In the conference hall of the Sect Alliance Headquarters.
Everyone who went out had returned. All the participating Level Eight Heavenly Masters were waiting outside the conference hall. There were only Level Nine Heavenly Masters in the conference hall. Of course, other than Lu An and Liu Yi.
Dead silence.
The dead silence here made it harder to see light than the night on the ground.
Just now, Huang Ding handed the paper to Lu An. When Lu An and Liu Yi saw the contents of the paper, both of them became extremely silent. Even Lu An was the same.
To be honest, when many Level Nine Heavenly Masters saw the note, they immediately imagined the scene when Lu An and Liu Yi saw it. They thought that Liu Yi would immediately reject it and Lu An would agree. After all, Liu Yi was Lu An's wife. She wouldn't let her husband take the risk. However, Lu An had a righteous character and was friends with Wang Yangcheng. He would probably take the initiative to save him.
However, a full ten breaths had passed since Lu An and Liu Yi received the paper. Both of them didn't speak. This meant that everyone was wrong.
The reason why Lu An didn't agree was very simple. To put it bluntly, there were more important people to Wang Yangcheng.
He recognized Wang Yangcheng as a friend. However, his family was more important than Wang Yangcheng. The Hidden Sky Sect wanted to meet him alone. They would be very careful. If anyone else appeared, they would immediately kill the hostage. As long as he went, he would be doomed. The Hidden Sky Sect spent so much effort to capture him. They would definitely not let him go. If he died, what would happen to his seven wives?
More importantly … What would happen to Fu Yu?
If he died, who would save Fu Yu?
Fu Yu was locked in the Awakening Gate. Only he could save her. If he died, Fu Yu would be locked in the Awakening Gate. No matter what, he could not use Fu Yu's life to save anyone's life. He would never do such a thing.
The reason why Liu Yi didn't speak was very simple. She knew that Lu An would definitely not agree, so there was no need for her to refuse.
Lu An didn't answer. It didn't mean that he didn't want to save Wang Yangcheng, but he was thinking of other ways to save him. However, after a full ten breaths, the others could no longer wait. The first to speak was not Huang Ding, but Liang Han, who was on the same mission as Wang Yangcheng.
"Alliance Master Lu!" Liang Han took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "I wonder what Alliance Master Lu means? What are you going to do? "
As soon as he said that, everyone's hearts trembled as they looked at the two of them. Liang Han was the Vice Sect Master of the Yin Yang Divine Sect. If they lost Wang Yangcheng, the Yin Yang Divine Sect's strength would be severely damaged. They would no longer be qualified to be ranked among the strongest sects. Of course, regardless of whether it was the elders, disciples, or the three deputy sect masters of the Yin Yang Divine Sect, they were all extremely respectful towards Wang Yangcheng. Although they liked to joke about Wang Yangcheng and often complained about Wang Yangcheng's actions, everyone acknowledged him from the bottom of their hearts.
Liang Han's tone clearly carried a trace of unfriendliness, and everyone could hear it. Lu An raised his head and looked at Liang Han. He didn't avoid Liang Han's gaze. Instead, he took a deep breath and said seriously, "I won't go alone, but I can think of other ways to save him."
When Lu An spoke, he didn't seem to find it difficult to speak. Other than his voice being heavier than before, there wasn't much change. However, Lu An's calmness shocked everyone. Coupled with his answer, everyone frowned.
"Alliance Master Lu, you're not going?" Liang Han clenched his fists and said through gritted teeth.
"I'm not going," Lu An said firmly. "But I'll use other ways to save him."
Bang!
Liang Han immediately slammed his chair and stood up at the same time as the chair shattered. He pointed at Lu An and shouted angrily, "This operation started because of you. What right do you have to not go?!"
Beside Lu An, Liu Yi's expression turned cold. She wanted to say something but was stopped by Lu An.
Lu An knew what Liu Yi wanted to say. With him around, he wouldn't let Liu Yi speak up for him. If anyone had to speak up, it would be him. He said directly, "Sect Master Liang, this operation was carried out after all the sects agreed on it. Before the operation started, we also said that this operation would be dangerous. Could it be that Sect Master Liang thinks that this operation is carried out by the sect alliance for me alone?"
