Ice and Fire City, Eight Ancient Continents
The Lu Family was still operating in Lu An's pavilion and underground. Liu Yi was working in her room. However, at this moment, a Teleportation Formation appeared in the corridor outside the door.
When the door was opened, Liu Yi lifted her head and saw Xu Yunyan standing at the door.
Xu Yunyan quickly walked into the room and said nervously to Liu Yi, "Alliance Master, there's news from the sect. They say that the matter regarding the Dragon Clan is of great importance. All the sect masters and sect masters want to sit together to discuss this matter. Also … they want Alliance Master Lu to go."
Liu Yi frowned when she heard that. Her face was solemn, but she wasn't surprised.
She had thought about this earlier. Moreover, as the source of the disaster, they had to attend, even though this banquet would be very solemn.
"When?" asked Liu Yi.
"In the afternoon," answered Xu Yunyan immediately.
Liu Yi pondered for a few breaths and then said, "Tell them that Lu An will go."
Xu Yunyan was shaken. She knew that the Hegemon had made this decision long ago. Although this mission was very dangerous, it wasn't something she could comment on.
Xu Yunyan took the order and left. Liu Yi put down her work and left the room, heading to another room.
Soon, Liu Yi arrived at the door. She didn't close it. She asked the person inside, "Is it convenient to talk?"
The person inside the room was none other than Yue Rong.
Yue Rong was bored to death. She looked at Liu Yi and said lazily, "What's the matter? Tell me."
"The sect will hold a meeting this afternoon," said Liu Yi, looking at Yue Rong. "Have you... talked to Patriarch Yin Lin?"
That's right. After Liu Yi predicted that this would happen, she was prepared to let Yuerong and Lu An go together. Only then could she ensure Lu An's safety. However, under Yin Lin's request, Yuerong could not leave Ice and Fire City, so this matter had to be approved by Yin Lin.
"Don't worry. My elder sister already knows about it and has allowed me to go," Yuerong said.
Liu Yi breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at Yuerong and said, "Thank you."
"You don't have to thank me. Just come and chat with me when you're free." Yue Rong, who was lying on the bed, turned around and looked at Liu Yi with her charming eyes.
Liu Yi immediately blushed. Her seductive ability was the best among the women in the family, but compared to Yue Rong, it was like the difference between heaven and earth. Yue Rong would occasionally take advantage of her verbally and physically, making her unable to withstand it. However, Yue Rong had never done anything excessive, so no one cared.
After that, Liu Yi went to Lu An's room and told him about it. After hearing that Yuerong was going with him, Lu An felt very guilty.
"I'll go with you," Liu Yi said seriously. "You don't have to say anything. Just leave it to me."
Looking at his wife, Lu An smiled and held her hand. "No need. I'll go with Yuerong."
Liu Yi's heart tightened when she heard this, and she asked, "Why?"
"I'm not stupid. I'll definitely be denounced at this meeting, and I might even be cursed," Lu An said as he looked at his wife. "You're just trying to help me debate or block the slander. Your husband grew up in a slave den. What hasn't he experienced? Besides, this is my fault. Everyone is risking their lives because of me. What's the big deal about scolding me? "
"But …" Liu Yi's heart was filled with worry.
"With Yuerong here, nothing will happen to me," Lu An said with a smile. "It's decided. Stay at home and wait for the news."
Liu Yi said a lot more, but she could not change Lu An's mind. She had no choice but to stay at the Alliance Conference.
Noon passed quickly, and the afternoon came. Liu Yi watched as Lu An and Yuerong left together. Her heart was filled with anxiety.
She hoped … nothing bad would happen.

Sage Mountain, Eight Ancient Continents
That's right. This time, the thirty-one sects gathered here again. However, it was different from the last time. Last time, it was a feast. At least everyone had enjoyed themselves to the fullest. But this time, the atmosphere was extremely heavy.
Only Level Nine Heaven Masters from each sect came. Even the Young Masters and Core Elders were not qualified to come. Some sects sent their Vice Sect Masters, while some sects sent only their Sect Masters. They did not sit in the seats in the inner circle, as they were too far away. Instead, they set up a few chairs in the middle of the open space. It was still an open space, which looked very simple.
