In the central region of the Flaming Lion Continent, Lion King Hall.
There weren't many buildings in the Flaming Lion Tribe, but the Lion King Hall was the largest and the most imposing one. From the outside, the hall was in the shape of a pouncing lion. At this very moment, there were at least forty Flaming Lions gathered inside.
These Flaming Lions were the core members of the Flaming Lion Tribe. Each of them was extremely powerful, and they were awe-inspiring as they stood in the hall. And in the deepest part of the hall, there was a high and lofty platform. A Fire Lion was standing on top of it. This Fire Lion's body was over ten feet long; it was the largest Fire Lion in the entire Fire Lion Clan!
When Lu An And Yao walked into the hall and saw the countless powerful Flaming Lions, they couldn't help but feel nervous. This was someone else's territory. If the Flaming Lions were really unreasonable and suddenly attacked, neither of them would be able to escape.
Hong Yi came with the two of them. She was still in her human form, and didn't transform into her original form. After the little princess arrived, the Flaming Lions immediately roared to show their respect for the princess.
As for the two humans behind Hong Yi, the gazes of the Flaming Lions were different. Some were friendly, but some were hostile.
"Father!" Hong Yi walked to the center of the hall and said loudly to the Flaming Lion on the high platform, "They are here!"
The Flaming Lion on the high platform didn't say anything. Instead, it was sizing up the two of them. Under the Flaming Lion's eyes, the two of them felt that their strength was clearly seen through. Unfortunately, in reality, the two of them weren't seen through.
The reason was simple. Lu An had the Hidden Immortal Ring, while Yao had the most powerful Immortal Staff. The two Immortal Equipment protected them. Just by looking at them, one wouldn't be able to see any clues.
But because of this, the Lion King's gaze became even sharper. If even he couldn't see through them, it meant that these two humans definitely had treasures on them!
Lu An's brows loosened. He took a light breath and cupped his hands towards the Lion King on the high platform, "I am Lu An, and this is my wife Yao. Greetings to the Lion King!"
Hearing Lu An's neither servile nor overbearing voice, the Lion King naturally understood the human language. He said loudly, "You are Lu Ting's son?"
Lu An's gaze turned serious. He looked at the Lion King and nodded, "That's right."
"That girl almost overturned my Flaming Lion Tribe twenty years ago. I didn't expect that her son would come again twenty years later!" The Lion King looked down at Lu An and roared, "I've heard about your past. You're not only here to find out about your mother's past, but also to form an alliance with us, right?"
Lu An was shocked. He did not expect Leonis to be so direct. He did not exchange pleasantries or beat around the bush. With a serious expression, he nodded at the Lion King. "That's right!"
"That girl and my youngest daughter are like sisters. I, Fire Lion, have always valued friendship and righteousness. It's only right for me to help her!" The Lion King said loudly, "When the Kang Clan killed people, they didn't care about the relationship between my daughter and your mother. Obviously, they didn't put the Flaming Lion Tribe in their eyes! If it wasn't for my daughter's quick escape, I'm afraid she would have been silenced by them! "
Lu An's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. It seemed like the Lion King had the intention of helping him.
"However!" The Lion King changed the topic and his eyes became sharp. He said loudly, "I know better than you how strong the Hachiko clan is. If they were easy to deal with, I would have done it 18 years ago! Our Flaming Lion Tribe publicly supporting you is equivalent to declaring that we are enemies with the Hachiko clan. It's just a human life. Even if we value friendship and righteousness, we can't joke about the survival of the entire Flaming Lion Tribe! "
When the Lion King finished speaking, all the Flaming Lions in the hall roared in agreement. It was obvious that what the Lion King had said was exactly what they were thinking.
Lu An did not frown when he heard this. His expression did not change because he understood the Flaming Lion Tribe.
The Lion King was right. This kind of thing was the same for any tribe. No one would casually make a decision about the survival of a tribe.
It seemed that the idea of roping in the Flaming Lion Tribe was going to fail.
"However!" Just when Lu An was disappointed, the Lion King shouted again, "Nothing is absolute. If you can meet a few of my conditions, my Flaming Lion Tribe will publicly support you! Even when you have the strength to declare war on the Hachiko clan, we will help you! "
Lu An's body trembled when he heard this. His eyes suddenly lit up. He suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and asked the Lion King loudly, "What conditions are the Lion King talking about?"
