Douluo Dalu: The Legend of The Spider Emperor

"You don't need to hide it any longer. That Titan Giant Ape was never something Xiaoxue could have captured alone. Tell me everything—the whole truth."

Qian Daoliu stood with his hands clasped behind his back, his face solemn.

Behind him, a six-winged angel statue loomed, exuding a divine and holy presence.

Seeing that they could no longer keep the truth from him, Snake Spear Douluo and Blood Thorn Douluo decided to come clean.

As expected from the Grand Worshipper—nothing could escape his insight.

Snake Spear Douluo stepped forward and said, "Please, Grand Worshipper, do not be angry. We did not deliberately hide the truth—someone specifically instructed us to do so."

"Someone?"

Qian Daoliu's eyes flashed with intrigue—he had been right all along.

The so-called Death God's Heart exuded a divine aura—and not just any god's aura, but that of an extremely powerful god.

Previously, Blood Thorn Douluo had claimed that Qian Renxue had used the Death God's Heart to restrain the Titan Giant Ape—but that was clearly impossible.

To wield such a divine artifact, the user must be a god's inheritor.

However, Qian Renxue was already destined to undergo the Angel God's Trials—either the Angel Eight Trials or the legendary Angel Nine Trials, the final test awaited by generations of Spirit Hall masters.

It was impossible for her to inherit another god's power.

So—who was this person Snake Spear Douluo mentioned?

Who had the power to capture the Titan Giant Ape alive?

"What is his name? What is his background? Does he know Xiaoxue's true identity?" Qian Daoliu asked.

Snake Spear Douluo answered, "Grand Worshipper, his name is Ye Hao. He was recently recruited into Spirit Hall by the Young Mistress. Currently, he is an ordinary student at the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy. Moreover… he knows about the Young Mistress's mission and true identity."

Hearing this, Qian Daoliu's brows furrowed slightly.

Xiaoxue's identity had always been a hidden risk—especially in the politically complex environment of Heaven Dou City.

And now, she had personally told this Ye Hao?

Didn't she realize the danger of exposing such secrets?

If their plan was ever leaked, it would deal a devastating blow to Spirit Hall.

Just what was the relationship between Ye Hao and Xiaoxue?

"Tell me about Ye Hao's family background, his martial soul, his soul power level, and anyone closely associated with him."

Qian Daoliu's gaze sharpened.

For the safety of his granddaughter, he needed to investigate thoroughly.

Blood Thorn Douluo spoke next, "Grand Worshipper, we have actually been collecting information on Ye Hao for quite some time. He grew up in Notting City. Before he turned six, his village was massacred by wolf bandits, leaving him an orphan.

A year ago, he traveled to Heaven Dou City, where he met Qin Ming, an instructor at Heaven Dou Imperial Academy. Qin Ming arranged for him to enroll there. That was also where the Young Mistress first encountered him."

Qian Daoliu nodded slightly. "And? What about his martial souls and soul power?"

At this question, Snake Spear Douluo and Blood Thorn Douluo hesitated.

"Hm?" Qian Daoliu's eyes narrowed. "Is there a problem?"

Taking a deep breath, Snake Spear Douluo braced himself and said, "Grand Worshipper, please prepare yourself. What we are about to tell you may… completely upend your understanding."

"Go ahead," Qian Daoliu replied, his curiosity piqued.

He had seen it all—what could possibly shock him now?

After hesitating for a moment, Snake Spear Douluo finally spoke.

"Ye Hao… has twin martial souls."

Qian Daoliu was momentarily stunned.

A twin martial souls wielder?

It seemed Xiaoxue had good judgment after all.

With twin martial souls, this Ye Hao indeed had the potential to be arrogant—and it was no wonder that Qian Renxue had recruited him into Spirit Hall.

A talent like this could undoubtedly become her greatest asset in the future.

"And what are his martial souls?" Qian Daoliu pressed further.

"Grand Worshipper, Ye Hao's twin martial souls are… the Death Spider Emperor and the Soul-Devouring Spider Emperor."

The instant those words were spoken—

Qian Daoliu's entire body trembled.

This… completely shattered his expectations.

Twin martial souls—Death Spider Emperor and Soul-Devouring Spider Emperor…

Were those not the exact same martial souls as Bibi Dong?!

"You… you are certain? Ye Hao's martial souls are really the Death Spider Emperor and the Soul-Devouring Spider Emperor?"

Qian Daoliu's voice was uncharacteristically tense.

Blood Thorn Douluo confirmed, "Grand Worshipper, we would never dare deceive you. Ye Hao indeed possesses the Death Spider Emperor and Soul-Devouring Spider Emperor.

Furthermore… he is only thirteen years old and has already reached the Soul King rank. He accompanied us to the Star Dou Forest specifically to obtain his fifth soul ring."

"Thirteen years old, twin martial souls, Soul King already…"

Qian Daoliu muttered, his expression complicated.

This boy had undoubtedly encountered extraordinary opportunities in his life.

"Is there anything else?"

Snake Spear Douluo hesitated before saying, "One more thing—Ye Hao's appearance… is nearly identical to Her Holiness the Supreme Pontiff."

Those words sent another shockwave through Qian Daoliu's mind.

"What do you mean?"

Blood Thorn Douluo explained, "Standing before Ye Hao… is like standing before Bibi Dong herself. The resemblance is uncanny.

In fact, the first time we saw him, we genuinely thought Bibi Dong had appeared in front of us."

Snake Spear Douluo gulped and said cautiously, "Grand Worshipper… do you think… there might be a connection between Ye Hao and Her Holiness?"

