It was almost midnight, at the Sect Alliance Headquarters.
All the Sect Masters and Sect Masters had arrived. Not only them, but also the core elders of various sects. They reported the situation of the defensive line on the spot, and everyone heard it clearly.
Everyone basically told the truth. Most of the sects' defensive line eventually chose to retreat. Only a few sects didn't retreat, including the Ice Fire Union.
Only one person from the Ice Fire Union came, and that was Lu An and He.
As someone who experienced the battle personally, Lu An came to the meeting more conveniently than Liu Yi, and he couldn't let Yao come. Everyone wasn't surprised that the Ice Fire Union could hold the defensive line. After all, among the Level Eight realm, Lu An And Yao's strength was incomparable to other Heaven Masters.
After the general situation of the defensive line in the Lingyi Plain was reported, the Sect Masters and Sect Masters present didn't say anything. Although most of the King Crocodile Clan had escaped, they couldn't do anything without the protection of the Level Nine King Crocodile. Not to mention escaping the continent, they didn't even have the qualifications to return to the Extreme South Sea Region. The most important thing was the battle in the Lingyi Lake.
Immediately, all the Sect Masters and Sect Masters reported their own battle situation. Every battlefield had at least two sects, and there was at least one Sect Master or Sect Master, but they must be in the same camp. This way, it would be more convenient for them to cooperate and move.
Everyone saw the result of the battle in the center of the Lingyi Lake, so there was no need to say anything. There were a total of sixteen Level Nine King Crocodile in the periphery, and twelve of them were guaranteed to be killed on the spot. In the end, four of them escaped.
Although it was a pity that four of them escaped, the result of this battle was very obvious. Out of a total of eighteen Level Nine Crocodile Kings, only four escaped in the end, and all of them escaped with injuries. On the other hand, none of the Level Nine Heavenly Masters on his side were seriously injured, let alone in a life-threatening situation. It was a total victory.
This result made everyone couldn't help but applaud for themselves and for mankind. The entire headquarters was filled with loud applause.
"If everyone has said what needs to be said, then let's adjourn!" Huang Ding said happily, "It's already very late. Everyone should go back and see how the elders are doing. We'll summarize the details tomorrow and let the elders talk about it in detail!"
Everyone nodded when they heard this. They had to admit that Huang Ding's performance from the beginning to the end was very eye-catching. It also changed many people's opinions of Huang Ding, and some even looked at him in a new light. However, just as everyone nodded and was about to get up and leave, someone suddenly spoke.
"I have something to do."
As soon as the voice rang out, everyone's bodies trembled. Instead of rising to their feet, they all looked toward the source of the voice.
It was none other than Lu An!
Everyone looked at Lu An. Lu An had always been a man of few words. He was the type of person who kept a low profile. If it wasn't for something important, Lu An wouldn't have opened his mouth so easily. Moreover, judging from Lu An's calm and indifferent expression, it probably wasn't a trivial matter.
"Sorry for the delay, but I do have something to say." Lu An looked at the crowd and said calmly.
Everyone looked at Lu An in confusion. Huang Ding said, "Alliance Master Lu, feel free to speak your mind. There's no need to stand on ceremony!"
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Lu An was never one to keep people in suspense. He said directly, "I encountered a Rank Nine Crocodile King at the line of defense."
As soon as he said that, everyone present was shocked and looked at Lu An in shock!
Lu An encountered a Rank Nine Crocodile King?!
How was that possible? If that was the case, how could Lu An survive?!
"Impossible!"
The first person to voice out her doubts was none other than her ally, Li Tang. This was because her starting position was the closest to Lu An, extending into the Lingyi Lake. Basically, only the Rank 9 Crocodile King that she was facing would flee in the direction of Lu An. However, the problem was that Li Tang killed the Rank Nine Crocodile King on the spot. She quickly said, "I have killed the Crocodile King. Its corpse is still at the scene. You will definitely see it if you go now!"
"…"
Everyone looked at Li Tang. That's right. Li Tang's report just now was about killing the Crocodile King. There were still Level Nine Heavenly Masters from the sect checking the battlefield. There was no need for such a lie. It would definitely be exposed. And if Li Tang was not lying, it meant that …
Either Lu An was lying, or someone else's Rank Nine Crocodile King ran to Lu An's line of defense!
