The three of them had just stood up.
A figure in a gray robe quickly appeared in front of the three.
"Old man! Why did you follow me again?" Ya Ru said, somewhat annoyed, looking at the gray-robed old man in front of her.
Qin Xin looked at the old man before him and immediately bowed, saying, "Elder."
The gray-robed elder who suddenly appeared was none other than Chong He, the Grand Elder of the Eastern Wilderness Academy. His mind had been focused on the forbidden area, which was related to the safety of the entire inner academy. So when he sensed the fluctuations in the array within the restriction, he immediately rushed over.
At that moment, they ran into Qin Xin.
"Oh? Qin Xin."
When Elder Chonghe saw Qin Xin, he was slightly surprised. He did not expect that Qin Xin could escape from the strange fire.
He then closed his eyes tightly, as if sensing the changes in the strange fire in the underground space, and murmured to himself, "How strange, this strange fire seems to have weakened quite a bit!"
After Elder Chonghe opened his eyes, he carefully examined Qin Xin and found nothing special, but Qin Xin's strength had improved considerably since entering the forbidden area.
"You must have gained quite a bit from that strange fire," Chonghe said, his old eyes slightly lowered as he looked at Qin Xin.
Qin Xin had already prepared his explanation and immediately described the changes that occurred after entering the underground area.
"As soon as I entered, I noticed that the fire dragon seemed to have changed. In order to save my life, I didn't dare to go forward. That's how I escaped with my life. If it weren't for Ya Ru, I would probably still be trapped inside."
As Qin Xin spoke, he noticed that Elder Chonghe's expression remained unchanged. However, he was not worried. Now that the Yang Fire Seed and the Lava Earth Core Fire Seed had merged, their auras had completely changed and were impossible to detect.
Although the Grand Elder was puzzled, he noticed that the strange fire beneath the tower-shaped building was still burning, and muttered to himself, "Could it be that the molten core fire is preparing to undergo tribulation?"
Although the elder's voice was very soft, all three of them heard it clearly.
While Ya Ru and Long Mu were taking advantage of the Grand Elder's inattention, they were about to sneak away when the Grand Elder suddenly turned his gaze to them and said, "The spiritual herbs that have recently disappeared from the inner courtyard must have been the work of the two of you, right?"
The two men who were being targeted retreated nervously behind Qin Xin. They hadn't expected that their actions would lead to the Grand Elder coming to their door.
"I will naturally keep this a secret for you. I have no intention of paying off your debts. However, you've gone crazy enough for a while now, and it's time for you to come with me to cultivate." The elder suddenly smiled and said to the two of them.
Longmu poked his head out and whispered to the Grand Elder, "I'm from Elder Huo's side, so I probably don't need to go."
The Grand Elder Chonghe glanced at him with a smile and said, "I've already spoken to that guy."
After exchanging a glance, Ya Ru and Long Mu hurriedly tugged at Qin Xin's sleeve, as if seeking his help, because they knew that if they were captured by this elder, they would face endless cultivation day and night.
Seeing the two pleading like this, Qin Xin felt a little soft-hearted. Although the two often caused trouble, after spending time with them, he found that they were simple-minded people who genuinely regarded Qin Xin as a good friend. Otherwise, they would not have entered the forbidden area to look for him.
"Elder, perhaps..." Qin Xin began, trying to plead for the two.
Before he could finish speaking, Elder Chonghe looked at the two little ones' pleading expressions and smiled kindly, saying, "Very well, the Kunmen main peak is probably facing quite a few troubles right now. Come find me again after things are resolved."
"Thank you very much, Elder." Seeing that the Elder had agreed, Qin Xin quickly expressed his gratitude.
When Ya Ru and Long Mu heard that they still had some time to be free, they exchanged a glance and smiled broadly.
They bowed deeply to the Grand Elder and thanked him, saying, "Thank you, Grand Elder!"
Seeing the appearance of the three people, Elder Chonghe shook his head helplessly, and his figure vanished from the spot.
Qin Xin and the two others did not linger outside the forbidden area. After hearing about the trouble at the Kunmen main peak, Qin Xin roughly guessed what was going on, so he was in a hurry to return and resolve the issue. Since he was the one who opened up the Kunmen main peak, he naturally could not let others take advantage of it.
Not long after Qin Xin and the other two left, the Grand Elder, who had already left, reappeared outside the forbidden area. Looking at the departing figures of the three, his eyes showed a hint of amazement.
"I never expected that he was able to subdue that intelligent molten core fire. It seems that Qin Xin is indeed not simple. However, for my Eastern Wilderness Academy, this is also a good thing, as it has solved a problem that has lasted for nearly a thousand years."
After Elder Chonghe finished speaking, the tiny seed of lava core fire in the forbidden area behind him slowly merged into the array of the tower-shaped building, and powerful fire-attribute true energy swirled around the tower.
Starting from the forbidden area, the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth rapidly converged towards the inner courtyard. Within each gate, the light spots of the spiritual veins flickered, quickly drawing away this spiritual energy.
After all this, Elder Chonghe also left.

On the way to Kunmen with the two of them.
Qin Xin, also curious, inquired about the current situation on the main peak, "What exactly happened?"
Upon hearing Qin Xin's question, Ya Ru's expression turned somewhat angry as she said, "You've been missing for over a month. Kunmen also believes you're dead. The main peak is empty, but it remains open, so it's naturally left vacant."
"Dongfeng Leige made the first move and directly occupied the main peak."
"At first, the Eighth Elder tried to stop it for a few days, but there was still no news of you. Moreover, he didn't need to offend Yun Lei for this matter, so he just let it go."
"After Leige occupied the main peak, he drove all the original disciples of the main peak down the mountain. Moreover, after the other three peaks learned of this, they also came. In the end, in order to avoid conflict, Leige gave up three cultivation rooms on the main peak and also allocated some land on the main peak to them so that they could build cave dwellings for their disciples."
Upon hearing this news, Qin Xin felt a surge of anger. He could tolerate his lair being raided after just one trip, but he cursed under his breath, "Those bastards!"
"Finally, I can beat them up! I've taken so much bullying these past few days!" Longmu said, clenching his fist.
The three sped towards the main peak of the Kun Sect. At this time, young disciples from the four peaks were also gathered on the main peak, seemingly arguing over territory.
