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

Chapter 162 The Three-Headed Clan, What a wonderful secret technique! I must learn it!
The Three Fire Clan Palace.

Four figures took their seats in the main hall.

Shen Can, Huo Tang, Huo Ning, and Yan Wanyun.

After the initial greetings, Shen Can said, "Chief Yan's personal visit to my humble tribe is an honor for us."

There's nothing we can do. Right now, the clan leader of the Three Fire Tribes is Huo Ning, and Huo Tang is a clan elder. Both of them are only at the third rank in strength.

Upon entering the tribe and sensing Shen Can's cultivation level, Yan Wanyun immediately realized that Shen Can was the one who was in charge of this tribe.

As for the weapons, armor, cavalry, and chariots of the Luoshui tribe, which are all of the fourth tier, would those old folks from Luoshui dare not give them to them?
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that he was bound by the three-headed tattoo and couldn't easily take action, Yan Wanyun would have liked to visit the Luoshui Marquis's tribe more often.

"I have come here to ask you for a favor."

Yan Wanyun took out a jade box from his pocket and gently placed it on the table.

"When I approached your department, I sensed an extremely strong fighting spirit, which is not something that ordinary people can possess."

At this point, Yan Wanyun paused, then quickly said, "I don't want to pry into your department's secrets; I want to use your department to suppress the abnormality in my body."

Yan Wanyun didn't try to hide anything. He knew that the more you try to hide something, the more trouble you'll cause. A fourth-tier divine treasure was already the strongest in Ji County, so there was no need to be so secretive about what he did.

If it works, great; if not, we'll think of other ways.

Yan Wanyun's visit was not unexpected for Shen Can. After all, the achievements of the Sanhuo tribe were already enough. Shouldn't it be transformed into the Sanhuo Earl tribe next?
With Xiaoyang's southward expansion, the newly rising Sanhuo tribe naturally needed to cooperate with the Jishan and Yanran tribes.

The only thing I didn't expect was that Yan Wanyun arrived so quickly, saying he was there to ask for help as soon as he arrived.

It's not about attacking Xiaoyang, but about our own situation.

Of course, Yan Wanyun's own situation carries the weight of life and death for countless tribes in Ji, and is no longer just a problem for himself.

Clearly, Yan Wanyun's direct visit indicated that he had uncovered some behind-the-scenes details of the Three Fires Department. However, he chose to verify the information directly rather than continuing his investigation in private, which could have caused unnecessary trouble.

Shen Can did not say, "Does Chief Yan trust me?"

Even though it was their first meeting, the two sides had already reached a preliminary understanding based on the previous battle reports that Yanran was resisting the Xiaoyang Mukang branch army in the western part of Ji.

Yan Wanyun's visit must have been motivated by a particular ability of the Three Fire Department.

Under Shen Can's gaze, Yan Wanyun tore off his shirt, revealing the three-headed beast pattern on his chest and back.

As the blood energy circulated, the three-headed beast pattern seemed to come alive, moving across its body and emitting an extremely eerie aura, along with a wailing sound.

"I've tried many methods, but I feel that only a vast and fierce fighting spirit can suppress it."

Yan Wanyun pondered for a moment before speaking, "The elders in my clan are not strong enough. At first, they could help me alleviate the situation, but now they are not very effective."

“Whenever the tattoo is activated, the other two blurry heads try to devour me.”

"Once my soul is devoured, I will become a puppet."

Inside the clan hall, Yan Wanyun's words rang out continuously. He explained the origin of the strange tattoo in detail, and even offered his speculations.

On the way here, he had considered how much secrecy to reveal, but after arriving and sensing the vast aura released by the Three Fire Ancestral Temple, he made his decision.

Such a powerful sacrificial spirit made him even more convinced that the Three Fire Tribe was related to the tribe that had previously taken away the remnant spirit from Xiaoyang Gufu Mountain.

If a tribe that uses captives of the owl as sacrifices, and whose sacrificial spirit possesses overwhelming killing power, cannot be trusted, then there is no human tribe in the entire Yongyi that can be trusted.

"I had a feeling that I might be the one to break the deadlock in this war between Xiaoyang and the human race, but I didn't expect the Three Fire Tribe to rise so quickly."

……

The ancestral hall was completely silent.

Yan Wanyun's words made sense. If it really was the Muyan Clan Master who was behind it all, once Yan Wanyun became a puppet, the entire human defense line against Xiaoyang would collapse.

Shen Can circled around Yan Wanyun several times, carefully examining the black three-headed tattoo.

"Although this beast has three heads, it still needs to have a master."

As he spoke, Shen Can pointed to the tattoo and asked Yan Wanyun, "Which of these two heads is the primary one, and which one is the secondary one?"

