Perhaps it was because Han Li had warned him beforehand, and because Yang Wudi, an expert in developing poisons, was by his side, that he knew Bai Ming's condition couldn't be delayed.

In short, Bai He and Yang Wudi talked very quickly.

In less than five minutes, the two had removed the barrier and returned.

"We agree to your conditions."

It was Yang Wudi who spoke, and his attitude remained Bing Bing.

"We agreed, but I don't trust the people of your Spirit Hall. Besides, the value of the family heirloom far exceeds this treatment. You must Martial Soul Oath with me, promising not to hold back any tricks during the treatment and to let us leave safely after the treatment."

"Neither you nor the Spirit Hall members hiding in the shadows are allowed to stop us."

Out of caution, the Bai He even put forward some additional conditions.

Then, he and Yang Wudi saw that the people opposite them were looking at him with strange eyes, as if they had some pity in them.

Han Li the urge to laugh and replied seriously, "No problem. If you swear on your Martial Soul, I agree."

Han Li truly didn't expect that Bai He would make such a request. In this day and age, there are still people rushing to establish Martial Soul Oath with him.

Of course, from their perspective, there's nothing wrong with it.

Hmm, even this Old White Bird seems to have become somewhat adorable.

If the occasion weren't inappropriate, Han Li would have asked Bai He again if they wanted to add a few more items.

"It's good that you agree."

Although Bai He found their reaction somewhat strange, they didn't even ask to examine the family heirloom first.

But he didn't take it seriously and didn't think about the Martial Soul Oath at all. He only felt that the way the others were looking at him was strange because he had easily agreed to trade his family heirloom.

After all, swearing an oath with Martial Soul is the highest form of etiquette and commitment for the natives of the Douluo Continent.

After saying that, he took out a box from his Soul Tool with some heartache, gritted his teeth, and looked at Han Li: "First, swear an oath that once the treatment's effectiveness is confirmed, I will hand over the person and the goods."

"No problem."

Han Li nodded without hesitation and took the lead in swearing an oath.

On the other side, Bai He breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing his actions, and simultaneously performed the ritual.

After making the vow, Han Li turned to look at Ye Lingling behind him.

"Xiao Ai, I'm leaving the treatment to you."

When Ye Lingling heard his address, a blush flashed across her face, knowing that he was teasing her about her previous state.

At this moment, joking around, especially in front of her sisters, made her feel ashamed, but she still obediently took a few steps forward.

According to Han Li, half of the cost of this treatment— the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng —was hers. As a Healing System Soul Master, she couldn't resist the temptation of such a rare and precious medicine.

With a flash of Soul Power, a pure white scepter shimmering with starlight appeared in her hand, and five normal-colored Soul Ring appeared above her head. The Soul Ring flashed, and a beam of green light shot towards Bai Ming, who was lying on the ground.

"Alright, you two, you can rest assured now. He will definitely recover completely."

Han Li turned to look at Yang Wudi and Bai He, who were also staring in the direction of the treatment.

"It's very pure Life energy. I believe you now."

Yang Wudi withdrew his gaze and looked at Han Li.

"I can still do what it takes to get rid of people's troubles if I take their money."

Han Li shamelessly praised herself.

That makes sense.

Yang Wudi paused for a moment, then nodded. However, he seemed to think of something else, and his grip on the gun tightened again.

"It seems that you've decided to visit the Clear Sky Sect."

His little tricks did not escape Han Li's notice. Han Li smiled at Yang Wudi. An enemy is someone you have to seize every opportunity to strike.

"This has nothing to do with you."

Yang Wudi replied coldly.

"No, this is actually related to me."

Han Li, however, did not care about his actions and instead replied leisurely, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend, don't you think?"

"I am also an enemy of your Spirit Hall."

Yang Wudi's attitude remained cold and hard.

"Well, that makes sense. But it seems you really don't want to see your brother and son. What a pity."

Han Li's regretful expression made Yang Wudi tighten his grip on the gun.

"I already considered them dead, and since they are now members of the Spirit Hall, they are my enemies."

Yang Wudi's voice unconsciously rose slightly.

"You're right. When we get back, I'll suggest that the two of them visit the Clear Sky Sect. What do you think?"

When it comes to stirring people's emotions, even Broad Hill admits that he is no match for his disciple Han Li.

Upon hearing Han Li's words, not only Yang Wudi, but even Bai He, who had been paying close attention to the injuries of his clansmen, was somewhat stunned.

How shameless! This is clearly a blatant threat.

"You dare!"

Sure enough, Yang Wudi could no longer remain calm, and even had the urge to hand over the Soul Breaking Spear.

"You see, your reaction and what you said don't match at all. When it comes to being a person, being honest is better for everyone."

Han Li laughed. He wasn't that shameless, but he just didn't like people talking to him with such formality.

"You won. What do you want to say?"

Yang Wudi took a deep breath and suppressed all his anger.

"It's nothing, just wanted to chat with you about what happened back then, and maybe even unite our sides."

