Looking at the Southern Cloud Emperor's sincere greeting, Lu An was stunned for a moment. He quickly stood up and helped Wang Yan up.
"Senior, this junior is unable to accept such a great greeting." Lu An quickly said.
The Southern Cloud Emperor was overjoyed when he was helped up, "Young Hero Lu agreed?"
"I'm sorry, I can't give you an answer right now." Lu An took a deep breath and said seriously, "This is no small matter. To tell you the truth, I have urgent matters of my own as well. If I join the war, it will definitely drag down the progress of my cultivation, and it's the same for pill refinement. If I join the war, my family will definitely join as well. I have to discuss this matter with my family before I can make a decision. "
Hearing Lu An's words, Wang Yan was clearly disappointed. If they didn't discuss it on the spot, the chances of success would be very low. If Lu An didn't help, the Southern Cloud Empire would lack a huge amount of support.
However, Lu An had to make the decision himself. He couldn't force Lu An, nor could he force him.
"Since that's the case, I hope Young Hero Lu can give me an answer as soon as possible!" The Southern Cloud Emperor could only say, "The sooner you help, the more power the Southern Cloud Empire can accumulate."
"Junior understands." Lu An nodded.
After exchanging a few more words, Lu An left with the two women. However, during the entire conversation, Princess Yan Yi didn't say a single word. She didn't give Lu An any pressure.
After Lu An left the palace, he directly brought Yao back to the Immortal Island. He asked Liu Yi to inform everyone in the family to come to the Immortal Island for a meeting. Liu Yi's actions were very fast. Within a moment, all the women in the family had gathered at the Immortal Island. Seeing Lu An's slightly serious expression, the women didn't play around. They knew what Lu An wanted to say.
"Where's Fu Yu?" Liu Yi asked Lu An, "Did you inform her?"
"En." Lu An nodded and said, "She might not have the time to come here immediately. Let's discuss it first."
Liu Yi nodded and recounted her conversation with the Southern Cloud Emperor. The other women listened to Liu Yi's narration and their expressions gradually turned grave. They also realized the seriousness of this matter.
The world was in chaos. This was no joke.
After Liu Yi finished speaking, Lu An said to the other women, "I can't make up my mind, and I don't have any good ideas. Does anyone have any suggestions?"
The six women fell into silence. They were all thinking about what to do. For a moment, the atmosphere became quiet. However, the atmosphere did not last long before Beauty Yang spoke.
"I don't think we should care." Beauty Yang looked at Lu An and said seriously, "This must be the idea of the Hachiko clan. Otherwise, the 15 sects and 16 clans would not have the guts to make such a decision. Since the Hachiko clan has made such a decision, they must have their own goals and intentions. If we really help the Southern Cloud Empire stabilize the situation, we will be standing on the opposite side of the Hachiko clan. At that time, our enemy won't just be the Jiang and Chu clans, but the entire Hachiko clan. "
Hearing Beauty Yang's words, the other women's bodies trembled. Beauty Yang was right. They did not think of this. The Hachiko clan wanted the world to be in chaos. If they forcefully stabilized the situation, wouldn't they really offend the entire Hachiko clan?
Lu An looked at Beauty Yang and asked, "Your suggestion is …"
"Don't care and don't ask. Just hide in the dark and cultivate." Beauty Yang said seriously, "Master has many things to do. For example, roping in other top clans, collecting dragon bones, and collecting Red Moon Stones. Creating chaos is definitely the decision of the Hachiko clan. If master forcefully acts, even the Fu Clan might not be able to protect everyone. "
"…"
Lu An frowned and lowered his head to think. In fact, he felt that Beauty Yang was right.
Considering this, Lu An definitely should not help the Southern Cloud Empire. Lu An was not a saint and never considered himself to be a hero. Protecting the people around him was his top priority. Forcefully acting would only cause the clan to be in danger. It would also give Fu Yu immense pressure. This was definitely not something he could do.
Lu An took a deep breath and said, "I will go and find the Southern Cloud Emperor to clarify things."
"No rush." Beauty Yang shook her head and said, "Let's wait for Fu Yu to arrive first. She is the young mistress of the Fu Clan. She definitely knows more than us. The most important thing is to listen to her opinion."
Just as Beauty Yang finished speaking, a blue teleportation array suddenly appeared on the grass. Following which, a beautiful figure walked out. Who else could it be but Fu Yu?
