That day, Lu An went into seclusion.
However, before that, Lu An went to Heavenly Tiger Island to find Queen Qi and inform her of the news. After all, this matter directly involved the Heavenly Tiger Clan. He did not know what the consequences would be.
When Queen Qi heard the news, she frowned slightly. She actually did not care about what the strange beasts of the Extreme South Ocean thought. Everyone fought for themselves and was not on the same side. Moreover, these clans already knew about her relationship with Lu An. None of them dared to rashly attack the Heavenly Tiger Clan. Otherwise, they would be digging their own graves.
What Queen Qi cared about was whether this news would reach the ears of the Hachiko clan.
This was the only thing she was worried about. Even though the Eight Ancient Clans had gone into seclusion, she was still worried. After all, Lu An's identity was too special. If she revealed that she was on Lu An's side, it was very likely that the Chu and Jiang Clans would attack her. After all, they had a ten-year agreement with Lu An, but not with the Heavenly Tiger Clan.
"Then can I still enter seclusion here?" Lu An looked at King Qi and asked.
Queen Qi thought for a moment and nodded. "Yes. As long as the Heavenly Tiger Clan does not take the initiative to attack, the other clans will at most attack us outside. They will not dare to act presumptuously here. You can cultivate here."
Queen Qi was right. The Heavenly Tiger Clan had this confidence. In addition, many Heavenly Tigers had come to Heavenly Tiger Island after the chaos in the Extreme South Ocean. This did not mean that these Heavenly Tigers had come here to seek refuge. They had come here to protect Queen Qi and the dignity of the Heavenly Tiger Clan. Because of this, Heavenly Tiger Island's strength had skyrocketed recently.
Lu An took a deep breath and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Queen Qi."

Lu An was officially in seclusion. Only the Lu Clan, Queen Qi, and Yuerong knew about this. Even the core elders and think tanks of the Ice Fire Union did not know about this. This was enough to show that the news of this seclusion was sealed.
With the enemy in the dark, Liu Yi withdrew almost all the meaningless operations and concentrated her strength on fighting the strange beasts. She called all the women of the clan back to the Ice Fire City and left the front line to Guo Pingxian.
With the treatment of the Immortal Qi, Dong Huashun's injuries were healed on the same day. In order to make up for his mistakes, Dong Huashun volunteered to go to the front line, but Liu Yi did not agree. Instead, she asked him to hide for a few more days.
Liu Yi's intention was very simple. She wanted to see the enemy's reaction.
After Lu An went to Heavenly Tiger Island to cultivate in seclusion, she personally went to the Alliance Headquarters the next morning and temporarily took over Yang Mu's position. She went to the top floor for a meeting with everyone and observed the changes in everyone's expressions.
After a whole day, the enemy must have realized that Dong Huashun had escaped. The representatives here must have received the news as well. Furthermore, with her sudden arrival, no matter how strong the enemy's mind was, he would have problems managing his condition. There would be flaws in his disguise. His gaze and expression would expose him.
That's right, Liu Yi's arrival really surprised everyone. They all looked at her. She didn't say why, but her expression was very cold. Obviously, she wasn't someone to be trifled with.
The stronger she appeared, the more flustered her enemies would be. They would think that they had been exposed. After showing her strength, Liu Yi's gaze swept past the representatives one by one. She made eye contact with them. Apart from her own camp and the Yin Yang Divine Sect, Liu Yi didn't let go of any of the other representatives. Once the enemy made eye contact with her, their flaws would be obvious.
After making eye contact with all the sect representatives, Liu Yi's expression didn't change, but her heart was already tense.
How could this be?!
She was very confident in her ability to judge people. However, if she wasn't wrong … the enemy who had attacked her was completely unexpected!
Liu Yi's heart beat faster. She took a light breath and suppressed her aura. After saying a few words to Yan Yue, she turned to look at the representative she had locked onto.
