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

Chapter 278 Famous Throughout the Land!

Gu Tianfang knelt down so hard that Gu Xiang and Gu Yunlan almost cursed him on the spot.

Gu Yunlan's eyes darted around, and he knelt down with a thud, shouting, "Tian Zheng has committed heinous crimes, all committed by the main branch. Today, we have specially captured this sinner to apologize."

Upon hearing this, the ancient prime minister's expression changed drastically.

The main branch, he is the main branch.

"The ancient prime minister came especially to apologize with thorns on his back."

Fortunately, he was not unprepared. He held out a magic pouch with both hands, saying, "I wish to offer the spirit of the Heavenly Demon in exchange for the favor of the Upper Department."

"Me too!"

Gu Tianfang was taken aback. He hurriedly took out what he had prepared. In fact, he had been preparing to take out the items when he knelt down.

Unexpectedly, those two shameless people copied him!

Tianzheng, who is known as the number one chieftain of Yongyi, has been facing its darkest moment in recent years.

The tribe's ancestor, chieftain, and beast ancestor all disappeared. At first, the tribe was relatively peaceful, and everyone was waiting for the ancestor and chieftain to return.

However, as time went on, the undercurrents within the clan could no longer be suppressed.

Since Tianzheng dares to claim to be the best in Yongyi, it must have the foundation to become the best.

The entire Tianzheng tribe has more than seven million people, and directly controls eleven superior tribes.

These superior tribes are different from the vassal tribes. The rulers are all descendants of the Tianzheng tribe, which can be said to be equivalent to the outer branches of Tianzheng.

In addition to the clan leader's lineage, there are thirteen branches within the Tianzheng tribe, each with a Divine Realm warrior in charge.

Five years ago, the Tianzheng tribe was the most powerful clan, with the Tianzheng Lord, a late-stage Divine Treasure cultivator, as well as the Ancestor and the Beast Ancestor. It was a dominant force.

But things are different now. All three clan leaders from the clan chief's lineage have disappeared, and it is rumored that they all died in the northern lands.

Normally, when a clan leader dies, an ancient successor from the clan leader's lineage should assume the position of the new clan leader.

However, Gu Xiang was only at the early stage of the Divine Treasury realm and could not suppress the lineage of the other two elders who were at the middle stage of the Divine Treasury realm.

Of course, to put it bluntly, it's not that Gu Xiang is weaker. If the clan leader's lineage truly gains support, even if Gu Xiang is just a young upstart, he can still become the nominal clan leader.

The main reason is that the lineage of the Tianzheng Clan Chief has been passed down for too long. Every generation produces late-stage and peak Divine Realm warriors. This is not because they have good cultivation talent, but because they have enjoyed most of the clan's resources.

In the past, without any changes, even if the various branches were dissatisfied, they had to keep it to themselves.

Unfortunately, something unexpected happened.

Opportunities are fleeting; not seizing them would be a waste of God's good intentions.

As a result, the lineage of the First Elder and the lineage of the Third Elder simultaneously proclaimed themselves clan leaders and began to win over other branches within the clan and the directly subordinate superior tribes outside.

The Tianzheng tribe launched a fierce struggle for the position of the next clan leader.

Upon hearing the news from Bifangbo tribe, the three Tianzheng "clan leaders," knowing they were no match for Zhiyan, rushed to Bifangbo to request an audience with him.

Ordinary clansmen do not know what the previous clan leader and ancestor did in the northern lands, but they, as warriors of the Divine Treasury, know it all clearly.

The Zhiyanbo tribe has come to recruit them.

The arrival of the Tianzheng tribe chief, along with three other chiefs, startled Huoshan. He had expected some tribes to come begging for mercy, but he never imagined that Tianzheng would produce three chiefs.

On Turtle City, Volcano took out his diary jade slip and glanced at it. It contained his recorded thoughts, but none of them were for dealing with the current situation!
"What will Brother A-Tang do?"

