The Sect Alliance was in a mess.
News kept coming back from the various safe zones. There was so much news that they couldn't even hear it all. The incident happened suddenly and was very serious. If even the seven safe zones couldn't be protected, then the Four Great Empires wouldn't be safe either. At that time, except for the Sect Headquarters, all the people in the world would be finished.
Usually, the people in the world didn't mean anything to the Sects. Life and death had nothing to do with it. But now that the survival of the human race was really in front of them, everyone realized the importance of race and bloodline. Even if the people in the world had nothing to do with them, they couldn't just watch the human race go from a huge race to an extremely rare one!
The situation was so serious that all the Sect Masters and Sect Leaders of the 31 Sects came to the Alliance Headquarters. If the news had to be spread to the Alliance Headquarters and the Sect Headquarters like before, it would take too long. Every bit of time wasted would cost the lives of the Sect Elders. Liu Yi naturally came as well. The 32 of them were all in the top space. The space was densely packed with people both inside and outside.
"No matter what, we have to survive this first battle. We have to survive even if we die!" Sect Master Mo Ce of the Heaven Devouring Sect gritted his teeth and shouted, "If we lose the first battle, the strange beasts will definitely think that we are vulnerable and will become more and more aggressive. We have to win this battle!"
Everyone in the top space was shocked. Of course, they understood the logic. But how could they win?
There was a more important question in everyone's mind. Should they send out a Level 9 Heavenly Master?!
If a Level 9 Heavenly Master took action, no matter how many strange beasts there were, they wouldn't be able to fight back. If a Level 9 Heavenly Master took action, he could save the lives of many Elders and disciples. All the strange beasts would be afraid of him.
But … if a Level 9 Heavenly Master was sent out so quickly, wouldn't it directly tell the strange beasts that there weren't enough human powerhouses of the same level?
This was equivalent to showing weakness in disguise. But if they didn't send out a Level 9 Heavenly Master, once they lost this battle, the result would still be showing weakness.
The seven safe zones were all in a state of emergency. The seven camps all sent out Elders as reinforcements. But compared to the number of strange beasts, the difference in numbers was like a bottomless pit that couldn't be filled.
For example, Guo Pingxian.
At this moment, far away from the safe zone of the Ice and Fire Union, Guo Pingxian and the nine Elders, a total of ten people, were fighting with all their strength against the Rank Eight exotic beast in the sky. The extra five were just reinforcements from the headquarters. Logically speaking, they should be equal in number to the Rank Eight Mystical Beasts, but in reality, the difference was still more than double.
The reason was very simple. The first ten Rank Eight Mystical Beasts Guo Pingxian encountered were only the first batch flying at the very front. As more and more Mystical Beasts arrived, naturally there were more and more Rank Eight Mystical Beasts.
Numbers were always a huge disadvantage, and this made the ten of them feel a pressure they had never felt before. These strange beasts attacked as if they had gone mad. Every single one of their attacks was a killing move. In fact, they were willing to risk their own injuries in order to kill them. Reality proved that this tactic was indeed very tricky, especially when one had an absolute advantage in numbers. This was because the side with fewer people would definitely suffer more serious injuries. Very soon, the ten of them received more and more attacks, and their injuries became more and more obvious. Some of them even had their limbs completely shattered!
In the Alliance Headquarters and the top floor, all the sects sent out more and more people, but the situation didn't improve at all. In fact, it was even more miserable. The number of deaths began to appear, and it rose rapidly. Every number represented the life of a Rank Eight Heavenly Master.
Half an hour later.
"Rank Nine Heavenly Masters, make your move."
A voice suddenly sounded in the top floor. Immediately, everyone's body trembled, and they all looked at the person who spoke.
It was none other than Liu Yi.
In an instant, the entire huge space was dead silent. Even the intelligence personnel stopped talking. Although Liu Yi was only a Rank Eight Heavenly Master, no one dared to underestimate Liu Yi's intelligence after such a long time in the Sect Alliance.
Liu Yi's words carried a lot of weight.
"No matter how long we delay, we will definitely make a move." Liu Yi looked around and said seriously, "Why don't we make a move earlier? Fewer people will die."
Everyone frowned and looked at each other. After two breaths, Wang Yangcheng directly opened his mouth and said loudly, "Since no one is speaking, then raise your hand. Those who agree to make a move, raise your hand!"
Liu Yi naturally raised her hand, and before Wang Yangcheng's voice fell, he also raised his hand!
