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

Chapter 136 I came to Ji County to do one thing (Bonus chapter for monthly votes)

Through Huotang's letter, Shen Can also understood the complexity of the situation in Ji.

After Xiaoyang conquered the Ji region, many tribes did not think about how to drive him out. Instead, they regarded the fallen Ji region as a place to fight for interests.

Huo Tang also explained in detail that the Yuanshan he established had been targeted by the two major tribes of Luodi and Luoshui.

The situation was complicated, which made Huotang somewhat worried.

As for Huotang's decisive action to kill the young master of Luoshui, Shen Can had no objection whatsoever.

If someone comes to your door threatening to kill you, and you're still thinking about compromising, that's just plain stupid.

The young master of Luoshui thought that Huotang was just like the warriors of Jidi, and that he had just hit the jackpot.

Huotang came from the mountains and forests, and over the years he has led Zhiyan to achieve the first part of the story. What he has never lacked is the courage to make decisive decisions.

I don't care if you're an old man or a big man, if you want me dead, I'll bring you down first.

However, Huotang was injured and needed to return to his clan's territory to recuperate, which was why Shen Can went south.

The territory of Ji is so large, providing a continuous stream of resources to the tribe; this territory cannot be allowed to fall apart.

Cangluan carried Shen Can all the way south, while Master Huoxian took care of the daily cleaning and sacrificial rites at the ancestral temple.

As Shen Can passed through the territory of the Xiaoyang tribe, he looked down and realized that the last time he crossed Xiaoyang, he was walking through the jungle and could not see much of the mountains and fields.

At this moment, looking out, the territory of the Xiaoyang Clan stretches across the east and west of Ji, blocking the connection between the North and Ji.

The Azure Phoenix leader knew the matter was urgent, so he didn't stop along the way and took only six days to cross the territory of the Owl Yang Clan and enter the Fallen Land.

under night.

The Azure Phoenix arrived above the Yuanshan tribe. Shen Can looked down and saw that the entire city was quiet. The bonfires were blazing and illuminating the surrounding area. Tribe members were patrolling the city walls with torches everywhere.

A scene resembling an imminent, formidable enemy.

"Leave me outside the city, and I'll sneak in quietly."

Shen Can spoke up, saying that Cang Luan was known to the Yuanshan tribe, and if he were to land with Cang Luan now, they would easily be discovered.

Cang Luan nodded, put Shen Can down in a dense forest outside the city, turned around and flew into the city, landing on the clan hall in the center.

Before long, Shen Can relied on his powerful divine sense to avoid the clan soldiers patrolling the city and quietly climbed through the window into the clan hall without being noticed by Huo Yan, who was guarding the hall door.

"Ah-Can, you're here."

Huo Tang lay on his side on the large stone bed, his blood energy surging violently.

He wasn't surprised by Shen Can's arrival; the Azure Phoenix that had just landed had already told him.

In addition, when he sent back the letter earlier, he also hinted at inviting Shen Can to come over.

The reason for sealing off the clan city during this period was twofold: firstly, to await Shen Can's reply, and secondly, to allow him to heal his injuries.

Shen Can stepped forward, sensed Huo Tang's injuries, and found that he was alright, having recovered somewhat.

"Thanks to the healing pills you prepared in advance."

Huotang stood up and said, "Now that you're here, I can finally rest easy."

"Chieftain, leave it to me. Is there anything else you need to tell me? If not, rest for the night, and I'll have Cangluan take you back to the tribe tomorrow."

"You've seen the letter I sent you. Even the two major tribes of Luodi want to take a bite out of us. The fact that I surrounded and killed the young master of the Luoshui tribe can't be kept secret at all."

The Yuanshan tribe is a relatively new tribe. Apart from a few elite soldiers, the rest are largely incompetent and harbor various ulterior motives; these people will undoubtedly spread the news.

"Let's break up then."

Shen Can didn't care at all; people who can't be used by him are useless, even if they cost hundreds of thousands.

Huo Tang's letter also stated that he wanted Huo Ning to bring the Three Fire Tribes over to annex the Yuanshan Tribe and make it disappear into the wilderness.

Such tribal annexation was common in occupied territories.

"I'll go and meet these two men from the Bo tribe."

After chatting for a while, Shen Can said, "I have experience dealing with the people of Bobu."

