Upon receiving the news from Lin Xiu, Su Qian took the lead, fully utilizing his Dou Ancestor strength, fearing that Lin Xiu and the others might encounter accidents.
Encountering them halfway was truly unexpected for him.
The four elders subsequently briefed Su Qian on the situation.
After hearing it all, Su Qian's expression was filled with astonishment and disbelief.
The Gold and Silver Elders are actually dead?
He knew their strength well from previous encounters.
Lin Xiu, a newly promoted Dou Emperor not long ago, could actually hold his own against Elder Silver in a one-on-one fight.
It was truly unbelievable.
Moreover, the Pills refined by Lin Xiu were actually able to enlist the help of a Dou Ancestor.
This was also something that shocked Su Qian.
To achieve this level, it certainly couldn't be done with Second Grade or Third Grade Pills.
In other words, Lin Xiu's skill in alchemy had already surpassed Third Grade and above.
It hasn't been long since he cultivated the Fire Spirit until now...
A series of events left the esteemed Grand Elder of Jia Nan Academy lost in thought for a long time.
Initially, Su Qian believed that Lin Xiu's cultivation of the Flame Soul Separation Technique would help the Academy deal with the threat of the Fallen Heart Flame.
The facts proved that his speculation was correct.
Then, Lin Xiu's displayed talent, at the age of just over twenty, actually promoted him to Dou Emperor.
Although there were some other factors in this promotion process, it was also part of Lin Xiu's opportunities and fortunes.
As a result, Lin Xiu has now mastered alchemy through his own efforts, which is truly terrifying talent.
"The Academy has really struck gold."
Su Qian felt genuinely delighted.
In all the years Jia Nan Academy has been operating, they have never encountered a student like Lin Xiu.
"Good, with the Gold and Silver Elders dead, it will be enough to make those guys retreat for a while."
Su Qian looked at Lin Xiu with a satisfied expression, "You did well, but next time, don't act so impulsively. The Academy won't abandon any student, but if something were to happen to you, it would be a major blow to the Academy."
"Thank you for your concern, Grand Elder," Lin Xiu replied with a smile.
"Now that everyone is safe, let's head back to the Academy," Su Qian instructed.
"Wait, Grand Elder."
At this moment, Lin Xiu spoke up, drawing Su Qian's puzzled gaze, "The mastermind behind this incident, including the earlier dispute over the Fallen Heart Flame, is connected to Han Feng."
Su Qian nodded slightly and continued to look at him.
"As long as Han Feng remains, the Academy will continue to be targeted by him. Grand Elder, since you're already out, why don't we go to Feng City together?" Lin Xiu suggested.
Lin Xiu knew that Han Feng had connections with the Hall of Souls, but he wasn't sure if those connections still existed.
However, what he could be sure of was that as long as Han Feng wasn't dealt with, he would definitely reach out to people from the Hall of Souls in the future and continue to act against Jia Nan Academy.
Now that the Gold and Silver Elders were dead, Han Feng likely had few allies around him.
On the other hand, besides his own strength, Lin Xiu had the Grand Elder and Medusa on his side, making it an excellent opportunity.
After hearing Lin Xiu's words, Su Qian, the four elders, and Han Yue couldn't help but show astonishment on their faces.
Each of them looked at him with some surprise.
After just killing the Gold and Silver Elders, Lin Xiu has now set his sights on the renowned Medicine Emperor of the Black-Corner Region, Han Feng.
Jia Nan Academy is indeed an academy, but suddenly it feels like a cage for a fierce beast.
And Lin Xiu is the fierce beast released from within.
Silence before action. But once he acts, it's like a thunderous momentum!
If Han Feng also dies, along with the Gold and Silver Elders, it's likely that no force in the Black-Corner Region would dare to harbor any thoughts against the Academy.
The several elders looked towards the contemplative Grand Elder.
They all needed to hear Su Qian's opinion to determine their next actions.
