"Is there a need for that?" someone immediately retorted. "Who in their right mind would use war as a training ground? Besides, what if the Spirit Race really did kill Lu An? Wouldn't that make the Spirit Race feel better? "
"I wonder what secrets Lu An has that they value him so much," someone else said. "The Hachiko clan definitely knows about Lu An's secrets."
Everyone nodded in agreement with this point of view. In their opinion, Lu An must have some powerful secret or power. Even if the Spirit Race could not obtain it, the Hachiko clan, who was protecting Lu An, would definitely know.
However …
At that moment, someone suddenly spoke up, waving his hand to interrupt everyone. "Don't mention him to me. Just hearing the surname 'Lu' annoys me."
"… …"
Everyone was stunned. They looked at each other, but no one said anything. Indeed, this surname belonged to one of the top clans in the Spirit Race. Just this fact alone was enough to make them uncomfortable. As the saying went, acknowledging one's ancestors all depended on one's surname. If even one's surname was an enemy, then no one would believe that Lu An was absolutely loyal.
Discussions broke out everywhere. Everyone was talking non-stop.
Behind the northern platform was a building. In this building, the higher-ups of the Hachiko clan were all seated. In the largest meeting hall, the Hachiko clan was seated in eight different positions. There was only one Heaven Tier cultivator present, Fu Yu.
Everyone present was waiting for the Spirit Race to begin the battle. Unlike the discussions outside, this place was very quiet. No one from the Hachiko clan spoke. Even if they did, they did so in low voices and only used their divine sense to communicate. This place was very quiet. Many people were resting with their eyes closed.
After a long time, someone suddenly spoke up and asked, "Young Master Fu, may I ask where Lu An is now?"
Such a voice suddenly appeared in the quiet meeting hall. Everyone was shocked and turned to look at the person who had spoken.
The person who had spoken was the Heavenly King cultivator of the Kang Clan, Jiang Que.
Fu Yu's eyes had been closed the entire time. When she heard the voice, she slowly opened them. When her starry eyes appeared, the entire room seemed to become bright and spacious.
When Jiang Que saw Fu Yu looking at him, her eyes made his heart turn cold.
If there were only members of the Kang Clan present, Fu Yu wouldn't even bother to answer. However, the other six clans also looked at Fu Yu, and Lu An's matter was not considered her personal matter. Right now, most of the people were protecting Lu An, and hoped that Lu An could grow up as soon as possible. Therefore, Fu Yu did not refuse to answer and said, "I've arranged for him to stay in a safe place. You don't have to worry."
Everyone nodded in agreement. This was the best course of action. Jiang Que took a deep breath and said, "In other words, he will not participate in this battle?"
"Hmm." Fu Yu simply replied, not paying much attention to him.
Seeing Fu Yu's attitude, everyone present knew that if they continued to ask, they would only be asking for trouble. As a Heavenly King Stage cultivator, it was impossible for Jiang Que to keep asking a junior. The reason why he asked this question was because he did not want Lu An to die.
At this point, many of the Kang Clan's Heavenly King Stage cultivators had already gotten over it, and Jiang Que was one of them. At first, they were against letting Lu An return to the Kang Clan, and they did not think that Lu An was willing to return to the Kang Clan. However, they now knew that it was unrealistic to kill Lu An. Moreover, even if Lu An did not want to return to the Kang Clan now, it did not mean that he would not want to return in the future. There would always be a chance.
The atmosphere in the meeting hall fell silent again as everyone waited quietly.

One day later.
Spirit Galaxy
Just an hour ago, most of the Jiang Clan's Heaven Realm cultivators had been transferred away, leaving only one Heavenly King Stage cultivator behind. Without a doubt, this was an order from the top clans to gather their soldiers. It was a sign that the war was about to begin.
No matter which clan they were from, all clans had to participate in the war. This was an order from the top clans, and even the first-rate clans could not disobey it. The Spirit Clan gathered on one star, while the Spirit Beasts gathered on another star. The two stars were even very far from each other and were not close to each other.
