1533 She Was Watched By A Million People (2/2)

Hua Wuyan was particularly impressed. She never took Gu Xijiu seriously because she did not think a little girl as young as Gu Xijiu could make any big impact. Not to mention surpassing her and the other heaven's gift disciples. However, she managed to achieve a level ten spiritual power though they had not met for only eight years!

Hua Wuyan only managed to reach level nine and a half. She thought that was considered fast and that it would impress Di Fuyi. Unfortunately, she never expected that Gu Xijiu would excel far beyond her.

Hua Wuyan had very complicated thoughts when she glimpsed at Gu Xijiu. In fact, she was agitated at how Di Fuyi used to look at Gu Xijiu differently. However, she could not deny it anymore.

A cyclone appeared around the tower as the spells were completed, and it rushed like a tornado toward the mansion of the counterfeit Celestial Master Zuo.

A moment later, a loud sound of a building collapsing was heard from afar. After a while, the cyclone returned rapidly with black mist and evil wraiths surrounding it.

Creepy and eerie sounds of sobbing and howling were heard as though many were crying and whaling. The temperature at the square decreased dramatically as the cyclone returned and the crowd quickly took a few steps back.

Although the wraiths in the black mist were clashing with each other, it could never break through the white glowing cyclone at the outer layer. Thus, even though the wraiths were ferocious, they could not form any threats to the crowd.

The cyclone and the black mist moved to the tower right away. The four heaven's gift disciples worked together to launch their power, while Gu Xijiu slowly flew into midair from the tower. Her elegant palms formed a giant ball above her head.

There were plenty of black clouds in the sky above the tower. However, it could not cover Gu Xijiu's white dress. She looked powerful and mighty.

The crowd was terrified when they saw so many evil wraiths. Besides that, they also worried about Gu Xijiu not being able to suppress the evil spirits at such a young age. Any mistake would bring chaos to them.

Fortunately, things went well. The crowd finally learned that Miss Gu could also handle the situation even if Celestial Master Zuo were not around! She could also complete the ritual ceremony! Perhaps, she was now as capable as Celestial Master Zuo? Who knows, she might be better than Celestial Master Zuo!

In the past two years, the wrongdoings of counterfeit Celestial Master Zuo had caused many negative impacts to Celestial Master Zuo's image, and many citizens hated him so much.

Although the truth had been revealed, some of the citizens were still unconvinced. They no longer admired or respected him as passionately as they did eight years ago.

In fact, the citizens subconsciously wished someone reliable could replace Celestial Master Zuo. Coincidentally, Gu Xijiu made a good fit for their wish! Most importantly, she was one of their own as she was raised in the Feixing Kingdom.

Therefore, the crowd could not stop cheering passionately when Gu Xijiu performed the salvation ritual ceremony on the evil wraiths. Their voice was even louder than when Celestial Master Zuo performed the ritual ceremony!

The entire square was occupied with loud applause and cheers followed by Gu Xijiu's name repeatedly called by the crowd when the last batch of evil wraiths disappeared in the air after the salvation ritual ceremony.

Gu Xijiu's name seemed to be magical now as it got many people excited as they called her name. Gu Xijiu looked at the audience as she stood on the tower. It was a sea of people.

She took a breath, and she knew she was watched by a million people. That made her recalled a song lyric. 'You're enjoying the light of glory in the crowd of a million…'

She remembered when she just traveled to this era and she was caught and forced to undergo a test by Di Fuyi. Back then, he was highly respected by the citizens, and everyone had to kneel out of respect wherever he went. However, she was like a rat which everyone despised.

Back then, she envied him so much to the extent she swore in her heart to achieve a similar glory as he did and eventually able to stand side by side with him! At that time, both of them were so different. However, she could finally fight side by side with him now!

Although she achieved her goal, she did not feel as excited as of how she imagined it in her head. She was exhausted from the ritual ceremony because it consumed a lot of her spiritual power. In fact, she almost failed at the latter stage just now. Fortunately, she managed to endure and finally accomplished the mission.

Therefore, the citizens had even more respect for her. However, why did Di Fuyi not come? It was the best time to win their trust again. The counterfeit had ruined his reputation; she thought he was supposed to grab the opportunity to gain their trust again. How urgent was the thing he needed to do? Perhaps, something was wrong with his health? Many questions began to float in her head... She could not wait to rush over and take a look at him.

The ritual ceremony finally ended. However, the crowd did not seem to intend to leave as they were still cheering and talking about it.

When Gu Xijiu was about to get down from the tower, Hua Wuyan walked toward her with a smile. ”Congratulations, Miss Gu! Based on your progress, you will soon surpass Celestial Master Zuo! Although Miss Gu is not a heaven's gift disciple, you're way better than all of us! You deserve all these blessings,” said Hua Wuyan.

Gu Xijiu glimpsed at her because she knew Di Fuyi was the reason for Hua Wuyan being sarcastic. Since she was relatively helpful earlier, Gu Xiju decided not to be calculative. Thus, she just nodded and wanted to leave.

Suddenly, Hua Wuyan grabbed her hand. ”Miss Gu, come on, let's be close,” said Hua Wuyan.

Her initial intention was to make Gu Xijiu feel pain on her fingers. Unfortunately, she realized her spiritual power was being absorbed by Gu Xijiu right at the moment she held her hand!

She was panic! ”What… What kind of black magic are you using?!”
