The war was getting closer. There were only three days left.
In the last three days, the entire Eight Ancient Continents were strangely peaceful. No sect or sect made any move. The four great empires didn't make any noise. It seemed that the entire Eight Ancient Continents had quieted down. It was like the night had fallen and everyone was sleeping.
Each sect was busy with their own affairs, but they didn't dare to do anything to the outside world. No one dared to disturb this dark night. They were just waiting for the dawn.
The Ice and Fire Union was the same.
In the last three days, everyone in the Ice and Fire Union was depressed. On the first day they joined the Ice and Fire Union, they were told that the world was going to be in chaos. As the day was approaching, even though they had already known about it, they were still nervous.
On the first day of the New Year, except for the core decision-makers, everyone had to leave the nest and go to the Eight Ancient Continents. Whether it was the Ice Island, the Fire Island, or the headquarters, everyone had to go to the Eight Ancient Continents, including Dong Huashun and Ceng Ping.
The women in the family also knew that Princess Yan Yi had joined them. They didn't question Liu Yi's decision, including Beauty Yao and Beauty Yang. Now was not the time to care about these things. It was very likely that if they listened to the princess's decision alone, many lives would be saved. The women in the family were not calculative people. They had already experienced so many life and death situations, so they would not bear grudges over such a small matter.
Everything had been prepared a long time ago. Twenty different teams had gathered on the Ice Island and the Fire Island respectively. There were only three days left. The women of the family often gathered together to discuss the final details.
On the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, two nights before the New Year's Day.
All the women in the family gathered in the meeting hall on the Ice and Fire Island. Since Lu An had left to cultivate, none of them had returned to the Immortal Island. They were all trying their best to deal with the following matters. Until now, there was nothing to discuss. Moreover, it was something they had discussed before.
For the time being, the entire meeting hall was quiet. All the women were thinking about something. The bright moonlight shone through the door, but it wasn't as beautiful as the women in the room.
"I wonder how he is now."
Suddenly, someone spoke. The other women turned their heads to look. The one who spoke was none other than Shuang 'er.
Seeing everyone looking at her, Shuang 'er blushed. She was the youngest in the family, but she was already fifteen years old. She was already a slender and elegant girl, no longer a child.
"It's obvious that everyone is thinking about him …" Shuang 'er shrank her head and whispered as if she had done something wrong. "Why can't we say it …"
Hearing Shuang 'er's words, everyone looked at each other and shook their heads slightly. They were indeed thinking about Lu An. They could also talk to others, just like how Yao could talk to Beauty Yang, and Liu Yi could talk to Liu Lan. However, they rarely gathered together to talk, even if the family knew each other from the beginning.
All the women looked at Beauty Yao and Beauty Yang, including Liu Yi. Beauty Yao and Beauty Yang were Lu An's real wives, so their status was different from theirs.
Beauty Yang also looked at Yao. After all, Yao was Lu An's first wife. Although Beauty Yang was old, she had never forgotten about this matter.
Realizing that everyone was looking at her, Yao gently smiled and said, "It's fine. We are all family, and everyone is indeed thinking about him. Why hide it in your heart? If you say it out loud, everyone will feel better. There's no need to mind."
Hearing Yao's words, everyone let out a sigh of relief in their hearts. Actually, they all knew Yao's personality, but they felt that it wasn't good to say it out loud.
"I asked Prince Qi today. Master is still at the bottom of the sea, and there are no changes. Based on this progress, it's very likely that master won't return before the first day of the month." Beauty Yang said with a slightly cold voice.
Hearing Beauty Yang's words, many people's hearts tightened. Without Lu An, their hearts would always be very flustered, as if they had lost their support.
