Major Families Secretly Sell Off Assets and Prepare to Flee. The Speed Clan's Crucial Decision: Who Would Get the Immortal Herb?
[This concludes today's live stream. We will resume tomorrow morning, and we will be giving away more Lucky Viewer next time.]
After a line of subtitles and narration appeared on the screen, it went dark.
However, the overhang did not disappear, Danmu function could still be used.
Danmu: [Feng Xiaotian: Perfect timing! I've been meditating on my Soul Power while speaking on the sky for a whole day, I was almost exhausted! Time to rest tonight, and continue the battle tomorrow.]
[Feng Yu: You disgraceful piece of trash, get back to where you were!]
Within the territory of the Wind Clan.
Feng Yu sat in the main seat of the council hall, frowning as he asked, "Clan Elder, the situation on the Douluo Continent is constantly changing. Our Wind Clan and Godwind Academy... now it's the Four Elements Academy. We absolutely cannot remain unaffected. We must make preparations as soon as possible."
Everyone's expression was solemn.
The middle-aged beauty, Feng Qingsui, smiled and said, "What's there to hesitate about? If Tang San becomes a god in the future, will he spare our Wind Clan? So do we have any other choice but to join forces with the Spirit Hall to stop Tang San from becoming a god!"
Everyone agreed.
An Clan Elder frowned and said, "However, the Wind Clan's roots are within the Heaven Dou Empire. A safe evacuation from the Heaven Dou Empire... I'm afraid it won't be easy."
Feng Yu frowned, feeling that what the Clan Elder said made sense.
After a moment's hesitation, Feng Yu spoke, "I understand what everyone means. It seems our Wind Clan truly has no other choice! The continent is in turmoil, and only if the Spirit Hall successfully unifies the continent will we have a chance."
After a pause, Feng Yu continued, "I will secretly contact the other families of the Four Elements Academy to form a united front. For now, we'll hold back! However, everyone should secretly tighten their resources and sell off some assets discreetly, avoiding any major disturbances."
"Clan leader, do not make contact with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon behind the Thunderclap Academy."
"I know that."
At the same time, not only the Wind Clan, but all the well-known families on the Douluo Continent were discussing related matters.
What will become of the family's future? Tang San doesn't seem to be the right choice.
Even Tang San's maternal uncle's family, the Speed Clan, were contemplating whether to choose the Two Great Empires and Tang San, or the Spirit Hall.
In the Speed Clan land, Bai He shielded his granddaughter behind him and said in a deep voice, "Clan Elder, the Immortal Herb was given to her by Tianmu, and it rightfully belongs to her. Do you all have any objections?"
The allure of the Immortal Herb was too great; the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng was out of the question, as it was not suitable for them, and attempting to obtain it might even lead to their deaths.
However! The name "Clear Wind Swallowtail Flower" is very suitable for the Martial Soul of the Speed Clan: the Sharp-tailed Swift.
The temptation of that elusive path to godhood that Tang Si spoke of was too great; several Clan Elder were willing to take the plunge, or perhaps for the sake of their descendants.
The atmosphere within the clan became increasingly tense.
Bai Chenxiang had never seen the Clan Elder stare at her like she was a piece of fat meat before. Feeling a little nervous, she gripped the Immortal Herb in her hand even tighter.
Buzz!
Bai He exuded his Soul Douluo aura and said in a deep voice, "Our Speed Clan is currently facing a life-or-death crisis. Do you still want to fight amongst yourselves?"
"Furthermore! Don't you all look at your age? Your talent and vitality have long since withered away. What use would you be even if you had Immortal Herb? Besides, Chenxiang is the most talented among the younger generation of our clan, without exception! Needless to say, this Immortal Herb herb can only belong to Chenxiang!"
"Finally, I'll remind you one last time: tonight is a critical moment for the survival of our clan! Also, tonight, regardless of whether the Spirit Hall or the Clear Sky Sect arrives first, we will choose the first to arrive! Disperse, everyone, and prepare yourselves."
Some Clan Elder echoed and agreed with Bai He's opinion, while a few others whispered amongst themselves. But in the end, they all slowly dispersed.
Seeing this, Bai He breathed a sigh of relief and then said to his granddaughter, "Chenxiang, take the Immortal Herb now, and Grandpa will protect you."
"Grandpa, will eating the Immortal Herb bring disaster to the family?"
Bai He shook his head and said, "Don't worry, we still have a Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng. Exchanging this Immortal Herb for peace should be enough."
