Rejected!
Once these words were spoken, thousands of Sky Realm experts sucked in a deep breath. This answer was completely within their expectations, but even so, it was still shocking.
Rejecting a challenge in front of everyone, especially from a mortal enemy, would make Chu Yu unable to raise his head for the rest of his life. He might even have to avoid Lu An for the rest of his life.
Hearing Chu Yu's rejection, Chu Hanming's heart sank. Actually, whether they fought or not, the Chu Clan would lose face. Because the moment Lu An asked this question, the result was already decided.
Above the sea of flames, after Lu An heard Chu Yu's answer, his face revealed a rare expression of disappointment.
Lu An even shook his head. Everyone knew that Lu An was someone who rarely revealed his emotions. To do this in front of everyone, he must have done it on purpose to embarrass the Chu Clan.
Obviously, Lu An had achieved his goal. The Chu Clan was indeed in a bad spot. Everyone's face was flushed red from shame.
"Sigh." Lu An sighed and said, "Since young master Chu is unwilling, I will not force you. If young master Chu wants to spar with me in the future, you can look for me anytime. As long as I am free, I will definitely accompany you. "
"… …"
Creak!!
Chu Yu clenched his fists, his fingers digging into his palms and bleeding.
After Lu An finished speaking, the Fu Clan's Sky Realm expert did not want the atmosphere to continue. He took the initiative and said, "Today's spar will end here, everyone please leave!"
As soon as he finished speaking, none of the clans moved.
However, there were still clans that left quickly. This clan was naturally none other than the Chu Clan.
The leader of the Chu Clan immediately used his spatial powers to teleport everyone away from the vast universe. Out of the eight clans, one clan was missing.
After the Chu Clan left, the other clans also left. But even so, they left very slowly. Before leaving, some clans even allowed their Sky Realm experts to go above the sea of flames and personally test the intensity of the sea of flames. Although this sea of flames was not the real Ninth Heaven Sacred Flame, the temperature was enough to make them fearful.
In the end, the Hachiko clan all left. Only Lu An … and Fu Yu were left.
This time, Fu Yu did not leave.
The Fu Clan left, but Fu Yu stayed behind. She descended from the sky to Lu An's side and said softly, "Let's leave this place first."
Lu An nodded and immediately disappeared with Fu Yu.

Heavenly Star River, nameless star.
This was a star that only Lu An and Fu Yu knew about. It was very beautiful. The Fu Clan's frontline headquarters was, after all, a place for official business. It was too formal for the two of them, and this was a world that truly belonged to them.
Lu An and Fu Yu were strolling on the beautiful stars, chatting as they walked.
"Today's battle will definitely spread throughout the galaxy in a very short period of time." Fu Yu's voice was very soft as she said, "The Spirit Race will also receive the news very quickly. They might even receive the news faster than the Heavenly Star River Alliance."
Hearing this, Lu An nodded slightly. He did not doubt the Spirit Clan's ability to gather information. Moreover, he had to let the Spirit Clan know about his sparring with the Eight Ancient Clans. Only then would the Spirit Clan believe that he had not left the Immortal Planet. But in comparison, what Lu An really cared about was … the Heavenly Star River Alliance's reaction when they found out.
Although he had already discussed this with Liu Yi, no one could predict the real outcome.
"The Chu Clan will definitely think of all sorts of ways to salvage the situation." Fu Yu said, "For example, they will announce a lot of fake news about the battle to the public to obscure the truth. For example, you can cheat during the battle by using weapons, armor, or the power of elixirs to prove that the Chu Clan's Fire did not fail. "
Lu An frowned. He had never thought of such a situation. He immediately asked, "What should we do?"
"Ignore it," Fu Yu said. "There's also no need to explain it to the public. Her husband had already won. Anyone with a brain wouldn't believe these rumors. They could see the truth clearly. Husband has already made the Chu Clan lose face and severely damaged the Chu Clan's Fire's position. It might even collapse at any time. By allowing the Chu Clan to barely maintain its last bit of dignity, we can ensure that the Chu Clan will not do anything out of line. Now that we are at war, everything has to be based on the war. We still have to give each other some leeway. "
Lu An frowned and asked, "With the Heavenly Mountain around, would the Chu Clan really dare to fall out with the Heavenly Mountain? If the Chu Clan goes against the Heavenly Mountain's orders, I'm afraid the Heavenly Mountain will not let the Chu Clan off, right? "
"That's true." Fu Yu stopped and looked at Lu An. "But what if something unexpected happens? For example … the Chu Clan surrenders to the Spirit Race? "
Fu Yu's words immediately shocked Lu An. He looked at his wife in shock!