Of the three tattoos, only one shows Yan Wanyun's face; the other two are blurry, but upon closer inspection, their differences can still be discerned.

One hair is larger and appears to have messy strands on top, while the other is smaller and has a flatter top.

Yan Wanyun thought about it carefully and said, "This larger head should be the main one. It is always the one that makes a move first, and its devouring power is twice as strong as the other one."

"Chief Yan, please recount the circumstances surrounding the acquisition of the mural. Was there any writing on it?"

"Yes, it's similar to an introductory secret technique."

Then, Yan Wanyun revealed the secret method for entering the sect.

"This secret technique must have been used in conjunction with the mural. At that time, there was a mysterious light on the mural. After the mysterious light entered my body, the mural shattered into powder in an instant."

Shen Can continued to envelop Yan Wanyun's tattoo with his divine sense, observing every inch of the three-headed figure.

It has a human head and a snake's body, with three heads. Its body is covered with fine scales that outline blurry runes.

Yan Wanyun did not urge him. The temple in front of him was different from the temples he had seen before. Not all temples could attract such powerful sacrificial spirits.

After fully absorbing every detail of the tattoo on his three-headed body, Shen Can returned to the stone chair, closed his eyes, rested his arm on the armrest, and gently tapped the armrest with his fingers, appearing deep in thought.

You transform into an ordinary person and begin cultivating the Three-Headed Secret Technique. After a year of diligent practice, you finally master the technique and discover that it has the ability to accelerate the refining of blood and qi.

Three months later, you advanced to the Stone Splitting Realm, and eight months later, you advanced to the Mountain Splitting Realm.

Three years later, he advanced to the Heavenly Vein Realm with the power of the Seventy-Nine Desolations, opening up two Heavenly Veins in one fell swoop.

As you advance to the Heavenly Vein Realm, your blood energy flows through your body via the Heavenly Vein, and three-headed body tattoos begin to appear on your body. These tattoos seem to grow out of your flesh and blood and show through your skin.

As you cultivate step by step to the ninth level of the Heavenly Vein, the three-headed tattoo becomes increasingly lifelike, and whispers often appear in your ears.

You can't hear these words clearly, and they appear especially frequently during your cultivation practice, gradually affecting your cultivation.

With a resolute mind, you began to look for solutions and slowed down your cultivation pace, which indeed reduced the frequency of your murmurs.

Thirty years later, you finally cultivated to the ninth level of the Heavenly Meridian Realm. The three-headed tattoo covered your entire body, seemingly appearing on the surface, but in reality, it spread throughout your flesh and blood like veins, like a spider web wrapped around your flesh and bones.

You begin to compare it with the deduced Wild Beast Battle Body, which grows beast patterns from its bones to support its growing physical body.

Although this three-headed tattoo grew from within the body, it resembled a silkworm spinning silk, enveloping itself within it.

……

So you continued your cultivation, this time completely unleashing your potential. In the thirty-ninth year, you advanced directly from the ninth level of the Heavenly Vein Realm to the Divine Treasury Realm.

Sure enough, as you advanced to the Divine Treasure Realm, the blood net woven within your body became even denser, completely enveloping your body, much like the magical threads used to create a puppet, with you being the puppet being manipulated.

……

Inside the clan hall, Yan Wanyun put his robes back on and sat down on a stone chair, quietly waiting for Shen Can to finish his thoughts.

Shen Can's expression did indeed suggest that he was deep in thought.

After a long while, Shen Can opened his eyes and looked at Yan Wanyun again.

"Chief Yan, how did the three-headed tattoo devour your soul when it erupted?"

The reason for this question is that Shen Can discovered that when he cultivated according to the secret method mentioned by Yan Wanyun, the three-headed pattern did not devour him.

Perhaps this is because he only practiced the secret technique and did not have the mysterious light from the mural enter his body.

"Let's go to the ancestral temple." Before Yan Wanyun could say anything more, Shen Can got up and walked out of the clan hall.

……

Half an hour later.

Inside the ancestral temple.

Yan Wanyun sat down cross-legged, tore off his robes, and began to circulate his blood energy.

"All right!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Can raised his hand and slapped Yan Wanyun.

boom!
The palm strike landed on Yan Wanyun with a loud thud, causing his blood energy to surge. He immediately began to circulate his blood energy to calm the turmoil.

hum!
At that very moment, the three-headed beast markings on Yan Wanyun's body seized the opportunity, emitting a black light, as if coming to life from Yan Wanyun's body, transforming into a three-headed figure shrouded in blood mist.

"what!"

Immediately, Yan Wanyun felt his soul being pulled.

Of the three skulls, the one bearing Yan Wanyun's face was immediately torn apart by the other two.

After his soul was attacked, Yan Wanyun was also unable to fully control the blood energy around his body. Clusters of blazing blood energy turned into crimson flames that swirled around his body, as he tried to use the flames to refine the tattoo.

