Chapter 138 Conflict (Seeking votes and support)

At this moment, the people fighting outside were still anxious, with the two sides constantly entangled in battle. However, compared to the Ancient Clan's chaotic situation, the Soul Clan looked confident and smug. They believed that even if the group of people inside the barrier who were not even Dou Zong were monstrous, they would be no match for the two five-star Dou Zun in their clan.

On the contrary, the two Dou Sheng of the ancient clan couldn't help but feel nervous. If something happened to Gu Xun'er, Gu Yuan would probably tear them to pieces when they returned. Just thinking about that outcome made their spines tingle, and they kept praying in their hearts.

However, as the barrier dissipated, the scene inside the arena left everyone astonished. Although most of the ancient clan members below were injured, they were not in mortal danger, while Gu Xun'er at the forefront was completely unharmed and instead looked at them with an icy expression.

"How is that possible? Those two bastards even isolated the space jade slip, and they still couldn't solve it?"

At this moment, the two Soul Clan Battle Saints in the sky cursed as they saw this scene. At the same time, they looked down at the girl, who was their target. But for some reason, the girl's gaze was icy cold, making them tremble.

"retreat."

The two saints issued orders to the few Dou Zun who were still fighting behind them. Since the target had failed, there was no point in continuing to fight, and they would only be held back by the enemy's reinforcements.

Seeing that the other party was about to leave, the ancient saints and the others present did not continue to chase after them. After all, their primary goal was to protect Gu Xun'er. If they chased after them, and it turned out to be a diversionary tactic, it would be dangerous.

"If you want to leave, then since you've let him get away, you can all stay and die."

Gu Xun'er touched her lips, which were still damp and warm, as if the lingering fear from the boy's actions earlier still remained. However, thinking that the group of trash in front of her had given her boy a chance to escape, she was filled with killing intent. A jade slip appeared in her right hand, which she crushed directly.

They felt a powerful aura surging forth from the heavens and earth. Everyone present, whether they were Soul Clan or Ancient Clan Battle Saints, trembled involuntarily. In the face of this energy, they were nothing more than slightly larger ants.

An energy figure slowly formed, then coalesced into the shape of Gu Yuan. He glanced at Gu Xun'er below and noticed the Soul Clan members beside him. He immediately understood the current situation and felt a surge of anger. The Soul Clan's influence had been growing ever stronger over the years.

"Xun'er, these people..."

Gu Yuan's avatar slowly turned his head, took control of the Soul Clan members in front of him, and then came to the girl's side and asked slowly.

"Kill him, Father."

At this moment, Gu Xun'er looked at the Soul Clan member who was being controlled in front of her and uttered a few words, which had already strangled his fate. On this continent, regardless of right or wrong, strength is the foundation for building a tall building.

Despite the terror in their eyes, none of them could move under the influence of Gu Yuan's avatar. They then vanished into thin air, unable even to self-destruct.

After scanning the area, Gu Yuan found no one was injured or killed, and his brows relaxed. Thankfully, it was just that the boy seemed to be missing.

Seeing Gu Yuan's state, Gu Xun'er told him what had just happened. In fact, Gu Yuan also had a backup plan left inside her body, which would be triggered as soon as she was attacked. Unfortunately, Xiao Miao only controlled her but did not attack her.

Seeing his daughter like this, Gu Yuan couldn't help but sigh softly. He turned his soul to Zhou Chao and sighed. In an instant, even the powerful figures thousands of miles away trembled, feeling as if their entire bodies had been examined.

But after a while, Gu Yuan frowned. He couldn't sense the boy's aura. Either the boy had concealed himself from him, or he had escaped from the range of his detection. But neither of these situations was easy to achieve. It seemed that he had underestimated the boy's abilities.

Gu Yuan turned around and shook his head at Gu Xun'er, the meaning of which was already clear.

Seeing this, Gu Xun'er was unwilling, but there was nothing she could do. She had been careless on this trip. She never expected that the young man would have the means to break Gu Yuan's seal, and she never expected that the Soul Clan would cause trouble. Otherwise, she might not have had a chance to escape.

At this moment, Gu Xun'er followed behind Gu Yuan's avatar, her killing intent towards the Soul Clan rising steadily. In the future, she would kill every member of the Soul Clan she encountered.

At this moment, the two Dou Sheng of the ancient clan knelt tremblingly in front of Gu Yuan, but he only glanced at them coldly before leading everyone to leave.

Since the Soul Clan was involved this time, it meant that, as he had expected, there was indeed a traitor within the clan. Thinking of this, a cold glint flashed in Gu Yuan's eyes. Only the clan's higher-ups knew about this trip, so it seemed that someone was up to no good.

