Five days later, on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, there were only three days left until the first day of the new year.
The banquet at Saint Mountain had already been arranged, and the hosts, Great Earth Sect and Yin Yang Divine Sect, arranged the seats for the various sects. Of course, if they were not satisfied with the seating arrangements, they could discuss it with the two sects. After all, the two sects had always said that there was no distinction between host and guest in this banquet, and all sects would be treated equally.
The outdoor banquet was very large, it could accommodate the thirty-one sects and the Ice Fire Union, and each sect provided close to a hundred seats. In order to facilitate communication, the entire banquet was circular, divided into inner and outer circles. The sect masters, sect masters, and core elders of the various sects sat together in the inner circle. The inner circle could accommodate no more than ten people, the other elders and disciples were in the outer circle.
There was an area of about one hundred fifty feet in the inner circle, used for all kinds of singing and dancing performances. To these experts, a mere one hundred fifty feet did not hinder communication at all, they could hear each other clearly, not to mention using their divine sense to communicate.
According to the estimated schedule, this banquet would start in the morning and continue until midnight. After all, if such a large banquet ended too quickly, it would be too rushed, and it would be difficult to achieve the effect of communication. Some sects even suggested to continue for two days, but the Great Earth Sect and Yin Yang Divine Sect did not agree. Of course, if everyone did not want to leave at midnight, the banquet could continue until everyone was satisfied.
Because there were only three days left, most sects sent people to observe the banquet and make detailed arrangements. Every sect would prepare at least one performance, so they had to know the location of the banquet, and every sect wanted to know where the other sects were so that they could make preparations in advance.
Like the sects, the Ice Fire Union also sent people.
A teleportation formation opened, and six people walked out. The five people behind them were all level eight heavenly masters, only the leading woman was a level seven heavenly master. This woman was none other than Shuang Er.
Shuang Er's temperament gave people a feeling of cleanliness and purity, this temperament was very likable. Liu Yi told her to observe the banquet, and soon, she and the five elders found the location of the Ice Fire Union.
In the banquet, north and south were the most respected. The Great Earth Sect was in the north, and the Yin Yang Divine Sect was in the south. The positions of the sects were based on the standards of allies and allies, Yin Yang Divine Sect was flanked by Immortal Crane Sect and Six Paths Sect. As for the Ice Fire League, the Fire Mountain Sect and the Thousand Shadow Sect were on the left, and the Flower Moon Sect and the Misty Rain Sect were on the right. They were all sects that were very close to the Ice Fire League.
Seeing this arrangement, Shuang 'er also let out a sigh of relief. Having friends by her side was definitely a good thing. At the very least, she wouldn't be alone.
After checking their own positions, Shuang 'er and the five elders came to the edge of the cliff and looked down. Five thousand feet from the top of the mountain, there was a huge open space of six thousand feet. The surrounding area of the mountain had been cleared, and it was much bigger than when they first started. There were many large buildings around the sixty thousand feet wide open space. It was obvious that some kind of special formation had been set up.
"Miss Liu."
A voice suddenly sounded behind her. Shuang 'er was startled and turned around to look.
Shuang 'er was her first name, and her surname was Liu. Only her family members would call her Shuang' er, especially when it came to diplomacy. Other people could only call her Miss Liu.
The person who spoke to Shuang 'er was none other than one of the core elders of the Yin Yang Divine Sect, Bian Zhan.
"Elder Bian." Shuang 'er smiled. She often interacted with the Yin Yang Divine Sect and had a lot of interactions with Bian Zhan. They could be considered acquaintances.
"Are you looking at the field below?" Bian Zhan came to Shuang 'er's side and also stood on the cliff to look down.
"Yes," Shuang 'er said. "I didn't expect the field to be so big."
"After all, it's a fight between Level Eight Heavenly Masters. It's better to make it big. In fact, it's already very small. It's very difficult for Level Eight Heavenly Masters to use it, "Bian Zhan said." How's the preparation of the Ice Fire League? "
"We can't compare with the sects. We can only do our best," Shuang 'er said. "I'm afraid the things we prepared are not as good as the sects'."
