The sun sets behind the western hills.
The sky gradually darkened, and the moon hung high in the sky.
Compared to Heaven Dou City and Star Luo City.
The streets of Wuhun City at night were still brightly lit and bustling with people.
In recent years.
Under the Spirit Hall's vigorous development of technology.
Electric lights have been installed on all the streets of Wuhun City.
Thus, night markets emerged.
And in the night market.
There were four small figures, each holding a stick of Candied hawthorn, eating as they walked.
"Brother, Sister, we came out so late without telling Mother. What should we do if we're found out?" Walking at the back, a little cute kid whose teeth hadn't even fully grown in yet looked slightly worried.
The child walking in front, wearing red clothes and the tallest of the four, finished a candied hawthorn in one bite.
He waved his hand dismissively: "Just eat your Candied hawthorn and don't worry."
"Great-grandfather and Great-grand-uncle are away exterminating Evil Soul Masters."
"Both mothers are busy with some Divine Trials."
"Besides, before we came out, we used decoys for camouflage."
"As long as we sneak back on time, we definitely won't be discovered."
These four were none other than.
Exactly Xiao Hong, Xiao Lan, Jin Xuehan, and Jin Xuening.
At that time.
Qian Renxue and Ye Lingling were fully devoted to their Divine Trials.
Qian Daoliu and Jin E.
Because the number of Evil Soul Masters was too great.
Every Branch Hall was requesting reinforcements.
Helplessly.
The two had to personally lead teams to exterminate the Evil Soul Masters.
Before leaving.
They repeatedly exhorted their subordinates to look after the four little ones.
They would return in a few days.
Who would have thought that the four little ones had reached a mischievous age.
After pretending to be fast asleep and deceiving Qian Renxue and Ye Lingling.
Once the two left.
They immediately woke up.
They used the decoys they had prepared in advance and placed them under the covers.
Sneaking out under the cover of night.
As for the leader, it was naturally Xiao Hong.
Hearing the words of their big brother, Xiao Hong.
The other three little ones instantly felt at ease and ate the Candied hawthorn in their hands.
Little did they know.
The four of them had long been targeted.
Not far away.
Several suspicious-looking people locked their gaze on the four little ones.
"We're not mistaken, right? It's those four?"
"They are the children of the current Holy Son of Spirit Hall. I've been inquiring and observing for several days; it absolutely can't be wrong."
"Very good! Damn Spirit Hall, they actually refuse to recognize our Spirit Sword Divine Dragon Sect's status as one of the new Upper Three Sects!"
"And they even oppose the Star Luo Imperial Family."
"Thanks to Imperial Preceptor Yu Xiaogang for giving us advice. We'll secretly kidnap these brats back and use them as bargaining chips."
"Follow them, find a place where no one is around, and capture them!"
East of the city.
"The development of Wuhun City has simply exceeded my expectations."
"Once this place becomes a nation, we can take it a step further!"
Jin Mian, who had just returned from Slaughter City.
Looking at the increasingly prosperous Wuhun City.
He had already begun planning the next step of development in his heart.
Suddenly.
He felt four familiar auras.
With a flash of his figure, he arrived in an instant.
"Xiao Hong, Xiao Lan, Xuehan, Xuening!"
"Why aren't you four sleeping properly at night? What are you running around the city for?"
Hearing this familiar voice.
The four little ones turned their heads in unison.
"Daddy!" x4
As the voices fell.
Immediately followed by two "Bang! Bang!" sounds.
Jin Mian took the four little ones to a corner.
Xiao Hong and Jin Xuehan each stood in punishment with a large bump on their heads.
Xiao Lan and Jin Xuening, however, were held in Jin Mian's arms.
"It's been nearly a year since you've seen Daddy. Did you miss me?" Jin Mian asked with a face full of smiles.
Two soft, sweet voices rang out: "Yes~"
After doting on his daughters.
Jin Mian pulled back his smile.
He looked seriously at his two sons standing in the corner.
