Half an hour later.
Eight Ancient Continents, Celestial League.
In the underground space, the twenty people who were dispatched had all returned. They were all level 9 Heavenly Masters and the leaders of their respective clans. The clansmen raised their heads and looked at the teleportation in the sky. They realized that all the leaders who returned were panting. Could it be that they had fought in such a short period of time?
The twenty people entered the largest meeting room in the pavilion. Their faces were very ugly, and their eyes were slightly red. There were already two people waiting for them in the meeting room. They were none other than Lu An And Yao.
When the twenty people entered the meeting room, the two immediately sensed the dense aura of death on their bodies. The appearance of this aura immediately made Yao frown.
The twenty people's faces were very ugly. While panting, they tried their best to suppress the restlessness and the desire to kill in their hearts. The twenty people all stood in front of Lu An And Yao. Lu An looked at Yao. Without him saying anything, Yao knew what to do.
Yao raised her left hand. Immediately, the Immortal Staff appeared in her hand. The seven-colored light shone brightly. Immortal energy with a strong holy aura immediately filled the entire meeting room!
"Purify."
Yao said softly. Her voice instantly became ethereal and holy, as if it was the voice of a deity. Immediately, the seven-colored light shone even brighter, enveloping the twenty people!
Outside the pavilion, the clansmen could only see the dazzling seven-colored light erupting from the floor of the meeting room. They had no choice but to turn their heads and close their eyes. The seven-colored light lasted for a very long time. It only stopped after a full fifteen minutes.
The seven-colored light disappeared instantly. However, the people outside the pavilion took a long time to open their eyes. Inside the pavilion, Yao was actually panting. It was obvious that the power just now had made her feel very tired.
Lu An held Yao's hand. Looking at Lu An, he said with a pale face, "I'm fine."
As he spoke, he looked at the twenty level 9 Heavenly Masters in front of him. At this moment, the aura of death on their bodies had been completely expelled. The faint red light in their eyes had also disappeared. The twenty people's emotions had obviously stabilized. The restlessness and desire to kill just now had been swept away.
The disappearance of the negative emotions made the twenty people feel relieved. They all let out a long sigh of relief. Then, they bowed respectfully to Yao and said, "Thank you, Princess!"
The princess of Sengoku was the princess of the world. They would never forget this rule that had been passed down.
Yao faintly nodded, and did not say anything. Seeing that the 20 people had recovered, Lu An said, "Let's call off this mission. I'll go back and think about it."
Hearing Lu An's words, even if the twenty people wanted to say something, no one was able to open their mouths. It couldn't be helped. They knew how agitated they were just now, and it wasn't something that could be suppressed just by showing off. If this continued, he didn't even know what would happen to him. It was very likely that he would end up like those mystical beasts that had lost their minds.

Ice and Fire Union, Eight Ancient Continents.
After Lu An And Yao came back, Liu Yi and Beauty Yang waited in the office. Lu An was worried that Yao would be too tired and wanted her to rest. However, Yao did not want to go. She wanted to have a meeting with the three of them.
Lu An did not insist. After thinking for two breaths, he took a deep breath, looked at the three women and said in a serious tone, "I'll go by myself."
As soon as he said this, the three women were shocked!
The thing that they were most worried about had happened!
Perhaps this was the Hidden Heaven Sect's goal. The dense aura of death would cause the Level Nine Heavenly Masters protecting Lu An to fall into a negative state of mind. They would either retreat and not protect Lu An, or they would fight each other and damage the Celestial Alliance's strength. More importantly, as a member of Sengoku, Lu An would not give up on pursuing the Bloody Mountain Moon Red Stone. As such, it was destined that Lu An would go alone. At most, he would have Yao with him.
"It's too dangerous!" Beauty Yang's voice was filled with panic as she immediately said this.
Lu An looked at Beauty Yang and said softly, "I've done many dangerous things. Ordinary dangerous things are nothing."
"…"
For a moment, the three women did not know how to refute Lu An's words.
