BTTH: DISCIPLE CASHBACK SYSTEM

Chapter 253: Capturing the Falling Heart Flame!

Above the clear sky, it was dominated by strands of ethereal flames, all hovering around the ethereal fire python, like soldiers ready to attack at any moment.

With a sharp screech echoing, the sky full of flames flickered, and strands of ethereal flame fell towards the ground like meteors.

"This is excellent, the energy of this thing seems inexhaustible!"

Seeing the ethereal fire python quickly recover after a clash with him, Gu He couldn't help but praise.

Gu He knew that what he was seeing was just the external form of the Falling Heart Flame. The real essence of the Falling Heart Flame was hidden within a certain part of this massive body. Finding and damaging that essence would severely injure the Falling Heart Flame.

The next moment, a wisp of purple flame surged into Gu He's dark pupils.

Searching for the essence!

He murmured almost to himself!

Gu He's vision of the world changed abruptly. Below the giant mouth of the ethereal fire python in the sky, a patch of snake scales slowly revealed a group of flames that seemed invisible yet perceptible.

Seeing this, Gu He's eyes gradually cleared, and then he left an afterimage on the spot, appearing in front of the fire python as if teleporting.

In Gu He's hand, a purple flame spear appeared out of nowhere.

Then, holding the purple flame spear, Gu He swiftly stabbed it into the snake scale below the giant mouth of the Falling Heart Flame.

The next moment, the ethereal fire python suddenly raised its massive head, emitting a sharp sound wave mixed with unmistakable pain, echoing mournfully in the sky!

As the mournful screech just began, the body of the ethereal fire python gradually became ethereal. Between its fading form, a group of strange flame light, seemingly invisible yet perceptible, became more brilliant in a specific spot below the giant mouth.

Taking advantage of his success, Gu He once again stabbed the purple flame spear into the spot of flame light below the giant mouth.

With Gu He's spear stabbing again, a mournful screech suddenly echoed through the sky once more, and the pervasive ethereal flames abruptly disappeared as if they had never existed.

As the sky full of flames vanished, the scorching temperature around also slowly dropped. Where the ethereal fire python disappeared, a half-meter-wide odd flame slowly rose.

This flame seemed intangible, yet anyone who saw it felt a tangible, strange sensation. Within the flame, something flowed slowly, like a spirit.

Although it appeared to be just a flame, it gave off a very peculiar feeling, as if the flame possessed human-like intelligence and agility.

Is this the true essence of the Falling Heart Flame?

Gu He used the Divine Fire Technique, and the purple flame spear in his palm quickly transformed into a giant purple flame hand, directly capturing the true essence of the Falling Heart Flame.

After grabbing the essence of the Falling Heart Flame, Gu He felt a burning sensation in his heart, indicating the strongest heart fire attack of the Falling Heart Flame.

Sensing this heat, Gu He simply smiled and didn't mind. After capturing the essence of the Falling Heart Flame, Gu He chose not to assimilate it but quickly left the area.

Shortly after Gu He left the forest, the figures of two grey-robed people suddenly appeared above it, who were none other than the two guardians of Canaan Academy.

"It's strange, the aura of the ethereal fire python disappears here!" one of the grey-robed figures pondered aloud.

After inspecting the surroundings, they indeed found that a great battle had taken place here.

"It seems that the person's understanding of spatial power is much more profound than both of ours."

Shaking their heads, the two elders then returned the way they had come.

...

Inside the inner courtyard, now filled with ruins due to the havoc wreaked by the ethereal fire python and the mysterious black-robed person from the Soul Hall, Vice Dean Hu Gan of the outer court had also arrived with a group of outer court elders to assist.

Upon seeing the two grey-robed elders return, Su Qian, with a smile on his face, said, "Elder Bai, Elder Qian, we owe you a great debt for your appearance today. Otherwise, the inner courtyard would have been..."

"Su Qian, look at how you're leading as the Grand Elder. Under your leadership, the Jia Nan Academy was nearly destroyed!" one of the grey-robed elders said sternly upon returning to the inner court.

"We were prepared for the eruption of the Falling Heart Flame and could have stopped it, but then a Soul Hall powerhouse came at just the wrong time. You know the strength of that black-robed person; even if I, Su Qian, fought with all my might, I probably couldn't even hurt a hair on him!" Su Qian retorted upon hearing the elder's rebuke.

"Moreover, over the years, you've all been hands-off. The Dean hasn't appeared for over a decade, and you two have also hidden yourselves away. Who has been looking after us?" By the end, Su Qian's words were heavy with resentment.

Hearing Su Qian's words, the two grey-robed figures coughed awkwardly and said, "We also went through this in our time. Being the Grand Elder isn't so easy... By the way, has that old guy really not come back for over a decade?"

"Yes, that's right," Su Qian nodded affirmatively.

"Sigh... At our level, it's also time to go into seclusion to prepare for the breakthrough to Dou Zong. Luckily, Elder Bai came out of his seclusion just in time this time; otherwise, even if something really happened in Jia Nan Academy, we wouldn't have sensed it," the elder known as Qian Mu said somewhat relievedly.

"Elder Qian, Elder Bai, the situation in the Black-Corner Region has undergone earth-shattering changes recently!" Su Qian suddenly said with a grave expression: "It's said that the Blood Sect's Fan Lao, the Black Emperor Sect's Mo Tianxing, Han Feng of Maple City, and the Old Demon from the Mo Flame Valley, along with their forces, have all been eradicated by the Soul Hall!"

"What, really?" Qian Mu exclaimed in surprise.

Bai Lie expressed confusion, "The Soul Hall's actions don't seem to be so reckless!"

"Yes, they've always acted very covertly and low-key, how come they've become so high-profile this time?" Qian Mu also echoed.

Clearly, despite their surprise, the two grey-robed elders were not fully convinced by Su Qian's words.

"Su Qian, the Old Ground Demon was also killed by the Soul Hall?" Bai Lie suddenly asked.

"Elder Bai, are you happy to hear that old guy is dead?"

"No, no!" Bai Lie shook his head: "Although I do wish he was dead, if even that old guy was killed, it means that the one who did it is not to be underestimated. Regardless of whether it was the Soul Hall's doing, the situation for Jia Nan Academy is quite grave!"
