At first, there was silence, followed by a small burst of cheers.
The human's victory was not worth cheering for the mystical beasts at all. The mystical beasts cheered because they had bet on the human and won a lot of money.
This result was really beyond everyone's expectations.
It was really strange. To the audience, they still did not know what method the human had used to break the soul hunting ability. It was not that no mystical beasts had tried before, but all of them failed without exception. How did the human succeed?
Immediately, the possibility of a fake match appeared in everyone's mind. After all, the bets for this match were so big that it was impossible not to be suspicious. Soon, someone shouted 'fake match' in public to protest. Soon, the shouts of 'fake match' became louder and louder. It was so loud that the audience was shouting 'fake match'.
There were indeed many fake matches in the Deep Shark Clan's arena, including the few matches that the soul hunting clan had lost. However, at this moment, the manager in charge of the arena had an ugly expression. They had completely taken the blame and finally knew what it felt like to be wronged.
However, at this point, the dust had settled. No one could forcefully change the result. The audience could only shout and did not dare to really become enemies with the Deep Shark Clan. After the defensive array formation disappeared, Lu An immediately flew to the waiting room.
Seeing the human return, all the Heavenly Masters in the waiting room trembled. They did not dare to make any sound and looked at him with some fear.
Lu An did not stay in the waiting room. He directly walked out of the door and strode from the long corridor to the gambling area to collect his winnings.
At this moment, many people had gathered in the lobby to watch Lu An. The staff was also preparing the money for Lu An. After all, the amount was not small, so they had to prepare for a while.
At this moment, a man in gorgeous clothes suddenly walked toward Lu An and stopped beside him.
"Boss," the staff said immediately when he saw this person arrive.
Lu An's eyes moved slightly. He turned to look at the person beside him. It seemed that this person was also from the Deep Shark Clan and was looking at him.
"Your Excellency, what's the matter?" Lu An asked.
"Indeed, there's something." The voice of the Deep Shark Race member was very cold. The higher one's strength, the colder it would be. It was as if the voice contained a ferocious intent. The supervisor looked at Lu An and said, "Please come with me. We will talk in private."
"I still have things to do, so I don't have time to waste." Lu An directly refused and said, "If you have something to say, you can say it here."
"…"
All the onlookers couldn't help but gasp when they saw this scene. Although the director's invitation made them suspect that there was something fishy about the match being fixed, this human's rejection made them confused. They felt that the match wasn't fixed. Moreover, this human actually dared to reject the Deep Shark Clan's invitation. He really had guts!
Even the supervisor did not expect the other party to reject him. He was obviously displeased, and his voice was even colder as he said, "There are some things that are inconvenient to say here."
"If that's the case, I'm afraid I have nothing to discuss with Your Excellency," Lu An said directly. At this time, the staff had already counted the money and placed it on the table.
Lu An raised his hand to take it and put it into his ring. Ignoring the supervisor's anger, he said to the staff, "Thank you."
Then, he left directly.
This kind of behavior didn't give the supervisor any face.
Wherever Lu An passed, all the 'people' made way for him. No one spoke, and they all looked at him quietly.
The supervisor looked at the back of this human leaving, and his eyes were even more ferocious and sharp. In fact, Lu An had caused them a lot of losses. Under the circumstances of the Duel Arena's manipulation, they had also spent a lot of money on soul hunting. Most of it had been won by this human.
However … he wasn't in a hurry, because he believed that this human would come again.
The money he had lost would be earned back sooner or later!

Eight Ancient Continents, Ice and Fire City.
After Lu An came back, he gave all the money he had won to Liu Yi. Although the wealth of Ice and Fire City was already very big, and the other Deep Sea Alliance couldn't compare to it, after all, there was no such thing as too much money. Seeing so much money, Liu Yi was a little surprised.
"It seems that we have found a good way to make a fortune. I didn't expect that group of strange beasts to be so rich," Liu Yi said.
Lu An smiled and told him about the supervisor looking for him in the end. Liu Yi shrugged and said, "There are only two possibilities. Either they threaten you not to fight in the arena again, or they bribe you to fake the match. There are no other possibilities."
Lu An nodded. He thought so too. He said, "It's okay. Let them get used to it. When my winning streak increases, they will think that I am qualified to represent the Deep Sea Shark Clan in a bigger arena. At that time, they will only win more. "
"That's right," Liu Yi said, "After all, the stakes in the bigger arena are much higher than in this small arena."
