On the sixth day of the search, it was 7 a.m.
In the southernmost team, everyone had returned to Sky Bank City. Ling Chong had also returned from resting in Ice and Fire City. Yao had used the supreme immortal energy to remove the death aura in his sea of consciousness. His complexion was obviously better than before.
No one had found any clues about the evil forces, so they could only return to the central city to report the situation. When all 26 of them arrived at the central city, they discovered that the people from the other five teams had arrived as well.
Everyone's search speed was about the same, and they did not find any valuable information. Although Du Kong pretended to be very serious, he was not surprised at all. What he was really surprised about was Lu An's appearance. Not only was this person not dead, but he also did not seem to be injured at all. This made him very unhappy.
The worse the state one was in when entering the ocean, the more dangerous it was to die. In Du Kong's opinion, Lu An was a member of the Hachiko clan after all. It would not be surprising if he had some special life-saving means.
"Everyone has searched for five days. You should be tired after not resting and sleeping. Why don't we rest here for the morning?" Du Kong said, "At noon, we will officially set off to the First North Sea. When the time comes, we will spread out and search like before. We will return to our respective cities every day to report the situation."
No one had any objections to this method, so they all went to the forest outside the city to rest. Even in the hearts of level-eight Heavenly Masters, the danger of the ocean and the land were completely different. Just as everyone sat down and was about to discuss tactics, Lu An did not sit down. Instead, he walked to Du Kong.
Du Kong, who was about to sit down cross-legged, was stunned when he saw Lu An suddenly walk over. His heart trembled. He looked at Lu An, who stopped in front of him, and asked, "Alliance Master Lu, what's the matter?"
"Yes," Lu An said, "I want to know if the search area is still the same as before?"
"That's right," Du Kong said with a nod.
"I don't like the southernmost area," Lu An said directly. "I like the central area. Master Du Kong, why don't we change places?"
As soon as he said that, everyone around was stunned and looked at Lu An in shock.
Why did he suddenly ask to change places? Why was that? Although the search area was the same everywhere and it was not a big deal to change places, they still felt that it was very strange.
Only the people from the Karma Fire Sect trembled, and their eyes became serious.
Du Kong frowned and asked Lu An, "Why?"
"No reason." Lu An shrugged and said, "I just suddenly feel that the southernmost part is not suitable for me. It seems that there are some special forces and traps waiting for me."
Hearing Lu An's words, everyone was shocked once again. The people from the other five sects looked at each other, their eyes filled with doubt and seriousness.
Everyone present was intelligent. How could they not understand the meaning behind Lu An's words? They all turned to look at Du Kong. Could it be that the Karmic Fire Sect had done something in secret?
Du Kong's face turned even gloomier, and he said in a deep voice, "Alliance Master Lu, why are you looking for an excuse to get cold feet?"
"No, I'm not backing down. After changing places, I'll definitely do what I need to do. However, Master doesn't seem to be willing. "Lu An raised his eyebrows and asked," Since it's the same no matter where you search, why don't you change places? "
"…" Du Kong frowned and said solemnly, "We've already made a specific plan for the search of this area in advance. If we change places at the last minute, all our preparations will be useless. Are we going to waste all our previous efforts just because of Alliance Master Lu's request?"
As soon as he said that, before Lu An could say anything, many Heavenly Masters frowned. These Heavenly Masters were none other than the other 22 people in the central team apart from the Karmic Fire Sect. They had been searching for the past few days and had not heard of any tactics from Du Kong.
The five sects did not want to offend the Karmic Fire Sect, so they might not say anything. However, Dong Huashun and Ceng Ping, who were in the same team, would definitely not do so. Dong Huashun immediately stood up and said to Du Kong, "What plan did Master say? Why haven't I heard of it?"
When everyone heard that, they secretly gasped. They knew that there would be a good show to watch.
Du Kong turned to look at Dong Huashun and said solemnly, "You haven't heard of it because I haven't said it yet. A plan needs to be explained bit by bit and carried out step by step. Do I have to say everything in advance?"
