I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself-Chapter 143 - 73: Huo Chang’s Moment of Glory, Aid Requested by All Clans

Cang Hex stood outside the West Mountain Camp, gazing at the clan soldiers whose evil qi soared to the heavens, only awakening from his reverie after hearing the calls of his clansmen.

At this moment, he was filled with mixed emotions.

How could it come to this?

Huo Zhang paid no mind to Cang Hex's expression, arranging for the clan soldiers beside him to enter the clan and report.

Upon hearing of Cang Hex's arrival, Huo Chang was still quite surprised and gave Cang Hex enough respect, meeting him all the way outside the clan.

"Cang Race Leader, you this..."

Looking at Cang Hex's full head of silver hair and elderly appearance, Huo Chang wanted to say something but felt it difficult to voice.

Cang Hex examined Huo Chang, his throat moving a few times. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"...Clan Leader Huo."

Several years ago, during the contest between the three race leaders of the Upper Lake Race Territory, Huo Chang used the prestige of the Young Master of the Upper Division to intimidate him.

But now, Cang Hex found it difficult to reconcile the Huo Chang before him with the Huo Chang of back then.

For a long time, the myriad thoughts in Cang Hex's mind transformed into one sentence, "Clan Leader Huo, I am here to seek assistance."

"Cang Race Leader, let's discuss inside."

"Alas!"

Under Huo Chang's guidance, Cang Hex walked along the stone steps towards the clan hall, taking in the view from the height.

The West Mountain Camp was fully visible, thousands of Black Armor soldiers gathered, their fists boomed like thunder, causing Cang Hex to feel a pain in his chest.

At the foot of the mountain adjacent to the camp, the Fire Lodge stretched out, the flames from forging connected into one, spanning over a mile.

On the archery range, Mountain-Splitting Kui roared, carrying a youth repeatedly charging outside the target.

In the distance, a group of Mountain-Splitting Kui was running inside the Beast Taming Garden.

...

Entering the clan hall, everyone took their seats.

The few clansmen brought by Cang Hex silently found seats in the back, bowing their heads in contemplation, unclear about their thoughts.

After seating, Cang Hex closed his eyes and quietly sat for about two breaths, then looked at Huo Chang.

"Clan Leader Huo, I came this time to borrow soldiers."

After speaking, unease surfaced in his heart.

"For what purpose does Cang Race Leader intend to borrow soldiers?"

"To reclaim the clan land."

Outside the mountains and forests, the conflict between the Xiaoyang Race and Human Race Tribe was known clearly to Huo Chang.

The Cyan Bird Race Territory in the Northern Lands was considered an excellent place for establishing a clan, located by the mountains and waters, with high production.

Thus, even after the Xiaoyang Race retreated, the Cyan Bird Race Territory was occupied by a Xiaoyang Tribe that migrated over.

The heavily injured Cyan Bird Division now lacked the strength to reclaim the clan land.

After stating his purpose, Cang Hex anxiously awaited the Blazing Flame's response.

From the moment he stepped into the Blazing Flame Race Territory, he understood that today was different from the past; the Cyan Bird was no longer the Cyan Bird of old, and the Blazing Flame had become an existence the Cyan Bird must look up to.

"Alright, I will personally lead clan soldiers to help Brother Cang reclaim the clan land!"

Upon hearing, Cang Hex was stunned.

He expected Huo Chang to state conditions first, as back then, before the Young Master Lingyu, he, Huo Chang, and Ape Peak often quarreled over the distribution of benefits.

Now, with the Blazing Flame possessing such prestige, it was more appropriate to propose conditions.

"When does Brother Cang plan to reclaim the clan land?"

Huo Chang's decisive action was so swift that Cang Hex was somewhat unresponsive.

"Naturally, the sooner, the better. Before coming, I already had the clansmen prepare."

Huo Chang nodded and spoke outside the clan hall, "Sound the horn, gather the soldiers!"

"Ashan, bring two thousand clan soldiers and ten Celestial Vein elites, follow me to deploy."

Ooo! Ooo! Ooo!

The desolate sound of the horn echoed, and upon hearing it, the entire ground of the West Mountain Camp shook.

The two thousand Black Armor Blazing Guard quickly assembled, gathering in the camp's martial arts field within moments.

Clansmen quickly brought a mountain of swords and bows, replenishing the damaged weapons and insufficient arrows in cultivation in the first instance.

Over a hundred Mountain-Splitting Kui were led out from the Beast Taming Garden, their heads covered with specially crafted helmets, their eyes obscured by special flax cloth, and their mouths and noses enclosed in cages.

This was to block the splattering blood, preventing the Mountain-Splitting Kui from being stimulated.

Though the gathering of soldiers didn't mean immediate departure, clansmen responsible for logistics quickly began cooking to allow the soldiers to enjoy a hearty meal before heading to battle.

...

By the time Huo Chang led Cang Hex to the camp gate, over a hundred martial artists riding Mountain-Splitting Kui had arrived.

Each was extremely capable, carrying strong bows on their shoulders, and many had a large bird perched on their shoulder, cooing softly.

The leading Huo Hou gestured to Cang Hex.

In previous years, he frequently traveled to the Cyan Bird Division for connections.

"Clan Leader, I'll take the scouts and set out first!"

Huo Hou gestured to Huo Chang and then acknowledged Cang Hex.

"Go!"

With a wave of his hand, over a hundred men transformed into a torrent, rushing southward.

Not until Huo Hou led the men far away did Cang Hex react; he recognized this person, but the potent blood qi emanating from the individual was so overwhelming that he hesitated to acknowledge.

Looking again at these scouts' shoulders, the domestication of flying birds was once a technique unique to the Cyan Bird Race.

"Give Cang Race Leader a mount!"

Huo Chang instructed his clansmen to lead over a Mountain-Splitting Kui.

"Go!"

Over two thousand clan soldiers 'enveloped' Cang Hex as they charged out of the West Mountain Camp, heading south.

...

Ancestral Temple.

Shen Can was having meat soup beside Huo Xian, completely unconcerned as Huo Chang led the clan soldiers south.

In the Great Wilderness, when a Wild Beast grows tusks, it starts to strike out everywhere, hunting and expanding its hunting grounds.

Now, Blazing Flame was a tusked Wild Beast.

Yanran Division has much to learn.

"Send a message to Shi Jun, asking him to lead the Blood Curse Guard to operate near the Cyan Bird Race Territory. If there's any change in the situation, stay close to the Clan Leader."

As Shen Can spoke, Ayu put down their large bowl and hurriedly walked out.

Dealing with the Xiaoyang Race occupying the Cyan Bird Race Territory is not difficult; it's just a Xiaoyang Tribe of four to five thousand people.

Outside the mountains and forests, many tribes migrated from the Xiaoyang Race, but most were small tribes.