At this moment, Su Qian was also somewhat surprised by Lin Xiu's decisiveness and ruthlessness.
It had to be said that he was deeply tempted by Lin Xiu's proposal.
Originally, the Academy's plan was to deal with Han Feng.
After all, Han Feng is the one who truly covets the Fallen Heart Flame.
"Alright, as you wish, I'll accompany you on this trip," Su Qian agreed after some thought, believing the plan had a very high chance of success.
...
Feng City.
In an attic, a man sat behind a desk, his gaze lowered as he scanned the prescription laid flat in his palm.
There was a prominent "Feng" character embroidered on the back of his clothes.
"What's going on? Why do I suddenly feel uneasy?" Han Feng set down the prescription and pinched the bridge of his nose.
The room was silent, without a stir.
"Han Beng!" he called out towards the door.
"Master, Master Han went out and hasn't returned yet," a voice answered from outside.
Confused, Han Feng sighed and tapped his forehead. "How is the situation at Jia Nan Academy?"
"Master, not long ago, a figure hurriedly left. It should have been Dou Ancestor Su Qian who had urgent matters to attend to," came the reply.
The person replied, "It's urgent. It seems the plan has succeeded. The arranged location is extremely far from the Academy. Even if Su Qian is a Dou Ancestor, it's unlikely he'll make it in time after receiving the message."
Han Feng sighed, "It's a pity Protector Xuan isn't here right now. Otherwise, we could have teamed up to visit the Inner Court of Jia Nan Academy."
He instructed towards the door, "When Han Beng returns, have him come to see me immediately."
"Yes," the person responded.
Later on, Han Feng still felt uneasy, pacing back and forth in the room.
"What's wrong with me?" He gripped the window sill with both hands, looking into the distance at the sky.
The morning had been calm and sunny, but now the weather had suddenly changed. Dark clouds gathered, wind howled, and leaves shook violently.
It looked like a storm was brewing.
"What went wrong?" Han Feng was puzzled.
Suddenly, his gaze sharpened, a hint of suspicion flickering in his eyes. "Could something have happened to Han Beng?" The thought crossed his mind, and Han Feng immediately shook his head.
How could that be possible?!
With Gold and Silver Elders overseeing things and Su Qian not accompanying them, how could a newly promoted Dou Emperor like Lin Xiu possibly defeat those two?
Just then, Han Feng felt a sensation and slowly turned around, looking towards the corner of the room.
In that shadowy corner, darkness thickened, accompanied by a chilling aura.
"Protector Xuan, you're back. Excellent timing. Su Qian has left Jia Nan Academy. Now is our perfect opportunity to make our move."
Han Feng was ecstatic, a hint of excitement appearing on his face.
"Hehe..."
A humanoid figure emerged from the shadows, its face obscured. "You're still obsessed with the Fallen Heart Flame. Han Feng, disaster has come upon you. The Gold and Silver Elders you arranged have already died in that valley."
"What?"
Han Feng was suddenly shocked, his smile freezing on his face. He found it difficult to accept. "Even if Gold and Silver Elders teamed up, they wouldn't easily fall to a Dou Ancestor. How could they die dealing with just a Dou Emperor?"
"I didn't witness the specifics myself, nor do I know the details, but the bodies of the two couldn't have been faked. Your subordinate also died in the valley," Protector Xuan said unintentionally sensing some Soul auras, he went to the valley to collect them, and saw several of them dead.
After tracking the aura all the way, Protector Xuan found that Lin Xiu, Su Qian and the others were heading towards Feng City.
Therefore, Protector Xuan decided to come to Han Feng first and make some arrangements.
"They're all dead?"
Han Feng's face turned pale. Despite finding it hard to accept, he still believed Protector Xuan's words.
Because he couldn't find a reason for the other party to deceive him.
"Protector Xuan, what do you mean by great disaster approaching?"
Han Feng's heart tightened as he realized the source of his unease. He quickly asked for more details.
