Two days later.
During these two days, Lu An had been in the Ice Fire Alliance and had not left. If Lu An was still needed to carry out missions outside the Immortal Planet, Fu Yu would inform Lu An. Although Fu Yu did not say that Lu An could not go to the frontline headquarters to see her, Lu An knew very well that Fu Yu was the Young Master and the frontline commander after all. Not only was she busy, but she also had to pay attention to her identity. If he went there too often, it would definitely affect her negatively, so he would not do so.
Today was the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, and there was less than a month before the New Year. Although this was a holiday set by humans, it had already affected the mystical beasts in the world. After all, the concept of time was calculated by humans, so the mystical beasts would more or less join in the fun. Logically speaking, now that the Galactic War was known to the world and the Tripartite Alliance controlled a large number of powerful races, they should not pay attention to the New Year at this juncture. However, the truth was the opposite. With Sengoku taking the lead, they had actually started preparing from now on.
After all, they had not participated in the war yet, and the various forces and races of the Tripartite Alliance were filled with all kinds of complicated emotions. They needed a feast to wash away the bad feelings, make everyone feel more at ease and happy, and not be too nervous.
More importantly, if they did not do it this year and the Galactic War broke out next year, they would not have the chance to celebrate the New Year with great fanfare. After all … anyone could die.
At this time, Lu An was cultivating in the public area of the private pavilion. Although it was called cultivation, in fact, the improvement that could be achieved through cultivation was extremely limited, or even negligible. He was thinking more about the battle with the Spirit Tribe to see if he had handled it improperly.
At this moment, a figure suddenly entered the room. Lu An turned his head and saw Beauty Yang.
"Master." Beauty Yang looked at Lu An and said softly, "There's news from the Huayue Sect."
Huayue Sect?
Lu An's heart tightened, and he immediately asked, "What news?"
"Li Tang wants to invite Master to the Tripartite Alliance headquarters, but he did not say the details," Beauty Yang said.
Lu An immediately nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go now."
After speaking, Lu An immediately changed the space coordinates around him and disappeared from the private pavilion.

Headquarters of the three forces in the Eight Ancient Continents.
After arriving here, Lu An headed to the Sengoku camp's building. After asking around, he found out which building Li Tang was in. He flew forward, and his spatial perception immediately detected Li Tang's presence. From the outside, he flew directly into the upper level of the pavilion and entered Li Tang's room.
There was only Li Tang in the room.
At this time, Li Tang was sitting on a bench. When he saw Lu An arrive, he got up and said softly, "I didn't expect Young Master to come so soon."
"…"
Lu An didn't say anything for a while. He just looked at Li Tang. Nine days had passed since the incident. At this moment, Li Tang's face was ashen. This was not paleness, because paleness was only on the surface. It was the result of an instant of emotion. Li Tang's emotions had lasted for nine days. This paleness had already seeped into his bones, so it was a dark white color from the inside out. Not only was his face pale, but even Li Tang's mood and tone were also depressed and dispirited.
Although Li Tang had changed the way he addressed Lu An and called him 'Young Master', which meant that he had let go of his hatred for Lu An, this' Young Master 'was very weak and even made one's heart ache.
"How … are you?" Lu An asked.
"My injuries have healed, including my Divine Sense origin." Li Tang instinctively wanted to smile at Lu An, but he couldn't smile at all. He could only say softly, "Have a seat, Young Master."
Lu An and Li Tang sat down together. Looking at Li Tang's appearance, Lu An blamed himself. He immediately asked, "What are you going to do next?"
"I've thought a lot these past few days, and I've also discussed a lot with Li Ran and Li Panxing," Li Tang said softly. "The Flower Moon Sect has become like this. We all know very well how likely it is for them to rise again. Unless … I keep having children with them and pass down the bloodline of a Level Nine Heavenly Master, there is still a chance for them to rise again. But … "
"…"
Lu An looked at Li Tang and felt even more guilty. He wanted to say some comforting words, but they were stuck in his throat and he couldn't say a word.
If he did this, Li Tang would completely lose her dignity.
She, who was known as the 'Cold Moon in the Flower', if she really did such a thing, not only would she lose her dignity, she would even become the laughingstock of the world. Even if a true expert understood Li Tang's sacrifice and didn't think so, Li Tang was still a human and not a beast without thoughts.
