Xiao Yan's gaze swept over the group of people; he was not familiar with any of them.
I only learned about Xiao Huohuo's relationship with the people in the Inner Academy from the conversations of the surrounding students.
But now, Xiao Yan dares not entrust his safety to a group of strangers.
However, Xiao Yan frowned deeply as he looked at the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower, which was now surrounded by crowds.
Xiao Yan didn't think it would be an easy task to sneak into the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower undetected by so many people.
Fortunately, most of the students and faculty members in the square were there to pay their respects to their deceased teachers and students, so they did not stay for long.
Xiao Yan found a secluded spot to wait, and as the sun gradually set, the square fell into silence.
Although many students remained in the square, they were not prohibited from entering.
Dressed in the robes of the Inner Academy disciple, Xiao Yan slowly approached the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower, and no one noticed anything amiss.
Walking to a short distance in front of the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower, Xiao Yan slightly turned his head to look around. Seeing that everyone's attention was not on him, he subtly slipped away and directly entered the interior of the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower.
"This is the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower?"
Upon entering the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower, Xiao Yan looked at this peculiar Herta structure. In the center was a huge hollow that led directly to the bottom, but it was sealed by dense array power.
Xiao Yan could sense that Xiao Huohuo's faint aura came from an unknown depth at the bottom of the Herta.
After a brief look at the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower, Xiao Yan figured out the structure of the building and headed straight for the connecting staircase.
As he continued downwards, Xiao Yan did not encounter any members of the Jia Nan Academy, which relieved him considerably.
"It seems that everyone at the Jia Nan Academy is still rebuilding the Inner Academy and no one has entered the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower."
However, it's understandable that the Inner Academy has become like this.
Ultimately, it's all because of the Fallen Heart Flame within the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower.
Now that the Fallen Heart Flame's rampage has just been sealed, even Lin Yan and the others, who are most obsessed with cultivation, dare not enter the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower.
Only after the Inner Academy confirm that the sealed Fallen Heart Flame is harmless will they likely reopen the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower for students to cultivate.
As Xiao Yan descended, he reached the sixth floor but still hadn't seen a single person, causing him to relax a little.
The eighth floor of the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower has now become its lowest level.
After all, the ninth floor has been sealed by the Grand Elder, and no one can enter it in the future.
It was both a memorial to Xiao Huohuo, who was consumed by the Fallen Heart Flame, and also to protect everyone, as the ninth floor was too close to the Fallen Heart Flame and the losses would outweigh the gains.
Zi Yan sat in a corner on the eighth floor, staring blankly at the stairs leading to the ninth floor, but she didn't have the courage to continue down.
Zi Yan couldn't help but think of Xiao Huohuo, who had been devoured by the Fallen Heart Flame. With a smirk, she took out a bottle of pills from her Storage Ring and threw the " Sugar Bean " inside into her mouth.
Despite the sweetness of the " Sugar Bean," Zi Yan felt a bitter taste for the first time.
"Da... da..."
Just as Zi Yan was still savoring the taste of the " Sugar Bean," a sound suddenly came from the eighth floor. As if caught red-handed, Zi Yan instantly put the pill in her hand back into her Storage Ring.
Her fair, delicate hands clumsily rubbed her face twice, trying to erase non-existent traces.
Worried that being seen like this would contradict her usual big sister image, she glanced around and then hid in a corner on the eighth floor, wanting to see who else dared to disregard the Grand Elder's order and enter the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower.
Soon, in Zi Yan's sight, a somewhat familiar figure walked down the stairs and appeared on the eighth floor.
However, the other party did not stop at all. After glancing at the layout of the eighth floor, they continued to walk towards the bottom of the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower.
Upon seeing this, Zi Yan's brows furrowed instantly.
After the great battle, Elder Su Qian personally ordered the sealing off of the lowest level of the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower, forbidding anyone from entering.
The teachers and students of the Jia Nan Academy are well aware of this.
A thought flashed through Zi Yan's mind in an instant:
This person is someone left behind by the Black-Corner Region! His infiltration into the deepest level is likely an attempt to reopen the seal on the Fallen Heart Flame!
Thinking of this, Zi Yan felt a surge of hatred and looked at Xiao Yan's back with anger.
Xiao Yan, who was heading towards the ninth floor, paused slightly, inwardly exclaiming in alarm.
The existence of his Second Martial Soul Division made Xiao Yan particularly sensitive to these malicious thoughts.
He could clearly sense a strong sense of malice coming from behind him.
However, having now penetrated to the eighth level, Xiao Yan was determined not to retreat. Therefore, upon discovering his opponent, Xiao Yan decided to strike first.
However, before Xiao Yan could make a move, he suddenly noticed a whooshing sound coming from behind him.
"Call!"
Xiao Yan turned around, and in his eyes, a little girl with purple hair was already close to his side, her fair fist already swinging down towards him.
"Laugh!"
Xiao Yan now possesses extremely rich combat experience. Upon sensing the distance between the two, he instinctively attacked, his Soul Power frantically converging into his hand, colliding with Zi Yan's fist.
"Bang!"
The next moment, Xiao Yan's figure flew backward, crashing into the wall at the edge of the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower, and then fell down.
A brief look of confusion flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes before he noticed the pain in his hand. He looked up at Zi Yan in surprise, his eyes filled with disbelief.
How could a girl who looks to be only ten years old possess such terrifying physical strength?
Xiao Yan was astonished by Zi Yan's terrifying strength.
He ultimately knew very little about the people in the Inner Academy. Even though he had heard them call Zi Yan "Big Sister" and " Little Demoness " during the day, he never expected that Zi Yan's strength would be so terrifying.
"Laugh!"
Before Xiao Yan could react, Zi Yan punched Xiao Yan away. The next moment, her figure vanished and reappeared in front of Xiao Yan once again.
However, this time, Xiao Yan was prepared.
" Cold Fire Soul Armor!"
" Cold Fire - Netherworld Lock!"
In an instant, two Soul Ring flashed, and Xiao Yan's body was covered with cold white Soul Armor. Four chains roared out from behind him and Entanglement around Zi Yan.
Zi Yan, who had been swinging her fist at Xiao Yan Xiao Yan, now felt a hint of malice in his strange attack, even though it wasn't Dou Technique.
Zi Yan paused, then reached out and grabbed at the Netherworld Lock chains.
"Smack!"
It's icy cold to the touch!
This was Zi Yan's first reaction. Then, an extremely cold power came from her hand, and Zi Yan felt as if her Soul Power and soul were about to be frozen.
"Haa!"
Sensing something was wrong, Zi Yan roared, and a violent power surged from within her, tearing apart the strange, icy aura within her body.
But then several chains came tangling Entanglement her, enveloping her in the center.
"What kind of sorcery is this?!"
You dare to come after harming Xiao Huohuo? I'll crush your bones today!
