The Battle Begins

"Hehe, I didn't expect the Inner Academy to be hiding such a Heavenly Flames. Great Elder Su Qian, you kept it a secret!" Just as everyone was relaxing and resealing the Fallen Heart Flame, a soft laugh drifted down from the sky.

As the soft laughter subsided, ripples appeared in the clear sky. Then, a large group of figures silently emerged and hovered in the air.

Instantly, a bloody stench enveloped the Inner Academy!

"Who do we have here? It's none other than Medicine Emperor Han Feng of the Black Corner Region!" Looking at the group that had broken through the barrier and appeared above the Inner Academy, Great Elder Su Qian's Great Elder Su Qian slowly settled on the man in the Alchemist's robes at the very front. He squinted at the man and sneered.

"Hehe, Great Elder, you're too kind! That name was just a casual gift from a friend in the Black Corner Region, it shouldn't be taken seriously." The man called Han Feng smiled slightly, his thin lips curving into a forced smile as he addressed Great Elder Su Qian.

"Han Feng, this is Jia Nan Academy. What do you want by coming here uninvited?" The appearance of Han Feng and his group also made Hu Gan's face turn quite ugly. So much so that Hu Gan slowly rose to the side of Great Elder Su Qian and coldly shouted at Han Feng.

"The Heavenly Flames is Heaven and Earth Rare Item. Sealing it here like this is a bit too cruel. As Alchemist, flames are even a kind of faith in Alchemist hearts. Therefore, Han Feng would like to ask the Great Elder to release this Heavenly Flames and not to carry out this kind of imprisonment again." After glancing at the broken Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower, Han Feng said with a light laugh.

"So what if you robbed them? As people of the Black Corner Region, isn't it perfectly natural for you to do this? This hypocritical trick is a bit despicable!" Lin Ming couldn't help but complain inwardly when he heard Han Feng's nagging.

Similarly, upon hearing Han Feng's words, not only did the people in the Inner Academy turn strange, but the gang members behind him also wore odd expressions. However, facing this patron, everyone remained silent and watched his performance.

Seeing the tension between the two sides gradually escalating, Lin Ming slowly stopped and stood up. After this period of recovery, his depleted Dou Qi had almost fully recovered.

Meanwhile, in a secret room in the Inner Academy, Zi Yan, who was sleeping cross-legged, slightly raised her eyebrows, and her lovely big eyes instantly opened.

Upon waking, Zi Yan swung her little arms, making whooshing sounds as she did so. Once the swinging stopped, Zi Yan immediately laughed, "Hehe, Lin Ming's pills are really good! Just one nap and I've increased my cultivation by one star!"

After she finished speaking, Zi Yan took out a Jade Bottle and tilted it downwards. The Medicinal Pill that should have rolled out were nowhere to be seen.

"Waaah, Medicinal Pill are gone. No, I have to go find Lin Ming Minglian!" Zi Yan's words had barely left her lips when she vanished from the secret chamber.

Outside, the two sides, destined to fail in their negotiations, had already clashed on the battlefield. The deep, rumbling palm winds and the dazzling afterimages were continuously transmitted from the battle between Great Elder Su Qian and the two Golden Silver Elders.

"I'll trouble you all to hold off the rest of them. I'll go down and break the seal!" Seeing the figures already engaged in combat, Han Feng knew that although the Golden Silver Elders could fight against Dou Zong expert for a short time, they would definitely be no match for Su Qian, a Dou Zong, in the long run. So, without further ado, he immediately spoke to the people behind him.

"Just some Dou Wang, leave them to us. I've never tasted the blood of these Inner Academy elders before." Blood Sect Master Fan Lao stared menacingly at the Inner Academy elders, grinning and revealing slightly sharp teeth as he spoke.

"Then we'll leave them to you all. Once it's done, we'll give you everything we promised." With the group nodding, Han Feng immediately cupped his hands in greeting, his deep blue Dou Qi Wings on his back fluttered slightly, and then he headed towards the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower.

"Stop them!" Seeing this, Hu Gan waved his hand, and immediately nearly thirty academy experts behind him surged out in a massive wave, blocking Han Feng's path.

"Heh heh, your opponents are us!" A dozen or so figures, carrying a strong aura of blood, suddenly flashed out, intercepting the elders who were blocking Han Feng's path.

The battle in the sky broke out, and Lin Ming and his companions, standing in the center of the battle, immediately became conspicuous.

After all, those within this battle zone are all highly skilled individuals. Didn't you see the other students were all far away? But these three didn't come up to fight, so it's no wonder they were so conspicuous.

"You hold these people off, I'll deal with these three to avoid being caught off guard by their sudden attack," an old man with a sinister expression said at this moment.

Although the elders of the Jia Nan Academy were only Dou Wang, they outnumbered each other. A dozen or so of them had to fight against more than thirty Dou Wang.

Although several of them were Dou Emperor Expert who could hold off multiple Dou Wang, that required extreme concentration.

At this moment, no one can guarantee that they can keep an eye on the actions of these few Dou Wang at all times. If they are caught off guard and ambushed, even Dou Emperor Expert would be doomed to die under the siege of a group of Dou Wang. Therefore, it is better to keep these Dou Wang in the open so that they can be monitored at all times.

"Elder Ban, please go ahead. We'll take care of things here!" someone immediately responded to the old man's suggestion.

This old man was ranked higher on the Black List than even Fan Lao, the Sect Master the Blood Sect, and his strength had reached the level of Six-Star Dou Emperor. It wouldn't take him long to deal with these three Dou Wang. Furthermore, even without him, they could completely hold them off, so many people agreed with his assessment.

"Heh heh, kid! Blame it on the fact that you're from the Jia Nan Academy!" With wings flapping behind him, the old man, known as Elder Ban, immediately let out a hoarse laugh.

For Elder Ban, his connection with the Jia Nan Academy was extremely deep. His faction frequently clashed with the academy's Protector Squad, resulting in countless deaths and injuries in each battle. Now that Jia Nan Academy had several young Dou Wang, he felt he had to nip them in the bud. Once they advanced to Dou Emperor, who in his sect would be able to withstand them? That's why he used this pretext to eliminate these individuals.
