Ceng Ping's sudden appearance and panic made Lu An and the seven girls nervous. Especially the seven girls who had interacted with Ceng Ping for a long time. They knew that Ceng Ping was a very strong woman who rarely lost her cool. In addition, she was trustworthy, which was why Liu Yi had given her the task of communicating with the Life and Death Alliance.
For Ceng Ping to be in such a state meant that something had happened!
"What happened? Speak! "Liu Yi said immediately.
"It's the Dripping Moon Clan!" Ceng Ping quickly said, "The Dripping Moon City in the Outré Prefecture has been attacked!"
As soon as she said that, Lu An immediately stood up! This was because he had just returned from the Outré Prefecture. Although he had not been to the Dripping Moon City, he was still shocked that something like this had happened!
"When?" Lu An asked.
"Just now!" Ceng Ping quickly said, "The Dripping Moon Clan was almost destroyed. Fortunately, they retreated in time and were prepared in advance. The casualties were not too serious!"
Hearing this, Lu An and the seven girls were slightly relieved. However, Lu An quickly asked, "Where are they now?"
"They're all on the Life and Death Island!" Ceng Ping immediately said.
Liu Yi immediately looked at Lu An and said, "We have to go!"
Lu An was stunned. He had wanted to go alone. After all, it was very dangerous to leave home. However, he thought that with Si Xing and Si Mian around, nothing would happen. He nodded and said, "Okay."

The Life and Death Island.
A teleportation circle appeared in the middle of the huge island. Then, two figures walked out of it. It was Lu An and Liu Yi.
Dazzling light entered their eyes. This made Liu Yi instinctively close her eyes and turn her head away. However, she did not do the same to Lu An. His dark eyes seemed to swallow all the light. He could clearly see everything in front of him and around him. When he saw everything clearly, his frown deepened.
The reality was even more serious than he thought.
Normally, unless the Dripping Moon Clan did it deliberately, they would not emit such dazzling light even if they reverted to their original form. Coupled with the fact that the energy around them was fluctuating wildly, it was enough to prove that these Flowing Moon Clan members were injured, causing the energy they had gathered to leak out. On the other hand, the Flowing Moon race's body was too special. They were made of pure energy and were completely different from almost all other races. Under such circumstances, even Liu Yi's healing ability was useless.
Fortunately, the Flowing Moon Clan had their own recovery ability. As long as the degree of injury did not reach an irreversible stage, they would be able to heal themselves. In this aspect, they were stronger than most humans and exotic beasts, and they would not suffer from internal, external, or hidden injuries.
After Lu An looked around, all he could see were energy bodies. It was hard to tell where Si Xing and Si Mian were. Fortunately, two streaks of light soon appeared in front of him and Liu Yi, followed by another. The three streaks of light quickly transformed into human figures, all of them emitting the aura of the Ninth Step.
They were Si Xing, Si Mian, and Si Jian.
Si Jian and Si Chang were the other patriarchs of the Flowing Moon Clan. However, they had already merged with the Flowing Moon Clan that Si Xing belonged to and were now led by Si Xing. Si Chang's absence made Lu An's heart tighten. He hurriedly asked, "How's the situation?"
The three of them looked very serious. Si Xing said in a low voice, "Fortunately, we escaped quickly. Otherwise, Si Mian and I would have died there. Si Chang is injured, and the casualties of the other clansmen are still being calculated. It's not a lot, but it's not a small number either. "
Lu An's heart sank when he heard this. He asked, "How did this happen? Who attacked us? "
"…" Si Xing looked at Liu Yi, then at Lu An. He said, "It was the Dragons."
"…"
Lu An gasped. His body shook violently as he looked at Si Xing in shock.
"Fortunately, Alliance Master Liu told us to be prepared to escape if we were attacked." Si Xing's voice was very serious. He said, "If we were not prepared, I'm afraid we would have been wiped out by now."
When Lu An heard this, he hurriedly looked at Liu Yi. Liu Yi had already adjusted to the light. She looked at Lu An with a frown and said, "I did warn you in advance. Our last operation failed and caused Warsky to escape. We lost three Level Nine Heavenly Masters. It's equivalent to reaching the end of the road. Warsky, who is fighting alone, is very likely to collude with the strange beasts, especially the Dragons. Once they work together, it's very likely that he will tell the Dragons about this matter. That night, Si Xing and Si Mian flew across the sky. Even if Warsky thought that they were shooting stars or flowing lights, the Dragons might not. "
"Can the Dragons attack the Flowing Moon Clan with just flowing lights?" Lu An's heart tensed up as he asked.