However, at this moment, Yan Tianxing, the Sect Leader of the Thousand Shadows Sect, Xu Chen, the Sect Leader of the Fire Mountain Sect, and Yan Xi, the Sect Leader of the Misty Rain Sect, immediately spoke. Yan Tianxing was on one battlefield, while Xu Chen and Yan Xi were on another. The four sects sent a total of eight people to three different battlefields. However, the Crocodile Kings on all three battlefields had been killed!
Li Tang's position was on the same line as Lu An's, while the other two battlefields were on the left and right respectively. They could cover a very large defensive line that extended 1,500 miles away from the Lingyi Lake. Lu An should be very safe in the center!
"The corpse of the Crocodile King that we killed is also at the scene!" Yan Tianxing immediately said.
"Ours too!" Xu Chen quickly said.
"…"
Everyone present frowned. As long as there was a corpse, there was no way to lie. If the three of them were not lying, it meant that either there was a Rank Nine Crocodile King that they had not discovered, or … someone did it on purpose!
However, the battlefield in front of Lu An was searched by people from his own camp. Lu An absolutely trusted the reliability of his allies, so he said directly, "I think someone did it on purpose."
As soon as he said that, everyone was shocked again. Lu An's identity was extremely special. This operation was indeed a good opportunity to kill someone with a borrowed knife. As for who wanted to kill Lu An …
Almost everyone present turned their heads. Even those who did not turn their heads turned their eyes and looked to the other side.
Guang You Sect Leader Su Keming and Wan Guang You Sect Leader Wang Hong. These two sects had the greatest enmity with the Ice Fire League other than the Hellfire Sect!
Seeing that everyone was looking at them, Su Keming and Wang Hong frowned but did not say anything. Before things were clear, they did not need to express any opinions at all.
Mo Ce frowned, took a deep breath, and asked everyone in a deep voice, "Who killed the Crocodile King but did not leave a corpse at the scene?"
Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads. The Rank Nine Crocodile King's body was too strong. Even if they wanted to destroy it, it would be extremely difficult.
At this moment, Mo Ce looked at Su Keming and Wang Hong and said in a deep voice, "I remember that Sect Leader Su and Sect Leader Wang both said that you did not kill the Crocodile King, right?"
Wang Hong's face changed immediately and he shouted, "What do you mean? You think I did it on purpose?! "
"Sect Leader Wang, don't be agitated." Mo Ce did not fall for Wang Hong's anger at all. Instead, he said coldly, "Since it has already happened, we have to figure it out. This kind of thing is the same no matter who it happens to."
Wang Hong gritted his teeth and his face turned pale. He clenched his fist and said loudly, "Yes! I did not kill the Crocodile King, but I was in the north, and Lu An was almost in the south. It was almost the opposite direction! If I did it, would I have to drive the Rank Nine Crocodile King across the entire Lingyi Lake and chase it to the south?! "
Hearing Wang Hong's angry roar, everyone frowned, but they agreed with him in their hearts. The two were almost in the opposite direction. If they crossed the entire Lingyi Lake, they would definitely be seen by people on other battlefields. It was impossible to avoid everyone, especially if they had to cross the central battlefield. Even if they were lucky enough to avoid everyone's perception, it would be difficult to cross the entire Lingyi Lake and reach the south in time.
Wang Hong had basically been sent out. Two other sects had no enmity with the Ice Fire League and did not even have much interaction. Then, the remaining possibility was …
Guang You Sect!
Everyone immediately recalled the routes of all the sects. The route that Su Keming was in charge of was not far from the three routes of the Ice Fire League. The curve was not big. If it was Su Keming, there was definitely a possibility and opportunity.
And … Su Keming definitely had this thing. The outcome of Severing Thoughts and Fu Yu's attack must have made Su Keming feel suffocated. He had to kill Lu An, but he could not do it himself. This was the best opportunity. And the position that Guang You Sect was in charge of was personally chosen by Su Keming. Everyone remembered this clearly.
Immediately, everyone's gaze focused on Su Keming.
"Sect Master Su!" Huang Ding frowned and said in a heavy voice that he had never used before, "Say something!"
