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

Chapter 173: A Proclamation Spreads from Ji; A Bunch of Horse Slaves Have Returned to the Alliance—Hilarious!

Redemption?

The thing under his feet uttered such a sentence, which surprised Shen Can.

If lives can be redeemed, what need is there for rules?
Soon, Shen Can understood that this was a rule that Yongyi had developed over the years.

If defeated, one must offer enough resources to satisfy the victor, and if the victor agrees, one can be spared.

Unfortunately, the rules of Yongyi's heartland had no effect on Shen Can.

Anyway, if we kill this guy, everything will be his.

Tell me which tribe you come from.

The giant hand gripped the pleading figure, and Shen Can's dark golden pupils stared intently at the tiny figure.

"what!"

The violent, wild aura made Chief Mu dizzy.

"Let me explain. I had no choice but to do this in order to retrieve the heritage of my human race."

"Once we reclaim the legacy of the Marquis of Yongshan, it will be time to turn the tables and destroy Xiaoyang. For the sake of humanity, our tribe is willing to bear some infamy."

Good heavens, those two sentences made Shen Can furious.

I really want to strangle this guy.

Kaka!

The sound of bones cracking echoed continuously from his clenched hands, accompanied by the screams of the Mu clan chief.

"Release me now, and we'll call it quits. Considering you've done your part in resisting Xiao Yang in the North, ah..."

Despite screaming in pain, Chief Mu remained defiant, prompting Shen Can to continuously loosen his muscles and bones.

Chief Mu screamed in agony as he felt his divine treasure shatter, his broken bones piercing his flesh, and his entire body being squeezed into jerky.

No matter how much blood and energy are mobilized, it is already beyond our power.

But there are some things he dares not admit to casually.

Boom!

Shen Can slapped the object on the ground and transformed back into human form, from which he searched the person and found the witch's bag and witch's weapon.

Then, carrying this cultivation, he headed off into the distance.

……

The battle of the Earl of Jishan in pursuit of the fleeing enemy lasted for five days and five nights, and he fought his way to the northern border of Ji.

Traces of battle can be seen everywhere on the vast wasteland.

As early as the second day of the pursuit, Xiao Yang began to scatter and flee.

No matter how the owls tried to escape, their target was always their own clan's territory.

When pursuing them, as long as you set your destination as the territory of the Xiaoyang clan, you will naturally encounter fleeing Xiaoyangs along the way and kill them.

The armies of the Jishan, Yanran, and Sanhuo tribes finally met successfully at the source of the Guimu River.

After the three tribes joined forces, the Sanhuo tribe had a combined army of 400,000, while the Yanran tribe had 500,000.

The Earl of Jishan dismissed the troops of the various vassal tribes, and even some of his own troops were taken back by the elders, leaving only 500,000 people.

On the Guimu River, warships were lined up in formation, transporting supplies back and forth.

Inside the Allied Forces' main tent.

Chief Mu lay on the ground like a dead dog.

Shen Can, Ji Shan, and Yan Wanyun stared coldly at this guy.

After taking away Chief Mu's magic pouch, Shen Can did not interrogate him, but instead deliberately left him in front of Chiefs Jishan and Yanran.

"You will all make a mistake!"

Chief Mu's vertical blood-red eyes were incredibly eerie, gleaming with a ghostly blood-red light.

"Now Yongyi is in chaos, the Xiaoyang tribe in the north has moved south, and the Huantou tribe in the south has moved north."

The martial arts legacy of the Marquis of Yongshan is related to the important matter of suppressing the alien races.

Our troops, risking infamy for the future of Yongyi, came to communicate with Xiaoyang. You have ruined everything!

"Shut up! What a blatant distortion of the truth! What kind of dog is this..."

Yan Wanyun was furious, so angry that he jumped up from his seat, wanting to kill the guy in front of him.

In contrast, Shen Can and the Earl of Jishan were completely calm, toasting each other.

"Look, Chief Yan is in a hurry again."

Although the Earl of Jishan was seriously injured, he was in a good mood.

After defeating Xiaoyang and returning to the northern border of Ji, he felt as if an invisible burden had been lifted from his shoulders.

In fact, over the past three hundred years, there have been very few human tribes living and multiplying in this area at the source of the Guimu River.

This situation has occurred many times over the past eight thousand years, but successive rulers of Jishan have all found ways to reclaim this land.

The last time it was lost, it was his father who did it.

After drinking a cup of wine, Lord Jishan came to Chief Mu, grabbed his chin, and looked at him as if he were a small animal.

"Blood Eyes, how come its beast form is so powerful?"

As a mid-stage Divine Treasure warrior, Lord Jishan occasionally suffers from the influence of beast transformation, but his body has no beast form whatsoever.

Looking at Shen Can, although he also transformed into a beast, he remained mentally clear and could change freely, appearing as if he were a human controlling the beast transformation.

The one on the ground is completely out of control, a beast in human form.

This can no longer be called a complete human being; it manifests animalistic behavior in its daily life.

"If we can't get any information out of them, let's kill them as a sacrifice to the flag."

Shen Can's calm voice rang out.

