I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself-Chapter 101 - 58: The Ranger Is Covetous, Targeting Blazing Flame (Qiu Yue Ticket Request)_2

A flying ship passing through unexpectedly led to such a chain of events, leaving him mentally exhausted.

The next day.

Clan Hall.

"Clan Leader, something happened at the Rongshan Settlement."

The one reporting was Huo Zhang, a clan member stationed at the Rongshan Settlement. He was the commander of the militia there, with the strength of the Mountain Opening Realm.

"More than ten youths and children died, all drained dry."

"The incident happened last night and was only discovered at dawn by early risers. I returned to report immediately."

This matter forced Huo Chang to associate it with the people coming from Yongyi.

Besides martial artists, there were Blood Witches, and even Alien Races among the rangers.

"Were any adults harmed?"

"I checked carefully before I left, the target was clear—all children."

Huo Zhang's eyes also showed a murderous intent; in his eyes, these subjects were all parts of the Blazing Flame Tribe.

It had been difficult to recover, and just as new life was born, such a calamity struck again.

Huo Chang pondered. If there were only the Blazing Flame's territory, this wouldn't be much of a problem.

But there were thirteen settlements; sending the clan's martial artists out would dilute the defense and leave the clan land vulnerable.

"Send messages to all the settlements to bring all youths under the age of fifteen to the clan division.

If there are young children, bring their mothers along to settle at the clan division."

Starting from the southernmost settlements, all began migrating northward, eventually converging at the Wangshan Settlement outside the clan land.

Inform everyone to travel light, as the clan division has food, and the main goal is swift migration."

Wangshan Settlement could be seen from the clan division.

With insufficient defense, Huo Chang decided to begin relocating the subjects.

With more and more people coming from Yongyi, it was time to gather everyone together.

With Huo Chang's orders, the thirteen settlements quickly migrated, arriving at the Wangshan Settlement under the protection of the clan soldiers.

The children were directly sent into the clan land for focused care.

...

At night, three figures looked at the emptied Zeyang Settlement.

"Frightened into retracting their arms and legs after a few children died, this Northern Lands tribe is truly cowardly."

A young martial artist spoke, "Luoxue, look, you've scared them."

Luoxue masked her face, speaking gently, "Bai Lang, isn't cowardice better?

Being cowardly makes them easier to manipulate. I don't know what treasures the Northern Lands have, but they're empty; capturing everything to enhance strength is the real deal."

Saying this, an unnatural flush appeared on Luoxue's face.

"This tribe seems to have tens of thousands of people, but it's just an empty shell, gathered after the flood.

There are not many martial artists. If we capture them, the Sacrificial Master will certainly be pleased.

In Ji Land, we didn't have the chance to touch a tribe of tens of thousands."

Saying this, Luoxue glanced at the two beside her, enticing them: "By sacrificing this tribe of tens of thousands, the Sacrificial Master will surely grant a higher cultivation method. Dual cultivation of Martial Dao and Witchcraft Path will no longer be a luxury."

Hearing this, the two martial artists beside her indeed showed a trace of longing.

"Next, we need to put more pressure on this small tribe. It's up to you."

...

Two days later.

On the southwestern shore of the Great Marsh, the last settlement Pohu.

When Shen Can passed by here, he was somewhat stunned to see an empty settlement.

After some inspection, he found no signs of bloodshed or fighting, and the fields outside were well-tended.

It didn't seem like a sudden disaster had struck.

"It should be arranged by the clan. Let's go back to the tribe."

Shen Can called out, continuing northward.

He speculated that Huo Chang relocated these distant subjects for easier care.

The reason was obvious.

Just like the man and woman killed in Qu River before, the sinister man mentioned barbarians to the north.

The martial artists from Yongyi, experienced in battles, here to deal with scattered groups that could be wiped out by natural disasters, were like wolves entering a flock of sheep.

When wolves enter a flock, can you expect the wolves to eat grass?

Sure enough, as they journeyed northward, the settlements along the way had all been relocated, and it seemed the relocation had happened within a few days.

As dusk approached, they finally saw the Blazing Flame Race Territory.

And they saw the relocated subjects.

...

"Acan!"

Outside the Ancestral Temple, Huo Xian, seeing Shen Can return, showed a joyful expression on his old face.

Huo Chang was also there.

"It's done."

Shen Can nodded.

Huo Xian pinched Shen Can's body and said, "Good that you're back. You didn't eat well outside, did you? I'll cook."

"Good that you're back."

Huo Chang also spoke the same words.

He saw the remaining five people, and even though he knew some wouldn't make it back, the fact that only five returned showed the difficulty of the journey.

"I've had hot water prepared for you. Take a bath to wash away the fatigue." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

In the residence next to the Ancestral Temple, Shen Can leaned against a wooden tub, taking a short rest. The journey had indeed been exhausting, rushing and escaping from the Xiaoyang Race's pursuit.

Fortunately, the Xiaoyang didn't know he had taken the Human Race's Residual Spirit, otherwise, if they had blocked Qu River with heavy soldiers, returning would have been even harder.

"Acan, you've worked hard on this journey."

Huo Chang sat leaning against a stone chair.

"It was alright; caught the Xiaoyang off guard by completing the sacrifice and sneaking back."

Shen Can didn't open his eyes, responding to Huo Chang's question.

"It seems the tribe can't prepare for a Great Sacrifice at the moment?"

"Recently, the rangers from Yongyi strike ruthlessly; the Cyan Bird's message said two small tribes nearby were wiped out."

Huo Chang rubbed his head, "These people from Yongyi are extremely arrogant. The Blood Witches treat our place as a fief."
