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

Chapter 67 Go Big, Become the Father of the Third Division
Shanghuang ethnic group land.

Both Cang Li and Yuan Fu felt drowsy rising within them, and when they finally became alert, they found themselves feeling numb and unable to muster any strength.

"not good!"

Each of them had a thought in their mind, and then they both fell down.

Despite being elders, they still eat from the same pot as everyone else.

Not only do they eat, they eat more than others, and they even eat before everyone else.

Throughout the entire Shanghuang tribe's territory, the sound of snoring filled the air; Mafeisan was a kind of witchcraft drug that puts people into a deep sleep.

It doesn't hurt or itch, it's just fatigue. Even if I feel something, at first I just think I'm tired.

Seeing the sleeping figures everywhere, Huotang was not happy.

On the contrary, it feels like this matter is getting bigger and bigger.

It's true that he obtained the cultivation method from the Upper Yellow Division, but the subsequent problems just kept coming one after another.

"Hurry up and look for anything that can confirm the identity."

Soon, they found some dominoes and bone ornaments.

"Ape Mountain, Cangniao."

After examining the items found, Huotang confirmed the identities of these people.

It can be confirmed that there are no people from the Upper Lake Department.

He recalled the rumors he had heard in the market that the Upper Lake tribe had discovered an opportunity in the mountains.

These two are for finding opportunities.

“Aqing, take the cook away from here, wake him up and interrogate him to find out their purpose for going north. Oh, and cover their faces and pretend they are from the Upper Lake tribe.”

"Amu, come with me."

Ah Qing and his companion carried the person who was fast asleep in front of the large pot and quickly headed towards the eastern valley.

Huo Tang pointed at the two elders on the ground and said, "Ah Qiang, see who wakes up and give them some more. Give these two more."

However, Huotang's words were somewhat unnecessary, as no one showed any sign of waking up until dawn.

Huoqiang held the water bag and circled around and around, but he couldn't get the water in at all.

After daybreak, Huo Qing returned.

"Chieftain, I've asked them, and they've come looking for the Upper Lake tribe."

It is said that Shanghu intercepted the armor of the Shanghuang tribe and recognized the shamanic script of the Lingyu tribe on it. The Shanghu clan chief led his people into the mountains to find the opportunity left behind by the Lingyu tribe.

Because the Shanghu tribe had not returned to their tribe for a long time, these two tribes suspected that the Shanghu tribe had obtained a great opportunity, which is why they were so eager to come into the mountains to find them.

"Go back to the tribe and tell A-Can what has happened here."

Huo Qing nodded and headed towards the clan's territory.

However, they encountered the Fire Monkey on the way back. One returned to the tribe, while the other headed to Shanghuang.

Noon the next day.

Volcano carried Shen Can across mountains and valleys without stopping, and they arrived at Shanghuangbu.

Then, the volcano lay on a nearby rock, its limbs outstretched, not wanting to move at all.

It's my first time being treated like a beast of burden, it's really tiring.

There was no other way; he was the only one in the clan who could send Ah-Can over in the fastest time.

"Ah Can, your witchcraft potion is really effective. He's been sleeping for a whole day and night and there's no sign of him waking up."

Shen Can nodded. "Clan leader, none of these are from the Upper Lake Tribe?"

"Yes, the three ministries are not as harmonious as I imagined."

As he spoke, Huotang pulled Shen Can a little further away.

“Ah Can, we previously acted as fishermen and wiped out the Shanghu tribe's soldiers. If we kill these people now, it's equivalent to offending all three major tribes at the same time.”

I have already interviewed several people to compare their skills. The Azure Bird Clan has thirteen Heavenly Vein Warriors, one of whom is at the mid-stage of the Heavenly Vein realm. The Ape Mountain Clan has eleven warriors, two of whom are at the mid-stage of the Heavenly Vein realm.

If you include the Upper Lake Division, that makes nearly forty Heavenly Vein cultivators—too many.

Huotang did not regret his actions.

Hesitation at that time would have resulted in missed opportunities.

"They also confessed that several tribes had been wiped out in the past few years, and their tribes had been burned to the ground, similar to the situation in Shanghuang."

Shanghuang was burned by the Zhiyan tribe, but if Zhiyan hadn't taken action at the time, Shanghu would probably have done the same.

Blood witches would never leave behind such an obvious flaw as a pile of dried corpses.

"These people cannot be sent back."

Huotang had already made preparations before he even took action.

Seeing Huo Tang's solemn expression, Shen Can understood Huo Tang's worries.

One Shanghu tribe member was already a cause for concern, and now there are two more. If this continues, Zhiyan is heading straight for his death.

"Chieftain, this is also why I came here. I think we can make a bigger move. Instead of killing them, let's get them to help our Blazing Flame Tribe."