"We must seize the opportunity to invade the territory of the Xiaoyang tribe and expand our gains in time, lest the Xiaoyang make any preparations."

Upon hearing the sound, the Earl of Jishan then threw Chief Mu down.

"Then kill him."

Yan Wanyun's killing intent was palpable. "I'll kill him!"

"Alright, then let's kill the sacrificial flag tomorrow and storm into the territory of the Xiaoyang clan."

After the three allied forces joined forces, they did not immediately charge in. This was mainly because the soldiers of the Jishanbo tribe needed to rest and recuperate, and the three tribes also needed to get to know each other.

So, I decided to rest here for a day.

"How dare you!"

Chief Mu was startled. He felt the killing intent emanating from the three figures inside the tent, and he couldn't help but tremble.

“If you kill me, you will be my mortal enemy. My tribe will hide in a secluded place and be your enemy at every turn.”

Chief Mu spoke up with a threat, "You don't want to be on guard against an entire tribe day and night, do you?"

"Right."

Shen Can stood up and approached Chief Mu. "Xiao Yang found the Marquis's inheritance, and we didn't even know about it in Ji. How did you find out?"

"Of course there are ways to obtain them, our department..."

At this point, Chief Mu's words suddenly stopped.

This made Shen Can frown, and he looked at the Earl of Jishan.

Lord Jishan spoke up, "The information I have is also obtained by scouts from a camp in Xiaoyang."

Then, I repeatedly hid outside Mu Xiao's camp and observed a blood-red figure entering the camp. Now it seems that he is the one repeatedly entering Mu Xiao's camp.

At this point, the Earl of Jishan also realized what was going on.

"In that case, it's very likely that Mu Xiao himself released this information, specifically to lure out such idiots."

At this moment, Shen Can pointed to the ground and said, "In this way, Mu Xiao can pass the message to him, and naturally, he can also pass it to other tribes." As he spoke, Shen Can squatted down and looked at Chief Mu, saying, "Now that you've been captured by us, you're clearly useless in Mu Xiao's eyes."

Next, it might cooperate with other tribes. See, all that infamy you've carried has been for nothing.

After saying that, Shen Can flicked his finger, and a stream of light went straight into Chief Mu's abdomen.

With a 'poof' sound, the already shattered divine treasure exploded into a bloody hole, beyond repair now.
"Ah, my divine treasure!"

Amidst Chief Mu's screams, he was dragged away.

Inside the tent, only Shen Can and the other two remained.

Shen Can looked at Yan Wanyun: "I request that Clan Chief Yan reactivate the Three-Headed Secret Technique. I need to verify something."

Yan Wanyun had no suspicions and sat down cross-legged, his blood energy surging.

Sensing an opportunity, the three-headed tattoo suddenly lit up on Yan Wanyun's body.

This time, one of the three heads on the tattoo had completely dimmed into gray light, and when Yan Wanyun's soul was being torn apart, only one head was moving.

……

After a long while, Yan Wanyun pressed down the three-headed tattoo again.

"Mu Xiao isn't completely dead yet."

Now, Shen Can made his judgment.

Through their previous drinking and eating together at Yanchi, the Earl of Jishan also learned about the three-headed tattoo on Yan Wanyun's body.

"Since Mu Xiao is not completely dead, we should press our advantage and severely injure Xiao Yang this time, or at least send him far away."

At this moment, Shen Can continued, "As for the matter of that traitor just now, let's use it as a sacrifice for the flag tomorrow."

Mu Xiao used the inheritance of the Marquis of Yongshan to fish; this tribe couldn't be the only one. Many other tribes within Yongyi who received the news would likely be tempted to do the same.

Shen Can realized that he couldn't overestimate some of the tribes within Yongyi; they were utterly shameless and rotten to the core.

The appearance of a blood-red-eyed person is quite distinctive. Even without knowing their origins, it's still possible to find them if you put in the effort.

Of course, whether this guy is actually a clan leader remains to be proven, but Shen Can think the possibility of him being a clan leader is not high.

Since it's not a direct transaction for inheritance, the most reasonable approach at this point is to have the clan elders or the hidden divine treasure probe Xiao Yang's capabilities.

"Report! The man has confessed. He said he comes from the Xuanchanbo tribe and only begs not to sacrifice him to the flag."

At this moment, someone entered the main tent to report.

Lord Jishan paused for a moment, then immediately said, "Let's kill Jiqi instead; we might not know what he's saying."

The next day, the three allied forces lined up at the source of the Gui River and brought Chief Mu up. No matter how much he struggled and roared, he could not withstand Yan Wanyun's knife.

After the flag-raising ceremony, the three allied forces marched north.

During the march, Shen Can finally brought back a portion of the Blood Sea Guards scattered throughout Xiaoyang.

The army marched straight towards the territory of the Muyan clan.

However, the main branch of the Muyan lineage did not sit idly by and wait for the human race to attack. They had already begun migrating in two directions, east and west, heading towards dangerous places and wetlands where they could hide.

To the east lies an ancient mountain forest, while to the west are other tribes of Xiaoyang.

