Shi Hao Storms Spirit Hall!

Watching Shi Hao on top of the wall, the crowd chattered away, their eyes full of excitement.

Spirit City had stood on the Douluo Continent for so many years. Almost everyone who dared to cause trouble there had died, and Spirit Hall had only grown more powerful over the past century. It had been a long time since anyone had dared to make trouble in Spirit City!

Yet today, a six- or seven-year-old child had come claiming that Spirit Hall had taken his mother and demanding her release... It truly was rather unusual.

Just then, a procession slowly made its way down the street. Upon seeing the familiar emblem, the crowd quickly stepped aside.

Because it represented Spirit Hall!

More than twenty knights approached, dressed in golden armor that made them appear exceptionally imposing.

The captain leading the knight order stepped forward first. He wore magnificent knightly armor that gleamed with a metallic sheen. Tall and powerfully built, he exuded the majesty of a Spirit Hall knight.

He looked toward the city wall, his brows furrowing slightly, his eyes filled with shock. Why was a child standing atop the wall causing trouble?

This mission had been assigned by Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo. As captain of the knights, he had thought something major had happened. Who would have thought it was just some brat? He felt speechless and only wanted to settle this quickly so he could return and report.

He immediately shouted at the red-clad child atop the wall, "What are you doing standing on the wall of our Spirit City? Get down here at once!"

Hearing the shout, Shi Hao glanced down and calmly said in his still-childish voice, "Who are you people? I'm looking for people from Spirit Hall. Hurry up and bring them here."

"We are Spirit Hall's Guard Knights!"

The moment he heard they were from Spirit Hall, Shi Hao clenched his fists. His anger erupted, and he nearly roared, "You people from Spirit Hall, give my Mother back!"

"Father and my six younger brothers and sisters miss Mother every day. Give my Mother back! Give my Mother back!"

When the gathered passersby heard that Shi Hao had six more children at home, they could not help but pity the child standing atop the city wall. One after another, they began accusing the knights.

"Spirit Hall is truly inhuman. They actually took away a mother who had just given birth to several children."

"Those poor younger siblings at home... The youngest one may not have even seen their mother yet."

"Sigh, Spirit Hall may have immense power, but they can't act like this, can they?"

Spirit Hall had become increasingly arrogant and overbearing in its actions over the years, causing some people to grow dissatisfied.

The knight captain was stunned by Shi Hao's roar. What in the world was this?

Hearing those unpleasant words, the captain immediately regained his composure. "You little brat, don't slander us! Spirit Hall has never done such a thing! We even provide free Martial Soul awakening opportunities to commoners. Why would we abduct women?"

The onlookers did not care about the captain's explanation and began speaking sarcastically again.

"Who says that's impossible? Maybe her mother was so beautiful that someone from your Spirit Hall took a liking to her and brought her back to Spirit Hall."

"Or maybe her mother's talent was too high, but she looked down on Spirit Hall, so you took her back to Spirit Hall instead."

Similar remarks rose and fell without end...

The knight captain was furious as well. If the two Douluo lords had not instructed them not to use force unless necessary, he would have seized the child already.

After all, he was only a child!

Naturally, the onlookers were enjoying the spectacle and had no fear of making things worse. The most important thing now was the child. They immediately turned and asked him, "What is your mother's name? If someone like that is in our Spirit Hall, we'll definitely let her go!"

"My Mother's name is Xiao Xue!"

Shi Hao shouted back.

"Xiao Xue? I'm asking for your mother's full name!"

The knight captain called out loudly, and Shi Hao grew somewhat impatient.

"Xiao Xue is Xiao Xue. Xiao Xue is my Mother..."

He did not understand why everyone kept asking that. His mother was Xiao Xue. That was what Father called her.

"You..."

The knight captain narrowed his eyes slightly and searched his memories for anyone in Spirit Hall named "Xiao Xue." His head began to ache. This was clearly not a full name. How was he supposed to find someone with only one character?

But then he could not help thinking of the major incident that had occurred in Spirit Hall a few months ago... The Great Enshrined had brought his granddaughter and a useless man back to Spirit Hall. The man had later left, while the Great Enshrined's granddaughter had said she was entering seclusion to cultivate.

The Great Enshrined's granddaughter seemed to be called Qian Renxue, a name that also contained the character for snow. He looked at the child before him, but this child was already over six years old. It was obviously absolutely impossible.

The knight captain's gaze grew impatient. "You don't even know your mother's name. You are clearly slandering Spirit Hall."

"Get down here now, or don't blame us for being rude."

Shi Hao was angry. Spirit Hall had clearly taken his Mother, so how did they still have the nerve to act righteous? He planted his hands on his hips and shouted.

"I'm not coming down! If you can, knock me down!"

The knight captain shouted to the men behind him, "Get him!"

He could not endure it anymore. They had to capture this child.

At this moment, Bibi Dong had already returned to Pope's Hall and was preparing to deal with Spirit Hall's daily affairs. The Douluo Continent had clearly been unsettled lately, and she had been rather busy these past few days... Her temper was not very good.

At that moment, a person wearing knightly armor came running over in a panic. Bibi Dong immediately lifted her chilling eyes and said unhurriedly:

"Why is it still so noisy outside? Has the troublemaker been brought here yet?"

"N-No..." The person who had returned to report answered tremblingly, seeming to hesitate.

"Useless. You can't even deal with a child? Is there a powerful expert beside him?" Bibi Dong's anger erupted. She truly did not know what kind of idlers Spirit Hall was raising.

"N-No, he's alone."

"Then send two more knight squads to support them. Capture him as soon as possible, and don't let him damage Spirit Hall's prestige!" Bibi Dong did not think much of it.

He was just a brat. A knight squad led by a four-ring Soul Ancestor should have been enough to handle him.

"Yes!" The person quickly withdrew.

After a while, the person came trembling back. Bibi Dong, who was handling official business, looked up at him, frowned, and asked in an extremely imposing voice, "Still not resolved?"

"N-No."

"What are those knight squads even good for? They can't even capture a child. What use are they? Send ten more squads!"

"No... Transfer all the guards from the city gates over there. I refuse to believe that so many people can't capture one child!"

Bibi Dong's expression became increasingly irritated. Why had everything been going wrong these past few days? She felt as though everyone was working against her.

After another while, the person came trembling over again, stammering, "Your Holiness, still no—"

Before he could finish, Bibi Dong flew into a rage. She struck the ground with the scepter in her hand, releasing a powerful aura.

"You bunch of useless fools!!"

She cursed.
