"Greetings, Howling Sky Crown!" Dugu Feng bowed respectfully.
Tang Xiao smiled politely. "So this is the Kirin child of the Dugu Family, the model for the younger generation of the Heaven Dou Empire. Xiao San and the others are far inferior compared to you!"
Tang Xiao didn't hesitate with his praise. Not only was it out of respect for Ning Fengzhi, but more importantly, Dugu Feng had already reached Soul King level. A sixteen-year-old Soul King was even more talented than he and his brother had been. He deserved this praise.
"Thank you, Howling Sky Crown. When Your Excellency traveled across the continent in training, you were the leader among young Soul Masters. I've always looked up to you as my role model!" Dugu Feng smiled slightly.
After the exchange of pleasantries, the two stopped conversing.
Ning Fengzhi began treating Tang Hao and Tang San.
Tang San's face was pale, his eyes gloomy, occasionally flashing with a cold light that made people shudder. Anyone who suffered such consecutive blows would undergo a drastic change in personality.
As for Tang Hao, his gaze seemed somewhat vacant - he had truly become completely crippled, unable to utilize even the slightest bit of Soul Power anymore. For the once-renowned Haotian Douluo, this was a devastating blow.
Ning Fengzhi released his Martial Soul Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and began treating the two. Seven healing energies merged into their bodies, restoring their injuries.
Everyone else waited patiently.
Just then, Dugu Feng detected a Soul Douluo approaching rapidly, moving so fast they appeared like a white shadow. He remained calm, reasoning that if he could sense it, Tang Xiao and Sword Douluo must have noticed as well.
Moments later, the Soul Douluo arrived before them. The person was tall and slender with snow-white hair, wearing white martial attire, appearing quite advanced in age.
Could this be Bai He from the Min Clan? With such speed and that slender build, it was highly likely him.
As he appeared, Tang Xiao's eyes froze, looking somewhat uncomfortable. "Uncle!"
This address made everyone around understand the newcomer's identity - Bai He, clan leader of the Min Clan.
Bai He ignored Tang Xiao and immediately focused on Tang Hao and Tang San.
"This must be Xiao San!" he said, his voice trembling as he approached Tang San.
"Uncle, Xiao San is injured. Ning Zongzhu is currently treating him!" Tang Xiao continued.
This was his first time seeing Bai He since the Clear Sky Sect had closed its gates. He didn't understand why his uncle had suddenly appeared.
Back then, the Clear Sky Sect had voluntarily abandoned the Four Single Attribute Clans. They could accept abandoning the other clans - the Destruction Clan, Defense Clan, and Li Clan. But the Min Clan was related to them by blood, making Tang Xiao deeply ashamed.
"Can the Clear Sky Sect no longer even protect its own direct descendants? Even its sect geniuses are being bullied. Having such talent, instead of cultivating properly within the sect, you parade around recklessly. This is utterly irresponsible!"
Bai He glared at Tang Xiao and Tang Hao, shouting angrily.
Tang Hao, who was being treated, lowered his head in dejection. He couldn't even offer a rebuttal.
Bai He walked to Tang Hao's side, grasped his hand, and used his Soul Power to sense Tang Hao's condition. Then he moved to Tang San's side and did the same.
"Xiao San, this is your granduncle!" Tang Hao introduced.
"Granduncle!" Tang San addressed him, not resisting and allowing Bai He to examine his internal Soul Power.
After examining, Bai He stood up with an unpleasant expression.
"If the Clear Sky Sect had prospered, I, Bai He, would never have returned to the Clear Sky Sect in this lifetime.
But seeing Hao'er and Xiao San bullied like this, I can't rest easy if I don't help!"
Bai He's words instantly made Tang Xiao and Tang Hao's eyes redden.
After all, they were family.
"Uncle, the sect has wronged you!" Tang Xiao said with reddened eyes.
Dugu Feng observed this scene and immediately formed a speculation.
How could Bai He help?
Could it be that he came to deliver the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng?
Sure enough, Bai He's next action confirmed Dugu Feng's suspicion.
Bai He took out a box from his Soul Tool. The box was pure white, about one and a half feet long and half a foot wide.
It was a Jade Box carved from mutton-fat jade.
His movement attracted everyone's attention.
Without concern for being seen by those around, Bai He directly opened the Jade Box.
A refreshing, pleasant fragrance wafted out.
"Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng!"
"Such a large Ginseng!"
"Dragon Ginseng!"
Several exclamations came from the surroundings.
The Ginseng inside the Jade Box resembled a miniature human body, emitting a crystalline blood-red glow. The surface of the Ginseng featured a five-clawed giant dragon.
The exquisite appearance of the Ginseng and its captivating fragrance indicated it was no ordinary item.
"This is a Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng I obtained by chance. It's very suitable for Xiao San and will definitely compensate for the vitality he lost.
Moreover, the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng contains immense energy. Hao'er can also consume some, though I'm not sure if it will help with his injuries!"
Bai He smiled slightly.
Tang San's gloomy expression completely changed. He swallowed hard, his eyes filled with intense enthusiasm.
He had recognized it as the emperor among Ginseng, the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, naturally of the eighth grade and at least over five thousand years old.
Such a precious medicinal herb couldn't be bought with money.
This instantly made Tang San feel a sense of closeness toward this grand-uncle.
"Uncle..."
Tang Hao could no longer care about being treated and rushed over, embracing Bai He and weeping bitterly.
He had suffered too much injustice!
Since reaching the Soul Saint level and going out to train with his elder brother, his life had never been smooth again.
Especially in recent years - it had been too miserable!
Dugu Feng was also stunned, and Ning Rongrong beside him was equally dumbfounded.
This was the Haotian Douluo, actually crying from grievance.
Bai He patted Tang Hao's shoulder, tears streaming down his face as well.
After a while, everyone calmed down.
"This medicinal herb is precious, so let's use it now. Fortunately, Ning Zongzhu is also here. Under Ning Zongzhu's treatment, the medicinal efficacy will be better absorbed!"
Bai He said.
Tang Hao nodded, "I don't need such a precious medicinal herb. Let Xiao San use all of it!"
"Father, you should absorb some too. Grand-uncle just said that my body can't withstand the full medicinal power. Just one-third of the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng is enough to completely heal my injuries!"
Tang San quickly interjected.
Only then did Tang Hao stop declining, but he still insisted that Tang San absorb first.
Tang San took out a jade knife and directly cut off one-third of the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng.
Then he consumed it without hesitation.
The medicinal effect of the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng was quite potent, but Ning Fengzhi was nearby.
With Ning Fengzhi's healing power to accelerate his absorption, he dared to consume it all at once.
Dugu Feng watched everything from the side.
He couldn't help feeling that something was amiss.
Bai He had actually arrived in Heaven Dou City so quickly, bringing warmth at such a timely moment. It had only been three days since the great battle in Sunset Forest.
He remembered there was quite some distance between the city where the Min Clan resided and Heaven Dou City.
After arriving here and seeing the extent of Tang Hao and Tang San's injuries, Bai He showed no surprise at all.
As if he had known all along.
How did he know?
