An hour later, on the streets of Black Wolf City.
Lu An and Liu Lan sat in the carriage. Just like when they came, they each sat on one side and didn't speak.
Song Qian, who was angered by Lu An and wanted to chase after him, began to learn from Lu An and drink large mouthfuls of Fire Wine. However, after drinking two bowls, she collapsed on the table and fell to the ground, vomiting blood.
This scene shocked the surrounding people. If anything happened to Song Qian, they wouldn't be able to bear the consequences. They quickly called for Heavenly Healers to treat Song Qian. Lu An, on the other hand, felt bored and left.
After Lu An left, Liu Lan followed Lu An into the carriage. The two of them sat in the carriage, and the atmosphere was even more awkward than when they arrived.
After a while, Lu An suddenly spoke. He looked at Liu Lan and frowned, "Why is Miss Liu still following me? The Blood Symbol Alliance and the Mountain River Alliance aren't on the same path. Shouldn't you go back to the Blood Symbol Alliance? "
"…"
Hearing Lu An's words, Liu Lan bit her lips and lowered her head. She didn't dare to look at Lu An and didn't say anything.
Lu An's frown deepened. He took a deep breath and suddenly shouted to the carriage driver, "Stop the carriage!"
"Whoosh!!!"
Outside the carriage, the coachman stopped the carriage. Lu An stood up and left the carriage without hesitation, standing on the ground. At this moment, Liu Lan was also stunned. She quickly poked her head out of the carriage and looked at Lu An.
Lu An said to the carriage driver, "Please send Miss Liu back to the Blood Symbol Alliance. I'll go back by myself."
With that, Lu An looked at Liu Lan and frowned. He said seriously, "Didn't Miss Liu want to fight with me? I'll be participating in the Black Wolf Conference in half a month. We'll fight there. Before that, don't disturb me. "
Liu Lan was stunned. She wanted to say something but was interrupted by Lu An. He said to the carriage driver, "Carriage driver, drive the horse!"
"Go!"
The coachman urged the horse forward and changed the direction of the carriage, rushing in the direction of the Blood Symbol Alliance.
In the end, Liu Lan did not say a single word. She could only look at Lu An in the end. She did not waste a single breath.
Soon, the carriage went further and further away, finally disappearing from Lu An's sight. Lu An finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his brows slowly relaxed.
No matter what kind of feelings Liu Lan had for him, he shouldn't be entangled with this woman. When they were in the carriage, he could tell that this woman would definitely go to his residence every day. If he wasn't ruthless enough, he wouldn't be able to cut her off.

Half a month later, two days before the Black Wolf Conference.
Lu An sat cross-legged on the bed. He slowly opened his eyes and exhaled. After a day of cultivation, his strength had improved again. In the past half a month, he could feel that he was slowly moving towards late-stage Rank 3.
In this half a month, the Mountain Water Alliance didn't send out a single mission. Instead, they wholeheartedly devoted themselves to cooperating with the Blood Symbol Alliance. In the north of the city, the two families built a huge plantation area. With a Wood attribute Heavenly Master around, building a house couldn't be easier.
Most of the people in the Mountain Water Alliance were in the north of the city. Only a few people were in the headquarters. These people were all inexperienced newcomers. Lu An was naturally one of them. However, even the newcomers had to go to the north of the city for a rotation every once in a while. After all, such a huge business deal could very well attract the jealousy of outsiders and cause trouble.
At this moment, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside the door. Without needing to sense, Lu An knew that it must be either Gao Sheng or He Gaoguo. As expected, He Gaoguo's voice came from outside the door.
"Lu An, Boss is back. He called us for a meeting!"
Lu An was stunned. This was the first time he heard that Chen Shuangdao was back in half a month. He said loudly, "Okay, I'll go now."
Soon, Lu An and He Gaoguo arrived at the meeting hall together. There weren't any elders in the meeting hall. They were all newcomers, including Gao Sheng.
Seeing Lu An arrive, Chen Shuangdao nodded slightly. After gesturing for Lu An to sit down, he said to everyone, "Recently, our Mountain Water Alliance hasn't been hunting exotic beasts. This matter has always been in my heart. No matter what, we're still a Hunter's Alliance. We can't forget our roots, so I'm preparing to move out tonight.
