The next day, in the afternoon.
According to Chen's confession, they met late at night every time. This way, he would not be easily discovered when he left Sengoku in the dead of the night. Because of this, Lu An came to Sengoku again in the afternoon. When the two guards of the Hachiko clan saw Lu An appear again, they could not help but feel nervous.
Both of them thought that Lu An was going to enter Sengoku to look for someone, but they realized that Lu An did not move forward. Instead, he suddenly turned to look at the two of them.
"The two of you." Lu An went straight to the point. "It's time for me to need your help."
As soon as he said this, the two of them trembled, and their expressions changed. The two of them had been worried about what Lu An wanted them to do. One of them immediately spoke, and even his voice was very unnatural as he asked, "What do you mean?"
"What the two of you can do is naturally to help me let someone go." Lu An looked at the two of them and said, "I have six people who will be leaving Sengoku, excluding the Immortal Master, the Immortal Empress, and the four Immortal Dukes. From now until this time tomorrow."
"Six people? For an entire day? "The other person was shocked and quickly said," Impossible! Six people is too many! "
Lu An turned to look at the person and asked, "Is that so?"
"Of course! Six people can cause a huge commotion outside. If the news spreads, we will be in big trouble! "The person immediately said," Six people is too many! "
Lu An frowned slightly and said, "How many people can you let go?"
"Two people! That's my limit! "The person gritted his teeth and said.
Lu An frowned even more and said, "The son of the Immortal Master can only be exchanged for two Immortal Ministers. Do you think that's reasonable?"
"This is not a matter of numbers at all!" One of them immediately said, "Chen must be going out alone for a secret operation. His whereabouts will not be exposed, and the Hachiko clan will not know about it. If you suddenly bring so many people out, it must be for an operation or a fight. The more people you bring out, the bigger the commotion. This is not the same at all! "
Lu An looked at the two of them. He didn't expect them to be so smart. However, Liu Yi also expected that the other party would say this. Lu An continued, "Since the two of you know that I'm going to take people with me, the more the better. Otherwise, if the operation fails and the enemy escapes, the operation will be exposed."
"…"
The two of them were stunned for a moment, not knowing how to refute.
"I can tell you that there are a total of three enemies in this operation." Lu An said calmly, "Every one of them is very strong, and I don't have the right to fight. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to Sengoku to ask for reinforcements. As for how many people to let out, the two of you can decide. "
"…"
The two of them looked at each other in dismay when they heard this, their faces revealing a difficult expression. Lu An was right. In fact, the Hachiko clan knew that Lu An still had the Celestial Alliance under his control. If it was an ordinary enemy, there was no need to ask Sengoku for help. If what Lu An said was true, then the fewer people there were, the more dangerous it would be.
However, to let out six people, just the thought of that number was enough to make them tremble with fear!
The two of them immediately communicated via divine sense, while Lu An stood at the side without saying a word, waiting quietly. Finally, after a long time, the two of them finished their discussion. One of them turned to look at Lu An, gritted his teeth, and said, "We can only let four people go! Four against three, and with Sengoku's strength, it won't be a problem. This is also our limit! "
Lu An was overjoyed when he heard this. In fact, Liu Yi estimated that they would let three people go. Four people was already more than they expected, but he didn't express his emotions. He said calmly, "Sure."
"But the two of us have another condition!" the person said immediately.
Lu An frowned slightly and asked, "What condition?"
"This is the only time. We won't let you go in the future. Young Master Lu, please don't use this to threaten us again!" the person looked at Lu An and said seriously.
Lu An frowned even more when he heard this. He rejected directly, "Impossible."
"…"
The two people's expressions immediately turned ugly. The other person immediately said, "If you keep asking us to let people go, we'll let so many people go every time. Sooner or later, something will happen. Over the years, if something happens, we'll be punished even more. It's better to expose ourselves now! "
The two of them looked very determined. It was obvious that the two of them were really afraid. They were afraid that they would sink deeper and deeper until they were beyond redemption. Lu An looked at the two of them. Their reactions were somewhat unexpected. In fact, Lu An could have used Chen's communication partner to threaten the two of them. After all, the two of them were considered accomplices if they let Chen go. However, there was a risk in doing so, and it would increase the chances of the two of them turning themselves in.
