Visitors from the Black-Corner Region

Within his pupils, the Invisible Fire Python was rapidly enlarging. Su Qian's hand seals suddenly moved, and he was the first to let out a loud shout. As his shout fell, the colorful energy net also burst out with dazzling multicolored light!

"Bang!"

Its massive body, carrying an incomparably fierce impact, slammed into the colorful energy net. The powerful force directly caused the energy net to bulge upwards by nearly ten meters. The precarious arc, as if it were about to break, made the students watching from afar break out in a cold sweat.

"Give me a refund!"

With a cold and sharp gaze, Su Qian stared at the Invisible Fire Python struggling frantically in the energy net, and suddenly pressed his palms down hard. Instantly, it seemed as if the air in the entire space was being pressed down.

As Su Qian pressed down with both palms, the energy net that had been squeezed and bulged out suddenly burst forth with intense light. An extremely strong rebound force surged out and directly bounced onto the massive body of the Invisible Fire Python. The force immediately slammed the latter down.

The Invisible Fire Python's giant tail swayed in mid-air for a moment before finally stopping when it was less than ten meters from the ground.

The first attack failed, Invisible Fire Python did not stop at all. With a flick of its giant tail, it shot into the sky again. When it was less than fifty meters away from the energy net, it opened its giant mouth and invisible flames surged out in an overwhelming manner!

As he watched the invisible flames surge towards him like wildfire, Su Qian's expression changed slightly. He rapidly formed hand seals, continuously pouring his powerful Dou Qi into the energy net.

Invisible flames sprayed onto the energy network, and the extremely terrifying temperature immediately caused the energy network to ripple.

However, although the invisible flames were fierce, the energy network formed by eighteen Dou Wang expert and one Dou Zong powerhouse was naturally no ordinary thing. Therefore, a stalemate gradually formed between the two, with neither able to gain the upper hand.

"Grumble!"

Suddenly, another sharp sound wave rang out, and the invisible flames that swept out all around began to writhe. Finally, to Su Qian's greatly changed expression, they condensed into a small fire snake as thick as an arm, and a destructive wave also erupted.

As soon as the fire snake took shape, it slammed into the energy net with terrifying speed, and then exploded!

As the explosion erupted, the energy network trembled violently, and finally, a tiny crack quietly appeared! Because Su Qian and the others reacted extremely quickly, this crack did not cause the energy network to collapse. However, the instant the crack appeared, an extremely violent surge of energy burst forth, shooting straight into the sky. That immense energy fluctuation was clearly perceptible even from a thousand miles away!

"Oh no!"

The moment this violent energy rose and spread, Su Qian's heart sank.

Seeing this, Xiao Yuan below narrowed his eyes.

As expected, we've finally come to this point!

Outside the Jia Nan Academy, in the bamboo forest of Maple City, stands a bamboo building, lush and verdant, filled with the faint fragrance of bamboo.

Among the bamboo buildings, in a bamboo house, a man was sitting cross-legged, wearing an alchemist's robe. On the back of the robe, there was a very finely embroidered word "MAPLE". At this time, the man was immersed in a prescription in his hand. He looked undistracted and seemed to be very focused.

In the midst of quiet contemplation, the man, who had been keeping his head down, suddenly raised his head, his sharp gaze fixed on the distant northern horizon, where he sensed a strange yet vaguely familiar abnormal energy fluctuation.

The man was quite handsome, but his brows were slightly furrowed and his thin lips were tightly pursed, giving him a cold and stern look. However, it was precisely this that made him even more charming.

"This feeling." The scroll in his hand slowly tapped his forehead, countless pieces of information flashing through his mind. After a while, the scroll tapping his forehead suddenly stiffened, and the man's eyes flashed like lightning as he once again shot towards the source of the energy fluctuation. His voice was filled with surprise and astonishment. "This seems to be the fluctuation of Heavenly Flames?"

"Bang!"

The Invisible Fire Python crashed heavily into the colorful energy net again, causing another thunderous explosion. However, the energy net tightened and loosened intermittently, making it impossible for the Invisible Fire Python to escape in a short period of time.

However, with the repeated impacts of the Invisible Fire Python, the vibrant colors on the energy net noticeably dimmed, and the faces of some elders gradually turned pale, their breathing becoming extremely rapid. Clearly, they had expended a considerable amount of Dou Qi to contain the impacts of the Invisible Fire Python! "Bang!"

