Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Huo Lue flew among the buildings towards the highest palace.
Along the way, many people turned to look at Huo Lue. Huo Lue could no longer differentiate between those he knew, those he didn't know, those who knew the mission, and those who didn't. In his heart, everyone who looked at him was consciously mocking him. It was as if everyone knew that he had failed the mission.
Everyone's gaze made him feel pain from the depths of his heart. This was a complicated pain that also contained a lot of anger.
In fact, three days ago, he had already come here to report that they had failed in the group battle. A total of six people had died in the group battle, and three were seriously injured and were still being treated. In addition, eight of the previous ten people had died, adding up to a total of fourteen people. Even for the Huo Clan, this was a huge blow.
After the arrival of the twenty reinforcements, it was Huo Lue who ordered the two sides to fight, which led to this result. Even if Huo Lue didn't give the order, the two sides would still fight, but Huo Lue was still present, so he had to bear this responsibility.
But fortunately, the higher-ups of the Huo Clan were more transparent. Even though they were very angry about this, they didn't pursue Huo Lue's responsibility too deeply. After giving him a certain punishment, they let him go back to carry out the mission. But the news of Lu An leaving the Immortal Planet had also quickly spread to the higher-ups, which meant that the mission had failed completely.
With Lu An leaving the Immortal Planet as the end, Huo Lue's mission deadline was up, and he had to report back.
Under everyone's gaze, Huo Lue entered the highest palace. He quickly came to a huge door, raised his hand, and knocked on the door with an extremely heavy expression.
Dong dong …
"Come in."
The voice from inside made Huo Lue's heart feel like it had been hit hard. This wasn't done deliberately by the people inside, but by Huo Lue's own emotions.
Huo Lue took a deep breath and pushed the door open.
What entered his eyes was a huge office. He saw a person standing by the window with his back facing Huo Lue. Huo Lue's heart sank when he saw this person. After closing the door, he stopped half a meter in front of the desk and took the initiative to speak. He lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Reporting to Clan Leader … my mission failed."
"..."
For a moment, the atmosphere fell into silence. The person looking out the window didn't speak, while Huo Lue lowered his head and didn't look up.
The atmosphere became more and more oppressive. Finally, after six breaths of time, the person moved and turned to look at Huo Lue.
"On the way here, this is the first time you've been stared at like this." This person's voice was very dull. "It doesn't feel good, does it?"
Hearing this, Huo Lue raised his head and looked at the Elder in front of him. He gritted his teeth and said, "It's not good."
That person sat down and said to Huo Lue, "Tell me about your feelings."
"..." Huo Lue looked at this person. His expression was extremely ugly and self-reproachful. He said, "It's not that I didn't think that I would fail the mission. Although I was obsessed with it, it wasn't that deep. But I never thought that I would be defeated by a traitor. This is … unacceptable. "
"But no matter how unacceptable it is, it still happened. You can't just die because of this, right?" The person looked at Huo Lue, shook his head, and said, "Three days ago, you've already said what you needed to say. The failure of the operation is not entirely your fault. Lu An has many secrets and is different from ordinary people. Accidents can't be predicted."
"I can continue with the mission!" Huo Lue immediately said, "I'm willing to continue chasing after Lu An. Even if there's no one to help me, I can do it alone!"
Seeing Huo Lue's agitated emotions, Huo Lue's eyes were filled with urgency and hatred when he said these words. He was completely different from his usual calm self. It seemed that the failure of this mission had a huge impact on Huo Lue. Huo Lue was a talent, and could possibly enter the Heavenly King Stage in the future. Even if more than ten Heaven Realm experts died, their value was not as high as the appearance of a Heavenly King Stage expert.
"Where's the token?" The person asked.
Huo Lue's body shook. He immediately took out the token from his ring and placed it on the table. Because he knew that once he handed over the token, this mission could not continue.
That was indeed the case.
