Flying Crane Sect:
Zhao Mei quietly stared at the unusual spirit beast standing before her.
The creature possessed the body of a lion, yet stood upright like a human.
Four muscular arms rested by its sides.
Five tails swayed slowly behind its back.
Six sharp horns curved proudly from its head, giving it an imposing appearance.
The beast respectfully cupped its fists.
"This humble one is Beast Emperor Qin Qiong."
Zhao Mei carefully examined him from head to toe.
After several moments, she slowly shook her head.
"You failed."
Her voice remained calm.
"Still, I admire your courage for traveling all the way here."
She casually flicked a spatial ring toward him.
"Take these one thousand high-grade spirit stones as your reward."
Qin Qiong hurriedly caught the ring.
He briefly inspected its contents before his eyes widened in disbelief.
He immediately bowed deeply.
"Thank you, Sect Master Zhao."
With that, he respectfully withdrew.