This time, Liu Yi turned her head very quickly. Her gaze was sharper and even filled with killing intent. She stared at the other party's representative. The other party's reaction made her heart sink again.
After the two of them made eye contact, the other party immediately avoided her gaze and pretended to look elsewhere. This could be a normal person's reaction. However, one shouldn't forget that Liu Yi's gaze was still filled with killing intent. Any of the level-nine Heavenly Masters present wouldn't react like this when provoked by a level-eight Heavenly Master.
For half a breath's time, the other party didn't look back. He was completely ignoring her. Even if he knew that there was something wrong with his performance, he didn't dare to look at Liu Yi directly. This was a human's instinct. After half a breath's time, the person looked at Liu Yi again and made eye contact with Liu Yi.
However, there was only a vague and chaotic killing intent. It was obviously faked.
There was no mistake.
Even if Liu Yi didn't dare to believe it, her rational judgment told her that there was no mistake.
Hidden Sky Sect.
It was actually the Hidden Sky Sect!
The thirty-one sects were divided into seven camps. Six of them were the Ice Fire Alliance Camp, Yin Yang Divine Gate Camp, Earth Sect Camp, Heaven Devouring Sect Camp, Guang You Sect Camp, Karmic Fire Sect Camp, and the last camp was … the Hidden Heaven Sect Camp!
"What's wrong?" Yan Yue saw that there was something wrong with Liu Yi's gaze. She followed her line of sight and realized that it was actually the Hidden Sky Sect's representative, Vice Sect Master Song Wenyu. She asked, "Is there something wrong?"
Liu Yi shook her head slightly and said softly, "Nothing."
This was just a routine intelligence gathering meeting. If there weren't any major problems, the meeting would be dismissed very quickly. However, just as everyone got up and was about to leave, a voice suddenly sounded. Although it wasn't loud, it made everyone stop in their tracks.
"Sect Master Song Wenyu."
The person who spoke was none other than Liu Yi.
The reason why everyone was so concerned about Liu Yi was not only because she didn't come often, but also because of the conversation between Kong Yan and Yang Mu yesterday. It made everyone wonder if Liu Yi's sudden arrival was related to the Hachiko clan. They couldn't help but be concerned.
However … why did she suddenly call out to Song Wenyu?
Song Wenyu stopped and turned to look at Liu Yi, who was walking over. There was a hint of panic in his eyes, but his voice was very calm. He said, "Alliance Master Liu, is there something wrong?"
"It's nothing." Liu Yi walked in front of Song Wenyu and said, "Our Ice Fire Alliance didn't have much interaction with the Hidden Heaven Sect in the past. We would like to be friends with Sect Master Song. I wonder … has our Ice Fire Alliance offended the Hidden Heaven Sect in the past?"
On the top floor, everyone was stunned when they heard this. Then, their hearts tightened. A smart woman like Liu Yi would never speak without thinking. Her actions must have a strong motive. Could it be … that the Hidden Heaven Sect did something to the Ice Fire Alliance?
Song Wenyu's body tensed up, but he smiled and said, "What are you saying, Alliance Master Liu? When did we offend each other?"
Liu Yi nodded slightly and said, "Since that's the case, I hope we can interact more in the future. I believe it will be very interesting."
After speaking, Liu Yi didn't even say goodbye. She turned and left, leaving Song Wenyu standing alone in front of everyone. With so many Sect Masters and Sect Masters looking at him, he obviously couldn't maintain his composure. He was on the verge of being exposed.
Before he was exposed, Song Wenyu turned and left the top floor without saying a word. Looking at Song Wenyu's behavior, everyone present was very astute. They immediately confirmed that the Hidden Heaven Sect must have done something. Song Wenyu's behavior was just like a deserter.
Could it be …
Everyone was stunned. Only then did they recall Dong Huashun's capture … Could it be that the Hidden Heaven Sect had done it?
Immediately, the people from the other camps frowned and left the top floor immediately. This was no small matter. Even they had to quickly hold a meeting to discuss the pros and cons of this matter.