Upon hearing this, Huotang immediately thought of Weifu and burst out laughing.

“Ayan.”

Upon hearing the shouts, Huoyan entered the room and immediately addressed the clan leader, only to find an extra person in the main hall, smiling at him.

After a moment of stunned silence, Huoyan exclaimed.

"Temple!"

"Temple Master, what brings you here!"

He was standing guard outside the door, but no one came in.

"Close the door first."

Upon hearing the order, Huoyan quickly closed the temple door and strode to the front of Shencan Temple.

“Temple, you…”

"I'm going to check on those two warriors from the Bo tribe who are being held captive. I'll have all the guards removed and make sure no one knows I'm coming."

"I know, I'll arrange it right away. Lock him up in the dungeon."

Huoyan was somewhat excited. The atmosphere in the clan city had become increasingly chaotic these days, and the clan leader was injured and had not yet recovered.

Now things are alright, the temple has arrived.

"Look, you've come, and you're all so much more energetic."

Huotang smiled and pointed at Huoyan.

"Chieftain, give me all the information you've gathered about the Xiaoyang Clan. I'll see where to begin."

Huotang's letter said that he would drag the young master of the Luoshui tribe to fight against Xiaoyang and let him die at the hands of the Xiaoyang clan.

Shen Can agreed with this method.

However, on the way here, he thought to himself, "He is, after all, the young master of the Bo tribe. He can't die so quietly."

Since Luoshui dared to extend its reach into Ji, he decided to help the Luoshui tribe and restore their ancestral glory.

To restore the glory of Luoshui, we must have impressive achievements.

He came to Ji County to do one thing.

grab!
They'll steal anything.

The fame belongs to Luoshui, but the real benefits belong to Zhiyan.

In the latter half of the night, Shen Can went to the dungeon to see the two warriors from the Bo tribe. Compared to Luo Feng, the young master of Luoshui, Tan Yongshan, who also came from the Bo tribe of Luohe, was of much lower status.

One of the thousands of warriors dispatched by the Luohe Marquis, he was at the fifth level of the Heavenly Vein Realm and held the position of a centurion in Luohe.

After interrogation, Shen Can understood the entanglement between the Luohe and Luoshui tribes.

The Luoshui tribe has a long history, but its internal structure is now corrupt.

The Luohebo tribe has only been established for a little over a thousand years, and the tribe is still relatively united.

This can be seen from the way the two departments do things. Luoshui is too arrogant and regards the people of Ji as barbarians.

Although Tan Yongshan from Luohe also had some of these tendencies, at least he knew how to cover them up and knew how to use methods.

The reason why the two tribes went north was because they saw that the Jishanbo tribe was declining and wanted to take a piece of the land of Ji to increase their tribal strength and suppress the other party.

Shen Can was not interested in the conflict between the two parts.

Comparing the two, Luo Feng, the young master of the Luoshui tribe, played a more significant role, and his bronze chariot was a very obvious symbol.

With a history spanning over eight thousand years, the Bo tribe, which is even older than the Jishan Bo tribe, certainly has a resounding name.

……

Two nights later, Cangluan disappeared into the night with Huotang.

Shen Can stood outside the clan hall, watching the fire tower disappear, and then looked around the clan city.

Around him stood hundreds of people silently, including Huo Yan, Huo Zhan, and Huo Ning.

Long before Shen Can arrived, Huo Ning had already led his clansmen to wait a hundred miles away from Yuanshan.

Now, Yuanshan tribe is surrounded by Luan Bird soldiers above and Three Fire Clan soldiers below.

The Yuanshan tribe city under the cover of night had long been surrounded.

"Let's do it."

After withdrawing his gaze, Shen Can walked towards the clan hall.

Huo Ning put his arm around Huo Yan's shoulder. "Brother, I won't stand on ceremony."

Huoyan pushed Huoning's arm aside, grabbed the bow and arrow beside him, and fired an arrow into the sky.

As the arrow pierced the air, a sudden roar erupted within the once quiet clan city.

A portion of the Blazing Flame Clan members, who had been arranged in advance, immediately began their performance.

"The enemy is coming! What are you waiting for? Run!"

"Fight your way out with me, or you'll only be waiting to die."

This performance caused quite a stir, as if the entire tribal city had been blown up.

