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

Chapter 160 Mu Xiao's Wrath, the Problem of the Yan Ran Clan Chief!
Inside the main hall of the stone pagoda.

A hush fell over the scene. The two commanders of Xiaoyang, Mu He and Mu Jiangyun, who had come to report the news, were so prostrate on the ground that they could barely breathe.

But there was no sound at all inside the main hall.

There was no movement, and Mu He and Mu Jiangyun dared not move, not even to look up.

They entered the main hall one after the other to deliver the message.

Mu Feilong's defeat is just that—defeat. It won't damage Xiaoyang's foundation. But the human race's invasion of their territory and annihilation of the Muyan bloodline tribe is destroying the foundation of the Muyan branch.

The rise of many branches of Xiaoyang is due to their shared bloodline, which allows them to control a larger number of mixed-blood tribes.

In the past, whenever a small tribe of mixed blood, especially the 'Owl' clan, rose to power, it would be attacked by various branches.

Maintaining the mixed bloodline in small, scattered tribes has always been a method of governance for the major branches.

However, to maintain the suppression of mixed-blood tribes, one must also have a sufficient number of bloodline members.

The fact that a large number of Muyan bloodline members have been wiped out by the human race is a great disadvantage for Muyan.

Not to mention, in addition to suppressing the mixed-blood tribes, they also had to subdue the two major branches, Qiuyin and Mukang.

The reason why the Qiuyin and Mukang branches were so obedient during this southward expedition was not only because they could gain advantages from the human race, but also because the Muyan branch was powerful.

If this trend continues, Mu Yan has a high probability of unifying the Qiu Yin and Mu Kang branches, becoming the strongest branch of Xiao Yang.

While these two branches outwardly obeyed, they naturally didn't want to serve Mu Yan as a subordinate.

It can be said that the massacre of tribes with the Muyan bloodline by humans has truly begun to shake the Muyan's prestige.

……

a long time.

"What's wrong with you two?"

On the jade couch, Mu Xiao finally spoke, "You can breathe. If the dignified Commander Mu Yan were to suffocate, wouldn't that be a huge joke?"

"Pulse Master."

Upon hearing this, Mu He and Mu Jiangyun looked up at the clan leader, Mu Xiao, their eyes filled with surprise and doubt.

“It’s no big deal. Just kill them. Send an order to the High Priest of the Witch Temple to send out sacrificial soldiers to surround and kill them, and sacrifice them to our ancestors.”

"Master, according to the news sent back from our clan, this group of humans who entered our clan's territory are all filled with murderous aura and are using our clan as cultivation resources."

After slaughtering all the tribes, thousands of them vanished into the mountains and forests, launching surprise attacks on the tribes of my Muyan branch.

Mu Jiangyun stammered, “When the various units went out to encircle and suppress them, these people simply hid in the mountains and forests, scattered and launched surprise attacks everywhere. They would strike once and then disappear without hesitation, making them extremely difficult to wipe out.”

"And there are also the areas where our territory borders the Mukang and Qiuyin branches. These people made their moves on our territory and then went to hide in the territories of these two major branches."

“They almost exclusively raid the tribes under my Muyan branch.”

“Thousands of them are hiding in the vast territory of our tribe, making it difficult for us to encircle and annihilate them.”

At this moment, Mu He looked at Mu Jiangyun with a deep and serious gaze.

"Are you sure it's all true?"

Mu Jiangyun was somewhat displeased, "What do you mean? This is news from within the clan!"

"Pulse Master."

Mu He ignored Mu Jiangyun and hurriedly looked at Mu Xiao, "The move used by the human race is somewhat similar to the move Mu Feilong used against the Three Fire Tribes in Heyang."

"What do you mean?" Mu Jiangyun looked surprised and suspicious. "Are you saying that the human race stole Mu Feilong's moves and invaded my Mu Yan clan's territory?"

Mu He hurriedly said, "The Three Fire Tribes of the Human Race have Red Armor Soldiers who cultivate with the flesh and blood of my Xiao Yang. The humans who invaded my Mu Yan Tribe's territory this time are all these damned things."

