The hall fell silent again.
All the Faction Heads and Faction Heads looked at Lu An in shock. No one had expected that Lu An would say this! This was equivalent to admitting that he had cooperated with the strange beasts and even allowed them to return to the continent! There was no doubt that these strange beasts were very powerful. Once these beasts entered the continent, they would definitely affect the human's life!
Even if the beasts would only have a small impact, it would still be an impact! The continent belonged to the human race. How could they allow the strange beasts to have a share of it?!
"Are you serious?" Moqi Liang, Faction Head of the Heavenly Strange Sect, immediately broke the silence and asked loudly.
"Of course." Lu An said, "I won't joke here."
"…"
Everyone's expressions became serious. Mo Ce once again asked, "So? Are you forcing us to agree? "
"No." Lu An said, "I'm just telling the truth. I want to persuade you. I'm not the one who is being harsh."
Looking at Lu An's calm face, Mo Ce took a deep breath and asked again, "What if we don't agree?!"
Lu An looked at Mo Ce. His eyes were full of darkness, but it was a calm darkness. As long as he didn't take the initiative to express his position, no one could see the emotions in his eyes. They could only see the abyss.
"I won't give in." Lu An said calmly, "If you don't give in, we can only part ways."
"…"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was shocked!
Part ways!
This meant that the Ice Fire Alliance would withdraw from the Faction Alliance, including the Heavenly Human Alliance. They would have nothing to do with the Faction Alliance!
The hall fell silent again. No one spoke. Everyone knew that the current situation could no longer be controlled by one person. Any word could lead to a huge change in the result.
"Leader Lu, you have a good plan." Mo Ce's voice was very cold. "First, you use the Faction Alliance to protect your own development. After the development, you leave the Faction Alliance. From the beginning to the end, we've been working for you?"
"You must have evidence." Before Lu An could speak, Liu Yi suddenly spoke. She looked at Mo Ce coldly and said, "When has the Ice Fire Alliance not participated in any of the actions of the Faction? On the other hand, when did the Alliance help the Ice Fire League when it was in danger? "
"…"
Mo Ce's face sank when he heard this.
"Not only did they fail to help, they even caused us to fall into danger time and time again." Liu Yi showed no mercy as she said coldly, "First, it was the Karmic Fire Sect, then the Guang You Sect, and then the Hidden Sky Sect. My Ice Fire Union resolved all three crises by ourselves. Even if Zhan Tian attracted a group of dragons, I was the one who took the initiative to die. Did I ask any of you to do anything? Apart from Sect Leader Wang, which of you took the initiative to say that you wanted to stay and fight? Is this the alliance you speak of?! "
"…"
"If our Ice and Fire Union doesn't join the Sect Alliance, not only can we avoid being framed by the three sects many times and suffer a lot less, but we can also live very comfortably. We have the Celestial League and many powerful allies. We have more than enough to protect ourselves. Is it necessary for us to fall into danger again and again? Isn't it all so that we can work together with the sects to deal with the strange beasts invading the continent and let the human race rise again? "
Liu Yi stared at Mo Ce from the beginning to the end and asked coldly, "Now I ask Sect Leader Mo to answer me. What did my Ice Fire Union not do? And what did the Union do for the Ice Fire Union?"
"…"
The large hall became even more silent and oppressive. Liu Yi's tone was not as calm as Lu An's. Instead, it was cold and oppressive, targeting Mo Ce from the beginning to the end.
Liu Yi always knew how to communicate. If she looked around and said these words to everyone, it was equivalent to targeting everyone at the same time. One person's aura was limited. If it was shared among so many people, the power would be much smaller. However, if it was only targeted at one person, the effect would be greatly increased. Mo Ce would be very passive and embarrassed. Mo Ce's embarrassment would stimulate others, making them not dare to speak. It was equivalent to threatening the whole hall.
More importantly, Liu Yi was right. What she said was right.
Mo Ce couldn't open his mouth, let alone answer Liu Yi's question.
For a full ten breaths, the whole hall was silent. After ten breaths, Liu Yi spoke again.
