The Eight Ancient Continents?
Yao and Beauty Yang were astounded. Lu An was the same. He had thought of many places, but the Eight Ancient Continents had never crossed his mind.
He had no other choice. Although he had Fu Yu's protection, the Eight Ancient Continents were still a dangerous forbidden area for Lu An. What if someone was stupid enough to offend Fu Yu and attack Lu An? That would be terrible. However, Lu An didn't hasten to deny it. He sank into his thoughts. If Liu Yi said that, she must have her reasons.
"Why?" Yao didn't understand.
"First of all, the Ice and Fire Union has been exposed to the Hachiko clan and the thirty-one sects. It doesn't matter if Lu An is here or in the Eight Ancient Continents. Perhaps, he will be safer in the Eight Ancient Continents. At least, his enemies won't know his exact location." Liu Yi explained. "Second, the Eight Ancient Continents have many opportunities. They won't be less than the ones in the sea. Moreover, the sea is much safer."
Liu Yi paused for a while and then continued. "Third, I think the thirty-one sects have simply given up on the Four Great Empires. They haven't given up on the entire Eight Ancient Continents."
Lu An was startled. He asked, "What do you mean?"
"Fu Yu said that the Hachiko clan will give up on the thirty-one sects. Moreover, they have made it clear that they won't be involved in the Eight Ancient Continents. In other words, no matter what happens to the Eight Ancient Continents, the Hachiko clan won't interfere." Liu Yi said seriously. "However, Fu Yu has never said that the thirty-one sects will give up on the management of the Eight Ancient Continents. She has only said that the thirty-one sects will give up on the management of the Four Great Empires. That's all! "
Lu An's eyes became more solemn. He asked, "You mean... the thirty-one sects want to divide the Eight Ancient Continents?"
"That's right!" Liu Yi nodded, talking seriously. "After the thirty-one sects lose the control of the Four Great Empires, they lose the source of talents and materials. The thirty-one sects compete with each other. They need strong talents and materials to support them. Without talent, there is no strength. Without resources, there is no way to refine pills or forge weapons. The thirty-one sects have a huge demand for resources! "
Beauty Yang nodded her head and said, "Indeed, the Violet Town Sect's requirements for resources are outrageous, not to mention the other thirty-one sects."
"Previously, the Four Great Empires used to send talents and materials. In other words, the Four Great Empires supported the thirty-one sects. The thirty-one sects didn't need to attack the entire Eight Ancient Continents. They could lock themselves up and cultivate in peace." Liu Yi continued, "As we've lost the control, the thirty-one sects have to collect talents and materials to divide the entire Eight Ancient Continents."
"However, there are many treasured lands in the world. These treasured lands cannot be divided and divided. In this way, the 31 sects will inevitably have conflicts. If someone can take advantage of this to make a move on the sects or instigate discord, then the pressure on us will be reduced a lot." Liu Yi took a light breath and said, "Of course, these are all my guesses. I'm not sure if that's the case, but I've already sent someone to investigate."
After Liu Yi finished, Lu An and his two wives became silent. Liu Yi's words were reasonable. In order to maintain their development, the thirty-one sects had to attack the Eight Ancient Continents. However, didn't the Hachiko Clan know that their orders would lead to such consequences?
Or was this the effect the Hachiko Clan wanted?
But why was that?
Lu An couldn't figure out the Hachiko Clan's thoughts. Soon, he shook his head and stopped himself from thinking about it. Fu Yu had told him not to think too much because he couldn't figure it out if he didn't know some things. However, no matter what the Hachiko Clan's reasons were, the result was already predictable.
Lu An took a deep breath, looked at Liu Yi and said, "You mean you want me to enter the Eight Ancient Continents, recruit the hidden experts, and take the opportunity to sow discord between the sects?"
"That's right." Liu Yi nodded and said, "Although the Ice and Fire Union has sent people to the Eight Ancient Continents, they can't take action now. Otherwise, once they're found, the Ice and Fire Union will become the target of public criticism. We need a trustworthy person to do this. That is, a member of the family. "
Lu An knitted his brows and said, "Let me think."