There were noises everywhere, and figures jumped out from all directions.

"Damn it, I've offended Bo Bu, and now he wants to trap me and let me die with him? Screw him."

Suddenly, the burning bonfires collapsed, and the flames swept out, illuminating every corner of the tribal city.

In the firelight, shadowy figures could be seen constantly clashing.

Suddenly, an even louder commotion erupted. "Xiao Yang is here! Run!"

"Xiaoyang is coming!"

It wasn't just one person shouting this; the voices rose and fell.

Clearly, some people are taking advantage of the situation.

Between the scattered houses of the clan city, figures kept rushing out of the houses and heading towards the outside of the city.

What are you doing?!

Huoyan flew to the top of the clan hall and roared, "All tribal soldiers, listen to my command! Anyone who rebels will be killed without mercy!"

Unlike the soldiers of the Blazing Flame Tribe who stayed in the barracks, the soldiers of the Yuanshan Tribe were not gathered together, but scattered among their respective homes.

Tonight, because of the deliberate instigation of unrest, all the clan soldiers under our control have infiltrated the clan city. Some people do deserve to die, but not everyone does.

In addition, dispersing the clan soldiers also makes it easier for those with impure intentions to cause trouble.

As Huoyan's voice rang out, the Blazing Flame Clan members in the clan city jumped to high places, calling their respective clan soldiers to return to their side.

When the scattered remnants of the tribes were gathered together and joined Yuanshan, many groups of hundreds or even thousands of people were incorporated into Yuanshan together.

Within the tribe, they also lived together in close proximity, and when they became tribe soldiers, they formed their own small teams.

At this moment, some people are focusing on fixed-income defense, while others are starting to call on friends and family to start their own businesses.

"Go to hell! Xiao Yang is coming to kill us. You think you can make me die with you? Dream on."

"Where is Canghe? He hasn't shown up for many days. It seems he is really seriously injured. I can take over the position of clan leader."

"Let's see what this guy is up to in the clan hall. The clan city has been under lockdown for so many days, could he have run away first?"

……

The flames grew larger and larger, and the chaos became increasingly turbulent.

A group of people charged towards the clan hall.

Huoyan's face darkened upon seeing this.

"kill!"

Enraged, he grabbed a heavy sword and cleaved a figure charging towards the clan hall in two.

"Calm down, you'll get used to it."

Huo Ning drew his bow and shot an arrow, and people around him were killed one after another.

He had anticipated this scenario.

When I arrived in Ji, I realized that there were too many monsters and ambitious people.

Besides those who charged towards the clan hall, others rushed towards the clan storehouse, the dungeon, and the armory.

……

Shoot the arrow!

Chaos erupted within the city, and a considerable number of people fled to the outside, only to be met with a dense rain of arrows shortly after they escaped.

The sound of thumping echoed as figures climbed up the city walls from outside, placing giant crossbows on the walls and aiming them at the city.

"clank!"

At that moment, the clanging sound was like thunder, constantly breaking through the sky and striking the figures leaping and jumping.

"Oh no! Someone's attacking!"

"Spare me, I surrender!"

……

But the figures on the city wall paid no heed to the shouts of these people. Anyone outside the houses carrying large or small bags was killed.

"Where are our giant crossbows? Where are our giant crossbows?!"

"Damn it, the giant crossbow is broken!"

The sounds of fighting continued until dawn, and thick smoke billowed from the entire city.

Giant crossbows stood tall on the city walls, and corpses littered the city walls, with rivers of blood flowing through them.

Squads of soldiers from the Three Fires tribe entered the city and began clearing the battlefield and eliminating the remaining inhabitants.

……

In the clan palace.

"Temple, I have taken over the clan city. Last night, all those who were jumping around were killed."

Huo Ning reported to Shen Can, then glanced at Huo Yan and said, "Also, the members of our Blazing Flame tribe have all been imprisoned separately."

Huoyan turned his head away, ignoring Huoning.

When they were hunting down the young master of Luoshui, the main force consisted of just a few hundred people from their own tribe.

Without the leadership of their own few hundred people, how could the scattered tribes' soldiers dare to take action?

Huo Ning's sudden appearance this time was under the pretext of avenging the young master of Luoshui.

