He had already let go!
Even before the battle started, he had already anticipated that this was the most likely outcome.
After all.
His opponent was the Spirit Hall, which looked down upon the entire continent.
Even if it wasn't a major figure from the Spirit Hall who took action.
The affiliated clans under it were no weaker than their Speed Clan.
Being able to accomplish this much.
The Clan Leader Bai He had truly tried his best.
He had not let down the ancestors of the Speed Clan.
The Clan Leader Bai He was sacrificing himself standing up!
He used his last bit of strength to raise the corners of his mouth upwards.
He seemed to see the past glory of the Speed Clan.
The images of those ancestors flying freely in the sky, as fast as lightning, gradually gathered in his heart, forming a warm and steadfast strength.
And also his daughter, Bai Chenxiang.
He didn't know how she was doing on the road to subjugate Zhuge Lan.
Whether she had defeated him and obtained the treasure, or been defeated by Zhuge Lan.
The Clan Leader Bai He was also completely unaware.
He could only silently pray—
Xiang'er ah!
The survivors of the Speed Clan will rely on you in the future...
In that deep and quiet forest, the sunlight struggled to penetrate through the layers of overlapping branches and leaves, scattering down, forming dappled and swaying shadows.
The wind also quietly stopped, as if even the air had solidified, and the leaves no longer rustled. The entire forest fell into an eerie silence.
The Clan Leader Bai He at the bottom of the giant pit.
Fresh blood had dyed his originally solemn white robe red.
His eyes were closed peacefully.
The corners of his mouth slightly upturned in a relieved smile.
Like a great giant.
Calmly welcoming the arrival of death.
As the Spirit Hall Branch Hall Master lightly pushed his palm.
That black ball, condensed from spirit power, attacked the Clan Leader Bai He like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins.
...
After a long while.
In the forest.
There was still silence...
The sound of a bird flying through the forest, its wings flapping the air, could be heard clearly.
The sound of the black ball exploding, which should have arrived.
Did not appear at this moment.
The Clan Leader Bai He had his eyes closed and didn't see what had happened.
But the Spirit Hall Branch Hall Master in the air.
Saw everything clearly!
He widened his eyes, looking at everything in front of him with an expression of disbelief—
Just as the black ball was about to hit the Clan Leader Bai He.
A huge oval halo appeared half a meter directly above the deep pit where the Clan Leader Bai He was located, like a huge ancient compass.
The edge of the halo was surrounded by many golden lightning bolts, like the patterns on a compass.
Inside the halo.
Many blue and white clouds and smoke intertwined.
Flowing slowly, like a fairyland.
The moment the black ball came into contact with the halo.
The blue and white smoke immediately enveloped the entire black ball, causing it to lose its original color.
And when this blue and white ball entered the halo.
It disappeared without a trace, and did not explode due to external force.
It just disappeared silently like this?
And that huge oval halo.
After absorbing the black ball.
It also slowly shrank, eventually turning into a small spot of light.
And disappeared together.
The Branch Hall Master stood there blankly.
He was stunned.
How could his attack just disappear under his very eyes?
He had traveled the Douluo Continent for many years.
And had never seen such a strange spirit ability.
The Clan Leader Bai He, who was originally prepared to welcome death.
Discovered that after a long time.
Death had not come to find him.
Filled with doubt.
The Clan Leader Bai He laboriously opened his eyes.
He discovered that the scene in front of him was exactly the same as what he had seen before.
Only the spirit power black ball, which should have taken his life, was nowhere to be seen at this time.
Before the Clan Leader Bai He could figure out the doubts in his heart.
Suddenly.
A large face stretched out from the ground into the pit.
The Clan Leader Bai He saw this sudden, young, and handsome face.
And couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart...
This face was none other than Zhuge Lan, who appeared on the covers of various villainous characters!
At this time, Zhuge Lan's eyes were wide open, observing everything in the pit.
The Clan Leader Bai He felt very uneasy and fearful in his heart.
But with his severely injured body, he couldn't react in any way.
He could only weakly look at Zhuge Lan.
"Sorry."
"Father-in-law! I'm late!"
Clan Leader Bai He: I didn't have much life left to linger on.
Did you want to make me pass away on the spot by suddenly doing this...
"Dad!"
Not long after Zhuge Lan appeared.
Bai Chenxiang also arrived at the front of the deep pit.
Seeing her father's entire body stained red with blood.
Gasping for breath to maintain his breathing.
The tears in Bai Chenxiang's eyes couldn't stop pouring out.
She shouted as hard as she could.
Seeing his daughter also appear in front of him.
The Clan Leader Bai He couldn't help but reveal a gratified smile.
He couldn't help but guess:
Could it be that I'm already dead?
Otherwise, how could my daughter and that evil ghost Zhuge Lan appear at the same time?
What did Zhuge Lan call me just now?
Father... Father-in-law?
It must be an illusion, I must have gone far away...
Thinking this, the Clan Leader Bai He also used up his last bit of strength.
And fell into a coma.
Zhuge Lan picked up the Clan Leader Bai He from the deep pit.
Sensing the Clan Leader Bai He's entire body with his hands.
Then he smiled and said to Bai Chenxiang, who was anxious beside him:
"Don't worry! Father-in-law has a long life!"
Hearing Zhuge Lan's affirmative answer.
Bai Chenxiang's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down.
Zhuge Lan handed the Clan Leader Bai He to Bai Chenxiang.
And took out the healing soul tool that had originally healed her from his arms and handed it to her.
"Take your father back to the city to heal."
"Leave the rest to me and Dugu Bo."
Hearing Zhuge Lan's magnetic and gentle voice saying to her ear.
Bai Chenxiang nodded lightly.
As if a huge sense of security enveloped her, protecting her.
She looked at the man in front of her with deep affection.
His tall and straight figure was like an indestructible mountain, standing firmly between heaven and earth.
In his deep eyes, there was unparalleled firmness and gentle tenderness, like warm sunshine, shining into her heart bit by bit, dispelling the haze that had been accumulating for a long time.
Bai Chenxiang's eyes were full of determination, and she completely trusted Zhuge Lan in her heart.
This trust was unwavering and unreserved.
In her heart. It seemed that as long as Zhuge Lan was there, it was like having the most solid support. All difficulties could be solved easily.
On the other side.
The Spirit Hall Branch Hall Master was also looking at the man next to the deep pit with a shocked expression.
Zhuge Lan?
Looking at that familiar yet unfamiliar face, the Branch Hall Master's pupils gradually dilated.
After all, Zhuge Lan's face had a considerable presence on the posters of various villains.
But he was indeed seeing him in person for the first time.
At this time, the Branch Hall Master had gone from being confident and composed when he first arrived to being panicked and at a loss now.
Such a figure was someone that even those in the main hall of the Spirit Hall were wary of...
