Lu An returned to the Ice and Fire City when it was almost dark. He had been out there for eight hours, and more than two hundred strange beasts had died in his hands.
However, these two hundred were not all powerful Mystical Beasts. Only the first batch of Mystical Beasts he found were all Rank Eight Mystical Beasts. After that, there were very few Rank Seven Mystical Beasts. Most of them were Rank Six Mystical Beasts or even lower. Among the two hundred strange beasts he had killed, there were nine level 8 strange beasts, more than thirty level 7 strange beasts, and around fifty level 6 strange beasts. The rest of the strange beasts were below level 6.
However, even if the strange beasts were below level 6, they were still a destructive force to ordinary cities and human beings. A strange beast couldn't kill all the people in a city, but it could destroy the entire city. Moreover, the lower the level of the strange beast, the more likely it was to move in groups. At least ten of them could cause a disaster wherever they went.
However, the number of strange beasts Lu An had killed and the number of people he had saved was just a drop in the ocean compared to the entire Eight Ancient Continents. It could even be ignored. This made Lu An feel a little helpless. No matter how strong a warrior was, he couldn't sweep the entire Eight Ancient Continents with his power, let alone the current Sect Union. It was much harder to win this battle than he had imagined.
To prevent his family from worrying, Lu An returned to the Ice and Fire City on time. However, Liu Yi wasn't there. Yao Yao and Beauty Yang welcomed him. Lu An was a little skeptical. He asked, "Where's sister Yi?"
"She went to the Union's Headquarters," Beauty Yang said in a cold voice.
"What?" Lu An's heart tightened. He asked, "Did something happen again?"
"No." Beauty Yang Yang shook her head. "But many people in the Sect think that the strange beasts' next large-scale attack will come soon. Thus, they asked the representatives of the other sects to discuss the countermeasures. And this time, many people specifically asked for Sister Yi to go, so she went. "
Lu An was bewildered. It seemed that Liu Yi's position in the Sect Union was getting more and more important. Of course, he was happy that his wife's wisdom and competence were recognized by more people. However, he was worried about Liu Yi. He was afraid that she would be too tired.

Rong Mo Plains, Alliance Headquarters.
On the top floor, the representatives of the various clans were all sitting there. However, most of the representatives had been replaced by their respective sect leaders. Since the war ten days ago, everyone had listed this war as the most important matter. It was related to the survival of mankind. They all knew that they were standing at the key point of history. Everyone wanted to do their best. At the very least, they would not be written into the pillar of shame in history.
According to the intelligence of the sect, after half a month after the sect had removed the coastal defense line, the number of strange beasts on the Eight Ancient Continents had increased exponentially. Currently, it had reached a terrifying level. Large areas of land were occupied by strange beasts, including the major cities and even the various resources of the sects. In just half a month, the number of humans had been decreasing. According to the calculations of the various sects, the number of humans had decreased by at least 20%.
Twenty percent was already a terrifying number. However, even so, countless strange beasts were still swarming towards the Eight Ancient Continents. They didn't show any sign of stopping. At this rate, the number of mystical beasts on the continent would surpass the number of humans in less than two months. At that time, it would basically announce that the ruler of the Eight Ancient Continents had changed.
However, although two months was still very short, the most important thing in front of everyone now was the next attack of the strange beasts. According to the intelligence of the sects, the strange beasts were organizing the next large-scale attack, which was still aimed at the seven safe zones. However, this time, the four great empires would be included. After all, each of the four great empires was bigger than the safe zones, not to mention that the four empires were connected. The four empires had the most refugees, and most of them were the elites of mankind. If something happened to the four empires, the consequences would be unimaginable. It would be a blow to the backbone of mankind.
Although the four empires had gathered almost all the heaven masters except for the sects, they weren't strong enough. There were only a few level 8 heaven masters, so they weren't enough to set up an effective defense line. Even if the puppet emperors of the four empires had sent their troops to the borders, these ordinary soldiers and low-level heaven masters were no different than paper to the army of strange beasts.
