Holy Son of the Spirit Hall?

"Someone come here!" The young man instinctively summoned his Martial Soul, his Soul Power overflowing as he showed a highly vigilant expression.

His slightly trembling fingers revealed that he was not at peace.

When the Clear Sky Sect was attacked by the Spirit Hall and the Speed Clan was driven to desperation, he was not even ten years old.

But that experience still left a deep mark on his heart.

The Sharp-tailed Swallow Martial Soul has no combat power, and coupled with its extreme speed, it actually suffers the least loss among the Four Single-Attribute Clans.

But ultimately, some members of the tribe died in that battle.

His heart still aches whenever he thinks of his people who will never return.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Hai was surrounded by members of the Speed Clan.

Figures converged from all directions at a speed too fast for the naked eye to perceive, forming a dense, impenetrable human wall.

All those who surrounded them were merely Martial Soul Possession; not a single one of them used Soul Skill.

That sheer speed... the Sharp-tailed Swallow certainly has every reason to be proud!

Lin Hai secretly admired him, which further strengthened his resolve to make this trip.

"What brings Your His Highness the Saint Son to my Speed Clan?" Before anyone knew it, a gaunt old man had quietly appeared in front of the crowd.

He was thin, but stood ramrod straight, like an old pine tree that had weathered many storms.

With him was a girl who looked about twelve or thirteen years old.

Her purple hair was tied into playful pigtails, swaying gently with her movements.

Her skin was fair and delicate, gleaming with a luminous glow in the sunlight, and her features were so exquisite they were almost unreal.

The only problem is that she's too thin and lacks any curves.

The girl was standing beside the old man, curiously looking at Lin Hai.

The two were Bai He, the patriarch of the Speed Clan, and his granddaughter Bai Chenxiang.

Lin Hai nodded to the two men and smiled gently, saying, "I've come to discuss a couple of business deals with Chief Bai He."

"Business?" Bai He frowned, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes, wondering what the other party was up to.

He hesitated for a moment, then finally raised his hand in a gesture of invitation. "Let's talk inside!"

The news of Lin Hai's great victory over Tang Hao in Spirit City had already spread throughout the continent.

As Speed Clan who once had close ties with the Clear Sky Sect, Bai He naturally paid attention to this matter.

Even his nephew, who had killed the Pope with a hammer, was no match for this man. No matter how much backbone he had, he wouldn't dare to turn Lin Hai away.

Judging from their posture, they didn't seem to be here to cause trouble, but as Bai He turned around, she still secretly transmitted her voice to her granddaughter:

' Xiangxiang, if things look bad, don't worry about me. Leave immediately and go to the Breaking Clan to find your Grandpa Yang!'

Bai Chenxiang was slightly taken aback, thinking that her grandfather was worrying unnecessarily.

This Holy Son is not only handsome, but also gives off an incredibly kind vibe; he doesn't seem like a bad person at all.

Moreover, judging from his appearance, he is only around twenty years old.

He was still young when those events happened, and might not have even joined the Spirit Hall yet. What did the feud between the two families have to do with him?

Moreover, no matter how hateful the Spirit Hall is, it is still an opposing force, unlike the Clear Sky Sect, which betrayed its own people.

But she still obediently nodded, not going against her grandfather's wishes.

She knew that she couldn't truly understand the pain her grandfather had experienced and his wariness of the Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect.

In fact, there are many people in the Four Single-Attribute Clans who share the same idea as Bai Chenxiang, especially the middle and older generations of the Speed Clan.

Most of them knew one thing—

The other three clans are merely affiliated families of the Clear Sky Sect, but the Speed Clan has a genuine kinship relationship with the Clear Sky Sect through marriage.

They can give up just like that!

Upon entering the room, Bai He dismissed the clansmen, and the already small hall suddenly felt much more spacious.

He then glanced at the motionless Bai Chenxiang and said in a deep voice, "Xiangxiang, you go out too."

Just as Bai Chenxiang was about to say something, Lin Hai said:

"Why don't we let Miss Bai stay and listen? One of the business deals I want to discuss is related to her."

"What does this have to do with me?" Bai Chenxiang was taken aback upon hearing this, a hint of doubt flashing in her bright eyes.

Then, as if she had just thought of something, her face flushed slightly, and her fingers unconsciously twisted the hem of her clothes.

Could it be...? This is just too outrageous!

She secretly glanced at Lin Hai, and the more she looked, the sadder she felt. He was so handsome, why did he have to be the Holy Son of her enemy?

Bai He's expression also changed from calm to somewhat unpleasant, and he said in an unfriendly tone:

"Please speak plainly His Highness the Saint Son."

His voice was clearly wary, and he leaned forward slightly, as if ready to protect his granddaughter at any moment.

"Alright, then I'll get straight to the point." Lin Hai said nonchalantly, his gaze sweeping over the grandfather and grandson. "For my first business deal, I'd like to purchase some blood from the Bai Family."

"Regardless of age, as long as the blood of Soul Master possesses the Sharp-tailed Swallow Martial Soul, it's acceptable."

"This..." The grandfather and grandson exchanged a glance, their eyes full of question marks, completely bewildered by this unexpected request.

"If I may ask, why does the Holy Son wish to obtain the blood of my people?" Bai He asked, frowning.

This request was so strange that he had to treat it with caution.

"It's inconvenient to say, but I can guarantee that the Speed Clan will be unharmed in this matter." Lin Hai shook his head, his expression sincere.

He paused, then continued:

"Senior, please name your price. Whether it's Gold Soul Coin or Hidden Weapon that can enhance combat power, the Spirit Hall can provide them."

"Hidden Weapon?" Bai Chenxiang asked from the side, her tone full of confusion.

What are Hidden Weapon? Aside from Soul Ring and Spirit Bone, she had never heard of anything that could enhance Soul Master's combat power.

"Yes, Hidden Weapon!" Lin Hai nodded, flipped his hand and took out a modified Godly Zhuge Crossbow that was already cocked, aimed it at the wall and pulled the trigger.

"Whoosh--"

Nine crossbow bolts shot out with a single whooshing sound, leaving faint afterimages in the air before disappearing into the wall.

"Click--"

Then, the entire wall rapidly cracked, the cracks spreading like a spider web, until finally the entire wall shattered, raising a cloud of dust.

Oh my god...

Not to mention Bai He and Bai Chenxiang, even Lin Hai, the instigator, was taken aback.

He held up the improved Godly Zhuge Crossbow, blinked, and seemed somewhat incredulous.

Are you kidding me...? This thing is that powerful? I didn't even know it was!

Is your house a dilapidated building?!

Seeing Bai He's obvious pained expression, Lin Hai touched his nose somewhat embarrassedly and chuckled awkwardly, saying, "Um... I'll pay for it!"

The Bai He was also in an awkward position at that moment.

He could sense that this object was indeed quite powerful, capable of threatening even Soul King level expert if used unexpectedly.

If it were Soul King from their Speed Clan, they could kill him head-on.

But while it is powerful, it certainly doesn't have the power to directly destroy a wall.

This is clearly due to the house being old and dilapidated.

How shameful!
