After a century of worship, I became the ancestor of the tribe.

Chapter 118 Another Migration? The Lingyu Comes from the West

It was still the temporary clan temple in the mountain cave where they held discussions.

This time there were only a few people.

"Giant footprints are everywhere on the ground of the Xiaoyang tribe, and many Xiaoyang tribes have been affected."

“I captured a messenger from the Xiaoyang clan and interrogated him until he revealed that it wasn’t just one branch of the Xiaoyang clan that issued the order to gather troops; all three major branches of the Xiaoyang clan in the north of Ji had given the order.”

"The information I received from the Xiaoyang tribe is that Jidi was also greatly impacted by Kuafu and Jinwu. A human elder also emerged who resisted Jinwu and Kuafu and saved many tribes."

"There is still a halberd mark left by the human ancestors on the buffer wasteland between the human race and Xiaoyang."

……

"Such a large-scale troop gathering probably numbers in the hundreds of thousands. Even if a detachment is sent here, our Blazing Flame Army cannot withstand it."

Upon hearing the news brought back by the Fire Monkey, Huo Tang's expression turned somewhat solemn.

Without the natural barrier, advancing would be a smooth road.

"Xiaoyang is trying to make up for his losses by taking them from the human race."

Huo Qi pondered. The target of the hundreds of thousands of Xiaoyang tribe soldiers was naturally the human tribes in Jidi. However, when Xiaoyang attacked Jidi, it was entirely possible that they would spare a portion of their tribe soldiers to go north.

Previously, the major tribes in Xiaoyang looked down on the Zhiyan tribe, but now that Zhiyan has risen to the status of a superior tribe, it has caught the attention of most of the Xiaoyang tribes.

Even though the dish of Blazing Flame was still a bit meager for them, it was still enough to satisfy their hunger.

Besides, the three tribes of Xiaoyang who were defeated earlier might have been thinking about revenge for a long time.

We can fight, Huotang is not afraid, we can fight, with Juyue behind us, we can break up into smaller groups, and we are not afraid of Xiaoyang.

What worries him is that the tribe has no time to settle down and develop.

Once a war breaks out, the resources that the tribe has painstakingly built up can easily be destroyed.

Countless tribes in Ji County were crushed and rendered powerless in this way.

Therefore, it would be best to find a secluded place to relocate most of the clansmen to cultivate and practice, while the clansmen's soldiers fight against Xiaoyang outside, training their troops and seizing resources from Xiaoyang at the same time.

"Could we try to contact our fellow tribes in Ji County?"

Huoqi spoke, but seemed somewhat unsure of what he was saying.

The people of Ji were regarded as barbarians by the people of the northern lands.

The fact that the Lingyu tribe came to capture slaves back then is enough to show the attitude of these kinsmen towards the people of the wilderness.

If the Xiaoyang tribe truly moves north, it's unlikely that any tribe in Ji will care about the scorching heat.

The Blazing Flame Sect has only been established for a short time; it doesn't even have an alliance.

Shen Can, who had been silent, was actually thinking about Lingyu Bobu.

Could it be that Lingyu was driven away by the Xiaoyang Clan?

Otherwise, why would they have abandoned even the ruins of the Yongshanbo tribe?

"Ah-Can, what do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Can asked in return, "Have you found a suitable new homeland?"

For the migrating tribe, from Shen Can to Huo Tang, and then to each of the tribe members, there was actually not much resistance.

In the perilous wilderness, surviving by running a little further is nothing.

Just like when the Blazing Flame Tribe migrated to the Great Swamp last time, the tribe used the swamp to catch countless fish and beasts, providing them with an abundant supply of meat.

But now the Great Swamp is gone.

What was once a convenient location is now facing a predicament due to changes in the situation.

Go wherever it's convenient to survive, and avoid danger; this is the instinct for survival.

If the Lingyu really ran west, then did the Zhiyan run north, east, or south?
"not yet."

Huotang gently shook his head. "If it really doesn't work, we'll try to head north and follow the ancient map that our senior gave us to the Juyue Mountains. With such a large Juyue Mountains, I don't believe there aren't suitable valleys and places suitable for farming."

A-Kui has been heading north with his men for several months now, and they haven't returned yet, so their investigation must have gone quite smoothly.

As long as I can settle my people, I am not afraid to fight the Xiaoyang. No matter how many Xiaoyang tribes come, I can simply follow your previous plan: if we can't win, we run. The mountains are so big, we can just run ten thousand miles.

"Ah-Can, if we migrate again, can we take the primordial veins beneath our clan's territory with us?"

This question left Shen Can speechless for a moment. “Try offering sacrifices and prayers to the spirits. If we were able to collect it back then at Gufu Mountain, we should be able to collect it back now.”

Hearing this, Huo Tang breathed a sigh of relief. He had already witnessed the power of the Yuan Meridian. If the migrating tribes could not take the Yuan Meridian with them, the loss would be too great.

