Lu An's words caused the entire hall to fall silent.
No one spoke, and no one applauded. Lu An's words were too shocking, completely beyond everyone's expectations.
Lu An had said that he would work hard to shoulder his current position and become stronger in the future, reducing the number of casualties.
These words … … Even the Immortal Master had not said them, so how could Lu An dare to say them? Could it be that Lu An really thought that he could affect the entire war by himself? Not to mention a large effect, even a small effect was not something that a single person could do, right?
Even the seven women were somewhat stunned as they looked at their husband in the air. They saw that their husband's emotions were very calm when he said these words, as if nothing had happened. From the looks of it, something must have happened in the 30 minutes he had spent with his wife to cause such a change in him.
That's right, Lu An had said these words because of Fu Yu.
Fu Yu viewed him as a candidate to become a Divine Realm cultivator, so Lu An had completely changed his goal. Furthermore, he had already attracted enough attention. The Heavenly Mountain and the Spirit Race were both watching him, so there was no need for him to hide his ambitions. No matter what he did, he would not be able to change the current situation. It was better for him to completely reveal his goal and let all the people and beasts in the world know.
Lu An did not want to give himself pressure by announcing his goal to the outside world, because Lu An did not care about the opinions of others. The real pressure came from Lu An's expectations of himself. As for why he had said these words … … Lu An did not immediately understand.
Perhaps he wanted to learn from Fu Yu and become stronger and braver, that was all. In the past, he had been too quiet. It was time for him to show a different side of himself.
Lu An did not mind the silence. Instead, he raised the wine cup in his hand, smiled, and said loudly, "This toast is to future victory in advance."
After saying this, Lu An downed the wine in his hand.
When everyone saw this, they also raised their wine cups and downed the wine. Then, they saw Lu An return to his table. Although there wasn't a single round of applause throughout the entire process, everyone's view of Lu An had changed because of what had just been said.
To the outside world, Lu An's image had always been that of a man of few words. He rarely communicated with the outside world, and every time he appeared, his strength would grow a lot. He had the image of a low-key genius. This time, although Lu An's words did not change his previous image, there were some new ones.
At the very least, it made everyone understand that Lu An was a very ambitious person. However, it made sense. If he didn't have ambition, how could he have cultivated so quickly and become such an expert in a short 22 years?
After the three of them finished speaking, the ceremony began again. The real grand performance had only just begun. Amidst the magnificent and experienced performance, everyone quickly regained their enthusiasm. They did not even remember what Lu An had said.
At this moment, at the table where Lu An and the seven women were seated.
The seven women didn't look at the performance in the field, but looked at Lu An. Liu Yi asked Lu An curiously, "What did Madam say?"
"Yes, she said something." Lu An smiled. He knew that he couldn't hide it from the seven women, but he didn't say much. Instead, he said, "By the way, I have a task to do after the ceremony."
The seven women's hearts tightened when they heard this, including Yao. Beauty Yang asked, "What task?"
"I don't know. She hasn't said it yet." Lu An shook his head and said, "You will know when you go."
"Madam didn't say … that we should go too?" Yao also opened her mouth and asked softly.
"No." Lu An was a little embarrassed. He scratched his head and said, "She only said that I should go."
"…"
Immediately, Yao, Beauty Yang, and Liu Yi were a little disappointed. Yao wanted to go out again, and Beauty Yang and Liu Yi, who had not gone out yet, were naturally looking forward to it. However, without Madam's permission, none of them could move, even if they already knew the spatial coordinates of the outside world.
"There will always be a chance." Lu An looked at the three women's disappointed look and could only comfort them, "You will always leave earlier than others."
The three women knew that they couldn't pressure their husband, so they nodded gently and didn't say anything.

Time passed, and three days later.
Lu An didn't go back on his words. During these three days, he had indeed accompanied the seven women. Even if the seven women felt tired sometimes, he would always accompany them when they returned to the Life and Death Union to rest, instead of taking the opportunity to cultivate. He said that he wouldn't cultivate during these three days, so he would definitely accompany the seven women.