"Without Lu An, we have to do this matter well, so as to not make him worry." Liu Yi took a deep breath, looked at the depressed expressions of the women, and said, "This is the biggest matter our clan is facing right now, and also the biggest thing we can do for Lu An. Fu Yu has done so much for Lu An, so we definitely can't become a burden to Lu An. Instead, we have to become a power that can help him. "
Hearing Liu Yi's words, the other women's bodies trembled, and they all nodded. Yao and Beauty Yang naturally didn't need Liu Yi's persuasion. However, when Liu Yi mentioned the two words "Fu Yu", the two of them felt a huge pressure.
This was because when Lu An came out of seclusion, it was very likely that he would become a Level Eight Heavenly Master. And when Lu An became a Level Eight Heavenly Master, the two of them believed that Lu An would without a doubt go to the Hachiko clan and the Fu Clan to propose marriage!
The two of them had seen Lu An's obsession with becoming a Level Eight Heavenly Master. They also knew about the feelings between Lu An and Fu Yu. Fu Yu would definitely think of a way to make Lu An's proposal succeed. Otherwise, with Fu Yu's personality, she wouldn't let Lu An go.
When Fu Yu became Lu An's wife, even if she was behind the two of them, they were very clear that Fu Yu was the true legal wife, and they could only be ranked behind her. Although they had always been clear about this point, they still felt more or less pressured.
The night was silent, and no one knew what to say. They just sat there quietly for the entire night.
The next day, the thirtieth day of the twelfth lunar month, was the last day before the war.
Most of the places on the Eight Ancient Continents started to snow, and the snow was very heavy. Although the war hadn't started yet, they had to take action. The war would start on the first day of the Lunar New Year, which was around midnight. The twenty strongholds would set off together. Thus, everyone had to arrive at the strongholds in advance to prepare.
As the Hegemon, of course, Liu Yi had to stay on the Ice and Fire Island to control the situation. Yang Mu and Liu Yi were the leaders of the Ice and Fire Islands, so they had to stay on the islands for a long time. However, for the war tonight, they had to travel around the Eight Ancient Continents to observe and control the situation.
Liu Yi first sent the other core members away before meeting the family members. This time, Zhan Yao and Beauty Yang would also set off. However, they wouldn't enter the battlefield immediately. They would wait for the news at the headquarters. As the two strongest members of the Ice and Fire Union, once a stronghold encountered a strong enemy, they would go there to solve it.
Among the twenty strongholds, one of them was the headquarters of the Ice and Fire Union in the Eight Ancient Continents. It was responsible for the diplomatic work with the forces on the Eight Ancient Continents. Kong Yan and Shuang'Er were in charge of it. Thus, they had to go there today. Sheng'Er, Hong Yi, Xiao Rou, and Princess Yan Yi would stay in the headquarters to wait for orders.
Liu Yi looked at her sisters, who were about to leave for the Eight Ancient Continents. She could say a lot of encouraging words to the others, but it was unnecessary to say anything to her sisters.
"You must be careful," Liu Yi said gently. "If something happens to you, Lu An will kill me."
The four girls smiled, nodded, and then opened the Teleport Formation to leave.
Spirit Mountain City, Eight Ancient Continents.
This was a city at the border of a medium-sized country. Its geographical location wasn't bad. However, because of this, the two countries had been fighting for this city for years. Several months ago, the Ice and Fire Union had occupied this city and made it their territory. The two medium-sized countries in the East and West didn't dare to act rashly.
At this moment, it was snowing heavily. Snowflakes fell from the sky, turning the entire city white. Not only this city, but the two medium-sized countries around it were also the same.
However, besides the white snow, the two medium-sized countries around it also had a lot of red. They were decorated with lanterns and decorations. The atmosphere of the New Year was really thick. However, they didn't know what they were going to face.
"Island Master." When the others saw Yang Mu, they all greeted her. Yang Mu nodded. She wore a cloak and didn't do anything. She just let the snowflakes fall on her body.
Yang Mu extended her hand. The snowflakes gently fell on her palm. Feeling her warmth, they melted quickly.
"Tonight's battle, try not to hurt the civilians." Yang Mu's voice was soft as if she didn't want to disturb the last moment of peace.
