"Boom!"
Suddenly, a loud noise burst out from the thunder light that enveloped Chen Tianyi and Uncle Wen. Then the thunder light began to gradually dissipate, crackling from time to time as it danced on their bodies.
"Uncle Wen, how is Senior Brother Chen?" Hu Ke'er asked with concern.
"He should be okay. He'll wake up in a while. But I just borrowed a great deal of the Thunder God's power. The celestial beings must have noticed. I'm afraid they'll come to cause trouble before long," Uncle Wen said with an embarrassed look.
"Don't worry, Lao Wen. If the sky falls, there are taller people to hold it up," Master said as he took a sip from his wine gourd.
"You! All you know is drinking. You're well aware of how troublesome this matter is," Uncle Wen said, looking like he was facing a formidable enemy, quite different from Master's calmness.
"It's okay. Do you think if the Sect Leader just went to disperse the disciples, why hasn't he come back yet?" Master said slowly.
"You mean the Sect Leader went to call for reinforcements?" Uncle Wen asked after hearing Master's words.
"What else?" Master retorted.
"Then we can only hope that the Sect Leader can persuade the Celestial Master lineage to stop the Wen family," Uncle Wen said with a bitter smile.
"Uncle Wen, why hasn't Senior Brother Chen woken up yet?" Hu Ke'er frowned slightly as she saw the crackling thunder light still dancing on Chen Tianyi's body.
"It won't be that fast. Although his origin has been repaired, he still needs some time to replenish his spiritual energy. I'm not sure when he'll wake up," Uncle Wen said softly.
"Oh, I see," Hu Ke'er replied and then stared intently at Chen Tianyi.
"Senior Brother Chen, you must wake up!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Suddenly, there came a series of explosions. Hu Ke'er was startled, and at the same time, the faces of Master and Uncle Wen changed drastically.
"Someone triggered my spiritual energy mines!"
"What a powerful aura! It must be someone from the celestial beings!" Uncle Wen and Master exchanged a look and then turned to Hu Ke'er and said, "Girl, you stay here and take care of this kid. We'll go outside to check the situation!"
"Okay!" Hu Ke'er nodded after hearing Uncle Wen's words, but she was extremely worried.
"Senior Brother Chen, wake up quickly. We can run away together!" Hu Ke'er prayed as she saw the thunder light on Chen Tianyi's body gradually fade away.
"Whirr—"
Not long after Hu Ke'er finished speaking, Chen Tianyi's finger twitched slightly, and then his lips parted slightly.
"Water..."
"Here's water. I'll get it for you right away!" Hu Ke'er quickly got up when she saw Chen Tianyi showing signs of waking up. She poured a cup of tea from the teapot beside her.
"Gulp! Gulp!" Hu Ke'er held the cup to Chen Tianyi's mouth and fed him. After he drank four or five cups of tea in a row, his eyes slowly opened.
"Little Junior Sister, why am I here?" Chen Tianyi got up, looked at Hu Ke'er, and then looked around, looking utterly confused.
"Senior Brother Chen, you're finally awake!" Hu Ke'er hugged him tightly and said excitedly when she saw Chen Tianyi wake up.
"Little Junior Sister..." Chen Tianyi was a bit at a loss when he was hugged tightly by Hu Ke'er.
"Oh, it's nothing... I thought you wouldn't wake up. I'm so glad you're awake!" Hu Ke'er wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"What on earth happened? I only remember that I was ambushed during the inner - sect test. I don't remember anything after that..." Chen Tianyi said softly.
"Little Junior Sister, could you tell me what happened later?"
"Senior Brother, your bloodline power went out of control. Then Senior Sister Bai Susu defeated you with the Nether Moon. But because the out - of - control bloodline power overdraught your spiritual power, your origin was damaged. So Uncle Wen borrowed the Thunder God's power to wake you up," Hu Ke'er replied softly.
"Ah?" Chen Tianyi was stunned for a moment after hearing Hu Ke'er's words.
"Little Junior Sister, do you mean that my master has left seclusion and borrowed the Thunder God's power to replenish my origin?"
"Yes," Hu Ke'er nodded vigorously.
"Damn it! Doing this will surely be noticed by the celestial realm!"
"Yes... They've already come. Now my master and your master have gone to fight them together!"
"No!" Chen Tianyi said as he got out of bed.
"Senior Brother Chen, what are you doing?!" Hu Ke'er was startled when she saw Chen Tianyi getting out of bed.
"I'm going to help my master and the others!" Chen Tianyi said as he made a sword formula.
"Flying sword..." But before he could finish chanting the incantation, his body swayed slightly and he fell to one side.
"Senior Brother Chen!" Hu Ke'er quickly reached out to support him when she saw him falling.
"Senior Brother Chen, you're so weak now. You should rest here. You won't be able to help Master and the others even if you go!"
"But this matter started because of me. It's too difficult for Master and the others to deal with those from the celestial realm. Let me go!" Chen Tianyi frowned.
"No, Senior Brother Chen. If you go now, you'll just be a burden to Master and the others. If you're really worried, stay here. I'll go and check for you!"
"But..."
"There's no 'but'. Senior Brother Chen, recover here first. This is the Concentration Pill that Senior Sister Liu gave me before. It can help you replenish your spiritual energy. Recover your spiritual energy first!" Hu Ke'er stuffed a small jade bottle into Chen Tianyi's hand and then activated her spiritual energy motorcycle and rushed towards the Cloud Sea Formation.
"Boom!"
However, before Hu Ke'er could reach her destination on her spiritual energy motorcycle, she saw a huge commotion in the distance. Then a bolt of thunder directly shattered the Cloud Sea. A figure emerged from it and rushed towards her.
"It's not Master or Uncle Wen?!" Hu Ke'er frowned slightly when she saw that the person was a young girl in a cyan brocade dress. Then she turned the motorcycle around and sped back towards where Chen Tianyi was.
"Explode!" Hu Ke'er of course didn't forget the spiritual energy bombs she had set before. As the girl passed by, she detonated them without hesitation.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
"Hehe, these spiritual energy bombs should be able to hold you back for a while," Hu Ke'er said as she looked back at the fire from the explosion. She could clearly feel the scorching wind from the explosion on her back.
"I'm afraid that won't be enough," the young girl in the cyan dress suddenly appeared in front of Hu Ke'er just as she turned around.