Most of the people from the sects had arrived. Every Level Nine Heaven Master looked gloomy. They were looking around, obviously looking for someone.
"Lu An hasn't arrived yet?" Someone asked the people from other sects.
"No." The person who was asked shook his head.
"What a jinx! The sect was fine, but everything happened because of him. He's so annoying! "
"…"
The people from the various sects who had already gathered together could hear their conversation clearly. The Sect Master of the Karmic Fire Sect, Jue Nian, slowly opened his eyes. The prayer beads in his hand stopped. He said coldly, "The Hachiko clan has always been like this. Do you still have any illusions?"
Hearing Jue Nian's words, everyone fell silent. Many people sighed with resentment. They dared to talk about Lu An, but they did not dare to talk about the Hachiko clan. It was all because of the difference in strength.
Not long after the discussion, all the people from the other sects had arrived. Even the four sects who were in the same camp as the Ice Fire Union were all present. However, the Ice Fire Union was nowhere to be seen.
The Sect Master of the Earth Sect, Huang Ding, looked at the four sects and asked, "Where is Lu An? Why hasn't he appeared yet? "
The leaders of the four sects fell silent upon hearing this. Their faces were somewhat embarrassed. After such a thing happened, they were in the same camp as Lu An. It was really embarrassing.
"Sect Master Huang, we don't know Alliance Master Lu's exact whereabouts." Xu Chen said helplessly, "But since Alliance Master Lu promised to come, he should not go back on his words. It's not time yet. Let's wait a little longer."
Hearing Xu Chen's words, the people from the other sects frowned. The Sect Master of the Guang You Sect, Su Keming, said sarcastically, "I didn't expect him to be such a coward. You don't even know his whereabouts."
"…"
Hearing Su Keming's words, many people frowned. Although it was unpleasant, everyone was angry. They still had to wait here for Lu An. Couldn't he have come earlier?
At this moment, the Sect Master of the Karmic Fire Sect, Jue Nian, spoke again. He looked around and said, "Since he's not here, why don't we discuss it first? I want to know how everyone wants to deal with this matter."
As soon as this was said, everyone immediately began to discuss in low voices. To be honest, it happened so suddenly that everyone was not mentally prepared. There were many paths in front of them. It was hard to choose.
"I suggest that we hand him over to the Dragons." Seeing that no one spoke, Su Keming said directly, "I'll take responsibility for what I did. I don't want to risk my life for others. If we send the Dragons away, the other races may not have the guts to enter the Eight Ancient Continents. "
Saying this, Su Keming looked at the other Level 9 Heavenly Masters of the other sects. Sure enough, these Level 9 Heavenly Masters nodded in agreement.
However, since the Guang You Sect had declared war against the Ice Fire Union, they would definitely stand for their own interests. The other sects did not speak up or agree.
At this moment, the people of the Thousand Light Sect spoke.
The Sect Master of the Thousand Light Sect, Wang Hong, took a deep breath and said, "I also think so. The countless lives in the world cannot be destroyed because of him alone. Even if he's from the Hachiko clan, he must be handed over!"
With Wang Hong's words and the Karmic Fire Sect's attitude, it meant that there was a second faction that agreed to hand over Lu An. The other sects were still hesitating, but they were more inclined to the two factions' point of view.
Looking at everyone's emotions and listening to their discussions, the four sects of the Ice Fire Union were silent. At this point, it was no longer up to them to decide. Otherwise, they would become enemies with all the other sects. They could not bear this responsibility. They could not let their sects be destroyed in their own hands.
Just as everyone was discussing animatedly, all of a sudden, everyone present trembled and immediately turned to look towards the east.
Everyone frowned when they sensed a Level 9 aura coming from afar. Soon, two people appeared in everyone's line of sight.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Two figures descended from the sky and landed on the Saint Mountain. It was Lu An and Yue Rong.
Lu An took a deep breath and cupped his hands to everyone. "Sorry, I'm late."
