Truth
Large amounts of white ashes were drifting in the air. More than a half of the Fire Leopard Clan’s village was shrouded by these ashes.
Contained within these white ashes were the bone ashes of those offerings that had been burnt by the Gold Fire Crow’s flame, and ashes of soil and rock. Every single particle of these ashes contained a wisp of the remaining hot power, which had come from the Gold Fire Crow’s soul. While people were walking through these ashes, these particles clashed against each other and burst out large pieces of fire sparks along with popping noises.
The Fire Leopard Clan’s people were cleaning their village, dealing with the dead bodies of the enemies and their own perished clansmen. A Large group of clansmen were walking through these white ashes, which made the entire village seemed as if it was shrouded by a raging fire; the glowing red fiery light even shone upon the vast jungle around.
“Woo~woo~yo~”
A mumbling sound came from the jungle. It were Treeman and the two friends of his. The three of them walked slowly into the jungle, which had been burnt out earlier; following behind them were a large group of small spirits of trees and flowers, who were drawn near out of themselves.
Treeman and his two friends had tried very hard to shrink their bodies into the most miniscule size they were capable of; each of them were carrying a huge booze-vat with their branch-like arms; on one hand, they were gulping the booze contained in the vats happilly, on the other hand, they were busy at spreading seeds of all kinds of plants towards the burnt soil, which was still hot. All three of these old trees were slightly drunk, even their feet staggered while walking, and stepped everywhere with their gigantic bodies, which made those small spirits of trees and flowers near their feet scream out in fear.
Under the cliff, inside the half collapsed meeting room of the Fire Leopard Clan, Ji Xia was sitting near a bonfire with his legs crossed, while he was munching a large piece of grilled beast meat that was emitting a thick aroma.
Being grilled and sizzled upon the bonfire was a horned gorilla-bear, the mount belonging to a Ghost Clan’s Senior Magus. This horned gorilla-bear was a senior level beast, the poor thing was found badly wounded after the fight, but those Fire Leopard Clan’s Maguspriest did not want to spend any of their precious medicines on this beast. Thats why they decided to clean and skin it, then grill it and treat their honoured guests with it.
“Hao, since you have gained the approval of our ancestors’ souls, makes what you just did not wrong.” Ji Xia finished more than a half of the grilled beast, satisfyingly patted his own belly and said. “Although Abba had never bullied those poor little clans with our Fire Crow Clan’s power, but since they besieged us at the first place, then there’s nothing more to say about it. They all deserved to die,” continued Ji Xia while a slight beam of cold light flashed across his pupils.
Ji Hao was holding a booze-vat, drank a few mouthful of liquor that was emitting a strong scent contained in the vat, then wiped the liquor which was dripping down along the corner of his mouth.
“Haha, Abba, when I saw you flew over like rocket, I thought you were going to stop me from performing the offering-ceremony,” said Ji Hao while glancing at Ji Xia. After that he knocked the vat hard against the ground, and said with a muffled voice, “Abba, Amma said that sometimes you have been softhearted!”
Ji Xia wanted to remain the stateliness of a father, so he made a serious face and sniffed, said, “Softhearted? I was concerned about the overall situation and the clan’s benefit. You know, I, your Abba...”
“Ah, Abba, you’re so wise and brave, such a real man who has never gone soft, always seeking revenge for all kinds of invasions...” Ji Hao interrupted the long speech which was about to come out from Ji Xia, and said, “Jiang Yao had driven all these clans and attacked the Fire Leopards clan, and Jiang Xue was her helper; Abba, what do you think about this?”
Ji Xia paused for a second, slowly put his vat down, seemingly lost deep in thought.
Jiang Yao was Jiang Bo, the Master Maguspriest of the Bi Fang Clan, his daughter, and Jiang Xue was the daughter of Jiang Shu, an elder of the Bi Fang Clan. Jiang Yao was badly injured by Ji Hao and had fled away; unless she wanted to trigger a real war between the Fire Crow Clan and the Bi Fang Clan, she would never tell anybody about the fact that she had driven all these clans and attacked the Fire Leopard Clan.
However, Ji Hao had killed Jiang Xue cruelly in the battle, which might be a bit troublesome.
While Ji Xia was thinking, a caw came from the air, along with which, a gust of gale started blowing towards the ground, and a cold hoarse voice pierced into Ji Hao’s ears like steel needles.
