Settling Accounts!

Settling Accounts!

Inner Academy, Su Qian's quarters.

After bringing Fa Wutian here, Su Qian impatiently asked, "Kid, tell me. How do you plan to handle this matter?"

Just as Fa Wutian was about to say that he had found a Newborn Fallen Heart Flame, Su Qian continued on his own, "Forget it, I won't make things difficult for you! The Headmaster had anticipated what happened today! That is why he specially created a device to store the Fallen Heart Flame's power! So, you only need to return to the academy every few years to replenish the device's energy!"

Fa Wutian shook his head upon hearing that.

Su Qian's expression immediately darkened.

"What? Are you planning to take the academy's Fallen Heart Flame for free?"

"That's not what I meant! I just think this is too troublesome!"

"Too troublesome? Hehe! Then tell me, what method do you have to ensure that the Heart Flame in the Burning Sky Qi Refining Tower never runs dry?"

Fa Wutian immediately took the Newborn Fallen Heart Flame out of the Reincarnation Cauldron.

"Great Elder, look at this."

"This..."

Su Qian was equally shocked upon seeing the Newborn Fallen Heart Flame.

"Didn't you devour the Fallen Heart Flame? What's with this one?"

In response to Su Qian's question, Fa Wutian merely said that he had found it in the Magma World.

"The Magma World? That kind of place really is where Heavenly Flames love to gather. I never expected you, kid, to have such fortune—to find a newborn Heavenly Flame in a place like that! But why did you take it out? Could it be that you want to..."

"That's right! I intend to use this Newborn Fallen Heart Flame to compensate the academy! That way, not only will I no longer need to return to the academy frequently to replenish the device's energy, but the academy won't have to remain on guard against the Fallen Heart Flame like before. After all, this Fallen Heart Flame's intelligence has yet to mature. If the academy builds a good relationship with it, it might even become the academy's guardian in the future! What do you think of this threefold solution, Great Elder?"

"Of course that's fine!"

Su Qian immediately agreed to Fa Wutian's proposal.

After all, he did not want Canaan Academy to lose the Fallen Heart Flame, such a powerful tool for attracting students!

Moreover, this Newborn Fallen Heart Flame was far safer than the previous one!

If he refused, he would have to have his head caught in a door!

Su Qian then carefully accepted the Fallen Heart Flame from Fa Wutian.

Seeing how reluctant Su Qian was to let it go, Fa Wutian found it rather dull and cupped his hands in farewell.

"Great Elder, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first."

"Oh, right, there is one more thing! Because of you, Zi Yan ran off somewhere to clear her head these past few days. If you have time, remember to find her and bring her back!"

Fa Wutian nodded at that.

"I understand."

"Mm, go on."

Fa Wutian then turned and left.

After Fa Wutian had gone far away, Su Qian carried the Fallen Heart Flame to discuss with the elders how they should nurture it.

Nine Heavens Pavilion.

When Han Yue and the others saw Fa Wutian return, they were overwhelmed with excitement and immediately crowded around him.

"Fa Wutian, you're finally back!"

"Pavilion Master, welcome home!"

"Didn't I tell you? The Pavilion Master would never fall so easily! Look! Isn't he back now?"

"That's right! I knew the Pavilion Master would return safely!"

Han Yue and the others' enthusiasm made Fa Wutian feel a warmth he had not experienced in a long time.

However, observant as he was, he noticed that the Nine Heavens Pavilion was permeated by a stifling atmosphere. Moreover, many familiar faces were missing from those who had come to welcome him!

Fa Wutian asked in confusion, "How did our Nine Heavens Pavilion end up like this after such a short time? And where are Zhang Li and the other hall masters? Why don't I see them?"

Han Yue's face darkened as she told him everything that had happened during this time.

After hearing it all, Fa Wutian fell silent.

After a long while, he comforted everyone, "All right, all right, don't dwell on such unhappy matters! If they wanted to leave, that was their business! Besides, this wasn't entirely a bad thing! At least it helped our Nine Heavens Pavilion purge those hidden parasites! Those who remained are the ones most worth nurturing in our Nine Heavens Pavilion!"

"The Pavilion Master is right! Those people aren't worth this much grief! As we continue to develop, they'll understand just how foolish their decision was!"

"Pavilion Master, rest assured. We will restore the Nine Heavens Pavilion to its peak as soon as possible! We'll even make it stronger than before!"

Fa Wutian nodded in satisfaction upon hearing their words.

He then looked at Han Yue and said, "Han Yue, send invitations to every faction that suppressed the Nine Heavens Pavilion later. Tell them that in three days, I, Fa Wutian, will hold a banquet at the Nine Heavens Pavilion to entertain them. If they don't come, then don't blame me for paying them a visit!"

Han Yue understood that Fa Wutian intended to make a move against those factions.

So she nodded and said, "I understand!"

Only after making all the arrangements did Fa Wutian turn and leave.

Three days later, Nine Heavens Pavilion.

Intimidated by Fa Wutian's power, every faction that had suppressed the Nine Heavens Pavilion arrived as promised.

Fa Wutian nodded in satisfaction at the sight.

After everyone had taken their seats, Fa Wutian finally spoke slowly, "Everyone, I assume you all know why I invited you here?"

At Fa Wutian's question, everyone was so frightened that they barely dared to breathe.

After all, Fa Wutian was now a Dou King!

To them, he was someone who could crush them to death with ease!

At last, under the immense pressure, someone was the first to break.

"Fa Wutian, I know I was wrong! I shouldn't have taken advantage of your misfortune to seize the Nine Heavens Pavilion's territory! If you're willing to forgive me, my Kuchen Gang is willing to return all the land we occupied. We will also offer one hundred thousand Fire Energy as compensation!"

With someone taking the lead, the others began to waver as well.

Before long, others followed his example and offered to compensate the Nine Heavens Pavilion.

"My Fire Kun Gang will do the same."

"I..."

Fa Wutian waved a hand, signaling for them to sit.

"I can let bygones be bygones for those of you willing to compensate the Nine Heavens Pavilion! But the faction that took the lead won't get off so easily!"

With that, Fa Wutian stared directly at the Sky Wolf Gang's seats!

Bai Lang felt Fa Wutian's piercing gaze and said stiffly, "Fa Wutian, do you dare act against me in defiance of the academy? You should know that the academy has long had a rule: anyone who advances to Dou King must not attack students without authorization!"

"Hehe! So what if I attack you? Do you think the academy would punish me for your sake? Besides, the rule's original wording is that those who advance to Dou King may not attack students without cause! But it seems we have a grudge between us!"

Fa Wutian looked at Bai Lang with a smile, as though he had him completely in his grasp.