When Fu Yu appeared, Lu An immediately stood up to welcome her. The other women also stood up.
"You're here!" Lu An walked in front of Fu Yu and said, "I have something to discuss with you."
Fu Yu nodded her head slightly. She walked in front of the other women and sat down with Lu An. After everyone sat down, Lu An told Fu Yu about his meeting with the Southern Cloud Emperor.
Fu Yu was naturally not surprised by this news. She only looked at Lu An and said, "I didn't expect you to get the news so quickly."
"What exactly is going on?" Lu An frowned and asked, "Why did the Hachiko clan suddenly cut off all connections between the 15 sects and 16 clans and the 4 empires?"
"This matter is very complicated. It definitely isn't as simple as it seems. Even the Hachiko clan doesn't know the real reason. Therefore, there is no need for you to guess." Fu Yu said softly, "I can only tell you that what you know is only the tip of the iceberg. There is something even bigger hidden behind it."
"…"
Everyone was stunned. Causing chaos in the world was only the tip of the iceberg? Then what was it?
"You don't have to care about other things. The Hachiko clan will arrange everything. You just have to survive the chaos." Fu Yu continued, "The Promise of Ten Years will not be delayed because of this matter. Everyone should cultivate more."
Hearing this, the girls' hearts shook and they couldn't help but lower their heads. Their strength was indeed much weaker than Fu Yu. They were also not as hardworking as Lu An.
"So, you're suggesting that we hide and cultivate to protect ourselves?" Lu An asked.
"That might not be the case." Fu Yu looked at Lu An and said, "You won't be able to protect the Southern Cloud Empire. However, the chaos in the world is also a huge opportunity. The Southern Cloud Empire wants you to help them recruit experts. Why can't you do it yourself? Attracting more experts would be very beneficial for the Promise of Ten Years. "
Lu An went into deep thought. After a few breaths of time, he said, "Since that is the case, I will focus on cultivation. Recruiting experts is secondary. Purple Lake City cannot be lost. We just have to protect it. "
"Purple Lake City can be lost." Beauty Yang suddenly said.
The moment she said that, everyone was shocked. They quickly turned to look at Beauty Yang.
Lu An was just as shocked. He knew how much effort Yang Meiren had put into Purple Lake City. How could they just give up on such a marvelous and shocking city just like that?
However, there was no trace of reluctance in Beauty Yang's eyes. She said calmly, "Back then, I built Purple Lake City because I didn't know what to do. Secondly, I wanted to use Purple Lake City to attract talents. I wanted to build my own force to take revenge. Now, I know what I should do. I also have a clan. Purple Lake City is just a thing of the past to me. It's time to forget about it. "
Yang Mu looked at her mother in shock. Her feelings for Purple Lake City were not as deep as her mother's. Moreover, she had not returned to be the City Lord for a long time. Since her mother said so, she naturally would not have any objections.
"You guys can slowly discuss the matters regarding Purple Lake City." Fu Yu suddenly stood up. She looked at everyone and said, "The Hachiko clan is also very busy now. I will come less and less. You guys have to be careful."
Lu An knew that Fu Yu was about to leave. He immediately stood up and sent her to the teleportation array. However, just as Fu Yu opened the Gate of Heavenly Water and was about to enter, Lu An suddenly thought of something. He asked, "Now that the world is in chaos, can the other top clans take the opportunity to enter the Eight Ancient Continents?"
"No." Fu Yu said, "Of course, as long as you don't cause too much trouble, it's not impossible to attract the Hachiko clan's attention."
Lu An's eyes narrowed. He said, "Understood."
Fu Yu entered the Gate of Heavenly Water and disappeared from this world. After the Gate of Heavenly Water closed, Lu An returned to his seat. He continued to dress with the six girls.
With the main direction of the plan, the next step was much simpler. After Beauty Yang took the initiative to give up Purple Lake City, Lu An suggested that all the girls would live on the Immortal Island from today onwards. This way, everyone's safety could be guaranteed. Naturally, they were very willing to live on the Immortal Island. This was something that they could not ask for more.
However, after these discussions, Lu An still had one more thing to do. That was to go to the Southern Cloud Imperial Palace and tell the Southern Cloud Emperor of his decision. No matter what, this was something that was hard to say.
