Dean Huoo’s tone held neither joy nor sadness.

He spoke truly; he can protect Elder Tongtian and the others for a time but not for a lifetime.

Today he could take action against Yi Xiao, to capture him is no difficult task.

Given his strength, it’s as easy as could be.

However, in the future, Yi Xiao will surely return, even stronger and more terrifying.

And unless Elder Tongtian and the others never leave Heavenly Hidden Academy...

Unless he always stays with Elder Tongtian and the rest...

Otherwise, who can survive Yi Xiao’s relentless pursuit?

Therefore, he never took action.

He simply watched, allowing Yi Xiao to cause a commotion, to vent fully.

Xiao Yi nodded indifferently, "Dean Huoo should understand the reason for the commotion and why I injured your Heavenly Hidden Academy elders."

"I understand." Dean Huoo nodded.

Beside him, Mo Youh and Sikong Yu’s expressions changed, looking toward Dean Huoo with pleading eyes.

"However, I will not hand her over."

"She is a disciple of Heavenly Hidden Academy. I have the responsibility to protect her completely."

"Thank you, Dean Huoo." Mo Youh quickly bowed, her face resuming its former pride and confidence.

She cast a provocative glance at Xiao Yi once more.

She knew, with Dean Huoo’s words today, she would be absolutely safe.

With Dean Huoo here to protect her, who could lay a finger on her?

"Why?" Xiao Yi asked slowly as he walked.

Xiao Yi didn’t explicitly ask, but he knew Dean Huoo understood his point.

Dean Huoo had not protected Elder Tongtian and the others before, but now he wants to protect Mo Youh?

Dean Huoo smiled faintly, "It’s simple, because I only need to protect her for a moment, not for a lifetime."

"I understand." Xiao Yi nodded, but his steps did not stop, his eyes still cold.

"But I still ask Dean Huoo to step aside."

"I must take the person today."

"My little brother once told me that Dean Huoo is an excellent senior."

"At least, you know how to distinguish right from wrong."

Dean Huoo smiled faintly, "Yi Xiao, you are an outstanding Heavenly Talent."

"You were able to pull people from Mist Dangerous Land back then, which is truly remarkable."

"Your future achievements will suffice to make the entire Central Region boil, astonishing, achieving your own glory."

"Today, there’s no need to flaunt your courage for the moment."

As he spoke, Dean Huoo subtly glanced at the high sky.

Xiao Yi also looked at the sky, seeming to sense something.

"I said it, today, no one will make a difference."

"Mo Youu won’t do, and that one won’t either."

"Including you, Dean Huoo, you won’t make a difference..."

As his voice fell, Xiao Yi suddenly narrowed his eyes.

He had been walking slowly, speaking slowly, but he was already two meters in front of Mo Youh.

He had been walking slowly, but in this instant, his pace accelerated.

He had yet to condense his Beast Feet until now, and in this moment, it formed instantly.

His speed, in this instant, was astonishingly fast, so fast that everyone could barely react.

Everything seemed to happen in just an instant.

Xiao Yi’s figure seemed to ignore the barriers of space.

His finger instantly tapped on Mo Youh’s heart.

He had been waiting, waiting for this opportunity.

He knew well that his greatest obstacle was Dean Huoo, naturally, he was already prepared.

What he wanted was this momentary opportunity.

The condensation of Beast Feet and the sudden burst of speed was enough for Dean Huoo to have no opportunity to intercept.

"Mo Youh." From afar, Mo Youu exclaimed in shock, his eyes almost splitting with rage.

Beside Mo Youh, Dean Huoo squinted, his eyes suddenly cold.

A dangerous gleam flashed through his eyes.

Xiao Yi’s finger rapidly withdrew, retreating instantly.

But, this was already enough.

His Furious Flame Finger, representing the fiercest technique of his Fire Control Skill, had already struck Mo Youh.

Boom... Boom... Boom...

Explosions rang continuously on Mo Youh’s body.

"Ugh." Mo Youh spat out a mouthful of bloody liquid.

Dean Huoo tapped rapidly, barely touching Mo Youh.

"Mo Youh." From a distance, Mo Youu’s aura erupted, rushing over swiftly.

"Brother..." Mo Youh’s breath faltered.

Dean Huoo glanced at Mo Youu, "You’re already severely injured, and forcibly erupting your aura will kill you with the backlash."

"I don’t care." Mo Youu roared, his vast Primordial Power transformed into pure Spirit Energy, transferring it into Mo Youh’s body.

Whoosh... From high above, Senior Luoo’s figure descended rapidly.

A palm strike from Senior Luoo landed on Mo Youu.

Mo Youu’s aura collapsed instantly.

"Master..." Mo Youu’s face contorted, gritting his teeth.

