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

Chapter 397 You can steal it, but I can't?

Shen Can had a clear understanding of the current predicament of the Holy Hou Clan.

To put it bluntly, the Holy Hou Clan had a "have-or-have" mentality, unwilling to give up such a huge benefit as the Tu Shang Ancient City.

If they can give up most of their interests, and if the Holy Hou Clan Ancestor has the courage to drag others down with him, the other four holy clans of Tu Shang Ancient City will definitely be frightened.

It was precisely because the Holy Hou clan did not want to leave that the various factions had the opportunity to press forward step by step.

The other four holy clans pressured the Holy Hou clan, but dared not pressure them too much, lest they provoke the elderly seventh-order Holy Hou into a rage.

In Shen Can's opinion, the seventh-tier holy beast should have already gone berserk.

He's about to die, so this is fucking invincible.

If anyone bullies our family, we'll smash their door. That'll scare the old fogies of the other four great holy clans to death.

Even if you're willing to risk everything, you can bring down a seventh-tier warrior. Even if you can't kill a seventh-tier warrior, you'll still severely damage their clan.

According to the tradition of the ancient city of Tu Shang, whoever is weak gets to sit on the table and eat.

Whoever dares to be the first to suffer the blow from the Holy Hou is likely to be the first to be served at the table.

When the time comes, the four old guys will definitely be saying things like, "Brother, calm down."

Unfortunately, the Holy Hou clan's ancestor seemed to be too afraid of death, and didn't even put on a show of fighting to the death, which led to the Holy Hou clan's passive situation.

Like a frog being slowly boiled in water, the Holy Hou tribe gradually sank into a quagmire.

Perhaps, in the eyes of a seventh-tier Holy Hou, the members of the Holy Hou clan are nothing. As long as the seventh-tier Holy Hou can prolong its life and survive, rebuilding the Holy Hou clan is a very simple matter.

It might not even matter whether the Holy Hou Clan can be rebuilt.

After suppressing these thoughts, Shen Can began to consider what to do next.

The memories of the silver badge brought too much information, such as the fact that the Holy Hou clan is actually very weak now.

Within the ancient city of Tu Shang, only the young master Yin Yue, a late-stage sixth-tier cultivator, was in charge of the overall situation.

Within the clan's territory, there is also a late-stage sixth-order cultivator who has suffered severe injuries and is recuperating.

As for the early stage of the sixth rank martial artist, there were only about twenty of them in total, most of whom were stewards of the ancient city of Tu Shang.

Most of the clan's forces have been quietly transferred to the southern and northern regions to search for traces of the fallen dragon.

With the Holy Clan so empty, Shen Can felt it would be convenient to take action and wipe out the Holy Hou Clan first.

"Kill the young master of the Holy Hou clan first!"

With this thought in mind, Shen Can looked at the silver badge again.

In order to make the silver seal his clone, he had already given up his two major clones, Tongbei Luoping and Puzu Qingmubo.

The purpose is to better control the silver medal.

Shen Can spent a great deal of effort to successfully create another sixth-tier clone.

After dismantling his clones, he met with Huoshan and Huotang at the ancestral temple, and the three of them discussed things for a long time.

The day after the volcano and the fire tower left, the alliance began to arrange for fourth- and fifth-tier warriors and wizards to head towards Tu Shang Ancient City in batches.

Along with the fifth-tier array master, the Snow Fern Beast King, Lu Zhen and Yan Zeng were also among them.

They brought along a batch of fifth and sixth-order spiritual objects. If these spiritual objects are used as array materials using ancient methods, they can serve as the array base for fifth and sixth-order arrays.

The reason for sending alliance warriors into Tu Shang Ancient City was to take advantage of the chaos there and see if they could gain any benefits.

As for why things are in such a chaotic state, and just how chaotic it gets, we'll have to see what Shen Can does.

If news of a seventh-tier being killed could be spread, the Human Alliance's formation wouldn't really be a problem.

After the alliance made the arrangements, Shen Can and Yin Zhang set off and arrived at the outskirts of the ancient city of Tu Shang.

Yin Zhang took out his communication jade token and began contacting the young master of the Holy Hou clan.

The third level of the Tu Shang Pagoda is a landscape of mountains and rivers, surrounded by palaces, and adorned with the rotating sun and moon, which are decorated with spiritual objects.

Inside a silver palace, Silver Moon was meditating with her eyes closed.

However, she was restless and, although she had been sitting cross-legged for a long time, she had not actually entered a meditative state.

She was worried about the situation in the north, but being inside the Tushang Tower, she couldn't contact her father to ask about it.

Currently, under pressure from other races, the Holy Hou Clan has relinquished many key positions.

Although she is still one of the five executive elders, the important resource allocation and acquisition within the company are no longer under her control.

The tasks he was responsible for were mostly the allocation of unimportant resources in remote areas.

However, in Yin Yue's view, the shares lost now are only temporary. As long as the ancestor can recover, whoever took them will have to give them back.

As for the complaints of her vassal races, she couldn't be bothered to pay them any attention. They didn't complain when they were feasting with the Holy Hou Clan, but now that their interests were slightly harmed, they're making trouble for her.