After the person kept the token, he said to Huo Lue, "You can't kill Lu An on the Immortal Planet. You can't kill him outside, and you can't even find him. Your state of mind has been affected too severely. Stop all missions and adjust yourself first to avoid affecting your future cultivation. "
"..."
Hearing this, Huo Lue's eyes were bloodshot. His eyes were filled with pleading.
"I know you feel very humiliated and unwilling." The person said, "The future is long. One day, you will meet him again. At that time, if you can kill him, all the humiliation will disappear. On the contrary, you will become a hero. Strength is more important than hatred. You have to cultivate well and increase your strength. "
"..." Huo Lue took a deep breath. He knew that the Patriarch had made up his mind. He said, "I don't want to rest. I will go crazy from holding it in! I can not go on missions, but can you give me something to do? "
Seeing Huo Lue like this, the person understood that if he forced Huo Lue to cultivate in this state, Huo Lue would probably go crazy from holding it in. Rather than suppressing it, why not let Huo Lue vent it out properly?
"Alright." The person said, "I order you to be the Vanguard General of the Right. Listen to the command of the frontline commander and go to the battlefield. When the time comes, you will be facing people from the Heavenly Star River. You can vent however you want."
"Yes!" Huo Lue immediately bowed and said loudly.
"The results of the battle three days ago caused many people to be dissatisfied with you. This is also a good chance for you to make up for your mistakes." The person said, "Go. You have always been carrying out missions and rarely show your strength in front of others. This time, let everyone see it."
"Yes!" Huo Lue said loudly again and quickly left!
Seeing Huo Lue disappear, the person sat on the chair and did not move. He frowned. Huo Lue's mission failure had already been known by all the clans in the Spirit Race. Everyone was very concerned about Lu An, especially that clan.
But no matter what, they had already paid with more than ten lives. They had already done what they should have done. Even the casualties that should not have happened had occurred. They had already done enough to answer to that clan. This time, Huo Lue's mission had failed. The other party would not let the Huo Clan help to deal with it.
Who knew … which clan would continue to ask other clans for help, or would they personally deal with Lu An?
If they did it personally, this matter would be much more interesting.

In the Spirit Star River, all the clans had already received news that Lu An had left the Immortal Planet. Naturally, this included … Li Han.
That's right, Li Han's identity was very unique.
Her name was not very famous in the Spirit Race. Only a small number of people and important intelligence personnel in the Spirit Race knew of her existence. However, it did not mean that her status was very low. In fact, her status was very high.
Her status was higher than Fu Yu's. This was definitely not a lie.
She was sitting on a chair, and the information about Lu An was placed on the table. She did not expect Lu An to leave the Immortal Planet so early. It seemed that the Huo Clan's action three days ago had a very important impact.
As a result, many things became even more complicated and confusing.
Unlike others, Li Han had different feelings for Lu An. Of course, this was not the love between a man and a woman. To Li Han, Lu An might become a huge help to the Spirit Race after instigating him. However, Li Han had also set a limit for herself. Once Lu An left the Immortal Planet, it meant that she had failed to persuade him to surrender.
Li Han leaned heavily on the chair. Her beautiful face had a very solemn expression, and her brows were tightly knitted.
At this point, even if she gave herself more reasons, she could not let Lu An live.
Once he left the Immortal Planet, no one could guarantee Lu An's future and growth speed. She absolutely couldn't allow a tiger to grow and become a threat to the Astral Race.
She even regretted it now. If she had known earlier, she would have killed Lu An after Lu An broke through to the Celestial Realm.
However, it was useless to regret. She could only promise that the next time she saw Lu An, she would definitely kill him and eliminate all future troubles.
Perhaps … before killing him, she could persuade him to surrender once and give Lu An one last chance.
Bang!
Li Han slammed her fist on the desk. She did not expect things to come to this point so quickly. It was all these clans' fault for acting without permission. That was why things had turned out this way.
She was somewhat unwilling to accept this.