……

After the clan meeting, Huotang issued a clan decree to the various tribes hiding in the mountains.

They regrouped their troops.

Xiaoyang has raised an army of hundreds of thousands, while the Zhiyan tribe has at least been promoted to the upper level, so it can still gather an army of 30,000.

Huo Tang didn't plan to fight his way out. He intended to rely on the mountains to defend himself, break up his forces into smaller groups, and follow A-Can's advice: fight if he could win, and run if he couldn't.

Geographical advantage is currently Zhiyan's greatest advantage. It would be foolish for them to go out and fight the large army sent by the Xiaoyang Clan.

At the same time, the people of various tribes began to pack their belongings, preparing to continue their journey deeper into the Juyue Mountains.

……

On this day, Shen Can had just killed a wild beast and was drawing the beast blood talisman as usual when Huo Tang hurriedly entered the ancestral temple.

"Ah Chan, good news!"

"A-Kui is back."

Huo Kui followed Huo Tang into the ancestral temple.

"Temple, I'm back."

Huo Kui took a leather bundle from his shoulder, bowed respectfully to the ancestors and the sacrificial cauldron, and handed the bundle to Shen Can with both hands.

"These are the offerings I brought back."

Shen Can opened it and saw a crystal-clear beast skull, its entire body tinged with blue, emanating a rich wood-source energy.

“I found this in a vast valley.”

"I led my people to a valley in the northern mountains. It was flat and vast, inhabited by a herd of large-horned elk, many mountain-cracking Kui, and countless other small wild beasts."

Huo Kui recounted what they had seen and heard in the mountains.

The reason I came back was because I saw a fire outside the mountain, in the direction of the tribe.

The group had no intention of continuing to explore the route and hurriedly ran back over mountains and valleys.

I was filled with anxiety on the way, fearing that the tribe would be lost.

“A-Kui’s return is perfectly timed.”

Huotang patted Huokui on the shoulder. "This place isn't far. It only took Kui and his group about ten days to enter the valley. Our entire tribe can move there in at most a month."

Crucially, it's well-hidden; without a map, it's easily lost, giving the tribe ample time to cultivate and train.

Huotang was very excited, the gloom of the previous days was swept away.

With a stable territory to develop, the tribe's worries were resolved.

Otherwise, while fighting Xiaoyang in the front, we'll also have to worry about our base being raided in the back.

It would be possible to scatter the tribe members in the mountains and forests, but that would delay the development of the tribe.

"Has the valley been thoroughly explored?"

"I looked around roughly, but didn't find any overly powerful wild beasts."

Huo Kui nodded. "When we discovered the valley, we were amazed by its vastness and fertility. We wondered how much grain we could grow if we could cultivate it, so I took people around to explore it."

Soon, Huotang and Shen Can reached an agreement.

The second migration of the tribe.

This time, they brought not only the Blazing Flame Tribe, but also all the vassal tribes. There are too few humans in the North, and given that Blazing Flame cannot communicate with Jidi in the short term, every human is precious.

“A-Kui, have someone lead the way, and have A-Shan take people to investigate that valley again.”

"Now that you're back, go to the Yongshan Ruins in the eastern Daze first and see if you can find some opportunities."

Huo Tang spoke up, thinking that he couldn't miss this opportunity. Anyway, there was no rush, only a few days, and the Blazing Flame Tribe had plenty of time to prepare.

Soon, the tribal soldiers began to relay orders, and everyone from the tribal territory to the vassal tribes began to get busy.

People began to fill water from the underground channel using earthenware jars and bronze vessels, preparing to drink it on their journey.

This underground canal, which existed for two months before and after the rampage of the Golden Crow and Kuafu, not only maintained the water supply for the Blazing Flame tribe, but also supplied a large portion of the water to various vassal tribes.

Especially during the hottest days, the entire mountainous area was almost completely dried out.

Huo Kui and the others also prepared to go to the ruins of Daze Yongshan.

Those who had remained in the tribe, including suitable members of vassal tribes, also went to the Yongshan Ruins to seek their fortune.

In addition, Huotang also left people at the ruins to see if any outside tribes would go there.

Huo Kui had only been gone for a day when the tribesmen who had stayed near the ruins returned to report.

A flying boat from the west landed outside the ruins.

Huotang's first thought was the Lingyubo tribe.

"The flying boat was over ten zhang in size and was very ornately carved."

Upon hearing the report from his clansmen, Huotang breathed a sigh of relief, as he had assumed it was the same as the flying boat that had come from the south before.

A size of ten zhang indicates that it is a small flying boat, and its grade is not very high.

"Quickly stop Huo Kui and the others for now."

……

under night.

Yongshan Ruins.

A blue flying boat, about ten feet in size, hovered outside the ruins, its pavilions adorned with carved beams and painted pillars.

On the eaves of the ship's tower, several carved wooden statues of wild beasts are also squatting.

