After being bestowed the title of King, Lu An rejected Qi Zhenshan's suggestion to have a lunch banquet and left the Shang Qi Kingdom's Imperial Palace. He then used the Teleportation Formation to arrive at the Shang Qi Kingdom's western border.
With Lu An's current strength, he was able to travel very quickly. Before noon, he had crossed the mountain range and returned to Purple Lake City. He did not tell anyone else. Instead, he summoned Yang Meiren to his side and handed her the treaty. He also told her about what had happened in the Shang Qi Kingdom's Imperial Palace.
Yang Meiren nodded slightly. She took the treaty and put it away without even looking at it. Seeing this, Lu An asked, "Do you need me to go to the other three kingdoms?"
"No need." Yang Meiren looked at Lu An and said softly, "With the Shang Qi Kingdom as an example, I'll order their King to come to Purple Lake City to sign the treaty."
Lu An nodded and said, "In that case, I'll return to the frontlines."
"Master, you don't have to go back," Yang Meiren said.
Lu An was stunned and asked, "Why?"
"Over the past month, the frontlines have recovered quite a bit. This is also because the enemy is too greedy and the frontlines are too long. Now that the enemy is shrinking and has formed a coherent front, it won't be easy for us to break through. I'm afraid the situation will be deadlocked. "
Lu An frowned slightly and asked, "Even after the Revered Heaven Sect joined, we still can't beat them?"
"If we don't talk about Level Seven Heavenly Masters, we are indeed evenly matched," Yang Meiren said softly, "However, we naturally have the advantage in terms of Level Seven Heavenly Masters. If Zhang Yun and I can defeat or even kill Gu Yi, the war will naturally end. "
Lu An frowned when he heard this. He looked at Beauty Yang and asked, "Are you confident?"
"No." Yang Meiren shook her head and said, "Ever since I became a Level Seven Heavenly Master, I have never fought with another Level Seven Heavenly Master. It's hard to say before we fight, which is why Zhang Yun is unwilling to fight with Gu Yi. "
"Then what should we do?" Lu An asked. He did not understand military affairs, so he had to listen to Yang Meiren's arrangements.
"Biding our time is the best method." Yang Meiren did not hesitate and said directly, "War is normal. Although such a stalemate will also cause a lot of losses in manpower and financial resources, it's better than acting rashly. I'm only a Level Seven Heavenly Master now. Neither Zhang Yun nor I know Gu Pian's strength. I don't even know Zhang Yun's strength. Right now, we can only see who can endure who. "
Lu An nodded slightly when he heard this. He just didn't expect that a battle involving a Level Seven Celestial Master would end up like this. It seemed that the best way to deal with this situation was to drag things out.
"Now that the situation has reached a stalemate, Master can also do what he wants to do," Beauty Yang said softly as she looked at Lu An with her beautiful eyes. "The situation will remain in a stalemate for at least a few months, or at most a few decades. There is no shortage of people at the frontlines. Master can go out and gain experience. "
Hearing Beauty Yang's words, Lu An smiled bitterly. Indeed, there wouldn't be any qualitative changes if he was at the front line, unless he could become a Level 6 Heavenly Master. However, there was still a long way to go, and he couldn't be impatient.
"I promised Yao Yao that I would visit her often." Lu An thought for a moment and said, "It's been more than eight months since I left Sengoku last time. It's better for me to go to Sengoku first."
Beauty Yang frowned slightly when she heard this. She had been to Sengoku and had also seen Yao Yao. Ever since she was a child, Beauty Yang had absolute confidence in her appearance, and Yao Yao was the first woman she had ever seen who could make her feel a sense of crisis. Every time Lu An wanted to go to Sengoku, she was more or less afraid.
However, she couldn't have anything to do with Lu An, nor did she have any reason to stop him. She could only say indifferently, "Yes, Master."
Lu An naturally heard the sudden change in Beauty Yang's tone, but he couldn't say anything. He thought for a moment and said, "I won't stay in Sengoku for too long, but I may stay in Tiancheng Country for a while. I have two good friends in Tiancheng Country that I've been worried about. They are Han Ya and Wei Tao. You've met them before. "
Beauty Yang nodded slightly. She had indeed met them before. That day, she fought at Dacheng Mountain. In the end, Lu An's master appeared and killed all the Level Six Celestial Masters. She left with Lu An and the two people and spent a few days with them. Both of them had good characters, so Beauty Yang didn't have any dislike for them.
"How long will Master be gone?" Beauty Yang was still worried. After all, there might be Level Six Celestial Masters in Tiancheng Country.
"Three months at most." Lu An thought for a moment and said, "I also know that it's difficult to find them. No matter what the result is, I will definitely come back within three months."
Beauty Yang was a little relieved after hearing this. Three months was not a long time. She asked, "When will Master leave?"
"Tomorrow." After making the decision, Lu An also breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Let's have a meal together tonight to celebrate Purple Lake City officially becoming the center of the four countries."
"Okay," Beauty Yang said.

