Silence.
Absolute silence.
Lu An stood in the middle, and everyone stared at him with wide eyes. Huo De, who was sitting at the head of the table, didn't say anything, so Lu An naturally couldn't leave.
It had been a month since Lu An came to the underground world, and he had a certain understanding of Qi. However, the combat skill that Lu An had just displayed didn't use Qi. Instead, he used the spirit of the One Law Heavenly Technique to imitate the underground world's Qi. However, the difference was so small that there was no difference at all.
As for the Huo Family's combat skill, Lu An had indeed seen through it completely. It might sound conceited, but in Lu An's eyes, the Huo Family's combat skill wasn't that big of a deal. The depth of this combat skill was far inferior to the combat ideology that the man in the black fog had taught him, and it was also far inferior to the combat ideology that he had created himself. Lu An was at a higher level, so it wasn't difficult for him to see through a combat skill that wasn't as good as his own and grasp the key to using Qi.
However, to these people, it was a completely different scene and world. Everyone looked at Lu An. They were sure that this person had never been to the Huo Family, and no one had seen him before. It was impossible for him to have learned it in advance. In other words, he had really learned it on the spot.
This was simply … too shocking!
After a full three breaths, Huo De took a deep breath and said, "You are indeed a talent. Your talent is even more astonishing than your appearance. The younger generation will surpass us in time!"
After hearing Huo De's words, Yu Shi also let out a long breath. In fact, he was very worried that Huo De would attack directly to prevent the combat skill from being leaked and kill everyone in the Yu Family. Fortunately, Huo De didn't do that. Indeed, it was now the time for the alliance of the major families. If the Huo Family attacked at this time, they would definitely become the target of public criticism and completely destroy the alliance.
"Thank you for your praise, Senior." Lu An cupped his hands and said. He then left the center of the hall and returned to his seat.
When Lu An returned to his seat, the expressions of Yu Yan, Huo Yan, Huo Li, and the others changed completely. Yu Yan's eyes were full of admiration, Huo Yan's eyes were filled with admiration and worry, and Huo Li's eyes were full of hostility. Just now, he wanted to suppress Lu An's momentum, but he didn't expect that Lu An would steal the limelight and become the focus of the entire banquet.
Huo Li was so angry that he suddenly stood up and wanted to say something to Lu An, but he was stopped by Huo Yan, who was beside Lu An.
"Sit down!" Huo Yan shouted in a low voice.
Huo Li's body trembled as he looked at his eldest sister's trembling body. In the end, he sat down angrily!
It wasn't that Huo Yan didn't want her brother to regain his face, but in her opinion, the possibility of Huo Li beating Lu An was very small, or to put it more bluntly, impossible! Just by looking at the battle technique just now, Lu An's proficiency far surpassed Huo Li's. This person could comprehend so much just by looking at it once. How could such a talented person be weak in actual combat?
If they really fought, it would only be a disgrace!
At the same time, another thought appeared in the minds of Huo De and Huo Yan, and that was Lu An's identity. Yu Shi personally said that Lu An wasn't a member of the Yu Clan, but someone who had lost his memory. Even if he joined the Huo Clan, no one would be able to say anything. If they could rope this young man into the Huo Clan, they wouldn't have to worry about the battle technique being leaked, and they would gain a powerful force.
Thinking of this, Huo Yan, as the eldest sister, became even more proactive towards Lu An. If it was said that she was only attracted by Lu An's temperament before, then she was completely subdued by Lu An's talent and strength now. No matter what, she had to do her best to make Lu An stay in the Huo Clan. Her attitude even became somewhat flattering, which was something the Huo Clan had never seen before.
After a long time, the banquet finally ended, and everyone bid farewell to each other and prepared to leave. Huo Yan invited Lu An to walk alone, but Lu An tactfully declined and prepared to leave with the other members of the Yu Clan.
Yu Shi still had some things to discuss with Huo De, so the other members of the Yu Clan returned to their residence first. Along the way, the members of the Yu Clan kept glancing at Lu An. They had a new understanding of Lu An, and their attitudes towards him had also changed. Yu Yan, on the other hand, didn't leave Lu An's side for even a moment. She wasn't stupid and naturally sensed Huo Yan's flattery towards Lu An. During the banquet, she was very anxious, but she couldn't say anything. When the banquet ended, she immediately chatted with Lu An.