Meanwhile, within the Black Corner Region, in a luxurious palace courtyard, a figure sat in the main seat with a cold and uncertain expression. If Xiao Miao were to see him, he would surely recognize him as Han Feng, whom he had almost killed earlier.

Ever since Han Feng witnessed Xiao Miao being captured by a powerful figure, he has been trembling with fear. Even recently, he has stopped causing trouble as usual and has been inquiring about Xiao Miao's whereabouts to see if he has returned to Canaan Academy.

And it wasn't until so much time had passed and he still had no clues that his heart began to stir again. He had originally planned to get the strange fire from Xiao Miao before attacking Canaan Academy, but he never expected that Xiao Miao would almost kill him there, leaving him with a deep shadow.

However, he has now summoned many powerful figures from the Black Corner Region again, offering them numerous benefits, and asking them to follow him to Canaan Academy to seize the Strange Flame. However, Han Feng frowned as he looked at the powerful figures below. Fan Lao from the Blood Sect, as well as the two elders, Jin and Yin, had already been killed by Xiao Miao. Otherwise, the combined strength of the three of them would have been more than enough to attack Canaan Academy. But now it seems that it is indeed a bit of a stretch.

This made him weigh things up, but he couldn't let go of his greed for the strange fire. Such a treasure of heaven and earth was something that probably no one could refuse, let alone him.

"My lord, the people of Demon Flame Valley request an audience."

Suddenly, a waiter rushed in and said to Han Feng.

Upon hearing this, Han Feng raised an eyebrow and began to ponder. Why would the people from Demon Flame Valley come here? Given their cunning nature, they probably wouldn't even bother cooperating with him.

Chapter 139 Riot (Seeking votes and support)

"please."

Although Han Feng was wary, he still instructed the waiter to go and inform them, after all, as the saying goes, one doesn't hit a smiling face.

"Long time no see, Brother Han Feng."

At this moment, an old man entered the hall under the guidance of a waiter. He then smiled and spoke to Han Feng, who was in the main seat. However, no matter who it was, his pale face would have looked sinister and cunning.

"Brother Fang Yan, what brings you here? When Han posted that message before, did Demon Flame Valley refuse?"

Han Feng replied with a smile, but his words sounded sarcastic to anyone who heard them.

After exchanging flattery for a while, the two got down to business. After all, Fang Yan wouldn't come to the temple without a reason, so it turned out he had important business to attend to.

"I heard that Brother Han is going to Canaan Academy to find some things. How about letting my Demon Flame Valley join in? We can then each get what we need."

The sinister old man in front of him spoke expressionlessly, but Han Feng knew that he had probably heard some leaked information and was probably targeting him, wanting to go to Canaan Academy to seize the strange fire and wanting to use someone else to kill him.

However, a confident smile appeared on Han Feng's lips. Since the old man in front of him wanted to use someone else to do his dirty work, why couldn't he do the same? So he hit it off with Fang Yan in front of him, and then the group discussed in the hall when to seize the strange fire.

With Xiao Miao's image echoing in Han Feng's mind, he was unwilling to delay any longer, lest something bad happen. So he prepared to go to Canaan Academy as quickly as possible to seize the strange fire.

Meanwhile, inside Canaan Academy, Su Qian was in a real bind. When Medusa broke through to the Dou Zun level, even though he had set up a barrier around her in time to block the pressure she was radiating, all the students who had broken the barrier were interrupted in their cultivation and encountered problems along the way, and now they were all reporting it.

Looking at the pile of documents on the table in front of him, he couldn't help but feel helpless. However, Medusa had now broken through to the Dou Zun level and had left yesterday to go to Zhongzhou to find Xiao Miao.

Recalling the image of the boy in her mind, Su Qian couldn't help but sigh. How could she, a mere Dou Zun, possibly shake the power of that ancient family? Even a Dou Sheng would be powerless to help. She could only wish him good luck, after all, he was an elder of her academy, yet he had been captured by that ancient family, and she was powerless to do anything about it.

Suddenly, a series of powerful auras appeared in his senses within the academy, causing his expression to change. Among these auras were many people he recognized.

"Why are these people at the academy? Oh no, their target is the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower."

At this moment, Su Qian rushed towards the location of the aura with all his might, while constantly praying in his heart that he must catch up. If those people were to release the guy under the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower, the consequences would be unimaginable.

When he arrived, the elders were all fighting against the people of the Black Corner Region. After scanning the surrounding battlefield, he couldn't help but look embarrassed. At this time, the elders of the inner courtyard were all seriously injured, and even a Dou Wang was seriously injured on the ground.

