Chapter 54: Nine-Heart Begonia, The Aggrieved Clear Sky Sect
Damn it!
How did he know that Hao'er had learned Ring Explosion?
Tang Wei's fists clenched until they creaked, and the veins on his temples throbbed.
Tang Hao had never revealed it to the outside world. How could that boy across from him know so clearly?
Could it be that Spirit Hall had already infiltrated the Clear Sky Sect?
But now was not the time to investigate this.
That boy was right. Tang Hao was a once-in-a-century Genius of the Clear Sky Sect, the junior he placed the most hope in, and the future Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect.
Tang Hao must not suffer any mishaps.
Finally, Tang Wei gritted his teeth and said, "Hao'er is in no state to produce it right now. Let me take him for treatment first, and afterward, I will have Hao'er personally transcribe a copy for you."
"No need," Su Mo smiled slightly. "Treat him right here."
Su Mo suddenly turned his head, his gaze falling on a section of the spectator stands.
Two women were sitting there.
One was an old woman with a gentle expression.
The other was a slender and graceful young woman with waist-length azure hair cascading behind her like a waterfall, exuding a cold and aloof aura.
The two were the head of the Nine-Heart Begonia Family's Ye Family and her daughter, Ye Qingshuang.
Ye Qingshuang was the future mother of Ye Lingling.
She and Ye Lingling shared seventy to eighty percent of their looks, both possessing a cold temperament.
As for why Su Mo recognized them, it was naturally because after arriving in Heaven Dou City, he had already used the Spirit Hall sub-temple to investigate the city's powers and key figures thoroughly.
He even had the idea of recruiting the Ye Family.
The healing ability of the Nine-Heart Begonia was terrifyingly potent. If not for the Martial Soul curse, it was hard to say who would hold the title of the world's number one support system Martial Soul.
And Spirit Hall happened to have a qiluo tulip in its possession.
Although he wasn't sure if it could break the curse of the Nine-Heart Begonia, it was just sitting there anyway. As long as the Ye Family was willing to submit, he didn't mind taking it out to try.
Regarding the distribution of the Immortal Herbs, it was naturally Demon-Subduing Douluo who had informed Su Mo.
"Family Head Ye, could I trouble you to step forward and provide treatment?" Su Mo called out loudly, his voice carrying across the entire arena.
In an instant, everyone's gaze fell upon the Ye mother and daughter.
Family Head Ye was clearly hesitant.
Now, she couldn't easily agree, nor could she easily refuse.
Agreeing would offend the Clear Sky Sect.
Refusing would offend Spirit Hall.
Neither of these two powers was something the Ye Family could afford to offend.
But now, the Ye Family had already been dragged into it.
She sighed inwardly; had she known, they wouldn't have come.
The Ye Family was considered a reasonably strong Family power in Heaven Dou City, so they naturally knew about Su Mo's situation at the Great Martial Soul Arena and had planted informants.
Today's match was reported by an informant who had rushed back after snatching a ticket.
They were already curious about Su Mo, so they hurried over to see his true colors.
After a moment, Family Head Ye looked at Su Mo and nodded gently.
If she really had to choose between the two powers, she would certainly lean toward Spirit Hall.
At this time, Spirit Hall's ambitions were not yet fully exposed as they would be in the Late Stage, and they didn't even have the idea of unifying the continent yet.
As for the current Clear Sky Sect, its Disciples were all incredibly arrogant, so she naturally didn't have a good impression of them.
Tang Wei naturally recognized the head of the Ye Family as well.
He hadn't expected her to be here; with her strength, treating Tang Hao would be more than enough.
Was he really forced to hand over the Ring Explosion today?
He had originally planned to take Tang Hao away first and simultaneously send someone to secretly notify his father, Tang Chen.
Once Tang Chen arrived, even Golden Crocodile would be no match. Even if they didn't give it, the other party wouldn't be able to do anything to them.
But given the current situation, he didn't know what to do for a moment.
Soon, Family Head Ye arrived on the stage.