However, Lu An also maintained a certain distance from Yu Yan and spoke very politely. Soon, everyone returned to the courtyard and returned to their rooms. Lu An did the same and separated from Yu Yan early on.
Bang!
Lu An closed the door and returned to his bed to cultivate, as if nothing had happened and he hadn't attended the banquet.
Just like that, Lu An locked himself in his room for a total of four days. During these four days, he didn't come out, which disappointed many people who wanted to find him.
During these four days, Yu Yan sat by the window every day, looking at Lu An's room through the window, waiting for Lu An to come out. Huo Yan and her sisters also came to Lu An's door several times every day, waiting for Lu An to come out. The first time they came, they should have knocked on the door, but Yu Yan stopped them, saying that Lu An was cultivating in seclusion and didn't want to be disturbed. Although Huo Yan really wanted to see Lu An, she couldn't force herself to disturb him since the Second Miss of the Yu Clan said so.
During these four days, even Yu Shi came to find Lu An, but Lu An's door was still closed, and there was no movement from him. During these four days, he focused on cultivating, and his hard work paid off.
Middle stage seventh level!
Lu An's strength had successfully recovered to the middle stage of seventh level. At this rate, it wouldn't be a problem for him to fully recover to the late stage of seventh level before reaching the Dark Ghost Territory!
On the morning of the fifth day, Lu An slowly opened his eyes. Although he had been cultivating these days, he knew what had happened in the courtyard like the back of his hand. Everyone in the team had basically recovered from their injuries, and they could hurry on with their journey. There was still half a month before the alliance's meeting, and they had to arrive early.
Sure enough, Yu Shi was already standing in the courtyard, shouting to everyone, "Pack your bags and get ready to go!"
Everyone immediately returned to their rooms to pack, and Lu An did the same. He quickly packed his bags and walked out of the room with them on his back.
Yu Shi saw Lu An appear, and this was the first time he saw Lu An in four days. Lu An walked in front of Yu Shi and said, "Senior."
"How's your cultivation these days?" Yu Shi asked.
"It's okay, I have some gains," Lu An said.
Yu Shi nodded slightly and didn't say anything else. Soon, the others finished packing and gathered in the courtyard. Yu Shi led them to the Huo Family's courtyard, and sure enough, there were the same number of people as the Yu Family's team. The Huo Family's team had a total of 20 people, and one of them was equivalent to an eighth level Heavenly Master, while the others were equivalent to a seventh level Heavenly Master.
The Huo Family's team was led by the deputy patriarch, Huo Changming. There were only two Huo Family disciples in the team, Huo Yan and Huo Li. Huo Yan was also the only female in the team. When Huo Yan finally saw Lu An, she smiled and took the initiative to walk forward and say, "Young Master Lu, we meet again."
"Miss Huo," Lu An responded politely and cupped his hands.
At this time, both teams were dressed in black, and their figures were completely revealed. It had to be said that Huo Yan's figure was more voluptuous than Yu Yan's, and her curves were very attractive, which made Yu Yan very unhappy.
'I'm prettier than her!' Yu Yan thought angrily.
The others looked at Huo Yan and Yu Yan surrounding Lu An and felt very uncomfortable. One was the eldest daughter of the Huo Family, and the other was the second daughter of the Yu Family. It was the wish of all the men present to be surrounded by these two women.
Yu Zi looked at this scene and bit her lips slightly. In fact, she had thought a lot these days. Lu An was strong and talented, and his future was limitless. It was very likely that he would become a peak expert. If she could establish a good relationship with Lu An, it would not be difficult for her to become the patriarch of the Yu Family. Therefore, Yu Zi was also ready to move closer to Lu An.
Just as Yu Zi was about to take the initiative to curry favor with Lu An for the first time, several figures suddenly appeared in front of the two teams. Everyone immediately stopped talking and looked over.
The person who had arrived was none other than the patriarch of the Huo Family, Huo De.
Huo De and Yu Shi greeted each other and looked at their own teams. Huo De said loudly, "Eliminating the Dark Underworld Ghost Region will be beneficial for the future generations. Everyone must do your best to eliminate all future troubles and benefit our future generations!"
"Yes!" The Huo Family's team immediately shouted.
Huo De looked at Huo Changming and Yu Shi and said, "I'll have to trouble the two of you to ensure everyone's safety."
"Okay!" The two of them nodded and said.
Then, the two of them turned to look at the two teams behind them and said loudly, "Let's go!"
