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

Chapter 379 Trade Route
The slave city is divided into a front city and a rear city, and the dragon beast appears in the rear city.

As soon as it appeared, its overwhelming aura terrified many creatures in the front city.

Some figures who were already piloting flying boats and war beasts plummeted from mid-air.

"What happened? Did the earth shake?"

"You idiot, run!"

Many shivering figures instinctively ran towards the outskirts of the city.

escape!
This is what every living being is thinking at this moment: what happens is not important, escaping is the most important thing.

……

"Bastard!"

A dazzling azure sun rushed towards the charging dragon beast king from another direction.

The one who made the move was Silver Merchant, the elder of the Holy Hou tribe who was stationed in Slave City.

"You little brat, someone has ordered me to kill you!"

When the dragon beast king saw the silver merchant trying to stop him, it raised its massive, pillar-like foreleg and kicked at Qingri.

He is not one of those slender dragons.

The blow shook the earth and mountains; the azure divine sun in the sky was shattered, and its light engulfed the surroundings.

The dragon beast king's movements didn't stop at all; it began to descend towards the ground, one kick, two kicks...

Boom boom boom!
The countless spirit seals that shot up and exploded transformed into streams of light that rushed in all directions, and the cracks that broke apart spread outwards, tearing open even more spirit seals hidden underground.

The underground cage, having been shattered by the breaking of the spiritual barrier, cracked open, and the creatures imprisoned within rushed outwards.

The ruins of the city and the mountains were still collapsing, and the spiritual energy that was revealed was overwhelming. The fleeing creatures trembled even more violently, stumbling and getting up as they ran out in all sorts of ways.

The silver merchant also revealed its enormous body, its ferocious aura sweeping across the sky, and it stretched out a large claw toward the dragon beast king.

The enormous claws, as large as mountains, gleamed with a cold light and tore through the sky.

Boom!

The dragon king swung its tail, which collided with the claws. The sharp edge of the silver merchant's claws tore five deep bloody gashes into the dragon's tail.

But then, with a snap, the silver merchant's claws broke as they were swept off by the dragon's tail.

Seeing that the spiritual barrier was mostly destroyed and more and more trapped creatures were escaping, including several fifth-tier creatures, the Dragon Beast King immediately locked its gaze on the Silver Merchant.

These escaped slaves are enough to cause chaos.

He needed to act quickly and see if he could take down the silver merchant.

Although I don't know who saved me, I will repay the kindness.

Of course, another reason is that if you don't take this guy down, it won't be easy for you to escape.

hold head high!
A dragon's roar resounded once more from the mouth of the dragon beast king, and its body glowed with witchcraft, densely interwoven into a yellowish-brown mountain that covered the entire city of slaves.

Seeing the appearance of the dragon beast king, the silver merchant naturally understood what it was about to do.

His entire body shone with a blue light, and a blazing, scorching sun rose from within him. The dharma form of the sun, belonging to the Holy Hou clan, appeared and crashed towards the direction of the Qilong Beast King.

Boom boom boom!
The Azure Sun Rising Hou Dharma Form crashed through the mountains, unleashing an energy that swept across all directions, as terrifying as a comet hitting the land.

"hold head high!"

Another dragon roar resounded, and the earthen-yellow mountains covering the city lit up. Although they were mountains, they now rippled like giant waves. The figure of the dragon beast king emerged from the giant waves and transformed into a huge figure two thousand feet tall.

The dragon opened its mouth, its fangs gleaming, and bit down on the silver merchant.

"Crack!"

The silver merchant had no time to dodge; the front half of his body was swallowed by the giant mouth of the dragon beast king, while the back half of his furry body slid down along the dragon's mouth.

Blood gushed from half of his body, and his internal organs fell off in a mass.

The dragon beast king, which had devoured most of the silver merchant's body in one gulp, shrank rapidly, and cracks appeared between the dense dragon scales on its body.

At that moment, he didn't even care about the half of the silver merchant's body that had fallen, and strode off on his four strong legs, running wildly into the distance.

