Han Feng was also a little bewildered by this Heavenly Flame riot.
He had originally wanted to go and take a look, but thinking of the agreement Su Qian had strictly set with him before, Han Feng did not act rashly.
At this time, any action could attract unnecessary suspicion.
Time passed bit by bit. Just as Han Feng was wondering why the situation over there hadn't been resolved yet, an elder with bloodstained clothes flew over rapidly.
"Elder Han, please come and support us quickly!"
Han Feng instantly appeared in mid-air. Without saying much, he took the elder and rushed towards the Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower at super speed.
Approaching the tower, Han Feng's brows furrowed slightly.
"It seems quite tricky."
The Fallen Heart Flame sensed Han Feng's aura, and all the energy in its body converged to one point.
Seeing this, Su Qian also fully strengthened the barrier at the top of the tower.
Just as he was preparing to receive the Fallen Heart Flame's fierce attack, the other party suddenly turned around and rushed towards the bottom of the tower.
Su Qian was completely stunned.
What was going on?
However, the next second, the sound of the barrier breaking came from the bottom of the tower, making Su Qian turn pale with fright.
"Not good! This beast is trying to..."
At that critical moment, Han Feng arrived in time, rushed to the bottom of the tower, and grabbed the Fallen Heart Flame's tail.
"Elder Su, quickly reinforce the seal! I can't hold on for long!"
Looking at Han Feng below, who was risking his own body to block the fire, a trace of shame suddenly rose in Su Qian's heart.
"Hold on!"
Su Qian did not dare to delay and immediately worked with the numerous elders to set up a formation and repair the barrier.
Half an hour passed. The Fallen Heart Flame tried to break free several times but was firmly locked down by Han Feng.
The elders felt the violent fluctuations coming from below multiple times. While admiration rose in their hearts, they also felt some worry.
Although Elder Han was a seventh-grade alchemist, his cultivation was only at the Dou Emperor level. Even Elder Su Qian, a Dou Ancestor, couldn't handle the Fallen Heart Flame. What kind of price did he have to pay to hold on for so long!
For a moment, all the elders used all their strength, trying their best to speed up the barrier repair process.
With everyone going all out, the concept of time was forgotten.
After an unknown amount of time, the barrier was about to be completely repaired. Su Qian shouted, "Elder Han, come out quickly!"
Han Feng looked at the top of the tower, then at the Fallen Heart Flame. For some reason, his heart was surprisingly calm.
He had originally thought it would be very difficult...
Han Feng sank his body into the magma. The Fallen Heart Flame, having lost its restraint, instantly rushed towards the last gap in the barrier.
This was originally the gap Su Qian had specifically left for Han Feng to escape. Now, seeing no sign of Han Feng but seeing the Fallen Heart Flame rushing over, his heart was filled with grief, but he ruthlessly sealed the last gap.
Buzz!
The intact barrier emitted rays of light, resisting the final impact of the Fallen Heart Flame.
The Fallen Heart Flame, having consumed a lot of energy in its struggle with Han Feng, knew that breaking the seal was hopeless. So it stopped its useless efforts and slowly submerged into the magma.
"Great Elder, Elder Han, he..."
All the elders looked towards Su Qian, their faces filled with grief.
Su Qian was silent.
The Heavenly Flame riot was successfully suppressed, but no one laughed.
Su Qian looked towards the bottom of the tower, hoping in his heart that Han Feng could reappear.
You are someone who could withstand a seventh-grade heavenly thunder, how could you fall in this place!
But besides the surging magma at the bottom of the tower, there was no other movement.
At this moment, Su Qian finally understood. No matter how powerful Han Feng was, he was still just a Dou Emperor.
And this Dou Emperor had accomplished something that even he could not.
Swish swish swish!
In the sky, several figures rapidly approached. Hu Gan, leading the elders of the Outer Academy, finally arrived.
They first looked at the Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower. Seeing that the Fallen Heart Flame had been successfully suppressed, they breathed a sigh of relief.
However, they soon discovered that something was wrong. All the Inner Academy elders present, including Su Qian, looked mournful and remained silent.
"What... what happened?" Hu Gan asked.
Su Qian spoke hoarsely, "Today, all the teachers and students of Jia Nan Academy must remember one person."
"Han Feng."
———
"My apologies, Elder Su."
Han Feng raised his left arm. The Innate Primordial Magnetism transformed into a silver bow and arrow. He gently placed his right hand on the bowstring, and a blue-green flame turned into a sharp arrow.
Heaven offers, but one does not take; instead, one suffers the consequences.
Su Qian calling Han Feng for help this time, although it prevented the Fallen Heart Flame from escaping, also gave him an excellent opportunity for refinement.
The Fallen Heart Flame swam back into the magma, its huge snake pupils meeting Han Feng's gaze.
In just an instant, it felt the threat of "death."
That tiny blue-green flame arrow could definitely kill it with ease.
"Shh..."
Don't move.
Han Feng's gaze was deep and calm as he released the bowstring with his right hand.
The python form of the Fallen Heart Flame trembled violently. It slowly lowered its head and looked at its pierced source flame seed.
———
Han Feng's private courtyard.
Su Qian knocked on the courtyard gate.
"Coming."
Creak.
"Elder Su Qian?"
Ye Qingyun opened the door. Seeing the visitor, she was a little surprised.
"Master, he just went out."
Su Qian opened his mouth, his voice seemingly stuck in his throat.
"Elder Han, he..."
Hearing Su Qian's words, Ye Qingyun's pupils lost focus slightly, then she closed the main gate.
"Please leave, Elder Su Qian. When Master returns, we will entertain you properly."
Before the closed gate, Su Qian stood for a long time.
"Alas..."
With a sigh filled with mixed feelings, Su Qian left with his body hunched.
This was the first time he dared not stand tall in front of someone's home.
Inside the courtyard, Ye Qingyun relayed Su Qian's words to Cai'er and Medusa.
After hearing this, the reaction of the two was surprisingly consistent.
"Han Feng is dead?"
"How is that possible?"
Cai'er didn't even think about it and dismissed it as a joke.
Medusa also didn't believe that Han Feng was dead. However, she thought about it carefully, combining it with the place Ye Qingyun had mentioned, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
"I probably know what Han Feng is up to."
"What?" Ye Qingyun asked quickly.
Medusa recounted the scene she and Han Feng had seen in the magma world.
"Han Feng is an alchemist. I'm afraid his real purpose in coming to Jia Nan Academy was this Heavenly Flame."
Ye Qingyun was stunned for a moment, then sorted out her thoughts.
"So Master is now... refining the Heavenly Flame. Then Elder Su and the others..."
"That group of old men were probably tricked by Han Feng," Medusa said, then started laughing.
You sly Han Feng, actually so cunning.
"I'm still worried. Medusa, could I ask you to go to that place and see if Master is really there?" Ye Qingyun pleaded.
"Alright then, I'll go again. Cai'er, you come with me."
"Okay, little sister."
"Shut up!"
Medusa took Cai'er and left the small courtyard. Ye Qingyun adjusted her emotions alone in her room.
Of course, she wouldn't believe that Han Feng was dead.
But when she heard the news, she was still startled.
"I hope it's really as Medusa said..." Ye Qingyun prayed.
