Chapter 351 The Min Clan, White Agarwood
The headquarters of the Spirit Hall, Spirit City, is a city built around a mountain, located at the border of the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire, straddling the very center of the two empires.
Over a period of more than 10,000 years.
The Spirit Hall, together with the Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empires, formed a tripartite balance of power on the Douluo Continent.
The existence of the Spirit Hall is a deterrent to both empires.
Every time a war breaks out between the two great empires, the opinion of the Spirit Hall must be taken into account.
After all, the Spirit Hall controls almost 70% of the Spirit Masters' power on the entire continent. This power is so immense that the Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empires have always been wary of it and dared not act too recklessly.
It was precisely because of the deterrent effect of the Spirit Hall.
Despite annual skirmishes along the border between the two great empires of Tian Dou and Xing Luo, neither dared to escalate the war or spread its flames to the entire Douluo Continent.
As a result, neither of the two empires could do anything to the other, nor could either annex the other.
Ultimately, they could only coexist peacefully and maintain a relatively calm situation.
The geographical location of Wuhun City is of paramount importance, but this has also made it a thorn in the side of both the Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empires.
However, the Spirit Hall is simply too powerful.
Neither of the two empires could do anything about the city, and neither dared to provoke it. They could only pretend not to see it and let it continue to stand between the two empires.
Spirit City is a city built entirely with funds funded by the Spirit Hall.
Its area is actually not very large.
Compared to a massive city like Heaven Dou City, Spirit City is much smaller, less than one-tenth the size of Heaven Dou City.
Even so, the awe-inspiring power of Wuhun City is undeniable.
The entire Wuhun City was built according to the style of a capital city.
Its city walls are majestic and towering, built of granite, with a thickness of over thirty meters and a height of over one hundred meters.
The patrol personnel on the city wall were all Soul Masters, wearing the exclusive uniforms of the Spirit Hall.
Almost everyone in Wuhun City is a Soul Master, and all of them are at least Great Soul Masters.
Soul Masters below the rank of Great Soul Master, as well as ordinary people, are not allowed to enter Spirit City except under special circumstances.
Unlike other cities.
The outline of Wuhun City is not quadrilateral, but hexagonal, hence it has six city walls.
On each side of the city wall, there is a huge relief carving, exactly the same as the six patterns on the Spirit Hall token—
A chrysanthemum, a ghostly figure, a crown, a hammer, a sword, and a dragon-like creature.
Each relief symbolizes a powerful martial spirit, and also represents power and status.
The chrysanthemum relief refers to the spirit of Ju Douluo Yueguan, the elder in front of the Pope's Hall of the Spirit Hall—the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum.
The Ghost Shadow Relief refers to the Ghostly Spirit, the martial soul of the elder Ghost Douluo, who stands before the palace.
The chrysanthemum and the ghostly figure in the reliefs represent the power of the Papal Palace.
The crown relief refers to the six-winged angel, the martial soul of the Qian family, the angel clan of the Spirit Hall, and also represents the supreme ruling position of the Spirit Hall.
The hammer relief refers to the Clear Sky Hammer, the inherited martial spirit of the Clear Sky Sect, which represents the Clear Sky Sect's status as the top of the three upper sects.
The sword relief refers to the Seven Kill Sword, the martial soul of Douluo Chenxin, the guardian sword of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, representing the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's second-ranked position among the top three sects.
The last dragon-shaped relief refers to the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, the inherited martial soul of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan, representing the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan's third-ranked position among the three upper clans.
It is worth mentioning that.
The reason why the three reliefs representing the status of the three upper sects, symbolizing the martial spirit, can be carved on the city wall of Martial Spirit City is because...
Besides the fact that the owners of these three martial souls represent the status of the three upper sects.
There is another important reason.
That is, their ancestors were once core elders of the Spirit Hall.
In the era when the Angel God suppressed evil spirits and rebuilt the order of the continent, he made great contributions to the Spirit Hall.
However, times have changed, and the descendants of those three core elders have long since left the Spirit Hall.
They can either establish their own clan power or join someone else's clan power.
Today it is today.
The martial spirit inheritance of those three core elders has long since severed all ties with the Spirit Hall.
Although their descendants still hold the title of honorary elder of the Spirit Hall, they have long forgotten their original intentions. They not only go against the Spirit Hall and become enemies with it.
On the carriage.
A handsome young man in black held the hand of a little girl with pigtails, standing side by side, gazing at the towering and majestic Martial Soul City in the distance.
They were currently located directly north of Wuhun City.
