"Cut the crap. You two should just come back to the Discipline Hall with me obediently!" the leader of the guards said to the two of them.
"Senior Brother, what should we do now?" Hu Ke'er had just joined Mount Longhu not long ago and didn't know much about the rules here. So she turned to look at Chen Tianyi.
"Senior Brother Qin, let's talk this out. There's no need to go to the Discipline Hall right now. I'd like to see my master," Chen Tianyi said, his expression gradually softening. It was obvious that he had a plan in mind.
"This incident has caused quite a stir. I'm afraid even your master won't be able to protect you. You'd better come back with me obediently. Maybe I can put in a good word for you," Senior Brother Qin said, though the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up. He was clearly gloating over the thought of Chen Tianyi and Hu Ke'er being punished.
"No way. This incident has nothing to do with us. There's no reason to arrest us. If you really want to use force, I won't be afraid of you!" Chen Tianyi was very determined. He took a step forward and protected Hu Ke'er behind him.
"If something happens later, just stick this talisman on you and run. Go find that junior uncle who was in charge of the spiritual stone test!" Chen Tianyi's voice suddenly sounded in Hu Ke'er's mind. Hu Ke'er looked at him in surprise and found a yellow talisman in the palm of Chen Tianyi's outstretched hand that was blocking the others. It was obviously the talisman he was talking about.
"Senior Brother..." Hu Ke'er said with a worried look on her face.
"Maybe I can help you. With the weapons I made, we might be able to defeat these guys!"
"It's no use. These senior brothers are several levels stronger than me, and there are so many of them," Chen Tianyi shook his head.
"When I make a move later, you just run!"
"..." Chen Tianyi's voice sounded in Hu Ke'er's mind again. This time, Hu Ke'er didn't know what to say.
Although she knew Chen Tianyi was right, she still felt very guilty about leaving him here alone.
"What a hassle!" Hu Ke'er gritted her teeth slightly and then made a quick decision.
"Clatter!" She grabbed a handful of iron beads from her backpack and scattered them into the air. Countless beads fell around the group.
"Senior brothers, these are all detonation talismans. If you don't back off, I'll detonate them!" Hu Ke'er threatened.
"Humph, threatening the law - enforcing disciples of the Discipline Hall will only add to your crimes!" Senior Brother Qin sneered after hearing Hu Ke'er's words.
"Do you think you can threaten me with just these few detonation talismans? How ridiculous!" After saying that, Senior Brother Qin approached the two of them.
"Don't come any closer!" Chen Tianyi shouted out in warning when he saw Senior Brother Qin approaching again.
"Eh?" Senior Brother Qin was startled by Chen Tianyi's sudden roar and stopped in his tracks for a moment.
"What's wrong, Junior Brother Chen? Are you, an outer - sect disciple, also going to defy the sect rules like this new junior sister?"
"Qin, I know you don't like me, but this junior sister has nothing to do with this. Let her go!"
"Whether she's involved or not is not up to you!" Senior Brother Qin said as he approached Chen Tianyi again.
"Senior Brother Chen, it's okay. Watch me," Hu Ke'er said. Seeing that Senior Brother Qin had no intention of letting them go, she took out the Colt pistol she had used before.
"If you come any closer, I'll shoot!"
"Shoot?" Senior Brother Qin was stunned for a moment when he saw Hu Ke'er take out the Colt pistol.
"I've heard that you have some strange weapons, but I'm afraid the thing in your hand won't be able to hurt me," Senior Brother Qin said.
It seemed that this Senior Brother Qin was really targeting her and Senior Brother Chen. He must have studied her weapons. But she was not the same as before she went down the mountain. The crude weapons she made without enough time and materials before were far less powerful than the Colt pistol!
"Oh, well, then come and give it a try, senior brother," Hu Ke'er said with a slight smile on her lips. Then she switched on the safety of the Colt.
"Humph, just trying to be mysterious!"
"Bang!" As soon as Senior Brother Qin finished speaking, Hu Ke'er fired without hesitation.
After all, as the saying goes, "To catch the ringleader first." As long as she could intimidate this Senior Brother Qin, the others probably wouldn't dare to attack her and Senior Brother Chen!
"Aaaaah!!!" A scream came from Senior Brother Qin's mouth as the gunshot rang out.
"It hurts so much!" Bright red blood quickly flowed from Senior Brother Qin's thigh. There was also an obvious bulge at the place where the bullet had hit.
"This..." The other guards of the Discipline Hall looked at each other in surprise when they saw Hu Ke'er shoot Senior Brother Qin, who had been showing off just now, and then they all took a step back in unison.
"Senior Brother Qin, I only shot your leg this time. If you keep blocking us, the next bullet will go straight for your heart!" Hu Ke'er said with a smile.
Although Hu Ke'er didn't know how powerful this Senior Brother Qin was, since the bullet had had an effect, the situation would be much simpler.
"You little bitch, what did you just do!" Senior Brother Qin roared, holding his thigh. His eyes were blood - red, looking as if he wanted to kill someone.
"I didn't do anything," Hu Ke'er said, spreading her hands lightly. "I just hope you won't give me and Senior Brother Chen any more trouble, Senior Brother Qin!"
"Senior Brother Chen, let's go," Hu Ke'er said, then she pulled Chen Tianyi towards the Flying Tiger Hall where the spiritual stone test was held. The other disciples made way for them as they walked forward.
"You little bitch, just wait until my injury heals. I'll tear you to pieces!"
"So scary..." Hu Ke'er pulled Chen Tianyi and walked a short distance. Hearing the roar from behind, she curled her lips.
"Junior Sister, your weapon is so powerful! Even Senior Brother Qin, who is at the late stage of the God - Transformation Realm, is no match for you!" Chen Tianyi clearly didn't expect the weapon in Hu Ke'er's hand to be so powerful.
"Come on, Senior Brother Chen. Don't worry about this for now. It seems our troubles are just beginning!"
"Yeah, I know," Chen Tianyi nodded after hearing Hu Ke'er's words.
"Although we defeated Senior Brother Qin this time, he definitely won't let it go. And that junior uncle in charge who shifted all the blame for the collapse of the yuan - stone vein onto us may not be done yet!"
"Um, what should we do then?" Hu Ke'er thought the same as Chen Tianyi, but she was still not very familiar with Mount Longhu and had no idea how to deal with this situation.
"Let's go find that junior uncle first. Since it's not our fault, there must be a way to clarify things!"
"Okay, fine!" Hu Ke'er nodded slightly.
It seemed she had really gotten herself into a big trouble!
