Liu Yi's words caused everyone's hearts to tremble.
In fact, everyone wanted to know if the Celestial League would participate in this. After all, the Ice Fire League did not have a Level Nine Heavenly Master. However, Liu Yi's words had a completely different meaning. If the Ice Fire League did not participate, it meant that Liu Yi still had a very high assessment of the danger of the Deheng Plains.
However, after some simple consideration, Liu Yi's decision was not hard to understand. The Hidden Sky Sect had wanted to attack Lu An many times, so it was normal for the Ice Fire League not to participate.
Lu An looked at Liu Yi. It was obvious that his wife was more cautious than before. Although he really wanted to participate in this mission, after all, it would give him something to do. However, since his wife had said so in front of everyone, he would not reject her.
After the Fire League, Guang You Sect, and Hidden Sky Sect left, no one took the initiative to cause trouble for Lu An and Liu Yi. After all, everyone had worked together many times, so they were very familiar with the arrangements for the operation. This operation would involve many Level Nine Heavenly Masters and a certain number of Level Eight Heavenly Masters. Therefore, the meeting was decided by all the Sect Masters and Sect Masters, and not the various Grand Elders. The meeting did not last long, and they quickly came up with a preliminary plan for the Deheng Plains.
The plan could not be executed immediately. They had to send people to the Deheng Plains to scout first, and then make some adjustments to the plan before taking action. After the meeting, Lu An and Liu Yi did not return to the Ice Fire League directly. Instead, they went to the Celestial League and told Zhu He about the operation.
Zhu He naturally agreed to this operation. In fact, the previous battle with the Hidden Sky Sect had made the ten of them very unhappy. Losing to four out of ten was simply a disgrace to them. They had been thinking about it for the past half a month. Now that they had a chance to find the enemy, they naturally had to take the lead.
"Don't be reckless this time. You have to be even more careful than last time." Liu Yi looked at the Celestial League members who were full of fighting spirit and warned them, "The Hidden Sky Sect might have already cooperated with the Strange Beast. Don't fight."
Hearing Liu Yi's words, Zhu He nodded and said, "Don't worry, we will definitely prioritize self-preservation."
Since the Celestial League was involved in this operation, there was no need for the people of the Ice and Fire League to attend the meeting. Otherwise, they would have to pass on the message and waste time. Liu Yi asked Zhu He to go to the headquarters of the Celestial League to discuss with those people. After all, these people had already seen Zhu He several times, so they weren't unfamiliar with him.
After Warsky disappeared, Zhu He's strength was definitely qualified to replace Warsky's original position. On the same day, Wang Yangcheng, Huang Ding, Mo Ce, and Zhu He headed to the Eternal Earth Plains to investigate. Because it was just an investigation, there was no need to go too deep. As long as they could reach the edge of the Eternal Earth Plains, they could leave a few teleportation formations in advance and get a general idea of the situation. It would be enough as long as they could confirm that there were no powerful strange beasts in the periphery of the Eternal Earth Plains.
The next day, the four of them returned safely. First, they confirmed the location of the Terra Plains. In fact, most of the Terra Empire was located on the Terra Plains, including the Royal Capital. This country had already been destroyed by the strange beasts' invasion. The four of them left many teleportation formations in the periphery of the Eternal Earth Plains, surrounding the Eternal Earth Plains.
This operation had to be carried out as soon as possible. The goal was to fight for time with the Hidden Sky Sect. They had to react before the Hidden Sky Sect contacted the various strange beasts and attacked the sects. Therefore, on the next day, the Sect Alliance took action. Every sect sent out two level nine Heavenly Masters. Although there was no requirement for the sect leader and sect leader to participate in the battle, every sect leader and sect leader had to participate personally. As for the Celestial League, they sent out a total of eight people. Naturally, Zhu He was involved.
Other than the level nine Heavenly Masters, every sect sent out ten level eight Heavenly Masters. The level eight Heavenly Masters' role was not to fight, but to search. It was very difficult to cover the entire vast Eternal Earth Plains with just level nine Heavenly Masters heading towards the center. The level eight Heavenly Masters' role was to fill in the gaps and search the paths of the level nine Heavenly Masters. They would return to a gathering place every moment. If someone did not return, they would be assumed to be dead. They would also be able to confirm the specific area of the incident.
