Aside from that alluring woman who was a Six-Star Dou Zong, there were also a large number of Dou Zong and Dou Huang level puppets.
Under the joint attacks of those powerhouses and puppets, they found themselves in a very troubleso position.
During the battle, the seductive woman even activated a formation that used souls as fuel.
With the formation's power, her strength soared to the point where she could fight evenly against him, an Eight-Star Dou Zong.
Faced with such a situation, all of them were deeply troubled.
Although they weren't in imdiate danger of losing their lives, they were also unable to take down Heavenly Treasure Pavilion.
If the fight escalated to an all-out battle to the death, their side would undoubtedly suffer heavy losses.
Helpless, they had no choice but to swallow their pride, apologize, and yield to these "rural bumpkins."
Naturally, Cai Lin seized the chance to give them a hard lesson—and extorted a hefty price.
After all, the souls she had used to fuel the formation were practically the entire stockpile that Heavenly Treasure Pavilion had accumulated.
If not for Lin Feng leaving behind a set of soul-restraining Dou Techniques and capturing secrets from Hall of Souls, Heavenly Treasure Pavilion wouldn't even have had the ans to gather souls in the first place.
With such a loss, it was only fair to make these Central Plains visitors pay dearly.
Of course, Cai Lin kept her word. After the compensation was made, she selectively disclosed so information about Xiao Li and Xiao Ding, the two brothers.
Only then did the mbers of Falling Star Pavilion realize that their young pavilion master's two older brothers had gone "missing" due to the mass slaughter carried out by Hall of Souls in the Jia Ma Empire and surrounding empires several years ago.
Xiao Li and Xiao Ding had most likely been killed or captured by Hall of Souls during that ti.
This news hit the Falling Star Pavilion envoys like a bolt from the blue.
Devastated, they could only temporarily abandon the search for Xiao Ding and Xiao Li.
Instead, they decided to go to Jia Nan Academy to retrieve the remaining mbers of the Xiao family.
However, upon arriving at the Inner Academy, they discovered sothing unexpected—the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower, which required a Heavenly Fla to operate, was still running!
Although they didn't know where Jia Nan Academy had found a second Heavenly Fla after their young pavilion master stole the Fallen Heart Fla, they imdiately hatched a plan.
If they could seize this second Heavenly Fla, they might be able to make up for their failures.
Even if they couldn't recover their young master's two older brothers, obtaining a Heavenly Fla would likely spare them from Punishnt Elder's wrath.
After a short discussion, they decided—they would steal Jia Nan Academy's Heavenly Fla.
After all, their young master had already offended Jia Nan Academy before.
So what if they made things worse now?
"First that bastard Xiao Yan stole our Heavenly Fla from Jia Nan Academy—and now he sends people back to stir up more trouble? This is outrageous!"
Upon hearing the arrogant tone of the enemy, Su Qian snapped and flung his sleeves, roaring coldly, "Even if every last one of us in Jia Nan Academy dies today—we will never surrender!"
"Hmph, stubborn fools! Don't bla us for showing no rcy, then!"
Seeing the academy's refusal to hand over what they demanded, the middle-aged man leading Falling Star Pavilion turned grim.
When Jia Nan Academy wouldn't hand over the people or the treasure, the man turned to the three five-star Dou Zong experts and said coldly, "Split up. One of you head for the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower. The rest—find the young master's remaining clan mbers."
"Yes, sir!"
Upon receiving the order from the Eight-Star Dou Zong, the three Five-Star Dou Zongs responded in unison.
Then, they each took a step forward, stomped in mid-air, and their bodies shot toward the Qi Refining Tower and other locations.
"Elders! Today, we must preserve Jia Nan Academy's final shred of dignity—stop them at all costs!"
Seeing their movents, Su Qian shouted sternly.
The actions of Han Feng and Xiao Yan in the past had already left Jia Nan Academy's reputation in shambles across Black-Corner Region.
And it hadn't even been that long since.
If it happened again—then all the prestige Jia Nan Academy had built over the years would truly beco a laughingstock.
So today, no matter what, they could not bow their heads.
"Defend our dignity to the death!"
Hearing Su Qian's cry, the elders also shouted in unison.
With a flap of their Dou Qi wings, they charged at full speed toward those near-invincible enemies!
"Courting death!"
Watching these Inner Academy elders in action, the Falling Star Pavilion leader laughed in fury.
