Large-scale war?
Lu An was stunned. He could not help but frown and ask, "What do you mean? I remember that the surrounding countries have always been peaceful. How could there be a war? "
Beauty Yang looked at Lu An and said, "It's not that there's a war between these countries. Moreover, these countries have always been peaceful for many years."
"Then why?" Lu An asked doubtfully.
"Do you remember the Four Great Empires that I told you about?" Beauty Yang's eyes focused. She looked at Lu An and said softly, "The Four Great Empires are the super empires of the Eight Ancient Continents. They are the Heavenly Dragon Empire, the Montenegrin Empire, the Eastern Sea Empire, and the High Fire Empire. The Four Great Empires have Level 8 Heavenly Masters, and each empire has more than one. Just this point alone is something that other countries cannot compare to. "
"This war was instigated by a great general of the Heavenly Dragon Empire. However, he did not personally participate in the war. Instead, it was one of his trusted aides." Beauty Yang said, "This trusted aide is a Level 7 Heavenly Master. For some reason, he suddenly left the Heavenly Dragon Empire and established his own empire. This great general has great prestige in the Heavenly Dragon Empire. He added fuel to the fire behind the scenes. In just three months, he destroyed three countries. "
"Because the surrounding countries are all small countries, no one can compete with a Level 7 Heavenly Master. This trusted aide's invasion did not stop. Instead, he continued to advance and came to our side. During this period of time, the envoys of the surrounding countries have come here because the news of me being a Level 7 Heavenly Master has spread. They hope that Purple Lake City can help them maintain their original territory. "
Beauty Yang paused and said, "For this, they are willing to submit to Purple Lake City."
Submit?
Lu An was slightly puzzled and asked, "If that's the case, why not submit to that trusted aide?"
"Because that trusted aide will not let them keep their royal family." Beauty Yang said, "That trusted aide has brought many powerful subordinates with him. Moreover, this trusted aide is bloodthirsty. Wherever he goes, he will massacre a city. Just in the past three months alone, millions of people have died."
Hearing this, Lu An frowned and asked, "You guys agree?"
"Agreed, we have no choice but to agree." Beauty Yang said seriously, "Even if we don't participate, the other party will attack Purple Lake City sooner or later. Along the way, we'll pass through so many countries, and we'll also take in many Heavenly Master captives. We can't let them use the war to fuel the war. We have to end it quickly. "
"What about now?" Lu An asked again. "How is it now?"
"The situation is still stable." Beauty Yang said, "We have formed an alliance with the four surrounding countries to fight against the foreign enemies. As for the enemy, they seemed to know about the existence of a Level Seven Celestial Master and did not dare to act rashly. Instead, they rested outside the border. Although they continued to attack, the enemy's Level Seven Celestial Master did not make a move. "
Lu An nodded and said, "I've heard from my master that Celestial Masters above Level Six won't make a move unless they have absolute confidence in winning. If you and the other party's leader don't make a move, then you can indeed fight. But in this kind of situation, I'm afraid that the Heavenly Dragon Empire's Great General will get involved. "
"That's right." Beauty Yang looked at Lu An who was able to grasp the key point. Her eyes showed a trace of appreciation and said, "At the beginning, we were also worried that once a Level Eight Celestial Master joined the battle, we would be completely powerless to fight back. But a while ago, I went to the four great empires and personally inquired about it. The actions of the trusted subordinates are only the Great General's instructions and not the Imperial Family's intention. "
"The four great empires have their own rules. The Imperial Family can't easily let any powerful Celestial Master leave the empire to commit crimes outside, unless the Great General also announces his departure from the Heavenly Dragon Empire." Beauty Yang explained, "But this is also impossible because in the Eight Ancient Continents, if any Level Eight Celestial Master establishes his own sect, he will automatically become the enemy of the four great empires."
Lu An was startled when he heard this and asked, "You mean to say that after becoming a Level Eight Celestial Master, one must join the four great empires?"
"That's right." Beauty Yang nodded and said, "This is the rule."
Hearing Beauty Yang's words, Lu An knew that there was such a rule in the continent. However, it was useless for him to think too much about it. Not to mention a Level Eight Celestial Master, even a Level Six Celestial Master was a distant goal for him. Right now, he was only a Level Four Celestial Master. The road ahead of him was very long.
Looking at Lu An's thoughtful expression, Beauty Yang thought for a moment and said, "However, although the people of the Heavenly Dragon Empire won't make a move, we still have to be wary of some clans and sects."
