Lu An was indeed underground.
He had set up the Scorching Nine Suns in the sky for a reason. Part of it was to have the Scorching Nine Suns explode and cover the entire battlefield, turning the ground into a sea of flames.
However, Lu An's main goal had not been achieved. He had originally planned for the ten Spirit Tribe cultivators and the nine Chu Clan cultivators to begin fighting once they arrived, while he hid underground and waited for an opportunity. During the battle, someone would definitely be knocked to the ground or take the initiative to enter the ground. Once someone entered the ground, that would be his opportunity. He could cooperate with the Chu Clan cultivators underground and defeat the enemy one by one, gradually gaining an advantage. However, he had not expected the Chu Clan cultivators to choose to retreat instead of fighting with the Spirit Tribe cultivators.
He had no choice but to appear again and lure the enemy back. This time, he no longer had any hope that the nine Chu Clan cultivators would turn back and attack him.
It would be best if the nine Chu Clan cultivators could pursue him, but if they couldn't, he was prepared to fight on his own.
When he had cooperated with the Gao Clan and fought against the Spirit Tribe cultivators, he knew that he could not win one-on-one in a long-range battle, let alone against ten Spirit Tribe cultivators. These ten Spirit Tribe cultivators were almost as strong as the first Spirit Tribe cultivator, so Lu An had very little room to maneuver around.
However, even though Lu An wanted to test his limits, he would not treat his life as a joke.
The Spirit Tribe cultivators dove into the sea of flames from above. Just this step alone was enough to put them under great pressure. If these flames were the Universe Piercing Poison Flames, they would have only dared to use their blood-red robes to pass through. However, these raging flames caused them to form an even larger barrier of death around them, reaching a height of a thousand feet.
Because of the flames, they could not sense what was going on underground. However, as long as they passed through the sea of flames and entered the ground, they could use their senses to search for Lu An's location.
However … …
Boom!!
When the ten Spirit Tribe cultivators dove underground, they were shocked to find that the ground was also covered in flames. It was also a sea of flames!
Yes, the ground had been severely damaged, and the rocks underground had been destroyed long ago. There were many cracks in the ground. The flames had filled up all of these cracks and covered an extremely large area, almost as large as the sea of flames! Most likely, most of the Nine Heavens Sacred Flames had been pressed into the ground by the explosion. However, the Nine Heavens Sacred Flames were still burning fiercely!
How could this flame be so strong?
In fact, that wasn't all. Lu An had been releasing flames everywhere underground. Just releasing a sea of fire consumed very little of Lu An's energy. He could even release it continuously from afar. In the entire Hachiko clan, only the Li clan's Lifeless Divine Wind could compete with Lu An's flames in terms of endurance. The other seven clans could not do it. However, even though the Lifeless Divine Wind was extremely durable, it couldn't last for too long, unlike the Sacred Flame, which could burn for a very long time.
Because of the large amount of flames, the ten Spirit Race cultivators had no choice but to forcefully release the power of death to resist the flames. However, the problem was that it was not easy for the death energy to extinguish the Nine Heavens Sacred Flame. In comparison, the Nine Heavens Sacred Flame could easily burn the death energy. The Spirit Race clansmen had to release a greater amount of death energy to suppress the Nine Heavens Sacred Flame. Furthermore, it would be too troublesome to continue searching like this. After some thought, the Astral captain made a change. He immediately blew up a portion of the ground!
Even though the nine Spirit Race clansmen had not received the order, they knew very well that no one other than the captain would dare to act without permission. They immediately followed suit and blew up the ground. Very quickly, they had blown up all the ground covered by the Nine Heavens Sacred Flame. Even so, they still couldn't find Lu An. They could only continue to chase downward.
The ten Spirit Race clansmen could not keep on blowing up the ground. Because of the gravity of the planet, rocks would still fall down. They could not support too many rocks. Furthermore, as they went deeper and deeper, even though they were still quite a distance away from the planet's core, once they reached a certain depth, they would not dare to act recklessly. Otherwise, if the planet was destroyed, they would die without a doubt.
Lu An naturally would not chase after them. He had indeed descended from the Sacred Flame and rushed into the ground. However, he quickly used spatial teleportation and moved very deep underground. He waited there quietly. If the Spirit Race clansmen really did come, he believed that it was very likely that they had already scattered. He only needed to face one of them.
If he fought here, the weight of the ground would severely reduce the space for him to fight. This would give him a great opportunity to engage in close combat. Of course, that would depend on whether or not the Spirit Race clansmen would give him that opportunity.
The place Lu An had moved to was outside the range of the Sacred Flame. This meant that it was very likely that he would run into one of the ten Spirit Race clansmen on the periphery. Furthermore, he was not standing on the ground. Instead, he was hiding in the secondary space. He was betting that these Spirit Race clansmen's spatial abilities were not very strong. The range of their spatial perception was not as wide as the range of their physical strength perception. When their physical strength perception swept past him, he would be able to sense the changes in the spatial energy and confirm that he had encountered them before the Spirit Race clansmen.
