Lu An looked at King Qi and asked in a low voice, "How strong is this Sky Tiger? Does the Nether Ghost Tribe have the strength to do so? "
"Among all the Level Nine Sky Tigers in my tribe, this one isn't the strongest, but it isn't weak either." King Qi said, "The Nether Ghost Tribe is stronger in the deep sea. After all, they can adapt to pressure, but it's different on land. Our Sky Tiger Tribe rarely enters the deep sea to fight, and according to the other party, the battle won't take place in the deep sea. If the battle were to take place outside the sea, even the Nether Ghost Tribe's leader wouldn't be its match. "
"…"
As expected.
It wasn't that Lu An hadn't seen deep-sea beasts before. Their bodies were usually very weak, not to mention that the Nether Ghost Tribe was made of energy. Lu An asked again, "How many Level Nine experts does King Qi think the Nether Ghost Tribe will need to capture this Sky Tiger?"
"As far as I know, there are no more than eight Level Nine experts in the Nether Ghost Tribe. It should be six or seven. As long as the battle takes place outside the sea, I dare say that even if all of them are mobilized, they won't be able to capture this Sky Tiger. This Sky Tiger is indeed no match for them, but it will definitely be able to escape. " King Qi's voice was cold. After a pause, he said, "Unless the other party set a trap in advance, or … they have other helpers."
Lu An's brows furrowed even more.
Both of these possibilities were extremely abnormal. The Sky Tiger Tribe's reputation was widespread. Even if the Dragons wanted to obtain the dragon bone in Lu An's body, they wouldn't dare to make a move against the Sky Tiger Tribe to threaten Lu An. Once the Sky Tiger Tribe set their sights on a resource territory, even the top tribes would have to give way. How could the Nether Ghost Tribe attack the Sky Tiger Tribe just for territory and resources?
"This is extremely strange." King Qi said bluntly, "That's why I've been waiting for you. Otherwise, I would've brought people to kill them long ago!"
Lu An looked at King Qi. Given King Qi and the Sky Tiger Tribe's temperament, encountering such a situation was simply unbearable. It was already extremely rare for them to be able to hold themselves back until now. But judging from the current situation, it was indeed very strange.
Lu An took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "It might indeed be related to the people who want to kill me. The fact that the Nether Ghost Clan wants to invite you to negotiate means that they are not afraid of you. Once you fall into the enemy's hands, they will use you to threaten me. "
"Then what should we do?" Prince Qi immediately said, "I can swallow this anger, but I absolutely cannot stand by and do nothing to save my clansmen!"
Hearing King Qi's words, Lu An knew that King Qi only had one request, and that was for his clansmen to return safely. This was already Prince Qi's bottom line, but this matter was also very difficult for Lu An.
"Did the other party give a deadline?" Lu An asked.
"Not yet," Prince Qi replied. "But I want to do it as soon as possible."
"Alright." Lu An nodded and said, "I'll go back and discuss it with my family. I'll come back as soon as I have a result. It won't take long."
Prince Qi knew that Lu An was a responsible person. He nodded and watched as Lu An disappeared before his eyes.

Eight Ancient Continents, Ice Fire Union.
After Lu An returned, he immediately reported everything to Liu Yi. When Liu Yi heard this, her brows furrowed, and her expression became very grave.
What she was worried about had happened in the end.
From Liu Yi's point of view, ever since the Spirit Race appeared, the Heaven Tiger Clan had become the Ice Fire Union's greatest security threat. Before the Spirit Race, the Heaven Tiger Clan was so powerful that no one could use them to threaten Lu An. But the Spirit Race was different. Because the Heaven Tiger Clan was unwilling to hide, the Spirit Race could attack at any time. What surprised Liu Yi was that if the Spirit Race was really involved in this matter, they were so cautious that they didn't directly attack Prince Qi. Instead, they captured the Heaven Tiger Clan to threaten Prince Qi.
To tell the truth, this matter had somewhat alerted the enemy. Perhaps the Spirit Race had a deeper consideration that she hadn't thought of yet.
The Heaven Tiger Clan used to be Lu An's biggest helper. But now, they were the biggest threat. Even though they knew the enemy would do this, the Heaven Tiger Clan didn't hide. It was like they had become an accomplice to the enemy to harm Lu An. They had given the enemy a chance to harm Lu An. Anyway, the Heaven Tiger Clan had helped Lu An a lot. Lu An couldn't change the Heaven Tiger Clan's habits. Even if something like this happened, he could only endure it.
