Chapter 166: The Canaan Incident! Everyone Gathers!
As Xiao Ze prepared for Queen Medusa's evolution, at Canaan Academy's boarding school, Ziyan moved her tiny feet in boredom, watching the two figures in the field. Xiao Yixian and Qinglin were training, or rather, Xiao Yixian was teaching Qinglin combat techniques.
Previously, when Xiao Ze was at the boarding school, he was the one in charge of teaching Qinglin. Since Xiao Ze had gained feedback from the Three-Flower Snake Eyes, he was very familiar with them and knew exactly how to teach to maximize their use in combat.
Now, Qinglin could already use the Three-Flower Snake Eyes in battle to interfere, confuse, and disorient her enemies. However, as she was fighting against Xiao Yixian, whose strength was much greater, the effects were not as evident.
Ziyan originally also wanted to help train Qinglin, but Xiao Ze rejected her directly. Her combat techniques lacked consideration, and she would probably end up hurting Qinglin.
Seeing Xiao Yixian and Qinglin take a moment to rest, Ziyan, somewhat frustrated, said, "Why hasn't Xiao Ze returned yet?"
"Ziyan, you're being very impatient. Traveling from Canaan Academy to the Jia Ma Empire is a long journey. For a normal warrior, it would take several months. Even if Xiao Ze hurries, it would still take him quite some time, not to mention he has matters to attend to along the way," replied Xiao Yixian with a comforting voice. "Besides, before he left, Xiao Ze left you plenty of pills."
Upon hearing this, Ziyan stiffened. Seeing so many pills, she couldn't resist and ate more than she should have. Now, the remaining pills probably wouldn't last until Xiao Ze returned.
Xiao Yixian, seeing Ziyan's expression, knew that this glutton had been unable to control herself. But she couldn't do anything about it, as she wasn't an alchemist. She could only wait for Xiao Ze's return. This was the consequence of Ziyan's gluttony.
Ziyan, counting on her fingers, wondered if one pill a day would be enough to wait for Xiao Ze. At that moment, a strange fluctuation made Ziyan suddenly raise her head and look towards the north of the boarding school.
"Something's happening over there," said Ziyan.
Xiao Yixian was surprised to hear this, and Qinglin also looked towards the north, although her cultivation level still didn't allow her to see anything unusual. Xiao Yixian felt that the energy in that direction was extremely violent.
"Could it be that the creature sealed in the boarding school has gone out of control?"
As suspected, Xiao Yixian, being an elder, received a voice transmission from the Grand Elder.
"Come immediately to the Tower of Energy Refinement of Heaven and Flame! The seal is failing!"
The urgent tone of the Grand Elder made Xiao Yixian know that the situation was serious. Immediately, she told Ziyan, "Ziyan, take care of Qinglin, I'll go see what's happening."
Xiao Yixian spread her energy wings and flew towards the north of the boarding school, leaving Qinglin worried.
"Ziyan sister, there won't be any problems, right?"
Ziyan frowned and replied, "There shouldn't be any problems. We've been through disturbances like this before, those old folks can handle it."
Although they said this, both nervously looked towards the north. Xiao Yixian arrived at the Tower of Energy Refinement and saw that all the students had been evacuated to the square in front of the tower, causing a commotion.
Elders arrived from different parts of the academy, and Xiao Yixian also saw many instructors from the boarding school.
"The situation is serious. The creature inside is out of control. I don't know where it got so much energy from, but it's starting to break the seal!"
"Elders, go to your sealing positions and prepare to reinforce it!" The voice of the Grand Elder resonated in the air as the students were evacuated from the square.
However, the students gathered on nearby rooftops, observing the abnormal situation at the Tower of Energy Refinement. Xiao Yixian positioned herself on the outer part of the sealing circle, ready to act.
Under the Grand Elder's direction, the elders began reinforcing the seal. But Xiao Yixian frowned, as the situation seemed more serious than she expected. The energy within the tower was extremely violent.
Even if the original seal was strong, Xiao Yixian felt a growing unease. Many of the elders present shared this feeling, and the Grand Elder quickly called for the strong ones from the boarding school to come help.
After much effort, the Grand Elder's face suddenly changed.
"It's about to break!"
A mass of dark lava, driven by overwhelming energy, crashed against the seal at the top of the tower. With a deafening roar, the lava broke the seal.
Immediately, the energy within the boarding school became chaotic, filled with searing and violent heat. Along with the energy turmoil, a sharp scream was heard.
An invisible fire serpent, tens of meters long, roared into the sky. The surrounding energy became extremely violent with its roar.
The fire serpent had triangular eyes filled with human-like joy. A wave of energy emanated from Canaan Academy's boarding school.
The Grand Elder's face turned somber. Where was this creature getting so much energy from? Had it been hiding it?
"All elders, form the Thousand-Layer Barrier!"
Eighteen elders deployed around. Xiao Yixian, being new, hadn't had the chance to learn the technique, so she could only watch as the elders released their powerful energy, intertwining it to form a huge energy net.
The Grand Elder quickly told Xiao Yixian, "Be careful of the enemies from the Black Corner Domain!"
Then, the Grand Elder formed an energy net that enveloped the invisible fire serpent. The creature, having spent much of its energy breaking the seal, was weak.
Before it could react, the energy net wrapped around it. Realizing its situation, the serpent began to struggle desperately. It had tasted freedom and didn't want to return to its underground prison, full of lava and poison.
While the elders of the boarding school fought the invisible fire serpent, Yao Huang Han Feng organized his men and headed towards the boarding school.
Deep in the mountains, Xiao Yan looked into the distance.
"Xiao Yan, we've been lucky to arrive just in time for the Fallen Heart Flame rebellion," said Yao Lao.
"Does that mean our chance has come?" asked Xiao Yan excitedly.
"Yes, young one. The preparation has been correct. With those pills, you have a small chance to devour the Fallen Heart Flame."
"Haha! It seems the opportunity is for those who are prepared. If I hadn't prepared those pills, this opportunity would be useless."
Xiao Yan laughed and headed towards the boarding school.
"Fallen Heart Flame, Xiao Yan will defeat you!"
