Luo Jinxiao was pushed so hard by her that she almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, she was nimble and ran a few steps before she was able to stand steadily in front of Qu Weiyin.
The corners of Qu Weiyin's lips relaxed a little, but her expression soon turned cold and she waved her hand to let her stand aside.
"Come back last and take a good look."
Luo Jinxiao scratched his head and stood behind Qu Weiyin, wondering what she was up to.
The next person to come forward was the rather timid girl. Her face turned red at this moment, and she didn't know where to put her hands. She shivered for a long while before she began to use her spiritual power.
Everyone watched with bated breath. After an unknown amount of time, the center of the hall was still empty.
Seeing this, the girl burst into tears of disappointment. Qu Weiyin looked impatient. Chang Siyu glanced at her and waved for the girl to leave.
"Yanying, come here." Chang Siyu said.
Yan Ying walked forward quickly, seemingly fearless. She was also quite talented. In a moment, the formation took shape and the vast amount of spiritual power was injected into it, instantly stirring up a storm.
Everyone present was blown to and fro, only Qu Weiyin and Chang Siyu were still standing. Qu Weiyin remained calm, and not even a strand of hair on his forehead fluttered.
Luo Jinxiao, who was standing behind Qu Weiyin, also benefited from this and only took two steps back.
"It's a spirit animal. What is that? A bird?" Everyone shouted in surprise. "A peacock! It's a peacock!"
Yan Ying opened her eyes wide, unable to hide her joy. According to legend, a phoenix gives birth to nine chicks, and the peacock is the sixth. It is extremely ferocious, and a breath from it can create a gust of wind ten miles long. Although it cannot be considered a true mythical beast, it can barely be considered half one. It is a great luck that she can summon this beast.
Even Chang Siyu opened his eyes wide and praised him repeatedly.
The peacock that had just been called out was still a young bird. After a while, it fell asleep on the shoulder of the warbler. She ran back to the crowd with a smile on her face, causing a commotion.
"Next one." Qu Weiyin continued speaking as if she saw nothing.
What followed was much less interesting, as most of them were ordinary spirit beasts, but everyone was satisfied. Only Lu Fanzhi was special, as she actually summoned out a giant yellow fat cat.
The spirit beasts of others were at least majestic, but hers fell to the ground and fell asleep as soon as she came out. It took several people to lift it aside. Luo Jinxiao watched the scene and laughed so hard that she was shaking with laughter.
Qu Weiyin was enjoying herself when she glanced at her and said, "You, go up."
As soon as Luo Jinxiao saw Qu Weiyin, he immediately swallowed his smile and walked to the center of the hall with a serious face.
People kept whispering around. Luo Jinxiao knew that they were waiting to laugh at her, but she didn't care. She just focused on dealing with the formation in front of her.
When the girl is serious, there is a faint light in her eyes. Her profile is picturesque, with every stroke and angle just right. She looks sweet when she smiles and cold when she doesn't.
Qu Weiyin suddenly realized that she was staring at Luo Jinxiao in a trance. She quickly looked away and coughed lightly.
Luo Jinxiao prepared herself with ease, stretched out her right hand, and gradually gathered her spiritual power in one place, then slowly poured it into the formation. She was glad that her training over the past few days was at least enough for her to complete this formation.
As expected, there was no movement. Luo Jinxiao was not disappointed and tried to take back his spiritual power.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the magic circle that was very calm just now suddenly changed color, and the black light and shadow slowly rose to the air, and then suddenly expanded, bombarding all the people around, and screams suddenly rang out.
Qu Weiyin subconsciously waved her hand to seal the area. The pale golden seal protected the disciples around her tightly. She frowned and stepped forward, wanting to help Luo Jinxiao, but she heard Luo Jinxiao shouting, "Don't move!"
She stopped right where she was.
Luo Jinxiao was already sweating profusely at this time. She felt that what she was about to summon was definitely not a good thing, so she tried desperately to push it back, but the thing in the formation had extremely strong thoughts and was struggling violently, trying to break free from the shackles.
Luo Jinxiao felt like her teeth were about to break. She tried to use every bit of spiritual power in her body to suppress the huge and terrifying thing in the formation.
However, her spiritual power was too weak, and she obviously could not deal with such a huge monster. A fishy and sweet taste filled her throat, and she almost fainted.
Qu Weiyin stood where she was, looking coldly at everything in front of her, but underneath this calm expression, her palms were covered in sweat.
Luo Jinxiao no longer cared about anything else at this moment. She silently recited her heart mantra, trying to use the seal to prevent the appearance of the giant in front of her, but it was useless. Soon, a huge head appeared in the center of the hall.
The giant beast finally saw the light of day, and began to shake its head and wag its tail excitedly. It didn't want to be controlled by anyone, so it suddenly opened its mouth and roared. The foul breath was accompanied by a strong wind that made Luo Jinxiao stagger.
Luo Jinxiao tried hard to open her eyes wide and vaguely saw the head that was several times larger than her arm. Its head looked very scary, with red and angry eyes, golden fur with stripes, which was very weird.
