Chapter 157: Chapter 157: People from the Black-Corner Region, protect the Fallen Heart Flame to death!
"Are they here?"
Xiao Yan looked up at the sky, and at some unknown time, a faint blood mist began to spread.
The wind, mixed with a bloody scent, blew from afar.
In the sky, there was first a fluctuation, followed by a large group of figures appearing.
"Hehe, I didn't expect the inner courtyard to still hide such a Heavenly Flame. Grand Elder Su Qian, you've kept it quite secret."
Laughter spread, as if there was a kind of magic that abruptly silenced the cheers of the students.
All the students looked bewilderedly at the group of people in the sky, for a moment unable to understand the situation.
Su Qian had just sent Lin Xiu into the tower, instructing him to focus on dealing with the Fallen Heart Flame.
Upon hearing the laughter, he followed the sound and saw a man wearing Alchemist robes standing in front of the crowd, with a cold smile on his face.
"So, it's Medicine Emperor Han Feng from the Black-Corner Region."
The moment Su Qian saw the other party's face clearly, his expression became gloomy.
Alchemists have always attached great importance to Heavenly Flames and would often spare no expense to seek information about them.
As a well-known Alchemist in the Black-Corner Region, Han Feng would naturally not miss out on searching for Heavenly Flames.
Bringing so many people, it was obviously not for a friendly visit!
"Han Feng, this is the territory of our Jia Nan Academy. You come uninvited. What do you intend to do?"
Hu Gan stopped beside Su Qian and questioned sharply.
Han Feng smiled lightly, his gaze sweeping over the broken top of the alchemy tower.
He said gently, "Heavenly Flame is a rare treasure of heaven and earth. Sealing it here in such a manner is somewhat cruel. As an Alchemist, the flame can even be said to be a kind of faith in our hearts.
Therefore, Han Feng wishes for the Grand Elder to release this Heavenly Flame and not engage in such imprisonment."
As the words fell, those present, including Su Qian, Hu Gan, and the people from the Black-Corner Region, couldn't help but twitch their facial muscles.
"In a place like the Black-Corner Region, killing is just a daily occurrence. It's too hypocritical for this guy to pity the Fallen Heart Flame," Xiao Yan couldn't help but comment after hearing his words.
"Some people only know the surface of others, compared to his past deeds, this bit of hypocrisy is just a trivial matter," Yao Chen's tone was somewhat cold, with a hint of trembling.
"Teacher, you knew him before?" Xiao Yan felt surprised when he noticed that Old Yao's emotions were somewhat out of control.
Yao Chen remained silent.
"Han Feng, if you want to seize the Heavenly Flame, rely on your strength. Don't beat around the bush here. It doesn't befit your dignified status as a Medicine Emperor," Hu Gan said firmly.
Su Qian's expression was cold.
He had already recognized the people behind Han Feng, including the leaders of Blood Sect, Ground Fire Sect, and Eight Gates.
These forces were among the top in the Black-Corner Region.
It wasn't an easy task for an ordinary person to gather them.
"Hehe, Grand Elder is indeed straightforward. Since you've pointed it out, I won't beat around the bush. You should understand the importance of the Heavenly Flame to us Alchemists. As long as Grand Elder is willing to hand over the Fallen Heart Flame to me, no matter what conditions you set, I will do my best to fulfill them!"
Han Feng sighed, his expression becoming serious.
"Don't give me this act. Who do you think you are, Han Feng? Do you think I don't see through you? Your promises are worthless. If it were your teacher, Medicine Sovereign, perhaps I would consider it seriously."
A hint of mockery appeared at the corner of Su Qian's mouth, as if amused by Han Feng's antics, a hint of ridicule on his face.
"Teacher, aren't you Medicine Sovereign? Is that Han Feng your disciple?"
Listening to the conversation between the two, Xiao Yan was stunned and immediately inquired in his mind.
"This matter is complicated. I owe my current status entirely to that scoundrel. I'll tell you more when there's a chance. Be prepared, when they start fighting, our opportunity will come."
Yao Chen's voice revealed an undisguised killing intent, but he could still restrain himself and discern the urgency of the situation.
"Got it."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan felt a surge of gratitude. As he glanced at Han Feng, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.
After being rejected, Han Feng's smile completely faded from his face, and his gaze turned cold. "Since Grand Elder doesn't want to hand it over, then don't blame me for taking it by force."
A Blue Flame ignited on his body, emitting intense heat into the air.
"Han Feng, I advise you to leave early. I can pretend nothing happened. Otherwise, when the Headmaster returns, none of you present here will likely escape."
Su Qian shouted sternly.
Compared to the Inner Courtyard, the Black-Corner Region was clearly outnumbered, but they had several leaders, all of whom were Dou Emperor-level experts.
On the other hand, among the people present from the Academy, only Hu Gan was a Dou Emperor, while the others were all Dou King-level.
If they were to fight, the specific outcome was hard to predict.
"Hehe, Grand Elder doesn't need to use the Headmaster to intimidate me. He hasn't shown up for so many years. Now, whether he's alive or dead remains to be seen."
Han Feng showed no fear whatsoever. On the contrary, his gaze was fixed on the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower, evidently determined to obtain the Fallen Heart Flame.
"Then you may come and try!"
Su Qian extended his palms from his sleeves, gently clenched them, and a powerful force surged from his body, causing the surrounding space to tremble violently. "Elders, follow my command, protect the Heavenly Flame at all costs!"
"Grand Elder, I know you are a strong Dou Ancestor, so I've made special preparations for you."
Sensing the oppressive aura approaching, Han Feng took a step back, a hint of sneer crossing his face. "Mr. Gold and Mr. Silver, please reveal yourselves!"
Two laughter suddenly rang out, causing a ripple in the space. Two figures, one gold and one silver, emerged in the sky like phantoms.
Su Qian's expression changed.
These two, Mr. Gold and Mr. Silver, were also at the top of the Black-Corner Region's blacklist. As twin brothers with identical Qi Method cultivation, their combined strength, although not at the level of Dou Ancestor individually, still posed a significant threat even against a Dou Ancestor.
The appearance of the two made Su Qian's plan to quickly deal with them with thunderous force directly shattered.
Seeing the two join in, Su Qian fully understood that there was no turning back today. The only way to protect the Fallen Heart Flame was to defeat them.
The battle was about to erupt, and as Su Qian took the initiative, the melee began.
Several elders teamed up to deal with a Dou Emperor, causing the scene to become extremely chaotic, with various Dou Qi flying everywhere.
The students who were originally watching felt the terrifying energy surges splashing around. They watched as one large pit after another was blasted into the ground, and they all retreated.
Among the crowd, Xiao Yan shifted to a position closer to Han Feng.
Hu Gan initiated an attack against Han Feng, but Han Feng possessed the Heavenly Flame, causing Hu Gan to refrain from using his full strength and needing to allocate some power for defense.
In their battle circle, Hu Gan was somewhat at a disadvantage.
"Since I can't enter the tower in front of everyone, I'll help my teacher clear the way first!"
Although Old Yao said he didn't care, Xiao Yan sensed his teacher's thoughts from the burning hot ring on his hand.
Meanwhile.
Inside the tower, Lin Xiu was facing the Fallen Heart Flame. Despite being repressed again, the latter was still not to be underestimated.
Several times he attempted to separate the power of the Fallen Heart Flame, but each time he was suppressed back by the Fallen Heart Flame.
"Damn it, truly worthy of being a Heavenly Flame. Even when sealed and suppressed like this, it still doesn't work! You're really a tough nut to crack."
Lin Xiu inwardly lamented.
