Chapter 160: Star Luo is Angered
The disaster relief work was on track, Clear Sky, the three upper sects, and the four lower sects had all arrived.
Ironically, Star Luo's assistance arrived after the three upper sects.
After learning that the city lord and the patriarch of the soul master family were killed and the members were imprisoned, the messenger of Star Luo was furious and brought a group of people to find Gu Han and others.
"Gu Han, as the son of the Spirit Hall, you actually did such a cruel thing. You don't take the Star Luo Empire seriously at all!!"
The person who came was a relative of the Dai clan, an 80th-level Soul Douluo with white hair and beard and wrinkled skin.
Behind him were two Soul Saints and five Soul Emperors, plus a hundred fully armed soldiers.
He was very angry. Before, Gu Han and Bibi Dong killed the soul masters in their territory everywhere, after all, they were all evil people.
But this time, they actually killed the clan leaders and city lords of all the soul master families in the city, causing heavy losses to Star Luo City.
How could this be tolerated? Everyone's eyes shifted over, and they had no intention of interrupting, just watching the situation develop quietly.
Without waiting for Gu Han and Bibi Dong to speak, Sarath spoke first: "Prince Dai Guang, what I, the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, did was to eliminate harm for the people and help you Star Luo. Now you are mobilizing so many troops, isn't it repaying kindness with enmity?"
"Humph!"
Dai Guang snorted coldly, and retorted in a deep voice: "You, the Spirit Hall, should provide disaster relief, but what's the point of killing my Star Luo soul masters?"
"Dai Guang, you Star Luo are so shameless. With such a big disaster, you Star Luo are so close but as slow as a turtle. And the Star Luo soul masters you mentioned, not only did not provide disaster relief, but drove the refugees out of the city, deprived them of food and grass, and let them perish on their own. Is this what talents do?"
"We, the Holy Son and Holy Daughter of the Spirit Hall, killed them to comply with the will of the people and protect the foundation of your Star Luo country. Now you want to bite back. Are you trying to use this as an excuse to go to war with the Spirit Hall?"
Gu Han and Bibi Dong looked at Sarath in surprise. They really didn't expect that this guy, who usually didn't say a word, would be so sharp now.
But then Gu Han felt that there was nothing to be surprised about. Sarath would be able to become the Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Hall in the future and occupy an important position. His ability is naturally unquestionable.
"You... you... you don't go too far!"
Dai Guang was speechless, his face twitched wildly, and his raised hands were shaking. For a moment, he didn't know how to refute.
"What's wrong with us?"
"We came all the way from the Spirit Hall to rescue, but now you are pointing fingers at us because of a few rich and unkind soul masters."
Sarath also felt that he was in a state, and he was right. If he didn't stand up, wouldn't it make him seem like he had no sense of existence?
"This is really chilling for all the soul masters in the world."
Sarath was heartbroken and beat his chest, which made the representatives of all the major forces who were watching stunned and amazed.
"You... you..."
"Shut up!"
Sarath shouted angrily.
Dai Guang was stunned again.
"Don't you think Star Luo only considers soul masters as your people, but not civilians?"
"I..."
"What do you mean by you? I have never seen such a shameless person like you!!"
"Ahhh, I am so angry!!!"
Dai Guang was interrupted repeatedly, his eyes widened, his chest heaving violently, and his beard dancing wildly due to his heavy breathing.
At this moment, the representative of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect was no longer silent and said, "Prince Dai Guang, it is not worth it to chill the hearts of the people of the world for a few soul masters who are rich and unkind."
Gu Han sighed at this time, pretending to be sad, and slightly closed his eyes and shook his head: "Alas... There is no need to say more. What we have to do now is not to quarrel here, but to seize the time and work together to restore the people's livelihood in Star Luo City. That is the right thing to do."
"Yes, yes, Prince Dai Guang, you are really, for some damn soul masters, you mobilized a large number of troops against the Holy Son and Holy Daughter of the Spirit Hall. It is really chilling." The elder of the Antelope Sect lowered his head and sighed, with a sad look on his face.
Immediately afterwards, all the sects and families, as if they had discussed it beforehand, spoke out to criticize Dai Guang's actions.
Even Tang Lie of the Clear Sky Sect couldn't help but point at Dai Guang.
"You... you... Puff!!"
Dai Guang had no words to say, and a mouthful of reverse blood spurted out immediately, and the whole person fell down directly.
Fell down just like that?
Gu Han despised him in his heart, thinking that this old man would have a debate with the scholars, but he was so easily offended that he fainted.
"Your Highness!"
The soul masters brought by Dai Guang were shocked and hurriedly supported the other party. They were not stupid. They knew that they were no longer in the right at this time. They could only leave in disgrace after looking at everyone.
"Okay, okay, everyone, go away, go away."
Seeing that the matter was over, the crowd of spectators dispersed and went to work on disaster relief.
In the following time, Gu Han secretly invited Ye Renxin many times, but the other party refused.
But this did not discourage Gu Han, but aroused his rebellious heart. The more you refuse, the more I will pull you into the Spirit Hall.
For this reason, Gu Han did not hesitate to flash away alone, went to the Sunset Forest, and asked Chrysanthemum Douluo for an eight-petal fairy orchid. He was very fast alone and completed a round trip in just four days.