Still, deep inside, he was cautious of Jia Nan Academy's Dou Zun-level Headmaster.
Turning to the two seven-star Dou Zong beside him, he said coldly, "Cripple those Dou Wangs—no need to kill them."
Then his figure flashed—and the next mont, he was already blocking the path of the incoming elders.
Boom!
The Eight-Star Dou Zong casually unleashed several palm strikes, each containing vast, condensed Dou Qi. They slamd into a group of Jia Nan Academy elders.
With each impact, loud crashes rang out—the elders were like birds that had lost their wings, plumting toward the ground at breakneck speed!
Seeing the man's unrestrained arrogance, Su Qian clenched his jaw so hard it felt like it might crack.
He tried to rush forward to stop him—but just then, a Seven-Star Dou Zong appeared right in his path.
He and the Outer Academy Dean Hu Gan were both pinned to the ground, completely restrained.
As for the Dou Wang-level Elders, how could they possibly be a match for high-tier Dou Zong?
In less than half an hour, the Elders of both the Inner and Outer Academies of Jia Nan Academy were all vomiting blood, lying unconscious on the ground.
Gazing at the heavily injured and motionless elders, a rather hot-tempered seven-star Dou Zong disdainfully flicked the blood off his hand, sneering, "So weak. No wonder you're stuck surviving in this backwater. A force founded by a Dou Zun? In my opinion, Jia Nan Academy should be renad—"
Before he could finish, the void beside him suddenly began to ripple violently.
In an instant, a distorted sphere infused with thick space power abruptly shot toward him at high speed.
Boom!
In a thunderous explosion, the seven-star Dou Zong was instantly blown into a mist of flesh and blood.
"This... this kind of space power... a Dou Zun?!"
This sudden turn of events made the nearby eight-star Dou Zong shudder in shock.
"No... no, this isn't quite right. The space force released by a Dou Zun wouldn't be this weak… this is the strength of a peak Dou Zong!"
He muttered aloud, as if trying to reassure himself.
A calm voice echoed from above.
"Hehe... You dare stir trouble in my Jia Nan Academy? Today, none of you are leaving."
High above the Inner Academy, two black-robed figures appeared in the sky, their appearances obscured.
But from their voices, it was clear they were both elderly n.
One of them was even holding a Five-Star Dou Zong, who looked utterly terrified, trembling in his grasp.
"Run!"
Seeing that the two were peak Dou Zong, the Eight-Star Dou Zong shouted at the last remaining Seven-Star Dou Zong, before quickly turning to flee at full speed toward the Central Plains.
"Since you've co, how could we let you leave so easily?"
One of the old n chuckled.
Their figures in the sky disappeared in an instant.
At the sa ti, the space around the escaping Eight-Star Dou Zong suddenly solidified, trapping him in place.
The man found his entire body completely immobilized—except for his eyes, which were now filled with pure terror.
And he knew all too well—this ti, he was finished.
As an Eight-Star Dou Zong, he understood perfectly:
These two old n had power nearing the Dou Zun realm.Otherwise, they couldn't have pulled off such terrifying spatial techniques.
anwhile, in his heart, he cursed Xiao Yan and his entire ancestral line repeatedly.
Before setting out, Xiao Yan had sworn with full confidence that Jia Nan Academy had only one or two early-stage Dou Zongs at most.
But now?
Damn it—two experts nearing the Dou Zun level showed up!
Boom!
Right after he was locked in place, a deep explosion rang through the sky.
That Eight-Star Dou Zong's body was blasted apart, turning into blood mist across the sky.
Having done all this, one of the old n shook the trembling Five-Star Dou Zong still in his hand.
Staring at the terrified man, the old man said slowly, "Go back and tell your master—if they dare to provoke Jia Nan Academy again, we'll fight them to the bitter end."
The Five-Star Dou Zong stayed silent for a mont.
Seeing no response, the elder's voice rang out once more beneath the black robe:
"What? Can't hear , boy?"
"Y-Yes! I heard you!"
The man shivered violently and quickly replied.
"In that case, I'll spare you this once. Go back and give your report."
With that, he flung the Five-Star Dou Zong away.
The mont the man regained his freedom, he didn't dare linger for even a second in this terrifying place.
Imdiately igniting his Dou Qi, he fled at top speed toward Horizon City!