"Indeed, they can't." Liu Yi said seriously, "This is also the reason why the Dragons only made a move after more than ten days. They will definitely investigate. Don't forget that the Flowing Moon Clan has two other clans outside. They can easily find these two clans, and these two clans know about your close relationship with the Flowing Moon Clan. From this, it's not difficult to deduce that the Flowing Moon Clan is cooperating with us. "
"…"
Indeed, when Si Xing was looking for a husband for his daughter, he had helped Si Xing defeat the other two Flowing Moon Clans led by Si Bian and Si An. He was the one who appeared in public, and these two clans had seen him. Lu An immediately scolded himself for his intelligence. He didn't even consider such a thing. This time, the mission to rescue Wang Yangcheng had failed. Instead, it had implicated the Flowing Moon Clan who should not have been implicated!
The Flowing Moon Clan had suffered many casualties. Coupled with the destruction of the Flowing Moon City, it was equivalent to the efforts of the two clans being destroyed.
Lu An's face was burning. He looked at Si Xing and did not know what to say. An apology could not make up for any loss at all. More importantly, with his current strength, he could not pose any threat to the Dragons. Anything he said would be empty words.
"I …" Lu An looked at Si Xing, Si Mian, and Si Jian. After struggling for a few breaths, he could only say guiltily, "I'm sorry …"
"You don't have to apologize. We're not children." Si Xing looked at Lu An and said seriously, "Actually, I'm very angry. If the previous mission was for the sake of the Life and Death Alliance that led to today's attack, I would not have any complaints. However, I'm angry because we were attacked by strange beasts because of the humans. Do you understand what I mean?"
"This is not the reason why we joined the Life and Death Alliance." Si Mian opened his mouth and said in an equally serious tone, "However, we've already acted for the humans twice and caused such serious consequences."
"…"
Lu An was speechless. Liu Yi, who was beside him, said, "I understand. I promise that I won't ask you to do anything related to the humans in the future."
Si Xing and the other two looked at Liu Yi. They all knew that Liu Yi was the real decision-maker. Liu Yi's words were more effective.
"The other two clans have entered the Eight Ancient Continents," said Si Jian. "But we haven't entered yet. It will be harder to enter in the future."
Lu An was shaken. He knew that he had promised the other two clans that he would enter the Eight Ancient Continents earlier. Moreover, the other two clans had to join Si Xing's team to enter the Eight Ancient Continents. However, the situation was the opposite now. The other two clans had entered the Eight Ancient Continents, but they were still outside. The Dragons had attacked them, so they didn't dare to enter the Eight Ancient Continents. They even had to hide when they were living in the sea.
"Believe me. This situation won't last long." Liu Yi opened her mouth again, talking seriously. "We'll always remember the Flowing Moon Clan's contribution. The situation in the Eight Ancient Continents isn't stable. It's just temporary. Don't forget about the Hachiko clan. They have never said that they won't come back. When they come back, all the strange beasts that have invaded the continent will suffer, but we won't. At that time, we can enter the Eight Ancient Continents. That's the real long-term plan. "
Liu Yi wasn't good at scheming. She was also good at communicating. She knew how to control her facial expression and intonation. She could even say the same thing in different situations. Moreover, she could make the other person trust her. This was Liu Yi's ability. Si Xing's team looked at Liu Yi. Although they frowned, they didn't say anything to refute her.
They had sacrificed a lot for the Life and Death Union. To gain Lu An's trust, they had to pay more. As things had come to this, even if they had to leave the Life and Death Union, the Dragons wouldn't let them go. More importantly, Si Xing didn't want to leave. She believed in her initial judgment, especially when Lu An's pair of dark eyes appeared.
Si Xing looked at Lu An's eyes. She didn't know why, but his eyes were more persuasive to her than Liu Yi's words.
"I'll handle it myself." After several breaths, Si Xing talked to Lu An and Liu Yi. "I also hope that we can win soon."