The relief carving on this city wall is exactly a large hammer.
"Your Highness, isn't this Spirit City? Why is the Clear Sky Hammer, the inherited spirit of the Clear Sky Sect, engraved on the city wall of Spirit City?"
Upon seeing the massive hammer carved on the towering city wall of Wuhun City, the little girl with pigtails immediately frowned, her delicate eyebrows furrowing, and the shock on her face instantly replaced by disgust.
Although she was still young and didn't know much about the Haotian Sect, it didn't stop her from hating and loathing it.
From childhood to adulthood, although she was only seven years old, she had heard countless times from her grandfather and the elders of the clan cursing, resenting, and swearing at the Haotian Sect.
Through constant exposure and influence.
The little girl with pigtails naturally had no good feelings towards the Haotian Sect, the former head sect of her family.
As time went on and more information was gained, the hatred and disgust towards the Haotian Sect in his heart only deepened.
Of course, she also harbored some hatred towards the Spirit Hall.
On ordinary days, Grandpa and the elders of the clan often cursed the Spirit Hall. Although they didn't curse it as much as they cursed the Clear Sky Sect, their hatred was no less.
After all, the Min clan has fallen to such a miserable state because of the Spirit Hall.
That's right, this little girl with pigtails is from the Min clan, one of the four clans with a single attribute.
Moreover, her identity is quite special; she is the eldest daughter of the Min clan, and the only granddaughter of the current clan leader, Bai He.
White agarwood!
The war eight years ago.
The Spirit Hall emerged victorious.
After suffering a crushing defeat, the Haotian Sect retreated to the depths of the snowy mountains, closed its doors, and went into seclusion.
The Spirit Hall did not exterminate the four single-attribute clans of Agility, Strength, Defense, and Break, which were vassal forces of the Clear Sky Sect.
The Min clan was thus able to survive.
In that war, the Min clan could be considered a victim, though they were not entirely innocent either.
Although the Min clan was coerced by the main sect, the Haotian Sect, into fighting against the Spirit Hall, their own subjective will was involved in the conflict.
Therefore, the Min clan suffered heavy casualties and was severely attacked by the Spirit Hall during the war, which can be considered as their own fault.
War is inherently ruthless; it's either you kill me or I kill you.
The fact that the Spirit Hall didn't slaughter the entire Min clan is already considered a sign of mercy.
Otherwise, given the strength of the Spirit Hall, let alone a mere Min clan.
Even if you add the other three single-attribute clans together, it's the same.
If it were truly necessary to slaughter them all, it would be an easy task.
Once the Spirit Hall decides to do this, none of the members of the four single-attribute clans of Agility, Strength, Defense, and Break will be able to escape.
……
Bai Chenxiang was unaware of how brutal that war had been.
She was born in the second year after the war ended.
At that time, the Min clan had already broken away from the Haotian Sect and migrated to a small town in the southern part of the Tiandou Empire, where they began to decline.
Because the entire Min clan, from top to bottom, including the clan leader Bai He, are all proud individuals who are unwilling to join other soul master clans.
In addition, the Min clan's soul masters inherit the Swift-tailed Swift, which possesses unparalleled speed but extremely low attack and defense.
Aside from their expertise in reconnaissance, making them suitable for intelligence gathering and acting as scouts to deliver messages, they had no other means of making a living.
Therefore, in the time that followed, the Min clan was the one that declined the fastest and had the most difficult time surviving among the four single-attribute clans, often needing assistance from the other three clans.
As for the other three single-attribute clans that are on par with the Min clan...
The Power Clan possesses immense strength and is skilled in forging, making a living by blacksmithing.
The Imperial Clan are tough and resilient, possessing expertise in construction techniques, and make a living through building.
The Po clan, on the other hand, mastered the art of alchemy and made a living by refining medicine.
Therefore, these three clans were all doing fairly well, and occasionally they could even help out the Min clan.
At this moment.
Standing before the headquarters of the Spirit Hall—Spirit City.
There's something strange about the white agarwood.
She was deeply impressed by the grandeur of Wuhun City.
However, she didn't really like the Spirit Hall; in fact, she even harbored some hatred towards it.
But when she thought of His Highness the Holy Son beside her, she felt a special warmth.
Moreover, she will go to the Spirit Hall Academy to study and will serve His Highness the Holy Son and the Spirit Hall in the future.
Bai Chenxiang's feelings were somewhat complicated for a moment.
However, because they are still young, these subtle emotions come and go quickly.
They quickly shifted their focus to their disgust and hatred towards the Haotian Sect.