Looking at Han Feng in front of her, Su Qian was filled with rage and questioned him:

"You have quite the nerve to cause trouble at my Canaan Academy. Today, I will make sure you stay here. Heavenly Palm."

Before he could finish speaking, Su Qian swung a palm at Han Feng and Fang Yan beside him, single-handedly holding off the two peak Dou Huangs.

The battle was intense, but due to the injuries suffered by the elders of Canaan Academy, even though Su Qian was holding off two powerful figures, the balance of power on the battlefield was still tilted towards the Black Corner Region.

"You hold him off for now, I'll go and break the seal on the Fallen Heart Flame."

At this moment, Han Feng spoke to Fang Yan beside him, and after the latter gestured, he headed towards the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower.

"asshole."

Seeing Han Feng's actions, Su Qian couldn't help but curse under his breath. He then tried to bypass the old man in front of him and chase after him, but unexpectedly, he was relentlessly entangled by the old man.

"Do you people even know that once the Fallen Heart Flame erupts, it can't distinguish between friend and foe?"

"Hehehe, so what? These rare treasures of heaven and earth are born between heaven and earth. You imprison them and enjoy them by yourselves. That is selfishness. They should naturally belong to the capable."

The old man in front of him naturally ignored Su Qian's words. Instead, he spoke in a sinister tone, while his eyes occasionally drifted towards the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower not far away.

Seeing Han Feng enter the Heavenly Flame Qi Refining Tower, Su Qian's eyes widened in fury. If the latter succeeded, all the inner courtyard disciples would suffer.

At the very bottom of the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower, Han Feng had already entered from the outside. The scene here was almost completely different from that above. The scorching temperature rose in the vast space, making even the vision somewhat blurry and illusory. Taking a light breath into it, he immediately felt a flame-like sensation, which truly fascinated Han Feng. This was the strange fire he had been pursuing all along, the Fallen Heart Flame, ranked fourteenth on the Strange Fire Ranking.

A fiery red light seeped out from somewhere, illuminating the entire space quite brightly. In the center of this space, there was an extremely spacious deep cave. The entrance to this cave was wider than any of the previous levels, and it was not a bottomless blackness, but rather filled with a faint dark red, like congealed blood.

Outside the deep cave, a visible cylindrical energy shield firmly sealed it off. The surface of the energy shield was covered with various mysterious patterns, like the winding indentations left by a snake. Moreover, the energy shield here was extremely violent, with wisps of malevolent energy constantly spreading out, and even faint, extremely deep bursts of air could be heard.

At this moment, Han Feng activated his power, the Sea Heart Flame in his palm drawing upon the vibrant flames before him. He seemed to sense the surge of violent energy, his eyes filled with greed, and he murmured incessantly:

"This Fallen Heart Flame will eventually be mine."

Han Feng immediately channeled his battle qi and launched an attack at the energy shield, then rushed outwards at an extremely fast speed.

"Oh!"

Just as Su Qian and Fang Yan were entangled outside, a deep voice suddenly came from outside.

Su Qian's face darkened upon hearing the voice, indicating that Han Feng had most likely succeeded. In contrast, Fang Yan on the other side wore a smile, a sinister glint in his eyes, as he glanced at Han Feng approaching from behind.

"We've got Brother Fang back."

Han Feng arrived at this moment, ignoring Su Qian's murderous glare, and instead gestured to Fang Yan.

"Oh!"

Just as the three were locked in a standoff, another deep voice quietly rang out, and this voice was even louder than the previous one, as if something was about to break free of its cage.

Hearing the increasingly loud noise, Su Qian was extremely anxious, but the two people in front of him were clinging to him tightly, making it impossible for him to break free.

Su Qian slowly clenched her fist within her robe, her expression shifting between light and shadow, appearing somewhat gloomy under the reflection of the dark red light.

Suddenly, everyone turned their gaze toward the underground magma world, where an extremely violent and powerful energy was slowly surging out from the magma. As this violent energy surged, the tranquility of the magma world beneath the Heavenly Refining Tower was shattered.

A gale, seemingly from nowhere, howled above the magma, carrying it up to swell and surge with fiery waves ten feet high before crashing down with tremendous force. The deafening roar of that instant was like the collapse of the heavens and the splitting of the earth!

"It's too late, you two bastards!"

At this moment, Su Qian looked at the two treacherous guys in front of him, and his powerful battle qi surged out. As long as he dealt with one of them, the other one would be easy to handle.
