Within the Milky Way, outside the Central Stream of Stars.
Two hundred thousand feet underground, in the Spirit Race's liaison office, there was a deathly stillness.
The person in charge here, Huo Zhiqiao, Huo Lue, and Huo Lue's subordinates were all present. However, none of them spoke, and the atmosphere was very tense.
The reason was simple: Huo Dan had not returned.
Today was already the eighth day. Seven days had passed. The most basic requirement for Huo Lue's subordinates was to strictly abide by the time requirements. They absolutely could not violate the mission time, let alone Huo Dan.
Huo Dan definitely would not disobey orders. In other words, something had happened.
It was very likely that Huo Dan had been captured by the enemy or had died. Huo Lue was not worried that the enemy would be able to get anything out of Huo Dan. He was very confident in Huo Dan's loyalty, but even if Huo Dan did not say anything, the enemy might be able to find some clues.
Huo Dan's failure not only meant that he had lost an important subordinate, but it also meant that he had alerted the enemy again.
Huo Dan's failure had, to be honest, really exceeded their expectations.
"Boss." One of them asked tentatively, "What should we do next?"
"The plan remains the same. Follow the plan, "Huo Lue said in a low voice," but we will delay the final execution until he lowers his guard. "
"Yes." The person immediately said.
Not long after, everyone left the office, leaving only Huo Lue. Huo Dan's death was not a serious injury to him, but unfortunately, Huo Dan had not been able to send back any information. In battle, information was the most important. The only meaning of Huo Dan's death was to tell him that a reckless assassination would not work and that he had to take things slowly.
If … if he really could not kill Lu An in the end, he would personally take action.

Two hours later, in the Heavenly Tiger Territory.
Lu An's figure arrived in the underground space, still very cautious. He only appeared after observing that there were no abnormalities in the surrounding space. The enemy was very likely to use his carelessness after his victory to attack again. Lu An would definitely not make such a careless mistake.
Lu An released his aura from the tunnel, which was immediately sensed by King Qi on the ground. King Qi immediately moved, quickly entering the underground space through the tunnel and arriving in front of Lu An.
Seeing Lu An's normal state, King Qi hurriedly asked, "How are your injuries?"
"I'm completely fine," Lu An said with a smile.
Hearing Lu An's words, Prince Qi finally let out a long sigh of relief. His heart, which had been hanging in the air for three days, was finally at ease. During these three days, she blamed herself very much. She wanted to go to the Ice Fire Union but didn't dare to.
"What about Prince Qi's injuries? Is there a problem? "Lu An asked.
"I'm fine." Prince Qi shook his head and said, "You really scared me. Next time, even if I'm in danger, I won't let you take action."
Lu An's smile grew even wider when he heard this. He knew that Prince Qi was very concerned about him, but he couldn't just stand by and watch as Prince Qi was in danger. After confirming that Prince Qi was fine, Lu An had another purpose in coming here.
"By the way, did that person leave behind a corpse?" Lu An asked.
"No." "When I rushed in to save you, I didn't sense his body. It might have been shattered into too many pieces."
Hearing Prince Qi's words, Lu An couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. If that person still had a corpse, there might still be some information. At the very least, that person's interspatial ring could be left behind. There might be some key information inside.
"However, I went back many times in the past three days to see if I missed anything. The sea there isn't too deep. It's only about 13,000 feet deep. I can still withstand it, "said Prince Qi.
Lu An's heart trembled when he heard this. He immediately asked, "Prince Qi, did you find the interspatial ring?"
"I didn't." Prince Qi shook his head and said, "During the battle, even the seabed was tumbling. Even if there was an interspatial ring, it's very likely that it was buried underground. It's too difficult to find it. At least, I didn't find it."
"… …"
"However, I found his weapon," said Prince Qi.
Lu An was startled when he heard this. He immediately thought of the pair of scythes. Prince Qi opened his interspatial ring and immediately took out the weapon.
Lu An took the scythe. Even now, it was still emitting a large amount of death energy. The scythe felt heavy in his hand. Just from the feel of it in his hand, he knew that it was definitely a high-quality weapon.
