Extreme South Sea Region, Heavenly Tiger Island.
In a cave in the center of the mountain, a huge teleportation array appeared on one side. Immediately after, a huge figure walked out and landed heavily on the ground.
Lu An jumped down from King Qi's back. At the same time, King Qi transformed into human form.
"How is it?" King Qi looked at Lu An. Having just confronted the Dragons, her voice clearly lacked its usual calmness. "Have you dispelled your fantasies about the Dragons?"
Looking at King Qi, Lu An nodded slightly and said, "That's right."
"Listen to Liu Yi more." King Qi sat on a bluestone and said, "You still have fantasies about the kindness of this world. You should know that as one's strength increases and status climbs, the less kindness there is. Although everyone is righteous, it's mostly because righteousness is related to benefits. "
"Understood." Lu An took a light breath and nodded.
Meeting the Dragons had indeed allowed the Dragons to let go of many of their fantasies. However, this also made him feel less apprehensive. There was no need to constantly blame himself.
Shaking his head, Lu An adjusted his mentality and asked King Qi, "Right, has there been any news from the Extreme South Sea Region recently?"
"There have been some." King Qi knew what Lu An wanted to hear and said, "However, basically, the races here have no plans to make a move. They're just preparing. I reckon they want the races of the other sea regions to fight with you humans first and then make a move after you've exhausted most of your strength. This way, it'll be much easier and there will be less competition between the other races. "
Lu An nodded. In any case, as long as the races of the Extreme South Sea Region had not made a move, it was good news. He then asked, "Right, you said that many bloody people appeared in the Extreme South Sea Region. How are they now?"
"They were all eliminated a long time ago," King Qi said. "Although some of them were strong, they were few in number and easy to deal with."
Seeing Lu An's thoughtful expression, King Qi continued, "I don't think this matter is important. Right now, you only need to think about this war and how to prevent the Dragons from killing each other. Ice and Fire City's defenses must be done well. Now that you've mentioned the dragon bones, at the very least, this race will definitely speed up their targeting of you. You must protect yourself well. "
"Okay." Lu An nodded and said, "I'll remember it."

Eight Ancient Continents, Ice and Fire City.
After Lu An returned from Heavenly Tiger Island, he told Liu Yi everything that had happened. Liu Yi wasn't surprised by the Dragons' attitude. She was even a little puzzled that the Dragons didn't even try to snatch it. It seemed that the Heavenly Tiger Tribe's reputation in the ocean was greater than she had imagined.
The Ice and Fire Union was very busy. They needed to rearrange ordinary Heavenly Masters to replenish the destroyed defense lines and camps. The Sect Alliance was also very busy. Time passed quickly amidst the chaos. It was impossible to complete the defensive line in a single day. Night quickly fell.
At around a quarter past nine, the strange beasts attacked again.
Ice and Fire City immediately received the news from the frontlines. The strange beasts were once again launching a large-scale attack, and the Heavenly Masters were flying everywhere to resist. After the Ice and Fire City received the news, they immediately reported it to the headquarters of the Sect Alliance. In fact, the headquarters of the Sect Alliance wasn't the only one who had received the news.
The information they received was more than the previous night. Within a short time, at least the ordinary sects along the South coast of the Eight Ancient Continents had received the news that strange beasts were attacking them. Many massive coastlines in the East and West of the Eight Ancient Continents were also attacked by strange beasts. Even the North of the Eight Ancient Continents received the news that strange beasts were attacking the border.
Apparently, the strange beasts' attack this time was more aggressive. The area of attack was almost twice as big as yesterday's.
Under the dark night, a large area along the coast of the Eight Ancient Continents was attacked. Strange beasts covered the sky and the earth. All the civilians living along the coast were killed. Even the civilians who thought that they could hide in the forest were killed. They knew too little, and they had underestimated the five senses of the strange beasts. Many strange beasts had a sense of smell that was thousands of times sharper than dogs. Even if they hid underground, they couldn't escape from these strange beasts.
