Dealing with the Aftermath

Without Han Feng's restraint, the Sea Heart Flame began to exude a terrifying aura, with layers of energy ripples spreading outwards.

Xiao Ming and Su Qian both stepped back a short distance.

"Xiao Ming, what do you plan to do with this Heavenly Flames?" Su Qian looked at the Heavenly Flames, a hint of amazement flashing in her eyes, and then asked Xiao Ming, after all, this Heavenly Flames was Xiao Ming's spoils of war.

"This Heavenly Flames is not easy to collect."

"No problem." Upon hearing this, Xiao Ming quickly flicked his finger on the Na Ring. Instantly, a blue light slowly rose from the Na Ring and finally hovered in front of him. Within that blue light, a lotus seat, as perfect as a work of art and with a jade-like luster, rotated slightly, looking quite extraordinary.

"What is this?"

"This is the nineteenth ranked Heavenly Flames, the Companion Lotus Platform Green Lotus Core Flame, which has the effect of storing Heavenly Flames," Xiao Ming explained.

"Will this work? The Sea Heart Flame isn't the Green Lotus Core Flame. We don't want to burn your lotus platform." Su Qian said with a frown. Xiao Ming's lotus platform looked extraordinary. As soon as it appeared, a large amount of free Fire Attribute energy gathered around it. It was obviously a good treasure. It would be a pity if it were burned.

"A short-term containment shouldn't be a problem," Xiao Ming said thoughtfully.

"If all else fails, then we'll have to ask the Great Elder to forcibly capture them."

Forcibly seizing Heavenly Flames will inevitably result in being devoured by Heavenly Flames, and an eruption of the Heavenly Flames could potentially cause injury. Unless absolutely necessary, it is best to adopt a gentler approach.

Upon hearing this, Su Qian did not refuse. She nodded slightly and stepped back a distance, giving Xiao Ming enough space to maneuver.

Seeing this, Xiao Ming also began to take action.

Holding the Green Lotus Seat in his palm, Xiao Ming lightly tossed it toward the Heavenly Flames in mid-air.

After the Green Lotus Seat reached the Sea Heart Flame, a faint blue light shield spread out from it, eventually enveloping the Sea Heart Flame.

As the cyan light shield slowly shrank, the Sea Heart Flame rippled faintly, as if it wanted to resist, but the extent of its resistance was not very high.

"It's feasible." Upon seeing this, Xiao Ming's face lit up with joy. He immediately stepped forward, grabbed the lotus platform, and unleashed a torrent of Dou Qi Energy from his hand.

With Xiao Ming's help, Sea Heart Flame's struggles lessened considerably.

As the cyan light barrier slowly shrank, the Heavenly Flames fell back into the lotus heart without any resistance. Instantly, an eerie blue flame rose from the empty lotus heart.

"Success..." The collection of the Heavenly Flames went very smoothly. Looking at the Sea Heart Flame that had been collected into the Green Lotus Seat, Xiao Ming smiled.

"Just how many good things did you get on this trip?" Su Qian clicked his tongue in amazement when he saw that Xiao Ming had actually used the Green Lotus to put away the Heavenly Flames. He suddenly remembered that Xiao Ming earlier that this lotus platform was the Companion Lotus Platform of the Green Lotus Core Flame, and now he had this thing in his hands.

A thought suddenly popped into Su Qian's mind, "Could Xiao Ming also possess the Green Lotus Core Flame?"

As soon as the idea popped into Su Qian's head, he found it absurd. For an ordinary person, having one Heavenly Flames and successfully devouring it was already incredibly lucky. Xiao Ming had two Heavenly Flames and was still fine, which could be described as extremely good luck. If he had a third Heavenly Flames, the Green Lotus Core Flame, then Su Qian really wouldn't know what to say.

Although she found the idea absurd, Su Qian couldn't help but believe that her speculation was true.

However, he did not ask Xiao Ming to verify this matter.

Suddenly, he noticed that Xiao Ming's Aura had weakened, and his Dou Huang Peak aura was dropping rapidly at a visible speed until it stopped at Three Star Dou Huang.

Su Qian quickly flew over to Xiao Ming's side, "Are you alright?"

"It's nothing, just a side effect after the Secret Technique ends," Xiao Ming replied, his face somewhat pale. He then took out a pill from his Na Ring and put it in his mouth.

After taking the pill, Xiao Ming's complexion quickly regained its rosy hue. The fact that it worked so fast clearly indicated that the pill Xiao Ming had taken was of a high grade.

Seeing this, Su Qian felt a little relieved and laughed, "You Alchemist are really rich and powerful, just casually consuming holy healing medicine."

If an ordinary Dou Emperor suffered the same injury as Xiao Ming, and there were no enemies harassing them, most would choose to heal themselves slowly. There's no other reason than that pills are too expensive. The higher the level, the more expensive the pills become. These pills are usually saved as a life-saving trump card, unlike Xiao Ming who would just casually consume them.

Xiao Ming simply smiled and remained silent; after all, he was Alchemist.

That's what it's like to be rich; you don't have to think about so many things.

"Ah!" With a final scream, the last Black Corner expert brought by Han Feng died at the hands of Hu Gan.

After Aura the surrounding area and confirming that no one had missed any cases of feigned death, Hu Gan instructed, "Qin Xuan, lead the elders to clean up the battlefield. We'll hand it over to Commander Wu Tianlang later, and he can hang it on the Undead Tree."

"By the way, be careful when collecting the corpses. There are all sorts of strange and unusual Cultivation Method in the world; don't get tricked."

"Yes."

Looking at the forest, ravaged by the aftermath of the battle, and the elders searching for corpses within it, Hu Gan shook his head and flew towards the location of Su Qian and Xiao Ming.

Elder Huo and the Amethyst Winged Lion King also flew over.

That's right, the Amethyst Winged Lion King also participated in this battle. He contributed a lot when Hu Gan and the others were entangled by the Gold and Silver Elders.

The group approached Xiao Ming and were immediately drawn to the Green Lotus Platform in his hand.

"This is Han Feng's Heavenly Flames," Su Qian explained, then asked Hu Gan, "Old Man Hu, have you dealt with the people from the Black Corner Region? What are our casualties?"

"A few elders suffered minor injuries, but the rest are fine," Hu Gan replied.

This result was not unexpected for Su Qian. The reason for the current situation was not that the people of the Black Corner Region were too weak, but that they were too few in number.

Given that these elders cooperated better than the others, it's no surprise that they achieved such a result.

"All the people Han Feng brought this time are dead. Among them are Ban Lao, the hermit of Black Horn; Fan Lao, the sect leader of Blood Sect; Yan Yin, the sect leader of Earth Flame Sect; Yuan Yi, the sect leader of Eight Doors; and Yin Gu Lao, the sect leader of Heavenly Yin Sect. All of these people are on the Black List. Adding the two elders of Gold and Silver and Han Feng, only two people are left on the Black List. It can be said that the Black List of Black Horn Region has been cleansed by us." Hu Gan said with a smile on his face.

"Hang their corpses, along with those of the Dou Wang, on the Undead Tree. That will definitely cause a stir in the Black Corner Region. After this lesson, I want to see who dares to covet our academy again."

Jia Nan Academy was built in the chaotic Black Corner, and naturally, it was subject to disturbances at times.

Now, with this deterrent effect, it's believed that those people in the Black Corner Region will behave themselves for a long time.
