Liu Yi personally went to Misty Rain Sect to discuss this matter with Yan Xi. She also sent Shuang 'er to Thousand Shadow Sect and Fire Mountain Sect. Very quickly, the four sects and Ice Fire Union each released an announcement to explain and express their attitude towards the public's doubts.
Liu Yi was very good at controlling public opinion. Blindly explaining wouldn't be able to control public opinion, unless she took the initiative to say everything that outsiders didn't know. With the permission of the four sects, Liu Yi announced that every alliance was a bet. Lu An would spar with the young masters of the four sects and only form an alliance after winning. This immediately convinced most people.
Four days later, the negative public opinion about Ice Fire Union gradually calmed down. When Lu An found out about this matter, it was already over. He didn't expect so many things to happen while he was in seclusion. Guang You Sect's public opinion was still intense. They could only rely on time to adjust.
However, to Flower Moon Sect, Li Qingyue's man and child were still not rescued. This matter wasn't over. Li Qingyue was making a fuss every day. Li Tang was also very frustrated. The hostages were most likely locked up in Guang You Sect's headquarters. Forcefully rescuing them was no different from suicide. They could only negotiate.
Under Liu Yi's suggestion, Li Tang took a strong stance and ordered people to lock up Li Qingyue. He also recalled all the people investigating this matter. Obviously, he didn't want to care about this matter anymore. As expected, after Guang You Sect discovered this, they took the initiative to send people to Flower Moon Sect in less than two days.
When Flower Moon Sect didn't care about the hostages, Guang You Sect had to take a step back. Otherwise, the hostages would lose their value.
Guang You Sect's demands were not small. However, there was also a lot of room for retreat. When Guang You Sect strongly expressed that it was impossible for them to leave Ice Fire Union's camp, they finally used a considerable amount of resources to exchange for the hostages. In essence, Flower Moon Sect was still at a disadvantage.
The first exchange between the two sides was considered to have ended. This was an exchange without any actual fighting. However, it brought about a lot of damage to both sides. However, in Liu Yi's eyes, she was very satisfied with the current outcome.
In war, one couldn't always let the opponent be at a disadvantage without getting hurt. Everything depended on the opponent's level. As long as the opponent was in a worse state, it was a victory. Guang You Sect's camp had a gap between the four sects. Liu Yi could use this gap to do many things.
Apart from these two factions, the other five factions were still biding their time. Basically, they didn't take any action and just quietly watched the two factions fight each other.
However, on the other side of the world, the furthest place from the Eight Ancient Continents, a fierce battle was taking place.

The second southern sea region.
Compared to the Southernmost Sea Region, the living environment of the Second Southern Sea Region was obviously much better, and it was too far away from humans. No Deep Sea Alliance dared to station here. Even powerful Level Nine Heavenly Masters rarely came to this sea area, let alone Level Eight Heavenly Masters. It was very likely that one would not appear for hundreds of years.
However, it was this sea region that was far away from humans that had the most fights among the nine sea regions. What was even more amazing was that the power of the battle did not come from different races, but from … Dragons.
That's right, Dragons.
The second southern sea region was the habitat of Dragons. Basically, all the Dragons lived here. In fact, Dragons were a very large and complicated race, which was very similar to humans. The Human Race had the Immortal Domain, the Eight Ancient Clans, the Spreading Star Race, the Mystic God Race, the Heavenly Enchantment Race, and so on. The Dragon Race also had many different races, and the strength of each race was very different.
Since the strength was different, there would be differences. Just like how humans were divided into three religions and nine schools, Dragons also had the so-called Eight True Dragon Clans, which were also known as the Upper Eight Clans. Other than these eight clans, there were also the Lower Sixteen Clans. However, in terms of strength, they were very different from the Upper Eight Clans. Most of them relied on the Eight True Dragon Clans for survival.
Of course, other than the Lower Sixteen Clans, there were many other clans. However, the bloodline of these Dragons was not pure. Most of them were the offspring of Dragons and other races. They were not officially recognized by the Dragons. However, even if it was the Upper Eight Clans and the Lower Sixteen Clans, the total number of Dragons was still very shocking. The Upper Eight Clans, each clan had more than 20,000 Dragons. The Lower Sixteen Clans, each clan had more than 50,000 Dragons. This was the stable number after years of fighting and the continuous deaths of Megalosaurus.