"Just when Mu Feilong used this move, our clan's territory was attacked in a similar way. Is this just a coincidence?"

The main hall was completely silent.

Mu Jiangyun's eyes darted around, and he said hatefully, "Mu Feilong deserves to die!"

Mu Feilong, Mu Feilong, it's your fault for not having this good fortune.

Unlike that old fellow Mu He, it also has the potential to advance to the Divine Treasure level.

"Master, we must bring Mu Feilong back. The defeat at Heyang is a minor matter, but it led the humans into our territory. This concerns the grand plan of the Mu Yan lineage to unify Xiaoyang. He deserves to be torn apart by chariots!"

"And last time, the disciple valued by the High Priest, the next generation of High Priests who was expected to reach the fourth rank, was also killed by the human race under Mu Feilong's rule."

The clan leader was magnanimous enough to allow him to remain guarding Heyang, but unexpectedly, he caused such a disaster; he deserves to die!

Where is Mu Feilong?

On the jade couch, Mu Xiao spoke softly, his expression revealing neither joy nor anger.

"Still fighting against the Three Fire Tribes of the Human Race in Heyang."

"What a joke! They were utterly defeated by the humans, with hundreds of thousands of their people scattered across the mountains and fields. They even lost their garrison. What do they have left to fight the humans?"

Mu Jiangyun wanted to continue speaking, but Mu Xiao's voice rang out from the jade bed.

"Send the order to the High Priest to exterminate the humans within the tribe's territory as soon as possible."

"Go down."

Mu Jiangyun was startled and dared not say anything more. After exchanging a glance with Mu He, she quickly left the main hall.

"Buzz!"

After the main hall was empty, a torrent of bloody energy burst forth from Mu Xiao's body, and the terrifying aura turned the jade couch beneath him into dust.

Mu Xiao's eyes flashed with a fierce light.

……

After Mu Jiangyun and Mu He withdrew from the main hall, the two Xiao Yangs quickly walked towards a stone hall in the distance, as the outside was indeed not a place for discussion.

As night fell, two hundred feet outside the main hall of the stone pagoda, a owl-like creature emerged from its tent, bid farewell to its companions, and traveled twenty miles to a hilly area.

The entire hill has been completely carved into the shape of a palace, with carved beams and painted pillars, and engraved with the shapes of powerful wild beasts from the wilderness.

Outside the palace, there was a small lake that had been specially dug. In addition to fish, young women, boys and children of the human race were also swimming in the water.

All the figures swimming in the water looked terrified, showing no signs of playing in the water.

"Hahaha……"

As laughter erupted from the main hall, eunuchs from Xiaoyang rushed out of the hall and entered the lake to begin the selection process.

"This one, that one, and these few, hurry up, don't spoil the master's fun."

Amid exclamations, figures were pulled from the water, quickly thrown into the cauldron, and carried into the main hall of the hill.

This is the way the Qiongyin Meridian Master likes to eat; it doesn't eat the elderly, only young women and children.

"Reporting to the Pulse Master, there is no movement from Pulse Master Mu Yan's location."

The news that had returned from near the Stone Pagoda Hall prostrated itself at the feet of the Lord of the Yin Vein.

"I've been drinking with the commander of the Mu Yan lineage since morning, and there's still no movement in the main hall where the Mu Yan lineage leader is."

The Master of the Yin Meridians wiped the bloodstains from the corner of his mouth, and his smile suddenly turned ferocious.

"Everyone get out!"

"Mu Xiao, you really know how to keep your composure."

The Qiongyin Meridian Master murmured coldly, "The Muyan Clan's territory has been attacked by the human race, which is great news for it."

Even though he knew it was a conspiracy by the human race, it was truly beneficial to Qiu Yin.

There's no way around it; over the years, Muyan has become increasingly powerful, and it seems to be issuing orders.

Damn it, we're all leaders of the same lineage, powerful experts with divine treasures. Just because your Mu Xiao's combat strength is slightly stronger than ours?
And that damned High Priest, I don't know what Mu Xiao did, he actually got the High Priest's support.

This puts the Qiuyin and Mukang lineages in an increasingly passive position.