The Invisible Fire Python crashed into the energy net once more. Its massive body and immense energy made each impact incredibly powerful. After about an hour or two of this almost frenzied collision, one of the elders finally gave out.

"Pfft!"

During a fierce collision, one of the elders was the first to exhaust his Dou Qi, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. He then barely managed to mobilize the last of his Dou Qi, flapped his Dou Qi Wings, and slowly descended.

With the loss of one elder's power, the pressure on the other elders increased dramatically. The Invisible Fire Python seemed to understand that the opportunity had arrived, so it accelerated its impact once again.

As time went by, one by one the elders fell from grace due to the depletion of their Dou Qi.

As he watched the pale-faced elders retreat, Su Qian's expression grew increasingly grim. He had been dealing with the Fallen Heart Flame for years, but he had never truly witnessed its terrifying full-blown Fallen Heart Flame. Now, seeing it with his own eyes, he understood just how terrifying this extraordinary treasure of heaven and earth truly was! In just three hours, ten of the eighteen elders had already retreated, leaving only the remaining eight and Su Qian, who were still struggling to hold on.

At the same time, the Invisible Fire Python was also in bad shape. The energy consumption from such a frenzied collision was enormous, which made the flames on its body dim and weakened the power of its impact.

"Judging from this situation, the elders are about to give up. Brother, when should we make our move?"

Xiao Yan frowned and couldn't help but ask.

Once the Fallen Heart Flame breaks through the defenses, it will likely disappear immediately, making it extremely difficult to find.

"Don't panic, the elders from the Outer Academy are coming! That fluctuation just now will probably attract some powerful figures from the Black-Corner Region. This matter may not be so easy today!"

Xiao Yuan patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder and said in a deep voice.

"A powerful figure from the Black-Corner Region?"

Xiao Yan frowned upon hearing this. If the experts from the Black-Corner Region were to arrive, things would get really troublesome! "Don't worry, there won't be any problems!"

Xiao Yuan smiled at Xiao Yan's anxious expression, then looked up at the eastern sky, where figures were rapidly approaching.

"Haha, Elder Su, it took quite a bit of time to organize the manpower. I hope we're not too late."

A loud, aged laugh suddenly echoed through the sky. This somewhat familiar voice belonged to Hu Qian, the Vice Dean of the Outer Academy!

Meanwhile, as reinforcements from the Outer Academy arrived at the Inner Academy, in Maple City, beyond the mountains, many powerful figures who held significant positions in the Black-Corner Region gathered. Finally, amidst the laughter of the man with maple leaves embroidered on his back, the large group of powerful figures soared into the sky, spread their Douqi Wings, and sped off towards the Inner Academy on the other side of the mountains!

With the arrival of Hu Qian and the others, the remaining ten elders of the Inner Academy were finally able to rest!

Although the Outer Academy experts brought by Hu Qian were generally weaker than the Inner Academy elders, they had the advantage of having a large number of people. Therefore, even though the color of the colorful energy net had become somewhat dim, it was still able to withstand the frenzied impact of the Invisible Fire Python.

As the Invisible Fire Python's impact gradually weakened, Su Qian breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that this beast's strength was not inexhaustible! In the sky, seeing that the collision was fruitless, the Invisible Fire Python finally stopped its futile actions and coiled its massive body in mid-air once again. Its white eyes stared intently at the energy net in the sky, its tongue hissing as it gathered energy.

Seeing this, Hu Qian and Su Qian led the elders to begin the next step of the sealing process.

The mentors also gathered around to assist in sealing the Fallen Heart Flame.

Although the instructors were not as powerful as the elders, they had the advantage of numbers. As a result, a large number of figures moved in a flash, creating a great momentum. Some students in the distance were also excited by this scene and had an urge to go up and lend a helping hand.

The eighty-eight mentors did not possess the ability to fly, so most of them flashed to the treetops around the energy network, their figures at varying heights echoing the elders in the sky.

"Form a sealing array!"

Su Qian, suspended high above the energy net, clenched his fists tightly and shouted in a deep voice.