When he said that, everyone was shocked. Indeed, everyone had raised their hands to vote. In order to prevent the Hidden Heaven Sect and the Strange Beast Army from joining forces, the risks should be shared by everyone. Everyone was an adult. Moreover, they were the most powerful people and forces in the human world. It was only right for them to be responsible for their own decisions and not push everything onto others.
To put it bluntly, if the Hidden Heaven Sect wanted the Earth Sect's Sect Master to go alone, would Huang Ding really have to go as well?
"This started because of you alone. Does it have nothing to do with you?" Liang Han was even more furious. His face turned red as he roared, "If you hadn't attacked the Hidden Heaven Sect, how could so many things have happened?!"
"…"
When he said that, everyone's body shook. They looked at Liang Han in shock, then quickly looked at Lu An.
Liu Yi's expression was extremely cold. Her beautiful eyes were filled with hostility. Lu An's expression was still very calm. However, his black eyes seemed to have become deeper.
"When I fought the Hidden Heaven Sect that night, I didn't use any of the alliance's power. I saved eleven people. Nobody blamed me at that time, "Lu An said calmly." Everything that happened during this operation is blamed on me alone. Saving people is a must. However, this is the duty of every member of the alliance. I'm not the only one. "
As he said that, Lu An paused. He then said in a determined tone, "I won't go alone this time."
"…"
Hearing Lu An's words, everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. Lu An's words were very clear. There was no wavering in his tone. On the other side, Liang Han's expression was extremely furious. He never thought that Lu An, who usually looked steady and sincere, would reject him. Moreover, there was no room for negotiation in his tone.
Right at this moment, another person spoke. This person was none other than Zhou Baiqing, whose companion had died.
Gao Chen's body had been sent back to the sect to be dealt with properly. After all, Wang Yangcheng was still alive. However, his companion was dead! His anger was even more explosive than Liang Han's. After hearing the conversation between the two, he immediately stood up and roared at Lu An, "You said that the decision was made together and that it had nothing to do with you. Fine! I admit it! Then let me ask you, you gave me the information that nine people could compete with Zhan Tian's group of four. What do you mean by that? Are you going to say that the eight of us are much weaker than the nine members of your Celestial League? "
As soon as he said that, everyone was shocked. They turned to look at Zhu He and his companions, who were sitting on the other chairs to Lu An's left.
Zhou Baiqing's meaning was obvious. He said that Zhu He had provided the wrong information, which led to the wrong decision and the current situation.
"I didn't say that nine people could compete with them. I said that Zhan Tian's group of four was no match for the nine of us." Looking at the angry Zhou Baiqing, Zhu He said in a low voice, "You were attacked by one person at the beginning. That's equivalent to seven against four. Is there a problem with that?"
"Nonsense!" Zhou Baiqing roared, "They are so powerful that we can't compete with them at all. Even if there are nine of us, we can't defeat them!"
"That's your problem." Zhu He said coldly, "It's not my problem."
"You!!!"
Zhou Baiqing's eyes turned red and he was about to rush toward Zhu He. Zhu He was more powerful than Zhou Baiqing, so he was not afraid at all. Of course, the people around them would not really let Zhou Baiqing attack. Someone immediately stood up to stop him, including Huang Ding.
"It's meaningless to talk about this now. What's important is how to save Wang Chengcheng!" Huang Ding stood between the two sides and tried to persuade them, "Fortunately, we still have three days. We can think of a way! With so many of us working together, we might be able to think of a way to save Wang Chengcheng without Alliance Leader Lu. Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds? "
Huang Ding kept persuading them, and the others gradually agreed. Indeed, it was meaningless to quarrel. If Lu An decided not to go, with Zhu He and his companions and the protection of the entire Celestial League, no one would dare to do anything to Lu An, not to mention that Lu An had the support of the Young Master of the Fu Clan. They could only think of a way to save Wang Yangcheng.