The battle between the two sixth-tier behemoths lasted only a few breaths, but the resulting turmoil turned the entire slave city into ruins.

In particular, the incantations that emerged from underground crackled and popped, and the chaotic energy continued to spread in all directions.

A large number of figures fled into the distance, but streaks of light shot out from the direction of the ancient city of Tushang.

"You beast, I spared your life in a moment of weakness, but this tragedy has resulted in you. You deserve to die!"

In the void, the azure light surged like giant waves, and a giant azure beast, hundreds of feet in size, charged wildly at lightning speed toward the direction in which the dragon beast king had fled.

Then, another large, grayish-brown beast arrived and landed on the remains of the silver merchant in the ruins. It gathered the silver merchant, whose body was now only half its hindquarters, and roared angrily.

A group of figures gathered on the ruins, including a golden lion with two large heads and four golden eyes that scrutinized a figure that resembled a god of fire.

This figure, whose entire body was engulfed in crimson flames and whose skin even faintly displayed spellcasting patterns of flames, was none other than Yan Rong, a sixth-tier powerhouse of the Yanhuo Clan.

Before Yan Rong could speak, a beam of azure light struck from afar. After landing, the azure light receded and transformed into the shape of a monkey with a pair of azure wings on its back.

This is the sixth-tier Wind Forest of the Wind-Bearing Clan.

After landing, Feng Changlin glanced at the two-headed golden lion Jin Zhutian, and then at Yan Rong of the Yanhuo Clan.

Three figures, four pairs of eyes, stopped short of exchanging glances, all seeing suspicion in each other's eyes.

But Jin Zhutian had an advantage; he had two heads, one looking at Yan Rong and the other at Feng Changlin, trying to glean some clues from these two guys.

Which of you did it?
They, the Golden Lion Clan, probably didn't do it.

Yan Rong frowned. "What's the meaning of you two looking at me like that?"
"Why aren't you chasing that wretched creature!"

Then, Yan melted into a stream of light and rushed into the distance.

He wasn't sure if this was something that had happened within his own clan.

But that shouldn't be the case. As a sixth-level martial artist within the clan, he has the right to know many things.

Besides, it's just a slave city with a sixth-tier commander; they wouldn't bother to bypass him.

At this very moment, on the plaza encircling the Skyfire Sparrow, a warrior from the Xingfeng Clan, like everyone else, was watching the powerful sixth-tier creature.

The Heavenly Fire Sparrow, trapped in the Ancient Whale Net, had eyes like crimson gemstones, and the flames it had been holding in were burning ever brighter.

Soon, he saw the Xingfeng clan figure staring intently at him.

The figure from the Xingfeng Clan chanted incantations in front of the Skyfire Sparrow, and then the two great magical artifacts that had trapped the Skyfire Sparrow, the Ancient Whale Nightmare and the Ancient Whale Net, lit up.

This Xingfeng Clan member is only at the late fourth stage. Normally, it would be impossible for him to use witchcraft to control two sixth-stage witch artifacts.

However, when Shen Can took it as a clone, he transferred a part of his divine consciousness into the clone, which allowed him to barely control the two sixth-order magical artifacts.

As a sixth-tier beast king, how could the Skyfire Sparrow not understand that the moment its blood energy, which had been imprisoned by the Ancient Whale Nightmare, could circulate freely, it suddenly spread its wings.

The "Ancient Whale Net" that seemed to be trapping him was suddenly expanded to a size of a thousand feet, and the intense flames burst out of the net this time, surging out like waves.

In the instant the flames swept over him, Shen Can's clone didn't even have time to scream before turning into ashes.

With a cry, the Heavenly Firebird transformed into a small red bird the size of a palm, escaped from the Ancient Whale Net, and rushed towards the outskirts of the Tu Shang Ancient City.

The two sixth-tier magical artifacts were swept away by the flame waves and flung into the distance.

Boom!

In the suspended flying land, a huge hand reached out from the clouds and mist, grabbing at the Skyfire Sparrow.

