283 She Had Become the Victim (2/2)

Di Fuyi looked at her face and said, ”Really?” His voice was soft; so soft that it had terrified Hua Wuyan for no apparent reason.

Gu Xijiu went forward abruptly. She went around Qian Yueran and took a thorough look at him from head to toe.

Qian Yueran lost a slight bit of her temper, ”What are you looking at, young lady?”

Gu Xijiu responded rather drily, ”Nothing,” she then turned her head and walked away.

Qian Yueran was lost for words. He somehow had a feeling that there was something being left unsaid in the way she said ‘nothing’.

The test had started. The eight protectors of Fucang Hall stood at their respective positions at each corner of the Eight Diagrams, while Gu Xijiu had to position herself at the center of the Open Heaven Stage, with her back inclined to the middle of the three pillars.

There was a gear hidden in the mechanism of the pillar. Once she had clung herself to it, she was immediately held still by the chains that came out from the top of the pillar.

Di Fuyi started to perform the rituals at the center of the Eight Diagrams. There were brilliant rays of colored light at the tip of his fingers. There was a little resemblance to the Six Veins Legendary Sword, but better.

Followed by the rays of light, the clouds in the sky started to shift towards the center pillar. Lightning had struck suddenly in the dark clouds. Even in bright daylight, the lightning was strikingly bright, causing a bout of jitters.

This kind of public test was so scarce that almost no one had seen it with own eyes. It was such a tense moment that people started to hold their breath in anxiety.

Gu Xijiu was a little nervous, too, as she still had a little concern at the bottom of her heart.

Although she had not heard that people had died from accidents during the test before, the lightning that started to strike within the circling dark clouds had severely terrified her.

She started to assume that Celestial Master Zuo was planning to strike her by summoning the lightning.

It definitely looked like it from the way he performed the rituals.