"Since Sect Leader Mo can't say anything after so long, then don't say such nonsense in the future." Liu Yi was merciless, causing Mo Ce's face to turn even more ashen. However, she didn't care. Instead, she looked at the crowd and said indifferently, "Lu An has already said his request and choice. Only the Union hasn't made a choice. Why don't we follow the rules and raise your hands now. If the majority doesn't agree with our request, then we will leave immediately. In the future, we will mind our own business. We will also not cause trouble for the Union and be criticized by others. "
"…"
Liu Yi's words entered everyone's ears clearly, causing everyone's heart to sink. Everyone looked at each other. They were still very dissatisfied and opposed to Lu An's request. However, if Lu An left the Union because of this, they would also find it hard to accept.
Liu Yi had just said that she would mind her own business. In fact, she had already expressed that she wouldn't take revenge on the Sect Union because of this matter. They were also willing to believe her words. However, the problem was that even if this was the case, could the Sect Union not have the Ice Fire Union?
Originally, the hope of mankind's rise was Lu An. Now that Lu An had finally reached the level nine heavenly master level, they could see the dawn of victory. However, they had to give up halfway? If the Ice Fire Union didn't participate in the rise of mankind, then the Sect Union wouldn't be able to compete with the Dragons and the other exotic beasts. They would probably have to live underground for the rest of their lives. After losing the resources on the surface, it was conceivable that the Sect's strength would quickly decline. In a few thousand years, the Sect's strength would be greatly reduced. It would be no different from extinction.
The atmosphere completely froze. This matter was no longer a decision that Mo Ce could make by himself. Neither side was willing to back down on their request. The result was that they would gradually go their separate ways.
Among the crowd, perhaps the only person who didn't care that much was Wang Yangcheng. Wang Yangcheng was a person who cared a lot about the present. He cared more about the exchange with Lu An. As for the relationship between mankind and the exotic beasts after their rise … To be honest, he thought that with the current extent of mankind's destruction, it would take at least a few thousand years to regenerate the population that once covered the entire continent. It was too far away and could be left to the future generations to solve. For their generation, it would be enough if they could regain the initiative of the continent.
Time passed, but the silence was still there. Finally, after a long time, someone spoke.
It was none other than the Earth Sect's Sect Leader, Huang Ding.
Huang Ding forced a smile and said loudly to ease the atmosphere, "Why do we have to make such a fuss on such a happy day? Nothing can be settled in a short time. Why are we in such a hurry? We can talk about it later. Go back and think about it! Let's put this matter aside for now and find a suitable day to talk about it. What do you all think?! "
Huang Ding's words broke the silence. Many people took a deep breath and relaxed a little. More importantly, this time, Lu An and Mo Ce didn't speak. Neither side said anything.
"I'll take your silence as a yes!" Huang Ding said with a smile, "We can talk about it later. Harmony is the most important thing! There are only a few of us left. If we quarrel again, there will be no hope! Why don't we end today's meeting here and talk about it another day? "
"…"
Everyone looked at each other secretly, not knowing what to say. At this moment, Huang Ding looked at the two closest allies, Sect Leader Liang He of the Thousand Towers Divine Sect and Sect Leader Sun Shangjing of the Sky Sect. After the voice sounded in their minds, they hesitated for a moment but still stood up according to Huang Ding's words.
"Sect Leader Huang is right." Sun Shangjing cupped his hands and said, "Everyone is tired today. Why don't you go back and rest? I'll take my leave first."
Liang He looked at Lu An and said, "Among all the sects present, I'm afraid I'm the first to know Alliance Leader Lu. Back in Sengoku, Alliance Leader Lu was still a Level Five Celestial Master. Now that so much time has passed, Alliance Leader Lu, please come to my Thousand Towers Divine Sect to talk about the past."
Lu An smiled. At that time, it was Qi who instigated Liang He's son to attack him and almost killed him. It was indeed very unpleasant. Even though the Thousand Towers Divine Sect had done some bad things after the Ice and Fire Alliance was established, Lu An wasn't a person who cared about it. He stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Okay, Sect Leader Liang personally invited me. I'll be there in the future."
Sun Shangjing and Liang He cupped their hands and said goodbye. It was equivalent to opening the end of the meeting. The others had a way out, so they also cupped their hands and said goodbye.
However, at this moment, someone's eyes lit up again!
"The meeting is finally over, right?" Wang Yangcheng immediately stood up from his seat and looked at Lu An excitedly. "Brother Lu, can we fight?!"
