Ice and Fire City, Eight Ancient Continent.
Lu An, Liu Yi, and Hong Yi were sitting in the room. After listening to Hong Yi's description, they were silent.
It seemed that the Flaming Lion Tribe's incident was unavoidable.
Hong Yi's mood was obviously very low. Seeing this, Lu An stood up and said, "Sister Hong Yi, don't be sad. There will be a way. Leave this matter to us. Sister Hong Yi, just pretend that nothing happened and do what you need to do. You don't need to worry about this matter anymore."
Hong Yi looked at Lu An and said, "I'm sorry."
"Sister Hong Yi, you don't need to apologize." Lu An said hurriedly, "Otherwise, if my mother knows, she will blame me. She doesn't want to trouble you like this."
Hearing Lu An mention Lu Ting, Hong Yi was shaken. No doubt, she considered Lu Ting her best friend. She was even closer to her than her family. That's why she had to fight for Lu An.
Under Lu An's persuasion, Hong Yi left and returned to her room to rest. She didn't need to get involved in this matter. After Hong Yi left, Lu An and Liu Yi sat in the room. Their moods were heavy.
Even Hong Yi's persuasion didn't work. Apparently, the Flaming Lion Tribe had made their decision. There was no turning back, and they couldn't change it.
But … what should they do next?
The Flaming Lion Tribe had violated the agreement of the Life and Death Union. It would have a bad impact on the Life and Death Union. Although the other families were close to Lu An, if the Flaming Lion Tribe didn't receive any punishment, the other families wouldn't feel good.
"Sister Yi," Lu An looked at Liu Yi and asked, "What do you want to do?"
Liu Yi took a deep breath and then said seriously, "With our competence, we can't punish the Flaming Lion Tribe. We can't let the other allies declare war on the Flaming Lion Tribe. Because of this, the Flaming Lion Tribe betrayed us. The only thing we can do is to remove the Flaming Lion Tribe from the Life and Death Union. "
Hearing Liu Yi's words, Lu An's heart shook slightly, and he nodded lightly.
Lu An frowned and said, "I'm afraid the Flaming Lion Tribe knows what we're going to do. They even want us to do it."
"That's why I said that sacrifices are necessary." Liu Yi said, "When we reconciled the grievances between the Flaming Lion Tribe and the Sky Tiger Tribe, we should have let the Lion King sacrifice instead of the Red Coat. At the time, my husband didn't even want to sacrifice a Red Coat. I was very against it. Unless it was a family like ours, the most unreliable thing in this world was favors. There have been too many instances of people turning their backs on one another, so I've never believed in the Lion King. I've always believed in Prince Qi who sacrificed himself. "
"However, it's too late to say that now. Although removing the Flaming Lion Tribe will greatly affect the Life and Death Alliance's strength, there is nothing we can do about it. We have to do it." Liu Yi paused for a moment before saying seriously, "Trust me, the Flaming Lion Tribe will come to beg us sooner or later to return to the Life and Death Union. When that time comes, we'll make them pay back everything they owe us!"
Hearing Liu Yi's words, Lu An took a deep breath and nodded as he said, "Alright, I'll listen to you."

The next day, Lu An went to the Life and Death Island and notified the representatives of the Temi people, the Sky Tiger Tribe, the Flowing Moon Tribe, and Sengoku to come.
Yin Lin, Prince Qi, Si Xing, and Yao had all arrived. The other races were puzzled by the sudden gathering, but when Lu An told them about the Flaming Lion Race's betrayal, as well as his own decision, the other three were all shocked and surprised.
Kick out the Flaming Lion Tribe?
Once the Flaming Lion Tribe left, the Life and Death Alliance's strength would drop by at least 20%, or even 30%. To the first-rate Flowing Moon Tribe, losing a top-tier tribe was undoubtedly a huge blow. However, Si Xing knew that he was not the first to express his opinion, so he looked at the other three women.
There was no need to ask about Sengoku's opinion; Yao would definitely stand on Lu An's side. The Sky Tiger Tribe and the Flaming Lion Tribe had been enemies for over 10,000 years, and it was impossible for them to calm down in just a few years. As such, Prince Qi did not mind the Flaming Lion Tribe leaving, and he even felt happy about it.
