Chapter 388 Heart Flame Outbreak
Gradually, some of the students around couldn't take it anymore and left.

Until one moment, only Xiao Yan remained on the entire plaza.

Looking at Xiao Yan's calm expression, Su Qian's lips twitched. She knew perfectly well that the inner fire couldn't harm him at all.

After a moment's thought, Su Qian hesitated, wondering whether she should just pull Xiao Yan down to prevent him from continuing to freeload and affecting the seal of the Fallen Heart Flame...

Just then, the lava outside the plaza suddenly calmed down.

Su Qian was slightly taken aback, then her pupils suddenly contracted, and she abruptly turned her head to look at the lava river.

Beneath the seemingly calm river of lava, a powerful energy was brewing.

The energy was so violent that even Su Qian, who was at the Dou Zong realm, couldn't help but feel alarmed.

"Oh no, the Fallen Heart Flame is about to erupt!"

Su Qian felt a chill run down his spine and hurriedly shouted, ordering the elders to reinforce the seal on this place.

After uttering these words, he transformed into a streak of light and rushed towards Xiao Yan, intending to pull Xiao Yan off the jade platform before the Fallen Heart Flame erupted.

"boom!!!"

Just then, an invisible burst of flames erupted from Xiao Yan's body.

The terrifying heat scorched the air, instantly tearing apart the white light shield on Xiao Yan's body and releasing an invisible heat wave that was difficult to see with the naked eye, which crashed onto Su Qian's body.

"Oh!"

With a single strike, Elder Su Qian, a Dou Zong level cultivator, was sent flying by the heatwave.

But the seemingly calm river of lava suddenly underwent a strange change at this moment—

"boom!"

With a deafening roar, the violent energy lurking beneath the river's surface suddenly erupted.

The entire magma world seemed to have been bombed with countless bombs, exploding into countless terrifying pillars of fire.

In an instant, lava surged and flames roared.

Amidst the spewing lava, an almost transparent, invisible fire python, about twenty or thirty feet long, suddenly burst forth from beneath the river's surface.

As soon as it emerged, it raised its head high, as if breaking free from a thousand years of confinement, and let out a sharp, long howl that pierced through the clouds and split rocks!

"grumble--"

The sound waves surged and spread wildly.

Su Qian steadied himself and stood in mid-air, releasing his battle qi to resist the invisible flames on his body while staring at the invisible fire python with a livid expression.

"Damn it, that beast is really breaking the seal!"

Before the words were finished, the fire python lowered its head after its roar, and its triangular pupils, glowing with invisible flames, swept over Su Qian and the others, whose faces were pale, before finally locking onto the young man sitting cross-legged on the jade platform!
Seeing this, Su Qian was startled again and hurriedly shouted:
"Xiao Yan has an extremely close relationship with the Palace Master of Shenxiao Palace, and his life cannot be compromised."

"Elders, quickly follow me and seal this man!"

The elders immediately agreed and dispersed, each forming their own hand seals.

Su Qian did the same, but while forming hand seals, he also mustered his fighting spirit and shouted:
"All elders, proceed to the tower immediately! All students, leave the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower at once! Without my order, no one is permitted to enter within a thousand meters!"

A thunderous shout resounded through the sky, echoing throughout the inner courtyard.

All the students looked surprised and doubtful, and Xun'er's pretty face darkened when she realized that Xiao Yan had not yet come out.

Although she knew that Xiao Yan had long been determined to obtain the Fallen Heart Flame, the current situation was very likely Xiao Yan's doing.

However, as the woman closest to Xiao Yan, Xun'er couldn't help but feel worried and hesitated whether to enter the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower to check on the situation...

"Don't panic, don't panic~"

"I'm coming, brother!"

Just then, a slightly amused voice suddenly entered my ears.

Xun'er's eyes lit up, and she quickly turned around to look. Sure enough, she saw a familiar figure in white behind her.

"Big brother!"

Xun'er looked at Lin Yu with a look of surprise and delight.

After the banquet, Lin Yu did not immediately return to the Battle Through the Heavens with Xiao Yan. Instead, he first took the two newcomers who had just joined the group to visit their residences and choose their favorite palaces.

He rushed over after everything was over, only to find that the Fallen Heart Flame had broken out.

...This shows that timing is everything!
Lin Yu sighed inwardly, then smiled slightly and looked at the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower in front of him, saying leisurely, "If I'm not mistaken, the current situation should be something Xiao Yan did on purpose."

"Sister-in-law, there's no need to panic. Just wait here!"

Upon hearing the words "sister-in-law," Xun'er paused slightly, then her pretty face flushed red, and she said dizzily:

"I'll...I'll do whatever you say, big brother!"

Lin Yu found it amusing, smiled and nodded, then looked down at the bottom of the tower, his gaze seemingly able to pierce through the thick layers of earth and see the vast underground magma world.

"boom!!"

Just as Su Qian and the others made their move and activated a colorful sealing energy shield, another purplish-blue flame, no less powerful than the invisible fire python, suddenly erupted.

Two different flames burned fiercely, intertwining and reflecting each other on the jade platform.

As the flames rose, they annihilated each other, unleashing an even more terrifying energy that slammed into the energy shield that Su Qian and the others had just constructed.

"Shoot-"

In an instant, the colorful energy shield was torn apart by the two raging flames.

Such terrifying power left the academy elders utterly astonished.