"I've received news that there are two to three Rank 3 exotic beasts appearing in the third mountain in the south of Evil Mountain West. However, I need to remind you that this news isn't our buyout. Neither I nor the other two alliance masters will take action against exotic beasts of this level, so I'm preparing to send you guys out. "
The moment he said that, the people in the meeting hall were stunned. They then began to discuss in whispers. The people here who had been in the Mountain Water Alliance for the longest time had only been in it for three years. The strongest among them was a mid-level Rank 3. Most of them were Rank 2 Heavenly Masters. Wasn't that a bit weak?
And the mid-level Rank 3 Heavenly Master was Lu An.
"You guys will have to go out and temper yourselves. Whether it's judging the environment of the mountain range, timing, or decision-making, you have to comprehend it yourselves. Otherwise, how will the Mountain Water Alliance be handed over to you guys? " Chen Shuangdao looked at the crowd and said, "It's decided then. We'll set off tonight. Lu An will lead the team."
The moment he said that, everyone was stunned and looked at Lu An. Although Lu An was strong, he had only been in the Mountain Water Alliance for a month. Wasn't Lu An not qualified enough to lead the team?
Chen Shuangdao looked around and knew what everyone was thinking. He said loudly, "The Mountain Water Alliance is different from other alliances. We don't talk about qualifications, only strength. Those with ability can directly obtain authority. If your ability surpasses mine, I will immediately step down. I won't let qualifications hinder the Mountain Water Alliance's development. As long as you can contribute more to the Mountain Water Alliance, immediately go! "
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, but they all nodded. The alliance master's words were reasonable. Moreover, this was the alliance master's order. They couldn't disobey.
After Chen Shuangdao gave a few more instructions, he quickly left the meeting hall and rushed to the north of the city. At this moment, there was only a group of newcomers left in the large meeting hall. Everyone looked at Lu An at the same time, waiting for Lu An to speak.
Although this wasn't the first time Lu An commanded others, he didn't have a good impression of giving orders. He stood up and said to everyone, "Since that's the case, everyone go back and prepare. We'll set off in the evening."
After hearing Lu An's order, everyone nodded and left the meeting hall to prepare. Lu An also left, and soon, the meeting hall was empty.
Evening.
Everyone once again gathered in the courtyard outside the meeting hall. Lu An stood in front of everyone and did a headcount. Including himself, there were fourteen people. Among them, eleven were Level 2 Heavenly Masters and three were Level 3 Heavenly Masters. Other than him, the other two were early Level 3 Heavenly Masters.
After everyone was present, Lu An said to everyone, "Set off."
The group immediately set off for the mountain range. After more than two hours of rushing, the sky was completely dark, and everyone had successfully entered the mountain range.
The mountain range was filled with danger. Even Lu An wouldn't be careless. Although the periphery was filled with low-tier Mystical Beasts, no one could guarantee that high-tier Mystical Beasts wouldn't come to the periphery. Scorching Sun Nine Suns were fully activated, sensing the situation within one mile. Lu An walked at the front and carefully advanced, ensuring that there was no danger.
Soon, under Lu An's lead, the group successfully avoided three waves of Mystical Beasts. After taking a slight detour, they arrived at the third mountain range. With Lu An around, there was no need for scouts. Otherwise, if these people were to scout, Lu An was worried that they wouldn't be able to return.
After successfully arriving at the foot of the third mountain, Lu An slowed down his footsteps. Because Chen Shuangdao said that this information wasn't a buyout, it was very likely that people from other alliances would come to fight for it. To him, Level 3 Mystical Beasts weren't scary. People were the scariest.
"Try not to make any noise. Advance stealthily." Lu An turned around and ordered everyone behind him.
Everyone nodded when they heard this, and their footsteps became even more cautious. Everyone entered the third mountain range and advanced slowly.
Finally, when they were halfway up the mountain, Lu An, who was walking at the front, suddenly stopped. The people behind him also stopped immediately and looked at Lu An in front of them in confusion.
"Everyone, lie down!" Lu An ordered in a low voice. Although everyone didn't understand, they still obeyed the order and lay down.
Lu An did the same. He lay on the ground and looked forward. It was silent in front, and there was no movement at all. This made everyone feel very puzzled.
Finally, after about half an incense stick's worth of time, someone finally couldn't bear it and was about to open his mouth to express his doubts. But just as he was about to open his mouth, the ground where everyone was lying suddenly shook!
Boom!
As if there was an earthquake, everyone's body was shaken up by an inch. Everyone's body shook, and they hurriedly looked forward.
A hundred feet away, a huge black shadow slowly stood up under the moonlight!