After a while, Lu An, who had been waiting in the secondary space, even thought that his plan had failed. Just as he was about to move to the battlefield to check on the situation, a wave of energy suddenly swept past the connection between the secondary space and the real world. Lu An's eyes narrowed.
They're here!
Even though Lu An was calm, he was still very worried. This was because he did not know how many people were coming. If there was only one person, then it would be fine. However, if there were more than one, then it would be troublesome.
As it turned out, there was only one person.
However, this Spirit Race clansman was very cautious. As he descended to investigate, he simultaneously released his physical strength perception and spatial perception to ensure that he did not give Lu An the slightest chance. Therefore, when the two sides were about two thousand feet apart, his body immediately trembled as he sensed that there was a spatial anomaly!
However, he did not dare to confirm whether his perception was correct, so he immediately attacked. Once he arrived, he directly attacked the location two thousand feet away!
Then … …
Boom!!!
Suddenly, a thousand foot tunnel was blasted open in the ground by the power of death, and it immediately swept past two thousand feet! Just as the attack was about to hit, a figure suddenly appeared out of thin air and dodged to the side!
There was someone!
Lu An!
The Spirit Race clansman immediately sucked in a breath of cold air. Even his entire body was numb! He did not expect to find Lu An, and he did not expect to actually find Lu An! However, he did not hesitate. He immediately attacked with all his strength, completely disregarding the consumption of his energy as he attacked Lu An!
Rumble!!!
Immediately, there was a huge tremor deep in the ground. However, this place was too far away from the surface. Although the ground was shaking, this Spirit Race clansman could not overturn more than ten thousand miles of land. Even if he continuously attacked underground, the compression of the sealed space would still cause him to suffer a great deal of damage. However, this Spirit Race clansman did not give up. As he focused on sensing Lu An, he continued to attack Lu An.
If they were fighting on the surface, Lu An would have a hard time dodging these attacks. However, they were deep underground, and the power of the earth was very strong. His defenses gave him a lot of room to dodge. In addition, this Spirit Race clansman was the same as the one Lu An had killed before. He continued to attack from a distance and did not engage in close combat. This gave Lu An a great opportunity.
This Spirit Race clansman would expend a lot of energy attacking underground. Lu An was not in a hurry. He could first expend some of this Spirit Race clansman's energy and then counterattack when he was tired. If other Spirit Race clansmen arrived to support him, he could just teleport away. As long as he was underground, he would have a lot of room to maneuver.
However … …
The true danger had only just appeared. This time, the danger was different from all the others. To Lu An … … it was a real danger.

Some time ago, the Spirit Race clansmen and the nine Chu clansmen had just fought for a few breaths. On this planet, in a place very far away from the battlefield.
A blood-red teleportation array suddenly opened, and then … … eleven figures walked out one after another.
Walking out of the Door of Death, they were all Spirit Race clansmen!
Among them, the ten Spirit Race clansmen were extremely powerful. They were all at the top of the Heaven Realm. With the strength of these ten people, they could easily kill the nine Chu clansmen. The nine Chu clansmen would not even have a chance to resist or escape. After all, the gap between the Heaven Realm and the Heaven Realm was too big. No technique or technique could make up for it.
Of course, this was the same for Lu An. If he were to encounter these ten people, he would end up the same way.
The other person's strength was not high. He was about the same as the ten Spirit Race clansmen chasing Lu An, but there was a huge gap between him and the ten Spirit Race clansmen beside him. They should not be in the same team.
In fact, they were not in the same team. The weaker Spirit Race clansmen did not belong to the team of ten Spirit Race clansmen chasing Lu An. They were Spirit Race clansmen who were on a mission alone.
And this was Li Han's arrangement.
Ever since she accepted Lu An's cooperation with the Gao clan, she ordered all the teams to be made up of eleven people instead of ten. The one person added to the team was not to fight. He had to hide. Once he discovered Lu An, he had to report back to headquarters as quickly as possible. Headquarters would then send experts to capture and kill Lu An.
This was Li Han's trap.
In Lu An's mind, the Spirit Race clansmen's captain would let them leave the battlefield and report back to headquarters. So when Lu An confirmed that there were ten Spirit Race clansmen and no one left, he would not leave the battlefield and continue to fight the Spirit Race clansmen. The eleventh person used this time to report back to headquarters and send real experts.
The eleventh person knew where the battlefield was and immediately led the ten Spirit Race experts there. At this moment … … they had already arrived at the battlefield, at the original city.
Lu An had not left. He was still fighting the Spirit Race clansmen in the distance.