He slammed the Skyfire Sparrow down under his palm, and with a soft "poof," a ball of crimson flame erupted beneath his giant hand.

Tens of thousands of miles away, the Heavenly Firebird flapped its wings, transforming into a streak of crimson fire and disappearing into the vast land. "Chase!"

A large brown beast transformed into its true form and charged towards the direction where the Heavenly Firebird had fled.

He was none other than Yin Shu, who was in charge of guarding the Heavenly Firebird.

……

On this day, the creatures coming and going in the ancient city of Tushang encountered a scene they hadn't seen in many years.

The sixth-tier Heavenly Fire Sparrow, which had already been caught, ran away right before everyone's eyes.

Within the slave city that sold countless slaves, the imprisoned sixth-tier beast king broke out, turning the entire slave city upside down, and even biting off half of the body of the sixth-tier holy beast warrior guarding it.

It can be said that such a thing has not happened for nearly 10,000 years.

In an instant, the long-absent guards of the ancient city of Tu Shang reappeared and began patrolling the vast territory.

A decree was also issued within the Tu Shang Tower, promising a substantial reward to anyone who could provide information about the two sixth-tier beast kings.

As news of the rewards spread, the various creatures that had been traveling through the area learned that both beast kings had fled.

"Heh heh, the ancient city of Tushang has been capturing slaves for tens of thousands of years, yet there are still times when they make mistakes."

"Even the Beast King has his moments of weakness, let alone such a powerful force that has been high above for so long. Who would have thought that slaves would also rebel?"

"Shh, haven't you figured it out yet? Look at who these two beast kings who ran away are connected to?"

"What do you mean?"

"Which clan is responsible for guarding the Skyfire Sparrow? And who is guarding the slave city that was destroyed by the Dragon Beast King?"

"Let me tell you, I happened to be in the slave city that day and I happened to hear the Dragon King shouting that someone wanted to take the life of the Holy Hou Clan."

"How do you think two sixth-tier beast kings could escape capture by Tu Shang Ancient City? Do you think all the seniors at the late sixth-tier stage are in seclusion?"

……

Normal news might take some time to spread, but this kind of news, mixed with all sorts of rumors, spreads at a speed as if accelerated by some kind of magical scripture.

As soon as this happened, people gathered together and started speculating.

Everyone took into full account the situation of the Holy Hou Clan over the years, and then matched it with the two events that had just occurred.

They are all members of the Holy Hou clan!
Tell me if what we're saying is right or wrong.

Shen Can had originally planned to give it a push, but he didn't expect that as soon as he entered the world, he would find that he didn't need to push it at all.

He has a talent for deduction, but when it comes to gossiping, everyone has their own strengths, and it's a diverse and interesting field.

Inside a certain food court, this is an ordinary food court. In the past two days, even people who go to high-end food courts have become quite fond of these ordinary food courts.

Unfortunately, upscale food courts create a distance between people who enjoy gossip and those who don't.

Like the other living beings, Shen Can sipped his wine and listened to the conversations.

To put it bluntly, his success this time was due to two main reasons. First, he used his deductive abilities to break the spiritual restriction, thus striking a fatal blow to the unsuspecting Tu Shang Ancient City. Second, the internal strife and lax management within Tu Shang Ancient City gave Shen Can an opportunity to exploit the situation.

The powerful ancient city of Tushang has been passed down for too long, resulting in significant neglect in its management.

He believed that the witchcraft and spirit-binding techniques he had inherited were incredibly profound and he had absolute confidence in them. In fact, there were no patrolling guards in such a vast territory.

Oh, now we have it.

He didn't know how much trouble this would cause the Holy Hou Clan, but at least one sixth-tier Holy Hou Clan member died.

……

Tu Shang Pagoda.

Inside the grand hall atop the towering, star-like pagoda, the silver moon emerged from within.

She is a beautiful female Hou with silver fur, and currently the only intact late-stage sixth-order Hou in the Holy Hou clan.