Liu Yi didn't say anything else. It was true that her suggestion was too sudden. This wasn't a trivial matter, so they had to consider it carefully. Yao Yao and Beauty Yang were also thinking. Lu An didn't want anyone to go with him. In other words, if Lu An wanted to enter the Eight Ancient Continents, he would probably go alone.
After fifteen minutes, Lu An took a deep breath, lifted his head to look at the three women and said resolutely, "I've decided to go!"
Hearing Lu An, the three women's hearts sank. Even Liu Yi, the one who had suggested this idea, had the same feeling. She felt as if her heart was hit by a heavy hammer, which made her restless.
As early as a few years ago, Liu Yi had caused Lu An to almost lose his life in the battle of the War God Alliance because of her. Until now, she had been blaming herself for this matter, so now she was very cautious when it came to giving advice to Lu An. This time, she had suggested this idea after considering it for a long time. It was also good for Lu An. However, when she heard that Lu An wanted to go, she became restless again.
"Sister Yi is right." Lu An looked at the three women and said, "No matter what, we have to return to the Eight Ancient Continents next year. If I go there earlier, I can get more information. I will be careful. Nothing bad will happen."
Hearing Lu An, although Yao Yao and Beauty Yang were worried, they didn't say anything. They knew that they couldn't change Lu An's decision.
Looking at his two wives and Liu Yi's worried faces, Lu An relaxed. He smiled and said, "Don't worry. I've been to many dangerous places. No matter how dangerous the Eight Ancient Continents are, they won't be more dangerous than the Underground World. I'm going there to cultivate. I'm not going to risk my life. I will focus on cultivating. Everything else is secondary. "
Lu An's smile and comfort didn't make the three women less worried. Yao Yao looked at Lu An and said, "No matter what, you have to come back once every seven days. Let us know that you're all right."
Lu An was bewildered. He smiled and said, "Okay, no problem!"
Since they couldn't stop Lu An, the three women had to prepare for Lu An. Lu An had the Invisible Immortal Ring, so he wasn't afraid of exposing his aura. He just needed to cover his face to hide his identity. In other words, Lu An had better wear a veil hat, a veil, or a mask at all times. It would be safer.
Soon, the news that Lu An wanted to go to the Eight Ancient Continents spread to the other members of the family. They were worried and gathered. However, Lu An didn't want to waste time. He had to leave today.
Before Lu An left, Liu Yi gave Lu An a map with the addresses of all the branches of the Ice and Fire Union on the Eight Ancient Continents. Once Lu An was in danger, he could go there and ask for help. At the same time, she had prepared everything that Lu An needed, including pellets and money. She had prepared a lot for Lu An.
"Have you decided where to go?" Yang Mu was worried.
"Yeah." Lu An nodded and said, "I remember that there's a big desert in the Northwest of the Eight Ancient Continents. It's called the Endless Desert. I've heard rumors that there are many secrets and hidden experts in that desert. I want to go there first to see if the rumors are true. "
Hearing Lu An's answer, Yao, Beauty Yang, and Liu Yi nodded. As the Princess of Sengoku, Yao knew a lot of things. Moreover, Sengoku had gone to the Endless Desert to eliminate many evil sects. Beauty Yang used to be the Sect Master of the Purple Town Sect, so she knew about this place. Now that the Ice and Fire Union was so powerful, Liu Yi had more or less heard about the Green Mountain Desert from other people.
According to the legends, the Endless Desert used to be the biggest rainforest in the entire Eight Ancient Continents. It was lush with a lot of rain. However, later on, it became the biggest desert in the entire Eight Ancient Continents. As for the reason, no one knew. However, no one could confirm whether this legend was true or not. After all, it was just a rumor. There was no evidence or historical records.
After the family members knew where Lu An went, they felt more at ease. After Lu An listened to the instructions of everyone in the family, he opened the Immortal World Gate that led to the Endless Desert. After bidding farewell to the women, Lu An left the Ice Fire Island with the teleportation array.
Liu Yi looked at Lu An's disappearing figure. She was in low spirits. At this moment, she didn't expect anything from Lu An. She only prayed that nothing bad would happen to Lu An.