Su Qian's pupils constricted sharply, as if she had discovered something. She turned her head abruptly, looking at Xiao Yan with surprise and uncertainty. On the jade platform, Xiao Yan, who was sitting cross-legged, slowly opened his eyes. His entire body was enveloped in a purplish-blue fusion flame, and he calmly stared at the invisible fire python across the distance.

"It's you?!"

Su Qian was shocked and furious, and couldn't help but shout angrily, "You deliberately triggered the outbreak of the Fallen Heart Flame?"

Upon hearing the voice, Xiao Yan looked over and immediately gave a wry smile, explaining in a telepathic voice, "I'm sorry, Elder, although the current situation is not what I intended, the fact that the Fallen Heart Flame is so violent is indeed related to me."

"As you know, I possess a certain kind of strange fire. Just now, when the Heart Flame was being tempered, the two strange fires came into contact, and then..."

Xiao Yan didn't finish speaking, but his meaning was already very clear.

As is well known, different flames attract and devour each other.

After discovering that Xiao Yan possesses another type of strange fire, the Fallen Heart Flame is indeed very likely to be activated.

...That kid is a real jinx!
Su Qian's lips twitched, her face turned ashen, and she couldn't help but glare fiercely at Xiao Yan.

However, on the other hand, he already knew that Xiao Yan possessed a strange fire, but he still failed to think of this and brought Xiao Yan to the Fallen Heart Flame without any precautions.

From this perspective, he, as the Grand Elder, also bears an inescapable responsibility...

"That's it!"

Su Qian sighed, "Since things have come to this, let's think of a way to deal with this beast first!"

Xiao Yan smiled slightly, turned to look at the invisible fire python, and said leisurely, "Elder, don't panic. The Fallen Heart Flame is indeed an extremely powerful strange fire."

"But after the exchange just now, the student suddenly realized that this guy wasn't so strong after all~"

"Hmm?" Su Qian raised an eyebrow, looking at Xiao Yan with some surprise.

He stood up, his entire body engulfed in blazing purple-blue flames, and stared intently at the invisible fire python, saying:

"The outburst just now caused the aura of the Fallen Heart Flame to spread. If nothing unexpected happens, there should be quite a few powerful individuals who covet this strange flame rushing towards this place."

"If the Grand Elder trusts me, he should leave the tower immediately to take charge."

"As for this beast, just hand it over to me!"

Su Qian looked at Xiao Yan suspiciously: "Are you really confident?"

Xiao Yan laughed loudly, and his whole body was engulfed in purplish-blue flames, which transformed into a purplish-blue fire dragon in mid-air, baring its fangs and claws as it surged toward the invisible fire python.

In an instant, the snake and the dragon became entangled, roaring and tearing at each other relentlessly.

Seeing this, the academy elders, including Su Qian, were naturally shocked once again.

They were astonished not only by the evenly matched battle between the cyan-purple fire dragon and the Fallen Heart Flame, but also by Xiao Yan's exquisite fighting skills, which allowed him to condense the strange fire into a dragon with every move.

In fact, this is not a fighting technique, but rather the "Flame Manipulation Technique" from the neighboring world of cultivation.

In "A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality," this thing was merely a fire-based spell manual for a Qi Refining cultivator. But in the hands of Xiao Yan, the future Flame Emperor, it instantly transformed into an incredibly powerful secret technique.

Looking at the dragon and snake locked in a fierce struggle, Su Qian finally believed Xiao Yan's words.

After a moment's thought, he glanced at the other elders and said in a low voice, "You all go first, I will follow shortly!"

"..."

The academy elders looked at each other, but finally obeyed and flew away.

After the elders' figures disappeared, Su Qian turned around and looked at Xiao Yan calmly, saying:
"There are no outsiders here. Tell me the truth, have you been eyeing the Fallen Heart Flame for a long time?"

"..."

Xiao Yan blinked his eyes innocently.

But faced with Su Qian's frank and earnest gaze, Xiao Yan, feeling guilty, ultimately gave in.

After hesitating for a moment, he turned his head away somewhat embarrassedly and nodded slightly.

"I knew it!"

Su Qian snorted, then frowned and asked, "Does the Palace Master also know about this?"

"Of course!"

"That's no problem!"

Su Qian nodded, then stared at Xiao Yan and said, "You are, after all, the youngest Dou Huang of my Canaan Academy. If you really have the ability to subdue the Fallen Heart Flame, I will do my best to give it to you on behalf of the Dean."

"However, this fire is ultimately related to the very foundation of our Canaan Academy."

"If you really want to take it away, you must solve this problem first!"

When he said the last two sentences, Su Qian deliberately raised his voice, as if afraid that Xiao Yan would not hear him.

After these two sentences were uttered, a faint sigh suddenly echoed in the bright underground space.

Immediately afterwards, a dazzling silver light burst forth from in front of Xiao Yan and Su Qian, transforming into a handsome young man dressed in white.

Upon seeing the familiar young man in white, Su Qian smiled and immediately bowed in greeting:

"Su Qian from Canaan Academy greets the Palace Master!"

"..."

Lin Yu rolled his eyes at him, then glared at Xiao Yan with a look of utter disappointment:
"Look at that old fox surnamed Su, and then look at you!"

"They're already eyeing other people's treasures, how can they still be so shameless?"

"They were just a little bit more honest, and you ended up confessing all of that yourself!"

"If you can't even bear this much guilt, how will you ever be able to outwit an old fox like him in the future?"