"I won't always bring people out," Lu An looked at the two of them and said, "At most, twice a year. It could also be the last time. This is my bottom line. If the two of you don't agree, there's nothing I can do. "
"…"
The two of them looked very upset. They looked at each other, and finally, after a few breaths, one of them gritted his teeth and said, "Fine!"
"Thank you, both of you," Lu An said calmly. "I'll go and bring people out now."
With that, Lu An walked toward the interior of Sengoku and headed toward Sheng's courtyard. Looking at Lu An's back as he left, the two people from the Hachiko clan looked a little stiff. They did not know if they had done the right thing.
Soon, Lu An arrived at Sheng's courtyard. Sheng had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Lu An arrive, he immediately invited him into the house and asked, "How was it? How many people did they let go? "
"Four," Lu An said immediately.
"Good!" Sheng was overjoyed when he heard that. This was beyond his expectations. He immediately said, "I'll get four people to come over!"
Sheng left immediately and returned not long after. There were indeed four people standing behind him. Judging from their aura and appearance, they were not young experts, but rather older people.
"These four are Hu, Liang, Ye, and He. They are all experts who have been famous in Sengoku for a long time. Their strength is indisputable!" Sheng introduced them to Lu An. The four of them naturally knew Lu An, so there was no need to introduce him to the four of them.
Lu An looked at the four of them, cupped his hands, and said politely, "Greetings, seniors. Today's operation will depend on you."
After all, Lu An was the husband of the princess of Sengoku. The four of them cupped their hands in return. Hu said, "Don't worry, Young Master Lu. The four of us will definitely take down the enemy today!"
"With the four of you here, I'll definitely be at ease," Lu An said seriously. "Please."
After bidding farewell to Sheng, Lu An and the four of them immediately headed to the border of Sengoku. The two from the Hachiko clan stiffened when they saw that the four of them were going to take action. They were very familiar with Sengoku and naturally knew the strength and status of these four people. They could be said to be second only to the four Immortal Lords.
However, they had already promised Lu An. Since he was already here, it was hard for them to reject him. The two of them could only brace themselves and say, "You must go and come back quickly. There's only one day. You can't delay!"
"Don't worry," Lu An said. "We can only be early, not late."
Hearing Lu An's words, the two of them looked better. Lu An immediately activated the teleportation array and left Sengoku.

In an underground space in the Eight Ancient Continents.
There were only two figures in the huge underground space. They were Yao and Liu Yi. There was no one else. According to common sense, the four Immortal Lords should be invited to the headquarters of the Ice and Fire Alliance to discuss the matter before taking action. However, Liu Yi did not do so. Instead, she chose an outside location. The reason was simple. Other than her family, Liu Yi basically did not trust anyone, not even Sengoku. If there was a spy among the four, or if there was someone among the four who knew the power of space, it would mean that the headquarters of the Ice and Fire Alliance would be exposed. There would be endless trouble in the future.
Compared to the possible danger, directly changing the location of the meeting was obviously much easier. The two of them had just arrived when Lu An left, so they did not have to wait for long. Soon, a teleportation array was activated. Lu An and the four Immortal Lords walked out.
When Yao and Liu Yi saw the four Immortal Lords, they were naturally overjoyed. Especially Yao, she naturally recognized the four of them. With the four of them around, she felt more assured!
"Greetings, Princess!" When the four of them saw Yao, they immediately bowed respectfully. Although their strength was higher than Yao's, Yao's status was different after all. In addition, after Chen's accident, the future Immortal Lord position would basically belong to Yao. It was impossible for them not to understand etiquette.
"Today's operation will have to trouble the four of you." Yao spoke softly. "You all should also try your best to ensure your safety."
"Yes." The four of them replied.
"This matter should not be delayed. Although the meeting time is late at night, if we go earlier, we can hide and not be discovered." Lu An quickly said. "Why don't we depart now? What do the four of you think?"
"No problem." Ye spoke up and said seriously. "We can't wait to kill the traitor!"
