In fact, this was something that many people were worried about.
If the nature of the Ice Fire Alliance changed, Lu An And Yao's strength would gradually become stronger. In addition, they had the Fu Clan and Sengoku behind them. This meant that no other sect would be able to compete with the Ice Fire Alliance. No matter what, the Hachiko Clan and Sengoku were existences that transcended the world. Even before they retired, they rarely participated in the management of the world and sects. They didn't even need tributes from the sects. However, the Ice Fire Alliance was different. The Ice Fire Alliance truly existed among the sects and would have a huge impact on the world and the sects.
Now that Liu Yi had made such a promise, although it was just a verbal promise, it more or less made everyone feel at ease. Liu Yi promised to delegate power, which meant that the Lu Clan wouldn't exist in the form of a sect in the future. It was more likely that they would retire. As for the Ice Fire Alliance that had lost the Lu Clan, even if it still existed, it would be useless to the sects.
Everyone's worries were answered. The Ice Fire Alliance also proposed a way to counterattack the strange beasts. Furthermore, the Ice Fire Alliance would solve the problem, allowing everyone to see hope for the future. Even though they had been hiding underground for less than two years, compared to the previous days, they were already tired of it.
"There's finally hope!" Xuanchong Sect's Sect Master Ge Yang couldn't help but say, "We can finally return to the surface to live!"
Hearing Ge Yang's words, although everyone didn't express their opinions, they all had the same thoughts in their hearts.
However … at this moment, Lu An suddenly spoke.
"We're already so tired after less than two years." Lu An's voice was very calm. "What about the strange beasts that were chased into the ocean?"
"…"
In the hall, everyone's body trembled as they immediately looked at Lu An!
Even Yao Yao and Liu Yi were the same. The two girls didn't expect Lu An to say such words at this moment! Especially Liu Yi. It wasn't that she didn't think about telling the sect about this in advance, but she didn't think about it now!
Everyone looked at Lu An in shock. For a moment, they didn't even understand what Lu An was saying. But soon, some people understood that Lu An was clearly speaking up for the Mystical Beast!
Immediately, many people frowned, including Mo Ce, the Sect Master of the Heaven Devouring Sect. He immediately asked Lu An, "What does Alliance Master Lu mean?"
Since he had spoken, Lu An naturally had to say what he wanted to say without hiding anything. He looked at Mo Ce and said calmly, "After the Eight Ancient Eras, 10,000 years ago, and 3,000 years ago, everyone here knows about the war of the sea. The Hachiko clan slaughtered all the powerful exotic beasts on land, and many of them were forced to flee to the ocean. The land mystical beasts found it difficult to adapt to the sea environment, and they also needed to fight with the sea mystical beasts, which led to the extinction of many mystical beasts. The surviving mystical beasts mostly lived in seclusion, and their lives were very difficult. I think all of you know this. What we're experiencing now is actually the same process that these land beasts went through 10,000 years ago. The only difference is that we only have two years, while they have more than ten thousand years. "
"…"
After hearing this, the Sect Masters and Sect Masters frowned even more. They did not reflect on Lu An's words but became even more suspicious. At first, they did not understand the meaning of his words, but now, it was obvious that Lu An was on the mystical beasts' side and speaking up for them.
"Alliance Master Lu, do you mean that we're at fault?" Mo Ce frowned and said coldly, "The disaster that the world is facing now is our own fault?"
"You can say that." Lu An looked at Mo Ce without hesitation and said, "If the Alliance of Sects had the strength of the Hachiko clan, what would they do to the mystical beasts that occupied the continent?"
"Is there a need to ask?" Gao Ting, the Sect Master of the Nine Swords Sect, immediately shouted, "Of course, we'd kill them all!"
"…"
Everyone trembled, and the light in their eyes wavered slightly, but they soon became firm again!
"Humans are humans! Mystical beasts are mystical beasts, no different from livestock! " Moqi Liang, the Sect Master of the Mystical Sky Sect, immediately retorted loudly, "How can the mystical beasts be compared to us?!"
Lu An looked at Moqi Liang. He knew that what Moqi Liang said was basically the common thought of all humans. No matter how powerful the mystical beasts were, they were livestock that were not humans. However, how many people had thought about the reason for this?