"Family Head Ye, please begin," Su Mo said with a smile.
Family Head Ye nodded and released her Nine-Heart Begonia Martial Soul.
Seven optimally configured Soul Rings appeared one after another beneath her feet, and her Soul Power fluctuations reached Rank 78.
No matter how many Soul Rings the Nine-Heart Begonia Martial Soul had, it only had one Soul skills: Healing.
The higher the Rank, the better the healing effect.
With her Rank 78 Soul Power, treating a Rank 58 Tang Hao was more than enough.
The Nine-Heart Begonia in Family Head Ye's hand bloomed with a soft light, and the healing glow fell upon Tang Hao. Those charred wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
A moment later, Family Head Ye withdrew her Martial Soul and said softly, "Your Excellency, Young Master Shura, it is done."
Su Mo nodded slightly. "Many thanks, Family Head Ye."
"I shall take my leave then," Family Head Ye bowed slightly, preparing to distance herself from this place of trouble.
"Family Head Ye, wait a moment," Su Mo smiled. "I have some business with you later. Please wait for a while."
Family Head Ye's steps faltered, her heart tightening, but she ultimately remained where she was.
Su Mo looked at the Clear Sky Sect group. "Sect Master Tang, it's time to fulfill the bet."
Tang Wei knew that he couldn't settle this peacefully today; staying any longer would only invite further humiliation.
"Hao'er," Tang Xiao hurriedly crouched down, shaking Tang Hao's shoulder.
"Brother Hao."
"Brother Hao..."
Tang Xiao and Tang Yuehua also called out anxiously as they looked at Tang Hao's dazed expression.
At this moment, Tang Hao finally regained a bit of his senses from the blow and said in disbelief, "Father, I... I lost."
"Hao'er, pull yourself together. A single failure doesn't mean anything," Tang Wei's eyes were full of heartache.
"Alright, stop dawdling. Now that he's healed, hurry up and fulfill the bet," Su Mo said.
Tang Wei bit his lip and took a deep breath. "Hao'er, give the Ring Explosion to them."
"Father, but this is..."
"Do you want the Clear Sky Sect to bear the infamy of being untrustworthy?"
Tang Hao gritted his teeth and unwillingly searched through his spirit tool, pulling out a Secret Manual; it was indeed the Ring Explosion.
Tang Wei snatched the manual and threw it fiercely at Su Mo. "Take it!"
Su Mo reached out to catch it, casually flipped through a few pages, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a playful smile.
"Wasn't this being carried on your person? Didn't Sect Master Tang say earlier that you didn't have it with you?"
"You—!"
Tang Wei's face turned the color of pig liver, his chest heaving violently, but he couldn't refute a single word.
"Let's go!"
Tang Wei threw his hand down and turned to stride away.
Tang Xiao supported the still-dazed Tang Hao, following closely behind his father.
The Disciples of the Clear Sky Sect followed dejectedly, no longer possessing the arrogance they had when they arrived.
Tang Yuehua, walking at the very back, couldn't help but look back at Su Mo on the stage.
Her brother Tang Hao had always been the strongest person in her heart, an undefeated existence among his peers.
But it was this youth before her, who looked even younger than her brother, who had shattered her faith in such a short time. For a moment, her heart was filled with mixed emotions.
But soon, she pulled her thoughts back and quickened her pace to keep up with the Clear Sky Sect group.
"Little brother Shura, Senior Golden Crocodile, we shall also take our leave."
Seeing that the matter had settled, Ning Mingyuan cupped his hands and led Gu Rong and Ning Fengzhi away.
Yu Yuanzhen, who had not said a word from beginning to end, also silently left the Great Martial Soul Arena with the people of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
In the blink of an eye, only Su Mo's group and the remaining Family Head Ye were left on the stage.
Family Head Ye stood there, her heart uneasy, wondering what business this lord from Spirit Hall had with her.
"Let's go, Family Head Ye. This is not the place for conversation."
Soon, Family Head Ye took Ye Qingshuang and left the Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena with Su Mo and his group.
