Seven days later, at noon.
In a huge underground space, there were over three thousand people standing there at this moment. Although there weren't many of them, even less than a small country's holy land, these three thousand people were the strongest fighting force in the entire Eight Ancient Continents.
There were sixty level nine Heavenly Masters, three thousand and twenty-one level eight Heavenly Masters, and an expert at the peak of the High Immortal Realm, who was only one step away from the Heaven Immortal Realm.
That's right, thirty sects and the Ice Fire Union, thirty-one families, were all here, waiting for orders. This operation was very secretive. Only level nine Heavenly Masters knew about it in advance. Even the core elders only knew about it this morning. They gathered all the elders according to the list given by the Sect Master and the Sect Master and came here immediately. From this, it could be seen how secretive this operation was. They were afraid that even the slightest bit of information would be leaked.
However, although they had gathered at noon, the operation would be carried out in the middle of the night. In other words, everyone had to wait here until midnight. During the seven days of discussion, the specific tasks for level nine Heavenly Masters had been assigned. It was the same for level eight Heavenly Masters. Especially for level eight Heavenly Masters, the route and area of responsibility were very important. Every sect or camp was assigned to a different area to ensure that the responsible person could be found if there was a problem.
The level eight Heavenly Masters present were a little confused, especially after they had gathered here. They only knew that they were going to carry out such an important mission today. Everyone was extremely nervous. This wasn't a small matter. The scene of guarding the seven safe areas was still vivid in everyone's mind. This operation might not be worse than that, not to mention the existence of a level nine mystical beast!
The twenty elders of the Ice Fire Union were also very confused. They didn't expect such a situation to happen. Lu An wasn't among them, but among the Sect Masters and Sect Masters. Although Lu An wasn't strong enough, someone had to go and discuss and take responsibility. Yao stood with the twenty people.
Dong Huashun, Guo Pingxian, Ling Chong, Jiang Zhou, Gao Shuhan, and the others were all here, but Ceng Ping wasn't. After all, she was in charge of the Celestial League. Among the twenty people, most of them were men, but even their expressions were very serious and ugly.
Yao looked at the twenty people and gently comforted them. "Don't worry too much. Lu An and I will always be with you. No matter what, you will be safer than the other level eight Heavenly Masters."
Hearing Yao's words, the twenty of them revealed a trace of bitter smiles and nodded. They really wanted to be as carefree as Yao, but their strength did not allow them to do so. However, what Yao said was indeed correct. At the very least, they had two outstanding experts. As for the elders of the other sects, they could only leave it up to fate.
That's right, the faces of the elders of the other sects were extremely ugly. Originally, the daily operations of the sects were relatively safe. Now that they suddenly had to carry out a mission with such a large formation, their hearts were beating so fast that it felt like they were about to explode.
From their point of view, even if sixty Level Nine Heavenly Masters were to fight against less than twenty Level Nine Crocodile Kings, there would still be suspense. Even if it was a sure win, if one of the Level Nine Mystical Beasts managed to escape from the encirclement, it would mean that there would definitely be sect elders who would be attacked by the Level Nine Mystical Beasts.
That was not a battle, but a one-sided massacre. No matter how injured a Rank Nine Wonder Beast was, they were definitely not its match.
Time passed slowly, and everyone was clear about the area they were in charge of. Finally, the sky outside gradually darkened. The King Crocodile Clan rested at night. Midnight was the best time to strike.
Finally, it was midnight.
The entire underground space had become deathly silent, not a single sound could be heard. In the middle of the night, everyone was extremely awake, and their divine senses were tense to the extreme. If there was any sound, it was the sound of swallowing saliva.
Everyone clenched their fists, including the Level Nine Heavenly Masters. The time had come. After greeting the Level Nine Heavenly Masters, Lu An returned to the elders of the Ice Fire Alliance. Seeing that Lu An had returned, Dong Huashun and the others took a deep breath and calmed down a lot.
Lu An and Yao looked at each other. Their hearts were not relaxed, but they were not nervous either. Instead, they maintained the greatest sobriety and calmness. The two stood side by side, waiting for the Level Nine Heavenly Master in front to give the order.