But the tattoo and he himself had long since become one, and refining the tattoo was also refining himself.

"Crash!"

At the same time, the sound of chains echoed within the ancestral temple, startling Ji Tianlong, the awakened spirit of the town's soldiers, who stepped out of the sacrificial cauldron.

The moment his gaze fell on Yan Wanyun, a murderous glint appeared in his eyes.

"The wicked creatures of the Three-Headed Kingdom are still poisoning the human race!"

As he spoke, Ji Tianlong raised his hand to grab Yan Wanyun. A vast battle intent surged, and the three-headed tattoos that lit up Yan Wanyun's body suddenly let out a piercing scream, and his momentum quickly collapsed.

"Senior Ji, stop!"

Shen Can, who was observing the changes in the three-headed tattoo, immediately stopped Ji Tianlong.

Ji Tianlong withdrew his raised hand, glanced at Shen Can, and said nothing more.

"what!"

Without the cleansing power of the sacrificial spirits, the three-headed tattoo became savage again.

In a daze, Yan Wanyun's body was filled with distorted, ethereal fluctuations, which were then swallowed by the other two heads.

Shen Can's divine sense descended, only to be constantly bounced back.

"Senior Ji, please suppress this three-headed figure and prevent it from re-entering your body, and also prevent it from becoming too powerful."

Boom!

On the sacrificial cauldron, Ji Tianlong's eyes flashed with blood-red light, and his battle intent condensed into a tangible river of blood as he reached out with both hands to grab Yan Wanyun.

With one hand on each side, they quickly pinned down the three-headed figure that had materialized. The surging battle intent surged over the three-headed figure, producing a piercing explosion.

Seeing that the three figures were being suppressed, Shen Can quickly scanned them with his divine sense.

Yan Wanyun sensed the three-headed figure inside and out, and his perception quickly magnified, seeing beyond the surface to its depths.

It could be clearly sensed that the dense patterns were attached to Yan Wanyun's flesh and blood, like maggots clinging to bones, becoming one with his flesh and blood.

This is similar to the previous deductions; Yan Wanyun's body was already covered by dense lines of blood.

It's hard to imagine how strong the will of this Yan clan chief must be to endure such excruciating pain every day.

Shen Can continued to grasp the blood patterns for a deeper level of perception, and the most basic patterns that constitute the three-headed tattoo appeared.

Just like the combined beast patterns that manifested on the bones of the Wild Beast Battle Body, Yan Wanyun finally found the first three-headed beast pattern among his flesh and blood.

……

Blood Pass Mountain City.

Xiaoyang Camp, Stone Pagoda Hall.

"Even external help won't help!"

Mu Xiao formed hand seals, and a three-headed, solitary, blood-red phantom appeared around its body, constantly circling it and emitting streams of blood-red light that intertwined and merged with its body.

The three heads clearly revealed three faces.

The face in the very center is Mu Xiao.

"Two bodies to my aid!"

With a low exclamation, the head of the other owl-faced figure on Blood Shadow's body lit up brightly.

……

At the same time, the ancestral temple of the Xiaoyang Muyan tribe.

The high priest, dressed in a wide black robe, suddenly had a blood-red glint in his eyes.

The sorcery around him surged, and three phantoms emerged from above his head, letting out a roar.

"swallow!"

"Let's see how long you can hold out!"

At this moment, the High Priest's expression and low murmur were exactly the same as Mu Xiao's.

……

Three fires, ancestral temple.

The three phantom heads surrounding Yan Wanyun suddenly split open their maws and bit down on the head that had the same face as Yan Wanyun.

"town!"

At that moment, the immense fighting spirit coalesced into a blood-red spear, piercing directly through both heads.

Taking advantage of the situation, Yan Wanyun steadied his mind and forcibly returned the three illusory heads to their original positions.

call!
Yan Wanyun let out a long sigh, his whole body showing extreme weariness. He looked at Ji Tianlong, the spirit priestess, and wanted to get up to pay his respects, but was stopped by Ji Tianlong.

"You have a strong will, but it's a pity you were born too late. If only you could fight alongside the Marquis..."

Ji Tianlong shook his head and sighed, "You've been cursed with the Three-Headed Kingdom's secret technique, which allows the caster to control two bodies at once."

As Ji Tianlong spoke, he appeared to be deep in thought, clearly indicating that his memories were also remnants of his instincts from his previous life.

The secret arts of the Three-Headed Kingdom are rarely seen, and it is already quite remarkable that I can remember some of them.

"Control both bodies."

Upon hearing this, Shen Can immediately felt that he had to learn this secret technique.

One person can only oversee one ancestral temple. If there were two more puppet bodies, wouldn't that triple the number, allowing one to oversee three ancestral temples?
