186: The arrest warrant has been issued amidst a storm!

"A Spark?!"

Zhan Chengfei's eyes suddenly shot out two terrifying cold gleams!

Even the several military bigwigs behind him slightly changed their expressions upon hearing this.

The Spark organization was not unfamiliar to the higher echelons of Mobei.

It was a secretive, ideologically extreme underground organization that secretly developed its power, attempting to subvert the existing Order.

They were like rats in a sewer, difficult to eradicate completely, popping up from time to time to cause trouble.

However, in the past, the Spark's activities were mostly confined to remote areas or infiltrated lower-level forces.

They had never imagined that the Spark would dare to extend its reach to the talented students of Mobei Nine Heavens Academy!

"These stinking bugs in the sewer!"

Zhan Chengfei's voice was chillingly cold, carrying undisguised killing intent.

"Minor skirmishes in the past were one thing, but now they dare to target Mobei's geniuses!"

"If that Bedrock is truly a member of the Spark, then his pursuit of Lu Yuan is probably not just a simple personal grudge!"

"The Spark... what exactly do they want?!"

A general said in a deep voice, "Are they trying to win over a genius like Lu Yuan? Or is it... that Lu Yuan possesses something they covet?"

No one could answer this question immediately.

But the sudden appearance of the Spark undoubtedly made this already murky water even more complex and unpredictable.

Zhan Chengfei issued another Order:

"This matter must be thoroughly investigated!"

"Order the Mobei Intelligence Bureau, in conjunction with the Academy's Dark Department, to dig out all of the Spark's strongholds and all their lurking personnel in Mobei!"

"I'll burn their damn Spark!"

"I want to see just how bold these creatures of the dark truly are!"

The Old Dean was seething with anger.

An unknown Seventh-Tier Flame Venerable was already headache-inducing enough.

Now, a Spark organization had emerged.

He had no way to deal with the Seventh-Tier Flame Venerable right now, but did he not have the means to deal with the Spark?

Directly launch a large-scale clean-up within the province!

He would dig three feet deep to drag out these scoundrels!

Kill them!

Zhan Chengfei suppressed the irritation in his heart.

"Let's return to the Academy first and plan this out carefully!"

"Immediately execute the previous Order, fully evacuate the students in the secret realm, and raise the alert level of the Academy and Mobei Province City to the highest!"

"The matters concerning the Flame Venerable and the Spark must be strictly monitored!"

His gaze once again turned towards the depths of the void.

"As for Lu Yuan..."

"We must see him alive, or his corpse!"

"Whether for his three gold source cards or for the flame heart crown, which may involve higher-level secrets, this child must not fall into the hands of others!"

"My Mobei's prodigy can only belong to Mobei!"

Lei Xiao: I dare not say, I dare not say... With a single command, six figures once again tore through space and vanished from their original spot... An extremely unstable black rift suddenly appeared, and then two figures stumbled out of it.

"Thud!"

A heavy landing sound echoed in the empty temple.

Lu Yuan stabilized himself and immediately looked around.

The familiar volcanic rock structure, the faint scent of sulfur, and fire-attribute Source Power permeated the air.

It was the core temple where he and Bedrock first set foot, and where the flame heart crown was sealed.

However, the Flame Sprites that had previously played and chattered around the crown were now nowhere to be seen, adding a touch of desolation to this already ancient temple.

"Hoo... hoo..."

The heavy, hurried panting of Blazing Flame came from beside him.

Lu Yuan looked sideways, and the Seventh-Tier Great Priest's condition was quite dire at this moment.

The dark gold flame shield that had originally burned on his body, as if substantial, was now dim and thin, and he was greatly weakened.

His tall body was slightly hunched, and his face was pale, clearly indicating that the continuous extreme jumps he had made with Lu Yuan through the deep void currents had caused him enormous exhaustion.

"My King..."

Blazing Flame struggled to straighten up, wanting to salute Lu Yuan, but he stumbled, nearly falling again.

Lu Yuan reached out to offer a supportive hand.

"No need for formalities."

His voice was calm.

Blazing Flame barely managed to steady himself, his voice hoarse, with an undisguised weariness.

"I have not failed my mission... We have safely arrived at the temple."

He looked around, a complicated expression in his eyes.

"This place is where our clan has worshipped sacred artifacts for generations; the energy is abundant, and it is extremely secluded."

"Those pursuers will never be able to track us here."

Lu Yuan nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over every corner of the temple.

Compared to when he last left, there seemed to be no significant changes here.

Only the high platform where the flame heart crown was originally placed was now empty.

The elemental chains had long since snapped, scattered on the ground, dissipating into the purest elemental energy.

In the air, there still seemed to be residual terrifying pressure and heat from the crown's awakening.

"Boss, it's so quiet here."

Little Red's voice echoed in Lu Yuan's consciousness, with a hint of curiosity.

"Where are those noisy little guys from before? Why can't I see any of them?"

Lu Yuan's heart stirred slightly.

Yes, where were those Flame Sprites?

Did the previous events scare them all away?

Or was it... He didn't delve deeper; there were more important matters at hand.

"Your Source Power is over-depleted; recover first."

Lu Yuan looked at Blazing Flame and spoke directly.

Blazing Flame's condition was worse than he had imagined.

If he didn't recover in time, it might leave significant hidden dangers.

"Does your world, or rather, your sai'an clan, not know how to actively absorb the free energy in the world for cultivation and recovery?"

Lu Yuan asked the doubt in his heart.

Logically speaking, Blazing Flame, as a Seventh-Tier powerhouse, and being in such a place rich in fire-attribute energy, his recovery speed should not be so slow.

Upon hearing this, Blazing Flame revealed a bitter smile.

"My King is wise."

"Our power, as Sai'an remnants, primarily originates from the inheritance of our bloodline and a shallow understanding of this world origin."

He sighed.

"Every burst of power is a deep overdraft of our bloodline origin and soul power."

"As for recovery... it relies more on the accumulation of time, allowing the bloodline power to slowly replenish itself, or by drawing faint power from the world origin through specific sacrificial rituals."

"Compared to the methods of Card Masters, who actively absorb Source Power through specific cultivation techniques to quickly restore themselves, our clan's recovery method is indeed... too primitive and inefficient."
