Extreme Southern Sea Region, Heavenly Tiger Island.
In the cave, Lu An recounted the contents of their discussion. King Qi's expression turned grave after hearing this.
"The strength of the Dragons …" King Qi took a light breath and said indifferently, "The Dragons have always been in the two southern seas. Although the entire race has never clashed head-on, there have been many conflicts between individual clansmen. Based on these conflicts, even if both races were to join forces, I think our Heavenly Tiger Tribe would have a greater chance of victory. "
Join forces?
Lu An's heart tightened. "But the Dragons are a gregarious race, and the Heavenly Tiger Tribe isn't. It would be difficult for them to join forces."
That's right, this was indeed the biggest problem. Even after tens of thousands of years of fighting with the Flaming Lion Tribe, the Heavenly Tiger Tribe hadn't become a gregarious race. Instead, they fought on their own and were unorganized. They attacked whenever they saw an enemy. Otherwise, the Flaming Lion Tribe wouldn't have lasted until now.
"Hide?" King Qi took a deep breath and said, "My words can indeed command them, but they can only be short-term orders. They won't listen to long-term orders. As for hiding, let alone them, even I can't agree to it. "
Lu An was stunned. "But … fighting with the Dragons for this kind of thing, even if we can win, we'll lose so many lives. It's not worth it!"
"To most races, life is indeed the most important thing, but it's different for our Heavenly Tiger Tribe." King Qi said, "If we take a step back, we'd rather die. It's the same even for Dragons. I heard that when the Dragons rebuked the world and all beasts submitted to them, our Heavenly Tiger Tribe never submitted to them. Now that I'm in charge of this generation, we won't give in to the Dragons. "
King Qi paused, a fierce glint in his eyes. "Even if the Heavenly Tiger Tribe is exterminated, we won't lose our courage and become cowards."
"…"
Lu An looked at King Qi, his heart full of panic. He could understand that each race valued different things, but he really didn't want to see the Heavenly Tiger Tribe fall into war and slaughter. Moreover, it was for their own benefit!
"You don't have to think too much." When Prince Qi saw Lu An's conflicted expression, he actually smiled and said, "Unless our Sky Tiger Tribe is willing, no other tribe can force us to leave this place. My father told me that running away from the Eight Ancient Continents was the biggest humiliation in the history of the Heaven Tiger Tribe. I won't let it happen again. "
"…"
Hearing Prince Qi's firm tone, Lu An knew that there was no way to negotiate this matter. Helpless, he could only leave once more.

Eight Ancient Continents, Ice and Fire City.
In the underground space, Lu An explained Prince Qi's attitude, which shocked all the women present. Liu Yi and Beauty Yang were also shocked, but they quickly calmed down. Given Prince Qi's and the Heavenly Tiger Tribe's personalities, it was reasonable for them to make such a decision.
Lu An lowered his head and remained silent. Seeing Lu An's heavy mood, the girls felt helpless.
"Husband." Liu Yi opened her mouth and said softly, "This is Prince Qi's choice, and also the Heaven Tiger Tribe's choice. We've given them a solution, and we've done everything we could. There's no need to blame ourselves."
"Sister Yi is right." Beauty Yang also said, "No one could have predicted that so many things would happen. We'll try our best to help Prince Qi find a solution. As long as we have a clear conscience, it's fine."
"…"
Other than Yao Yao and Yue Rong, the other women also opened their mouths to persuade Lu An to not be so depressed.
Yao Yao's face showed her struggle and guilt. Yue Rong watched quietly from the side, her mood calm. She kept looking at Lu An as if she was waiting for him to make a decision.
After a while, Lu An took a deep breath, lifted his head, and looked at everyone.
The women were stunned. Lu An's eyes were heavier than before, but they were also resolute. Apparently, he had made up his mind.
"I can't let the Heaven Tiger Tribe bear such consequences because of me." Lu An said solemnly, "Take the initiative to release the news that the Emperor Megalosaurus's treasure is in my hands!"
"What?!" The women were shocked and looked at Lu An in shock.
"Since the fire will burn us sooner or later, why don't we take it all on ourselves and not let the Heaven Tiger Tribe get involved in this mess?" Lu An said firmly, "If the Dragons still don't want to let the Heaven Tiger Tribe off, I will personally go to the Southernmost Sea Region or the Second Southern Sea Region and explain it to all the races, including the Dragons!"