In other words, the sects still had to bear the responsibility of protecting the four empires.
However, it was already very difficult for the sects to protect the seven safe zones. If they had to protect the four empires, their strength would be greatly divided. In the end, both sides would be lost. There was also news that the next battle might involve level 9 strange beasts. How should they fight the next battle? This was the topic of discussion in this meeting.
In the past hour, everyone had discussed a lot. However, no matter what they did, they couldn't make up for the difference in numbers. Even Liu Yi was the same. Even the cleverest housewife couldn't cook without rice. Everyone's expression was very heavy.
In the midst of everyone's discussion, Liu Yi finally opened her mouth and said, "My point is the same as everyone's. The next battle should start with level 9 heaven masters. This way, we can at least reduce the casualties of the sects, and also deter the strange beasts. However, I have another idea. That is, every sect should send two level 9 heaven masters to participate in the battle. "
Hearing Liu Yi's words, the sects' representatives felt their hearts tighten. If every sect sent two level 9 heaven masters, it meant that the sect alliance would send more than half of their level 9 heaven masters.
Every time they sent out a certain number of people, the sect masters and sects were already mentally prepared to lose all of them. Sending out one level 9 heaven master was already unbearable for the sect masters and sects. If they sent out two … if something happened, the sect would immediately decline or even disappear.
However, Liu Yi only gave her own suggestion. She didn't analyze the pros and cons. Everyone present was very smart. There was no need for her to explain the trade-offs.
"How about this?" Chen Kuang took a deep breath and said, "Each sect will send out one level 9 heaven master to participate in the battle. Their main goal will be to protect the four empires. If there are no level 9 strange beasts in the next battle, or if the pressure isn't much greater than the previous battle, we will only send one person. If there are level 9 strange beasts or if the pressure is too great, we will send out a second level 9 heaven master. What do you all think? "
The sect masters and sects looked at each other. Soon, the sect master of the Earth Sect, Huang Ding, the sect master of the Heaven Devouring Sect, Mo Ce, and the sect master of the Hidden Heaven Sect, Zhan Tian, all expressed their agreement. However, these four sects each had four level 9 heaven masters. The other sects didn't have this strength. However, after some hesitation, they all nodded in agreement.
They would have to act sooner or later. It was better to act as soon as possible and kill more strange beasts.
"Alliance Master Liu, do you think the possibility of level 9 strange beasts participating in the next battle is high?" A sect master looked at Liu Yi and asked.
"I don't think so." Liu Yi would never give an ambiguous answer. She said directly, "It's too early to act now. If the top clans don't participate, the level 9 strange beasts of the third-rate clans won't be able to act alone. They will have to work together. However, I estimate that even if there are level 9 strange beasts entering the Eight Ancient Continents, they will be very secretive. They are worried that the Hachiko clan will act. They will have to wait until they are sure that the Hachiko clan won't interfere before they gradually work together to attack the humans. "
"How can they be sure?" A sect master asked.
"Very simple. For example, they can let a few level 9 strange beasts appear in the continent to kill," Liu Yi said seriously. "Or they can break through the seven safe zones or the four empires. If the humans are already at the edge of life and death and the Hachiko clan still doesn't act, the level 9 strange beasts will definitely think that the Hachiko clan has really disappeared. "
Everyone nodded slightly. It was true. If they were the leader of the strange beasts, they would also confirm it.
"Therefore, it is very important for us to hold the line of defense. It is related to when the level 9 strange beasts will enter the continent." Liu Yi said, "After all, the strange beasts invading now only come from the eight sea regions. The truly powerful top clans in the extreme south sea region have yet to act. Once they act, we must immediately hide. If we are even a little bit slower, we may be consigned to eternal damnation. "
Everyone nodded in agreement again. At this moment, the sect master of the Hidden Heaven Sect, Zhan Tian, suddenly spoke.
"I heard some news recently." Zhan Tian's voice was very heavy. He looked at Liu Yi and said, "Lu An and the Heaven Tiger clan seem to have some relationship that we don't know about."
Once he said that, everyone present was shocked!