Shen Can's words completely stumped Huo Tang.

Help! How can I help?
"The Shanghu tribe has its eye on the Lingyu tribe's shaman soldiers, and these two tribes followed closely behind. To put it bluntly, they are afraid that the Shanghu tribe will get too much of the Lingyu tribe's stuff."

"What are a few witch soldiers? Just give them witchcraft directly."

At this point, Shen Can asked, "Clan leader, did you inquire about the status of their respective tribes' witchcraft practices?"

"I'll have someone ask right away."

Huotang called Huomu to go and do some work.

"Ah Can, are you really going to give them witchcraft?" "It's not me, it's Ling Yu."

Shen Can didn't hide anything, "I've been thinking about this ever since the clan leader arranged for the fire monkey to go back and report."

After we eliminate this group, there will likely be a continuous stream of new recruits. Our resources are limited, and we can't sustain this for long.

Moreover, this indiscriminate killing spree is not a long-term solution. Once it becomes a habit, one day it will inevitably lead to trouble with those one shouldn't have.

"But how can we represent Lingyu?"

"The sky is high and the fish are far away, how can it not represent the sky?"

Shen Can spoke up, "Besides, we didn't lie to them. We do have members of the Zhenlingyu Clan."

Huotang immediately thought of Fu.

"This guy is too dangerous."

“My sorcery has made a small breakthrough. I am now at the same level as Wei Fu, and even stronger than him.”

Huo Tang was stunned; Ah Can was actually a genius in witchcraft.

Not long after, Huo Mu returned.

"I asked the chieftain and the temple shrine separately. Their tribe does have witchcraft, but it's not comprehensive. They only have first-level witches, and they lean towards witch-healing."

"Chieftain, the upper part of Ruolingyu has taken a liking to you. Tell me, are you tempted or not?"

"Done."

After listening to Shen Can's plan in detail, Huo Tang immediately made a decision.

Simply put, the plan is to be the father of the three.

They are the strongest tribes in the surrounding area. If they can provide resources to Zhiyan, then Zhiyan's five-year plan will surely take off.

"Let them sleep a few more days, I need to make some arrangements."

……

The tribe was imprisoned in a mountain cave.

Fu Fu lay on the ground like a dead dog. He tried several times to jump out by creating a mist, but Shen Can kicked him back each time.

"I am injured."

Fusheng lay on the ground, utterly despondent.

He thought he had a chance to escape, but unexpectedly, the minor wizard he looked down on actually became a second-tier wizard.

With a wave of his hand, water arrows rained down; even at his peak, he couldn't instantly cast witchcraft.

Not to mention him, even the third-tier wizards in the clan don't have this ability.

"Do you want to die or live?"

Although he was determined to kill Lu Fu, it wasn't the right time yet; he still needed Lu Fu's cooperation to put on a show.

"Want to live."

Lu Fu was very decisive; he understood that Shen Can had already become a second-tier wizard, and his value was gone.

If you don't behave, it won't be respectable.

"Okay, turn into a Lingyu."

"I'm still missing a Lingyu (a type of fish) under my command."

"How dare you despise the great Lingyu!"

Enraged, Fu was kicked away and crashed heavily against the rock wall.

“I despise you.”

"Pfft!" Fu spat out blood, furious.

……

In the southwest direction of the Great Swamp, inside a cave overlooking the water, the rock walls are covered with shamanic symbols, and water vapor wafts through the air.

At intervals throughout the cave, warriors dressed in armor with the pattern of the dragon fish, carrying witch knives, and wearing iron masks with the pattern of the dragon fish stood solemnly.

Inside the spacious cave was a pool where a 'Lingyu' with a human face and a fish body was swimming.

By the pond, Shen Can, dressed in simple linen clothes and wearing a bronze mask with a fish pattern, was feeding the fish in the pond.

Beside him, Volcano, also dressed in witch armor and with an iron mask covering his face, stared at the two unconscious figures in front of him.

“Spit on them to wake them up.”

Inside the pool, the slumbering slumbered as it opened its mouth, water cascading down onto the drowsy Cangli and Yuanfu.

The stinging water woke the two from their deep sleep.

"I heard you're looking for me?"

Upon waking, Yuanfu and Cangli felt a sharp pain in their heads, but upon hearing the voice, they instinctively rolled over on the ground and assumed a defensive posture.

At this moment, the two of them finally saw their surroundings clearly.

A figure with his back to them was teasing the fish swimming in the pool.

On both sides, warriors dressed as sorcerers with dragon-shaped patterns stood solemnly.

Their gazes fell upon the pool.

I immediately held my breath.

Human face, fish body!

This fish?

Lingyu!
