That Is Not My Sister But Bibi Dong?!

Facing Hu Liena's falsehood about her good eyesight, Li Jiuchuan was completely unaware and didn't forget to offer a compliment: "Sister Nana, you have excellent vision."

The distance between the city wall and the Spirit Hall fleet was at least five kilometers.

At this range, being able to see the flags on the ships was something ordinary people couldn't do. For Nana to see them, she must have some special talent.

Staring from afar at the vague silhouette of the Spirit Hall ships, Li Jiuchuan's gaze flickered. She couldn't quite figure out why the Spirit Hall fleet had appeared here.

What was their purpose?

These days, Spirit Hall's reputation was almost on par with that of street thugs.

Whenever Spirit Hall personnel encountered merchants, extortion and exploitation were inevitable.

Li's family, having been in business for decades, had not escaped the greasy fingers of Spirit Hall.

So, in Li Jiuchuan's heart, her impression of Spirit Hall was far from good.

"I wonder if Spirit Hall is in league with the pirates. If they take advantage of the chaos, our Li family would suffer even more."

Li Jiuchuan's eyes drooped as she sighed softly, her hands feeling somewhat powerless.

In the face of such overwhelming power, what was the Li family but drifting weeds and lambs to the slaughter?

"What are you saying, Jiuchuan?"

Hu Liena puffed her cheeks slightly, frowning in dissatisfaction.

Spirit Hall, an organization dedicated to punishing evil and promoting good, could never be in cahoots with pirates.

Moreover, the Spirit Hall patrol fleet had been specially dispatched by her to help the Li family.

Unexpectedly, Li Jiuchuan had preconceived notions and already branded Spirit Hall as evil.

Could Spirit Hall's reputation really be that bad?

This led Hu Liena to fall into a brief moment of self-doubt.

Previously, through the incident at the Spirit branch hall in Donghai City, she had witnessed the corruption at the grassroots level of Spirit Hall.

Originally, she thought this was due to Spirit Hall's insufficient control, leading to weak governance over remote areas.

However, the Li family, as a business family that had traveled extensively, also believed that Spirit Hall was a dark force.

This meant that the darkness within Spirit Hall was widespread.

Thinking of this, Hu Liena lightly patted her forehead, her face showing concern.

It seems that Ye Tian was right—if Spirit Hall doesn't reform soon, it may indeed face collective retaliation from the other forces on the continent.

"Nana used to be a maid in Spirit City, and she couldn't stand anyone speaking ill of Spirit Hall," Ye Tian said with a smile, gently rubbing Hu Liena's hair to comfort her, then looked at Li Jiuchuan and explained.

"Ah, I see."

Li Jiuchuan suddenly understood and cast a surprised glance at Hu Liena.

No wonder her aura was so composed—she had seen plenty of major events, having worked in Spirit City.

"Nana, you may not know this, but the reason I have such thoughts is because Spirit Hall has committed too many evil deeds.

Last year, when my Li family visited a port in the Heaven Dou Empire, we had already paid the port tax.

But after the Spirit Hall patrol saw how well our sales were doing, they fined us a few thousand gold soul coins under the pretext that we had violated port regulations.

That was something I personally experienced.

Every year, my Li family faces many similar incidents.

And my Li family is considered a large family, so Spirit Hall doesn't dare to be too excessive.

If it were smaller families, Spirit Hall's exploitation would be even harsher—they might even directly plunder them."

Li Jiuchuan sighed.

Spirit Hall had the most soul masters in the world and immense power. Most forces wouldn't dare defy them or challenge Spirit Hall.

When faced with such threats, paying up was often the only option.

Hu Liena's expression grew complicated, and for a moment, she didn't know what to say.

Indeed, the higher one's position, the more they were blinded by those below them!

After all, she had accompanied her teacher every year to visit numerous Spirit Hall branch halls.

Everywhere they went, it was always a scene of peace and prosperity.

When asked, the common folk praised Spirit Hall for its righteous conduct.

For this, her teacher had even personally awarded several branch hall masters for excellent governance.

Now, it seemed that most of it had been a façade, deceiving her teacher!

Hu Liena clenched her fists tightly. This situation must change!

She quickly stole a glance at Ye Tian.

If he was willing to help Spirit Hall, she believed these issues could be swiftly resolved.

No wonder her teacher was so determined to win him over—his abilities were truly invaluable.

As the Saintess of Spirit Hall, she was determined to assist her teacher in securing Ye Tian's support.

Thinking of this, Hu Liena's face flushed slightly.

For Spirit Hall, for her teacher—if necessary, sacrificing her beauty would be worth it.

Yes, everything was for Spirit Hall!

As she pondered, sweat began to form in her palms.

This was truly a difficult decision.

Fortunately, neither Ye Tian nor Li Jiuchuan was paying attention to her.

Otherwise, her inner turmoil would have been entirely visible.

Beside her, Ye Tian extended his hand, shielding his eyes as he gazed toward the sea beyond the port.

The wind was picking up, signaling that the typhoon was slowly approaching.

Out on the sea beyond the port, the previously scattered pirate ships began to regroup.

This wasn't due to Coral's shouting having any effect.

When it comes to survival instincts, people don't heed anyone's advice.

It was simply that these experienced pirates knew that Golden Turtle Island was the only nearby shelter from the storm.

The typhoon was approaching too quickly.

At this point, attempting to flee was already too late.

Meanwhile, the arrival of an unknown fleet further accelerated the pirates' self-organized gathering.

"Damn! Whose fleet is that? It's massive!"

The first pirate to spot the Spirit Hall patrol ships let out a gasp of surprise, quickly attracting the attention of many others.

"Oh my god, each ship in this five-ship fleet is larger than Coral's flagship!"

"Steel rams! They've got steel rams installed!"

"We're screwed. If our ships collide with theirs, we'll fall apart immediately!"

"Wait, look at the flags on those ships!"

"They're flying the Spirit Hall flag!"

"Why did we have to provoke Spirit Hall? We're doomed now!"

The pirates were filled with regret, but the Spirit Hall patrol gave them no chance.

The five-ship fleet formed a triangular attack formation, rapidly advancing toward the pirate ships.

It wasn't just the Spirit Hall patrol surrounding the pirates.

Within Golden Turtle Island's port, under Li Haitian's leadership, the Li family's warships were also chasing down and blocking the pirates.

Especially Scorpion Douluo Zhou Long, whose Titled Douluo's aura enveloped the battlefield.

His Spirit true form manifested behind him as he leaped onto a pirate ship, wreaking havoc.

Seeing Zhou Long, the pirates were terrified.

Dealing with the Li family was hard enough, and now a Titled Douluo had appeared out of nowhere.

They didn't have the will to resist.

Driven by their survival instincts, they dropped their weapons and knelt in surrender.

The pirate captain, reacting quickly, dashed forward, immediately kneeling and clasping his hands together, begging Zhou Long for mercy:

"Your eminence, spare us! Please, spare us!"

"How dull!"

Zhou Long snorted coldly, withdrawing his soul power. He wasn't a bloodthirsty man.

The priority now was to eliminate the pirate threat. Seeing them surrender, he decided to let them go for the time being.

After dealing with the pirate ship beneath him, Zhou Long leaped onto another vessel to continue the fight.

At that moment, a surge of intense killing intent erupted from Coral's pirate ship at the entrance to the port.

The aura of a Super Douluo rose from Coral's ship.

"Li Haitian, do you remember me?"