To put it bluntly, the level eight Heavenly Masters were basically using their lives to search.
Therefore, that night, the Sect Alliance took action.
The darkness of the night was always a natural camouflage, even for level nine Heavenly Masters. Although the perception was strong enough, sometimes it was not omnipotent. One still needed to rely on sight to observe. The darkness of the night could greatly limit the range of sight, bringing a lot of obstacles to observation.
Not only did Lu An not take action, but the other level eight Heavenly Masters also did not take action. They did not even come to the scene of the operation. Zhu He was fully in charge.
Everyone in the Ice Fire League stayed in the League Alliance and monitored each other. No one was allowed to leave the sight of others, let alone leave. Liu Yi's series of actions surprised the Ice Fire League. Even Lu An was the same. He did not expect that Liu Yi would care so much about what he said. Moreover, she cared about it until now. Although he also felt that his actions were a bit too extreme, he would never interfere with his wife's decision. Therefore, he did not say anything.

In the southwest of the Eight Ancient Continents, in the Eternal Earth Plains.
In the darkness of the night, in eight directions of the Eternal Earth Plain, the eight underground teleportation arrays lit up one after another, and people walked out one after another. Twenty-eight sects, each with two level nine Heavenly Masters. In addition to the eight level nine experts from the Celestial League, there were a total of 64 people. Eight areas, on average, had eight level nine Heavenly Masters in each area. The eight people from the Celestial League naturally gathered together and worked together.
In addition to the level nine Heavenly Masters, there were 40 level eight Heavenly Masters in each direction. When they arrived at the location, everyone left the teleportation array in the underground space and immediately started to move.
Sixty-four level nine Heavenly Masters and three hundred and forty level eight Heavenly Masters began to search at a low altitude in the Eternal Earth Plain, trying to avoid spreading their auras. In a place like the Eternal Earth Plain, there had never been so many experts appearing at the same time. Once so many experts appeared, once they started to fight, it would mean a disaster.
Although the Eternal Earth Plain was not small, in the perception of so many level nine Heavenly Masters, it was not that big. The level nine Heavenly Masters' perception went deep into the ground to search for hidden spaces or passages. Unless the enemy was hiding more than fifty thousand feet deep, they would definitely be found out.
With so many experts beginning to search in the Eternal Earth Plain, especially for the level nine Heavenly Masters, it did not take long for them to gather at the center for the first time. The area of the Eternal Earth Plain was slightly bigger than a small country, but it was not far away with the strength of a level nine Heavenly Master.
After two hours, the sixty-four level nine Heavenly Masters arrived at the center of the Eternal Earth Plain. This was under the condition that they searched carefully along the way, otherwise, the time taken would have been even shorter. When the sixty-four level nine Heavenly Masters gathered, all of them shook their heads. The reason was simple, they did not find any useful clues.
The closer they were to the center, the closer the perception of the sixty-four level nine Heavenly Masters was. In the end, their perception overlapped with each other. If the Hidden Sky Sect's hiding place was near the center of the Eternal Earth Plain, the probability of them finding it was very high, but now, they found nothing.
The sixty-four level nine Heavenly Masters gathered together for a short discussion. There were only three possibilities that they could not find anyone. The first possibility was that the Hidden Sky Sect was not in the center of the plain, but in a position further away, so they had not met them yet. The second possibility was that the Hidden Sky Sect was even deeper underground, and their perception could not find it. The third possibility was that the Hidden Sky Sect was not in the Eternal Earth Plain at all. The information was wrong, or the Hidden Sky Sect had changed their hiding place.
The discussion would not yield any results, so they could only continue to search. Immediately, the eight groups of level nine Heavenly Masters split up again and returned to the direction they came from to continue searching. However, the direction was not exactly the same, but slightly different. The eight level nine Heavenly Masters lined up in a row, and the perception of the person at the edge overlapped with the perception of the person at the edge. This way, they could ensure that there were no blind spots in the search.
Then … Here came the question.
Was the Hidden Sky Sect really in the Eternal Earth Plain?
