Niu Gao and the others sat down, poured some tea, and Bai He noticed something off about the atmosphere.
"Is something going on with you two? Why the frowning?"
Niu Gao said, "Let me be direct, from now on we won't be able to help you anymore."
Bai He was surprised; he came here seeking help. Their sect was not doing well, and the family members were all proud, believing their Martial Souls to be noble. Coming here was to get help from three clans, mutual aid, which was also the reason for the four clans meeting.
Bai He asked, "Are you facing some difficulties?"
Niu Gao shook his head, "It's not difficulties, but good news."
Bai He replied with some annoyance, "Good news and still can't help? If you had difficulties, I would help. Without your support, the Agile Race wouldn't exist. I've always wanted to help you, but you really didn't face any hardships?"
Titan laughed, "Old Bai, want to help us? Then promise us one thing."
Bai He straightforwardly said, "What is it? Just say it."
Titan said bluntly, "We've all joined the Tang Sect, and he is the Sect Leader."
Bai He was shocked; so young and already a Sect Leader, even getting the Yu and Li families to join, what capabilities does he have?
Tang San took out the Zhuge Divine Crossbow from the Ruyi Hundred Treasures Pouch and began the introduction.
"This is the Zhuge Divine Crossbow, it contains forty-eight crossbow arrows made of refined iron, shooting sixteen at a time, powerful enough to break through under level forty Defense Soul Skills, and the arrows are highly poisonous. If used in a surprise attack, even a level fifty or sixty Soul Master would be left in dire straits. The specialty of the Tang Sect is hidden weapons, primarily crafting them, and hidden weapons are most suitable for your Agile Race, with your speed and these hidden weapons, both your clan's power and the hidden weapons will greatly increase."
Tang San's words made Bai He intrigued and amazed.
Starting the demonstration, Bai He personally defended, feeling pain, confirming it was real, and upon learning this was only a low-level hidden weapon, he was greatly shocked, as there were even more powerful hidden weapons. But with more powerful hidden weapons, the crafting materials were harder to find, and required more advanced craftsmanship, making the price extremely high.
Bai He was excited, no wonder the two clans joined; he eagerly said, "I want to buy two hundred sets of Zhuge Divine Crossbows. How much in total?"
Tang San said, "I'll give it to you at cost price, a total of twenty thousand Gold Soul Coins."
Immediately, Bai He's expression changed drastically. Hearing the cost price, he thought it was good, but upon hearing twenty thousand, he was stunned.
"Twenty thousand Gold Soul Coins? You're not joking?"
Bai He was somewhat annoyed.
Bai Shenxiang's pretty eyes widened, "That's a rip-off."
The combined wealth of their entire clan wouldn't come close to this amount.
Tang San said, "That is already the cost price, the Seven Treasure Glaze Sect buys at one hundred and fifty Gold Soul Coins. A single Zhuge Divine Crossbow is equivalent to the strength of a level forty Soul Sect, and with your cooperation, I believe it can kill a level fifty or sixty."
Bai He frowned, pondering, and indeed it wasn't expensive, and he grew more interested.
Tang San said, "Of course, if you join the Tang Sect, then we will jointly fund the manufacturing, with no distinction between yours and mine."
Bai He was tempted.
Titan said, "Join us, once the Agile Race joins, only the Destruction Race is left."
Niu Gao reminded, "However, just to be clear, he is Tang Hao's son, named Tang San."
Upon hearing this, Bai He's emotions mirrored Niu Gao's earlier, also angered.
Understanding why Niu Gao joined, he gradually calmed down.
Bai He looked at Ye Yu and Tang San, saying, "How about this, which of you two is the strongest? Compete with my granddaughter; if you can touch my granddaughter once within the time of one incense stick burning, you win, and the grievance with your father is written off, and I'll consider joining."
Niu Gao said, "Choose Tang San."
Titan agreed, "Yes."
Bai He asked, "Tang San is the strongest?"
"No, but I suggest you choose Tang San nonetheless."
Recalling the previous situation, Niu Gao felt quite awkward.
Bai He looked at Ye Yu, asking, "Who is this young man?"
"My name is Ye Yu."
Upon hearing, Bai He was stunned, Ye Yu?
"I heard you turned the tide in the Soul Hunting Operation, killing a Titled Douluo. Is that true?"
