Ferocious

After the Invisible Fire Python was submerged in the magma, it seemed to have lost its movement, but the increasing pressure on the energy shield told Su Qian and the others that a crisis was still brewing.

"If all else fails, we can expand the range of the energy shield a bit. Some elders have already gone to awaken Thousand Hundred Elders," Su Qian said.

Upon hearing this, the four Dou Emperors were all invigorated. Both of the elders, Thousand Hundred Elders, were at the Peak Dou Zong, and either one of them was stronger than the five of them combined.

"Thump..."

Just then, a deep and somewhat indistinct voice entered their ears.

"What is that sound? Did you feel the energy shield being impacted?"

"I don't feel anything. Is that beast destroying the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower?"

"Calm down!" Su Qian shouted, interrupting the conversation.

However, even Su Qian herself couldn't stop her heart from racing...

Xiao Yan glanced at the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower from afar, but did not go over. Instead, he began to treat the eighteen seriously injured elders.

Jia Nan Academy has its own set of countermeasures. Every elder has learned Formation and relies on the power of Formation to suppress the Fallen Heart Flame.

In this situation, no one else can help. There is no corresponding position in the Formation, so the strong students can only lead the ordinary students to run further away and try not to cause trouble for the elders.

Xiao Yan landed beside the group of elders who were lying dead. Their breaths were extremely weak, but their faces were flushed and their bodies were radiating a burning heat.

Xiao Yan reached out and placed his hand on the wrist of one of the elders, carefully probing in a Soul Power.

The elder's meridians were twisted into a tangled mess, and all his internal organs were damaged. Even if he survived, his cultivation would likely be severely hampered.

Xiao Yan frowned. If Han Feng hadn't died, Han Feng would have rushed up immediately after the Fallen Heart Flame was freed. But now that Han Feng was gone, the Fallen Heart Flame had a chance to severely damage Jia Nan Academy.

"I have already dealt with the remaining Heart Flame in their bodies, but to truly heal them, I'm afraid we'll need Sixth Grade Pill." Gu Xun'er walked over at some point.

"..." Xiao Yan looked at Gu Xun'er with a hint of doubt, wondering why she hadn't gone home to inherit the family business yet.

However, since Gu Xun'er had come, she must have something to say, so Xiao Yan and Gu Xun'er walked to a distance—at this moment, a group of Alchemist were treating the eighteen elders.

After arriving at a secluded spot, Gu Xun'er said, "The Fallen Heart Flame has caused such a stir, so as long as you express your intention to refine it, Great Elder Su Qian will surely do everything in his power to help you. Congratulations in advance on obtaining this ' Cultivation Cheat Device'— the Fallen Heart Flame!"

"Are you leaving?" Xiao Yan understood the implication in Gu Xun'er's words.

"... You seem to be, well, intentionally distancing yourself from me?" Gu Xun'er was struggling with the fact that she had bullied Xiao Yan and felt guilty, so she was particularly sensitive.

"Do you know how many men have expressed admiration and love for you so far?" Xiao Yan suddenly asked.

"Huh?" Gu Xun'er was immediately stunned.

"See, all you can remember is the maverick me." Xiao Yan shrugged and grinned crookedly.

Gu Xun'er couldn't help but chuckle, never expecting Xiao Yan to say such a thing.

"Well, you've successfully made me remember you." Although she had been fooled by Xiao Yan again, Gu Xun'er felt quite relaxed from chatting and joking around.

Thinking back to Ling Quan, who was as small as a quail, Gu Xun'er felt that her life after returning to the Hui ethnic group was bleak.

"I hope you can maintain this optimistic and confident attitude when we meet again," Gu Xun'er said, handing Xiao Yan a golden scroll.

"What is this?" Xiao Yan took the scroll and tried to open it, but found that there was no opening designed at all.

"I'm giving this to you to save your life, in case you suddenly get beaten to death one day," Gu Xun'er joked.

"What a treasure! How much could this fetch?" Xiao Yan flipped his hand and put away the scroll.

Gu Xun'er rolled her eyes. "If you have any enemies, sell it to them. The Gu Clan will not allow this Dou Technique to be passed on—but if you use it yourself, I'll protect you."

"Thanks!" Xiao Yan took out a Jade Slip with some Flame Mark and handed it to Gu Xun'er: "It would be impolite not to reciprocate. I will contact you when I discover Ancient Ruins in the future, such as the Nether Saint Relic or the Tusita Ancient Emperor Relic."

Gu Xun'er couldn't help but roll her eyes again, but she still accepted the Jade Slip.

"Well then, goodbye!" Gu Xun'er waved her hand, a pair of golden Dou Qi Wings sprouted from her back, and she left.

"Goodbye!"

After saying goodbye to Gu Xun'er, Xiao Yan felt melancholy for a few minutes, and then glanced at the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower as if sensing something.

You wouldn't believe it until you see it; the four Dou Emperors were also lying down, and Su Qian was covered in blood. If it weren't for the two gray-robed men appearing, Su Qian might have been lying down too.

"Is this Fallen Heart Flame really that powerful?" Xiao Yan didn't have time to think further, and with a flap of his Crystal Wings, he rushed over.

Before Xiao Yan could check on the condition of the elders, a gray-robed man spoke up, "You've come at the right time. I'll borrow your Heavenly Flames for a moment."

Xiao Yan looked at Su Qian and, seeing that he had suppressed his injuries and was able to help the other four elders, nodded and took the initiative to release the Green Lotus Sea Heart Flame to help the two gray-robed men.

This was naturally not as agile as when Xiao Yan used it himself, but both gray-robed men were at the Peak Dou Zong, and their vast Dou Qi continuously poured into the Green Lotus Sea Heart Flame.

With the powerful brick flying, the Green Lotus Sea Heart Flame transformed into an overwhelming blue-indigo sea of fire, directly suppressing the Invisible Fire Python without the need for an energy shield, forcing it back into the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower.

"Grumble!"

The Invisible Fire Python was furious, swallowing the Green Lotus Sea Heart Flame in large gulps. However, since the flame was on Xiao Yan's body, no matter how much the Invisible Fire Python swallowed, it was useless and could not resist the indigo flames at all.

Even the crimson magma it unleashed was completely devoured by the Green Lotus Sea Heart Flame, which transformed into power to suppress it.

Seeing that the Invisible Fire Python was about to be forced back into the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower, Xiao Yan suddenly spoke up, "Seniors, why don't you let me handle this Fallen Heart Flame? Sealing it indefinitely is not a solution."

The two gray-robed men paused, exchanged a glance, and then looked at Xiao Yan in unison. "You can refine several Heavenly Flames at the same time?"

"No, but I can use my Heavenly Flames to devour the Fallen Heart Flame," Xiao Yan said, enduring the scrutinizing gaze.

"... How confident are you that you can swallow it instead of being swallowed by it? This thing is extremely powerful. Those four Dou Emperors were instantly killed after being pierced by its body." A gray-robed man asked.

No wonder the Fallen Heart Flame's performance was so impressive this time; it turns out it was its true form that fought. Xiao Yan's thoughts raced, and then he spoke:

"I'm not sure either. This Fallen Heart Flame is probably beyond the fourteenth level, but it's definitely been greatly depleted right now. I have no less than a 50% chance of successfully devouring it."
