"Boom~~~"
Deep within the Magical Beast Mountain Range, a sudden deafening explosion erupted like a volcanic blast. A pale green flame destroyed most of an entire mountaintop, and the enormous commotion made even the Amethyst Winged Lion King sense a trace of danger.
"Seal off the surrounding area!"
The Amethyst Winged Lion King calmly gave the order. Before entering seclusion, Yan Qingshan had told it that this might cause a major disturbance, so it had summoned most of its subordinates to blockade the area.
Whether the absorption of a Heavenly Flame succeeded or failed, it would trigger a violent eruption of the flame and cause an enormous disturbance. Without anyone sealing off the routes, who knew what people might come rushing over in search of treasure.
In the original story, Xiao Yan had Old Ya, a former Dou Zun, use his soul power to conceal the disturbance caused by the Heavenly Flame's eruption. But Yan Qingshan had no helper of that level by his side, so he could only ask the Amethyst Winged Lion King to seal off the area and prevent any interference.
As the Heavenly Flame erupted, the mountaintop where Yan Qingshan was located was nearly annihilated in an instant. Vast swathes of green flame scorched the mountain's earth and stone, like an immensely gigantic torch.
Such a huge disturbance naturally drew the attention of many magical beasts. In particular, high-level magical beasts of the fifth tier and above all took it as a sign that some heaven-and-earth treasure had emerged.
However, after being blocked by the Amethyst Winged Lion King's arrangements, these magical beasts mostly gave up on pressing forward. After all, the overlord of this region was still the Amethyst Winged Lion King, and almost none dared to refuse it respect.
The green flames surged upward.