Lu An didn't even dare to think about turning Li Tang into a breeding tool.
Li Tang's face became even paler. It was obvious that this was too torturous for her and it was difficult to do. She had been trying to convince herself these past few days, but in the end, she almost drove herself crazy and even cried.
She felt wronged.
She felt extremely wronged.
The conflict between responsibility and ethics made her collapse to the point of wanting to commit suicide several times. She wished so much that she would die like the other clansmen so that she wouldn't have to suffer this kind of torment.
"Miss Tang …" Lu An looked at Li Tang. His heart was filled with guilt, and he could only say these three words.
Li Tang knew that she couldn't lose her composure in front of Lu An. Even if she had already lost her composure that day and let Lu An see her at her most collapsed state. She looked at Lu An and said, "I have a request."
"Say it!" Lu An's heart tightened and immediately said, "I will definitely agree!"
"The result of our discussion these past few days is … Flower Moon Sect will withdraw from the three party alliance." Li Tang said softly. This decision was the opposite of the promise she made, which was enough to show the pressure she was under. "Li Ran and Li Panxing know that I don't want to do such a thing, so they tried their best to dissuade me. The two of them haven't married, and among the surviving elders and disciples, nine of them are women. If they are willing to marry, these women are also willing to marry. But even so, a woman needs time to give birth. If it's too frequent, it will cause serious harm to the woman, so the interval between two births is at least ten years. This means that it will take even longer, and most importantly, no one can die. Because of this, Li Ran and Li Panxing can no longer participate in the war, but once they join the alliance, they can't withdraw … "
Lu An's heart tightened when he heard this and immediately said, "I understand. I will explain this to the Immortal Master and Immortal Empress so that you can withdraw from Flower Moon Sect. I believe that the various sects and factions will understand."
Lu An agreed without hesitation. Although Li Tang wasn't surprised, a trace of warmth flowed through her heart. If Lu An abandoned her after crossing the river because of Hua Yue Sect's decline, she would really break down.
"I know that whether it's the Hachiko clan, Sengoku, or the enemies, they value you so much because they can see that you have the potential to become stronger." Li Tang looked at Lu An and continued softly, "Level 9 Heavenly Masters can live for two thousand years. Once they enter the Heavenly King Realm, it will at least double, or even more. Although I can still live for one thousand nine hundred years, if Flower Moon Sect doesn't recover in two thousand years, I hope that you can continue to protect Flower Moon Sect. At least let it grow without being threatened by the outside world. "
"Okay!" Lu An immediately nodded and said, "As long as I'm alive, I will definitely protect Flower Moon Sect! I will also tell my descendants to do their best to protect Flower Moon Sect! "
Hearing Lu An's promise, Li Tang finally revealed a faint smile. After making arrangements for her funeral, she felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off her shoulders, and she calmed down.
"Li Ran and Li Panxing will be responsible for reviving Flower Moon Sect, and as the sect leader … I must take revenge for those who died." Killing intent gradually appeared in Li Tang's beautiful eyes as she said, "So, I will continue to participate in the three alliance in my own name. If possible … I want to join the Life and Death Alliance. "
Lu An was startled when he heard this. Li Tang's request really surprised him. When he mentioned Flower Moon Sect's retirement, he thought Li Tang would retire as well. He didn't expect Li Tang to continue participating in the battle and even want to join the Life and Death Alliance.
Indeed, if Li Tang participated in the battle as an individual, she would be out of place in Sengoku's camp. However, the Celestial Alliance existed in the Life and Death Alliance, and many of them were hidden experts who joined alone. There was no problem for Li Tang to join.
Moreover, Li Tang wanted to join the Life and Death Alliance, not the Ice and Fire Alliance. If she joined the Ice and Fire Alliance, it might attract gossip. However, if she joined the Life and Death Alliance, there would be less gossip. Lu An was very sensitive to killing intent. He could feel that Li Tang's killing intent was very strong, but he couldn't stop Li Tang from wanting to take revenge. Perhaps, revenge was the only thing that kept Li Tang alive.
"Okay." Lu An said, "I promise you."
