Everyone's body shook when they heard this, and they all nodded. This was a huge stone that had been pressing down on everyone's hearts. Compared to the so-called Fight for the World and the Promise of Ten Years, there was still a huge difference in difficulty.
"There's no need to think about the future now. We still have to focus on what's in front of us." Liu Yi looked at the slightly depressing atmosphere and relaxed her tone. She said, "Twenty strongholds actually need twenty absolutely trustworthy people to manage them. Some of you also need to be responsible for them. Of course, this will also depend on the competition between Ice Island and Fire Island, just like before."
As she spoke, Liu Yi looked at Yang Mu and Liu Lan. The two nodded and said, "Understood."
Next, Liu Yi assigned the twenty islands to Yang Mu and Liu Lan according to the West and the East respectively. She said, "Now, you have to choose suitable people and have them take over the task within seven days. Just familiarizing yourself with the surroundings will take at least half a month, so as to avoid being in a mess next year."
"Okay," the two women answered again.
After Liu Yi finished speaking, everyone discussed for a while more before disbanding. They returned to their positions and nervously prepared. There was no doubt that from next year onwards, everyone would be separated into different parts of the world. They would no longer be like the Ice Fire Alliance, where they could meet whenever they wanted on three islands. At that time, it would be very difficult to meet each other, including their family members.
After most people left, only Lu An, Yao, and Yang Meiren were left in the Conference Hall. Liu Yi assigned tasks to everyone, except for Lu An and the other two, who had nothing to do. But on the other hand, Lu An and the other two had the most things to do, which was to cultivate day and night.
"Oh right," Yao suddenly thought of something and said to Lu An, "Husband, yesterday Prince Qi said he wanted to see you for something."
Lu An was startled. The Life and Death Alliance had to meet regularly to discuss matters. Even if they had nothing to discuss, they still had to gather together. This way, everyone would realize that they were in the same alliance. Yao not only represented Sengoku, she also represented Lu An. When they met yesterday, Princess Qi had indeed said that she had something to discuss with Lu An, and had asked Lu An to meet her on Heavenly Tiger Island when he was free.
Although he didn't know what was going on, they belonged to the same alliance, and Lu An was indebted to Prince Qi, so he naturally wouldn't refuse. "Okay, I'll go now."

Sky Tiger Island.
A teleportation array opened, and a figure walked out of it. It was Lu An. He appeared in a cave, and there was a special power around the cave that could conceal his aura. After all, the cooperation between the Heavenly Tiger Tribe and Lu An was very secretive. Only King Qi and a few other members knew about it. Most of the Heavenly Tigers did not know.
After Lu An appeared, he did not wander around. Instead, he waited patiently in the cave. Sure enough, Lu An did not have to wait for long. Soon, a figure appeared outside the cave and walked in step by step.
It was a human figure, not the shadow of a Heavenly Tiger. Soon, the figure was illuminated by the fire in the cave. Who else could it be but Prince Qi?
Prince Qi was the only Heavenly Tiger in the Heavenly Tiger Tribe who was completely white. This was the symbol of the Heavenly Tiger Tribe's noblest bloodline. Even Prince Qi's human form was different from the other Heavenly Tigers. His figure was not as ridiculously tall and sturdy as the other Heavenly Tigers. He was tall and well-proportioned. More importantly, Prince Qi's skin was very white and smooth, unlike the other Heavenly Tigers, who were brownish yellow.
Prince Qi's figure was astonishingly tall, even taller than Lu An. Coupled with the natural dignity of the Heavenly Tiger Tribe, he made Lu An feel very pressured when he walked in front of him. However, Lu An did not mind. He cupped his hands and asked, "Is there something you need from me, Prince Qi?"
"There is." Prince Qi was concise and did not beat around the bush. "I want you to go to the continent and help me find someone."
"Find someone?" Lu An was bewildered. He had just thought that King Qi wanted him to do something. Anyway, his competence couldn't be compared to King Qi's. The biggest possibility was that King Qi wanted him to do something in the Eight Ancient Continents, where the Heavenly Tiger Tribe couldn't enter. However, he didn't expect that King Qi didn't want to find the beast but someone.
"Who?" Lu An asked.
"A man." Prince Qi looked at Lu An and said.