"If it weren't for the Hachiko clan, would Sect Master Moqi be qualified to say this?" Lu An looked at Moqiliang, whose face had turned red because of anger. His mood did not change because of Moqiliang's anger. Instead, he said calmly, "Look at the situation now. We are all sitting here, but the animals are living under the scorching sun?"
"…"
Moqi Liang looked at Lu An and immediately clenched his fists!
"The Hachiko clan drove away the mystical beasts and allowed humans to occupy the entire continent. They've subtly influenced humans to think that they're in a high position, unique, and fundamentally different from other races." Lu An said calmly, "In fact, this is all because the Hachiko clan gave humans the illusion that they're very powerful. It's only the Hachiko clan that's powerful. Look at us without the Hachiko clan now. If we're talking about who's the superior race that can dominate the continent, then the superior race should be the dragons, not us. "
Hearing Lu An's words, more people's faces turned solemn and even livid. If someone else had said this, it was very likely that many people would have turned hostile!
Humans were the same as mystical beasts? Humans were inferior to mystical beasts? This was simply scolding them!
"The Hachiko clan is also human!" Mo Ce opened his mouth again and retorted heavily, "A comparison should be more comprehensive, and we can't abandon any one of them. Just like how sects compete with each other in terms of strength, the competition is also at the highest level! The existence of the Hachiko clan has proven that humans are much stronger than mystical beasts. Humans are the overlords of the entire continent! "
Hearing this, Lu An nodded slightly and said, "I admit that humans are stronger than mystical beasts. What I want to talk about is hatred. After we take back the continent, if we completely expel the mystical beasts, there will be a day when the mystical beasts will launch a counterattack against us. The grudges will never end. "
"There will always be grudges in this world!" Mo Ce said sternly, "There will never be a way to eliminate grudges!"
"But perhaps we can reduce the degree of grudges." Lu An said.
"At the cost of allowing mystical beasts to live on the continent?" Mo Ce's face turned purple as he shouted, "Then I'd rather have the greatest grudge and continue to fight the mystical beasts to the death until one side is destroyed!"
"…"
This time, Lu An didn't say anything. He just looked at Mo Ce calmly. The entire hall was silent.
Everyone kept looking at Lu An and Mo Ce. Without a doubt, most of them were unhappy with Lu An's words. However, Mo Ce's tone was already very fierce, even a little too much. It made people worry about the harmony in the alliance.
After a few breaths of time, the Earth Sect's Sect Leader Huang Ding finally spoke up to calm the atmosphere. He smiled and said to the two, "What is this? What is there to argue about? Everyone should be happy today. Plus, brother Lu has broken through. Everyone should be happy! "
"Then Sect Leader Huang should ask him!" Mo Ce immediately looked at Huang Ding and said sternly, "Saying these words right after breaking through, could it be that you have some ulterior motives? Why don't you make things clear now, in case the problem gets worse in the future. In the end, no one will be able to get out of the embarrassing situation! "
"This …"
Huang Ding's head hurt. He didn't think that his attempt to mediate would fail. Mo Ce wasn't someone who would back down easily. From his expression, it was obvious that he was really angry this time. But it was no wonder. After all, the commoners were all slaughtered. Allowing mystical beasts to live on the continent? This was indeed an impossible matter.
"Alliance Head Lu." Huang Ding looked at Lu An helplessly and asked, "Let's make things clear. Everyone sitting here is a family. Don't misunderstand each other. It wouldn't be good if we misunderstood a problem that didn't exist. "
Hearing Huang Ding's words, everyone looked at Lu An. Even Yao and Liu Yi beside Lu An did the same. Even Liu Yi was nervous. She didn't have any warning at all. In such a short time, it was impossible for her to fully consider the pros and cons of saying everything.
However, Lu An didn't want his wife to make the decision for him. Instead, he made the decision himself.
"There are a few mystical beast clans that are my friends." Lu An faced everyone's questioning gazes and said calmly, "I promised them that I would let them return to the continent to live."
With these words, everyone sucked in a cold breath and looked at Lu An in shock!