When the patriarch returns in the future, he will definitely teach these traitors a lesson.

hum!
At this moment, Yin Yue noticed that the communication jade tablet lit up.

Upon seeing the lit jade pendant, she was startled; it was the jade pendant she used to communicate with Yin Zhang privately.

Logically speaking, Silver Badge should be in the North right now.

However, the jade pendant that lit up was not the Twin Wings Communication Jade Pendant, but rather a first-level communication jade pendant.

Such a jade plaque could not possibly connect to the ancient city of Tushang in such a remote place as the North.

This means that the silver medal has returned.

"Elder Zhang, is something the matter?"

After the jade pendant lit up, Silver Moon spoke.

"Young Master Yue, you have not returned to the clan for many days. The clan leader has ordered you to return to the clan to discuss some matters."

"Okay, I know."

As Yinyue's voice faded, the spiritual light on the jade tablet dimmed.

With Father not even in the clan, what clan meeting is there to hold? It seems Yinzhang has something important to do upon his return.

After most of the warriors in the clan were transferred away, the gates to the Holy Hou clan's territory were sealed off.

The reason for arranging a fake clan leader was to prepare for spies who might be hiding within the Holy Hou clan.

The Holy Hou clan has been around for so many years. In addition to the pure bloodline born from their own lineage, there are also some clansmen of the same bloodline who have been assimilated.

Even within the tribe, there is no guarantee that all members are loyal to the tribe and have not been controlled by other races.

Such things are all too common among the major holy races; the Holy Hou race has also planted spies among the other holy races.

Although she received the message, Yin Yue was not in a hurry. She knew that her every move was being watched by the other holy races.

Half a day later, Yin Yue left Tu Shang Tower and headed back to the territory of the Holy Hou Clan.

As soon as Yin Yue left, the other elders and deacons of the Holy Race within the Tu Shang Tower were informed by their subordinates.

Upon returning to the Holy Hou clan, Silvermoon first visited her 'fake father' before returning to her palace.

into the night.

As Silver Moon rested inside the palace, cracks slowly appeared on her body, her glossy silver fur spreading along her spine.

Silver Moon stepped out from the shed fur, leaving the fur coiled on the jade couch, shimmering with silver light.

Even with divine sense, the figure on the jade bed was lifelike, with its abdomen exhibiting the normal contraction and expansion of its abdomen during breathing.

Then, Silver Moon transformed into a black beast and disappeared into the night.

After leaving the territory of the Holy Hou Clan, Silver Moon headed northwest and entered a mountain range before spitting out a communication jade tablet to activate it.

"Silver Badge, what happened?"

“Young Master Yue, I returned from the North on the orders of the clan leader to deal with the human race's formation. Now there has been an unexpected incident, and I need to borrow the Qingyang Bone from you.”

Yin Zhang spoke up, unsure whether the Holy Hou Clan Chief and Yin Yue had been in contact during the past two years.

Since we're going to kill Silvermoon anyway, there's no problem telling the truth.

Of the three ancient artifacts inherited by the Holy Hou clan, one was left on Silver Moon for her self-defense. Compared to the Azure Sun Mirror and the Azure Sun Vessel, the Azure Sun Bone is the only true magical artifact made from the material of a near-seventh-tier Hou clan member.

"What exactly is going on? Why are humans so difficult to deal with?"

Silver Moon frowned.

"It's all the fault of those useless Tongbei tribe members who trapped the Qingyang Mirror in the human race's formation. The human race's formation has severed my connection with the Qingyang Mirror."

"Never mind, let's talk about it in detail when we meet."

"I cannot appear near the ancient city of Tushang for the time being. I am..."

Afterwards, Yin Zhang explained his location, and Yin Yue had no doubts.

These days, although it is restless, its thoughts are all on the north.

Following the directions given by Yin Zhang, Yin Yue searched the area, avoiding the caravans and martial artists traveling to and from the ancient city of Tu Shang.

The major holy races are now paying close attention to the Holy Hou race, as it is possible that the major holy races will become aware of it if it is discovered by passing creatures.

The silver moon, having circled westward in a large loop, then headed south.

Finally, in a secluded corner nestled among rolling mountains, they found the place Silver Badge had described.

Looking around, you can see streaks of light moving through the air.

It's difficult to find a place near Tushang Ancient City where no one passes by.

Silver Moon's divine sense descended and saw the hidden formation in the valley. Although it was only a fifth-order formation, it was enough to conceal its presence.

"Little Lord."

Silver Badge lured Silver Moon into the formation.

At this moment, Yin Zhang looked travel-worn and exhausted, even more disheveled than when he first met Luo Ping.

Seeing that Yin Zhang's fur was matted, its luster was dull, and its eyes were bloodshot, Yin Yue didn't ask any more questions. She opened her mouth and spat out the Qingyang Bone.

Unlike the Qingyang Gui and Qingyang Jing, the Qingyang Bone does not have a spirit.

However, this magical artifact is the only one among the three that is perfectly suited to the ancestral magical artifact of the Holy Hou Clan warriors, and can be integrated with them.

Yin Zhang opened his mouth and swallowed the Qingyang Bone.

