"Humph, don't use the sect leader senior brother to intimidate me. A disrespectful little girl like you should be expelled from the sect. Leave now by yourself, or I won't be polite!"
Uncle Zhao let out a cold snort, and then a powerful spiritual pressure burst out from his body. Hu Ke'er instantly felt a powerful force in front of her pushing her backward.
"You..."
Hu Ke'er originally wanted to say more, but the force was just too strong. She was pushed back more than a dozen steps by the huge force. Then she grabbed a collapsing boulder to prevent herself from being directly sent flying.
"You're really overestimating yourself. Do you think you can snatch the spirit stone refining chamber from me? I'm just warming up now. If you have any sense, just give up!"
Give up...
Hu Ke'er was a rather stubborn girl by nature. If Uncle Zhao hadn't pressured her like this, she might have given up the spirit stone refining chamber and tried other ways to study spirit stones. But now that someone was bullying her, there was no way she could back down!
"Uncle, I advise you to stop now, or it might be hard to explain to the sect leader uncle!"
"Humph, I don't believe that senior brother will do anything to me for dealing with an outer - sect disciple like you!"
As Uncle Zhao spoke, he waved his hand towards Hu Ke'er. Hu Ke'er immediately felt a force dozens of times stronger than before pushing her backward. She lost her grip and was sent flying.
"Junior sister!"
Just as Hu Ke'er was flying backward at an increasing speed, Chen Tianyi suddenly appeared behind her. He grabbed her arm and pulled her into his embrace.
Before Hu Ke'er could react, she was already in Chen Tianyi's arms.
"Senior brother Chen?"
"Phew, I heard from other disciples that there was a commotion here, so I came over first. I arrived just in time."
Chen Tianyi gave a simple explanation. Then he let go of Hu Ke'er and frowned as he looked at Uncle Zhao in the distance.
"Uncle Zhao, I wonder where junior sister offended you that you have to punish her like this?"
"I suspect she's a spy from another sect. If it weren't for her, how could the spirit stone refining chamber have suffered such a great disaster? Nephew, don't be deceived by this little girl! The spirit stone ore cotton is the foundation of our Mount Longhu. We must never hand it over to a girl of unknown origin!"
"Uncle Zhao, junior sister entered the sect through a legitimate arena competition. She's not of unknown origin. And even if there were really a problem, you don't have to be so cruel to a junior sister who doesn't know any Taoism at all, do you?"
Chen Tianyi frowned and retorted.
"Silly nephew, I think you've really been deceived by this seductress. I thought there was something strange about her during the arena competition. Otherwise, how could she have defeated Wang Ning without any cultivation?"
Uncle Zhao said with a cold laugh. Then without saying a word, he waved his hand at Hu Ke'er from afar.
"Old Zhao, I think you're getting more and more shameless!"
Just as Uncle Zhao's palm came down, an old voice sounded in Hu Ke'er's ear. She turned slightly and saw that it was Uncle Zheng, who had always helped her and Senior Brother Chen before.
"If you want this refining chamber yourself, go ask the sect leader senior brother for it. What's the point of bullying two kids here? It's really too shameless!"
"Old Zheng?"
When Uncle Zhao saw Uncle Zheng appear, he frowned, and his face turned ugly.
"Are you going to interfere even when I'm punishing a junior today?"
"So what? Can't I interfere if the punishment is wrong? I'll be honest with you. This girl was personally told by the sect leader senior brother to be taken good care of. There mustn't be any mistakes. If you dare to touch her, I'll definitely be不客气!"
"Do you really want to stop me?"
Hearing Uncle Zheng's words, Uncle Zhao's face became even uglier.
"Hehe, this is the senior brother's order. Otherwise, I wouldn't bother to interfere."
Uncle Zheng said with a chuckle, then picked up his wine gourd and took a few gulps.
"Come on, don't use the senior brother to intimidate me. I'm not afraid of this."
Uncle Zhao's eyes narrowed slightly. He suddenly made a move again. A bright red light shot out from his palm and headed straight for Hu Ke'er's fair neck.
"Burp!"
Seeing Uncle Zhao make a move, Uncle Zheng let out a burp. Then he casually threw his wine gourd as if by accident. The wine gourd directly rushed towards the red light.
Originally, Hu Ke'er thought there would be a huge explosion when the wine gourd collided with the red light. But unexpectedly, the wine gourd started spinning in mid - air the moment it met the red light, and the red light was continuously dispersed and resolved.
"Good for you, Old Zheng. You're really going against me!"
After saying that, Uncle Zhao gritted his teeth and took out his most determined attitude. He waved his sleeve, and another red light flew out.
"Come on, are you for real? You've even released your life - bound flying sword?!"
Seeing Uncle Zhao make a move again, Uncle Zheng was slightly surprised. Then he quickly waved the cattail fan in his hand. A khaki - colored light burst out from the fan and blocked the red light.
"So powerful..."
Seeing the battle between the two, Hu Ke'er was slightly stunned.
This was the real battle between cultivators. Every move of the two seemed simple, but in fact, it was extremely dangerous. This was just a situation of one defending and one attacking. If they fought with all their might, the spirit stone vein would probably be flattened soon.
Even if she had modern weapons in her hands now, it would be difficult to intervene in their battle. It seemed that in this world, she could only combine the spiritual energy of this world with the knowledge she knew to have a chance to compete with real cultivators!
"Junior sister, stop daydreaming. Let's retreat first!"
Just as Hu Ke'er was in a daze watching the battle between the two, Chen Tianyi appeared behind her at some point and pulled at the corner of her clothes.
"Huh? But what about Uncle Zheng?"
Hu Ke'er said with a worried look on her face.
"It's okay. Uncle Zheng is very powerful. These two can fight for three days and three nights like this. Let's prepare to treat the workers' injuries and repair the spirit stone refining chamber first!"
"Huh, what about those two uncles?"
"Just let them play here. They'll stop when they're tired."
"Oh..."
Hearing Chen Tianyi's words, Hu Ke'er scratched her head. She took a look at the two uncles who were still in the battle, then squatted down to draw her own drawings. From time to time, she would also take a look at the situation of the two uncles' battle.