With each faction as a unit, two factions had already expressed their agreement. In the face of the big picture, facing the survival of the world, Mo Ce and Huang Ding quickly raised their hands. Seeing this, the remaining three factions also raised their hands.
"Alright, then each sect will send out a Rank Nine Heavenly Master first!" Wang Yangcheng immediately said, "If it is still difficult to deter the strange beasts, then increase the number!"

Extreme South Sea Region, Heavenly Tiger Island.
The incomparably huge mountain was silent. Prince Qi was sitting on a stone bed, not sleeping. Instead, he was quietly looking at Lu An in the center of the mountain.
At this moment, there were no energy fluctuations in the mountain. Lu An was sitting cross-legged on the ground, just like when he first started. It had been a full four days since the breakthrough. In fact, yesterday … Lu An had already succeeded.
That's right, Lu An had already advanced and become a late-stage Rank Eight Heavenly Master!
After a day of absorbing energy, Lu An had completely stabilized his realm, and his body was filled with energy. Although his realm was only at the late-stage Rank Eight, his bloodline was simply too powerful. With four different types of power contained in one person's bloodline, his overall strength wasn't much different from a peak Rank Eight Heavenly Master. Coupled with the power of the Imperial Dragon Bone, his strength was even stronger than some peak Rank Eight Heavenly Masters.
However, the biggest change in Lu An wasn't his aura, but rather … his feeling.
That's right, the feeling Lu An gave off had changed. Even if it was only a trace, this change was hair-raising. Even Prince Qi was the same.
Now, as Prince Qi looked at Lu An's body and sensed Lu An's aura and intent, he actually felt a kind of illusory and indistinct feeling. Although this feeling wasn't strong, if one carefully sensed it, they would feel a mysterious feeling as deep as the abyss. This mysterious feeling was like darkness, but also different from darkness. It was a kind of profound mystery, as if it contained a supreme power.
However … this feeling was very faint. Unless one was as focused as Prince Qi, it would be extremely difficult to sense it, let alone someone weaker than him.
Finally, after another fifteen minutes or so, Lu An finally moved.
He slowly opened his eyes and slowly stood up with his arms propped up on the ground, exhaling softly.
He'd already resolved all the problems he'd faced after his breakthrough. The only thing left was to adapt to his current strength through actual combat. He turned his head to look at Prince Qi, then his figure blurred and he immediately appeared in front of Prince Qi.
"Prince Qi," Lu An said earnestly. "Many thanks."
Hearing Lu An's voice, Lu An gave off the same feeling as before. However, when Prince Qi stared into Lu An's eyes, those black eyes were like an abyss, as if they wanted to suck her in. She couldn't help but want to get closer.
This wasn't a matter of feelings, but a true problem caused by power and aura.
Prince Qi took a light breath and blinked his eyes to clear his mind. He said, "In the future, if you want to break through again, you can come to Heavenly Tiger Island at any time. You can also come to cultivate. I welcome you here at any time."
Lu An was clearly startled when he heard this.
Seeing Lu An's gaze, Prince Qi's face actually turned slightly red. He knew that Lu An had misunderstood. He said, "I didn't ask you to come because I like you, but because the power you generated when you broke through was very beneficial to me. After you leave, I'll be in seclusion for a few days. Perhaps my strength will increase again. "
Hearing Prince Qi's words, Lu An was startled again. He hadn't expected that he would actually have a good influence on Prince Qi. Naturally, he was happy to see Prince Qi grow stronger. He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll remember."
"What are you going to do next?" Prince Qi asked. "Go back? Or use your fists and legs to adapt to your new realm? I don't mind exchanging a few moves with you. "
Lu An thought for a moment, then asked, "How long have I been in seclusion?"
"Twenty-three days," Prince Qi said truthfully.
Lu An was immediately startled. He had completely lost track of time when he was focused on cultivation. He hadn't expected that so much time had passed. He immediately shook his head and said, "I'd better go back quickly. I'm worried that something might have happened to my family."
Prince Qi didn't stop him. He nodded and said, "Then go back."
Lu An immediately cupped his hands and said goodbye. He then opened the Teleportation Array and left the mountain. Seeing the Teleportation Array quickly close, Prince Qi took a deep breath and prepared to go into seclusion to cultivate.
In fact, she had many questions about this power that she wanted to ask Lu An. However, Lu An was anxious to return home … She would have to wait until next time.
