Facing Su Qian's question, Xiao Yan merely smiled faintly. He neither nodded nor shook his head. Instead, he glanced at Su Qian and then spoke:
"I've heard that entering the final level requires the Great Elder's personal approval. I wonder if the Great Elder would be willing to give me this opportunity?"
Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Su Qian fell into brief silence.
Although everything Xiao Yan said sounded reasonable, the matter of Han Feng from before made him hesitate.
Was the man before him truly more trustworthy than Han Feng had been?
While Su Qian was hesitating, another tremor came from the calm depths of the Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower. This time, Su Qian could keenly sense that even the Fallen Heart Flames within the tower had been affected.
"Very well. I'll take Elder Yan Xiao to have a look at the Fallen Heart Flame. However, I hope Elder Yan Xiao will remember our agreement. Otherwise, even if I were to die, this academy may not lack powerhouses capable of restraining Mr. Yan Xiao."
Su Qian's words caused the two elders beside him to change expression slightly. The implication of the Great Elder's statement seemed to be that he himself was not this Elder Yan Xiao's match.
Realizing this, the way they looked at Xiao Yan now carried a trace of fear.
Half a year ago, an Alchemy Department elder named Han Feng had quietly killed two guarding elders here before infiltrating underground.
Had Su Qian not discovered it in time, the Inner Academy would likely have already been destroyed.
Even so, a powerhouse like the Great Elder had nearly fallen at that man's hands.
If Xiao Yan harbored similar intentions today, the two of them might also perish here without a sound.
"Sorry—there really isn't anyone in Jia Nan Academy who can restrain me," Xiao Yan thought to himself.
With his current strength, even without relying on the Civil and Martial Saints, he was practically invincible below the Dou Zun realm. Those Dou Zong powerhouses of Jia Nan Academy, with their shallow foundations, wouldn't even be enough for him to handle alone.
After Su Qian agreed, Xiao Yan finally passed through the final level of the Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower and arrived at the area covered by the energy barrier.
Accompanied by Su Qian, Xiao Yan stood outside the barrier, looking at the dark red, blood-like magma within. A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Tsk tsk tsk, tsk tsk tsk!"
Under Su Qian's bewildered gaze, Xiao Yan let out a series of sounds as if calling a dog.
What shocked Su Qian even more was that shortly after Xiao Yan made those sounds, the dark red magma sea eerily split apart, as if a gigantic serpent were swimming within it.
Within everyone's soul perception, a massive fire python, twenty to thirty zhang long, appeared in their spiritual vision.
How has it become this strong?
The moment he saw the Fallen Heart Flame, Su Qian's expression changed slightly.
After appearing in the magma world, the formless fire python ignored the fearful gazes of Su Qian and the others. Instead, it stared warily at Xiao Yan with nearly transparent triangular eyes.
"Heh heh, a mere Fallen Heart Flame—just obediently fall into my palm," Xiao Yan said with a sinister chuckle.
Unlike the fear felt by Su Qian and the others, Xiao Yan's face showed excitement, as if he were looking at delicious food.
After devouring this Fallen Heart Flame, even if his cultivation did not break through to the Dou Zun realm, it would still reach the peak Dou Zong level.
As if understanding Xiao Yan's words, the formless fire python quickly coiled its body, letting out low, warning hisses.
Unfortunately, Xiao Yan paid no attention to its vigilance. Instead, he looked at Su Qian and said, "Great Elder, you'd better hurry and evacuate the students. Otherwise, once the fighting starts, these students may suffer severe injuries—or even die."
Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Su Qian's expression changed again. He looked at Xiao Yan with displeasure and said, "Are you planning to obtain the Fallen Heart Flame right now? Don't forget—"
"Don't forget our agreement?" Xiao Yan smiled faintly and continued, "I'm just helping you weaken the Fallen Heart Flame first. Otherwise, if it goes berserk, I'm afraid many students in the Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower will be seriously injured or even lose their lives."
After hearing this, Su Qian's gaze swept over the massive body of the Fallen Heart Flame. After a moment, he gritted his teeth and nodded.
"Fine!"
Soon, the two elders behind him quickly notified the students on each level to evacuate.
At this moment, on the third level, Han Yue and Elder Hao both wore confused expressions.
"What's going on? Why did they suddenly seal the Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower today?"
Han Yue frowned slightly. She had originally planned to cultivate here properly today.
Elder Hao was also momentarily stunned, but after receiving the message from his transmission token, his expression changed drastically.
"The thing at the bottom of the tower is about to riot. Hurry—quickly evacuate the students!"
Elder Hao hurriedly called for Han Yue's help, but shock suddenly appeared on his face.
Seeing Elder Hao's expression, Han Yue seemed to realize something. A look of alarm surfaced on her delicate face.
"Could it be because of that Elder Yan Xiao?"
Elder Hao nodded slightly, then reminded her solemnly, "This matter is extremely important. Don't mention it to anyone else."
Han Yue nodded seriously and then helped evacuate the students who were still in seclusion.
Deep in her heart, however, her impression of Elder Yan Xiao grew even more unfathomable.
Unknowingly, this Elder Yan Xiao had become increasingly powerful and mysterious in her mind.
At the bottom of the Qi Refining Tower, Xiao Yan smiled faintly at Su Qian and said, "Open a gap in the seal and let me in."
Su Qian carefully looked at Xiao Yan once more. After hesitating for a moment, he slowly said, "Your actions now concern the future of our entire Jia Nan Academy. I hope you act with caution!"
After speaking, he lightly brushed his palm across the seal. A hole large enough for one person immediately appeared out of thin air.
The instant this opening appeared, a look of frenzied excitement surfaced in the eyes of the formless fire python. It rushed toward the gap almost recklessly.
The next moment, Xiao Yan's figure appeared right in front of it.
"Evil beast—trying to escape?" Xiao Yan laughed sinisterly. With a wave of his hand, seven-colored flames condensed in midair into a gigantic palm dozens of zhang in size, pressing down toward the fire python.
Seeing this, Su Qian quickly formed hand seals and rapidly repaired the energy barrier once more.
Boom!
The massive seven-colored flaming palm slammed into the Fallen Heart Flame, smashing its body—just as it was rushing out of the magma—back down. In an instant, magma waves tens of zhang high surged deep underground.
"Roar!"
Under Xiao Yan's assault, the Fallen Heart Flame finally went berserk, releasing a terrifying sound wave capable of shattering an ordinary Dou Ling.
Even Su Qian's expression changed at the display of such power. However, in the next moment, yet another enormous seven-colored flaming palm slammed down onto the formless fire python.
Su Qian discovered in horror that this formless fire python—something even the guardians feared—had almost no power to resist in Xiao Yan's hands.
Seeing this scene, a cold sweat suddenly poured down Su Qian's back.