……

Inside the Bifang clan's territory, the three Heavenly Zheng Elders knelt on the ground, holding their shamanic pouches, and remained kneeling for an hour.

The three of them dared not move.

Gu Tianfang was secretly delighted. The fact that they hadn't been defeated right away meant there was a chance for things to turn around.

The longer you kneel, the safer you are.

In the blink of an eye, three hours had passed.

The volcano, deep in thought, finally had a flash of inspiration.

"Old turtle, let's go."

Upon hearing the sound, the old black tortoise, who had been resting with its eyes closed, floated directly towards the outside of the Bifang clan's territory and stopped a hundred feet away from the three kneeling figures.

"Gu Tianfang greets the superior!"

Gu Tianfang shouted.

Gu Xiang and Gu Yunlan also quickly spoke up.

The old tortoise spoke up, "How come three clan leaders suddenly appeared from the Heavenly Beast?"

The intense pressure of the blood energy pressed down on the three of them from a distance, and also knocked down all the flying boats they had brought to the ground.

"Reporting to the higher command, this person is a descendant of the culprits who besieged your tribe. Now he dares to overstep his bounds and become the Lord of Tianzheng. We hope the higher command will punish him!"

Gu Tianfang was the first to speak, pointing at Gu Xiang.

"Your Majesty, I, Tianzheng, was also deceived. I am willing to atone with the sacred objects of my clan."

When Gu Xiang spoke, he admitted that he didn't actually want to come.

Coming here was extremely dangerous, and he had no intention of going to his death.

His father followed the Holy Envoy Clan to cause trouble for the Blazing Flame Earl Clan, but not only did he not gain any benefits, he also lost the clan's heritage.

Now that they've come knocking on his door, he knows he can't win a fight. He originally planned to lead his people to migrate away.

Unfortunately, there was no way to leave.

Gu Tianfang and Gu Yunlan were eyeing him covetously, and the four branches that had pledged allegiance to him were also urging him to come along. After all, if Zhiyan got angry, it wouldn't be them who would die; he was essentially being coerced into coming.

How could Gu Xiang not understand the reason? He had no choice. If he died here, the four branches that had pledged allegiance to him would immediately switch sides.

If he hadn't come, the four branches would probably have already betrayed him, capturing his main branch members and sacrificing them to the Blazing Flame to save their own lives.

It's utterly ridiculous that the people in the branch still hoped he could beg for Zhiyan's forgiveness.

Gu Xiang felt a pang of sadness, and even more so, he mocked himself for being unworthy of the name Tian Zheng. The seemingly powerful tribe was nothing more than a flower in the water.

Fortunately, he had made arrangements before he came. If he died here, the four major branches that had joined him would find a way to send away some of the main branch members.

"Since they are descendants of the culprit, how can they be kneeling here?"

When the old black tortoise spoke, Gu Xiang felt a chill run down his spine and almost collapsed to the ground.

"I'm willing to kill for the higher-ups!"

Gu Tianfang jumped up and summoned a witch's sword, slashing at Gu Xiang.

Perhaps because Gu Yunlan is a bit older, he is a step slower in doing things.

As Gu Yunlan made his move, an elderly mid-stage Divine Realm martial artist jumped off the flying boat that carried Gu Xiang, his weapon also aimed at Gu Xiang.

Under the attack of the three mid-stage Divine Treasure warriors, Gu Xiang had no time to react, or rather, he didn't even try to resist. He was directly pierced through the body, and part of his flesh tore off.

Blood gushed from his mouth as he stared wide-eyed at the mid-stage Divine Treasure warrior who had jumped off the flying boat.

"you……"

The old man, with a full head of silver hair, was the sixth elder of the Tianzheng tribe. He thrust the long knife in his hand into Gu Xiang's body once more.

Of the thirteen branches, branches four, six, seven, and nine pledged allegiance to the ancestral branch. Elder Gu Yunlan had branches five, eight, eleven, and thirteen pledge allegiance to him, while Elder Gu Tianfang had branches three, ten, and twelve pledge allegiance to him.

