In the sky above, two figures wreathed in flames—one green and one blue—faced each other from a distance.

The sudden surge of chilling, murderous intent emanating from both combatants cast a somber mood over the battlefield, causing many onlookers' expressions to shift. Although few could discern the details of the grudge between them, Han Feng's behavior made it clear that he was intent on killing Xiao Yan.

While Xiao Yan's expression remained calm, his dark eyes burned with a murderous resolve that even the crowd could sense.

Among those present, only Mo Yu understood the true cause of this bitter animosity. Xiao Yan harbored an intense hatred for Han Feng, who had once betrayed and harmed Yao Lao, Xiao Yan's revered teacher and cherished mentor. Likewise, Han Feng now realized Xiao Yan's identity and likely suspected that Yao Lao was still alive—a revelation that filled him with dread.

For Han Feng, Yao Lao's survival spelled disaster. Yao Lao was a highly respected figure with a wide network of allies. Should word spread about Han Feng's treacherous actions against his former master, his standing and safety would be jeopardized. The renowned Feng Zun-Zhe, for instance, owed Yao Lao a significant debt and had been relentlessly searching for him ever since his disappearance.

Thus, Han Feng's resolve to eliminate Xiao Yan grew even stronger.

As Mo Yu pondered these motivations, Xiao Yan and Han Feng were ready to confront each other without restraint.

With a blank expression, Xiao Yan raised his hand, summoning an even fiercer green flame that spiraled above him like a roaring vortex. Slowly, he extended his left hand, revealing a cold, white flame, which he summoned forth amid the awestruck gaze of the onlookers.

The two flames intertwined, emitting an intense heat that swept over the entire battlefield. Streaks of electricity arced between the flames, and the space surrounding the fire roiled from their clashing energies.

Hovering in mid-air, the black-robed youth held in his palm a two-foot-wide blue and white lotus.

Not far away, Su Qian and the Golden-Silver Elders shifted their gaze to the flame lotus in Xiao Yan's hand, their expressions betraying a deep shock. Even they felt a sense of fear in the face of this deadly power.

As the lotus slowly rotated, Han Feng's expression turned grim. He could feel the overwhelming energy contained within the lotus.

"This madman…" he muttered darkly, channeling his deep blue flames into a large, tangible trident.

Clenching the colossal flame weapon, Han Feng's confidence surged as he stared coldly at Xiao Yan, who was now fully immersed in controlling the flames.

Across from him, Xiao Yan smirked, his dark eyes flashing with icy resolve. "Senior Brother, today, I will purge our sect of its traitor."

Han Feng sneered, gripping his flame trident tightly. "Brat, you sure have a big mouth. Do you think I, Han Feng, fear the likes of you?"

Without responding, Xiao Yan flicked his fingers, and the green-white flame lotus shot forward with a piercing hiss.

As it sped through the air, a deafening silence enveloped the land, and the sky seemed to darken ominously.

"Retreat! Inner Academy Elders, get clear!" Su Qian shouted urgently, realizing the devastating power of the oncoming explosion.

Though puzzled, the Inner Academy elders swiftly withdrew from their opponents and darted toward the ground below.

Meanwhile, Han Feng's remaining allies in the Black-Corner Region froze, stunned by the scene. Above them, the flame lotus and the gigantic trident clashed like two colliding meteors.

The impact shook the heavens and created a massive mushroom cloud of fire, accompanied by an earth-shaking roar that left the crowd's ears ringing. The searing heat wave spread rapidly, painting terror on every face in its path.

As the blue-white mushroom cloud blossomed in the sky, a figure was launched like a ragdoll, plummeting earthward, blood trailing behind him in a vivid arc.

Everyone gasped in shock as they recognized Han Feng, his aura faint and barely hanging on to life.

"He… he really defeated Han Feng?"

The onlookers murmured in disbelief. Han Feng, known for his pinnacle Dou Huang strength and wielding a strange fire, could even contend with a novice Dou Zong. And yet, today, he had been decisively defeated by a youth barely in his twenties.

The crowd fell silent, fully aware of the fame and status that would now follow Xiao Yan.

Meanwhile, Mo Yu looked on with a calm expression, unaffected by the youth's rise in fame.

"Xiao Yan, are you alright?" Mo Yu asked, glancing at the severely injured Han Feng and feeling no surprise. The power of Xiao Yan's Angry Buddha Lotus Flame could even overpower Yun Shan, let alone Han Feng.

At this point, Su Qian, too, had rushed to Xiao Yan's side, relieved to see Han Feng defeated. Without their leader, the Black-Corner Region's forces posed no further threat.

Hearing Mo Yu's voice, Xiao Yan forced a weak smile. His face was pallid, reflecting his current exhaustion.

Just then, the silent Fallen Heart Flame, hidden nearby, began to stir.

While the crowd was momentarily distracted, the flame had stealthily moved toward the blue-white mushroom cloud created by Xiao Yan's attack. Suddenly, a massive suction force erupted from the invisible fire, drawing the lingering flames toward it as though it were a black hole.

Sensing the resurgent power of the Fallen Heart Flame, everyone's faces paled.

The Golden-Silver Elders dared not linger. Hoisting the gravely wounded Han Feng, they fled the Inner Academy grounds, leaving mocking laughter in their wake.

