Hearing Lu An's words, everyone from the Misty Rain Sect was shocked!
Even Yan Xi and Yan Min were the same. They looked at Lu An with a serious expression. Only Yan Yue was not surprised by Lu An's answer.
The reason why Liu Yi wanted Lu An to admit it was very simple. Today was the day of reconciliation with the Misty Rain Sect. Since that was the case, she did not want any more hidden secrets to exist. Otherwise, if they were exposed after their cooperation in the future, there might be serious consequences. It was better to openly admit it now to prevent future troubles.
As for the Misty Rain Sect's reaction, Liu Yi did not care too much. She was very sure that with Yan Xi's character, he would not do anything at this banquet. Moreover, Yan Taotao was there.
As expected, when Yan Taotao heard Lu An's words, her body shook violently. She looked at Lu An with eyes full of shock. She did not expect Lu An to actually admit it, which made her feel at a loss.
"What evidence do you have?" Yan Taotao asked as if she was talking nonsense.
Lu An was stunned. After thinking for a while, he said directly, "Miss, you asked me if you wanted to go with me."
As soon as he said that, Yan Taotao's head buzzed!
That's right, she had said that before, and she had never told anyone about it! Other than the person who saved her that day, there was no third person who could have known about it!
It was really Lu An who saved her!
After getting a definite answer, Yan Taotao stood rooted to the ground, at a loss. She did not know what to do next. For a moment, she stood in front of Lu An, her mind in a mess.
Seeing Yan Taotao standing in front of him, Lu An could only say, "Miss Yan, you don't have to take it to heart."
Yan Taotao was still at a loss. Just then, Yan Yue said, "Taotao, come back."
This sentence finally gave Yan Taotao a way out. She immediately turned away from Lu An and returned to her seat. Her mind was in a mess.
Liu Yi glanced at Yan Taotao, deep in thought. However, she quickly looked away and continued talking to Lu An.
"I didn't expect that it was really Alliance Master Lu who saved him." Yan Xi took a light breath, and his voice became slightly solemn. He said, "Was it also the Ice and Fire Union that spread the news later?"
"That's right." Before Lu An opened his mouth, Liu Yi replied directly, "Our Ice and Fire Alliance has a grudge against the All Lights Sect. This move is to make the All Lights Sect suffer."
Hearing Liu Yi speak out her purpose without hesitation, Yan Xi's eyes became even more dignified. There was no doubt that the Ice Fire Alliance was using someone else to do the dirty work. But at the same time, they did save Taotao. No matter what, the Misty Rain Sect would not pursue the matter.
Yan Xi was not an unreasonable person. She took a deep breath, raised her wine glass and said, "Taotao is my daughter. The Ice and Fire Alliance saved my life, so I am indebted to them. Here's a toast to you two."
Hearing this, Lu An and Liu Yi raised their wine glasses and drank with Yan Xi.
After Lu An admitted it, Yan Xi obviously became less talkative. She often looked at Yan Min and Yan Yue. It was obvious that she was communicating with her Divine Sense. Liu Yi did not care. She watched the performance under the stage with Lu An. With Yan Yue and Yan Taotao present, Liu Yi was confident that they would become friends.
Sure enough, after about 15 minutes, Yan Xi spoke again to the two of them. "I hope that all the grudges before today can be written off. The Misty Rain Sect is willing to become friends with the Ice and Fire Alliance. "
Liu Yi smiled and raised her glass. "Since Sect Master Yan has spoken, the Ice and Fire Alliance is naturally willing."
Lu An also raised his glass, and the three of them drank together. At this time, Yan Yue also asked Liu Yi, "Alliance Master Liu has formed an alliance with the Thousand Shadow Sect and the Fire Mountain Sect. You also became friends with the Yin and Yang Divine Sect and us. What are your plans next?"
"Let's do it step by step." Liu Yi smiled and said, "After all, the Ice and Fire Alliance is still too weak. We should avoid the sects as much as possible and try to minimize conflicts. We also have no intention of occupying any resource territories. We just want to find a few places on the continent to settle down. We will deal with the future when we are strong enough. Right now, we should prioritize self-preservation. "
Yan Xi and the other two nodded with satisfaction. Although they had become friends with the Ice and Fire Alliance, there was no doubt that they valued the future of the Ice and Fire Alliance more. They did not want the Ice and Fire Alliance to cause trouble too early. Otherwise, they would also help.