"A man?" Lu An was surprised. "What's his name? Where can I find him? "
"His name is Guo Hanhua. I don't know where to find him. I only know that he claims to be from the Soaring Hunter Nation. I don't know anything else." Prince Qi said, "Next year, the world will be in chaos. At that time, people will be plunged into misery and suffering. He will most likely lose his life. Therefore, I want to find him and bring him to the ocean."
"…"
Lu An looked at Prince Qi in astonishment. He did not expect that Prince Qi would have such a relationship with a human. Since this matter was so important to Prince Qi, he would not slack off. He immediately said, "Alright, I will immediately go and find him!"
Seeing Lu An so serious, Prince Qi was startled. Then, he thought of something and could not help but frown. He directly slapped Lu An's head.
"What nonsense are you thinking?" Prince Qi looked at Lu An speechlessly and said, "I don't know this person. He is one of my subordinates. Twenty years ago, he saved my life when I was seriously injured. I want to do this to repay his kindness. It is not convenient for our Heavenly Tiger Tribe to enter the continent, so we need your help! "
"…"
Lu An smiled awkwardly. He rubbed his head and said, "Alright, then I will leave as soon as possible and bring him back."

After returning from the Heavenly Tiger Island, Lu An didn't delay. He directly told Yao, Beauty Yang, and Liu Yi about this matter. Of course, the three of them didn't object to Lu An going to find the man. Anyway, compared to the Ice and Fire Union, the Life and Death Union's position and competence were more important. It was necessary to maintain a good relationship with the other races.
To find the Soaring Hunter Country, Liu Yi took out the map of the Eight Ancient Continents one more time. No one could do anything about it. The Eight Ancient Continents were too big. There were more than ten thousand small and big countries. It wasn't easy to find the Soaring Hunter Country.
The four of them stood by the giant map and searched for a long time. However, they couldn't find the words' Soaring Hunter Country. 'They didn't even find a city related to the Soaring Hunter Country. This result made the four of them depressed. If they couldn't find this country, how could they find the man in the vast Eight Ancient Continents?
"Twenty years ago …" Beauty Yang's eyes were cold as she said, "Is it possible that this country has been destroyed? That's why we can't find it on the latest map?"
The three of them were bewildered. Although it was strange that a country had been destroyed in twenty years, it wasn't impossible. Liu Yi immediately sent people to find the map from twenty years ago. Her subordinates didn't let them wait for long. Soon, they found a map from thirty years ago.
Maps could be drawn ten years ago at most. A map from thirty years ago was actually very new. If they went to the continent, there were many maps from one hundred years ago. The four of them searched on the map from thirty years ago. Anyway, the possibility of a country that had been established twenty years ago and disappeared after a few years was too low.
After a while …
"Found it!" Yao suddenly spoke. She raised her hand and used the seven-colored light of the immortal energy to point at a place on the map.
When the other three heard this, they quickly looked over. Indeed, there was a country in the direction the immortal Qi was pointing at. It was called Teng Lie Country!
This country was located in the Northeast of the Eight Ancient Continents. It wasn't close to the sea or the Four Great Empires. It was a very ordinary location. However, this country wasn't small. From the size of its territory, it should be a medium-sized country. It was very troublesome to find someone in such a big country.
The four of them hurriedly looked at the new map. Sure enough, the Soaring Hunter Country was no longer there. It was replaced by a country called the Chilly Winter Country. Moreover, the Chilly Winter Country was larger than the Soaring Hunter Country. Not only did it occupy the territory of the Soaring Hunter Country, but it also occupied some of the surrounding small countries. Its area was at least 50% larger than an ordinary medium-sized country!
Chilly Winter Country?
Lu An looked at the name and frowned slightly. Generally speaking, the name of a country was more or less related to the nature of the country. If it was called the Chilly Winter Country, did it mean that this country was very cold?
"I'll go with master." Beauty Yang looked at Lu An and said.
Lu An was startled. He naturally didn't want to take anyone with him. It had been like this since a long time ago.
Just when Lu An was about to say something, Yao also spoke. She looked at Lu An and said softly, "Let Sister Yang accompany you. This time, we're looking for someone, not for training. It'll be faster if two people search together. We can also come back earlier to prepare other things."
Lu An was startled again. However, this time was indeed not for training. He naturally hoped to have his wife by his side. He looked at Beauty Yang and said, "Okay, let's go together."