Luo Jinxiao couldn't see clearly what it was for a moment, and suddenly there were sounds of fear all around. It turned out that the giant beast had broken free from its restraints, and stood up, swaying from side to side. Its four claws were like a tiger, and its legs and feet were like pillars, looking very majestic.
With a swish sound, the scarlet wings on its back stood up again, and shook in the air, blowing Luo Jinxiao back a few steps.
"What is this? It looks like a tiger's head, but why does it have wings?" someone asked in a trembling voice.
Luo Jinxiao didn't need anyone to answer him, he saw its appearance clearly and was equally shocked.
This is actually the ancient ferocious beast, Qiongqi!
But this Qiongqi is still young. According to ancient books, Qiongqi has a body like a tiger, bird wings, and likes to eat humans. It is a vicious beast that must be eradicated.
And if Luo Jinxiao remembered correctly, after Qu Weiyin became the Demon Lord in his previous life, the mount he often used was an extremely ferocious Qiongqi.
Before she had time to think about it, the ferocious beast in front of her suddenly became impatient. It began to swing more vigorously, as if trying to break free from Luo Jinxiao's restraints, and attempted to rampage through the hall. Luo Jinxiao was no match for it and was dragged by it with her shoulders crooked and her body tilted.
Qiongqi suddenly let out a sharp howl and exhaled a breath of foul air. Luo Jinxiao's heart trembled and he quickly turned his head to avoid it.
In the blink of an eye, Qu Weiyin, who had been standing, suddenly moved. Her figure suddenly appeared beside Luo Jinxiao, without even a trace of her afterimage. She quickly pulled Luo Jinxiao over and pushed her behind her.
The vast spiritual power belonging to Qu Weiyin instantly filled the entire hall. Golden light gushed out from her palms, wrapping the ferocious beast tightly. Qiongqi was tied up, and his anger gradually rose. His eyes became even redder, as if they were on fire.
"It's going to be angry. Chang Siyu, take everyone away!" Qu Weiyin turned his head to the side and said sternly.
Chang Siyu, who had been in a daze, jumped up as if awakened from a dream when he heard the words. He quickly walked to both sides of the hall and pulled all the disciples who didn't know what to do out of the hall.
After settling his disciples, Chang Siyu was worried about Qu Weiyin, so he rushed in again. As he turned around, he was fanned against the wall by Qiongqi's wings and instantly lost consciousness.
"What are you standing there for? Get out now! Do you want to stand here and wait to die?" Qu Weiyin blocked Luo Jinxiao with one hand, clamped Qiongqi with the other hand, and turned back to say angrily.
The wind was howling fiercely in the hall, and the light was dazzling, making Qu Weiyin's profile somewhat blurry. Her hair was flying in the air, like a head of golden and silver hair, and for a moment she looked like a banished immortal.
Luo Jinxiao was stunned for a moment, then he did as she said and moved aside.
Qu Weiyin no longer looked at her. She stood alone in the center of the hall, her robe fluttering, her figure tall and slender, her curves beautiful and soft as those of a woman. She pursed her red lips, her phoenix eyes fixed on the ferocious beast in front of her.
Gorgeous, majestic, and lonely.
Luo Jinxiao ran a few steps and then turned his head again for some unknown reason, while avoiding the strong wind generated by the wings of Qiongqi.
Although Qiongqi is small, it is an ancient beast after all, and Qu Weiyin is no longer the Demon Lord of her previous life, so she can't completely control it, and she is somewhat powerless. She has the intention to kill it, and with a raise of her right hand, the Crescent Moon and Star Sword appears in her palm, floating in the air, the scabbard pops open, and the red light instantly suppresses Qiongqi.
"When you are in deep emptiness and stillness, all things will come into being." Qu Weiyin's eyes were illuminated by the light, sparkling and resolute. She whispered, trying to subdue Qiongqi by force.
Qiongqi was really angry now. Knowing that Qu Weiyin was not easy to deal with, he suddenly took another approach and turned towards Luo Jinxiao, with his bloody mouth as if he wanted to bite off Luo Jinxiao's head in one bite.
Before Luo Jinxiao could react, she felt a soft arm approaching and holding her waist from behind. Then, she fell into a soft and fragrant embrace, and someone half-hugged her to protect her tightly.
Her heart suddenly tightened, as if something was grabbing it, and her cheeks turned slightly red.
Qu Weiyin appeared beside her again without her knowing it, protected her without hesitation, and whispered "waste" viciously in her ear.
Luo Jinxiao never thought that Qu Weiyin would actually save her. While she was stunned, a trace of blood suddenly flowed out from the corner of Qu Weiyin's mouth, leaving a blood mark on her lips.
When Qiongqi smelled the blood, he became more and more crazy and difficult to control. Qu Weiyin was injured while saving her and gradually lost the battle. She just held Luo Jinxiao's hand tightly and did not let go.
Luo Jinxiao didn't know what her mood was at the moment. For the first time, she hated herself for being like this and having to rely on others for protection.
She suddenly remembered something and whispered a mantra.
In an instant, the hall was filled with another spiritual power, which was even colder and stronger than the previous one. It was midsummer, but it felt like frost, and the cold wind was biting.
"Be careful." She said softly in Qu Weiyin's ear with some apology.