The army split into two groups. Yan Wanyun led the Yanran soldiers and a portion of the Sanhuo tribe's flying boats and giant crossbows westward to pursue and kill Xiaoyang.

Shen Can and the Earl of Jishan led the remaining men eastward to pursue and kill the Muyan and Qiuyin lineages.

……

Yudi, south.

Deep within a mountain range engulfed in crimson flames, black smoke billows and heat waves constantly assault the void.

Looking into the distance, the entire sky above the mountain range was distorted, with no calm spots.

The mountain range was covered with red firewood, some of which were twisted and soared into the sky, resembling a huge small mountain.

Between the red trees, one can see figures moving about, and palaces appearing and disappearing in the distance.

This is the Bi Fangbo tribe.

On this day, the three war envoys, who had been traveling non-stop, finally arrived outside Bi Fangbo's territory.

The number of Bo tribes in Yu was greater than that in Ji, and the most powerful of them was the Bi Fang Bo tribe, which occupied a vast area in the southern part of Yu.

The three warriors are Huo Ning of the Three Fires, Yan Qiyun of Yanran, and Yuan Shanyun of Jishan. All three are warriors at the ninth level of the Heavenly Vein Realm.

Huo Ning drove a bronze chariot, while the other two rode mounts with the bloodline of wild beasts.

Before the three of them even got close to the Bifangbo tribe, a flock of crimson firebirds, accompanied by a sky full of flames, swooped down from the crimson fire cloud above the tribe.

"Who goes there? Halt!"

"Trespassers will be killed on sight!"

Above the crimson firebird, a burly figure in crimson armor blocked the three of them.

For a moment, everyone passing by outside Bi Fangbo's territory stopped in their tracks and looked at Huo Ning and his two companions.

The Bi Fangbo tribe was skilled in smelting and forging weapons and armor, so tribes from nearby Luo, Ze, Yun, Qing and other places would come to purchase weapons.

In particular, some wandering knights are willing to come to Bifang to obtain suitable weapons and armor.

Huo Ning and his two companions, with their chariots and wondrous mounts, headed straight for the territory of the Bi Fangbo tribe. After being stopped, they naturally attracted the attention of passersby.

"Thistle Mountain."

"Three Fires."

"Yanran".

Seeing that they were stopped, Huo Ning, Yuan Shanyun, and Yan Qiyun raised the war envoy tokens in their hands.

“The Xiaoyang forces in Ji are powerful. A month ago, our three tribes met at Yanchi in Ji to form an alliance to jointly attack Xiaoyang.”

Yuan Shanyun, the oldest among them, with graying temples, spoke first: "However, there is a human tribe called Aoshan within Yongyi. Despite the brutality of the foreign races, they have colluded with Xiaoyang to overthrow Jidi."

After the three tribal chiefs met at Yanchi, they issued a proclamation in the name of the three tribes to all parts of Yongyi, stating that any tribe that betrays the human race should be attacked by all other tribes.

Furthermore, the Xiaoyang forces are powerful, and our three tribes are insufficient to counter them. The Xiaoyang may be poised to advance south, therefore I have come to warn all tribes to be on guard against them!

Yuan Shanyun made no attempt to conceal his words, and the figures standing around him, from different tribes and regions, all clearly heard what he said.

However, the figures who heard the words had different expressions; most of them remained indifferent, while others treated it as a joke.

Some people were stunned for a moment before realizing that it was Jidi, a place they hadn't thought of for a long time.

"If I don't beat them to a pulp when Xiaoyang marches south, I'll have wasted my life as a wandering knight."

"Jishan is really hopeless. It can't even stop Xiaoyang. It has occupied such a large territory for nothing."

“I know about the Jishan tribe. When did these three Huo and Yanran tribes suddenly appear? And they’re even having a three-tribe alliance? Do those barbarians in the north even know what etiquette is? They want to form an alliance like that!”

"Hilarious, I bet they don't even have enough ceremonial items for the alliance meeting."

"That's right, the northern lands are full of horse slaves. One Jishan tribe wasn't enough, so two more tribes popped up!"

"They even sent proclamations to all the tribes. The horse breeders of Yongyi now think they're the Marquis of Yongshan. Even if they were the Marquis of Yongshan, they'd be dead by now."

"I have heard of Yanran. It seems to be the fastest rising tribe in Ji in the last hundred years. But where did this Sanhuo come from?"

……

"What nonsense are you talking about? I think Ji is really in danger. Otherwise, why would the Jishan Marquis's tribe send the war envoy south?"

“Yes, it’s not easy for Jishan to hold out for so long. There were rumors before that Jishan had asked Luodi and the tribes of our Yudi for help.”

"Who knows if it's true or not? This is the southern part of Yu, which is tens of thousands of miles away. Even if Xiaoyang climbs here, it will take him several years."

“Xiaoyang is in Ji. I came to Bi Fangbo’s tribe in Yu to ask for weapons. Once I get the weapons, I will head south back to Yun. What does Xiaoyang’s southward journey have to do with me?”

"He can't stop Jishan, he's a good-for-nothing."

……

On the crimson firebird, Bi Yuefeng frowned.

"You've come here for help?"