Qian Daoliu's expression turned grave.

"Continue," he ordered.

"Yes."

Snake Spear Douluo cautiously continued, "As we all know, martial souls are inherited from the stronger bloodline of the parents. On this continent, aside from Her Holiness the Supreme Pontiff, no one else possesses both of these twin martial souls.

"Furthermore, considering that Ye Hao's appearance is nearly identical to Her Holiness, it's possible that she is aware of the truth behind this matter."

"You're saying... Ye Hao might actually be Bibi Dong's…?"

Qian Daoliu gasped.

The amount of information in this revelation was overwhelming—he needed time to process it.

After a long silence, Qian Daoliu finally said, "Is there anything else about Ye Hao? Tell me everything you know—every single detail, without leaving anything out!"

"Yes, Grand Worshipper!"

Both Snake Spear Douluo and Blood Thorn Douluo nodded, then immediately began recounting what they knew.

"Grand Worshipper, there is one more suspicious detail," Snake Spear Douluo said.

Qian Daoliu's gaze sharpened. "What is it?"

Snake Spear Douluo explained, "There is a clear gap in Ye Hao's records before the age of six. The first time he officially appeared was in Notting City, a small, remote town.

"I personally visited the Spirit Hall sub-branch in Notting City and inquired about him. According to their records, when Ye Hao was first discovered, he claimed that his village had been destroyed by wolf bandits.

"But after conducting an in-depth investigation, we found that the so-called wolf bandit attack… never actually happened.

"In other words—Ye Hao was lying."

Qian Daoliu nodded thoughtfully. "Hmm. What else?"

At that moment, Blood Thorn Douluo suddenly had a realization.

"There is one more key detail," he said.

"What is it?"

Blood Thorn Douluo hesitated, then continued, "During the martial souls awakening ceremony at the Notting City Spirit Hall sub-branch, two children were discovered to have innate full soul power.

"One was named Tang San, whose martial spirit was Blue Silver Grass.

"The other… was Ye Hao."

Qian Daoliu's expression darkened.

Blood Thorn Douluo continued, "Normally, both of their cases should have been reported up the chain to the main Spirit Hall in Heaven Dou City.

"But for some reason, when the report finally reached Salas, the ruling bishop in Heaven Dou, it only contained information about Tang San.

"Because Blue Silver Grass had never shown innate full soul power before, the case was eventually dismissed as an anomaly.

"But Ye Hao's record… completely disappeared."

Qian Daoliu's expression grew more serious.

"Ye Hao's sudden appearance, and the erasure of his records in Spirit Hall's hierarchy… all of this suggests that someone deliberately manipulated the situation."

"And, Grand Worshipper—"

Both Snake Spear Douluo and Blood Thorn Douluo spoke in unison.

"We discovered a key figure related to Ye Hao's past!"

Qian Daoliu's gaze intensified.

"Speak!"

Snake Spear Douluo took a deep breath and revealed, "Ye Hao studied at Notting Junior Spirit Master Academy. Within the academy, there was one particularly crucial person—"

"Who?"

"Yu Xiaogang."

Qian Daoliu's expression darkened instantly.

"Yu Xiaogang… that crippled failure from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?"

He instinctively repeated the name.

But the moment the words left his mouth, he suddenly stopped.

Because at that moment, he understood everything.

Qian Daoliu knew all about Bibi Dong's past with Yu Xiaogang.

And he also knew exactly how Qian Renxue came into existence.

As a grandfather, he had been fully aware of everything from the very beginning.

Over the years, Bibi Dong had been devoted to Spirit Hall, and Qian Daoliu had witnessed her efforts firsthand.

But for some reason…

He always felt that Bibi Dong's actions were more deliberate than they seemed.

As if she had planned everything from the start.

Spirit Hall had created her.

Spirit Hall had also ruined her.

Qian Daoliu's own son, Qian Xunji, had been killed by Bibi Dong.

Yet, instead of executing her in revenge—

He had allowed her to become the Supreme Pontiff.

Why?

Because of Qian Renxue.

After a long silence, Qian Daoliu finally asked, "What was Ye Hao's relationship with Yu Xiaogang?"

Blood Thorn Douluo replied, "They are enemies."

"Yu Xiaogang's Shrek Academy has a terrible reputation, and Ye Hao and Yu Xiaogang are completely at odds."

"In particular, his disciple, Tang San—we discovered that Tang San also possesses twin martial souls: Blue Silver Grass and the Clear Sky Hammer."

"The Clear Sky Hammer?"

Qian Daoliu's killing intent suddenly surged.

"This Tang San… is he Tang Hao's son?"

As soon as he said this, the temperature in the room plummeted.

Both Snake Spear Douluo and Blood Thorn Douluo couldn't help but shudder.

Snake Spear Douluo carefully nodded.

"Yes… Tang Hao is currently hiding in Heaven Dou City, and Tang San is indeed his son."

With all the information now laid out, the truth became clear.

Qian Daoliu stood motionless, deep in thought.

Ye Hao… must be Bibi Dong's son.

But his father?

It was definitely not Yu Xiaogang—that trash was utterly unworthy.

For years, Bibi Dong had been making decisions without consulting Qian Daoliu, and he had allowed it.

Now, Spirit Hall's fate was in her hands.

And Ye Hao…

Had suddenly appeared in Notting City.

Everything had been orchestrated by Bibi Dong.

Qian Daoliu still didn't know what her true intentions were—

But there was one thing he was absolutely certain of:

Ye Hao was 100% Bibi Dong's son.
