Starting as a supporting character in Doupo

Han Feng, who was originally checking the prescription, suddenly looked up at the distant sky, then lowered his head and pondered for a moment, recalling the somewhat familiar aura in his mind.

Suddenly, the prescription in his hand fell onto the wooden floor. He remembered that this familiar yet strange fluctuation was a strange fire!

Han Feng gently closed his eyes, and a ball of blue water surged from his body, swirling around him before rising like flames.

No, it turns out that what flows like water is a special kind of flame.

"That's it, this aura is the strange fire!"

He released the strange fire within his body, and the connection between those strange fires became even more sensitive, allowing Han Feng to immediately pinpoint the source of this aura.

"The inner courtyard..."

Sensing the location of the fluctuations emanating from the strange fire, Han Feng narrowed his eyes slightly.

"I never imagined that the strange fire I've been searching for for so many years would actually be hidden in the inner courtyard. This opportunity..."

Somewhat excited, Han Feng licked his dry lips, then took a deep breath to calm himself down. After a long while, he finally spoke softly, "Han Beng!"

"My subordinate is here!"

As Han Feng finished speaking, a man dressed in black robes appeared outside the pavilion, kneeling on the ground with his head bowed.

"Take these tokens and notify the Earth Flame Sect, the Eight Doors, the Blood Sect, and... to have their sect leaders come to Maple City within two hours. Tell them I have an important matter that I need their help with. Also, you should personally deliver these two tokens to that place and ask those two gentlemen to come as well."

As Han Feng spoke, he tossed a series of uniquely shaped tokens into Han Beng's hands. Han Beng took them one by one and put them into his storage ring. With one gold and one silver token in hand, he said with some surprise, "Master, are those two gentlemen also invited? The price they pay for their services is extremely high."

"Hehe, as long as I get what I want this time, their demands are nothing to worry about," Han Feng said calmly, standing with his hands behind his back.

"Yes!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Han Beng left the attic area to complete the task assigned by Han Feng.

Meanwhile, in the pavilion, Han Feng's expression turned incredibly fanatical, a deep blue flame surging in his eyes as he gazed towards the location of the inner courtyard.

"Inner Courtyard, hahaha, as long as I obtain the second type of strange fire and devour and refine it, cough cough..."

Han Feng's internal energy suddenly became disordered, and he coughed uncontrollably twice. It took him a while to calm down and recover.

Han Feng clutched his chest, his face ashen, and cursed angrily, "You old bastard, wouldn't it be better to just hand over the Burning Technique to me honestly? Saying I have wicked intentions is just because you're afraid I'll surpass you in alchemy."

......

"boom!"

As the initial cracks appeared.

The invisible fire python attacked the formation at an even faster frequency.

The attacks continued relentlessly against the array network in mid-air, and as time passed, the elders in the sky gradually began to feel the strain.

Finally, after more than half an hour, one of the elders could not hold on any longer. His fighting spirit was exhausted, and he could only fall to the ground with a bitter smile.

And then, ten minutes later, another elder landed on the ground; twenty minutes later, yet another...

Of the dozen or so Dou Wang elders who were originally in the sky, only the Grand Elder and eight other elders remained after an hour and a half.

"Elder, this can't go on."

One of the elders, feeling his battle qi gradually depleting, looked at the Grand Elder with some worry. Once any of them ran out of battle qi, it would be virtually impossible to seal this thing.

"Hang in there a little longer. We've already sent out the message, and the reinforcements from the Foreign Languages ​​Department should be arriving soon."

The Grand Elder glanced helplessly at the fire python sealed inside and spoke.

As the elder finished speaking, many black dots suddenly appeared in the distant sky.

"Haha, I'm not late, am I? Gathering people took a little longer."

The Grand Elder finally breathed a sigh of relief upon sensing Hu Qian's presence in the distance.

When Hu Qian and the others arrived nearby and saw the appearance of the elders in the inner courtyard, they dared not delay any longer and immediately ordered, "Quickly, replace the elders in the inner courtyard first."

With the support of the outer court, the elders of the inner court were finally able to catch their breath and land on the ground, seizing the time to recover their depleted battle qi.

Hu Qian walked to the Grand Elder's side, looked at the thousand-layer seal supported by the elders of the outer courtyard, and then said to the Grand Elder, "This is not a solution. The elders of the outer courtyard can only maintain this seal. If it stays inside like this, there is no way to seal it back into the tower."

"Don't worry."

The Grand Elder calmly said, "After it recovers, the Inner Court Elder can proceed with the next stage of sealing and completely reseal it."

"That's good."

Hu Qian nodded, and then helped the outer courtyard elder maintain the seal of the formation.

Although the elders of the outer courtyard are generally weaker than those of the elders of the inner courtyard, they have the advantage of having more people, which is enough to restrain the invisible fire python.

Perhaps due to the prolonged impact, the fire python was no longer attempting to break the seal, but instead hovered listlessly around the black tower.

Half an hour later, the Grand Elder, who had been sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes and said, "All elders of the inner courtyard, return to your positions. All instructors, assemble immediately and set up the sealing formation according to the formation nodes."

