Let the Spirit Hall Golden Generation Deal with Shi Hao?

"You bunch of trash!!"

Bibi Dong cursed furiously. The man was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, only able to explain in a low voice.

"Your Holiness, that child doesn't seem ordinary. Everyone we sent out was defeated by him with a casual wave of his hand!"

"Are you joking with me? He's just a child!"

Bibi Dong did not believe him, and the man grew anxious.

"Your Holiness, you'll know once you see for yourself."

Bibi Dong frowned slightly. Perhaps that child really was not simple. Her eyes took on a trace of seriousness as she left the hall and released her Spiritual Power to investigate the situation by the city gate.

She saw a child in red standing atop the city wall, a red gourd perched on his head, making him look utterly bizarre. He appeared to be around six years old.

A large group of people lay sprawled beneath the city gate, looking utterly miserable. On closer inspection, they were dressed in Spirit Hall uniforms.

Bibi Dong could not help being stunned by the sight.

"Did that child on the wall do this to all of them?"

Though these fallen men were not Spirit Hall's true elite, the captains of the knight squads all possessed Soul Ancestor-level strength.

Even the ordinary knights had the strength of three-ring Soul Elders. Working together, they could easily defeat an ordinary Spirit King.

But he was only around six years old. Even if he had started cultivating in his mother's womb, he could not possibly have advanced this quickly!

Bibi Dong's expression darkened. This little boy had utterly routed Spirit Hall's knights. It was practically the same as slapping Spirit Hall across the face.

Yet Bibi Dong could not simply bully the weak by sending Spirit Hall's truly powerful older generation after him. Just as she was deep in thought,

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo happened to return from a mission outside. The moment they arrived, they frowned and asked,

"Your Holiness, what is going on outside? When we came back, we found a crowd gathered out there. Is someone causing trouble?"

"It's nothing serious... just a child."

Bibi Dong gave them a brief explanation. Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo exchanged strange looks. A child had actually come to Spirit Hall to save his mother? What kind of situation was this?

"Right... where are Hu Liena and the other two?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo answered, "The three of them went to the Star Dou Great Forest earlier to hunt their fifth Spirit Rings. Judging by the time, they should be returning soon. And the Martial Soul Tournament is about to begin as well, so they may have already arrived in Spirit City."

Bibi Dong thought to herself that the three of them were nearly Spirit King-level by now. They should have more than enough strength to deal with this child, and it would not cause Spirit Hall to lose too much face.

Her expression turned serious as she said, "Find them and send all three. This child should possess Spirit King-level strength. Tell them to take it seriously and not let their guard down. You two keep a close watch on them as well."

Chrysanthemum Douluo nodded slightly. "Yes, Your Holiness!"

He immediately left Spirit Hall and released his Spiritual Power, searching the surrounding area for the three of them. Just as he neared the city gate, he found them standing directly beneath it.

Chrysanthemum Douluo used his Spiritual Power to relay the message to them.

Upon receiving this order from Spirit Hall, Hu Liena, Yan, and Xie Yue all cried out in shock:

"What? We're supposed to capture this child?"

"How can we do that?"

The three looked at one another, none of them having expected Spirit Hall to send them to deal with Shi Hao.

At that moment, Shi Hao had already defeated the knights and was heading toward Spirit Hall. A large group of curious civilians followed behind him, wanting to see just how far this child could go.

"Do we really have to deal with Da Wa?"

Behind him, Hu Liena's expression shifted. She hesitated, seeming as though she wanted to say something but did not know what to say. After spending the past few days with Shi Hao, she had formed a certain friendship with him. He had even helped the three of them obtain their Spirit Rings.

She clearly had not expected things to turn out this way. The three of them had been the ones to bring Shi Hao into Spirit City. Still finding it hard to believe, she said, "Chrysanthemum Douluo actually wants us to go? We really can't bring ourselves to do it... Da Wa just helped us obtain our fifth Spirit Rings, and now we're supposed to deal with him like this. Isn't that too..."

Xie Yue and Yan felt terrible as well, but they were, after all, members of Spirit Hall.

In the end, Xie Yue, as the captain, compromised. He looked at Hu Liena, his expression hesitant as well. "Nana, I know what you're thinking, but we are members of Spirit Hall. And His Holiness the Pope has been our teacher for so many years. We cannot disobey her orders."

Yan added from the side, "If you can't do it, then I will. But don't worry, I won't hurt him."

Since someone had to play the villain, Yan decided to do it himself.

Still, he would not hurt Shi Hao. He would only capture him... As for his Mother, Yan would help investigate the matter later.

Yan believed Shi Hao was going about finding his mother the wrong way. This was Spirit City... the location of Spirit Hall's headquarters. They were only holding back because Shi Hao was just a child.

If he truly provoked them, Shi Hao would be finished.

Xie Yue agreed.

"Yan is right. As long as we don't hurt him, it's fine. Once we capture him, we must protect his life no matter what. Then we can investigate what happened to his Mother!"

"And for us, this is undoubtedly a good thing. At the very least, if the three of us act, Shi Hao won't be harmed." Xie Yue looked at Hu Liena with resolute eyes.

Hu Liena could not think of a better solution for the time being. On one side was her friend, and on the other was the Spirit Hall that had raised her. In the end, she chose the latter. "All right. We'll do it this way."

The three walked toward Shi Hao.

Although Shi Hao was walking ahead, he had actually been paying close attention to Hu Liena and the other two. They were the friends who had brought him to Spirit City, and he did not want them to be hurt.

But during their conversation, the words "Spirit Hall" still reached Shi Hao's ears clearly.

Feeling that he had been deceived, Shi Hao shouted angrily, "Big brother, big sister, you're Spirit Hall people too! Why did you lie to me?!"

"You're bad people too! Give me back my Mother!"

Hu Liena had not expected Shi Hao to find out so quickly. Hearing this, she hurriedly explained, "It was indeed our fault not to tell you, but we had our concerns too. What happened to your Mother must be a misunderstanding..."

Yan saw the child atop the city wall shouting uncontrollably and quickly interrupted Hu Liena. "Nana, don't explain to him yet. In this situation, explanations will only create more misunderstandings."

After comforting Hu Liena, he looked up at Shi Hao and said, "Da Wa, we actually don't want to fight you. We are Spirit Hall's Golden Generation. You can't defeat us, so come down and come with us!"

"Going with you is impossible! You Spirit Hall bad guys! Either defeat me, or I'll definitely go to Spirit Hall and save my Mother!"

Shi Hao shouted.