"Sixth Brother, you really know how to use your skills!"

Gu Yunlan spoke in a cold voice.

"Since the main branch has done something wrong, it should pay the price it deserves."

The Sixth Elder, Gu Yunshan, spoke coldly, "Reporting to the superior, this fiend also tried to secretly send some people away, but I have intercepted them and they are at the superior's disposal."

The old tortoise didn't even glance at them, and floated away from the Bifang tribe's territory.

The three of them were stunned for a moment, then quickly jumped onto the flying boat and followed behind.

... Tianzheng Bo tribe.

The sounds of fighting and screaming have continued for a day and have not yet ended.

The old Xuan Turtle hovered above the Tianzheng Clan's territory, while two fourth-tier warships and hundreds of smaller flying boats hovered around it, overlooking the commotion within the Tianzheng Clan's territory.

"They're really ruthless when it comes to killing their own people."

Yan Wanyun stood on the deck of a warship, looking down at the long river that converged below.

The one who made the move was a branch of the Tianzheng Bo tribe, and their target was the main branch of the Tianzheng Bo tribe.

As the main branch, each generation has had late-stage Divine Treasures and the Ancestor in charge, enjoying more than 70% of the clan's resources.

The main branch of the population accounts for approximately 40% of the total population of the Tianzheng tribe.

Besides the Blazing Flame Clan members watching the battle, three Saint Envoy Clan warriors, flying seven or eight thousand feet above the Sky Formidable Clan's territory, were also observing the fight.

This time, the clone didn't kill the three Holy Envoy warriors; if it had, there would have been no one to inform the High Priest.

At this moment, the remaining members of the main Tianzheng lineage gathered outside the ancestral temple, surrounded by members of various branch lineages from all directions.

At the beginning, there was indeed some hesitation because of the clone of the same race.

But after fighting for so long, with piles of corpses and rivers of blood, all that remained between them was murderous intent.

Besides Gu Xiang, the main branch also had five Divine Treasure warriors. However, the four major branches (4, 6, 7, and 9) that they could serve all turned against them. The five Divine Treasure warriors did not cause much of a stir and were quickly surrounded and killed by the thirteen branches.

"What are you standing there for? Kill them all!"

"The disaster of the Tianzheng clan was caused by the main branch. Now that the old clan leader is dead, these main branch warriors who enjoyed the resources should bear the due price."

Gu Tianfang stood on the flying boat, a knife scar on his shoulder, left by a Divine Treasure warrior from the main branch during their fight. If he hadn't dodged quickly, his head would have been chopped off long ago.

"kill!"

Gu Yunlan was the same.

It should have been done a long time ago.

"Our ancestors, please save us."

The remaining members of the Tianzheng main lineage knelt outside the ancestral temple, praying for the protection of their ancestors.

However, there was not a single spark of spiritual light in the sacrificial vessels inside the Tianzheng Ancestral Temple.

No spirit offerings!

……

A thick aura of blood permeated the Tianzhen clan's territory. The shouts of battle finally ceased after nightfall, but the commotion did not subside.

Approximately a thousand figures had their limbs broken and were dragged in front of the old black tortoise.

"Reporting to the higher command, it is indeed the remnants who tried to escape before; not a single one is missing."

Three divine treasures accompanied Gu Yunshan bowed in the direction of the old black tortoise.

"Who knows if you secretly sent them away?"

Gu Tianfang also arrived from afar with his people, and one of his clansmen suddenly uttered this remark.

"With the help of the superiors, each person can be examined individually, and they will know whether I have let anyone go."

Gu Yunshan quickly spoke up, then looked at Gu Tianfang, "I know better than you how to nip it in the bud. This is also to prevent future troubles for the higher-ups!"

Gu Tianfang didn't even look at him. He turned to the old black tortoise and said, "Reporting to the higher command, all the remaining rebels have been killed without exception."