"Su Qian, I leave this little problem to you. Let's see if your academy can survive it," they sneered, their voices echoing mockingly as they retreated.

Mo Yu's eyes narrowed. These troublemakers had now utterly provoked Jia Nan Academy, likely resulting in an irreparable grudge.

With the issue resolved, Mo Yu prepared to request permission from the academy to retaliate against the Black-Corner Region and capture Han Feng. The conflict was now inevitable.

On the other side, Su Qian, with a grim expression, watched the powerful experts from Black-Corner Region flee in the chaos. A strong killing intent flashed in his eyes—this group had completely infuriated him.

But he had no time to focus on them now. Turning toward the countless students nearby, he barked, "Everyone, leave the Inner Academy! Head into the deep mountains!"

Hearing Su Qian's command, the Inner Academy students gathered on the rooftops grew restless.

Although the Fallen Heart Flame in the sky wasn't large, it radiated a terrifying, destructive power. None of them doubted that if it descended, the entire Inner Academy would be incinerated in an instant!

"Ji!"

Elsewhere, after absorbing the remnants of the Angry Buddha Lotus Flame, the Fallen Heart Flame became even more violent.

With a sharp screech, it suddenly shot forth amidst the shocked gazes of the elders. Its target was none other than Xiao Yan, who hovered in the sky! Being targeted by the Fallen Heart Flame once more, Xiao Yan's expression changed drastically. He wanted to evade, but due to using the Angry Buddha Lotus Flame, his Dou Qi was nearly exhausted.

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Yan was engulfed by the Fallen Heart Flame.

Seeing this, Mo Yu's expression froze, and he took a step forward but then stopped again.

Recalling the original story's thrilling sequence where Xiao Yan subdued the Fallen Heart Flame, Mo Yu thought it best not to interfere recklessly.

After all, as the child of fate in Dou Qi Continent, Xiao Yan wasn't so easy to eliminate.

Though Xiao Yan seemed doomed now, if nothing unexpected happened, he would reappear in two years, with a strength that would astonish everyone.

While Mo Yu might save Xiao Yan if he intervened, it would mean bidding farewell to the Fallen Heart Flame.

Not wanting to complicate matters, Mo Yu halted his action.

Once Mo Yu stopped, Xiao Yan's figure vanished completely within the Fallen Heart Flame's blaze.

"Damn beast! Even if it costs my old life today, I will seal you forever!"

Seeing the situation, Su Qian's voice erupted in rage, like a volcano. Immediately, a peculiar black light surged from within him, forming a thick energy net in the sky. As it condensed, it trembled slightly, and in the next instant, it wrapped around the Fallen Heart Flame in a strange binding.

With the net in place, tendrils of smoke began to rise from the Fallen Heart Flame, accompanied by its shrill, incessant wailing.

"Ji!"

Enduring Su Qian's desperate attack, the Fallen Heart Flame emitted another piercing screech. Under the oppressive grip of the black net, it was forced down into the magma world beneath the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower!

"Seal!"

Sensing the Fallen Heart Flame being driven deep into the earth, Su Qian's hands formed a seal, and a strange black light emerged from the tower. It gathered at the tower's peak, creating a dark energy barrier etched with snake-like energy patterns.

As the barrier solidified atop the tower, dense black light slowly surged from the deepest layer of the tower, filling the entire space like a black sea. From this day on, no one would ever enter this area, and the Fallen Heart Flame, sealed deep within, would never escape again!

With the Fallen Heart Flame sealed, the Inner Academy gradually settled down.

Seeing the ravaged Inner Academy, many elders wore expressions of grief and anger. The Jia Nan Academy, standing strong on the continent for so long, had rarely suffered such a massive loss.

This incident not only hurt the academy's prestige but also deeply shamed its elders.

"Mo Yu, I'm sorry… Xiao Yan…"

When he saw Mo Yu approaching, Su Qian wiped the blood from his lips and spoke with some guilt.

As the academy's Great Elder, he failed to protect his student and instead had to rely on Xiao Yan's sacrifice to preserve the academy. Su Qian, normally composed, could not hide the redness in his eyes.

Seeing this, Mo Yu paused, thinking to himself: If you knew what Xiao Yan would gain from this ordeal, would you still feel so sad?

Of course, Mo Yu kept his thoughts to himself, instead putting on a furious expression.

"Great Elder, we must avenge Xiao Yan. Every one of those Black-Corner Region scoundrels that dared to invade today must be eliminated! Even if the academy doesn't act, I, Mo Yu, will!"

"Yes, Mo Yu is right! If our Jia Nan Academy doesn't show its strength, does the world think we're weak?"

"Those Black-Corner Region scum—they should have been wiped out long ago!"

"When it's time to fight Han Feng, I, Old Liu, will be the first to lead the charge!"

…

Mo Yu's words seemed to ignite the rage within everyone. In an instant, dozens of Inner Academy elders shouted indignantly.

How many years had it been since the Jia Nan Academy suffered such a setback?

As the elders' fury mounted, Su Qian looked toward the now-quiet Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower, his eyes narrowing. In a cold voice as sharp as a blade, he declared,

"Don't worry, the academy won't let those who made sacrifices be forgotten. From this day forward, the Jia Nan Academy will initiate the 'Death Spirit Plan' to sweep through the Black-Corner Region!"
