Battle Through the Heavens: I confronted Xiao Yan, and he begged me to be his elder brother.

Chapter 66 The Academy Conducts Self-Investigation; The Fallen Heart Flame Erupts Again

In mid-air, among the group rushing towards them, Elder Su was the leader, followed by Dean Hu Qian, Elder Lin, and two other elders.

Before even getting close, Elder Su could feel the terrifyingly high temperature of that area and said, "The Strange Fire truly lives up to its reputation as a wondrous flame between heaven and earth. Its power is something even I am somewhat wary of."

"I wonder where the strange fire in Hun Cang's hands ranks. It is said that the top three strange fires have already developed sentience, and their power is so great that even Dou Sheng has to give way." Elder Lin shook his head slightly, a look of satisfaction appearing in his eyes.

It would be a real pity if someone with such talent didn't become my disciple.

But this time, my chance has come.

Several people landed.

Just as Hu Qian was about to speak, he caught a glimpse of a figure rushing towards him out of the corner of his eye.

"Dean, you've finally arrived! He... he just killed dozens of inner court students. If you had come any later, I might have been killed by him too." Yang Fan was in tears, his tone filled with sorrow and regret.

He raised his hand to wipe away his tears, his sinister gaze sweeping over Hun Cang.

however.

Dean Hu and the others remained calm, showing no change whatsoever due to Yang Fan's words.

This change, however, made Yang Fan's heart skip a beat.

"Hun Cang, why did you attack the inner court students?" Elder Su asked.

Before Hun Cang could speak, Xiao Yu and the others took the lead in pointing out some of Luo Ling's crimes.

Immediately afterwards, some of the students watching also stood up and loudly accused certain people of acting recklessly because they had connections within the inner circle.

The scene was in complete chaos.

"Quiet down! What are you all arguing about? Did the elders speak to you? We need to deal with Hun Cang's ruthless killing of his fellow disciples. We can talk about your trivial matters later." Yang Fan, with tears still on his face, loudly stopped the people around him.

Many students fell silent after seeing their professor speak.

Yang Fan raised an eyebrow with a hint of pride, wanting to curry favor with the elders.

But then Hu Qian's voice rang in his ears: "It's alright. I didn't expect that the outer courtyard I manage would accumulate so many complaints. You can say whatever you want, I'll listen to you all."

Yang Fan's face turned pale at a visible speed.

The surrounding students were stunned for a moment, then realized that the college was finally going to take action.

Suddenly, countless people surged toward Dean Hu Qian.

Elder Su, Elder Lin, and others stepped onto the arena and stood opposite Hun Cang.

At this moment, Xiao Yu, Xiao Ning, and Lin Fang were all present.

"Elder Su, Elder Lin, today's events cannot be entirely blamed on Hun Cang; I also bear responsibility." Unexpectedly, Lin Fang spoke first.

He was taking deep breaths and looked somewhat nervous.

Xiao Yu said, "Greetings, Elder Su, Elder Lin, and all the elders. Please don't blame Cang... Hun Cang. It's Luo Ling who, relying on his brother Luo Fei's position in the inner courtyard, has been targeting us. He's even threatened to... to..."

"Elders, that Luo Ling is not human, he's a beast! If you don't believe me, I can find many witnesses right now. Since I entered Canaan Academy less than a year ago, I've been beaten by him and his men many times," Xiao Ning said angrily.

The group chattered amongst themselves, giving Hun Cang no chance to speak.

Elder Su and the others were surprised. They didn't expect that this person, who seemed to be focused on cultivation, could actually make friends.

Elder Lin said in a deep voice, "Why don't you go to your mentor about these matters?"

"Mentors? Do you think they're useful? Those mentors have already made deals with some people in the inner academy. They'll help take care of the people in the outer academy, and when their students take the inner academy's exams, the inner academy people will help them get by. Under these conditions, Elder, do you think finding mentors is useful?" Xiao Ning questioned.

"Is that so?" Elder Lin was taken aback. He rarely paid attention to the promotion of the outer academy. Even the last time he participated in the assessment, it was because of Hun Cang.

Xiao Ning nodded heavily: "Yes, and there was a mentor present, Yang Fan! He colluded with Luo Fei and even threatened the girls, demanding that they agree to Luo Fei's conditions, otherwise they would not be eligible to participate in the assessment."

"You bastard, don't make false accusations!" Yang Fan, who had been watching closely, panicked completely upon hearing Xiao Ning's words. "Elder, please let me explain. I absolutely did not do such a thing."

But as soon as he finished speaking, many students in the crowd began to protest.

Elder Su waved his hand, and one of the elders who had followed grabbed Yang Fan.

Facing Yang Fan's gaze, the elder grinned, revealing a chilling smile: "Rest assured, Canaan Academy has always been the most impartial academy. We will not wrong anyone, but at the same time, we will not let anyone who breaks the academy's rules go unpunished."

After speaking, Yang Fan lay there like a dead dog; if the elder hadn't been holding him up, he probably would have collapsed.

"Hun Cang..." Elder Su turned his gaze and was about to speak when he suddenly turned around. Elder Lin and the other elders did the same.

Hun Cang seemed to sense something and looked in the direction of the Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower, where powerful fire attribute fluctuations were being transmitted.

"Oh no, the Fallen Heart Flame has raged again!" Elder Lin exclaimed in alarm.

Elder Su's expression was solemn. He couldn't care less about Hun Cang's matter and flew out like a cannonball. Elder Lin followed closely behind and quickly headed towards the Heavenly Refining Qi Tower.

This work was compiled and uploaded by [author's name].

The Qi Refining Tower is not only used to suppress the Fallen Heart Flame, but also as a place for students to cultivate.

If the situation is not calmed down quickly, some students may get hurt.

……

On the other hand, Hu Qian gathered the mentors and carefully tallied the students' demands.

Hun Cang temporarily moved to the area where the Xiao family lived.

Xiao Yu initially suggested that Hun Cang take advantage of the elders' lack of time to worry and leave quickly, but Hun Cang refused outright.

If I leave now before even getting my hands on the Fallen Heart Flame, wouldn't all this time have been wasted?

On the contrary, Hun Cang reassured them that no one should target them anymore, and if anyone did, they should let him know.

Xiao Ning returned with a smile on his face after gathering the information.

It turns out that after the academy has been established for so long, the dean and elders have also noticed the darkness hidden beneath its glamorous facade.

They were also planning how to deal with it so that they could eliminate those people all at once.

And Hun Cang's actions just happened to satisfy them.

According to Xiao Ning's understanding, more than 50% of the instructors in the outer academy were punished, and nearly 30% of the students were expelled. Even in the inner academy, many students were assigned difficult tasks, and even several elders were severely reprimanded.

"When I walk outside now, many classmates say they want to thank Lord Cang Wang. He is the one who restored the academy to its original pure atmosphere focused on cultivation," Xiao Ning said with a smile.

Hun Cang smiled, not paying any attention, and then returned to the inner courtyard.

On the way, he met Lin Fang.

Because of his involvement, he was promoted by the academy elders to oversee the situation of the inner academy students and prevent people like Luo Fei from appearing again.

"Hun Cang, I've taken advantage of you again." Lin Fang smiled sheepishly.

Hun Cangle said, "I've heard that some people with power are prone to going astray. You better watch out, kid. If I find out you've gone astray, I won't hold back."

After a brief chat, Hun Cang returned to his residence. Upon seeing the figure standing at the door, he paused, a wry smile appearing on his face.