Hearing Lu An's words, Liu Yi and Beauty Yang panicked. The other women were the same. They immediately got up to persuade Lu An. Even Yao Yao's face turned pale, but she didn't get up to persuade him. She just lowered her head. The struggle on her face was even more serious than before.
Yue Rong, who was sitting furthest away, stared at Lu An with bright eyes and a smile on her face.
Everyone tried to persuade him, but Lu An raised his hand to stop them. He looked at Liu Yi and Beauty Yang and said, "I have made up my mind on this matter. Prince Qi has helped me so much. I can't harm her. Immediately send people to the Life and Death Union and let them help spread the news. I want to see the Dragons' reaction. "
"…"
Liu Yi and Beauty Yang looked at Lu An. Even if the two of them didn't agree with Lu An, once Lu An showed his strength, they could only obey. They didn't dare to disobey Lu An's orders. Helpless, Liu Yi could only ask Kong Yan to go to the Life and Death Island and ask the Life and Death Union to help spread the news.
At the same time, Liu Yi immediately became busy. Taking the initiative to spread the news was equivalent to asking for trouble. Trouble would come much faster than expected. This matter wasn't something a mere Ice and Fire Union could handle. She immediately called for a meeting with her Sect allies. At the same time, she also went to the Life and Death Union to discuss this matter.

After Kong Yan sent the order that day, Heaven Tiger, who had been staying on the Life and Death Island, immediately reported it to Prince Qi. Prince Qi was shocked by Lu An's decision, but she didn't reject Lu An's good intention. Instead, she agreed to do it.
As the matriarch of Heaven Tiger Tribe, she had to consider the continuation of her bloodline. Fighting with the Dragons was the worst choice. It would be best if they didn't have to fight. As for Lu An … Prince Qi had always been on Lu An's side. She wouldn't leave him alone. Moreover, she would remember Lu An's kindness this time.
According to Lu An's order, the Life and Death Union spread the news.
The news of Megalosaurus Emperor's treasure spread rapidly in the South Sea, the First North Sea, and the Second South Sea. All the races big and small had heard the news, let alone the Dragons. Immediately, the news spread among the Eight Upper and Sixteen Lower Clans. No one would have thought that the treasure would fall into the hands of a human. Moreover, this human was in the Eight Ancient Continents.
According to Lu An's order to prevent Heaven Tiger Tribe from taking any risks, Liu Yi asked the Life and Death Union to spread the news, including the fight for the Dragon Palace at the bottom of the sea. The news admitted that Lu An and Prince Qi were friends. They had found the Dragon Palace by chance while searching for treasures together. They hadn't been looking for the Dragons' treasure. After all, no one knew what kind of treasure would appear in an earthquake.
However, Liu Yi didn't admit that they had the treasure. She only said that when Prince Qi and King You Gui were injured, the Dragon Palace flew away without any news. In Liu Yi's opinion, the best result would be for both Heaven Tiger Tribe and her side to avoid a war. This was the best result.
However, she didn't expect that three days later, You Gui Tribe would also release news that King You Gui had seen the Dragon Palace suck a human into it and take him away. If this human named 'Lu An' was still alive, it meant that the treasure in the Dragon Palace had been taken away by him.
When Liu Yi and Prince Qi heard this news, their expressions became very serious. Liu Yi was betting that King You Gui had fainted like Prince Qi and didn't see this scene. However, she didn't expect that it would still be discovered. In this way, the fact that the treasure was in Lu An's hands couldn't be hidden anymore. No matter how she explained, no one would believe her.
This was the worst-case scenario that could be imagined. Liu Yi quickly thought of all the possible developments and came up with countermeasures. She even wanted to look for Fu Yu. As long as the Fu Clan appeared, the Dragons wouldn't dare to act rashly. However, she knew that she couldn't do that.
The best solution that Liu Yi could think of was to use Sengoku's position. The Dragons were on good terms with Sengoku. Yao Yao was the princess of Sengoku, and Lu An was the son-in-law of Sengoku. Perhaps there would be a chance for things to turn around.
Liu Yi asked Yao Yao and her parents about this matter. After the Immortal Master and Immortal Empress agreed, Liu Yi immediately asked the Life and Death Alliance to spread the news.