Almost everything that Lu An did was extremely dangerous. There were even some things where there was no hope of survival, but he still did them. If compared to these things, such as the trip to the second southern sea region that had just ended, this mission did not seem that dangerous.
However … the result was the same. Once he was discovered by a Level Nine Heavenly Master, he would not be able to escape. The Darkwater Lake was not like the mysterious underground space in the second southern sea region that could restrict the power of a Level Nine Heavenly Master. Even the ground was not as hard as the central continent. Lu An did not have the ability to protect himself and could only rely on not being discovered.
"Even if I don't carry out this mission, I will still go out and find something to do." Lu An looked at the three women, paused, and said seriously and sincerely, "You all know me. You must know that I can't let myself be idle right now."
"…"
Lu An's words once again struck the hearts of the three women.
Yes, they all knew that it was impossible for Lu An to stop now. Even when he was waiting for the return of the twenty people, he had been cultivating with his eyes closed. He really did not want to waste even a breath.
Yao, Beauty Yang, and Liu Yi looked at each other as if they were seeking each other's opinions. After a few breaths, Yao spoke first. She turned to look at Lu An and said softly, "Husband, go ahead."
Beauty Yang and Liu Yi were startled and looked at Yao. Yao's beautiful eyes were filled with worry, but there was not much hesitation.
Lu An looked at Yao and revealed a faint smile. He then looked at Beauty Yang and Liu Yi and said, "After I become a Level Nine Heavenly Master, I will definitely …"
Halfway through his words, Lu An could not continue because there was still a ten-year agreement after he became a Level Nine Heavenly Master. Half of the ten-year agreement had already passed, and he still did not have any capital to challenge the Hachiko clan.
"You all know that I am not a martial arts fanatic. If there were no troubles in the outside world, I would definitely choose to be with you all." Lu An took a deep breath, looked at the three women and said seriously, "When everything is over, I will do nothing and accompany you all every day."
Hearing Lu An's promise, the three women's hearts were touched.
"That's what you said." Liu Yi revealed a smile and said, "At most, it will be fine after a few years. Our lifespans are very long. In the future, you can't regret it because you are bored."
"I definitely won't." Lu An said firmly, "I can't ask for more!"
Looking at Lu An's solemn expression as if he was making an oath, the three women smiled. Yao spoke again and said softly, "Be careful. Try to come back as soon as possible."
"Okay." Lu An stood up and said, "Then I will leave now."
The three women also stood up to send him off. After going through so many things, the three women would not try to persuade Lu An to stay or say anything to pressure him. They just quietly watched Lu An enter the teleportation array and leave.
From the beginning, they had completely given their hearts to Lu An. No matter what happened, they would not regret or retreat.

Eight Ancient Continent, Hidden Heaven Sect.
At this moment, Sect Leader Warsky was talking with the other two Sect Leaders. Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of the door. The door was not closed. The person immediately bowed to the three Sect Leaders and said, "Sect Leader, there is a situation at the Dark Water Lake!"
As soon as the words came out, the three Sect Leaders' conversation stopped abruptly! Warsky immediately turned to look at the Elder and shouted, "Speak!"
"Less than ten miles northwest of the Dark Water Lake, our people saw three Heavenly Masters talking in the air with their own eyes. However, they quickly left through the teleportation array!" The Elder quickly reported, "Based on the speed of the teleportation array and their own speed, the three of them are all Level Nine Heavenly Masters!"
Three Level Nine Heavenly Masters?!
The three Sect Leaders immediately frowned. It was impossible for any sect to send three Level Nine Heavenly Masters at the same time. It seemed that the biggest possibility was the Celestial League!
It seemed that the Celestial League had already taken action!
However … the people of the Celestial League left after arriving at the Dark Water Lake. They did not understand why. Could it be because of the death aura? If so, why didn't they leave earlier?
"Sect Leader, what should we do next?" the Elder asked.
Warsky frowned. After thinking for a while, he said, "According to the original plan, we have to wait for Lu An to appear before we take action. Before that, we cannot act rashly!"