On the star where the Spirit Clan gathered, there were already many people gathered. The clans of different levels stood from front to back according to their strength. However, the ones standing at the front were not the top clans, but the first-rate clans.
The top clans had their own third star, and it was not here.
The Jiang Clan was a first-rate clan, so they naturally stood at the front. At this moment, among the Jiang Clan's experts, there were five figures that had never appeared before.
Ning Ji, Jiang Xiao, Chu Xing, and two Ning Clan's Heaven Realm cultivators.
It was Ning Ji's first time here, but everyone knew that he was the young master of the top clans. Everyone was respectful and reverent. Moreover, many of them knew that Ning Ji and Jiang Xiao had agreed to participate in the war, but it was not against the Hachiko clan, the Sengoku clan, or the Spreading Star clan. It was against other enemies, such as humans and strange beasts.
If there was no difference in cultivation level, it would be very easy for the Spirit Clan to kill their opponents. Just by relying on their extreme attributes, they could easily win. Not to mention that Ning Ji had brought with him two Heaven Realm cultivators who were close to the top. The Jiang Clan had also sent out two first-rate Heaven Realm cultivators for Jiang Xiao. With four such powerful Heaven Realm cultivators protecting them, if they encountered enemies other than the Hachiko clan, Ning Ji and Jiang Xiao would not even need to act. Just the four of them could easily win.
Of course, there was also Chu Xing, the young miss's puppet.
A total of seven people formed a team, and they would immediately participate in the war once it started. To be honest, using such a powerful force to fight against ordinary humans and strange beasts was like using a butcher's knife to kill chickens. Everyone was somewhat dissatisfied. However, no one would say anything. After all, no one dared to offend Ning Ji.
For Ning Ji, being able to fight side by side with Jiang Xiao on the battlefield and kill enemies together was simply the most wonderful thing. In his imagination, this was the best way to express the story of a hero and a beauty. And for Jiang Xiao, being able to go to the battlefield and experience the war without any danger to her life was indeed a very novel thing. Perhaps she would feel tired after experiencing it a few times, or perhaps she would feel bored after this time, but at least she was very interested now.
Of course, she also knew that Chu Xing would definitely be very uninterested. A person who had not joined the army in the first place was forcefully dragged to the battlefield by her; Chu Xing would probably be very unhappy inside. Jiang Xiao turned to look at Chu Xing beside her. Looking at this man's cold expression, she could not help but want to laugh.
She could not keep letting this man bully her; she had to let this man suffer a little. When they were on the battlefield, the two Ning Clan members and the two Jiang Clan members would only protect her and Ning Ji. There would definitely be no one who would protect Chu Xing. If Chu Xing fell into danger and asked her for help … that kind of scene was very nice just thinking about it.
Everyone was more or less interested in this puppet by the young miss's side. Quite a few people would glance at him from time to time, deep in thought, as if thinking about the meaning of life becoming like this. They would rather choose death than choose to sacrifice their divine sense and let their body and soul be trampled on by others. As for sympathy … only a few people sympathized; the majority still despised him. Sacrificing one's divine sense had to be voluntary, and others could not forcibly take it. A dignified man actually chose to sacrifice his divine sense under the threat of death; he was not worthy of sympathy at all.
Under the indistinct gazes of the crowd, Chu Xing stood in place, occasionally looking around, but most of the time he did not move.
Lu An was wondering when the battle would begin. Arranging the troops would take some time. The Spirit Race only had such a large army, and even more Spirit Beasts. It would be good enough if they could finish arranging and dispatching the troops by tomorrow. If … he could find time to leave today, he would be able to bring a lot of information to his wife.
But … the reality was far beyond Lu An's expectations.
Not even fifteen minutes later, a teleportation formation suddenly opened, and the Heavenly Kings of the various first-rate clans all walked out, arriving in front of their respective clans.
The Jiang Clan's Patriarch, Jiang Huai, naturally arrived. After sweeping his gaze over his own Heaven Tier troops, he immediately shouted, "Listen to my orders, battle immediately!"