As for whether the young master of Luoshui knew or not, Huo Ning didn't ask; anyway, it's always right to listen to the temple.

Slaughtering the main warriors who attacked Luo Shao, and then annexing the Yuanshan tribe, is a natural and easy task.

Upon hearing this, Shen Can nodded.

The Yuanshan tribe is a mixed group of people. If it were directly merged into the Sanhuo tribe, it would be equivalent to bringing this hidden danger into the Sanhuo tribe. This kind of cleanup would make things much cleaner.

They also managed to resolve the crisis caused by the siege of Luo Feng.

Then, Shen Can tossed Huo Ning a token. The front of the token had the words "Luoshui" on it, and the back had the word "wind".

"From now on, you belong to the tribe under the command of Young Master Luo Feng of the Luoshui Marquisate."

Huo Ning grabbed the token and stuffed it into his pocket, chuckling, "I've avenged the young master tonight, so this token is well-deserved, don't you think, Ayan?"

Huo Yan ignored Huo Ning and asked, "Temple Master, what do you want us to do next?"

"Take your people and find a place to hide for now."

Shen Can nodded. "From now on, you'll follow me."

Upon hearing this, Huoyan was overjoyed.

Huo Ning asked with some concern, "Miaotiao, should I leave another troop of soldiers to protect your safety?"

"No need, a few hundred tribesmen like Ayan are enough. Any more would be inconvenient for them to move around."

Shen Can continued, "After you've absorbed the Yuanshan tribe, you can leave after a short rest."

"By the way, Luo Feng has also taken over the Jiang Lin and Qiu Hu tribes. You could try annexing them as well."

"Of the dozen or so surviving antelope-like beasts, I selected two with lighter injuries to pull the chariots; you can take the rest back."

There needs to be something extra to prove your relationship with Young Master Luo Feng.

A day later, in full view of everyone, Huo Ning ordered his own clan members, who were hiding in the Three Fire Tribes, to 'burn' Huo Yan and his group to death in the fire.

Then, a great fire was set, and the entire city was completely reduced to ruins before the bronze chariots, carrying the remaining Yuanshan tribesmen and their spoils, were driven away.

……

half a month later.

A bronze chariot, pulled by two antelope-like beasts, moved swiftly across the wasteland.

Inside the chariot, Luo Feng, missing all four limbs, looked utterly despondent.

Not only did he lose his limbs, but his celestial meridians were also destroyed, leaving him completely useless.

Shen Can, urging the antelope beast along, took out a map and glanced at it.

We're almost there.

"Dragon Approaches the Ferry".

This is a ferry crossing on the Guimu River. It is said that more than 8,000 years ago, the rain master of the Yongshan tribe drank water here.

This place is now occupied by the Xiaoyang Clan, with several hundred Xiaoyang elites stationed there.

These warriors were several times more elite than the soldiers of the various tribes of Xiaoyang. On the surface, there were at least three Xiaoyang warriors with the strength of a commander of ten thousand men stationed there, but the details behind the scenes were unknown.

This place is only famous for its name; there are many better ferry crossings on the Guimu River.

Normally, even if Xiaoyang relies on the river to transport spoils of war, there is no need for hundreds of Xiaoyang warriors to be stationed here.

Huo Ning had been watching this place for a long time and had even sent out many scout warriors, but none of them returned.

Shen Can saw that the place was by the water, so he had to come and take a look.

Oh no, let's take a look at Luoshui Shao.

　Let me talk about the extra chapters.

　　Taking the past ten days or so since the book was published as an example, there were a few days with two updates, and the rest with three updates.

　　Although the number of chapters updated has changed, the word count has not dropped. It averages around 13,000 words per day, sometimes more, maybe 15,000 or 16,000 words, and sometimes less, around 11,000 or 12,000 words.

　　In this way, whether it's two or three updates, or whatever the word count, it's counted as a 10,000-word update for the day.

　　Additional chapters will be counted as extra chapters in addition to the daily 10,000-word update and will be marked on the chapter.

　　If the monthly votes exceed 3,000 in June, three extra chapters will be added as agreed before the book goes on sale.

　　I had originally written three chapters, but I wrote too much today and my thoughts are a bit chaotic. The third chapter wasn't very good, so I plan to rewrite it tomorrow. For now, I'll add two more chapters.