Of course, this was a rare opportunity, so there was no lack of love. He even spent the last day completely at home.
Three days of rest was a time that Lu An had never experienced before. After three days, Lu An even felt a deep sense of guilt. He felt that he had lost a lot of time. However, he adjusted his mentality and didn't let such thoughts bother him.
After the ceremony ended, Lu An's time with the seven women naturally came to an end as well. He bid farewell to the seven women. From the start to the end, he didn't mention the dangers that might exist in this mission. There was no need for the seven women to worry.
"I'm leaving." Lu An said to the seven women in front of him, "Don't worry and wait for my return."
The seven women nodded. Lu An didn't stay any longer and immediately disappeared through the spatial transfer.

Heavenly Star River, Fu Clan's frontline headquarters.
On the top floor of the central pavilion, a spatial ripple appeared. Fu Yu looked over and saw the person she was thinking of.
Lu An saw Fu Yu and was very happy. He walked forward and said, "I'm here."
At this moment, the surrounding walls weren't transparent, so Lu An didn't have to worry about being seen from the outside. He could boldly walk over to Fu Yu and get closer to her. Of course, Lu An wouldn't do anything here. Even if he wanted to, even if he was a little affected by the three days of indulgence, this wasn't the right place.
Fu Yu's starry eyes were very bright. She could even see a trace of desire in Lu An's dark eyes. Fu Yu's heart was beating a little faster and her face was slightly red. However, even though she couldn't control her body's instincts, she could control her expression very well. She didn't allow herself to show too much.
"There's a mission." Fu Yu actually said something unnecessary. She said, "Do you want to hear it?"
Lu An was startled. He was here because of the mission Fu Yu mentioned. He didn't know why she was asking again, but he still nodded and said, "Yes."
Fu Yu quickly organized her thoughts and forced herself to calm down. She even overdid it, causing a trace of coldness to appear in her starry eyes. She said, "The mission this time is the Demon Disaster Water."
Demon Disaster Water?
Lu An was clearly startled. He looked at Fu Yu in astonishment.
"Yueni has already told me about you going to the Tian Ji Clan to find the Demon Disaster Water." Fu Yu said, "When I was negotiating with the Tian Ji Clan, I helped you ask around. The Tian Ji Clan has already told us about the Demon Disaster Water."
Lu An was startled again. Actually, when Gao Chen said that she didn't know about the Demon Disaster Water, he was also suspicious. However, he couldn't ask her directly. He didn't expect Fu Yu to ask about it.
"Where's the Demon Disaster Water?" Lu An immediately asked.
"There's no specific information. He only heard about the Demon Disaster Water from a member of a force." Fu Yu said, "This force is called the 'Dark Fiend Group'. It's on a star called the 'Black Tomb Star'."
Dark Fiend Group, Black Tomb Star.
Lu An heard these two names that he had never heard of before. After memorizing them, he immediately said, "Where is it? I'll pay a visit! "
"The Dark Fiend Group isn't an ordinary force. The Black Tomb Star isn't an ordinary star either." Fu Yu said, "The Black Tomb Star is a very famous black market in the galaxy. There's a lot of illegal goods circulating there. There's no lack of very expensive treasures. All of them are stolen goods. The people doing business there are naturally evil people who burn, kill, and plunder."
Lu An heard this and immediately frowned.
A famous black market in the galaxy?
Using a star as a black market? It seemed like the scale of this black market was very large. All the evil people in the galaxy were doing business there. The level of complexity of the people was probably unimaginable.
"This Dark Fiend Group isn't a simple force either." Fu Yu took out a stack of information from the table and handed it to Lu An. She said, "This is the organized information. It contains some information about the Dark Fiend Group. The Dark Fiend Group isn't weak. They have at least 15 Heaven Realm experts. The strongest person has already reached the limit of the Heaven Realm. "