As the Grand Elder's voice faded, the numerous elders, who had regained some of their strength, flew back into the air.

Amidst the crowd in the distance, dozens of figures emerged and gathered around the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower. Among them, the strength they exuded was even weaker than Lin Yan and the others, so they could not fly into the air. Instead, they stayed on the ground, in the treetops, and other places, cooperating with the elders in the sky.

The students who were originally just watching the play suddenly felt an urge to rush in and do their part when they saw this scene.

Chapter 243 People from the Black Corner Region!

Although these mentors are not particularly strong, there are many of them.

More than eighty instructors, on the ground, worked with the Grand Elder and others in the sky to activate the formation, which slowly contracted towards the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower in the center.

"Be careful, whatever you do, don't let him break the seal."

While directing the elders to shrink the formation, the Grand Elder also carefully guarded against the fire python's renewed rampage.

"Elders of the outer courtyard, maintain the formation."

Hu Qian flew in mid-air, channeling his battle qi into the formation as he spoke to the elders.

As the formation shrank to a smaller and smaller area, the fire python inside seemed to lose its vitality and was continuously compressed back into the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower.

Finally, just as the formation contracted to the Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower, the familiar dim light curtain once again descended from the tower's tip, suppressing the fire python back into the Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower.

"Okay!"

As the elders resealed the raging flames back into the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower, the students watching from afar cheered with delight.

"Teacher, it seems to have been resealed."

In mid-air, Xiao Yan contacted Yao Lao within his body. The sealing of the strange fire meant that he had lost the opportunity to collect it.

"Hehe, the riot of this strange fire is not that simple." Yao Lao's calm voice echoed in their ears. Then, he changed the subject and said, "Moreover, the aura of this strange fire has already leaked out, and it seems that other forces have appeared."

"Other forces?"

Upon hearing Yao Lao's words, Xiao Yan instantly understood. If we're talking about the closest force to the inner courtyard...

"People from the Black Corner Region have arrived too?"

Just as Xiao Yan was wondering, a soft laugh suddenly rang out from the sky not far away.

"Hehe, I never expected the inner courtyard to possess such a top-grade exotic fire. Elder Su Qian, you really kept it a secret..."

As the light laughter subsided, a large group of figures appeared in the sky not far away, and a bloody aura instantly enveloped the inner courtyard.

The sudden appearance of outsiders silenced the cheering group of students, who stared blankly at the group of figures in the sky.

"Hehe, who is it? It turns out to be Han Feng, the Medicine King of the Black Corner Region."

Upon hearing the identity of the person the Grand Elder had called out, Xiao Yan looked at the leading man with some surprise. This should also be considered his... senior brother, right?

Xiao Fan squinted at Han Feng, whom he was meeting for the first time. Han Feng was quite handsome, and always had a faint smile on his lips. But Xiao Fan never expected that such a seemingly sunny person would be so vicious.

For the sake of a cultivation technique, he directly killed his adoptive and mentoring master.

At this moment, Yao Lao was also silent in his storage ring, not uttering a word.

"Han Feng, this is our inner courtyard. What are you trying to do by showing up uninvited?" Hu Qian shouted at Han Feng, who was leading the group.

"hehe."

Han Feng glanced at Hu Qian indifferently, then turned his gaze to the sealed Heavenly Flame Refining Tower not far away, and said in a gentle tone: "The Strange Flame is a rare treasure of heaven and earth, yet your inner courtyard has sealed it here. You should know that as alchemists, we have always regarded the Strange Flame as our faith. What you have done is too cruel. Therefore, I would like to ask the Grand Elder to release it and give it its freedom."

Upon hearing Han Feng's words, not only the Grand Elder but also the people behind him had strange expressions on their faces.

In the Black Corner Region, where only strength matters and right and wrong are irrelevant, murder and robbery are commonplace, let alone mere imprisonment and sealing, especially since the target is just a ball of flame.

"Hmph, if you want to steal the strange fire, just say so. Why resort to such childish tricks that would even deceive a child?"

Hu Qian looked at Han Feng and sneered. Then, with a wave of his hand, more than twenty Dou Wang-level elders stood behind him, their eyes fixed on Han Feng and his group.

"If you want the Strange Fire, just say so." The First Elder looked at the group behind Han Feng and said calmly, "The Earth Flame Sect, the Blood Sect, and the Eight Doors—I'm afraid only you, Han Feng, can mobilize so many people."

"Elder, you jest."

Han Feng looked at the Grand Elder with a smile, and then said respectfully, "As long as the Grand Elder is willing to give me this strange fire, I will definitely agree to any request you may make in the future. What do you say?"

The Grand Elder heard Han Feng's words but did not nod. Instead, he sneered, "Heh, I know your identity. If your teacher, Venerable Medicine, had said that, it might have been possible, but as for you?"

"Not worthy yet!"

When the Grand Elder mocked him like that, Han Feng's face turned cold, and a deep blue flame, as clear as lake water, surged from his body.

"Strange fire?"

Those present had exceptional insight and naturally recognized the flames on Han Feng's body.
