At this moment, Xiao Fan was lying comfortably on a recliner in the center of the courtyard.

Yes, Xiao Fan specially built a deck chair in the center of their campus, where he would lie every day, ostensibly to regulate his breathing.

So when Xiao Fan saw Hu Jia and Xun'er return so early, he was completely bewildered.

After hearing Hu Jia and the others' explanation, Xiao Fan realized what had happened.

It turns out that something unexpected happened inside the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower.

Many elders from the inner courtyard appeared there and strictly ordered the students cultivating inside to leave the Heavenly Flame Qi Refining Tower.

"You were all kicked out?"

Xiao Fan looked at Xun'er and Hu Jia in front of him, squinted his eyes and asked curiously.

Hu Jia nodded and said with a hint of strange fire, "I don't know why, but while we were still cultivating, the temperature inside the tower suddenly rose a lot, and then the tower-guarding elder asked everyone to leave the tower immediately."

As she spoke, Hu Jia asked Xiao Fan with a curious look, "Do you know why?"

Xiao Fan raised an eyebrow, shrugged, and replied, "I didn't go to cultivate, how would I know why?"

But Xiao Fan guessed that the fact that so many elders had been mobilized meant that the Fallen Heart Flame inside the tower must have rioted again.

The gathering of so many elders is likely to further strengthen the array seal within the Black Tower.

......

On the sixth floor of the Black Tower, an elderly man with gray hair stood in front of many elders, watching Xiao Yan disappear down the stairs. Without turning around, he simply said, "These two little fellows, their talent is truly astonishing!"

“Who says otherwise?” Elder Hao, standing behind the old man, stepped forward and laughed, “If the First Elder hadn’t mentioned it, I wouldn’t have known that Xiao Yan had already broken through to the three-star Dou Ling level!”

The old man standing in front of the many elders was none other than the Grand Elder of the Inner Court, named Su Qian.

The Grand Elder nodded and turned to the other elders, asking, "Have all the students cultivating inside the tower been cleared out?"

Upon hearing the Grand Elder's words, an elder who managed the Black Tower stepped forward from the crowd and respectfully said to the Grand Elder, "It has all been cleared. All the students who were cultivating inside the tower have been evacuated."

"Alright." The elder's aura suddenly changed, and his voice became somewhat cold and sharp.

"Elders guarding each floor, check the formations in your respective areas. The rest of you, come with me to the bottom of the tower to reinforce the seal. The Strong Ranking Competition is just around the corner, and the Black Tower must not be allowed to have any problems at this time."

"In the Black Corner Region, Han Feng has long suspected the existence of a strange fire in the inner courtyard. He has approached the inner courtyard many times because he suspects that there is a strange fire there. If the seal is broken, he probably won't be able to stay idle."

"Han Feng!?" An elder in the crowd frowned. "Han Feng is a sixth-grade alchemist, but isn't it rumored that he already possesses a different kind of fire? Why would he still covet this thing from our inner courtyard?"

"Who knows?" The elder shook his head, his tone carrying a somewhat enigmatic meaning.

"Han Feng was a disciple of the Medicine Venerable who once dominated the continent. However, decades ago, news suddenly spread that the Medicine Venerable had failed in alchemy and died. I don't believe that the Medicine Venerable, a peak eighth-grade alchemist, would actually perish because of alchemy."

"Moreover, over the years, Venerable Medicine's friend, Venerable Wind, has had a very suspicious attitude toward Han Feng."

The elder spoke for a moment, then shook his head helplessly, his tone heavy.

"In short, we absolutely cannot let this seal break, otherwise, the inner academy will likely face a catastrophe. The power of a sixth-grade alchemist to gather resources is a real headache."

"Then... how about we notify the dean to come back and oversee things?"

Hearing the Grand Elder's serious words, one of the elders couldn't help but say, "The disciples of the Inner Court are generally only at the Great Dou Master level. If the people from the Black Corner Region really attack the Inner Court, they simply won't be able to stop them."
