The sun shone brightly, its rays reflecting off the Three Fire Tribe City.

Early in the morning, the Clan City became bustling. The clan soldiers patrolling the city walls began to change shifts and head down for rest.

Some clan members started leaving the city to farm.

Buzz!

A slight tremor appeared on the ground, and within a short span, the disturbance intensified several times, causing the houses and items inside the city to tremble.

The clanging of metal began to resonate, attracting the attention of figures inside and outside the city.

What’s going on!

On the city walls, the clan soldiers preparing to rest returned to the walls, each looking towards the distance to see where the commotion was coming from.

“Be alert!”

A roar echoed within the city.

At that moment, people outside the city started running towards the inside. Inside, burly figures quickly donned armor and grabbed bows.

“To the city walls!”

“Quick, to the city walls!”

Roars echoed one after another, most figures carrying crossbows and weapons, sprinting towards the nearest city walls.

Women rapidly hid their children in the corners of houses or stuffed them into pre-dug holes in the ground.

Besides these anxious clan members, a small group of figures were startled awake and rushed to the city walls, their eyes not filled with tension but relentlessly searching around.

“It’s not good, there’s a blood cloud in the distance!”

A clan soldier shouted, pointing to the northern horizon.

At the edge of the wasteland visible to the eye, blood energy surged and swelled as if terrifying Wild Beasts were stepping forward.

The rising blood energy gathered into mist, enveloping several miles around.

Amidst the mist, human figures could be seen faintly, and ominous qi rose.

“Quick, report to the Clan Leader!”

At this moment, Huo Ning had already stepped out of the Clan Hall, heading towards the city walls.

Inside the city, figures spread out quickly, gathering the clan soldiers within the city.

…

Rumble!

At the edge of the wasteland, Cyan Simurghs flapped their wings, stirring the blood mist into a long sky spanning ten miles.

Within the blood mist, red and black armored soldiers marched in formation.

The red-armored ones, besides their red armor, were surrounded by intensely bloodthirsty evil qi.

These individuals varied in height, bearing strong bows or javelins on their backs, hammers for brain extraction specifically designed for Xiaoyang at their waists, and wielding long knives, heavy swords, and iron spears.

Their weapons appeared chaotic, but the bloodthirsty evil qi paired with their ferocious beast-pattern masks made their aura incredibly fearsome.

The black-armored ones were all over seven feet tall, wearing black-patterned heavy armor and wielding long-handled heavy blades longer than themselves.

They formed formations like mountains, their long blades like forests.

Behind the black and red armored soldiers, rows of clan soldiers escorted Xiaoyang captives.

On the war chariot ahead of the soldiers, the Sacrificial Tripod Cauldron stood steadfastly.

Shen Can and Huo Chang stood inside the chariot, gazing towards the distant Three Fire Tribe City.

Huo Chang wore a mask to conceal his face as it was agreed that this division should be led by Huo Ning.

After establishing the faction, Huo Ning was prominent, while Huo Chang still needed to focus on the development of the main division as he could not remain absent from the main tribe for long.

Hundreds of tribe members rode Seat Beasts, guarding the sides of the war chariot.

Within the blood mist, Shen Can patted the chariot’s armrest, and the Antelope Qilin Beast began to drag the chariot forward.

Rumble!

As the chariot moved forward, the armored soldiers stepped in sync, sounding like war drums and sending tremors through the ground to the Clan City ahead.

…

“Bronze War Chariot, it’s the Bronze War Chariot!”

Someone on the city wall exclaimed.

“What a terrifying aura. Why do those people have so much blood energy on them? Do they cultivate directly soaked in blood?”

“We have Black Armor Heavy Blades in our tribe too!”

“Why are there so many people!”

This commotion caused some people to gaze at Huo Chang and Shen Can on the war chariot, like they had discovered prey.

“Open the city gate!”

Before the exclamations could die down, Huo Ning spoke from the city walls and descended.

Under the gaze of the crowd, Huo Ning rode the Antelope Qilin Beast towards the war chariot, stopping several yards away.

“Huo Ning greets the Ancestral Temple Keeper!”

The voice roared like thunder, spreading in all directions.

What!

Upon hearing this, countless figures on the city wall were stunned.

Ancestral Temple Keeper!

However, some quickly understood.

Sending out clan members to gather remaining people and incorporate them into the tribe is a common method for tribal expansion.

Sending the Ancestral Temple Keeper from the main division is also a way to establish a sub-division.

It’s just that it hasn’t been done this way for a long time.

This is because Sacrificial Spirits are difficult to summon, and under Xiaoyang’s threat, Sacrificial Spirits need to guard the main division.

Sending Sacrificial Artifacts to sub-divisions would only weaken the main division’s foundation.

“Lead the way ahead!”

Huo Ning turned the Antelope Qilin Beast and headed towards the Clan City.

Rumble!

The war chariot rolled into the city, and the red-armored figures leapt onto the city walls, unceremoniously taking over the defenses.

Figures on the city walls wanted to speak, but feeling the overwhelming evil qi and cold aura, they were forced to retreat aside.

The Black Armored Race Soldiers followed behind the chariot, traversing through the Clan City to the Clan Hall.

Such commotion naturally drew together clan members within the city, gathering from all directions.

This news was shocking, yet also understandable.

Many people started guessing which tribe their own belonged to, which tribe had established this sub-division.

“I knew it, daring to gather so many people in Xiaoyang’s occupied territory definitely isn’t a small tribe. Remember the food and the repaired armor that suddenly appeared in our tribe before.”

“What does this mean? It means there’s someone backing us!”

“Let me tell you, I’ve known for a long time that we’re a sub-division gathered by some major tribe, possibly the Yanran Division!”