Ye Yu nodded, "Yes, it's true, but that Titled Douluo was countered by me."
Hearing this, Bai He and Bai Shenxiang were in disbelief, having killed a Titled Douluo, just how strong was Ye Yu?
Bai Shenxiang's figure flashed outside the hall, pointing at Ye Yu, "I choose him."
Bai He was amazed, and Niu Gao was also surprised, but it was fine, this way was sure to lose.
Bai Shenxiang said proudly, "We excel at speed, not combat, so touching me is uncertain who will win or lose."
Niu Gao and Titan understood, the Agile Race, except for Bai He, all were very arrogant.
Bai He, to be safe, said, "How about this, within the time of one incense stick burning, if you can touch my granddaughter ten times, you win; miss once, and you lose."
Hearing this, Bai Shenxiang was displeased.
"Grandpa, you underestimate me, don't you?"
Bai He smiled wryly, Niu Gao said, "You guys don't know yet, do you? The nine core sects, Xiangjia among them, prepared to join the Martial Soul Hall have been wiped out, right?"
Bai He and Bai Shenxiang were shocked, who did it?
This was clearly good news, as they didn't like the Martial Soul Hall.
Niu Gao said, "Ye Yu did it alone."
Niu Gao's words once again left them in disbelief, more absurd than being scared to death by an ant.
"It's true, no need to doubt, so, still want to continue? Just admit defeat."
After the initial shock, Bai Shenxiang said, "Then ten times it is; he may be strong, but no one can compare to the speed of the Agile Race."
Bai Shenxiang looked at Ye Yu, "Are you going to do it?"
Ye Yu glanced at Bai He, thinking to himself, "You're giving me the chance to take advantage of your granddaughter for free? Once would be enough, but ten times?"
Ye Yu looked at Bai Shenxiang's outfit, because here it was spring all year, Bai Shenxiang was dressed lightly, draped in sheer white gauze, touching her was little different from touching bare skin.
Ye Yu said, "Men and women shouldn't be in contact, let alone me touching you, that wouldn't be good for you. You touch me; one touch counts as my loss."
Hearing this, Bai Shenxiang was quite angry, truly feeling underestimated, her Martial Soul was the Sharp-tailed Rain Swallow, the fastest Beast Martial Soul, which made her very proud, feeling Ye Yu's words belittled her.
"It's settled; you touch me ten times, and I lose. Of course, I won't let you touch me even once!" Bai Shenxiang's beautiful eyes were firm.
Ye Yu sighed helplessly, "Alright, just don't get angry later."
"I won't!"
Bai Shenxiang released her Martial Soul and was preparing to be serious, letting Ye Yu know just how fast she was, but in an instant Ye Yu disappeared from her sight, and the next second, her body stiffened.
Ye Yu reappeared behind her, lightly placing his right hand on her shoulder.
Bai Shenxiang was astonished, too shock-stricken to care about Ye Yu's hand on her shoulder.
"How could this be..."
Ye Yu's hand withdrew as he quickly moved back, his palm lingering with a faint fragrance.
Bai He was even more stunned; just now, even he could barely catch a trace, and without full preparation, he would find it hard to evade.
Bai Shenxiang gritted her teeth, her four Soul Rings rotating, instantly turning into a white blur, rapidly flashing around.
Tang San was amazed, witnessing the speed of the Agile Race, faster than he imagined, needing to focus fully to barely track it.
Bai Shenxiang was fast, with a nimble and changeable figure.
Bai He thought it would be difficult for Ye Yu to touch her ten times, as his granddaughter was excellent, already forty-three at seventeen, confident she could challenge for Titled Douluo in the future.
However, Ye Yu was faster, shocking Bai He; Ye Yu hadn't even released his Martial Soul, nor did any Soul Bones appear, meaning he was solely relying on his own speed!
Quickly, Bai Shenxiang was touched five times, her face reddening, feeling regret inwardly.
Bai Shenxiang was both ashamed and hit hard, her third Soul Ring shining, wings sprouting from her back as she soared into the air.
Bai Shenxiang breathed a sigh of relief upon reaching the high sky, as long as she stayed in the air until the incense burned out, she would win, unless Ye Yu could also fly, which she thought impossible, as she knew Ye Yu's Martial Soul was a Support Type.
