Chapter 67 It's all the fault of the strange fire
"Splash!"
Yun Congxin rushed straight into the mountain stream, the icy mountain spring in the dark night washing over his shivering, burning body, and pale white mist rising upwards.
Within just a dozen minutes, Yun Congxin thought about running away more than once.
Anyway, he hasn't been exposed to the Soul Hall's sight yet, and Yunshan has also made connections with the Soul Hall. As long as he gives up now, whether he stays in the Jia Ma Empire as a local tyrant or joins the Soul Hall as a protector, he can still live a carefree and happy life before the Soul Emperor becomes a Dou Di.
But in the end, Yun Congxin did not choose this path.
Because the Soul Palace and the Soul Clan are simply too inhuman!
The thought of the Soul Emperor sacrificing his life for the Emperor-grade embryonic pill in the bleak future of the Central Continent made Yun Congxin realize that if Xiao Yan hadn't stopped him, the entire Dou Qi Continent would have faced a catastrophe.
In order to advance to the Dou Di realm, he sacrificed the entire Central Continent; in order to travel to the Great Thousand World in the future, will he sacrifice the entire Dou Qi Continent again?
Faced with such a ruthless individual, kneeling and begging for mercy or running away won't guarantee survival. Because, apart from himself, everyone else is nothing more than resources and livestock in his eyes.
The Void Devouring Flame is like this, and so are the Soul Clan. Does that mean that if I kneel down, things won't be the same?
"Calm down, Yun Congxin. Think about it. There might be a way to break this deadlock." Yun Congxin scooped up some stream water and washed his face. He said to himself.
Iron Sword Venerable, Wind Venerable, Xuan Kongzi—one name after another popped into Yun Congxin's mind, only to be quickly rejected by him.
Ultimately, he helplessly discovered that, when facing a figure of the Soul Palace Celestial Venerable level, it seemed that only the eight ancient clans could easily send out powerful individuals with the strength to maintain order.
The eight ancient tribes...
Those bastards are arrogant and stupid, looking down on everyone and stuck in their ways. What can I possibly use to persuade them? Besides, I don't even have the right to meet them!
After much deliberation, Yun Congxin could only come up with one path.
Facing Gu Xun'er directly, he prayed that Gu Yuan, that old man, still had feelings for his daughter.
Without delay, Yun Congxin set off immediately. He soared into the sky, his speed tearing through the clouds and leaving a long trail in the air.
Such anxious actions left Yun Congxin with quite a few traces.
Fortunately, with the Blood Sect Master now dead, Twilight City is leaderless, and countless powerful figures are rampaging through the skies of the Black Corner Region, vying for control of the Blood Sect's resources and wealth. They have also left behind many traces.
"Friend, please wait a moment!"
Above the outer courtyard of Canaan Academy, the vice dean of the outer courtyard stopped Yun Congxin: "To act so recklessly above my academy, aren't you being a bit too arrogant?"
"The situation is urgent, please forgive me." Yun Congxin did not recognize the person in front of him as Hu Qian, the vice dean of the external aid department. He cupped his hands and said, "Is this friend from Canaan Academy? I have urgent business to attend to and need to see Elder Su Qian of the Inner Court immediately."
"I am Hu Qian, the vice dean of Canaan Academy. You may speak with me first if you have something to say." Hu Qian remained unmoved.
Yun Congxin frowned. He suddenly realized that he had gotten used to hiding his strength these days. Hiding his aura and flying in the sky with his battle qi wings on his back might have made Hu Qian mistakenly think that he was a junior who was not as strong as him.
So he put away his battle aura wings, stepped into the void, and released the aura of a Dou Zong level expert.
"A Dou Zong level expert?" Hu Qian's expression changed as expected. He cupped his hands and said, "Elder Su Qian is currently in the inner courtyard. If you have any business, I can personally take you there."
"Very good." Yun Congxin agreed, and the two of them rushed to the inner courtyard without stopping. Their great commotion alarmed the ancient clan's only designated Dou Huang, who was hiding in the shadows.
Ling Ying sensed Yun Congxin's presence and frowned, muttering to himself, "Yunshan? Why isn't the sect leader of Yunlan Sect staying on Yunlan Mountain? What's he doing at Canaan Academy?"
"Xiao Yan hasn't arrived yet, but Yun Shan has come first. This is quite strange, and we must report it to Miss as soon as possible."
For the students of Canaan Academy, there is indeed a considerable distance between the inner and outer courtyards. But for Yun Congxin and Hu Qian, this distance is nothing.
"I never expected that a Dou Zong expert would grace my Canaan Academy with his presence. It is an honor to have such an honor on our inner campus. I am Su Qian. May I ask your name, sir?" Even from a distance, Su Qian sensed the auras of Hu Qian and Yun Congxin. He stood in the sky with his hands behind his back, his aged voice transmitted to Yun Congxin's ears through his Dou Qi.
"I am Yun Congxin, greetings to Elder Su Qian." In his haste, Yun Congxin did not notice Su Qian's wariness towards him. He flew straight to Su Qian before stopping and cupping his hands in greeting.
In the center of Su Qian's hand, which was behind his back, fighting spirit was swirling slowly.
He chuckled twice and gestured for Hu Qian to step back with his eyes: "Mr. Yun, what brings you here from afar?"
"I'll be frank, Elder, is there a strange flame beneath the Heaven-Burning Qi Refining Tower in the inner courtyard?" Yun Congxin asked.
This person was definitely up to no good!
Su Qian began to accelerate the speed at which his internal fighting spirit circulated, and the energy swirling in his palms also began to compress.
"So what if it is?" He narrowed his eyes, his voice cold and threatening.
With his mind filled with the impending catastrophe, Yun Congxin didn't notice the change in Su Qian's tone at all, and he blurted out everything he knew.
"Han Feng, the Medicine Emperor of the Black Corner Region, cultivates a very unique technique that allows him to possess multiple different kinds of flames. He has heard that the Inner Academy possesses a different kind of flame, the Fallen Heart Flame, ranked fourteenth, and he is already recruiting troops, preparing to cause trouble!"
"Oh?" Su Qian's reaction was indifferent. He didn't quite believe Yun Congxin's words. "Then let him come. The reason Canaan Academy has been able to stand firm in the Black Corner Region for so many years is not because of compromising!"
These words were still a threat to Yun Congxin, but Yun Congxin felt that Su Qian did not take the threat posed by Han Feng seriously, and he became very anxious.
"Han Feng has invited many powerful figures on this trip. Elder Su Qian, perhaps we should secretly relocate the students first," Yun Congxin said. "On the surface, he's invited Mo Tianxing, the sect leader of the Black Emperor Sect, to lead the effort, but secretly, he's even enlisted the help of the infamous Soul Hall!"
"A member of the Soul Hall! What connection does Han Feng have with the people of the Soul Hall?" Su Qian's expression finally changed. He swept Yun Congxin over with a scrutinizing gaze, and the speed at which energy was gathering in his palm began to slow down.
"Without the Soul Hall's help, how could he have betrayed the once-renowned Medicine Venerable?" Yun Congxin asked without hesitation. "He relied on the Soul Hall's assistance to successfully betray his master and escape to this Black Corner Region!"
After much deliberation, Su Qian dissipated the energy he had gathered in his hand, and cupped his hands, saying, "Mr. Yun, please come to the courtyard for a chat."
