I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself

As these words were spoken, many eyes in the hall instantly fell on the person who had spoken.

Yan Mu’s face flushed red, and he hurriedly drank a cup of wine, "What are you looking at? What’s so interesting? The Ancestral Temple Keeper personally picked on me; you didn’t get that kind of treatment, did you? Hahaha..."

"Pah!"

At the same table, one of the female clan members, Yan Yun, spat softly.

Yan Cui then raised her hand and reached for Yan Mu.

"Come, let sister see if the little sparrow caught by the Ancestral Temple Keeper has grown up. I want to check too."

With a loud bang, Yan Mu was so frightened that he jumped up from his seat and retreated swiftly.

"Sister, I was wrong."

After a while, once he resettled in his seat, Yan Mu continued, "You don’t know, do you? My mother said that the reason I could advance to Divine Treasure was because the Ancestral Temple Keeper picked on me when I was little."

Yan Mu displayed a proud demeanor, "My mother also said that back then, when she was repairing armor near the Ancestral Temple, she took me, who was still young, to play nearby. Many others were also playing outside the Ancestral Temple, and more than half of them became wizards."

"Ahem."

Listening to the direction the discussion had taken, Yan Jiang was somewhat at a loss, "Alright, Amu, stop fabricating stories about the Ancestral Temple Keeper, or I will punch you."

"Brother Ajiang, do you know why the Ancestral Temple Keeper has summoned us all back this time?"

"I don’t know."

Yan Jiang shook his head and then said, "The Ancestral Temple Keeper directly issued a decree in the name of the Ancestral Temple for the first time.

This is also the reason I have gathered everyone here. First, we haven’t met for a long time. Second, I feel there will be significant changes in the clan; next, all brothers and sisters need to seize this opportunity."

Yan Jiang spoke slowly, and he had a premonition that the Ancestral Temple Decree wouldn’t only be this once.

The Ancestral Temple Keeper personally ordered it, which likely represents the Ancestral Temple Keeper’s will enveloping the entire Blazing Flame, and even the entire Yongyi Human Race.

Over the past hundred years, through the hands of the Ancestral Temple Keeper, Blazing Flame has undergone earth-shaking changes, from Martial Dao to witchcraft, from Witch Medicine to Witch Arrays.

Many times, the Ancestral Temple Keeper didn’t act personally, but he guided the direction.

This time, the Ancestral Temple Keeper acted personally, and this opportunity must be grasped.

Seeing Yan Jiang so solemn, everyone in the hall also began to curb their playful thoughts.

As the eldest brother, Yan Jiang is not one to make baseless assertions, and they also trust Yan Jiang’s judgment.

In another grand hall within the clan land, Yan Song also gathered a group of clan members who had not seen each other for a long time for a meal.

"Brother Song, you are about to advance to the mid-stage Divine Treasure, aren’t you?"

Yan Song nodded, "I will definitely advance within two years."

...

Blazing Flame Ancestral Temple.

Ayu peeked inside through the door gap, seeing Shen Can not in cultivation, only then did he knock and enter.

"The Ancestral Temple Keeper, the Clan Leader conveyed a message saying that the external Divine Treasure martial artists who have arrived at the tribe now total one thousand four hundred and sixty-seven people, excluding those stationed in various places who have no time to come, almost all have arrived."

"Understood."

Shen Can’s voice came from inside the hall.

...

Dong dong dong!

The sound of drums rang out, spreading throughout the Blazing Flame Race Territory from the Ancestral Temple.

Initially, the sound was not very loud, but it gradually grew louder, like a giant wave surging in the vast ocean, overwhelming and spreading outward.

Inside and outside the Ancestral Land, it was the people of the Blazing Flame Bo Division who first sensed it, all lifting their heads to look towards the direction of the Ancestral Temple.

The war drum sounded!

This sound is very familiar to the people of the Blazing Flame; this war drum sound helped them break through the encirclement of the Holy Envoy Race.

Buzz!

In the direction of the Ancestral Temple, an incomparably blazing Celestial Fire suddenly soared up from the ground, illuminating the nine heavens.

A flaming Golden Crow spread its wings and flew out.

Amidst the light of the Golden Crow, there was a large black ship with a sharp point.

No, to be accurate, it was a spear complete with mottled and cracked patterns that resembled scales, flickering with golden witch runes.

At the moment when the Golden Crow rose from the Ancestral Temple, Shen Can’s figure was already standing at the prow of the spear ship.

The Kui Drum was set up on the ship’s bow, and the battle banner was also planted on the bow.