Yao and Prince Qi both agreed, but Yin Lin was a bit hesitant. However, when she thought about Yuerong's special feelings for Lu An and the fact that she cared about Sengoku and not the Flaming Lion Tribe, she nodded in the end.
Since the three factions had agreed, Si Xing naturally could not disagree. Having three powerful allies was better than having no allies at all. Moreover, it did not matter if the Flowing Moon Tribe entered the continent earlier or later; they could afford to wait.
After the four factions agreed, Lu An officially ordered the Flaming Lion Tribe to be removed from the Life and Death Alliance. However, even if they were removed, the Flaming Lion Tribe was not allowed to reveal the existence of the Life and Death Alliance, or else they would become the enemy of the entire Life and Death Alliance.
After the Flaming Lions on the Life and Death Alliance were cleared, the news quickly reached the Lion King's ears. The Lion King was not surprised by the Life and Death Alliance's decision, and he was already mentally prepared for it. As for the Life and Death Alliance's warning, the Lion King did not mind at all, because he had never planned to announce the Life and Death Alliance's existence to the public. When attacking the continent, he was most worried about being attacked from the back. He was most afraid of the Sky Tiger Tribe, and did not want them to retaliate.
The Flaming Lion Tribe could move out at any time, and this made Lu An even more certain that the war between the humans and the mystical beasts was getting closer and closer, and it was unavoidable. Almost ten days had passed, and basically everyone in the world knew about the war that was about to begin. Most of the commoners fled to the mountains. However, there were some smarter commoners who knew that there was no lack of mystical beasts in the mountains. Once the mystical beasts entered the continent, the mountains would become the most dangerous place.
There was no way to hide, and the best way was to work together to drive the mystical beasts away.
The thirty-one factions were not idle, and were instead very busy. In fact, the strength of the mystical beasts was about the same as that of the humans. The stronger the mystical beasts, the lesser the number of mystical beasts. The powerful mystical beasts could be the obvious targets, and they would be discovered and killed by the factions. However, the weaker mystical beasts were more troublesome, especially those below the fourth level. Not only were there many of these mystical beasts, but they were also not big. Once the war broke out, they could easily slip into the continent through the front lines. Naturally, they were nothing to the factions, but they would be a huge threat to the commoners if all the Heavenly Masters in the world were recruited.
Because of this, the thirty-one factions had been building defenses along the coast day and night. The defenses were more than three thousand meters tall, and this height was enough to prevent most of the weaker mystical beasts from entering the continent. Moreover, the defenses had sharp thorns, and if the mystical beasts tried to force their way through, not only would they not be able to break through, but they would also be killed.
It was worth mentioning that in the early stages of the war between the humans and the mystical beasts, one faction's status had skyrocketed, and that was the Heavenly Mystical Sect. The Heavenly Mystical Sect had a lot of information about the mystical beasts in the ocean, including the strengths and weaknesses of these mystical beasts. With their rich experience, they could design many different ways to deal with the mystical beasts, which would be of great benefit to all the defensive lines.
Just like that, the thirty-one factions led all the Heavenly Masters in the world to prepare closely. Other than the Heavenly Masters, all the armies formed by commoners were also on standby. The entire human race was on high alert, as if they were facing a great enemy, waiting for the attack of the mystical beasts.
Time passed slowly. The scouts of the thirty-one factions spread out along the coast and even in the shallow waters kept sending back news. The people of the seven factions were all ready for the enemy, and they did not dare to relax at all. The Alliance Headquarters was also busy. The thirty-two representatives were all holding their breaths, and the atmosphere was very tense.
The coast was calm, and there were only some weak mystical beasts that tried to attack the coast. They were either killed by the defenses or killed by the Heavenly Masters, so it was not even considered a prelude.
Time passed slowly, and just like that … another seven days passed.
In the Alliance Headquarters in the Yang Rong Empire, the thirty-two representatives were in the pavilions of their respective factions, making arrangements. However, at this moment, a sudden sound was heard, and everyone in the Alliance Headquarters was shocked!
"Woo!!!"
This was the sound of a bugle horn. Immediately, the representatives of the seven factions flew out and flew to the top floor of the central pavilion, where there were already people waiting.
Without waiting for these people to sit down, they immediately opened their mouths and said loudly to everyone, "A large number of mystical beasts are invading from the south!"