"But... the Clear Sky Sect wants us to give them both of the Immortal Herb."
Upon hearing this, Bai He frowned, staring intently at Bai Chenxiang, and asked, "Chenxiang, what do you think of the Clear Sky Sect?"
"The Clear Sky Sect? The Clear Sky Sect is nothing but a bunch of cowardly bullies! Moreover, they don't even treat us as human beings; they only see us as vassals they can discard at any time."
"Hmm, don't overthink it. Let's hurry up and refine the Immortal Herb; that's the most important thing right now."
Bai He didn't say anything else. But the serious look in his eyes suddenly disappeared, replaced by a look of relief.
It turns out he was terrified that his granddaughter was brainless.
Night fell quietly.
The night is quiet tonight, Silvis City has been reinforced with more than three times its usual military strength.
Swoosh~ Swoosh~ Swoosh~~
Black figures moved swiftly through the night, ignored by the city's general, who shouted, "Defend the city gates! Anyone who dares to breach them will be killed on sight!"
They're just gatekeepers; their job is to keep the gate standing. As for those who climb over the wall, that's none of their business.
late at night.
Before Bai Chenxiang could fully refine the Immortal Herb, the Bai He guarding him suddenly opened its eyes and exclaimed, "They've arrived!"
Swoosh~~
Bai He's speed is no exaggeration; the speed he unleashed was even faster than Tang Si's [Shave], leaving almost no afterimage.
The Bai He disappeared a second ago, and then reappeared on the rooftop.
At this moment, the entire clan was deathly silent.
No one emerged from the darkness, but they were all secretly circulating their Soul Power, watching the situation unfold tonight.
Above the clan's territory, a dark figure slowly stopped twenty meters away from the Bai He, standing in mid-air, gazing at it from afar.
Bai He cupped his hands and said, "May I ask where you are from, senior? And how should I address you?"
"The Second Worship of the Spirit Hall, Golden Crocodile."
"So you are Senior Golden Crocodile Douluo, my apologies for my overreaction."
Bai He cupped his hands in greeting, thinking to himself, "[It seems I have no choice but to choose the Spirit Hall! As for the Clear Sky Sect... sigh~ I guess I have to break with them! Perfect, it'll also give Yang Wudi some closure.]"
Yang Wudi broke with the Clear Sky Sect because of the Immortal Herb of their Speed Clan. Bai He didn't know how he would explain to Yang Wudi if the Clear Sky Sect came first.
Compared to his relationship with the Clear Sky Sect, he valued his brotherhood with Yang Wudi more.
Furthermore, Tang San's actions and personality are indeed not very likable, Bai He was worried that their Speed Clan might inadvertently find themselves on a path to death.
Before Golden Crocodile Douluo could speak, Bai He continued, "My Speed Clan has two requests."
"Hmm? That's easy. As long as it's not excessive, I'll agree on behalf of the Spirit Hall."
"First, my granddaughter Bai Chenxiang has already consumed and refined the Clear Wind Swallowtail Flower. I need the Spirit Hall to ensure her safety."
"She's already eaten a Immortal Herb? Sigh~" Golden Crocodile said with some regret, "Bai Chenxiang needs to join my Spirit Hall. I can guarantee her safety!"
"This... is acceptable." Bai He also took a step back; he could understand Golden Crocodile's thoughts.
Putting himself in their shoes, he wouldn't want an opposing force to have a genius with unlimited potential, unless he could turn that genius into one of his own.
Golden Crocodile Douluo was also overjoyed. Bai Chenxiang had joined the Spirit Hall, so how far away was the Speed Clan? You must know that the Spirit Hall had inflicted considerable damage on the Speed Clan back then.
This situation has exceeded Golden Crocodile Douluo's expectations.
"Secondly, too many powerful individuals are eyeing the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng. If we give it to you directly, there's no guarantee that no one will continue to cause us trouble."
"This is easy to handle."
After saying that, Golden Crocodile Douluo sent a Danmu directly to the sky.
Danmu: [Second Worship the Spirit Hall: I have taken both of the Speed Clan's Immortal Herb. If anyone dares to continue causing trouble for the Speed Clan Speed Clan, I will personally go to their home and demand an explanation!]
Seeing this, the Bai He was relieved.
Golden Crocodile Douluo has spoken before the entire continent. Anyone who dares to offend him is disrespecting him. Moreover, Golden Crocodile Douluo Golden Crocodile Douluo taken the blame for the second Immortal Herb. This outcome completely exceeded Bai He's expectations.
