I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself-Chapter 213 - 97: The Inheritance of the Earth Armor Bo Division, Xiaoyang’s Loot_2

In Shen Can's view, the Ao Mountain Flying Ship was likely destroyed by Xiaoyang.

The one who benefits is the culprit.

With this move, Yanran was wounded, allowing Xiaoyang's army to penetrate the Ji Land for ten thousand miles.

The appearance of Golden Crow Kuafu was just an accident, even without this turmoil, Xiaoyang would likely have mobilized troops.

According to the reports received, many people in Ji Land were cursing the Ao Mountain Bo Division as Xiaoyang's accomplice.

But Ao Mountain couldn't hear it; they patted their backsides and returned to Yongyi.

Even if Xiaoyang breaks into Ji Land, they can't reach Ao Mountain Clan Land.

In the ten-thousand-mile land occupied by Xiaoyang in Ji Land, the two races are in a seesaw battle; small-scale clan soldiers and regrouping settlements are continually clashing.

Precisely because of this chaos, Huo Ning was able to gather tens of thousands of displaced people, and even recruit thousands of clan soldiers to join the Jishan Bo Division's tribal coalition.

Huo Chang sighed while speaking, "Ji Land is too chaotic."

Shen Can felt it was an opportunity.

Now, the clansmen in Ji Land continue to supply artisans, minerals, classics, and more to the clan.

However, due to the obstruction by Xiaoyang Race Territory, not much is being sent.

"Clan Leader, have the clansmen increase the collection of various witchcraft and Martial Arts Classics.

If we can't get the complete ones, we can settle for fragments.

Fragments, broken ones, ones that nobody wants; even if there's only a few words, I'll take it."

"Alright, I'll pass on the message to the clansmen."

...

Three Fire Division.

Located in the Northern Border of Ji Land, a rebuilding tribe in the mixed battle zone of the Human Race and Xiaoyang.

The tribe is built against the mountains, with black city walls constructed from mountain rock extending over ten miles.

At this moment, shadows of people surged within the tribe, constantly accompanied by the sounds of metal clashing.

In the middle of the tribe's martial arts arena, over a thousand heroic men wielding long spears and ring-headed sabers were cultivating.

On the high point of the tribe near the mountains, Huo Ning was also cultivating, but if one only observed the movements without looking at the person, they might recognize a resemblance to Huo Chang.

After a few years outside, his physique had become more robust, and his bronze-toned body was covered with scars, with evil Qi surging all over.

"Clan Leader, your sister is here."

Someone came forward to report to Huo Ning.

Huo Ning ended his cultivation, knowing without thinking who had arrived.

Huo Tu, accompanied by a dozen attendants, entered the clan city, surveying everything.

The last visit was just three months ago, and already there were changes again; the Martial Artists were more elite, and there were noticeably more people.

From afar, she saw Huo Ning coming to greet her.

"Brother Aning."

Huo Tu also quickly approached, leaning towards Huo Ning's ear, "You're becoming more like the Clan Leader."

Huo Ning paused, then patted Huo Tu's shoulder.

"Far from it."

Though he has gathered so many people, the environment in Ji Land and the Northern Lands is vastly different, with many destroyed tribes, making it easy to gather people.

The reason for gathering so many people is that he can lead them to victories over Xiaoyang more often than defeats.

And the reason for more victories than defeats is he listened to the Ancestral Temple Keeper's advice.

Moreover, when leaving the clan, he already had Celestial Vein Realm strength and experience leading troops.

"Atu, is there something on your mind?"

Huo Tu rolled her eyes at Huo Ning, "Can't I come without a reason? Just passing through your area, so I decided to stop by."

Huo Ning wore a look of disbelief.

Now, with the ten thousand miles occupied by the Xiaoyang Race, the Ji Land Human Race had no capability for counterattack.

And though Xiaoyang seemed to occupy ten thousand miles, the vast wild mountains still harbored a large number of remnants of the Human Race people.

Like the tribe that Huo Ning gathered, not only strong in population but also in fighting capability.

Now Xiaoyang's main clan soldiers were confronting the Bo Division; unless a significant victory occurred again, they couldn't spare enough clan soldiers to clear the Human Race tribes from the occupied lands.

Huo Ning now joined the tribal coalition of the Jishan Bo Division, tasked with harassing Xiaoyang and awaiting orders for the Human Race counterattack.

The two of them walked into the Clan Hall; Huo Tu did not hold back.

"The Earth Armor Bo Division was broken, the Sacrificial Spirit perished, clansmen scattered, and most of the clan's classics were snatched by various divisions, although some still fell into Xiaoyang's hands."

"Not helping the fellow clan, but robbing the heritage; some tribes truly deserve to die!"

Killing intent flashed in Huo Ning's eyes; since arriving at Ji Land, he realized that many battles where they could have defeated Xiaoyang were inexplicably lost.

Clearly there could have been unity and combined efforts, yet it was a scattered mess.

