Background / History
Bai He is Tang Hao’s uncle, making him Tang San’s great-uncle and Tang Chuan’s granduncle by blood. He leads the Speed Clan, one of the Four Great Clans formerly tied to the Clear Sky Sect. The clans suffered heavy losses under Spirit Hall while the Clear Sky Sect failed to help them 160 173.
White World
After seeing Tang Chuan’s strength and his rejection of Tang Hao and the Clear Sky Sect, Bai He seeks refuge with him. He brings Yang Wudi and Niu Gao, though their attempt to persuade Tai Tan to join them fails. Tang Chuan accepts the clans into the newly established Qingdi Sect 159 160. In the comparison footage of an alternative course of events, Bai He offers Tang Chuan the Speed Clan’s heirloom, the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng. Tang Chuan reciprocates with a wind-attribute spirit medicine, which Bai He gives to Bai Chenxiang; it evolves her martial soul into the Wind Spirit Swift. Bai He subsequently helps bring the Defense and Breaking Clans to Tang Chuan 191 192 194.
Black World
In the Black World’s comparison footage, Bai He meets Tang San at a gathering of the Four Great Clans. Tang San’s hidden weapons appeal to the Speed Clan, whose speed-type soul masters lack attack power. Bai He agrees to join the Tang Sect if the Breaking Clan joins, then gives Tang San the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng to help win over Yang Wudi 173. Watching these events, Bai He grows disappointed that Tang San accepts the clan treasure without offering the Speed Clan a return gift despite possessing valuable medicines 174 192. Later footage shows Bai He dying alongside Tai Tan, Yang Wudi, and Niu Gao while pursuing Qian Renxue and the remaining Spirit Hall members 494.

Abilities & Skills
Speed-type martial soul

- He uses an eighth spirit skill during a speed contest with Tang San; the account notes that this skill is not speed-related 173.
- After evolving into the Wind-Riding Dragon Swallow, his martial soul grants greater speed and stronger physical enhancement through its Martial Soul Avatar, as well as improved control over wind and a faint dragon pressure 216.
Items
- Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng — the Speed Clan’s ancestral treasure. Bai He offers it to Tang San in the Black World’s comparison footage and to Tang Chuan in the White World’s footage 173 191.
- Wind-Walking Flower — a wind-attribute medicine Tang Chuan gives in return for Bai He’s offer. Bai He passes it to Bai Chenxiang rather than using it himself 192.
Relationships
- Bai Chenxiang — his granddaughter. Bai He gives her the Wind-Walking Flower because he believes her youth gives her greater potential to benefit from it 173 192.
- Tang Chuan — his granduncle–grandnephew connection becomes a sect allegiance in the White World. Bai He respects Tang Chuan’s leadership and judgment 160 192 303.
- Tang San — his great-nephew in the Black World. Bai He supports him with the Speed Clan’s heirloom in the comparison footage, but becomes disillusioned while watching how that gift is treated 173 174.

- Tai Tan — fellow head of one of the Four Great Clans who refuses Bai He’s invitation to join Tang Chuan because of his loyalty to Tang Hao 159.
