Early in the morning, many people from various sects arrived.
In fact, during this period of time, many people had been preparing here. Seven days ago, the performers from various sects had also come here for rehearsals. However, except for the ninth-level masters and core elders, no one could leave here until the end of the feast. The reason for this was very simple. It was to prevent spies from leaking information to the outside world.
Among the people from various sects who arrived early, even the sect master and the chief, everyone was looking forward to this year's New Year's Eve, including the ninth-level masters. In the past year, everyone had been under too much pressure. It was rare to find a good opportunity to relieve themselves. The feast started in the afternoon. It was still very early, leaving a lot of time for everyone to interact.
After seven o 'clock, more and more sects arrived. Soon, more than half of them had arrived. When seven o 'clock was about to end, all 30 sects had arrived. It was enough to show how much they were looking forward to today.
The only one who didn't come was the Ice Fire Union.
Even Zhu He of the Celestial Union came with people from various races. Many sects took the initiative to greet him, especially Wang Yangcheng, whose eyes were shining. However, after seven o 'clock, only Xu Yunyan and a few other elders from the Ice Fire Union were here. No one from the Lu Clan showed up.
To be honest, this fact made everyone's heart heavy. After such a long time of contact, everyone understood what kind of person Liu Yi was. She was definitely not a person who would be lacking in etiquette and communication. She might be one of the late arrivals, but she definitely wouldn't be the last. Now that none of the seven daughters of the Lu Clan showed up, everyone was thinking … did something happen?
Everyone chatted and waited for nearly an hour. Still, no one from the Lu Clan showed up. This made everyone's heart heavier. Although the Ice Fire Union was weak, no other sect could compare to its importance. It was related to the future of the entire sect alliance and the human race.
More importantly, since the last battle, they hadn't seen Lu An for three and a half months. During this time, many sects had asked the Ice Fire Union, but the Ice Fire Union only replied that they were cultivating. Other than that, they didn't say anything else. It was inevitable that everyone would have some guesses.
Finally, someone lost his patience. Huang Ding, who was chatting with others, took a deep breath and walked out of the crowd, walking towards Xu Yunyan and the others. The appearance of this scene was immediately noticed by everyone. They all stopped talking and turned to look.
The scene suddenly became very quiet. Xu Yunyan and the others naturally noticed Huang Ding walking over and stood up one after another. When Huang Ding walked up to them, everyone bowed respectfully, "Sect Head Huang."
Huang Ding revealed his usual amiable smile and said to Xu Yunyan, "Elder Xu, you don't have to be so polite! What about Alliance Master Lu and Alliance Master Liu? And the people from the Lu Clan, when are they coming? "
"…"
The scene became even quieter. No one spoke as they waited for Xu Yunyan's answer.
"Alliance Master Liu said that she will come later." Xu Yunyan smiled and said respectfully, "The same goes for the other members of the Lu Clan. As for Alliance Master Lu … he's still cultivating, so he probably won't be coming today."
Hearing Xu Yunyan's words, everyone present immediately took a deep breath and frowned.
The people present were not stupid. Lu An and Liu Yi were definitely not arrogant and conceited people. They definitely wouldn't deliberately put on airs. Lu An didn't come, and the seven women of the Lu Clan came later, which meant that something must have happened!
Everyone looked at each other, and immediately many people started to talk. However, they only talked through Divine Senses. The scene was still quiet because the conversation wasn't over. With Huang Ding's character, he would definitely continue to ask.
Sure enough, after Huang Ding was slightly stunned, he revealed a kind smile and asked, "Why is Alliance Master Lu cultivating for so long this time? Is he cultivating in the Ice Fire Union? Or are you cultivating outside? "
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. This was one of the things they wanted to know the most.
"I'm not sure about this." Xu Yunyan smiled and said, "I only know that Alliance Master is cultivating, but only the Lu Clan knows the details. I'm not qualified to know."
She didn't know anything.
Everyone frowned even more. To be honest, they didn't believe her at all. Xu Yunyan had a very high position in the Ice Fire Union. She was equivalent to the core Grand Elder of each sect. How could it be possible that even she didn't know Lu An's whereabouts?