That's right. Under the suggestion of most sects, each sect took out an item as a reward to the person who was recognized as more outstanding in the fight. There was more than one person. It could be many as long as they performed well. They didn't want to compete for it. They just wanted to get some good luck.
"It's good that you can express your feelings." Bian Zhan said, "If the Ice Fire League needs it, we can help prepare one. It's not a problem."
"Thank you for your kindness, Elder Bian," Shuang 'er said with a smile. "The Yin Yang Divine Sect has been busy preparing for this banquet for so long. Each sect has to give something. Otherwise, the Ice Fire League would be here to eat."
Bian Zhan smiled and looked at the field below. There were many people busy around the field and in the air. They seemed to be checking the stability of the array.
"The Ice Fire League needs to be more careful," Bian Zhan suddenly said.
Shuang 'er's delicate body shook and she looked at Bian Zhan.
Bian Zhan was still looking down and said calmly, "I heard some rumors. A few sects might be unfavorable to you. At that time, unexpected things might happen. With so many sects present, although they don't dare to do anything too excessive, as long as they can barely pass, the sects can't stop them. It's the same for the Yin Yang Divine Sect. After all, we are not the masters. "
Hearing Bian Zhan's words, Shuang 'er frowned. After interacting with the Yin Yang Divine Sect for so long, she knew that Bian Zhan was a very steady person and wouldn't speak casually.
"I know," Shuang 'er said. "Thank you for your reminder, Elder Bian."
"En." Bian Zhan turned and said, "Then I'll leave first. You guys take your time."
After Bian Zhan left, Shuang 'er quickly looked around and left the Saint Mountain. She had to quickly tell Liu Yi what Bian Zhan said.

Two days later, New Year's Eve, Ice Fire City.
For everyone in the world, New Year's Eve was the most important day of the year. It was the last day of the year and also the day to prepare to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new. Tomorrow was the feast of the 31 sects. They had been preparing for it for a month, and everyone was tired. For the sake of the festival and to be able to perform better tomorrow, everyone in the Ice Fire League rested today.
At this moment, the people of the Lu Clan were also resting. They gathered in the building closest to the purple lake in the private territory of the City Lord's Mansion, which was Lu An's pavilion.
Seven women spent New Year's Eve together. This kind of feeling was a bit desolate. Even if the seven women wanted to create a happy atmosphere, they couldn't do it.
Today, it had been 49 days since Lu An disappeared. It was also the day that Fu Yu said Lu An could come back as soon as possible. But now it was already past noon, and there was no news.
There was no news of Lu An, and no news of Fu Yu.
The seven women were in the pavilion, and each of them was preparing a very sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner. They were not only celebrating it for themselves, but also looking forward to Lu An's return. If Lu An could really come back, they hoped that Lu An could have a delicious New Year's Eve.
However, the sun set and the sky gradually turned dark, but there was still no sign of Lu An's return. The seven women had already prepared the New Year's Eve dinner, and it filled the entire table, but no one ate a bite.
Everyone sat together in silence. The quieter it was, the harder it was for their hearts to calm down. Everyone's emotions were obviously fluctuating. When the deadline came, everyone's heart that had endured for a long time could no longer hold it in.
After a while, Liu Lan finally couldn't hold it in anymore, and asked Liu Yi, "Sister, Lu An, he … can we go ask Fu Yu?"
Liu Yi's body trembled, and she frowned at Liu Lan. Liu Lan was startled, and knew that she said something wrong, so she lowered her head.
Never go to the Fu Clan's territory. This was what Fu Yu's father, the head of the Fu Clan, personally told Lu An, let alone them.
"But … what if something really happened?" Yang Mu couldn't help but say, "Why don't we send people to look for him?"
Everyone looked at Yang Mu, and Liu Yi was the same. She said seriously, "We can only believe in Madam. If Madam can't do it, then we can't do it either."
"That's right." Beauty Yang nodded and said, "If Lu An doesn't come back, she will be more anxious than us. We will wait here, and don't add to her troubles."