"Clans? Sects? "Lu An was startled and asked," Like the Holy Land? "
"That's right." Beauty Yang nodded and said, "The Holy Land is a cultivation sect that is related to the empire. However, there are many clans and sects that are not related to the empire. After all, in the Eight Ancient Continents, even if there is no empire, the land is very vast. There are many clans and sects that exist independently. Moreover, the truly powerful clans and sects are all in the Eight Ancient Continents. "
Lu An was startled when he heard this. Then, he suddenly thought of something. His eyes narrowed as he looked at Beauty Yang and asked, "My origin …"
Beauty Yang looked at Lu An and didn't say anything.
Lu An didn't continue to ask. In any case, his strength was still too weak. Even if he knew, there wouldn't be any benefits. On the contrary, he might make a lot of unwise choices. After thinking for a moment, Lu An said to Beauty Yang, "In that case, I'll go find Yang Mu now."
Beauty Yang nodded. Then, Lu An turned to look at Liu Lan. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Do you want me to find someone to take you around or do you want to do something by yourself?"
Liu Lan, who hadn't spoken since the beginning, raised her head. Seeing that his face was somewhat pale, she unconsciously leaned towards Lu An and said, "I … I want to be with you."
After saying this, she looked at Beauty Yang with some fear. From the beginning, Beauty Yang gave her too much pressure.
Lu An was startled and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. If he brought Liu Lan to see Yang Mu, it wouldn't be good. Suddenly, he thought of something and said, "How about this, I'll get someone to take you to a good friend of mine. Her name is Liu Yi. She's a very good person. You can chat with her for a while. I'll go find you soon."
Hearing Lu An's words, Liu Lan couldn't help but feel a stab of pain in her heart. However, she still obediently nodded and said, "Okay."
Seeing this, Beauty Yang immediately called someone to lead the way for Liu Lan. When Liu Lan left, she still looked at Lu An reluctantly. Her eyes were filled with sadness.
After Liu Lan left the room, Lu An let out a sigh of relief. However, the heaviness in his heart didn't lessen at all. He really didn't expect that he would encounter such a situation. It gave him a lot of pressure.
"I didn't expect that every time Master went out, he could bring back a woman." Beauty Yang suddenly opened her mouth. Her tone was unpredictable as she said, "Moreover, every woman is so outstanding."
Lu An was startled. Then, he shook his head with a bitter smile and said, "I don't want to either."
"Whether you want to or not, it has already happened. In the future, even if Master brings back a woman, I won't be surprised." Beauty Yang said faintly, "Half a year ago, a few women, Liu Yi, Kong Yan and Shuang Er all had a good impression of you. It seems that my Purple Lake City will become Master's harem."
"…"
Lu An scratched his head awkwardly and said, "I'll be more careful in the future. I won't provoke others. Now, let's go find Yang Mu!"

In the center of the City Lord's Mansion, in the City Lord's Main Hall.
When Lu An stood outside the door and saw Yang Mu, who was immersed in her work and had to discuss with the people around her from time to time, his heart sank slightly.
He still remembered that the first time he saw Yang Mu was in a shop. At that time, Yang Mu was dressed as a man and had a heroic spirit. She was lively and cheerful, filled with a cheerful aura. But this time, Yang Mu's liveliness and heroic spirit were much less. Instead, she was much more mature and steady. One must know that Yang Mu was only twenty years old this year.
To let a twenty year old girl manage a city of such scale, especially in the face of war, even Lu An couldn't imagine this kind of pressure.
Beauty Yang stood behind Lu An. She looked at her daughter and felt a burst of heartache. In fact, when the war started, she didn't want her daughter to be tired. She wanted to personally preside over the overall situation. However, her daughter directly refused and insisted on carrying such a banner herself.
Beauty Yang knew that her daughter didn't do it for anything else. She simply wanted to keep herself busy. She was so busy that she couldn't think of anything other than work.
"You can go in." Beauty Yang turned her head and said softly to Lu An.
Lu An was startled. He nodded and walked inside.
"Miss Mu, long time no see."
A familiar voice that would appear every time in her dreams suddenly rang out. It made Yang Mu, who was immersed in writing, tremble. She thought that she was hallucinating because she was too tired and was dreaming.
However, she still left herself a little hope. She raised her head and looked forward.
However, when she saw the figure of that man, her body trembled and the pen fell from her hand.
"Lu … An."