These strange beasts could easily locate where the civilians were hiding underground. With their strong power, they could easily dig holes in the ground and drag the civilians out of the holes. Or, they could enter the holes themselves.
However, no matter what, the result was the same. The civilians couldn't escape the fate of death. Some of them even had four or five bodies torn apart.
The crazy strange beasts were running on the ground and the forest, making ear-piercing roars that broke the silence of the night. The commotion became extremely noisy. While these strange beasts were running fast, they kept roaring and roaring as if they were blowing the horn to attack the Eight Ancient Continents.
The defense line that had been broken through last night hadn't been restored yet. It meant that there were still many openings. No matter how many Heaven Masters the thirty-one sects had, they couldn't build an unbroken defense line. It also meant that the strange beasts were moving deeper into the continent.
Inside Icefire City, when one report after another arrived, Liu Yi realized that this war was far more difficult than she had imagined.
No matter if it was her sect or her, they all thought that the real difficulty would come later when the top strange beasts attacked. However, it seemed that these low-level strange beasts couldn't stop them completely. There was no other way. The second defense line was set up to deal with the powerful strange beasts. Most of them were in the cities. After all, the powerful strange beasts could destroy the cities they saw. However, it was useless against these low-level strange beasts that attacked indiscriminately.
The difference in numbers was too big. Not many Heaven Masters could resist them.
Not only Liu Yi thought so, but the people in the sect's headquarters also thought so. The thirty-two representatives all came to the top floor of the pavilion in the center to receive the news. It was convenient for them to gather the information. Hearing that the defense lines were broken one after another, the representatives' faces became more and more unsightly and stiff.
The more they heard, the heavier their hearts became. The thirty-two representatives sat heavily on their chairs. Some of them were so depressed that they started to have wild thoughts.
"I found that when the Hachiko clan was here, we had an easy life," someone said with a sad voice.
As soon as this was said, almost all the representatives present trembled. Then, some of them nodded slightly. Even the representatives who didn't nod agreed in their hearts. Although they could do whatever they wanted without the Hachiko clan's suppression, now it seemed that they didn't even have the strength to protect their home. Their original request now seemed more like asking for trouble.
"You can't say that!" At this moment, the sect master of the Karmic Fire Sect, Jue Nian, said loudly, "Although the Hachiko clan is powerful, it doesn't mean that we can't do it! The war has just begun. The ones who broke into the defense line are just a bunch of mobs. They're not enough to be a problem. As long as we kill the truly powerful enemies and scare these strange beasts so that they won't dare to enter the mainland again, we can slowly settle the score with these strange beasts that broke into the mainland. When the time comes, these strange beasts will only become our materials. They're just like fish that jumped onto the shore. They're just sending themselves to their deaths! "
Jue Nian's words were very powerful. It changed the oppressive atmosphere of the entire place. Many people took a deep breath. Indeed, the current problem was only a small setback. It wasn't a serious problem for the overall war situation. In particular, there was no pressure for the sects. However, it would cause great harm to the civilians.
"There are many hidden Celestial Masters in this world. Even if the weak strange beasts break into the mainland, they will definitely be killed by these Celestial Masters. We don't need to think too much." Su Keming also said coldly, "People die in war. If we have to mourn for every death, there's no need to fight the war. It's better to surrender early or ask the Hachiko clan for help."
Although Su Keming's words made sense, many people frowned when they heard them. They felt that he was too cold-blooded.
Huang Ding took a deep breath, turned to look at Su Keming, and said, "Sect Master Su, what do you think about the next step?"
"We'll do what we have to do. Everything will go according to plan." Su Keming said directly, "Let the strange beasts that break into the mainland do as they please. Just as Master Jue Nian said, they won't be able to cause any trouble."
Hearing Su Keming's words, Huang Ding nodded and said, "Then let's do it this way. Does anyone have any objections?"
No one objected because everyone knew that even if they wanted to save people, they wouldn't be able to do it with their current manpower. Forcefully moving the Celestial Masters would only give the truly powerful top clans an opening. When that time came, the consequences would be even worse.
In the face of this choice, they could only give up some lives.
