In the large conference room on the top floor, only four people sat in a circle and looked at each other.
The four of them were dressed differently. The two who had arrived first were dressed the same, and the two who had just sat down were dressed the same. Clothing was one of the important ways to distinguish a race, power, or rank. It was obvious that the four of them were divided into two groups. Judging from the state of the four of them, there was no difference in rank. It was obvious that they were talking to each other at the same level.
The two who had just entered were surnamed Huo.
The taller of the two was Huo Zhang, and the shorter one was Huo Gui. Both of them held high positions in the Huo Family and were definitely not to be underestimated. The other two had more special identities, so their auras were even colder and gloomier.
Huo Zhang spoke first. Today's matter was not about himself or the Huo Family, but about the power represented by the two people in front of him. He asked in a low voice, "Brother Yuan Zhi, you came specially this time because of that matter, right?"
"That's right," the person called Yuan Zhi said in a low voice.
"Indeed, no one expected things to develop to this point," Huo Gui said. "There are too many variables in the world. I didn't expect something unexpected to happen."
Upon hearing Huo Gui's words, the fourth person, called Yuan Yu, who had been silent all this time, said, "Things are indeed far beyond our expectations. I didn't expect someone to still be alive on the Immortal Planet."
"Not only did he not come back, but he also fought fiercely with the enemies on the Immortal Planet." Yuan Zhi's voice was even more gloomy as he said, "The son-in-law of Sengoku and the Fu Clan is much more popular than us on the Immortal Planet."
Yuan Zhi's voice was extremely cold. He was not joking at all. In fact, it was filled with boundless killing intent. The three people who heard this could not laugh at all. Instead, they felt extremely cold.
In fact, this matter had already embarrassed the Ling Clan.
The news about Lu An could not be hidden. Even the higher-ups of the Ling Clan and the Hachiko clan could not hide it. Although the news had not spread widely, there were already rumors on the frontline battlefield. During the battle, some members of the Hachiko clan said that some of the Ling Clan members had already surrendered to them. This was a sensible action, but it was obviously to shake the morale of the Ling Clan.
There was nothing he could do about it. It was too embarrassing.
It would have been fine if that was the case, but more importantly, this person was Lu An. More importantly, Lu An actually had the sacred fire!
These were the real reasons why Lu An had to be killed. Otherwise, it would not be a big deal if an ordinary member of the Spirit Tribe had surrendered to the Immortal Star. In fact, the Spirit Tribe might even take the initiative to publicize that their own clansmen had hooked up with the princesses of Sengoku and Fu Clan at the same time. This would be a huge slap to the Immortal Star's face. But because of these two reasons, not only could they not do that, they had to kill this person as soon as possible!
Because of this, someone from the Ling Clan had already gone to the Immortal Planet to kill Lu An. For example, the previous operation had already been approved by the Huo Clan, but unexpectedly, it had failed and one person had even died. Even though a single life was nothing to the Astrals, the fact that even this person had failed made the mission much more difficult.
No matter what method Lu An had used, a failure was a failure. If he failed this time, it was highly likely that he would fail the next time if he did not increase his strength.
However, the Spirit Tribe would definitely not dare to send a Heavenly King Realm expert to the Immortal Planet to kill Lu An. It did not matter if Lu An's identity was worthy or not. Once a Heavenly King Realm expert appeared, he would definitely be sensed by the Heavenly Gods on the Immortal Planet. Once a Heavenly God made a move, there was no way to escape. Only the aura of a Heavenly King Realm expert could avoid being detected immediately. Therefore, this operation could only be carried out by a Heavenly King Realm expert.
"What is the purpose of your visit this time?" Huo Zhang did not beat around the bush and asked directly.
"You also know that it is not convenient for us to take action. We still need the Huo Clan's help," Yuan Zhi said in a deep voice. "Our clan leader hopes that this matter can be resolved as soon as possible. The sooner the better, especially when Lu An has left the Immortal Planet and joined the battle."
Hearing this, Huo Zhang and Huo Gui took a deep breath and looked at each other.
The other clan leader …
It had always been the few of them talking. This time, it was finally the other clan leader who spoke?