The scary thing was that this wasn't the first time. It would happen again and again. Every time the Spirit Race did this, Lu An had to show up. Even if he was lucky enough to avoid it once or twice, the enemy would succeed one time.
Thinking of this, Liu Yi felt very tired.
"Sister Yi, what can we do?" Lu An also had a headache. "Even if we have to solve the problem at hand first."
Liu Yi pondered. After ten breaths, she said, "The biggest turning point of this operation is the Nether Ghost Clan."
Lu An was stunned when he heard this. He immediately asked, "What do you mean?"
"At least on the surface, this operation was carried out by the Nether Ghost Clan and not by the Spirit Race." Liu Yi said seriously, "The Nether Ghost Clan's involvement will be made public. This is a fact that the Nether Ghost Clan can't avoid. There are many reasons why the Spirit Race didn't take action. But there are only two possibilities. Either they don't have enough power or they don't dare to take action. But no matter what, the Spirit Race may not be able to take action. This gives us a chance. "
"What chance?" Lu An asked.
"Force the Nether Ghost Clan to release the people," Liu Yi said.
Lu An was stunned when he heard this.
"If the ten Heaven Tigers are in the hands of the Spirit Race, there will be no turning point. We can only resolve this through battle. But if the ten Heaven Tigers are in the hands of the Nether Ghost Clan, we can force them to release the people, "Liu Yi said.
"But …" Lu An frowned and said, "They even dared to attack the Heaven Tiger Clan. What is there to be afraid of? How can we force them to release the people? "
"It's very simple." Liu Yi said, "Under the temptation of the Spirit Race, they have the guts to challenge the Heaven Tiger Clan. But what if the Dragons are also involved?"
Lu An's body shook when he heard this.
"Don't forget that the Dragons were seriously injured. Although they chose to swallow this anger, this anger will never disappear." Liu Yi said, "As long as we can tell the Dragons that the people who collaborated with the Nether Ghost Clan and attacked the Heaven Tiger Clan are the forces that harmed the Dragons and the other races that day, do you think the Nether Ghost Clan will dare to offend the Dragons and so many powerful beasts in the world?"
"…"
Lu An sucked in a breath of cold air and looked at his wife in shock and admiration. His wife's intelligence was not something he could compare to. He definitely couldn't think of such a plan!
"But this plan is very troublesome and difficult to execute." Looking at Lu An's agitated expression, Liu Yi poured cold water on him and said, "We can indeed release the news to the outside world, but all the races that were seriously injured that day will not easily take action again. Even if they take revenge, it will not be in the short term. Even if we make the matter sound credible, it will still be the same. So the root of this matter is the attitude of the Dragons. As long as the Dragons are willing to appear, even if they don't do anything, just a threat will be a great deterrent to the Nether Ghost Clan. The Dragons' influence can reach the deep sea races. This is different from the Heaven Tiger Clan. Once the Dragons speak, even if the Nether Ghost Clan hides at the bottom of the sea, they will be in great danger. "
"The biggest problem is how to communicate with the Dragons. Whether it is the humans or the Heaven Tiger Clan, it is difficult to communicate with the Dragons. Even if the Dragons know the whole story of this matter, they may very well be happy to facilitate it." Liu Yi said, "After all, among so many powerful races, only the Heaven Tiger Clan has not suffered any losses. The Dragons will be willing to use this matter to dampen the spirits of the Heaven Tiger Clan and us, and even cause us serious casualties."
"…"
Lu An lowered his head and pondered. His wife was right. The Dragons were enemies with him and the Heaven Tiger Clan, so they would not help him. The Dragons could interrogate the Nether Ghost Clan and even take revenge, but they could definitely delay until this matter was over and let the Heaven Tiger Clan and himself suffer heavy losses.
However, although the negotiation was difficult, it was not impossible.
"I will talk to Prince Qi," Lu An suddenly spoke and said in a low voice, "I can offer conditions that will move the Dragons."
Liu Yi was stunned. Even she could not think of anything that could move the Dragons. She immediately asked, "What conditions?"
Lu An looked at Liu Yi. After he said the answer, Liu Yi gasped in shock!