Gu Yunlan was the last to arrive, and hurriedly said, "Reporting to the higher command, the remaining rebels have been eliminated."

……

At this moment, news of the scorching heatwave heading south finally spread.

The further south you go from Ji, the more people there are, especially when traveling from Bifang to Tianzheng, which is through the heart of Yongyi.

Along the way, there were many tribes and even more caravans. As the old tortoise traveled south, it saw more and more people.

In a short time, news spread rapidly that several major tribes, including Tianzheng, Bifang, Qingyang, Aoshan, Changyou, and Zhuyan, were willing to be driven by foreign races to attack the Zhiyan tribe in Jidi, only to be defeated by Zhiyan and suffer heavy casualties.

Coupled with the fact that the enormous Xuan Turtle marched south from Ji, annihilated the Bifang, and that the Tianzheng Bo tribe knelt and bowed in submission.

Caravans from all directions spread the news quickly throughout the world as they traveled.

Of course, this news was leaked by someone from the volcano.

The southward march of the scorching flames is a war of revenge, and it must have a just cause. It can't be left as a chaotic mess.

According to the message, since the Holy Envoy Clan can fly and has abandoned their human bloodline, they were directly relegated to the status of an alien race.

The news caused a stir in all directions.

Which tribe is Zhiyan Bo?
This is the first reaction many people have upon hearing the news.

Thistleland?

Isn't that a stable boy?

Some people simply didn't believe it, thinking it was a joke.

Look at the content of this message; even if it's fabricated, at least make it believable.

The combination of Tianzheng, Aoshan, Qingyang, Changyou, Zhuyan, and Bifang effectively wiped out the most powerful bo tribe in Yongyi.

Why would such a powerful group of bo tribes go to Ji to fight the horse slaves?
Did the man from Jidi take some kind of super-powerful drug?
The tribes in Luodi and Yudi, which are close to Jidi, received more news and were all astonished by the power of the Blazing Flame.

However, after moving south from Bifang, the name of the Zhiyanbo tribe became less prominent.

When this was revealed all at once, many people didn't believe it.

The six major tribes launched an attack but suffered a crushing defeat. Do you think the scorching heat of Ji is like the Yong Mountains?
Regardless of whether other places believed it or not, the markets, tribes, and warriors along the route from Bifang to Tianzheng all believed it.

The old tortoise was so big, and it could float and fly, carrying a city on its back. It was practically a moving monster. Many people knelt down and made contact when they saw it from a distance.

Seeing it with your own eyes is far more awe-inspiring than hearing about it.

Subsequently, the shouts of battle from the Tianzheng tribe raged for a day and a night, and the thick blood aura rose into the air, forming blood clouds, which terrified the people coming and going in the Tianzheng market.

Bifang is finished, Tianzheng is finished, who's next, Qingyang or Aoshan?

……

Inside the Turtle City.

One by one, the witch pouches were placed in front of the volcano; these were sent up by the various branches of the Heavenly Fiend Sect.

For example, the Great Zhang Chariot and the Xuan Shui Fen Yang Chi of the Yongshan Bo tribe in those days were also among them.

In addition, there are some materials for witchcraft arrays.

"Chieftain." Huo Fu entered the tower.

There are quite a few wizards in Turtle City, and in fact, the entire city is still in an unfinished state.

As planned, we will continue to search and improve.

Volcano handed over the magic bag containing the array materials to Huofu.

"Use it wherever you see it useful. The stronger Turtle City is, the safer we will be."

One day later.

Yan Wanyun entered the Tianzheng Clan's territory from outside; he had just returned from the Aoshan Bo tribe.

"How's Aoshan?"

"A large formation has been set up; it looks like they're going to hold out to the death."

"Finally, there's someone putting up a fight." Volcano let out a long breath and quickly relayed the message to his clone.

Since the clone knew, Shen Can naturally knew as well. He wondered if he could lure out the High Priest this time.
