"Stop him!"

Seeing the fire python's movements, the elder roared and immediately appeared in front of it, attempting to stop it.

The fire python looked at the Grand Elder who appeared before it, and a cunning glint flashed in its huge pupils. It opened its mouth and spat out a large ball of invisible flames that shot towards the Grand Elder's position.

The elder, seeing the invisible flames hurtling towards him, dared not take them head-on and could only dodge them.

At this moment, the giant fire python, which had originally been attacking the outside of the inner courtyard, suddenly turned back and sped back into the inner courtyard.

Noticing the fire python's movements, the Grand Elder looked at its advancing position and was startled. He shouted, "All inner court students, leave the inner court and enter the deep mountains!"

"Xiao Fan, you all need to leave immediately!"

Xiao Fan looked at the fiery python approaching them in the sky and sighed inwardly.

"It's too late!"

His fighting spirit had been completely depleted during the battle, and the fourth transformation of the Radiant Sun had dissipated when You Ruo appeared. His current physical condition was simply insufficient to support him in continuing to use the secret technique.

As for You Ruo, who was forcibly awakened just now, she has now fallen back into a deep sleep and will probably not wake up until she has completely merged with the body.

Seeing the human-like greed in the fire python's eyes, Xiao Fan suddenly realized that the Fallen Heart Flame's target was him.

"Senior brother, let's go!"

Standing beside Xiao Fan at this moment, Xiao Yan was the only one who noticed Xiao Fan's internal state. With Yao Lao's reminder, Yao Lao's soul power was directly injected into his body, allowing him to control the greatest power and attack the fire python. As long as he could slightly block the fire python, Xiao Fan would be able to escape.

Seeing Xiao Yan's actions, Xiao Fan did not hesitate. He flashed away and retreated rapidly towards the outside of the inner courtyard.

Under these circumstances, let alone the Three Thousand Thunderclaps, even Xiao Fan dared not use the Purple Cloud Wings.

Normally, even if he were exhausted, his amazing physical recovery would give him enough strength to escape. However, having just completed the fourth transformation of the Radiant Sun, the aftereffects have slowed down his recovery considerably.

Holding the Xuan Heavy Ruler, Xiao Yan, with an indomitable spirit, directly entangled himself with the fire python falling from mid-air.

"boom!"

The blue flames collided with it, and a figure was instantly sent flying, falling towards the ground.

An invisible flame filled Xiao Yan's body, and he couldn't control his body at all, so he crashed directly into the ground.

At that moment, he desperately hoped that the giant python in the sky was targeting him, but its enormous body bypassed him and swooped down towards Xiao Fan's location.

"boom!"

As Xiao Fan looked at the enormous head that came into view, a chill ran through him. He had considered summoning it earlier, but now that he had access to the summoning module, he could only perform Xuan-level summons. The strongest Xuan-level summon was only at the Dou Wang rank, which was not enough to save him.

"boom!"

As the fire python's enormous fiery head slashed down, Xiao Fan and everything within a ten-meter radius around him were reduced to nothingness.

"Xiao Fan!"

Among the people fleeing from the inner courtyard, Yueyao stared in disbelief at Xiao Fan, who had vanished from the spot, two lines of clear tears streaming from her eyes.

Chapter 256 The Moon

"Brother!"

Xiao Yan emerged from the large hole in the ground, looking disheveled, and saw Xiao Fan being swallowed whole by the Fallen Heart Flame. He couldn't help but exclaim in shock.

Having come all the way from the Jia Ma Empire, Xiao Fan had always been a role model for him, and had protected him many times. Xiao Yan always remembered all of this.

At this moment, Yao Lao remained silent in Xiao Yan's heart for a long time, but the increasingly intense fluctuations in his soul revealed his unsettled state of mind.

Xiao Yan stared at the enormous body of the fire python in front of him, clenched his fists, and his eyes turned red.

"You beast, die!"

Just as Xiao Yan was about to rush forward again, the First Elder arrived beside him, placed his hand on Xiao Yan's shoulder, and said softly, "Little guy, take a rest. Leave this to us."

Looking at Xiao Yan's grief-stricken face, the First Elder's expression also carried bitterness.

"Elder, hurry! Once this beast breaks free, we'll never be able to catch it again!"

Not far away, a group of elders also exclaimed in surprise, as a dense, net-like array enveloped the entire sky.

The enormous fire python tried to break free from these obstacles and burrow out of the inner courtyard.

"Hehe, it can't leave."

The First Elder gave a sinister smile, then glanced at the silent Xiao Yan. With a flash, he landed at the edge of the formation. Looking into the huge pupils of the fire python, the First Elder said indifferently, "Today, even if I risk my life, you will not be able to get out."

