I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself-Chapter 180 - 86: Post-Disaster Situation, Tribal Crisis (2)

These tribes do have some foundation, not inferior to the long-established upper-class tribes.

Counting other upper-class tribes, there are still twenty or thirty of them.

After investigation among these tribes, it was discovered that the legendary Human Race elder indeed existed and could repel the Golden Crow and Kuafu. Just how powerful was the elder?

Tier Five, or Tier Six?

It should be Tier Six!

For each division of the Human Race, this is a legendary existence.

Eight thousand years ago, Marquis Yongshan was rumored to be a Tier Six elder, but some said he wasn't.

If he truly was Tier Six, there wouldn't be Xiaoyang now, and Yongyi wouldn't be so fragmented, with each division governing itself, occasionally attacking each other.

Marquis Yongshan has passed away, yet now a true master has appeared.

Among various divisions, countless martial artists are wondering if the elder will accept disciples?

If a martial artist from their own tribe catches the elder's eye, even if only accompanying him for cultivation for a few years, wouldn't reaching Tier Four be quite simple?

But where is the elder now?

Did he follow the Golden Crow Kuafu all the way east?

Soon, someone saw a vast crack stretching over ten miles on a wasteland in the north of Ji Land, the buffer zone between the Human and Xiaoyang races.

A terrifying aura lingered on the land like a brand, refusing to dissipate.

Some said this was caused by the clash of the Human Race elder with Kuafu, with some of the power scattered.

Furthermore, rumors spread that the mark of this spear contained the elder's Martial Dao will, and those who could comprehend it would benefit immensely and might even be chosen by the elder as a disciple.

In any case, the rumors grew increasingly ridiculous.

But this didn't stop some tribal martial artists and rangers from rushing to the wasteland to investigate the great cleft.

This glimpse was truly extraordinary; some actually gained insights into the nuances, significantly enlightening their martial arts cultivation.

This further attracted martial artists to flock en masse.

Heading north across the wasteland was Xiaoyang Territory.

To put it simply, ever since Marquis Yongshan's northern expedition subdued Xiaoyang, this region has been considered part of Ji Land.

However, after Xiaoyang re-emerged, it began to encroach on Human Race territory.

The majority of the Xiaoyang Race lived north of Yongyi, with their clan lands stretching in an irregular elongated shape, traversing the east and west of northern Yongyi.

In the northwest direction of Yongyi, there is also a large tract of land occupied by the Xiaoyang Race, penetrating deep into the heart of Yongyi.

Several major branches of the Xiaoyang Royal Race each have roughly defined territories, some overlapping, spanning vast areas.

For example, in the north of Ji Land are the three major branches: Mu Kang, Qiu Yin, and Muo Yan, with the Muo Yan branch holding most of the territory in this Ji Land area, including the ancestral land of the Xiaoyang Race, Gufu Mountain.

Of course, while Gufu Mountain is within the domain of the Muo Yan branch, this region is shared by Xiaoyang as a whole.

Moreover, in the northwest direction of Yongyi, other Xiaoyang branch territories also have several enclaves of varying sizes belonging to Muo Yan.

The Xiaoyang tribes in these enclaves are related by bloodline to the Muo Yan branch and are subordinate to it.

Similarly, in the north of Ji Land, other Xiaoyang branches have enclaves of different sizes.

The reason for this situation is related to the migration of various Xiaoyang divisions; these Xiaoyang tribes of different branch bloodlines can never change their blood relations, no matter where they migrate to.

Among the Xiaoyang branch clans, some are strong and some are weak; the powerful ones compare to the Human Race Bo Division, while the weaker ones are akin to the older upper-class Human Race tribes.

Nevertheless, the Xiaoyang Race has prospered rapidly over the years, enhancing its clan strength quickly.

This time, with the Golden Crow Kuafu's passage, Xiaoyang Territory was significantly impacted; the elongated territory from east to west was covered with the large footprints of the Kuafu Race, with signs of fire burned everywhere.

On this day.

In the barren Xiaoyang Territory, a group of Xiaoyang martial artists swiftly traveled through the bald wilderness on Crocodile Dragons.

"Clan Chief orders, gather the troops!"

"Clan Chief orders, gather the troops!"

...

Xiaoyang tribes emerging from hiding, some still rebuilding their tribes, after hearing the clan order, some sturdy Xiaoyang martial artists quickly grabbed their weapons and rushed out of the tribe.

The news of Xiaoyang gathering troops was quickly obtained by the Human Race tribes in Ji Land, and divisions immediately began preparations in earnest.

This situation was already anticipated by the divisions.

After a great disaster, if it's not you seizing from me, it's me seizing from you.

Xiaoyang suffered significant losses this time, while the divisions of the Human Race were frightened by the Golden Crow Kuafu.

If Xiaoyang attacks, even though they can be repelled, the losses would still be substantial.

...

Blazing Flame Race Territory.

The temporary clan hall was a cave, with seventy to eighty people sitting in the darkness.

"Ancestral Temple Keeper."

When Shen Can arrived, everyone stood up to greet him, making way for Shen Can to move forward.

As Shen Can walked through the crowd, he used his Divine Sense to gauge, noting that aside from his few disciples, the rest were Celestial Vein Martial Artists.

In the month he stayed at the Ancestral Temple, another dozen clan members had broken through to the Celestial Veins.

Currently, the Blazing Flame Tribe's Celestial Vein level combat strength has surpassed the number a hundred.

After Shen Can took his seat, everyone leaned against the cave to find a place to sit.

"Acan, most of the people who were fishing in the Great Wild Marsh have been withdrawn."

Huo Chang spoke, and the cave fell silent.

The main reason for withdrawing people was that it's been more than a month since the disaster caused by the Golden Crow Kuafu, and if a large number of people continue to be scattered in the Great Marsh searching for water sources to fish, the safety of the clan land wouldn't be assured.

Moreover, most of the fish had long died; currently, catching those in small water sources doesn't require so many people.

After speaking to Shen Can, Huo Chang swept his gaze over the crowd in the cave.
