Natasha and Anders hastily strode out of the cave. Anders grabbed a disciple of Bulrush Sect and demanded, “What’s going on here? Is someone here to occupy the celestial ore mine?”
“That’s not it, Mr. Hendley. Someone dug out a precious orb that’s likely a rare treasure!” the disciple answered.
When Anders heard that, he quickly headed in the direction everyone was hurrying in, and Natasha followed suit.
At the heart of the celestial ore mine, a disciple of Ruby Sect was reasoning with the disciples of Bulrush Sect with the Stillwind Orb in hand.
“It was a disciple of Ruby Sect who found this precious orb. Why should we give it to you?”
At that, a lanky disciple of Bulrush Sect declared, “We were the ones who discovered this entire celestial ore mine, so everything in here is naturally ours. Hurry up and hand it over.”
“Exactly! It’s ours, so hurry up and hand it over!”
“Hand it over! Otherwise, we’ll resort to force!”
All the disciples of Bulrush Sect chorused in agreement. The disciples of Ruby Sect did not back down either, each retorting loudly, “It belongs to whoever found it. Why should we give it to you?”
“We were the ones who found it, yet you want to snatch it away?”
“Don’t mistake Ruby Sect as easy prey!”
The disciples of Bulrush Sect and Ruby Sect were on the verge of breaking into a fight.
“Everyone, shut up!”
Anders and Natasha happened to arrive just then. They ordered the crowd to cease making noise.
Upon seeing that Natasha had arrived, that disciple of Ruby Sect swiftly handed the Stillwind Orb to her. “Ms. Fuller, this precious orb was found by a disciple of Ruby Sect, but those from Bulrush Sect want to snatch it away.”
Natasha took the Stillwind Orb from her disciple. At once, her eyes lit up. Not only could she sense the gusts of wind within it, but she could also hear the whistling of the wind.
Although she had no idea about the name of Stillwind Orb, she knew it had to be a magical iten since it was found in the Celestial Battlefield.
Anders’ eyes likewise lit up at the sight of the Stillwind Orb in Natasha’s hand. He hurriedly uttered, “Let me see what kind of magical item this precious orb is, Ms. Fuller.”
While saying that, he reached out to take it. However, Natasha dodged and put the Stillwind Orb away in the next heartbeat.
Following her action, Anders’ expression promptly turned icy.
“What’s the meaning of this, Ms. Fuller? Don’t forget that I was the one who first found the entire celestial ore mine before calling you and your disciples over. Bulrush Sect should have priority over the magical items found in here,” he stated frostily.
“That isn’t right, Mr. Hendley. This magical item naturally belongs to whoever found it. Besides, this celestial ore mine is in the Celestial Battlefield. It’s not yours. Why should anything found in it be given to you?” Natasha countered.
After Anders heard that, his expression turned even grimmer, and his aura grew in intensity. Perceiving that, Natasha did the same, prepared to fight him. Their disciples all dropped into fighting stances as well.
“I hope you think twice, Ms. Fuller. Is it worth making an enemy out of me for an orb you don’t even know its functions?” Anders threatened Natasha.
“I think it’s worth it.” Natasha snickered.
“Since you said that, then don’t blame me for showing you no mercy.”
Anders’ brows knitted together.
“So be it. I’m not scared of you.”
Indeed, Natasha was not the least bit afraid.
In the blink of an eye, the atmosphere at the scene reached a freezing point. Everyone was exceedingly tensed, waiting for the other to make the first move.
At that turn of events, Feenix, who was hiding among the disciples of Ruby Sect, abruptly shot out her hand and sent one of the disciples of Bulrush Sect flying.
That immediately lit the fuse.
“Kill them!”
“Kill them!”
Ruby Sect and Bulrush Sect engaged in battle outright. The couple who were intertwined intimately earlier struck at each other mercilessly then.