The drumbeat roared, and the battle banner flapped fiercely against the wind.

At this moment, the Divine Fire of the Golden Crow soared into the sky, truly like a Golden Crow reborn, spreading its wings and soaring high from the Blazing Flame Ancestral Temple.

The golden light was like the great sun, illuminating the Blazing Flame Race Territory.

Upon hearing the drums, the people of the Blazing Flame only felt their blood boiling.

Especially those who were previously stimulated by the battle banner, they felt the blood in their bodies boiling, as if something was about to awaken in their spines.

Rumble!

The spear-ship began to traverse the Blazing Flame Race Territory, attracting the attention of the clan people.

"It’s the Ancestral Temple Keeper!"

"Is it time for battle!"

"Who dares to invade our Blazing Flame, I’ll strike them down."

...

"Board the ship!"

The Divine Treasure martial artists reuniting with their families in the clan heard a booming voice in their minds and immediately took off into the air.

Subsequently, wherever the Golden Crow spear-ship passed, streams of Divine Treasure aura soared into the sky, with clansmen looking on as they flew directly onto the spear-ship.

One after another, streams of light flew up from the clan land. Some collided with the wandering golden fire and were knocked down, yet they still persisted and tried for a second time.

The golden flames emitted by the Golden Crow were intentionally gathered back by Shen Can, only forming a test for these clan people without causing much harm.

Upon successfully stepping on the Golden Crow spear-ship, everyone felt their entire body’s blood and energy boiling, their mind sharpened in an unprecedented way.

After traveling through the clan land and picking up the people from the Blazing Flame Headquarters Division, the Golden Crow spear-ship headed directly to the clan’s guest area.

The sound of war drums echoed, reaching the guest area first.

Dong dong dong!

The various division leaders, Elders, and Ranger Divine Treasures, who had been speculating for many days, burst out of their grand halls upon hearing the drums.

Some jumped directly to high places, tracing the direction from where the drum sounds came to see what was happening.

In the northern region of the Giant Mountain Range, the golden light illuminated the land, and the phenomenon of sunlit golden mountains appeared on the tall mountains in the distance.

The drumbeat boomed, growing increasingly loud and piercing, sinking into the heart of every Divine Treasure martial artist present.

For a moment, they felt as if the beacon-fire of the battlefield was igniting within them, involuntarily thinking of the sights of golden armor and iron horses on the battlefield.

"It’s here!"

Someone couldn’t help but exclaim.

"It’s the Golden Crow!"

"Such blazing flames, there is someone in the flames."

Among the mountains, the Golden Crow flew across the sky, its flames burning fiercely, emitting a golden splendor.

A battle banner flapped fiercely in the golden fire, bursting with immense war intent.

A figure, too blurry to see clearly, stood amidst the flames, holding the flapping battle banner; although far away, they still felt the gaze of this mighty figure fall upon them, piercing them through.

While everyone was still in shock, the Golden Crow had already arrived.

Shen Can stood upright at the prow, overlooking the figures amid the mountains below, and spoke softly.

"If not now, then when?"

The resounding words exploded in the ears of all the Divine Treasure martial artists present, awakening them from their stupor.

Where is the assembly they talked about?

Amidst their doubts and astonishment, someone began to soar into the sky, undergoing the baptism of the golden fire as they landed on the Golden Crow spear-ship.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

After boarding the ship, everyone looked towards the bow.

Is this the Blazing Flame Ancestral Temple Keeper!

The terrifying Golden Crow Treasure Ship, its aura surged, making them tremble in their hearts.

Some suddenly understood that everyone had overlooked the Ancestral Temple Keeper of the Blazing Flame Bo Division before.

The figure at the bow, even if just a back, felt as majestic as a mountain, and their aura was a solidifying force.

Some wanted to speak, but their lips only moved, suddenly feeling too inexperienced to know how to describe it.

At this moment, the Golden Crow spear-ship suddenly carried up to two thousand four hundred people.

More than two thousand Divine Treasures, pooled together, were essentially the elite martial artists of the entire Yongyi.

With so many Divine Treasures gathering together, the intersecting auras, whether from the Blazing Flame Bo Division people or external Divine Treasures, under the war intent and golden fire grilling them, invigorated their essence, energy, and spirit.

The war drum roared, the battle flag fluttered fiercely, the golden fire blazed, and the Golden Crow spear-ship cut through the sky, spanning thousands of mountains and rivers, heading directly southeast.

Within the vast mountains, a giant Profound Bird-shaped portal lit up, and the Golden Crow spear-ship, amidst the astonishment of those present, passed straight through.