"Don’t go mad, leave it to me." Senior Luoo coldly shouted, taking Mo Youh.

Swish... Swish... Swish...

In the sky, three figures descended beside Xiao Yi at the same moment.

They were the three Masters of the Main Hall.

However, at this time, the Master of the Main Hall of the Demon Hunting Hall had already donned his gray-white robe again.

"Three Masters of the Main Hall," Xiao Yi saluted.

In fact, when that sense of crisis appeared earlier, he already guessed that it was Senior Luoo who had arrived.

With Mo Youh present, it would be surprising for Senior Luoo not to come.

And since that sense of crisis disappeared, it was evidently because someone stopped Senior Luoo from taking action.

It would only be the three Masters of the Main Hall who would assist Yi Xiao.

"Yi Xiao," not far away, Dean Huoo’s face was stern, "Haven’t you caused enough trouble today?"

Xiao Yi frowned.

All the surrounding Academy Elders and Deacons’ expressions changed as well.

The Dean of Black Cloud Academy descended, and the three Masters of the Demon Hunting Hall, Flame Hall, and Medicine Venerate Hall arrived.

Four legendary figures arrived personally.

Adding Dean Huoo would make it five.

If the commotion continued, the battle would no longer be at Yi Xiao’s level.

Instead, it would be a clash between five legends.

At that time, things might spiral out of control.

"Kid, let it be," the Master of the Demon Hunting Hall chuckled behind him.

Not far away, Dean Huoo frowned, "Yi Xiao, how about doing this old man a favor today?"

"We can fight again after you leave Heavenly Hidden Academy."

If a massive battle really erupted, Heavenly Hidden Academy would soon be reduced to rubble.

A battle above legendary level is enough to shake the heavens and earth.

"Alright," Xiao Yi responded coldly with a smile, "My little friend said you helped him once back then, and he owes you a favor."

"I will let this matter pass for now."

"However," Xiao Yi’s cold gaze once again turned toward Mo Youh and Senior Luoo.

"If you have the ability, keep protecting her."

"Let’s see how many times Mo You can escape Yi’s pursuit."

Senior Luoo’s expression instantly turned grim, squinting his eyes.

"Let’s go," the Master of the Demon Hunting Hall chuckled, looking at Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi nodded.

Swish... Swish... Swish...

The group of four flew away, controlling the air.

Back at the original place, Mo You had no trace of arrogance left on her face, only a trembling body, staring at Mo Youh.

"Master, my sister..."

"It’s okay, her life is saved," Senior Luoo said solemnly, "But all her cultivation is already wasted."

"As long as her life is saved, that’s enough," Mo Youh breathed a sigh of relief, her pale face regaining some blood qi.

"Brother, I want that little thief and this vile Yi Xiao dead," Mo Youh said weakly, but her eyes were full of venom.

"Brother, avenge me..."

However, before she finished speaking, she cried out in pain.

"Ah... my body... it’s so hot..."

"Brother, save me..."

A continuous scorching aura emanated from Mo Youh’s body.

"Master," Mo Youh looked at Senior Luoo.

Senior Luoo sensed for a moment, and his face turned cold, "That kid left a trick behind."

"Ah... it’s hot... it feels like my body is melting..." Mo Youh cried out endlessly.

Her skin started to burn black.

"Suppress," Senior Luoo shouted coldly, tapping a finger on Mo Youh’s body.

The burning state stopped.

But the aura emitting from her body remained intensely hot.

Her face gradually showed signs of melting...

Mo Youh could even feel her aura declining rapidly.

"What’s going on," Mo Youh’s face changed dramatically.

"Damn it," Senior Luoo’s face turned extremely ugly, "There is a flame restriction left inside her, if not removed, she won’t survive a month. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

"Please save her, Master," Mo Youh kneeled with a crash.

"Get up," Senior Luoo scolded, "Breaking this restriction is not difficult, it’s just that this kid left a mighty flame of the world within her, totaling nearly eight to nine thousand."

"Its prohibitions are formed without any pattern, Purple Flame Yi Xiao’s fire control skills are indeed outstanding."

"Master..." Mo Youh’s face was full of urgency.

"Shut up," Senior Luoo scolded, "To break this restriction, it requires unraveling all combinations of the Flame Martial Way, which would take at least over a month."

"The opening of the Ancient Emperor’s Tomb is no more than half a month away."

"How can I..."

"Master, I can go to the Ancient Emperor’s Tomb by myself," Mo Youh pleaded, "Please save my sister."

"Impossible," Senior Luoo shook his head.

"If Master won’t save her, then forgive this disciple for being unfilial, I won’t go to the Ancient Emperor’s Tomb."

"You..." Senior Luoo’s face grew cold.

...

Fifth update. (Explosive)
