I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself

There’s no useful news, still the same as usual.

No major campaigns between the tribes, but minor conflicts continue, and the Huantou Race invades south of Yongyi.

These news, have long been clichéd.

As for news from Yongyi, Shen Can is focused on the major Bo Divisions like Ao Mountain, Celestial Monster, and Cyan Sheep that obtained the Witch Artifacts from Yongshan.

Those Witch Artifacts from Lord Yongshan’s division back then, like the Kui Ox War Drum, Grand Chapter Vehicle, and Profound Water Yang Ruler, are what he is determined to get.

Unfortunately, each of these Bo Divisions has late-stage Divine Treasure masters overseeing them, and as for whether there are martial artists at the peak of Divine Treasure, Shen Can speculates that at least one of these families has such a strong master.

As for Tier Five experts, it’s impossible to say.

Perhaps there aren’t any Tier Five experts, but there might be ways to deal with Tier Five.

In contrast, the Blazing Flame Bo Division, had developed too short a time, truly lacking in Divine Treasure overseers.

Previously when Ao Mountain was labeled as colluding with Xiaoyang as an antagonist, Ao Mountain remained lively, and even falsely accused the Ji Land divisions of colluding with Xiaoyang.

The scene of righteous indignation and unanimously overthrowing villains never happened.

Instead, Yongyi traditionally ignores Ji Land, and no one really cares about Blazing Flame’s elevation to a Bo Division.

So far, even the Ao Mountain Bo Division hasn’t sought them out again.

Last time, when Shen Can sensed someone spying, he suspected it was the Ao Mountain Bo Division.

Unfortunately, since then, there hasn’t been any sign of spying.

As for why there’s no more spying, Shen Can doesn’t know; it can’t be that the spy was so scared after being noticed that they dared not come again.

The sensing witch artifacts scattered throughout the clan, though sometimes fluctuating, only pick up ordinary creatures passing through.

Casually putting the intelligence aside, Shen Can calmed himself.

The intelligence gathered from the clan’s investigations, all exposed by various tribes, did not allow him to spy on the real ranks and numbers of their true experts, even if he wanted to.

At this point, Shen Can picked up again the intelligence he had just put down.

"Ayu, bring all the intelligence previously sent over by Yongyi."

Ayu swiftly took down a pile of beast hide scrolls from the racks in the hall.

Shen Can’s divine sense encompassed these beast hide scrolls which recorded intelligence spanning several decades.

Including when he used the Marquis Fist as bait back then.

After all, back then, Muo Xiao, who wasn’t dead, wanted to stir up trouble by secretly dealing with Blazing Flame using the Marquis legacy.

At the time, he thought to give the Yongyi divisions something to keep them busy to avoid focusing on Blazing Flame Tribe.

All the intelligence had symbols, recording the chronological order.

After reading it, Shen Can waved his hand, letting Ayu put the intelligence back.

"Go tell the clan leader to ensure that the merchants and travelers outside.

Focus more on news about the Cyan Sheep, Celestial Monster, Ao Mountain, and Giant Wilderness divisions.

See if the chiefs or elders of these divisions are traveling outside.

Also, collect news related to the Marquis Fist."

Through organizing past intelligence, Shen Can discovered an unusual situation.

In those days, the Marquis Fist drew the Yongyi main division to assemble, thus starting a duel tournament.

Later, the Mo Ye Bo Division, where the youth who won the duel belonged, was directly obliterated; the Marquis Fist was lost.

During this, the elders from divisions like Celestial Monster and Ao Mountain also intervened, creating quite a stir.

All related news of disputes was being collected by the Blazing Flame Bo Division.

But now, seeing the intelligence, Shen Can suddenly noticed that the fight over the Marquis Fist abruptly ceased some thirty years after the assembly duel.

No intelligence reported that any force had obtained the Marquis Fist.

It looked as if all parties vying for the fist had somehow agreed to simultaneously retreat.

With Shen Can’s orders, the clan quickly got busy.

In just over half a year, relevant news was delivered back.

"Acan, here are the messages you wanted; I’ve read them, let me tell you directly."

Huo Shan personally came to the side hall of the Ancestral Temple.

"It’s been long since major divisions widely spread information about the Marquis Fist.

Occasionally random and muddled messages suggest it could be in Celestial Monster or Giant Wilderness.

As for the elders of various divisions you’ve asked about, our clansmen couldn’t acquire detailed information.

However, through external investigations, it was found that during this time, most elders of the major Bo Divisions of Yongyi haven’t left.

But that’s normal too, being elders, they wouldn’t leave their tribes over small matters."

What Huo Shan said made sense. Some things cannot rely on mere guessing.

No matter what happens in Yongyi, as long as they’re not focused on Blazing Flame here, it’s fine.

The current Blazing Flame needs time to develop and mature.

"How’s the dissemination of the Body Tempering Technique in vassal tribes?"

Subsequently, Shen Can inquired about the promotion of the Body Tempering Technique.

After he deduced the technique, it was passed through the tribe and sent to Dai Land to Huo Chang.

In the Blazing Flame Tribe Division, where the Five Pillars Skill exists, the tribesmen cultivate in a stable environment, so the Body Tempering Skill is mainly used to test the five elements’ attribute of tribespeople, with few cultivating it.

This was anticipated, as the scripture was meant for external distribution, with vassal tribes being the first recipients.

"It’s going well."

Huo Shan thought for a while, then said this.

"The detailed data is in the clan hall; I can bring it to you next time, or let Ayu fetch it."

"The elders and I discussed propagating the technique to the four guardian zones.

Akui, Aqi, and the others were swift, and have accumulated more than five million scattered division refugees, with numbers still steadily increasing."

"Are there so many refugees scattered north of Ji Land?"

Shen Can thought, the arrangement for guardianship hadn’t been long after all.

"Indeed, quite a lot, unsure how they emerged, but without Xiaoyang, they suddenly appeared."

Huo Shan also greatly admired these people; during the uproar about Xiaoyang, they were well hidden."

"Akui and their letters say, some minor tribes do not submit to our Blazing Flame governance.

Fortunately, after showing them some warmth, they obediently relocated from their hidden corners, reestablishing their clan lands on the guardian ruins market."

Since there are so many people in northern Ji Land, naturally, control must be established.

Continuing, Shen Can said: "Since they’ve been incorporated into Blazing Flame governance, they should be managed with the same system as vassal tribes, with a standardized language, and martial arts instruction."

"I woke, that’s the plan."

Huo Shan looked rather smug, "Though I don’t handle affairs much, the clan matters are informed to me, and after hearing so much, I’ve understood more.

From Akui and the others’ letters, the number of scattered people remaining north of Ji Land exceeds twenty million.

Even if we can gather only more than half, our Blazing Flame can still command millions."

"A million subjects—throughout the entire Yongyi, which Lord Bo of which Bo Division can command so many people?"

Huo Shan said: "These Bo Divisions would only use people as slaves."

Without saying more, Huo Shan, as clan leader for so many years, has indeed made progress, at least his thinking has become clearer.