The one who gave the order was none other than Huang Ding.
In this operation, although Wang Yangcheng was the first to raise his hand, Huang Ding was the second after all. Wang Yangcheng was not in the mood to lead, so he let Huang Ding motivate everyone.
"From noon until now, everyone has been here for twelve hours!" Huang Ding's voice was very loud and clear. His powerful strength made him very confident, giving people a very firm feeling. Everyone who heard him trembled, as if their own confidence had also increased.
"I know that for everyone, this operation is very sudden and caught everyone off guard!" Huang Ding said loudly, "But in this world, there is no such thing as a well-prepared trouble! From the beginning when the strange beasts invaded our human territory, to now when they wreaked havoc everywhere, leaving no survivors. They have already posed a threat to our human race! "
"And this time, it's the best time for us to take revenge. It's also the real beginning of our revenge!" Huang Ding's voice was even louder as he said, "We will start with the King Crocodile Clan and drive these races away from the mainland one by one! We will take back the ruling power of the mainland little by little and let these strange beasts know that humans are definitely not to be trifled with! "
Then, Huang Ding took a deep breath and shouted, "This time, let's work together and kill all our enemies. Leave no one alive!"
"Leave no one alive!"
"Leave no one alive!"
Everyone was shouting at the top of their lungs. Some of them even shouted until their throats became hoarse! This wasn't just shouting. It was a way to eliminate the fear and panic in their hearts and forcibly brainwash themselves to become firm. At least one thing was right. The more afraid one was on the battlefield, the more panic one would feel, and the more likely one would die. Only by displaying extraordinary strength would he be able to survive!
Listening to the roar of more than three thousand Level Eight Heavenly Masters, even the sixty Level Nine Heavenly Masters took a deep breath, looked at each other, and nodded solemnly.
This operation was to succeed or die trying. No one had a way out, including them! Unless they encountered the strange beast coalition, they couldn't retreat under any circumstances. Even if they couldn't defeat the King Crocodile Clan, they must not retreat!
"Let's go!" Huang Ding shouted!
"Let's go!"
Everyone shouted. Then, the thirty-one families opened their own teleportation portal and walked into it to rush to the front line.

Thousands of miles away from the Lingyi Lake.
A total of thirty-one huge teleportation portals surrounded the Lingyi Lake, forming a huge circle. That's right. These were the portals left by the thirty-one families in advance. Whether it was the Level Nine or Level Eight Heavenly Masters, they all passed through the portals and arrived at the same location.
According to the rules, they set off on time at a quarter past midnight. The Level Nine Heavenly Masters advanced to the Lingyi Lake at the same speed. During the process, they tried to release their power to attack the King Crocodile Clan on the plain as much as possible to reduce the pressure on the Level Eight Heavenly Masters on the periphery. However, they must not delay their speed. The thirty people had already set up their own points around the Lingyi Lake. After entering, they could feel the existence of the people closest to each other, thus forming a strong line of defense. One less person meant one less breakthrough point. It was very likely that the Level Nine King Crocodile would escape. And if any one of them escaped, it would be a fatal blow to the Level Eight Heavenly Masters on the periphery.
As for the Level Eight Heavenly Masters, they also had to advance at the same speed. However, they had to stop when they were about a thousand miles away from the Lingyi Lake. Firstly, they had to avoid being injured by the Level Nine Heavenly Masters. Secondly, they had to form a complete circle of defense. They had to try their best not to let any King Crocodile escape, no matter how weak they were.
At this time, in a direction south of the Lingyi Lake, a teleportation portal opened. Twenty-two people walked out from it. They were the people from the Ice Fire Alliance.
As the family that contributed the least, Lu An And Yao would definitely go all out. They were extremely strict with themselves in the defense line of the Level Eight Heavenly Masters. Soon, it was a quarter past midnight.
"Let's go!" Lu An ordered.
Immediately, the twenty-two people moved forward together and flew toward the night sky in front of them!