"First, our Flaming Lion Tribe cannot be the only one in the alliance!" The Lion King shouted, "We need at least three other top tribes with the same strength as our Flaming Lion Tribe!"
Lu An was shocked when he heard this. The Flaming Lion Tribe could only join after roping in three top tribes? Indeed, the Lion King's thinking was not wrong. However, if every top tribe thought this way, they would never succeed.
However, although this matter was very difficult, it was not impossible. Lu An nodded and said, "Okay!"
"Second, when the war with the Hachiko clan really breaks out, Sengoku must also participate!" The Lion King continued to shout, "Sengoku has a high status in the hearts of many tribes. If Sengoku joins, it will be perfectly justifiable. There will also be more tribes joining willingly!"
Lu An's heart tightened and he frowned. He really could not agree to this.
Although he was the son-in-law of Sengoku and Yuan and Jun treated him as family, he had no right to speak on behalf of Sengoku.
"I agree." Suddenly, Yao spoke softly.
Lu An's body trembled and he immediately turned to look at Yao! The speed at which she agreed was too fast. Lu An was still thinking of how to deal with the Lion King when Yao had already agreed!
"Straightforward!" The Lion King shouted, "You are indeed the princess of Sengoku. Both your temperament and bearing are extraordinary!"
Yao smiled and did not speak.
"The third and final condition!" The Lion King looked at Lu An and said, "I want you to help me deal with the Sky Tiger Clan!"
Deal with the Sky Tiger Clan?
As soon as he said that, not only Lu An And Yao, but all the Fire Lions in the Lion King's Hall trembled and looked at the Lion King on the stage in disbelief!
Lu An knew very well that the Fire Lion Clan and the Sky Tiger Clan were two irreconcilable tribes. They would kill each other whenever they met. However, after so many years, the Fire Lion Clan had not been able to destroy the Sky Tiger Clan. How could he solve this problem?
"Father!" Hong Yi frowned and said unhappily, "You are making things difficult for me!"
"I admit, but there is no other way!" The Lion King looked at his daughter and shook his head, "As the Lion King, I naturally have to consider the entire Fire Lion Clan. Once a war breaks out, the Fire Lion Clan will have to mobilize all of our main forces. When that time comes, the Fire Lion Continent will be empty and there will be too many children who have not grown up yet. Who will take care of them? "
"Once the Sky Tiger Clan takes advantage of the situation and enters the Fire Lion Continent and starts a massacre, won't the Fire Lion Clan be left behind?" The Lion King shouted, "If the trouble behind us cannot be solved, I will not be able to participate in the war with peace of mind. I will not participate in the war!"
Hearing the Lion King's words, the Fire Lions in the Lion King's Hall fell silent. The Lion King was right. However, no matter what, it was impossible for Lu An to solve the Sky Tiger Clan.
Lu An's eyes were solemn. In the end, he nodded and said in a deep voice, "Alright!"
"You have guts! You have the demeanor of your mother back then! " The Lion King's eyes shone with admiration as he said loudly, "Back then, when your mother walked on the ocean, even the Sky Tiger Clan would have to take a detour if they encountered her!"
Lu An's eyes deepened as he nodded slightly. The following conversation was some boring small talk. Not long after, Hong Yi brought the two of them back to the conical building in the distance.
"Don't worry, I won't make this matter so difficult." Hong Yi sat on the chair and was obviously angry. She said to Lu An, "I will talk to my father and ask him to lower the conditions. It's clearly something that you can't solve, yet you insist on forcing others to do it. You might as well just say that you won't help! "
Lu An looked at Hong Yi. In fact, he knew that the Lion King would not change his mind. Instead of placing his hopes on Hong Yi's persuasion, it was better to think of a more direct way. Although it sounded difficult, Lu An was willing to take the first step.
"Sister Hong Yi." Lu An took a light breath and asked with a solemn look, "I want to know what caused the Fire Lion Clan and the Sky Tiger Clan to become mortal enemies?"
Yao looked at Hong Yi. She was curious as well. Although both sides were mortal enemies, this was something that Sengoku knew very well. However, there had to be a reason for this. They could not become enemies for no reason, right?
Looking at Lu An And Yao's puzzled look, Hong Yi hesitated slightly. Lu An And Yao did not ask again. Finally, after a few breaths, Hong Yi took a deep breath and looked at Lu An And Yao.
"It's okay to say it. Since you agreed to help solve this matter, you will find out sooner or later." Hong Yi frowned and sighed. "All of this started from 13,000 years ago."