"Oh, right." Yan Xi suddenly thought of something and said to Lu An and Liu Yi, "The Ice and Fire Alliance is a deep-sea alliance. Do you two know about the strange beasts in the sea?"
"Strange beasts?" Lu An was stunned. He shook his head and said, "I don't know. Is there a problem?"
"Yeah." Yan Xi knitted her brows. She was not a selfish person. Since they had become friends, there was nothing she couldn't say. She said directly, "Our Misty Rain Sect has several resource territories along the coast of the Eight Ancient Continents. They have been safe and sound. However, since the beginning of this month, we have been attacked three times."
When Lu An and Liu Yi heard this, they were shocked! Attacking resource territories was definitely a declaration of war. Lu An asked, "Which sect is it?"
"If it's a sect, it's not a big deal. At least we can negotiate," Yan Xi said in a low voice. "It's not a sect that attacked us. It's a deep-sea strange beast."
When Lu An heard this, he was obviously shocked again!
Why would a deep-sea strange beast attack a coastal land? It shouldn't be!
Liu Yi frowned and pondered. She obviously realized that this matter was not as simple as it looked.
"How could it be?" Lu An asked suspiciously. "Is there something the deep-sea strange beast needs?"
"No," Yan Xi shook her head. Yan Xi shook his head and said, "It's not just me, one of Flower Moon Sect's coastal territories was also attacked this month. The important thing is that they didn't take many resources. They just entered the land. "
Lu An frowned when he heard that. Suddenly, he realized something!
He immediately looked at Liu Yi. He saw that Liu Yi's eyes were also solemn. She looked at Yan Xi and asked, "Are the strange beasts attacking the Eight Ancient Continents?"
After Liu Yi said that, the others on the platform became more solemn.
"It's most likely." Yan Min also opened her mouth, her voice strong. "There are many strange beasts in the deep sea that have been monitoring the movements of the continent. It's been more than five months since the world was in chaos. It's hard for these strange beasts not to know. Some of them know the existence of the Hachiko clan. Today, the world is in chaos. Sects are fighting each other, but the Hachiko clan doesn't care. I'm afraid they are sure that the Hachiko clan has left. "
"That's right." Yan Yue nodded and said, "Without the Hachiko clan, the Sects are less of a threat to them. There are many deep-sea strange beasts. If they all rush into the continent, I'm afraid that even if we unite, we won't be able to resist. "
Lu An looked at Liu Yi. Before the world was in chaos, Liu Yi had predicted that this would happen, but she didn't expect it to happen so fast. In Liu Yi's opinion, under the deterrence of the Hachiko clan, the deep-sea strange beasts would attack in at least a year. However, only five months had passed, and the deep-sea strange beasts couldn't hold back anymore.
"Since the beginning of June, we have received a lot of news. Many of the Deep Sea Alliance's territories in the ocean have been attacked by deep-sea strange beasts. Many people have died. " Yan Xi looked at Lu An and Liu Yi and said, "As an ally, I kindly remind you that you'd better give up your territories in the ocean as soon as possible. The Ice and Fire Union's territories on land are enough."
"There's one more thing. The frequency of earthquakes in the ocean has begun to increase. According to the news we have received, every month, a treasure will be found because of an earthquake in the ocean. Because of the earthquakes, the strange beasts in the ocean seem to have become restless. They are searching for treasures everywhere. Their entry into the continent may be related to this. "
Related to the earthquakes?
Liu Yi's brows furrowed even tighter. This was indeed a possibility. The deep-sea earthquakes could easily cause panic to the strange beasts in the ocean. Plus, fighting for treasures everywhere would endanger their lives. It was reasonable for the strange beasts to enter the Eight Ancient Continents in advance.
However, they didn't know about this. It couldn't be helped. The Thousand Shadow Sect and the Fire Mountain Sect were both inland Sects. They didn't have any coastal territories, and they didn't have any connection with the Deep Sea Alliance. In the current competitive environment, even these two sects didn't know about this.
This was indeed a big matter. They had to make a decision as soon as possible.
While Liu Yi was thinking fast in her Sea of Consciousness, suddenly, two distinct auras came from outside the hall. The auras were very violent. Obviously, they were rushing over.
Everybody in the hall was stunned. They turned around to look. One of them was a member of the Misty Rain Sect. And the one beside her was Xiao Rou!
Xiao Rou's face was pale. After rushing into the hall, she didn't even salute. She directly shouted at Lu An and Liu Yi in a panic.
"Hegemon, the headquarters is under attack!"