Since both branches of the tribe were located northeast of Yongyi and close to Muyan, they became Muyan's first target for annexation.

The great battle has progressed to this point, with the human races of Jishan and Yanran holding off the enemy forces ahead.

With the newly rising Three Fire Tribes of the Human Race behind them, and the consecutive defeats in Heyang and Yangshan, it will be difficult to occupy the vast territory they have conquered.

"First came Yanran, then Sanhuo. This old tribe of Jishan is really lucky."

A hundred years ago, Jishan was already on the verge of collapse. With the combined strength of the three major branches of Xiaoyang in the north of Jishan, there was a high probability that they could crush the Jishan tribe.

But then Yanran suddenly rose to prominence and managed to withstand the attack from the Mu Kang lineage.

Speaking of which, the rise of the Yanran tribe of the human race was also very strange. It took a hundred years, not just a day or two. During this period, Yanran faced the danger of annihilation countless times, but it survived each time.

Now, with the emergence of a fourth-tier divine treasure, the tribe has been completely stabilized, blocking the western part of Ji. The appearance of a fourth-tier treasure in Yanran has also provided support to the isolated Jishan.

But now, another three fires have appeared.

Compared to Yanran, where on earth did these three fires come from?

After emerging, he dared to gather millions of survivors and dared to stand up to Xiaoyang's killing spree, even more reckless than Yanran.

"It took Yanran a hundred years to rise to power back then, so who exactly is behind this Sanhuo?"

The swollen yin meridian indicates that the person gets up and paces.

Luoshui!
It knew what the Luo River looked like; could it be that the Luo River had undergone a complete transformation?

Judging from the fact that the appearance of the Three Fires stirred up the situation in northern Ji, there must be someone behind these Three Fires.

Is he truly an old man from Luoshui?

"That guy Mu Xiao, even his hometown has been raided by the human race, yet he neither retreats nor attacks. What exactly is he plotting?"

The chief of the Yin Meridians looked somewhat gloomy. Ever since the army marched south, he had suspected Mu Xiao's intentions.

After all, it was no secret that Mu Xiao wanted to annex Qiu Yin.

If something happens to its leader, then the Qiuyin lineage will truly be swallowed up.

However, as they marched south, their army won consecutive victories, expanding their territory by tens of thousands of miles. They even relocated tribes to occupy new lands, and the corresponding benefits were distributed among the Qiuyin and Mukang lineages.

Therefore, it also wondered if it was overthinking things, and that Mu Xiao might not have even considered making a move against it yet.

"Qiuyun".

A figure quickly entered the main hall.

"Come here."

Qiu Yun approached Qiu Yin Mai Zhu and turned his ear to the side.

"You quietly return to your clan's territory. If those clansmen who launched the attack hide in my branch's territory and do not disturb my branch's tribe, then when you launch the encirclement and annihilation, just make a show of it."

"understood."

"Go."

The leader of the Yin lineage walked out of the main hall and looked towards the tall stone tower in the distance.

……

News of the battle at Heyang and the Xiaoyang tribe's territory quickly reached the Jishanbo tribe and the Yanran tribe.

Although Yanran has only been rising for a hundred years, the tribe has developed extremely rapidly in the past hundred years, and scouts and agents have long been spread throughout the Ji region.

……

The ancient land of Liuming.

On a vast plain, millet can still be seen growing vigorously, but unfortunately no one is harvesting it.

The prime farmland was turned into a bloody battlefield.

South of the ancient land, the joint camp stretches for three hundred li.

The crimson battle flags fluttered in the wind, and even in broad daylight, the campfires inside the camp burned fiercely, causing a great firestorm to rage for hundreds of miles around.

"What a daring Third Fire Division! They really dare to do it!"

A thunderous roar echoed from the large tent in the center of the camp.

Inside the large tent, four figures sat on stone chairs on the left and right sides.

The large stone chair in the main seat was empty; Yan Wanyun, the clan chief of Yanran, was not there.

The affairs of the main camp were entirely under the command of four elders at the ninth level of the Heavenly Vein Realm. The two elders who were rumored to have died in battle were present at the moment.