Although the previous conversation had to be approved by the clan leader and the results had to be reported to him, the meaning of the conversation was very different. This meant that this matter could not be delayed any longer and had to be resolved as soon as possible.
"Okay." Huo Zhang nodded and said, "We understand."
"As long as this matter is resolved, we will definitely not let you do this for nothing." Yuan Zhi continued, "The relationship between the two clans will become closer and we will also give you a very generous reward."
Hearing this, Huo Zhang and Huo Gui both nodded. The other clan had always been generous. There was no doubt about this. It was also because of this that the Huo Clan had been cooperating with them for a long time.
"Don't worry. Since the clan leader has spoken, we will definitely do our best to resolve this matter as soon as possible. We will not delay it." Huo Gui said seriously, "Just wait for the good news."
"In that case, we thank the two of you in advance."
Yuan Zhi and Yuan Yu thanked them and chatted for a while more before getting up and leaving. After watching the two leave, Huo Zhang and Huo Gui looked at each other and took a deep breath.
Just like what they had promised, since the clan leader had spoken, the significance of this matter had changed. It had become a matter of great importance. The two of them immediately called in the subordinate guarding the door and said, "Call Huo Lue back."
As soon as they said this, the subordinate was stunned and said, "But … Huo Lue is out on a mission and has only been gone for less than four days."
"It's fine. Tell him that all his missions have been terminated and that someone else will take over." Huo Gui said in a deep voice, "There is a more important mission for him to do, so he must come back immediately."
Hearing this, the subordinate immediately realized the importance of this matter and immediately said, "Yes!"

Time passed bit by bit. A full 12 hours had passed.
It was still on the same planet, but in an office in another pavilion, Huo Zhang was studying all kinds of information in his hands. At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Knock knock knock."
Huo Zhang put down the paper in his hand and looked up at the door in the distance. He said, "Come in."
The door was pushed open and a figure walked in. He walked to the center of the room and stopped in front of the desk. He said respectfully to Huo Zhang, "Sir."
This person was none other than Huo Lue.
He was neither tall nor short, and his face was ordinary. He did not even have a strong aura or concept. On the surface, he looked no different from an ordinary person. Even his voice and tone were very ordinary.
"How have you been? Have you encountered any difficulties? "Huo Zhang asked.
"Sir, no," Huo Lue said seriously.
Hearing Huo Lue's words, Huo Zhang smiled in satisfaction. Huo Lue was one of the younger generation that the Huo Clan had focused on nurturing. The Huo Clan valued him very much, and Huo Lue had never disappointed them. Huo Lue's personality had been very steady since he was young. What was even more terrifying was that ever since he entered the Heaven Realm to carry out missions, he had carried out more than 200 missions so far. Among them, there were at least 40 extremely difficult missions, but he had never failed a single one. Not only had he never failed, but he had never even delayed the completion of his missions. This was something that had never happened before in the entire Huo Clan. It had also greatly extended the original record.
Whether it was Huo Lue's strength, personality, or experience, he was one of a kind among the Heaven Realm experts in the Huo Clan. Among the Heaven Realm experts in the Huo Clan, Huo Lue's strength could be ranked in the top five, or even higher. In addition to Huo Lue's performance of never failing, leaving this matter to Huo Lue was the best choice. In other words, if even Huo Lue could not succeed, then the other Heaven Realm experts in the Huo Clan would not be able to succeed.
"I have a mission for you," Huo Zhang said. "You don't have to worry about anything else. You just have to carry out this mission wholeheartedly. Finish it as soon as possible."
Huo Lue frowned when he heard this. He had always carried out multiple missions at the same time. After all, a single mission to gather information would take a long time and waste a lot of time. Having multiple missions commanded and carried out by him at the same time was more suitable for his own requirements. This time, he was actually only carrying out one mission. He did not feel the slightest bit careless or relaxed in his heart. Instead, he immediately realized the importance of this mission.
"Sir, please speak," Huo Lue immediately said.
Huo Zhang's expression was serious. He knocked on the table, pushed a stack of papers forward, and said, "Lu An."