The Upper Eight Clans were the main forces in the war, and the degree of fighting was unimaginable. The Lower Sixteen Clans were also forced to participate in the war. The entire Second Southern Sea Region was the battlefield of the Dragons. Because of this, the number of races living in the Second Southern Sea Region was the second lowest among the nine regions.
The last place was not the Extreme South Sea Region, but the Extreme North Sea Region.
In fact, if the Dragons did not have a civil war, they would be very strong when united. They would not be weaker than any of the races in the Extreme South Sea Region, or even stronger. However, due to various reasons, the Dragons eventually became what they were today.
At this moment, because of the war, a large area of the sea region was in a mess. Even the depths of the sea were affected. The war now was even more intense than before, and there was only one reason for this situation.
A dragon's roar.
Fifteen days ago, a dragon's roar came from the Extreme South Sea Region.
Not only did the dragon's roar spread throughout the entire Extreme South Sea Region, because of the special bloodline, even the Dragons in the Second Southern Sea Region could hear it clearly. This dragon's roar was completely different from ordinary dragon's roar. The moment it appeared, all the Megalosaurus were rooted to the ground. No matter what they were doing, even if they were in the middle of a battle.
This was a heavy pressure from the soul and bloodline. Under this dragon's roar, all the Megalosaurus only had the thought of submitting. They did not even dare to think of resisting.
Even the clan leaders of the Upper Eight Clans were the same after hearing this dragon's roar. It was because of this that the clan leaders of the Upper Eight Clans were very alarmed. They did not know where this dragon's roar came from, or who it was, but they thought it was definitely not a sound that could be produced by other races. The only thing they could think of was — the legendary Emperor Megalosaurus!
However, the Emperor Megalosaurus had died long ago. Otherwise, the Dragons would not have been able to fight for thousands of years. All the clan leaders of the Upper Eight Clans thought that a treasure related to the Emperor Megalosaurus had appeared, and they quickly fought over it.
When the ocean shook and countless treasures appeared, all the Megalosaurus began to search for treasures. If Megalosaurus of different races found the same treasure, they would immediately fight.
The roar came from the Extreme South Sea Region, so many Megalosaurus rushed to the Extreme South Sea Region. However, because of the restrictions of the Hachiko clan, the Dragons had to stay in the Second Southern Sea Region and were not allowed to go out. Otherwise, they would be killed without mercy!
This was very similar to what happened to the Spreading Star clan.
The Dragons were also no match for the Hachiko clan. The Upper Eight Clans did not dare to go to the Extreme South Sea Region, but they could contact other strange races to help them find the treasure, especially the various races in the Extreme South Sea Region. The Dragons maintained good relations with many of them. It should be known that the Dragons were a very wealthy race. They were naturally very sensitive to natural treasures. With great rewards, the races in the Extreme South Sea Region were very willing to help them find the treasure.
The reason why the battles in the Second Southern Sea Region were getting more and more intense was that the clan leaders of the Upper Eight Clans were worried that the treasure of the Emperor Megalosaurus would be taken away by others. Once the treasure was taken away, it would be extremely difficult for them to make a comeback. Therefore, they had to weaken the power of the enemy as much as possible before the treasure was taken away. This way, even if the enemy obtained the treasure, they would have a chance to fight back.
In the Extreme South Sea Region, on the Flaming Lion Continent.
Today, a few rare guests came. They were none other than the people of the Dragon Clan.
There was no doubt that these Megalosaurus had come secretly. Otherwise, if they were discovered by the Hachiko clan, they would be dead for sure. The purpose of their visit was very simple. They wanted the Flaming Lion Clan to help them find the treasure.
"We won't let you work for nothing. We will give you a reward. Regardless of whether the treasure is found or not, it will belong to the Flaming Lion Clan." One of the Megalosaurus said, "If the Flaming Lion Clan really finds the treasure of the Emperor Megalosaurus, we will give you an even better reward."
With that, the Megalosaurus opened the space ring. Suddenly, countless rare treasures appeared and piled up in the square.
Seeing these treasures, even the elders of the Flaming Lion Clan gasped. The Lion King was also stunned when he saw these treasures.
With the reward, the Lion King agreed on the spot.
