After seeing the elder cover the disciple in front of him with his clothes.

The Second Elder said in a harsh tone, "Fourth Elder, if your Kanmen acts this way, don't harm the Inner Court!"

The Fourth Elder ignored the Second Elder's words and, with several disciples of the Kan Sect, left the center of the inner courtyard.

Now, all the disciples of their Kanmen sect have withdrawn from that tower-like building.

The reason why that disciple was corrupted by the fire was mainly because his own strength was insufficient. Under the temptation of the strange fire, he forcibly approached it, which led to such a consequence.

Of course, this disciple's actions were also very dangerous. If the sleeping spirit of the strange fire was disturbed, it would cause considerable trouble. Those disciples still inside the tower would probably be the first to be affected.

Qin Xin, who was still inside the tower-like building, had fallen behind the other disciples because he had been delayed in breaking through to the second level of the Qi Sea Realm.

However, Qin Xin soon arrived at the last floor, after passing through a white light curtain.

The surroundings made him take a deep breath.

However, as soon as this breath entered his body, Qin Xin felt a burning sensation, filling his lungs.

After quickly channeling his martial spirit to refine the fiery energy, Qin Xin felt a little better, but he still dared not exhale so deeply again.

After surveying his surroundings, Qin Xin felt as if he were inside a volcano, with several tributaries of lava converging, making the fire elemental energy here exceptionally strong.

"No wonder strange fire can be born here."

Qin Xin thought to himself as he walked along some of the surrounding paths. Since he didn't know the exact location of the strange fire, he still needed to search for it.

"Um?"

Following the source of the magma tributary, Qin Xin cautiously explored and suddenly discovered that the Heavenly Phoenix Martial Spirit Pattern on his Martial Spirit was showing faint signs of circulation even without being activated.

With the ignition of the Yang Fire, the orange flame true qi armor completely enveloped Qin Xin, and the intense heat from the nearby magma tributary instantly dissipated.

"It looks like it's just ahead."

Qin Xin suppressed his excitement.

He had been longing for this strange fire ever since he entered the inner courtyard, and now he was finally able to see its true form.

When Qin Xin reached the end of the lava, he discovered that the lava had turned a deep red color, but he still couldn't see the strange fire.

After searching the surrounding area, Qin Xin discovered that the aura was coming from beneath the magma. For a moment, Qin Xin hesitated, standing still in place.

The daring idea of ​​venturing into the magma to search was also on his mind.

However, this action is too dangerous; if one is not careful, one might be directly incinerated by the lava.

Just as Qin Xin was struggling with his decision, he suddenly felt a tremor around him, as if something was about to awaken.

"What's going on?!"

This sudden change filled Qin Xin with terror.

Just as I was about to escape, I found my steps becoming unusually heavy.

Moreover, from Qin Xin's body, a fiery red aura actually broke through the barrier created by Huo Sheng and fell directly into the magma.

"The True Meaning of Fire!"

Qin Xin then realized that he had obtained a trace of the true essence of fire in the spiritual realm, and this true essence of fire seemed to have come from this strange fire.

~~~~~~

Outside the tower-like building, the elders who had not yet left naturally also noticed the changes underground.

"What's going on!"

The elder's expression turned somewhat grave.

The disciples who remained there also left quickly.

After glancing around, the elder noticed that one disciple was still inside the tower-like building.

Several elders who had previously left the central area of ​​the inner courtyard quickly returned after feeling the tremor.

"There's still one person who hasn't left! Who is it?" Elder Chonghe's voice was filled with anxiety.

The Eighth Elder hurriedly stepped forward and said, "It seems to be Qin Xin."

"Qin Xin?" Elder Chonghe tried hard to recall the name, and seemed to have some recollection of it.

“That’s the kid with an exceptional talent for alchemy who’s now restarting the Kun Sect,” Huo Sheng said from the side, staring at the tower-like building with a slight change in his eyes.

As the tremors intensified, the tower-like structure began to flash with a ghostly blue light, attempting to suppress whatever was trying to break free from the ground.

The powerful shockwave caused intense tremors throughout the eight gates of the inner courtyard.

Some disciples in the cultivation room were also awakened by the tremor. After they all came out, they stood on the peak and looked towards the source of the tremor.

At this moment, on the eastern peak of Kunmen, Qin Xue stood behind Hua Jin, looking up at the center of the inner courtyard.

“It’s a forbidden area! Qin Xin, he…”

Qin Xue naturally knew that Qin Xin had entered the forbidden area to try to subdue the strange fire, and the fluctuations coming from there naturally made her a little nervous.

"You wait here, I'll go take a look first." Hua Jin's expression was also somewhat heavy. After giving the order, her figure, which was standing in place, turned into a phantom.

Hua Jin also stepped into the air and quickly flew towards the forbidden area of ​​the inner courtyard.

At this moment, loud noises kept coming from the forbidden area. Each loud noise caused a tremor, and the patterns on the tower-like building kept shining.

"Elder! We can't wait any longer. He's just a kid at the Qi Sea Realm. If this continues, I'm afraid the Sealing Tower won't be able to hold on."

The Second Elder sensed the changes around him, and his tone seemed to express some dissatisfaction with the First Elder's leniency.

The First Elder, Chonghe, was naturally aware of the danger if the strange fire were to burst forth; the entire inner courtyard might be destroyed as a result, and he did not want to see such a consequence.

Huo Sheng, who was standing to the side, shook his head at the First Elder, Chong He.

He tried to sense Qin Xin's location in order to bring him out, but he couldn't find Qin Xin's presence.

"It seems that disciple named Qin Xin is already dead, Elder."

The other elders all looked at the First Elder, Chonghe, awaiting his decision.

"Elders!"

"exist!"

"Form the formation and follow me to suppress this strange fire!"

After a voice, weathered yet resolute, fell to the ground.

All the elders transformed into phantoms, surrounding the tower-shaped building before sitting cross-legged and rapidly forming hand seals, with array patterns appearing beneath them.

As the group slammed their hands onto the ground, the previously activated light spots within the tower-shaped building instantly unleashed a powerful force, with countless patterns spreading downwards from the top of the tower.

At the very last moment before the seal was completed, Hua Jin's figure also appeared.

"Qin Xin...".

The entire forbidden area fell silent for a moment.

Huo Sheng and the Grand Elder Chong He exchanged a glance, shook their heads, and then turned and led their disciples away from the forbidden area.