"Hmm?" Lu An looked at Du Kong, and the smile on his face became even wider. He said, "I just mentioned that I want to change places. Why does Master have to be so angry? Since Master insists that I go to the southernmost place, then I'll continue to go. But if something were to happen to me … "
Before he heard Lu An's last sentence, Du Kong heaved a sigh of relief. However, when he heard the last sentence, his face suddenly tensed up. Lu An had said such a thing in public. It was undoubtedly telling everyone that if anything happened to him, it would be the Karmic Fire Sect that would do it!
"The mission is already extremely dangerous. Does Alliance Master Lu want to blame the Karmic Fire Sect?" Du Kong said loudly.
"I didn't say that." Lu An smiled and said, "I'm saying that if something happens to me, I hope that the Karmic Fire Sect won't desert and save me immediately."
"Alliance Master Lu, you can rest assured!" Du Kong took a deep breath and said, "The Karmic Fire Sect has eradicated countless evil forces. We have never retreated!"
Lu An nodded slightly and didn't say anything else. He turned around and sat at the front of his team.
"Alliance Master!" Ling Chong hurriedly whispered to Lu An, "It must be the Karmic Fire Sect's doing. There must be a trap in the sea. Why do we still have to go?"
That was right. Judging from Du Kong's performance just now, everyone present had confirmed that there was a problem in the southernmost place. However, Lu An had agreed in the end. It was obvious that he knew that there was a fire pit, but he still wanted to jump into it.
Lu An smiled faintly when he heard this, but he did not answer.
There were three reasons why he asked this question.
The first reason was very obvious. He wanted to expose the Karmic Fire Sect's sinister intentions in front of everyone. If something really happened to him, at least the five sects present would have a tacit understanding that it was the Karmic Fire Sect's doing.
The second reason was to make the five sects hate the Karmic Fire Sect. One had to know that he wasn't the only one who would be in danger in the southernmost sea region. The entire team would be in danger. The Karmic Fire Sect had ignored the safety of the people from the five sects just to cover up his death. The people from the five sects had become sacrificial lambs. How could they not be angry? Moreover, if the Fu Clan were to blame them, the five sects would be implicated as well.
The third reason was to use this fear mentality to make the other members not dare to go too deep into the sea. This way, they wouldn't interfere with Lu An's plan.
That was right. Lu An would definitely go to the southernmost sea region. He couldn't hand the Bloody Mountain Red Moon Stone over to others. Therefore, he didn't insist on changing the search area.
After the argument, Lu An's state of mind wasn't affected at all. He sat cross-legged on the ground and closed his eyes to rest. Many Heavenly Masters looked at Lu An from time to time. He knew that there was a tiger in the mountain, but he still acted so calmly. Was this kid's courage praiseworthy, or was there something wrong with his brain?
Finally, the sun reached its highest point. It was noon.
Du Kong, who had been frowning, couldn't wait any longer. To prevent any accidents from happening, he immediately stood up and said to everyone, "It's time. Everyone, get ready!"
Immediately, everyone stood up, took a deep breath, and nodded their heads vigorously.
No matter what, they were already here. They were destined to enter the sea. There was no turning back. Instead of thinking about the dangers in the sea, it was better to focus and be more cautious. This was the only way to protect themselves.
"Those in the sea say that the search area is bigger. There's no end to the east." Du Kong said loudly, "Every day at 7 a.m., everyone must return here to report the situation. This is also to count the number of people. Do you understand?"
"Understood!" Everyone replied immediately.
"Good!" Master Dukong shouted. After looking around, his eyes finally fell on Lu An. He said, "Everyone, you must do your best and do your part for the people in the world!"
Everyone nodded their heads. Lu An didn't even bother to look at Du Kong. He turned his head and looked at the sea not far away.
The Bloody Mountain Red Moon Stone that was hidden in the sea … To him, this mission could only succeed.