The next morning.
Lu An got up early, packed up, and prepared to leave. Last night, he chatted with a group of women for a long time. Although these women made him feel that it was very difficult to deal with them, he had to admit that he felt like he was at home with them.
However, this feeling was only familial and had nothing to do with love. In front of these women, Lu An was sure that he had never been moved, except for one person who he had some doubts about.
However, it was merely a suspicion. There was no need to talk about any more feelings. In his opinion, it was more of a habit.
Knock, knock, knock.
Someone knocked on his door. Without asking, Lu An knew who it was and said directly, "Come in."
Beauty Yang pushed the door and entered. Seeing that Lu An had finished packing, she asked, "Master, shall we leave now?"
Lu An looked at Beauty Yang, nodded, and said, "Let's go."
Lu An and Beauty Yang entered the Teleportation Array and arrived at Mount Ri Liang in Tiancheng Country in the blink of an eye. It was already late autumn and the weather was a little cold. The leaves on Mount Ri Liang had also fallen and turned yellow. Stepping on them, they made creaking sounds.
"Leave a Teleportation Array here that I can use. This way, I won't have to trouble you and can go back by myself," Lu An said softly.
However, Beauty Yang did not make a move. She said in the autumn wind, "If Master wants to go back, just summon me with your Divine Sense. I want to welcome Master personally."
Lu An was startled when he heard this. However, he did not say anything and said, "Then go back. I will summon you."
"Yes, Master," Beauty Yang said respectfully and walked into the Teleportation Array to leave.
After watching Beauty Yang leave, Lu An did not stay any longer. After putting on the white Sengoku cloak that Yao Yao gave him, he directly opened the Gate of the Immortal World and walked in.
Sengoku, in the bamboo forest.
The Gate of the Immortal World opened and Lu An jumped down from it and landed steadily on the ground. When he came to Sengoku again, Lu An looked at the beautiful scenery around him. It was completely different from the bleak autumn wind outside.
Lu An did not stop and went straight to the place where the Master of Sengoku lived. It was morning now. Moreover, for someone of Yuan's strength, he probably did not need to sleep.
Sure enough, when he came near the courtyard, Lu An felt an invisible pressure. Moreover, this pressure was very familiar. After two breaths, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him. It was none other than Jun.
Jun's sudden appearance startled Lu An. He immediately bowed and said, "Disciple greets Master."
Jun sized up Lu An and revealed a smile. She said, "Not bad. Every time you come back, you don't disappoint me."
"Thank you for your praise, Master," Lu An stood up and said to Jun.
"If you did not improve so quickly, I would definitely punish you for only returning to Sengoku after such a long time." Jun looked at Lu An and said, "Little Yao is cultivating in the Immortal Ascension Pool five miles to the south. Go and see her. She misses you very much."
Hearing Jun's words, Lu An could not help but blush. After all, Jun was Yao's mother. He felt somewhat apologetic when someone else's mother said that.
"Yes, disciple will go now," Lu An said. Then, he turned and left.
Lu An moved quickly in Sengoku. His current strength could be considered average among the younger generation in Sengoku. He was not at the bottom like before. He quickly rushed toward the Immortal Ascension Pool. However, the distance of five miles was very short for him.
Soon, Lu An arrived at the edge of the five miles. Before entering, there was a white fog in front of Lu An. This white fog was very dense and there was almost no visibility. And within this white fog, there was also a faintly discernible Immortal Qi revolving around it.
In Sengoku, Lu An did not dare to use the Scorching Sun Nine Suns to sense, nor did he dare to release divine aura to sense. He was afraid that he would disturb Yao's cultivation. He could only carefully walk into the white fog and move forward step by step. At the same time, he said softly, "Yao, I'm Lu An. I'm here to see you."
However, there was no response after he spoke. Lu An was a little surprised. Although he spoke softly, it should not be soft. Yao should be able to hear him.
He tried to call out twice, but there was still no response. He did not dare to shout, and could only continue to try to move forward.
He carefully took each step, and just like that, he moved forward twenty steps.
At this moment, he suddenly felt that his left foot stepped on air. However, he left some leeway for himself with each step. His center of gravity was on his back foot. He immediately retracted his left foot and wanted to retreat.
However, at this moment, a force suddenly grabbed onto his ankle. With a light tug, Lu An was directly thrown into the pool.
Lu An's body was thrown forward ten meters, before he fell into the pool with a splash. He floated on top of the pool, and other than his head, his entire body was submerged in the pool. The pool water was extremely comfortable, but Lu An did not feel much about it. Instead, he hurriedly looked around the pool.
The divine aura was still dense, and he could not see anything clearly. Just as he was about to swim around and search, he suddenly felt a will calling out to him from beneath his feet.
His body trembled, and he hurriedly lowered his head and plunged it into the pool as well, looking down into the pool.
In the clear pool water, ninety meters below the surface, Yao was only wearing an extremely thin gauze dress. She was as beautiful as a fairy as she sat at the center of the pool.