"This weapon is very strong. It's even tougher than my claws," said Prince Qi seriously. "This weapon doesn't match the enemy's strength. I don't believe that the enemy could be so wealthy. This enemy's status is probably not low."
Lu An nodded. He naturally trusted Prince Qi's judgment.
"Take a look at the bottom of these two weapons," Prince Qi continued.
Lu An was startled. He immediately lifted the bottom of the two scythes. He immediately discovered that there were two extremely complicated patterns engraved at the bottom of the handles.
More accurately, they were more like words.
The bottom of the two scythes were engraved with exactly the same words, but Lu An didn't recognize them. After all, the Spirit Race had a completely different civilization from the human race. Lu An didn't know the Spirit Race's language.
He didn't know if Sengoku had any books on the Spirit Race's language. If they didn't, he would have to wait for Fu Yu's next visit.
"Take this weapon back and slowly study it. I don't like its aura. If you put it in my ring, it will affect other things," said Prince Qi.
Lu An nodded and put the scythe into his ring.
"Does the Dragons know that I've been injured?" Lu An asked.
"They shouldn't know," said Prince Qi. "I didn't tell them. Even my people don't know that you've been injured."
"That's good." Lu An nodded. He was worried that an accident so quickly would affect their cooperation and make the Dragons think that the enemy was too strong. Cooperation was best done slowly. There was no need to rush.
Lu An asked Prince Qi about the details of the battle. After learning that the enemy had used so many defensive tools, he returned home.

Eight Ancient Continents, Icefire Union.
When Lu An's figure appeared out of thin air in the office, his body shook.
Not only were the seven women in the office, but more importantly … Fu Yu was also there!
He had just been thinking about Fu Yu. He didn't expect to see her here when he returned. This unexpected surprise made him extremely happy. He immediately walked in front of Fu Yu and said excitedly, "You're back!"
Who else could it be but Fu Yu? She was wearing a light blue robe and had an appearance that surpassed the seven women.
The seven women all stood up. When Lu An walked in front of them, Fu Yu also stood up gently. She was also very happy to see Lu An.
However, Fu Yu didn't express herself like Lu An did. Instead, she asked directly, "I heard that you've already fought with the Spirit Race people twice?"
Lu An was stunned when he heard this. He looked at the seven women and saw that their expressions were a bit awkward. If they didn't hide anything from Lu An, then the only person who could make them do the same was Fu Yu. They didn't dare to lie to Fu Yu.
Whatever Fu Yu asked, the seven women could only obediently answer. Even Liu Yi was the same.
"That's right." Lu An nodded lightly and said, "Only twice."
The seven women had already told Fu Yu the general story, but Fu Yu wanted to hear the details, especially the battle. In order to not worry the seven women, Lu An didn't mention the difficulty of the battle. It was meaningless to say it, and it would only make the seven women more worried. However, Fu Yu was different. Through Lu An's description, Fu Yu could deduce many things.
"I want to hear the process of the battle," Fu Yu said.
Lu An was stunned. He knew that the process was very valuable, but the seven women were here … … After thinking about it, Lu An didn't have any reason to let the seven women leave. He could only describe the process of the two battles in detail in front of the seven women.
Last time, when he fought with the Spirit Race people, it was the golden energy that saved his life.
This time, when he fought with the Spirit Race people, Lu An described the opponent's techniques, weapons, and defensive equipment. When Fu Yu heard about the battle, her eyebrows gradually knit together.
"You got his weapon?" Fu Yu asked. "Take it out and give it to me."
Lu An immediately took out a pair of scythes from his ring and handed them to Fu Yu. Fu Yu didn't care about the death energy that was constantly emitting from the scythes and directly held them in her hands.
"There seems to be some words under the weapons," Lu An immediately said. "Take a look."
Fu Yu lifted the bottom of the weapons. The seven women looked at it. It was indeed a strange pattern that they didn't recognize.
However, Fu Yu's starry eyes suddenly became incomparably serious.
Lu An looked at Fu Yu's reaction and immediately confirmed that Fu Yu recognized the pattern. He quickly asked, "What is this?"
Fu Yu raised her head, her starry eyes filled with disbelief and seriousness. After a full two breaths, she said, "Huo."
