"Oh? So this is how you captured him?" Ye Feng asked.
"Yes. Even though he's a Titled Spirit Douluo, two fists can't match four hands. Plus, he's suffering from an old injury and even severed one of his arms for Tang San. His strength has declined. Honestly, if we hadn't enforced the new rule preventing unauthorized entry into the Star Dou Great Forest, we wouldn't have discovered him and Tang San." Bibi Dong replied with a pleased smile.
Capturing Tang Hao was like defusing a ticking time bomb for Bibi Dong.
"You've made me take the blame for over a decade, Bibi Dong. But it was you who killed Qianxunji," Tang Hao spat, glaring at her.
"Yell all you want, Tang Hao. Even if you scream until your voice breaks, no one will hear you. This secret chamber is soundproof and airtight. Besides... do you honestly think Qian Daoliu didn't know what I did?" Bibi Dong sneered, sarcasm dripping from her voice.
"Hmph," Tang Hao snorted.
Of course, he had considered the possibility. Qian Daoliu knew his son died at Bibi Dong's hands but never sought revenge—for the sake of his granddaughter, Qian Renxue.
To the outside world, Tang Hao was the one who severely injured Qianxunji. He was labeled the killer and cast out from the Clear Sky Sect. No one ever knew the truth.
"Donger."
Ye Feng looked over at Bibi Dong. "You didn't bring me here just to tell me this, right?"
Bibi Dong's smile faded into something colder. "Of course not. During the interrogation, we discovered something far more important—Tang Hao was the one who killed your parents."
"What?"
Ye Feng's eyes widened as he stepped forward. His tone was sharp. "Are you serious?"
"Without a doubt."
Bibi Dong explained in detail. "At first, Tang Hao refused to speak. No matter what methods we used, he said nothing. But once we took Blue Silver Emperor Yin hostage, we pried loose many secrets—including the truth about your parents' deaths."
"What happened?" Ye Feng asked, his voice low.
"Your mother was pregnant and on her way back to the Nine-Heart Begonia Sect. While traveling, your parents encountered a mysterious man and followed him out of the inn they were staying in. They vanished after that. The only lead was that you were later adopted by Chief Jack from Holy Spirit Village. Is that correct?"
"Yes. Are you saying the man my parents met... was him?" Ye Feng's gaze locked onto Tang Hao, eyes as sharp as blades.
"Exactly. That man in the black cloak was Tang Hao. But back then, he hadn't yet become a Titled Douluo—he was only at the Spirit Douluo level. He approached your parents because he wanted your mother to heal Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin, who had been severely injured while fleeing from Spirit Hall's pursuit."
"So, after my mother treated Ah Yin... he killed them?"
"No."
Bibi Dong shook her head. "He had the intent to kill, yes. But at Ah Yin's request, he let your parents go. Unfortunately, the very next day, the previous Pope appeared, and a deadly battle broke out. Ah Yin was forced to sacrifice herself to protect Tang Hao. Tang Hao, badly injured, managed to escape.
"But then, your parents returned to visit Ah Yin as promised—only to cross paths with Tang Hao again. Believing they had betrayed his location to Spirit Hall, Tang Hao pursued them. You were born on the third day. Your cries gave away your hiding place. Tang Hao found you. Your father died fighting to protect your mother, who handed you over to Old Jack and lured Tang Hao away. Ironically, the place she chose to mislead Tang Hao was the very village where he would later hide in seclusion—Holy Spirit Village."
"Is that true, Tang Hao?" Ye Feng's voice was like a whisper from the Netherworld. Even Bibi Dong, now a god, shivered.
"Snort."
Tang Hao sneered coldly. "I regret not realizing sooner that the baby Jack took in was you. I should've killed you the moment you awakened the Nine-Heart Mysterious Begonia."
His words confirmed everything.
With a chilling wind, Tang Hao was suddenly lifted into the air. A formless pressure wrapped around his neck like an invisible hand.
"I killed your parents," Tang Hao growled. "If you've got the guts, kill me."
"You want to die that badly?" Ye Feng asked coldly.
"Your parents exposed my location. Because of them, Ah Yin died. Their deaths were deserved."
"You're wrong," Bibi Dong interjected. "It wasn't his parents who exposed you. It was someone else."
"Who?" Tang Hao's voice trembled with disbelief.
"Your father."
"Hah! Bibi Dong, go sell that story to a three-year-old," Tang Hao mocked. He clearly didn't believe her.
"Tang Hao, are you so blind you don't even realize what you've done? You and the Clear Sky Sect conspired to claim the spirit ring of the Blue Silver Emperor."
"Shut your mouth!"
"Hah! Struck a nerve, didn't I?" Bibi Dong laughed. "You said you'd surprise her by taking her to the city. But instead, you handed her the greatest fear of her life."
"Shut up! Don't you dare slander me!" Tang Hao roared, nearly unhinged.
"Slander?" Bibi Dong's smile turned cruel. "Fine, I'll admit it. I devoured Qianxunji. Because he was worse than an animal. But you? You're worse than even him. You harvested your beloved's spirit ring and bone—those are facts. Indisputable."
With a wave of her hand, dozens of old letters flew out into the air.
Tang Hao's face turned pale the moment he saw them.
"How... how do you have those?" he asked in shock.
"Surprised?" Bibi Dong sneered. "After Qianxunji found out Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin's identity, he forged your father's handwriting. Every letter between you and your father passed through Spirit Hall. That's how Qianxunji stayed hot on your trail.
"Eventually, maybe guilt consumed you. You stopped writing. You managed to avoid being caught for a while. But your father still believed that you'd return for the future of the Clear Sky Sect. He thought you'd reclaim a 100,000-year spirit ring and spirit bone. So, when Qianxunji and the sect both searched for you, it was your father—yes, the same man who made a major decision for you—who leaked your location. That man was the former sect leader of the Clear Sky Sect—your father."