He found Ye Renxin again and extended an invitation.
"Alas... Gu Xiaoyou is really a persistent person."
Ye Renxin couldn't help but sigh with emotion after hearing the other party's straightforward recruitment.
I thought that the other party hadn't come to me in the past few days, and I thought he had given up, but I didn't expect him to come again.
"Gu Xiaoyou, I have already said that I have no intention of joining any force, but I will not be an enemy of any force. I have only one wish in my life — to do something for the sick people in this world."
"Haha, senior, don't rush to refuse — look at what this is?"
Gu Han calmly turned over his hand, and an eight-petal orchid appeared in his palm.
The orchid was snow-white and crystalline, like a peerless flower from a fairyland. The petals shimmered like gems, each one radiant and exuding a faint fragrance. The stem was slender and flexible, like a jade bamboo shoot.
"As a doctor, you should know it."
Gu Han did not directly name the immortal herb. In his opinion, aside from Chrysanthemum Douluo and Yang Wudi, Ye Renxin — who possessed the Nine-Heart Begonia Spirit and had studied herbs in depth — might also recognize it. After all, such immortal herbs were still recorded on the continent. As long as one delved deeply into pharmacology, they could recognize a few of them.
"Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid!"
As expected, Ye Renxin recognized the fairy herb.
He stared at the crystal-clear plant in Gu Han's hand, eyes full of shock.
He asked in disbelief, "Gu Xiaoyou, where did you get this?"
Gu Han smiled faintly. "Just something I happened to acquire. If you are willing to join the Spirit Hall, I'll give it to you as a gift."
"This... you are truly generous..."
Ye Renxin was even more astonished. He didn't expect Gu Han to genuinely offer such a treasure.
But then, Ye Renxin shook his head again. "It's a pity I'm old. If I had obtained it in my youth, I might have had a chance to break through to the realm of Titled Douluo."
Now, Ye Renxin's talent had reached its natural limit. Even with this immortal treasure, it would only strengthen his foundation and raise his spirit power by five or six levels. As for advancing to the Titled Douluo level — that was still out of reach.
"Gu Xiaoyou, as I said, I won't join any forces — and that won't change."
"But my descendants can."
Gu Han heard this and smiled. Ye Lingling hadn't been born yet, but her birth would naturally come, and the Ye Family's legacy would not be broken.
That little girl had extraordinary talent. More importantly, his real goal in winning over Ye Renxin — was Ye Lingling.
After all, the youth are the future.
If the Spirit Hall had a Nine-Heart Begonia user at the Titled Douluo level in the future, what a sight that would be.
"Haha, since you've made your decision, I won't try to persuade you again."
"I'll leave this immortal herb for your descendants — for the next child who awakens the Nine-Heart Begonia Martial Spirit."
"Haha, then I will thank you, Gu Xiaoyou, on behalf of my unborn descendants."
Ye Renxin smiled, his eyes filled with hope. Perhaps one day, there truly would be a Titled Douluo with the Nine-Heart Begonia Spirit.
Breaking the record of the continent — becoming the first Titled Douluo from the auxiliary system in the history of the continent.
"You can keep the immortal herb for yourself, Gu Xiaoyou. If my descendants refuse, please don't make things difficult for me."
"Senior, what are you saying? Naturally, I would never do something so dishonorable."
Gu Han nodded slightly. He had full confidence that he could make Ye Lingling willingly join the Spirit Hall.
"By the way, senior, take this. In the future, if you travel the continent and encounter difficulties or need anything, you can seek help from the local Spirit Hall."
Gu Han tossed over a token — his exclusive one — the Holy Son Token.
Over the past few months, he had already understood Ye Renxin's character well. The old man was definitely not the type to brandish a token and show off like Yu Xiaogang.
As for what to do if he gave it away?
Simple. He could just go back and get another one.
Besides, he still had the Pope's Decree and the Inspector's Order in his possession. Getting another token was hardly a problem.
"If you refuse this, you'd be looking down on me."
Ye Renxin was slightly stunned, then chuckled as he stroked his beard. "Haha, you are truly an interesting young man, Gu Xiaoyou."
"Haha, I admire you greatly, and I simply want to do my part. After all, making things convenient for you is making things convenient for the thousands of civilians who can't afford treatment."
Although it was a pity that Ye Renxin wouldn't join the Spirit Hall, the result was still satisfactory.
In the months that followed, the reconstruction of Star Luo City finally came to an end.
Though Qian Xunji was thousands of miles away, he was fully informed of everything that had transpired. He dispatched a Soul Douluo, three Soul Saints, and a large number of Spirit Masters — including Great Spirit Masters and Spirit Lords — in total two to three hundred people, to stabilize and maintain operations for the Spirit Hall in the region.
This was also to prevent the local Spirit Masters from taking revenge on the innocent civilians after Gu Han and the others left.
After all, Gu Han had killed many. Even if the survivors had done no evil, things are never absolute. Who could guarantee that they wouldn't bear twisted grudges?
If they found themselves unable to challenge the Spirit Hall, they might turn and vent their anger on powerless civilians instead.
