Whoosh!!
In the central pavilion, a figure instantly appeared. It was Lu An! At this moment, the rest of the Lu Clan were all here. Even Yuerong, Zhu He, and the other core elders of the Ice Fire Alliance were all here. This huge office became crowded. Seeing so many people, Lu An's heart became heavier!
Especially when Lu An noticed Liu Yi's heavy mood, his heart sank! Liu Yi rarely had such an expression. It seemed like something had really happened!
"What's wrong?" Lu An quickly came in front of Liu Yi and asked.
Liu Yi was frowning. She was deep in thought and did not answer. Beauty Yang knew that Liu Yi was thinking about what to do next. She said for her, "Just now, the Sect Alliance sent news that four sects were attacked at the same time. Moreover, it was more than one sects that were attacked!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Lu An's heart shook greatly!
How could this be? Four sects' sects were attacked at the same time? This was definitely not a coincidence! This was most likely a large-scale leak. How could this happen?
"Now, the Sect Alliance has asked all the Sect Leaders and Sect Leaders to attend a meeting. They also want us to go immediately," Beauty Yang said quickly.
Lu An's body shook. He immediately looked at Liu Yi and said, "Then I'll go now!"
"Wait!"
Just as Lu An was about to turn around, Liu Yi immediately spoke and stopped Lu An. Lu An immediately stopped and looked at Liu Yi. He thought that Liu Yi had something to tell him.
"You can't go," Liu Yi looked at Lu An and said firmly, "I'll go."
Lu An's body shook. He quickly asked, "Why?"
"There's no why." Liu Yi looked at Lu An. Her tone was completely irrefutable. This was usually the tone that Liu Yi used to assign tasks to her subordinates. It was also the first time she used this tone with Lu An.
Lu An looked at Liu Yi and was completely stunned. Not only Liu Yi, but everyone else in the room was also stunned. No one knew why Liu Yi suddenly treated Lu An with such an attitude.
"My husband, wait here for my news. I'll send someone back later. I still need my husband to lead the operation." Liu Yi said in a deep voice, "Before that, no one is allowed to act rashly. Otherwise, they will be punished as traitors!"
With that, Liu Yi immediately turned her head to look at Xu Yunyan and said, "Get out of here."
After saying that, Liu Yi immediately raised her hand to open the Teleportation Spell and took the lead to enter. Xu Yunyan hurried to follow her. Shortly after, the teleportation array disappeared from the office. After Liu Yi and Xu Yunyan left, the entire room fell into a dead silence. Although there were so many people standing here, they could only look at each other. They didn't know what to say.
No one could compare with Liu Yi's ability to make decisions, especially in the face of an unexpected situation. Liu Yi must have her own thoughts and decisions. However, she didn't have enough time to explain them. After several breaths, people started to discuss in low voices. They were all guessing why the sect was attacked so suddenly.
Lu An and the six women sat down. The six women looked at Lu An. They wanted to persuade Lu An not to think too much. However, Lu An's eyes were deep and his face was solemn. The six women couldn't say anything.
It was meaningless to think too much. They could only wait here for Liu Yi's news.

March 31st, the last day of March. Midnight.
Somewhere in the underground of the Eight Ancient Continents, the headquarters of the Sect Union.
Twenty-nine leaders of twenty-eight sects and the Ice Fire Union had arrived in the conference hall. Liu Yi's arrival was not considered late. It took a full ten breaths after her arrival for everyone to arrive. However, when the twenty-eight Sect Masters and the Sect Masters found that it was Liu Yi from the Ice Fire Union who had come instead of Lu An, they couldn't help but frown.
It wasn't that they looked down on Liu Yi. On the contrary, they needed Liu Yi to make decisions. However, the problem was that Lu An was the real controller of the Ice Fire Union. In such a big emergency, he should come. Lu An and Liu Yi had appeared together many times. This time, Lu An didn't come, which made many people suspicious.
However, the emergency was more important. No one would waste time on Lu An at this time. The first thing to do was to report the situation. Immediately, the four sects that had encountered the problem reported the situation. They were the Thousand Light Sect, the Strange Sky Sect, the Heavenly Sect, and the Great Sky Sect.
That's right. The four sects that had been attacked were all sects. None of them were from the major families.