After Yin Yue left, four figures floated in the spacious hall.

The Tu Shang Alliance, jointly established by the five great holy clans, naturally requires each to send a powerful figure to serve as the alliance's executive elder.

As for whether this elder is the clan leader, the Grand Elder, or another protector, clan member, etc., there are no specific requirements.

"Gentlemen, even a lion will bite when cornered; this is going too far."

The Grand Elder of the Golden Lion Clan, with his four eyes gleaming with golden light, left the hall after speaking.

"What does this old man mean?"

The elder of the Fufeng clan was very dissatisfied.

The Fire-Slaying Clan's Grand Elder remained silent. "Now that the punishment has been carried out, everyone should go about their business as usual. The Chamber of Commerce still needs to operate."

His gaze swept over the people present, indicating that this sudden incident was not caused by his Fire-Slaying Clan.

In the Fire-Slaying Clan's plan, the strategy employed against the Holy Hou Clan was to slowly whittle them down, avoiding pushing them too far.

The Holy Hou tribe needs to feel that there is still hope so that they won't fight to the death.

A seventh-tier senior whose lifespan is about to end can be described as "invincible".

"As a member of the business alliance, I do not wish for such a thing to happen again."

No one responded to the Fire-Slaying Clan's Grand Elder's words, and the four figures inside the hall vanished.

……

The following day, thousands of large and small Holy Hou tribesmen gathered together, forming a cloud of blue, and rushed out of the ancient city of Tu Shang in full view of everyone.

The leader of the Holy Hou clan was none other than Silver Moon, a late-stage sixth-tier powerhouse of the Holy Hou clan.

The Skyfire Sparrow is an item up for auction, which is fast approaching. It must be captured before then, or the Alliance's prestige will be jeopardized.

This decision was made after much discussion among the executive elders of the five major races' merchant guilds.

The Holy Hou tribe must capture the two escaped beast kings.

These warriors of the Holy Hou tribe who left the ancient city of Tushang were clad in heavy armor, some standing upright and wielding long spears and halberds.

Of course, this was only the official arrangement; who knows how many people were secretly transferred out.

Southwest of Tushang Ancient City.

Shen Can lingered with his giant beast clone for a long time. The Holy Hou Clan had mobilized so many powerful individuals, supposedly to capture the two escaped beast kings. What if they were to take advantage of the situation and head to the Giant Yue Mountains?
But after waiting and waiting, they did not see any warriors from the Holy Hou Clan or Crocodile Clan heading towards the Human Alliance.

Subsequently, he arranged for the giant beast avatar to return to the Giant Mountain Range, preparing to select a group of people who had cultivated the Wild Beast Battle Body to come to Tu Shang Ancient City.

At that time, these alliance warriors will each carry fourth- and fifth-tier source stones and infiltrate the cities and towns of the Tu Shang Ancient City territory to purchase various resources.

In short, anything that can be purchased in small quantities can be secretly gathered together and brought back to the Human Alliance.

To this end, Shen Can also devised a method to prevent soul-searching and spirit restriction. If any warrior of the Human Alliance is captured and their soul is searched, they will be completely destroyed.

This will also be told to those selected in advance; if they are worried about being planted with a spirit curse, they should stay in the Alliance.

After all, the human race is too weak in the ancient city of Tushang. Once their human identity is exposed, they are easily hunted.

Once their souls are searched, the human alliance is essentially left defenseless.

This is why a group of martial artists who have cultivated the Wild Beast Battle Body are needed. Although they cannot change the appearance of various races at will like Shen Can, they can still have some ability to conceal themselves.

Since the alliance was established, the technique of Wild Beast Battle Body has spread throughout the alliance, and the younger generation who have passed the test have all practiced this technique.

After the giant beast's avatar returned to the Giant Mountain Range, it took only five months for it to bring over the first batch of several hundred alliance warriors.

They transformed into various beast forms, forming large and small teams, and entered the territory of the ancient city of Tu Shang.
