However, just as the beast shadow was about to pounce out of the temple, a mysterious light pattern flashed on the gate of the Beast Soul Hall. The beast shadow hit an invisible barrier, and its body flashed and disappeared.
Obviously, this is used to imprison the beast soul seal.
As the beast's shadow disappeared, the mysterious light pattern also slowly disappeared, and the surroundings returned to peace again.
Everyone's eyes returned to Qiu Yongcheng again.
At this time, Qiu Yongcheng no longer had any smugness on his face. He was spitting out mouthfuls of blood foam, his eyes were wide open like a dead fish, and he couldn't even groan.
Half of his body was leaning out of the hall, while the other half remained inside. His waist was twisted in a strange posture. It was obvious that his waist was broken when he was slapped by the beast shadow and hit the gate.
"Third Uncle..." The Qiu family members finally came to their senses, screamed, rushed to Qiu Yongcheng, and hurriedly fed him the pill.
The pill melted in his mouth, and Qiu Yongcheng finally regained his breath, but his face was still filled with confusion and despair. He muttered to himself in a daze, "How is this possible? I have clearly been recognized by the temple beast spirit and have clearly passed the assessment. Why is this happening? Why is this happening?"
Looking at Qiu Yongcheng's desperate and lifeless eyes, several mentors nearby felt sympathetic.
In all these years, I've never heard of a temple guardian beast attacking after recognizing a trial-taker. I wonder what happened today? Qiu Yongcheng's luck was truly unfortunate. He had clearly passed the assessment and was only a few steps away from leaving the Beast Soul Hall, but unexpectedly, joy would lead to tragedy, and the temple guardian beast would unleash its ferocious power at this critical moment.
No one noticed Mu Hanyan's slightly strange expression behind the crowd.
While others didn't know why the temple's guardian beast spirit had unleashed its fury, Mu Hanyan knew it all too well. It was clearly coming for her. If Qiu Yongcheng had dodged in time, nothing would have happened. However, having just passed the trial and still recovering from the tension, he didn't give it much thought and instinctively drew his sword to block the attack, leading to his fate.
After all, Qiu Yongcheng was actually helping her to take the blame.
"Palace Master, my third uncle should have passed the trial, right?" Seeing that Qiu Yongcheng had recovered his breath and was no longer in danger of his life, Qiu Zicheng finally felt relieved and started to think about the trial again.
The Qiu family is now surrounded by enemies on all sides, so they can only rely on Qiu Yongcheng.
"According to the rules of Longyan Academy for many years, only those who have obtained the recognition of the beast soul guarding the hall and walked out of the Beast Soul Hall alive can be considered to have passed the assessment." After Palace Master Qin finished speaking, he looked at Qiu Yongcheng, who was half inside the hall and half still staying outside.
The Qiu family members all had dejected expressions on their faces. Palace Master Qin's meaning was clear to them. Although Qiu Yongcheng had obtained the approval of the palace's guardian beast spirit, he was unable to walk out of the palace safely. Didn't you see that his lower body was still stuck inside the palace? This certainly couldn't be considered a success in the trial.
"But my third uncle has clearly gained the recognition of the temple's guardian beast spirit, and the temple door opened on its own. If the temple's guardian beast spirit hadn't suddenly gone crazy, he should have passed the trial." Qiu Yongcheng said anxiously.
"Well..." Palace Master Qin hesitated. Even he hadn't anticipated what had happened. As the Palace Master of the Beast Soul Hall, he was well aware of its history.
Nearly 300,000 years have passed since the Beast Soul Hall was built. Countless elite mentors have died in the Beast Soul Hall, but countless elites have also successfully passed the trial. This is the first time such a strange thing has happened.
"Palace Master Qin, Lord Qiu has finally passed the test of the palace guardian beast spirit, and the palace door opened automatically. How about giving him a break?" Several other instructors also pleaded.
Palace Master Qin hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward to check on Qiu Yongcheng's injuries, and finally sighed deeply.
"Alas, don't beg me anymore. Even if I show leniency and allow him to pass the trial, what will happen?" Palace Master Qin shook his head.
The expressions of those instructors changed slightly. They stepped forward to check Qiu Yongcheng's injuries and sighed like Palace Master Qin.
"It's over. Lord Qiu's Qi Sea meridians are completely broken. Even if the gods descend to the earth, they may not be able to save him. You should stop making things difficult for Palace Master Qin." A mentor advised.
"What!" All the members of the Qiu family stood there in shock as if they were struck by lightning.
Qiu Yongben himself let out a scream and fainted on the spot.
"Third uncle..." Qiu Zizhong and others came to their senses and burst into tears.
"Send Lord Qiu to my residence first. I will ask someone to treat his injuries later." Palace Master Qin couldn't bear to watch and gave the order.
Two disciples then stepped forward and carried Qiu Yongcheng out.
"Thank you, Palace Master Qin." Qiu Zizhong choked up as he thanked Palace Master Qin.
"Lord Qiu is also a mentor at our Longyan College. Don't worry, I will do my best to treat him." Palace Master Qin said.
The Qiu family members gradually stopped crying, but their expressions remained gloomy.
With Palace Master Qin stepping in, Qiu Yongcheng will definitely receive the best treatment. Saving his life will definitely not be a problem, and he may even be able to move freely like a normal person. However, his cultivation is destined to be lost, which is like adding insult to injury for the Qiu family.
"Lord Qin, I have never heard of the temple's beast spirit taking action after recognizing the strength of the trial-taker. Is there something strange about this?" Qiu Zizhong calmed down and spoke while looking at Mu Hanyan suspiciously.
Just when Third Uncle had passed the trial, an accident occurred that should never have happened, and Mu Hanyan happened to be outside the hall. Is there any connection between them?
"Why are you looking at me? You don't think I have the ability to control the beast spirit that guards the temple, do you?" Mu Hanyan said unhappily.
Although she was inextricably linked to Qiu Yongcheng's current fate, Miss Mu wasn't stupid; how could she possibly admit it? Of course, she wasn't wrong. She truly couldn't control the temple's guardian beast spirit; she simply inexplicably angered it. Mu Hanyan herself was a bit bewildered by the seemingly inexplicable resolution of a major hidden danger.
The eyes of the people around them looking at Mu Hanyan had changed at this time. This Mu Hanyan was a bit scary. Mu Hanyan's words just now echoed in everyone's ears again. "I'm afraid that you will be too happy and end up in sorrow. As a person, you should be low-key. Sometimes you are too happy too early, and the result is often that you want to cry but have no tears." Now the people of the Qiu family are not just wanting to cry but have no tears, they are simply crying like they have lost their parents! Could she foresee the future? At this time, a few people present suddenly remembered that Mu Hanyan had challenged the astrologer of the capital. It's terrifying to think about it! Thinking of this, these people subconsciously took two steps to the side.
"Hmph." Qiu Zizhong certainly didn't expect this. He snorted coldly with a dark face.
Of course, he didn't think Mu Hanyan had such ability, but he felt that the matter was too strange, so he had some doubts. If Mu Hanyan really admitted that he did it, Qiu Zizhong would not believe it.