As soon as he finished speaking, the elder's powerful battle qi surged directly into the formation.

Looking at the fire python still struggling under the formation, the Grand Elder did not speak, but frowned slightly. Then, a white light flowed into the formation from his body once again.

"Great Elder..."

The elder standing nearby opened his mouth upon seeing the First Elder's actions, but ultimately shook his head slightly and did not stop him further.

As the white energy surged into the Grand Elder's body, the formation became even more solid, completely enveloping the fire python within it.

As the white energy was used, the elder's hair gradually turned gray, making him look decades older in an instant.

As the formation continued to improve, the fire python struggling within it gradually slowed down its movements.

After a while, the Grand Elder and his group finally managed to block the fire python back at the original location of the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower.

They threw the fire python into the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower from its spire, and the Grand Elder and the other elders sealed the entire tower once again.

A faint energy shield stretched down from the top of the tower, following the black hole in the center of the tower, extending to an unknown depth.

The Grand Elder stared blankly at the energy ripples below, his eyes filled with sorrow. He then looked away, surveyed the chaotic inner courtyard where almost no buildings remained intact, and said calmly, "Recall all students and rebuild the inner courtyard."

Xiao Yan sat blankly amidst the ruins, watching the elders reseal the giant fire python. Tears welled up in his eyes, and he silently asked, "Teacher... why did you stop me just now?"

Just as Xiao Yan was about to rush up and fight the fire python, Yao Lao spoke in his mind, stopping Xiao Yan's actions.

"Given your current physical condition, if you had rushed forward just now, you would already be in that beast's mouth."

The old doctor spoke in Xiao Yan's mind, "Now, only if you recover first can we... take revenge..."

As the old doctor finished speaking, his voice still trembled slightly.

"But......"

Xiao Yan spoke up, "Teacher, my senior brother..."

"He'll be fine."

It was unclear whether Yao Lao's voice was meant to comfort Xiao Yan or to offer himself a glimmer of hope.

"You must trust your senior brother; he will definitely not fall here."

......

With the battle in the inner courtyard over, the elders of the inner courtyard went to the mountains to bring back the inner courtyard students. Since most of the buildings had been reduced to ashes, everyone had to live in temporary tents.

In the area where the Panmen members were, Hu Jia looked at Yue Yao lying on the bed, her face pale, and her face was full of worry.

Many students in the inner courtyard witnessed Xiao Fan being swallowed by the fire python, and Yue Yao even fainted on the spot.

Throughout the journey, Hu Jia took care of her.

"Honestly, you bastard, you can't really just die like that, can you? Xun'er just left, and now this has happened..."

Hu Jia looked at the pale-faced Yue Yao with tears in her eyes, and murmured softly.

She then heard footsteps outside the tent. She gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, her expression turned serious again, and her entire demeanor suddenly became cold.

"What's going on? Didn't I say she needs some peace and quiet right now?"

"Vice Sect Leader, it's Senior Sister Han Yue. She says she needs to see you."

A disciple's voice came from outside the door. Upon hearing this, Hu Jia frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Okay, I understand."

Hu Jia glanced back at Yue Yao lying there before stepping out.

Han Yue, with her silver hair, stood quietly not far from Panmen. When she saw Hu Jia appear, she nodded gently to her.

Hu Jia looked at Han Yue and forced a smile, then asked, "Senior Han Yue, what's wrong?"

"I came for Yueyao."

Han Yue spoke softly, her tone tinged with weariness. She then took out a jade box from her bosom and handed it to Hu Jia, saying, "Please give this to Yue Yao when she wakes up."

Why don't you give it to her yourself?

Hu Jia did not reach out to take the jade box from Han Yue's hand, but instead asked a question.

Han Yue gently shook her head, took a deep breath, and then said, "I'm sorry I can't answer that. Anyway, thank you for your help."

After speaking, Han Yue placed the jade box in Hu Jia's hand and turned to leave.

Hu Jia frowned and examined the jade box in her hand.

The surface was incredibly smooth and warm, with a faint white halo. On the box, a huge full moon was carved, making it look absolutely stunning.

"Never mind, I'll give it to Yueyao when she wakes up."

As Han Yue walked away into the distance, a trace of sorrow flashed deep in her eyes. She then spoke in a barely audible voice, "She...wouldn't want to see what's over there..."

Hu Jia turned and went back into the house, placing the jade box in her hand on the table beside Yue Yao's pillow. She then turned and left, as the inner courtyard was currently being rebuilt and there were still many things to be done.

As Yueyao lay on the bed, a crescent moon flashed briefly above her forehead...
