Upon hearing Lu An's words, Liu Yi's heart skipped a beat.
She was anxious and wanted to say something, but there were outsiders around now, so she couldn't persuade Lu An in front of outsiders. More importantly, he did not give Liu Yi a chance to speak and spoke first.
"Alright." Yan Che's eyes lit up as he said directly, "Alliance Master Lu is straightforward. I'll come here to pick you up before noon tomorrow. Goodbye!"
With that, he did not give Lu An and Liu Yi a chance to go back on their words. He disappeared on the spot and left Ice Fire Island.
After Yan Che left, Liu Yi hurried to Lu An and asked anxiously, "Why did you agree to her?"
Lu An looked at the anxious Liu Yi and knew that she was worried about him. He said softly, "Don't worry, they probably won't do anything to me. Otherwise, they wouldn't have sent someone to invite me."
Lu An was right. The so-called Hongmen Banquet would only be necessary if both parties were evenly matched. If the Misty Rain Sect really wanted to kill him, they could have just sent someone to do it. Why would they waste so much effort? Sending someone to invite him was already an exposed target. If anything happened to Lu An, they would undoubtedly blame it on the Misty Rain Sect.
In other words, not only would the Misty Rain Sect not harm Lu An, they would even protect him.
Liu Yi naturally knew this as well, but she was still very anxious. She said, "Although the Misty Rain Sect won't kill you, it doesn't mean that they don't have other motives! This banquet is definitely not simple. They might even kill with a borrowed knife. Our current strength is too weak compared to the sect. The best way is to play it safe. No matter which sect it is, we should refuse to contact them. That way, we can live longer! "
Upon hearing Liu Yi's words, Lu An was stunned and pondered with a frown. Indeed, Liu Yi's words made sense. The banquet invited by the other party was likely to be filled with traps. If he fell into any of them, there would be endless trouble. He only considered the simple life and death of the banquet and did not consider this aspect. It was indeed very bad.
"You're right." Lu An lowered his voice and said seriously, "But … I've already promised him. Can I go back on my word?"
Liu Yi frowned, constantly weighing the pros and cons of going back on her word. If he went back on his word, he would definitely offend the Misty Rain Sect. This way, the Misty Rain Sect would always have an excuse to attack the Ice Fire Alliance. The loss outweighed the gain.
"Let's go." Liu Yi took a deep breath, looked at Lu An, and said solemnly, "But you must remember, speak less and do less at the banquet, and don't promise the other party anything. I feel that the Misty Rain Sect must have a special motive. When the time comes, no matter what unexpected things happen, we must treat it as though it never happened! "
Upon hearing Liu Yi's words, Lu An nodded and said seriously, "Okay, I'll keep that in mind."

The next morning.
After a night, all the women in the clan knew that Lu An was about to head to the Misty Rain Sect. The core elders of the Ice Fire Union also received the news. This matter was no small matter. Coming into contact with any sect meant great danger.
Yao originally wanted to go with Lu An, but was rejected by Lu An. Although Yao's strength was strong, the Misty Rain Sect still had a level nine Heavenly Master. Although Yao's status was high, the Hachiko clan did not give up on managing Sengoku even though they had cut off all ties with the sect. In other words, although Sengoku's strength was stronger than any other sect, it existed in name only.
With one more person going, there would be more danger. Lu An would not let his wife take the risk with him. For the entire night, Liu Yi tried her best to analyze all the possibilities she could think of, including the fact that the Misty Rain Sect knew that it was Lu An who saved the person, and so on, as well as the various countermeasures for Lu An. Lu An noted down every single one of them and was fully prepared.
Of course, coming into contact with the Misty Rain Sect was dangerous, but there were also opportunities. Having one more friend was always better than having one more enemy. This time, Lu An's trip was very important.
Time passed by slowly, and it was soon nine in the morning.
Whoosh —
A green light shone in the northern sky of the Ice Fire Island, and a figure appeared outside the Ice Fire Island. It was Yan Che. Yan Che rushed over from afar. After all, setting up a transportation array in front of someone else's house was very unfriendly behavior. Even if Yan Che was proud, he did not do so.