As Su Qian's shout fell, beams of Dou Qi qi surged from the hands of the elders, their target not the Invisible Fire Python within the energy net, but Su Qian in the sky! Seeing the beams of Dou Qi shooting from all directions, Su Qian's hand seals suddenly changed, and powerful Space Power gathered wildly in front of him, finally forming a vacuum sphere about half a zhang in size. Nearly a hundred beams of Dou Qi qi shot into it, instantly filling the vacuum with boundless Dou Qi!

Sensing the terrifying energy gathering in the sky, the Invisible Fire Python, which was coiled in mid-air recovering its energy, also felt a strong sense of threat. Its pale vertical pupils gleamed with fierce light as it stared at Su Qian in the sky. The scorching invisible flames surged from its body once more, and with a flick of its giant tail, it shot towards the energy net like lightning. The space along the way trembled violently, twisting and wrinkling.

"Call out!"

Its massive body merged with space, finally crashing into the energy net like a giant meteorite. Instantly, a deafening roar, like a mountain collapsing and the earth splitting, erupted from the point of contact. In that instant, the faces of many Outer Academy experts paled slightly.

"That beast is truly terrifying."

Su Qian's face flushed slightly as he stared at the energy net that had been squeezed into an extremely dangerous arc. His Dou Qi poured out like a flood, then continuously poured into the energy net, suppressing it.

However, after that brief contact, the Invisible Fire Python realized how dangerous the energy Su Qian had gathered in the sky was to it, so it struggled desperately. As a result, the energy net gradually dimmed in its light during this struggle.

"Elder Su, hurry!"

Clenching his teeth, Hu Qian's hands trembled slightly as he roared at Su Qian in the sky.

Su Qian's gaze was fixed on the Invisible Fire Python struggling violently in the net below. The huge Dou Qi in his hands was shining brighter and brighter, and his robes were moving without wind.

The Dou Qi in his hand, as it condensed, was almost like a dazzling sun, extremely bright. But in the next instant, the huge Dou Qi suddenly trembled violently, because the condensation of Dou Qi had reached its limit.

Feeling the trembling of the Dou Qi in his hand, a cold glint flashed in Su Qian's eyes. He shouted in a low voice, which suddenly echoed like thunder throughout the Inner Academy: "Beast, go back!"

As the shout fell, Su Qian pressed his hands down sharply. The massive Dou Qi also "whooshed" through the spatial barrier and silently merged into the energy net. Finally, like a cannonball, it slammed into the huge body of the Invisible Fire Python.

"Grumble!"

Struck by such a terrifying attack, even the Invisible Fire Python, with its strength, let out an extremely sharp and shrill cry. The terrifying explosion shoved it violently to the ground, where it crashed into the shattered Heavenly Flame Training Pagoda.

"Seal up!"

The Invisible Fire Python was once again thrown into the Heavenly Flame Training Pagoda. A flash of joy appeared in Su Qian's eyes, and he suddenly formed a hand seal and shouted.

As Su Qian's shout rang out, a layer of light black energy membrane suddenly emerged again from the top of the shattered Heavenly Flame Training Pagoda, completely enveloping the tower's tip.

"Oh!"

As the Fallen Heart Flame was sealed back into the tower, the countless students watching from afar erupted in a deafening cheer.

"Brother! What do we do now?"

Xiao Yan frowned as he gazed at the Heavenly Flame Training Pagoda, which gleamed with black light, and couldn't help but ask.

"Don't rush, the Fallen Heart Flame is not so easy to seal, and the people from the Black-Corner Region are coming!"

Xiao Yuan shook his head and said in a deep voice.

"Black-Corner Region?" Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes and looked up at the clear sky. Although the Inner Academy was shrouded by a Space Barrier, it did not provide much concealment for true experts.

In the sky, gazing at the Fallen Heart Flame that had been sealed once more, Su Qian breathed a sigh of relief. Hearing the cheers from afar, a smile appeared on his face. However, the smile froze abruptly at the sudden chuckle! "Hehe, I didn't expect the Inner Academy to be hiding such a Heavenly Flames. Great Elder Su Qian, you've kept it a secret quite well."

As the laughter subsided, the clear sky suddenly rippled, and a large group of figures flew in, eventually hovering in the sky. Instantly, a bloody aura enveloped the Inner Academy!