On the airship, a dozen figures leaned against the stern, looking toward the entrance to the ruins.

"Haha, Yuchuan, stop embarrassing yourself. If you can't get in, you can't get in."

A young martial artist dressed in a magnificent silk robe, his face contorted with suppressed rage, stared at the illusory figure guarding the entrance.

Hearing the mocking voices behind him, Yu Chuan cursed inwardly.

"That dead bastard, he's been dead for so many years and he's still so stubborn!"

Yu Chuan, unwilling to give up, retreated a short distance and walked back to the door.

"Who goes there!"

"Lingyu tribe, Yuchuan!"

The phantom figure holding a long spear, its features indistinct, slightly raised its head and scrutinized Yu Chuan.

"roll!"

……

"Yu Chuan, stop struggling. You can't get in. Yongshan is no longer the Yongshan it used to be."

"I think we shouldn't have come. It's been so many years. Has this gatekeeper been cursed by someone? He won't let my Lingyu tribe in anymore."

"Damn it, our Lingyu ancestors used to offer plenty of sacrifices to this gatekeeper."

Yu Chuan turned away angrily and walked towards the flying boat.

Since the Lingyu tribe moved away, or rather, according to the clan records, before the Lingyu tribe moved away, the Lingyu tribe members were not allowed to enter this Yongshan site.

Not only the Lingyu tribe, but also many other tribes from Yongyi before them had tried to enter, but they were all turned away by this guard.

But this is, after all, a relic left behind by the most powerful bo tribe in Yongyi, and over the years the Lingyu bo tribe would send its people to try it out.

This time, the Golden Crow and Kuafu caused a cataclysmic earthquake, resulting in heavy losses for the Lingyubo tribe, including the river valleys cultivated by its various vassal tribes, which were almost completely destroyed.

Lingyu rice is the most purchased type of rice by various tribes in Yongyi, and it has been one of the mainstays of the Lingyu tribe's livelihood for many years. It would be impossible to restore it in less than ten or eight years.

As for why the goalkeeper wouldn't let him in, nobody knows for sure.

Some say that the tribe has already received enough opportunities, and these opportunities were specially reserved for smaller tribes.

Some say it's because the Lingyu fled back then and lost their will to fight.

"I'll try!"

Another young man jumped off the airship, looking quite spirited.

"Lingyu Ze Ferry!"

The goalkeeper sized him up.

"roll!"

Zedu's face flushed red instantly, his blood surged, and he wanted to make a move.

With a slight flick of his spear, the goalkeeper sent Zedu flying backward, coughing up blood.

“A-Du”.

A figure jumped off the flying boat and carried the young man back.

"Damn it, this guy must be cursed. If he won't give it to his own kind, is he going to give it to a foreign race, to those lowly mountain people!"

"Even if those savages were given the inheritance, could they defeat the alien races?"

Zedu was still spitting blood, but he kept cursing and swearing.

Some of the others appeared calm, but were actually quite pleased inside.

The dozen or so people came from different main branches of Lingyu. They were considered to be from the same tribe, but they were competitors to each other.

This trip wasn't actually arranged by the tribe; they came together on their own, crossing mountains and valleys.

Unlike the Eastern Hunting Swamp, there were no elders in the clan to accompany and oversee the tribe, because the elders dared not come out.

The Golden Crow and Kuafu, one released a fiery aura that evaporated lakes and marshes, the other drank wherever he went, and the waters along the way had long since dried up.

The Lingyubo tribe is a water-based people, and their witchcraft and martial arts are all water-based.

The weather is scorching hot, and the void is filled with fire energy. Without a water source, not only will the Lingyu clan's combat power increase not be achieved, but their combat power will actually decrease.

At this time, the clan leader and other powerful members of the clan must not come out.

Once their whereabouts are known to the Xiaoyang, fourth-tier wild beasts, or even the enemies of the Lingyu tribe, they can easily be hunted down.

After all, the Lingyu tribe had often taken advantage of floods to attack and annihilate others.

The cycle of fire and water has turned, and this time it's the Lingyubo tribe's turn to close their doors and defend themselves.

The world has undergone tremendous changes, and Lingyu River Valley has been destroyed in an instant. It will take a long time for the valley to recover. If it were to be hunted down by others, including a fourth-tier cultivator or many talented third-tier clansmen, that would be a devastating loss.

On the contrary, their group of a dozen or so young clansmen, although they were also the younger generation of the Lingyubo tribe, were neither among the top group nor the worst group without talent.

They are less constrained within the tribe, occupying a position that is neither high nor low, and are not subject to much restriction when going out.

Otherwise, if the tribe is severely damaged, the others will either hide and not come out, or be busy restoring the damaged tribe's territory, so they will not go out.

Some people still refused to believe it and jumped down to walk towards the goalkeeper.

"Lingyu Xunyue!"

"roll!"