Han Li revealed a playful smile. Seeing Yang Wudi and Bai He frown again, he spoke up in time, "Don't worry, I have no intention of recruiting you. It's just that as a member of the Spirit Hall, I must tell you something, so that you won't choose the wrong side later."

Han Li's words sent a chill down their spines, making them feel uneasy as if they were being pricked by thorns.

Choosing the wrong side? Is the Spirit Hall about to make another big move? "Oh, don't misunderstand. As everyone knows, the Spirit Hall has always been benevolent and has always taken it upon itself to combat Evil and maintain peace. It is an orthodox force that never initiates friction with any other power."

Seeing their expressions, Han Li knew what they were thinking, so he spoke with righteous indignation.

Yang Wudi and Bai He exchanged a glance but did not refute it.

Even though they considered themselves enemies of the Spirit Hall, they couldn't find fault with the Spirit Hall in this regard.

Over the years, the Spirit Hall has indeed taken the initiative to assume these responsibilities. Although it has been a bit domineering at times, it has been true overall.

But what does this have to do with them? They didn't beg the Spirit Hall to do this.

"So, have you really never thought about why the Pope of the Spirit Hall hunted down Tang Hao back then?"

Why do you think Tang Hao didn't dare to return to the Clear Sky Sect back then?

"And why did the former sect leader of the Clear Sky Sect die of anger?"

"Why did the Clear Sky Sect choose to close its mountain, even with the support of both the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?"

Han Li bombarded the two with a series of questions, leaving them momentarily speechless.

"Isn't it because the Clear Sky Sect was too powerful back then that you felt threatened?"

Almost without thinking, Bai He gave the answer he had in mind.

"You really think so?"

Han Li stared at the Bai He as if it were a rare species, clicking his tongue and shaking his head.

Isn't that so?

Bai He blushed slightly. He had only expressed the consensus, so what? "Ah, yes, yes, you're right. Then why do you think Tang Chen was able to rise to power alive? And why is Sword Douluo still alive and well after his father's death?"

"If the Spirit Hall's way of doing things is really as you say, how could they have cultivated to the point of being titled? Don't be ridiculous."

Han Li shut Bai He up with just a few simple words.

Undoubtedly, Han Li's words make sense.

Even Yang Wudi fell into deep thought. Yes, apart from those Fallen Soul Masters, it seems that Tang Hao is indeed the first soul Soul Master to make the Spirit Hall publicly issue a kill order, and even the Pope personally took action.

If he remembers correctly, the charge at the time was colluding with Soul Beast.

Colluding with Soul Beast? These words flashed through Yang Wudi's mind once again, and his body couldn't help but tremble.

Was the content of the announcement released by Qian Xunji at that time true?

Yang Wudi's voice had become hoarse and dry at some point.

"What?"

Bai He subconsciously looked at his old friend, only to find that Yang Wudi's face was frighteningly pale.

"Of course it's true. Don't forget, the Spirit Hall is also responsible for dealing with the Soul Beast on the continent."

Seeing Yang Wudi's reaction, Han Li knew that he had understood.

What are you talking about?

Bai He felt a slight itch on his scalp, as if something was about to grow out, and he also felt that he had overlooked something.

"At that time, the Spirit Hall issued a warrant for Tang Hao's arrest, accusing him of colluding with Soul Beast."

Yang Wudi stared at his friend and said, word by word.

"Ha, how... is this possible..."

Bai He initially thought his friend was joking, but as soon as he laughed, he realized something.

His voice grew softer and softer until, by the end, almost only his lips were moving, but no sound came out.

"Grass"

After a long pause, Bai He managed to utter a single word.

It's not common for Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast to transform into a human, but it does happen.

Or rather, many of the Soul Master recorded in history who possessed 100,000 Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone obtained them in this way.

The sacrifice method became known to human Soul Master because such things had happened before.

The 100,000 Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone are recognized as the number one treasure in the Soul Master World.

As countless Soul Master yearned for this knowledge, it naturally spread widely. In fact, many people, when they were young, fantasized that they might encounter something similar after hearing the news.

As it turns out, they've actually run into each other now, but it's because of that bastard Tang Hao.

"So, what did Tang Hao do?"

The Bai He crane asked hesitantly.

"It's nothing, he had a child with that Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast."

Han Li, with a rather mischievous grin, changed the measure word to make it more vivid and descriptive, so that the two could understand it better.

Yang Wudi and Bai He opened their mouths, but didn't know how to respond. Should they ask what kind of creature it was? "So, after knowing the truth, do you still think the Spirit Hall's actions were wrong? Or do you still think that your fight against the Spirit Hall back then was righteous?"

Han Li continued his relentless pursuit, delivering the final blow.

"We don't know the truth either; we've been misled."

The Bai He struggled weakly.

"But if I remember correctly, when the previous Pope was hunting down Tang Hao, he announced the reasons to all the Soul Master on the continent, didn't he?"

Han Li tilted his head, seemingly seeking confirmation from the two of them.