Facing Xiaoyang, some even disobeyed the clan orders of the Jishan Bo Division, truly opening his eyes.

The root cause is that the next generation successor of the Jishan Bo Division has not emerged yet.

The several Divine Treasure Martial Artists within the tribe are several hundred years old, and it's been over a hundred years since a new Divine Treasure Realm has emerged.

The terror of a halt in Divine Treasures is evident in Ji Land with living examples.

The latest is the Earth Armor Division, which has declined at an unimaginable speed.

Why hasn't Jishan birthed a new generation of Divine Treasures? The reason is that during conflicts with Xiaoyang, the middle and young generation were cut down, and the younger generation hasn't caught up.

As a result, Jishan now has no choice but to adopt a defensive stance, aiming to consolidate resources while waiting for the younger generation to mature.

"The portion of the Earth Armor Division's inheritance Xiaoyang seized is en route to Heyang Ruins Market. If we act quickly, we should be able to intercept it."

Upon hearing Huo Tu say this, Huo Ning's eyes lit up.

"Heyang Ruins Market."

Originally an exchange place within the Human Race, Heyang Ruins Market became a logistics hub for Xiaoyang when they moved southward. A large amount of resources, relying solely on land transportation, can't match the speed of water transportation.

"Including some tribe members of the Earth Armor Tribe, also at Heyang Ruins Market."

"Does this mean a large amount of resources has piled up at Heyang Ruins Market?"

Huo Ning squinted his eyes, pondering deeply.

Even though several Ruins Markets in the Northern Lands are places for trading, Ji Land has indeed built large cities.

Certain influences that exist independently of the tribes at some Ruins Markets aren't weaker than Upper-class Tribes.

Adjacent to Guimu River, Heyang Ruins Market sees the river flowing from north to south, reaching Yongyi.

While the Golden Crow's migration dried up the upstream Guimu River, it hasn't delved deep into Yongyi's core, so some of the downstream river water flows backwards.

Although the river lacks the expansiveness and depth it once had, boats can still sail it.

Huo Tu raised an eyebrow, surprised that Huo Ning dared aspire after Heyang Ruins Market.

It's a place heavily guarded by Xiaoyang, with a large amount of resources continuously transferred from Heyang to Xiaoyang Race Territory.

Even if Huo Ning gathers everyone, it's not enough to swallow the Xiaoyang in one go.

This isn't a matter of numbers, but rather of High-tier Martial Artists.

Huo Ning paced back and forth several times in the Clan Hall, muttering, "For questions, ask the Ancestral Temple Keeper."

Huo Tu was stupefied, staring blankly at Huo Ning.

"Is this your idea?"

"Think about it; how many tribes has Xiaoyang conquered? How much inheritance has piled up in Heyang Ruins Market, potentially getting what the Ancestral Temple Keeper wants."

"Oh dear, why didn't I think of this sooner?"

Huo Ning felt somewhat frustrated, unsure if he was upset for not considering Heyang Ruins Market earlier or for not consulting the Ancestral Temple Keeper. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"If we could empty out Heyang Ruins Market, no, even half of it, it'd be enough to burst us Blazing Flame."

"No, we'll act now. Since Xiaoyang is capturing people, let's infiltrate before they know it."

"Also, contact within the tribe and inquire about the Clan Leader and the Ancestral Temple Keeper's opinions."

...

Blazing Flame Race Hall.

Shen Can entered the Clan Hall, and Huo Chang handed him a piece of animal hide paper without saying anything.

Shen Can glanced at the densely written text on it, then looked up at Huo Chang.

"Are the clansmen we sent out this wild?"

Look what's written.

Heyang Ruins Market, a Xiaoyang clan transfer hub, piled high with war spoils seized by Xiaoyang.

Looting just a bit would be enough to stuff Blazing Flame.

"Too risky, daring beyond belief."

Huo Chang rubbed his head, feeling a headache setting in.

You wonder what message these kids send back when such a big piece of meat is out of reach, leaving him restless.

The Xiaoyang transfer base likely has Tier Four Powerhouses stationed.

The current Blazing Flame isn't equipped to deal with such Powerhouses.

For a while, Huo Chang didn't hear Shen Can speak.

"Acan, what do you think?"

Shen Can set down the animal hide paper. According to the intel, Xiaoyang seized so many things that he couldn't help but feel envious.

"Clan Leader, whether it's feasible depends on whether Xiaoyang gives us this opportunity."

From Xiaoyang breaking the Human Race Tribe and robbing resources, heritages, and populations, escorting them to Heyang Ruins Market for temporary storage, to accumulating numbers and shipping them north via Guimu River in batches—there's a mix of waterways and land routes spanning over Ten Thousand Miles Land.

Even though Tier Four Martial Artists are powerful, they can't manage every place, allowing for loopholes along the way.

Gather manpower to first scout this escort route; opportunities are discovered this way. We don't aim to capture too much—just filling a ship is profit enough."

"Alright, I'll arrange it immediately." Upon hearing this, Huo Chang nodded.