However, since Xu Yunyan had made her attitude clear, the people present couldn't force Xu Yunyan to tell them the truth as if they were interrogating a criminal. Even Huang Ding had to leave helplessly. In fact, not to mention Huang Ding, even the four allies of the Ice Fire Union didn't know Lu An's whereabouts. The answers they got were exactly the same.
In another part of the Eight Ancient Continents, in the underground Ice Fire Union.
At this moment, the seven women of the Lu Clan were all sitting in a room. Even Yao and Beauty Yang, who had been cultivating, were also present. The reason why they didn't go to the feast was simple. They all wanted to wait here for Lu An to come back.
Even though they knew it couldn't be so coincidental, they still chose to wait here, even if there was only a glimmer of hope. Maybe Lu An, who was outside, would remember that today was New Year's Eve and come home to celebrate the New Year with them. As for the feast … compared to Lu An, it wasn't even worth mentioning.
However, the reality was much crueler than their expectations.
The seven women kept waiting, and no one left. However, they waited until the afternoon and still didn't see Lu An's figure. However, it was obvious that none of the women wanted to leave. As long as today wasn't over, they still had hope.
However, there was still an hour before the feast started. If they didn't go now, it wouldn't be justifiable.
No one wanted to go. At this moment, Liu Yi stood up. The six women were startled and looked at her one after another.
"We have to go to the feast." Liu Yi's voice was very dull. It sounded like there wasn't a trace of vitality. She looked at the six women and finally fixed her eyes on Yang Mu. She said, "Little sister Mu will go with me. The others don't need to go."
Hearing this, the six women trembled. As the diplomatic representative of the Ice Fire Union, Yang Mu was also the representative of the Lu Clan. She had to attend this kind of occasion and could only attend. Because of this, Liu Yi only mentioned Yang Mu. She was very clear that no one wanted to go, so there was no need to go.
If possible, she herself didn't want to go.
Although Yang Mu really wanted to stay, she knew how to consider the big picture. She stood up and walked to Liu Yi's side.
"If he comes back, immediately send someone to inform us." Liu Yi turned and said to Yao and Beauty Yang.
Yao and Beauty Yang nodded lightly. Then, Liu Yi didn't say anything else. She didn't have the mood to say anything either. She activated the teleportation array and left.

Eight Ancient Continent, the sect's feast place.
This place was naturally under the ground, but it was still very big. After all, the sect had many performances, and many of them were very grand scenes. If they didn't build a bigger place, they wouldn't be able to display their charm. The entire place was open-air. Of course, there was no difference if it was under the ground. The feast was on a platform that was thousands of feet above the ground. It was located in the north and took up about a quarter of the entire place. The south was three-quarters of the stage, with a height of three thousand feet.
It was less than an hour before the feast started. Everyone had already taken their seats and were chatting enthusiastically. However, many ninth level heavenly masters would occasionally look at the Ice Fire Union. Until now, there was still only Xu Yunyan and a few others. Everyone couldn't help but frown. Why weren't they here yet?
At this moment, a dark green teleportation array suddenly appeared, and it appeared right behind the Ice and Fire Union's banquet. Immediately, the whole place became quiet. Everyone looked over and saw two figures walk out of the teleportation array.
Liu Yi and Yang Mu.
The teleportation array closed. There were only these two people.
Everyone's heart became heavier. Even the four allies of the Ice Fire Union felt the same. Liu Yi brought Yang Mu to the front of her own feast. Liu Yi bowed slightly to everyone and said with a smile, "I'm late. Please forgive me."
Yang Mu, who was beside her, was slightly shocked. She knew how painful and worried Liu Yi was these days. She didn't expect that she could force herself to smile and completely hide her sadness. She would never be able to do this.
Her emotions were written all over her face, and it also exposed many problems for everyone.
Many sect masters and sect masters stood up and bowed to Liu Yi. At this moment, the sect master of the Heaven Devouring Sect, Mo Ce, spoke.
"Alliance Master Liu," Mo Ce asked, "where did Alliance Master Lu go?"