Yan Che stood in the sky, looking down at the entire Ice Fire Island. This lofty aura caused the women in the clan to frown.
Especially Yao and Beauty Yang. Yao's gentle eyes turned slightly cold, and she turned to Lu An and said, "Husband, I'll send you out."
Lu An was startled, not knowing what Yao wanted to do. But if it was just to send him off, it was nothing. He nodded slightly.
Immediately, Lu An And Yao moved together, flying out of the defensive array's passageway and into the sky outside the Ice Fire Island. Soon, they arrived in front of Yan Che.
Whoosh —
Lu An And Yao stood at the same height as Yan Che, only ten feet away from him. Yan Che was startled. Naturally, this was the first time she met Yao, but she felt a heavy pressure and a sense of crisis!
This kind of pressure was omnidirectional. Women cared about each other's appearance. Although Yan Che was also considered a beauty, she was completely different from Yao. And the sense of crisis came from strength. Yan Che could feel that the strength of the other party, who was like a fairy descending to the mortal world, was definitely not weaker than her, or even stronger!
Yao's gentle face actually emitted a faint murderous aura, and the sacred aura of her body was constantly spreading. This was a stronger attribute than any of the fifteen clans, making Yan Che feel breathless!
Yan Che's face was obviously very nervous, even a little pale. She forced herself to take a deep breath, looked at Yao and said, "You must be the princess of Sengoku, right?"
"En." Yao just responded softly, and did not pay attention to the other party. She looked at Lu An and said, "Husband, go and come back quickly."
Lu An was startled, and said with a smile, "Okay."
Lu An knew that Yao's words were not only for him, but also for the other party.
Then, Lu An looked at Yan Che and said, "Let's go."
Yan Che looked at Yao, and then turned to Lu An. Her attitude was no longer as arrogant as before. She nodded and said, "Follow me."
With that, Yan Che turned and flew to the north.
"Don't worry and wait for me to come back," Lu An said softly to Yao, and immediately followed her.
The two flew quickly in the sky. Yan Che's flying speed was not fast, but her strength was too high, much higher than Lu An's. Lu An could barely keep up with her by flying at full speed. However, Lu An did not say anything, and just followed quietly.
After flying for about fifteen minutes, the two came to an empty sea. Yan Che stopped and clapped her right hand. In an instant, a green light rippled out, and soon, a transmission array full of mist appeared.
"Please," Yan Che said to Lu An, looking at him.
Lu An did not hesitate, and directly flew forward and entered the transmission array.
After seeing Lu An enter, Yan Che immediately entered as well. Soon, the transmission array disappeared in the sky and was completely closed.

Two breaths later.
Misty Rain Sect at the top of the hanging mountain.
A transmission array appeared in the largest square. Lu An and Yan Che appeared one after another and landed steadily on the ground.
Lu An looked at the Misty Rain Sect that was filled with mist. It seemed to be shrouded by a layer of gauze, giving off a very quiet and mysterious feeling.
This was Lu An's first time at the Misty Rain Sect, so he naturally sized it up quickly. Looking at the conical general structure, there was a red carpet that went from the bottom to the top. Not only that, but at this moment, both sides of the red carpet were filled with disciples. What surprised Lu An even more was that they were all female disciples.
Every disciple was holding a longsword behind their back. They did not put their longswords in their rings. Lu An knew that many people had the habit of showing their weapons. It had to be said that the disciples on both sides of the red carpet had extremely powerful auras. It was not something that the Deep Sea Alliance could compare to. The difference was too great.
However … wasn't this a little too much?
Lu An frowned slightly. He was only the leader of the Ice Fire Alliance. His strength was low, and he was nothing in the sect. Why did the Misty Rain Sect make such a big scene to welcome him?
When Yan Che saw Lu An standing still, he said, "The Sect Master is waiting for us up there. Let's go."
Lu An turned to look at Yan Che. Without saying anything, he nodded slightly and moved forward.