"Young Master, what is the situation inside the city?"

"What else?"

Silver Moon sneered, "These guys wish they could stare at me to death."

“My vassals have lost their trade routes and come to see me every few days, looking like they can’t make ends meet.”

"Damn it, they all deserve to be killed!"

Yin Zhang cursed angrily. Even though Yin Zhang had become Shen Can's clone, Shen Can still retained the habits left behind by the original owner.

"It's good that they're focusing their attention on me; that way, they'll pay less attention to what's happening in the clan's territory."

"Your summoning me back to the clan this time has alarmed several old fellows in the Tu Shang Tower."

“I left a decoy in the clan hall using the technique of shedding my skin. After you leave, I will secretly watch from the side and see who will try to spy on my palace.”

"If you need my help with what you've done with the humans, contact me immediately. If we use the humans as a pawn well, it will greatly benefit our Holy Hou clan."

With that, Yinyue turned around and prepared to leave.

She can't stay outside for too long; she should go back as soon as possible.

"Young master, please be careful on your journey."

"I know."

Silver Moon didn't turn around, and casually replied.

boom!
In an instant, Silver Badge, who was half a step slower, made his move. His raised claws surged with blood energy and pierced through Silver Moon's body in one go.

The violent blood energy surged through Silver Moon's entire body, tearing apart her internal organs and bones with a terrifying aura, and then blasting open her massive skull.

Even though Silver Moon was a late-stage sixth-tier cultivator, she couldn't possibly react to such a close-range lightning attack without any warning.

The terrifying attack instantly shattered the Silver Moon, causing blood and torn flesh to explode and reverberate throughout the formation.

What appeared to be a fifth-order formation from the outside now manifested sixth-order power, firmly trapping the surging energy within the formation.

Yin Yue didn't even have the thought that Yin Zhang was a traitor before she was already facing death.

After the attack, the silver medallion was also thrown off by the approaching energy and crashed into the formation, its body dripping with blood.

The scattered streaks of light passing by in the distance were suddenly heard with a roar, and then their speed increased, rushing towards the direction of Tu Shang Ancient City in a flash.

The first rule for merchants is to avoid being a mere spectator and to run faster than other creatures when you hear any commotion.

These are survival principles forged from the blood and tears of countless merchants.

Of course, if it's a creature with the intention of making a profit without any investment, then that's another story.

……

After collecting Silver Moon's remains, Silver Chapter washed away the bloody aura from his body and headed towards the Holy Hou Clan's territory.

This time, he did not conceal his presence, but charged all the way from the west towards the territory of the Holy Hou tribe.

After entering the clan's territory, they first went to Silver Moon's bedroom.

Inside the palace, the glossy hound skin lay lifelike on the bed.

Originally, this hound skin was enough to forge a magical artifact, but Silver Moon temporarily refrained from refining it into one so that its aura would be more complete when it impersonated her.

The shed animal hide also greatly helped Silver Moon, deceiving the other Holy Race warriors from spying on her several times.

Silver Badge opened its mouth, and Shen Can jumped out, his form transforming into a Hou tribe beast.

Then, he beckoned to the Houpi on the jade couch, and the Houpi flew up and landed on him.

The animal skin that was originally shed by Yin Yue was draped over Shen Can's body, instantly transforming his aura into that of Yin Yue.

Subsequently, the two great Holy Hou beings headed one after the other into the depths of their clan territory, towards the location of the late-stage sixth-tier Holy Hou who was in seclusion recuperating from his injuries.

In order to find the whereabouts of the seventh-tier dragon clan for the ancestor, another injured sixth-tier late-stage cultivator also accompanied the Holy Hou clan lord to the northern lands.

This person didn't go because their injuries were too severe.

As for the false Holy Hou clan leader within the clan, he is a sixth-order clansman who cannot move.

Once it is moved, the might of the Holy Hou clan lord will be broken.

Simply put, it's for people to see, not for people to touch.

With the power of the clan leader, it is enough for him to lie there so that the clansmen can see him; whether he moves or not is not important.

……

The heavily injured late-stage sixth-order Saint Hou, though sensing the approach of its kin, was attacked by two attacks before it could even speak.

Shen Can sat in meditation for eternity, causing a tremor in his divine sea.

Silver Badge raised its claws, ready to smash the skull.

With a divine sense attack taking the lead, and under the "Eternal Oblivion" technique, the heavily injured late-stage sixth-order Saint Hou warrior fell asleep immediately.

It's true that they fell asleep immediately, just like the creatures that were attacked before.

But this is the Holy Hou Clan, and there should be a spiritual restriction in the Holy Hou Clan's divine sea.

This time, Shen Can was unable to open a door to the spiritual barrier within his divine sea.

No, this late-stage sixth-order divine sea doesn't have any spiritual restrictions.

With a loud bang, Shen Can swayed his body and knocked Yin Zhang away.

The silver cheque's claws missed their mark and landed on the gold and stone paving to the side, creating a loud boom that knocked Shen Can and the unconscious sixth-stage Saint Hou Clan member off the ground.

Fortunately, it wasn't a big problem. Shen Can quickly cast out array bases, covering the area.