"What about the Bloody Mountain Red Moon Stone?" Lu An asked, "Any news from the coastal area?"
"Not yet." Liu Yi shook her head and said, "Until now, we don't even know who the six sects are. At least, we can guarantee that the Thousand Shadow Sect, the Fire Mountain Sect, the Yin Yang Divine Sect, and the Misty Rain Sect are not there. Also … I'm afraid that this operation will be very unfavorable for us. "
Lu An was stunned and asked, "Why?"
"Because the Karmic Fire Sect's purpose is not pure." Liu Yi's expression became obviously serious. She said seriously, "We don't have any allies in the six sects. After all, compared to the sects, we are weak. We can't predict what will happen. Last night, I sent someone to the Yin Yang Divine Sect and asked Wang Yangcheng to send someone to the Karmic Fire Sect to invite the Yin Yang Divine Sect to participate in this evil extermination mission. However, the Karmic Fire Sect refused. "
Lu An frowned when he heard this.
The more people there were, the better. The Yin Yang Divine Sect was very powerful and could provide great help if they joined. The Ice Fire Alliance could not compare to them. The Karmic Fire Sect had no reason to refuse.
If there was a reason, it would be a reason outside of the mission.
"To be honest, if we don't consider the impact, I really want to go back on my word and ask the Ice Fire Alliance not to participate in this mission." Liu Yi said, "However, during the development of the Ice Fire Alliance, we can't leave any examples of going back on our word. Otherwise, it will permanently affect the reputation of the Ice Fire Alliance and destabilize our relationship with our allies."
Lu An nodded slightly when he heard this. He naturally understood this principle. A man could not live without integrity, and the alliance meeting was the same. In the eyes of others, there were only two situations where one did not keep one's word. As long as one did not keep one's word once, others would not completely trust one again.
"It's okay. I will do what I can." Lu An took a light breath and said, "I will try my best to protect myself. However, I can't give up the Bloody Mountain Red Moon Stone."
"Okay." Liu Yi nodded and asked, "Are you still going to fight in the arena in the next two days?"
Lu An was a little hesitant and asked, "What do you think?"
"Forget it." Liu Yi said, "If you are injured, it will affect this mission. Moreover, it is best to communicate with the people accompanying you in advance and make a battle plan in advance to avoid being flustered."
Lu An pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, I will listen to you."
Following that, Lu An did not go to Outré Prefecture for the next two days. Even though his reputation had spread rapidly in Deep Shark City, causing all the residents to talk about him and wait for his arrival the next day. Not only the residents, but even many Level Eight mystical beasts were very interested in Lu An. Among them were the mystical beasts that had won against Soul Hunters. Being able to win against Soul Hunters made their hands itch.
There were a total of ten Heavenly Masters, including Lu An, from the Ice Fire Alliance on this mission. Of course, they were all familiar faces and were not much different from the Black Light members. Everyone was already very familiar with each other's strength and knew how to cooperate with each other. It was very convenient for them to do things.
In three days, there was no valuable news from the coastal area at all, causing this mission to be a complete mystery. In addition, with the Hellfire Sect leading the mission, there were too many unknown and uncontrollable things for the Ice Fire Alliance.
Finally, three days later, on July 10th.
Early in the morning, the ten members of the Ice Fire Alliance who were carrying out this mission had already gathered in the City Lord's Mansion. Yao Yao, Beauty Yang, and Liu Yi were also present to send everyone off.
Of course, the one they were really worried about was Lu An.
It was not that they did not care about others, but their feelings were definitely too different. More importantly, the three women knew that if the Hellfire Sect had any bad intentions, their target would definitely be Lu An and not the other nine people. Lu An was in much greater danger than the others.
"It's almost time," Lu An said and said, "Let's go!"
Everyone nodded. Immediately, a teleportation array lit up and appeared behind everyone.
Everyone walked in one after another, and Lu An was the last person.
"Husband," Yao Yao suddenly said.
Lu An immediately stopped and turned to look at his wife. He asked softly, "What's wrong?"
"Although the Bloody Mountain Crimson Moon Stone is very important …" Yao Yao's hands were entangled, and she was struggling in her heart. She looked at Lu An with her beautiful eyes and said, "But you are more important!"
Lu An smiled and said, "I know. I will return safely."
Lu An then looked at Beauty Yang and Liu Yi, turned around, and strode into the teleportation array.