"Don't just stand there like statues. I'll deal with you later when we get back."
Jin Xuening asked: "Daddy, are we going back now?"
Jin Mian quickly changed his expression and replied: "No rush. I'll take you back after I deal with the people following you."
"You guys have been listening long enough."
"Come out!"
The next second.
Several "Swish! Swish! Swish!" sounds were heard.
Several figures dressed in black robes, each holding a sword carved with a divine dragon pattern.
Dropped from the sky.
The leader looked at Jin Mian, his eyes full of disdain.
"The outside world blows the Holy Son of Spirit Hall out of proportion as if he were some miracle."
"Seeing him today, he's just a young man barely in his early twenties."
Jin Mian didn't care about this.
Instead, he asked: "Tell me, who are you? Why are you following my children?"
"Listen well!"
"We are the Spirit Sword Divine Dragon Sect, one of the newly promoted Upper Three Sects!"
"Our Sect Master is the Spirit Sword Douluo—Lingxuzi, whose strength has reached the Titled Douluo level!"
"Spirit Sword Divine Dragon Sect? Lingxuzi?"
"Never heard of them."
"A third-rate power?"
Jin Mian thought carefully, but had no impression at all.
Hearing the words 'third-rate power'.
The leader immediately became anxious.
"We are the new Upper Three Sects, didn't you hear!"
Jin Mian didn't want to talk nonsense anymore.
He reached out to stop them: "Cut the crap. Tell me quickly, what are you doing following my children in the middle of the night?"
"What are we doing?"
"Your Spirit Hall has repeatedly refused to recognize the status of our Spirit Sword Divine Dragon Sect."
"And you even openly oppose the Star Luo Imperial Family that supports us."
"Capturing these brats today is just to give Spirit Hall a little lesson."
"But now we've changed our minds. Not only will we take these brats back, but we'll also capture you, the Holy Son!"
Looking at the several guys in front of him who seemed mentally challenged.
Jin Mian was speechless.
Is my popularity really this low?
One of the Spirit Sword Divine Dragon Sect disciples said impatiently: "Big brother, why talk nonsense with him? With so many of us, why fear a Spirit Hall Holy Son with four burdens?"
"I believe that by bringing him back, Imperial Preceptor Yu Xiaogang will surely praise our Sect even more before His Majesty the Emperor!"
"Yu Xiaogang?" Jin Mian instantly caught the key information.
So that's how it is.
It turns out it was this bastard Yu Xiaogang's idea.
"Go!"
"Capture these five for me!"
The people from the Spirit Sword Divine Dragon Sect rushed forward.
Jin Mian didn't waste any more words.
He sent the four little ones back to Spirit Hall.
With a wave of his hand, he slapped them to death.
Then he used his Divine Sense to find the location of that Spirit Sword Divine Dragon Sect.
He teleported there.
In an instant.
The originally calm Spirit Sword Divine Dragon Sect.
Suddenly, fierce winds raged.
"Where is the Sect Master of the Spirit Sword Divine Dragon Sect!!!"
Jin Mian's voice swept through every corner of the Sect.
Before long.
A white-haired old man flew into the air.
"I am the Spirit Sword Douluo—Lingxuzi."
"Who might you be?"
"What business do you have at my Spirit Sword Divine Dragon Sect?"
Jin Mian said in a 'kind' tone: "Spirit Hall Holy Son Jin Mian, here to deliver the Divine Path of Destruction Spirit to you!"
Hearing that the person before him was the Holy Son of Spirit Hall.
Lingxuzi hurriedly summoned his Martial Soul.
Preparing for battle.
"To strike in front of me, are you worthy?"
Jin Mian flicked his finger lightly.
Lingxuzi was instantly reduced to ashes.
Then Jin Mian, upholding the Divine Path of Destruction Spirit.
With one move.
He annihilated the so-called Spirit Sword Divine Dragon Sect, one of the new Upper Three Sects below!