Listening to Bai Chenxiang's clear and melodious question, like that of a lark.
The boy in black, Ye Qifeng, who had left Blazing Fire City to return to Martial Soul, turned slightly, his head lowered, his pitch-black pupils reflecting Bai Chenxiang's image.
At this time, Bai Chenxiang was about seven years old. She was small and slightly thin, but her face was beautiful and her features were delicate. She looked like a beauty in the making.
She was wearing a light leather jacket and shorts that barely covered her hips, revealing a pair of slender, straight legs, and small leather boots on her feet.
Her little mouth was rosy, and her head was covered with light purple hair, tied into two small ponytails that hung down beside her little head, swaying gently.
She blinked her pale purple eyes, which were like sparkling gemstones. Her gaze held the arrogance unique to the Min clan, while also revealing a mischievousness, as if she were very interested in everything around her.
Ye Qifeng smiled faintly, reached out and patted her head, patiently explaining to her why the Clear Sky Hammer was carved on the walls of Wuhun City.
Bringing Bai Chenxiang back to Wuhun City was truly an accident.
Half a month ago, after leaving Blazing Fire City, he was carried by Ghostly Flying, intending to return directly to Spirit City.
While passing through a small town south of Tiandou City, they happened to discover the settlement of the Min clan.
Just then, I remembered the celestial herb that the Min clan patriarch, Bai He, possessed—the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng.
Ye Qifeng immediately changed his mind and ordered the ghost to land directly in that small town.
Then, together with the ghost, they went to the Min clan's territory.
To tell the truth.
The Min clan is indeed the worst off among the four single-attribute clans.
The Min clan's residence and the Power clan's mansion in Tiandou City are simply incomparable.
The family's residence, though quite spacious, consisted of dilapidated and old buildings that looked as if they had never been repaired.
The gate was old and shabby, with some paint peeling off. Many parts of the mansion's walls seemed to have collapsed, but they had simply been patched up with some basic materials and paste.
When Ye Qifeng and Guimei stepped into the Min clan's territory, they almost couldn't help but wonder if they had gone to the wrong place.
It wasn't until they met the patriarch of the Min clan, known as the "Old White Bird," that they were certain they hadn't come to the wrong place.
Ye Qifeng knew that the Min clan was very poor, even the poorest of the four single-attribute clans.
But the fact that they were that poor was far beyond Ye Qifeng's expectations.
He couldn't quite understand it.
The Min clan is, after all, a Soul Master family, and one of the four famous single-attribute clans. Even if they have fallen into decline, they shouldn't be in such a state, right?
As the head of the Min clan, Bai He had led such a large clan to such a state of ruin that Ye Qifeng had to admit he was impressed.
Then again.
Eight years after the war ended, the Min clan declared their separation from the Haotian Sect.
The Spirit Hall then stopped targeting them and causing them trouble. They even extended an olive branch to recruit them.
However, they were brutally slaughtered by the Spirit Hall during the war.
The Min clan harbored deep hatred for the Spirit Hall, and coupled with their pride, they resolutely rejected the Spirit Hall's offer of recruitment.
Speaking of which...
That old man, Baihe, really has a lot of backbone.
Because of their deep hatred for the Spirit Hall, no matter how poor the Min Clan was, they would never allow any member of the clan to receive the monthly offerings for Soul Masters distributed by the Spirit Hall.
In this respect, the old man truly has backbone, far better than his third brother who would eat his meal and then curse his mother.
But on the other hand...
The old man Baihe is quite stubborn and inflexible, and doesn't know how to adapt.
If he could be as shameless as that scoundrel, the Min clan probably wouldn't be in such a miserable state.
That night, when Seven Winds and Ghosts came to visit.
Upon learning that the two were from the Spirit Hall, Bai He showed them no kindness whatsoever and refused to see them.
Ye Qifeng had anticipated this situation and was not surprised by it.
After all, the Min clan has a grudge against the Spirit Hall, so it's understandable.
However, Ye Qifeng's trip was for the Celestial Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, and he certainly couldn't do without seeing Bai He.
So he politely continued to request an audience.
No matter how much we pleaded, that old man Baihe simply wouldn't open the door.
no way.
Ye Qifeng had no choice but to force his way in with Gui Mei.
If the soft approach doesn't work, we'll have to resort to the hard one.
After all, Ye Qifeng was determined to obtain the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng in Baihe's possession.
If we don't get our hands on it, are we supposed to leave it to that bastard Tang San to feed the rabbits?