In fact, it was normal and understandable. After all, the major families relied on their bloodline inheritance. Moreover, they had high requirements for the purity of the bloodline. Not only did they not recruit disciples, but they also didn't allow outsiders to marry. Therefore, unless they could instigate the internal members of the family, they had no chance to plant a spy in the family. However, it was different for the sects. The sects recruited talents from all over the world. Thus, there were too many chances to sneak in.
Wang Hong, the Sect Master of the Thousand Light Sect, was the first to speak. His face was hurried. "Just now, two of our hiding places were attacked. The casualties were heavy. Less than one out of ten people survived. According to the preliminary calculation, the death toll is at least two thousand! "
Moqiliang, the Sect Master of the Strange Sky Sect, also spoke. "We also have two places that were attacked. I hope the death toll is about one thousand seven hundred. However, many of the exotic beasts in captivity also died or went missing."
Sun Shangjing, the Sect Master of the Heavenly Sect, followed. "We were attacked in an alchemy place. Two hundred people died. At the same time, we lost a large number of alchemy furnaces and materials. These materials accounted for one-fourth of our inventory."
Cheng Zhuo, the Great Sky Sect Master, was the last to speak. He quickly said, "Three of our hiding places were attacked. The death toll is more than four thousand."
"…"
Hearing the words of the four Sect Masters, everyone's heart became heavier and heavier. In the end, it sank to the bottom of the valley. With such a large number of casualties, even if the people who died were not all Heavenly Masters above Level 6, the death toll of eight thousand people was too painful for them.
"Who attacked?" Huang Ding, the Sect Master of the Great Earth Sect, immediately asked, "Was it the three sects or the exotic beasts?"
"It was the exotic beasts." Wang Hong immediately said, "The people who escaped told us that it was the exotic beasts. They didn't see any humans!"
"Same for us!" The other three Sect Masters immediately agreed.
Hearing this, everyone frowned. However, even if no one who defected from the three sects appeared, they were certain that the three sects were involved in providing the information. Otherwise, how could the exotic beasts know the specific locations of so many people at the same time? And at the same time?
"Now, we have two choices." Mo Ce, the Sect Master of the Heaven Devouring Sect, quickly said, "The first choice is to immediately counterattack. The invading exotic beasts shouldn't have left yet. We can go now and take revenge."
"Of course, this operation has risks." Mo Ce paused and said in a deep voice, "It's very likely that the other party has a bigger trap waiting for us. They're waiting for us to attack and catch us all in one fell swoop. The most suspicious thing about the exotic beasts' operation is that they actually left people alive. If the Level 9 exotic beasts attacked, no one should be able to return. This means that the enemy is very likely to take the initiative to do this. Their goal is to lure us out. "
Hearing this, everyone nodded heavily. They also thought of this point. Once the Level 9 exotic beasts attacked, the elders and disciples had no chance of survival. This was very likely the other party's intention.
"The second choice is to strengthen the defense and even immediately relocate in case the exotic beasts launch a follow-up attack." Mo Ce quickly said, "I keep feeling that the exotic beasts' operation is not over yet. We must avoid more losses!"
"Of course, this is just my opinion. Does anyone else have any other thoughts?" Mo Ce quickly said, "Or do the four Sect Masters have anything to say?"
The more unexpected the situation was, the calmer they had to be. These Sect Masters and Sect Masters naturally understood this. The four Sect Masters who were victims did not act on impulse. Without a doubt, this was the best choice.
The four Sect Masters were frustrated and could not think of anything to say. They could only shake their heads. The others all agreed to let the sects relocate. However, among everyone, only one person did not change her mind.
It was Liu Yi.
The Sect Master of the Earth Sect, Huang Ding, immediately noticed this. After all, Liu Yi was very intelligent. He had been observing Liu Yi to see if she had any opinions. Seeing Liu Yi's solemn expression and silence, he immediately asked, "Alliance Master Liu, do you have anything to say?"
The moment this was said, the hall immediately became quiet. Everyone turned to look at Liu Yi, waiting for this woman's opinion.
Liu Yi raised her head and looked around. After hesitating for two breaths, she said, "I suggest … we call all the Level 9 Heavenly Masters here!"