The First Elder, Yan Chixia, had crimson hair all over his body, and his heaving chest resembled a furnace, thumping with his breath.

The Second Elder, Yan Gaolie, was thin and bony, with crimson fire patterns covering his arms exposed outside his robe, and his eyes were bloodshot.

The Third Elder, Yan Gaoxiong, had a physique as strong as a fiery bear.

Fourth Elder Yan Yunxia was the only female martial artist among the four. She kept her aura restrained, dressed in a blue robe, and quietly huddled in the stone chair.

The second elder grabbed the battle report and smashed the stone table to pieces.

"I told you, any tribe that dares to gather up the remnants of the people right under Xiao Yang's nose is bound to cause trouble."

"As long as Sanhuo continues to fight, the vast land occupied by Xiaoyang will once again return to the hands of our human race."

"It seems there really is a master behind these three fires."

After the Second Elder finished speaking, he looked at the others in the tent.

"Why aren't you saying anything? Sanhuo is really doing something inspiring. Back then, we were almost driven to death by worry when dealing with Xiaoyang's invasion."

Although the reason the Three Fire Divisions did this was partly because we held off Xiaoyang in the west, it also proves that the Three Fire Divisions are capable.

"Second brother, are we not talking? You're the one doing all the talking, okay?"

The elder pulled the battle report over and said, "I'll go report to the clan leader. Everyone should behave yourselves these days. You should all understand where our danger comes from!"

Upon hearing this, the Second Elder, who had just been excited, slumped down on the stone chair, looking rather dejected.

"Damn it, if I find out who did this, I'll twist their head off."

"What if it's Mu Xiao from the Mu Yan branch?" The Fourth Elder, who had been silent until now, spoke up quietly.

The second elder was taken aback, then said resentfully, "Then I'll splatter it with blood and let it wipe it off itself!"

……

Inside an ancient tomb in a certain location in Daying.

The identity of the person buried in the tomb is long lost to history, but a cool breeze emanates from within, while a fiery aura emanates from its depths.

"Elder, has Xiaoyang launched an attack?"

A hoarse voice sounded.

The speaker was a middle-aged man. At first glance, he appeared tall and slender with sword-like eyebrows, but he was completely naked and exuded a scorching heat.

As soon as you get close, a wave of heat washes over you.

"No, news from the Three Fire Tribe. The Three Fire Tribe has won another great victory. The corpses of Xiaoyang have scattered and fled for thousands of miles around. They have also sent a tribal army to invade Xiaoyang's territory."

The elder recounted the details one by one.

When Yan Wanyun heard that the thousands of people had been split up and stayed in the Xiaoyang clan's territory, his eyes lit up.

"This method is indeed quite effective."

"You're saying this is imitating Xiao Yang?"

Yan Wanyun scoffed, "This is interesting. These ruthless tyrants actually know military strategy?"

Then he said, "Whether the appearance of the Three Fire Tribes is due to Luoshui reforming its ways or a covert operation by the Jishan Earl Tribe, it doesn't matter."

"The three fire tribes of Ji are the most important, which will also relieve the pressure on my Yanran tribe."

"It's time to meet the real mastermind behind the Three Fire Tribes."

In Yan Wanyun's eyes, the process and methods were not important; what mattered was that the Three Fire Divisions now had the ability to sweep across the vast land of Ji.

I imagine that the Earl of Jishan would have the same thoughts as him.

Boom!

As Yan Wanyun spoke, his divine sense seemed to fluctuate, and intense fiery blood energy surged from his body, instantly filling the entire cemetery.

The Grand Elder was immediately rushed out.

"Chieftain, you!"
The elder who had been thrown out got up and exclaimed in surprise.

Then they saw Yan Wanyun deep in the tomb chamber, suddenly emanating another aura that kept washing over his body.

At the same time, a tattoo suddenly appeared on Yan Wanyun's body.

This tattoo is incredibly bizarre; it depicts a creature with a blurry body and three blurry heads.

Among the three blurry heads, one head looked very much like Yan Wanyun.

At this moment, the other two heads seemed to come alive, devouring the head with Yan Wanyun's face.