"Surrender to the Spirit Race?" Lu An asked in shock. "How would the Chu Clan dare to do that?"
"There's no such thing as daring or not. Everything depends on the balance of gains and losses." Fu Yu said. "If the Chu Clan really loses a place in the Hachiko clan in the Heavenly Star River, I think the Chu Clan might not be able to accept such a change. The Chu Clan has a fiery temper and is proud. For such a clan, losing a place in the Hachiko clan is equivalent to losing everything. At that time, if the Spirit Race promises to give the Chu Clan a place in the top clans, the Chu Clan might be tempted. "
"…"
Lu An's face was full of shock. He was completely speechless.
"Of course, this is only my guess. Everyone knows what it means to surrender to the Spirit Race. Furthermore, the Spirit Race has the power of death. It is not suitable for the Chu Clan to survive. Unless the Chu Clan is crazy, they will not surrender to the Spirit Race. "
Hearing his wife's words, Lu An did not say anything. He did not expect such a possibility. If he had thought of it in advance, he might have held back today to prevent the Chu Clan from rebelling.
"Not only will the Chu Clan spread rumors, but they will also make a move against you," Fu Yu continued.
Lu An's heart tightened. He said, "They dare to make a move against me?"
"The possibility of them making a move in the open is very small," Fu Yu said. "However, the possibility of them making a move against you in the dark is very high. Previously, the Chu Clan did not make a move against you. They even controlled Chu Yu and Chu Li not to make a move against you because they did not want to make a big deal out of it. The Kang Clan's persuasion also played a part. However, the hatred between the Chu Clan and you has nothing to do with the Kang Clan. Even if they can deceive many people by spreading rumors and make the people of the Heavenly Star River think that the Chu Clan is still stronger, paper cannot contain fire. You are getting stronger and stronger, and the truth is becoming more and more obvious. This matter cannot be concealed at all. Therefore, the Chu Clan must make you lose your life as soon as possible before you become stronger. "
"…" Lu An's brows furrowed. He could only say, "I will be more careful."
Fu Yu nodded lightly. There was not much worry in her beautiful eyes. Not only was it because she had confidence in Lu An, but it was also because the strong always had to suffer hardships. Easy and smooth experiences would not make people stronger, but hardships could. Although hardships could break a person's heart, she knew that her husband was not someone who would be defeated.
Lu An hesitated slightly. However, after some hesitation, he still asked, "This Chu Jin … is he from the Heavenly Mountain?"
Hearing her husband's question, Fu Yu was not surprised. She nodded lightly and said, "Yes."
"…"
Lu An's brows furrowed. His wife's answer cleared his last doubt. It seemed that he was not wrong.
"The clan must be waiting for me to go back for a meeting. After all, the impact of today's battle is too great." Fu Yu looked up at Lu An and said softly, "I will leave first."
With that, Fu Yu tiptoed and gave him a kiss.
Even though they had been married for more than three years, Fu Yu's every move could easily tug at Lu An's heartstrings.
Following which, Fu Yu's figure disappeared. Only Lu An was left on the beautiful star.
Lu An took a deep breath. He forced himself to calm down and disappeared from the star.

Heavenly Star River, Immortal Star, Tripartite Alliance Headquarters.
In Liu Yi's office, the space fluctuated. Following which, a figure walked out of thin air. It was Lu An. However, when he saw the scene in the office, Lu An was slightly startled.
The seven women were all there.
Ever since the seven women sent Lu An off, they had not left. They had been waiting for Lu An to return. Now that they finally saw Lu An return, their hearts trembled. They immediately stood up.
Even though Lu An had returned, they were still worried. Even though Lu An did not seem to be injured, they knew that Lu An would definitely not let them see him injured.
"Husband, are you injured?" Yao Yao asked worriedly. Her gentle voice was filled with anxiety.
"I am fine." Lu An smiled and said, "I was slightly injured in the first battle. I am not injured in the second battle."
