Chapter 26: Tang Hao's Reinforcements, Meng Yiran's Eight-Spider Spear_1

```

However, as a criminal of the Hao Tian Clan, Tang Hao couldn't just enter the sect's gates whenever he wished.

In desperation, he could only find Tang Yuehua and pass a message to Tang Xiao, who was far away in the Hao Tian Clan, through Yue Xuan.

"Knock, knock, knock."

Just then, the door was knocked on.

"Who is it?" Tang Hao frowned and asked in a deep voice.

"Big brother, it's me, Yuehua."

A gentle voice came from outside the door, "The person you want to see, he has arrived."

"Big, big brother is here!"

As soon as Tang Hao heard Tang Yuehua's words, he immediately lost his composure.

He sprang up from his seat, and a large hand quickly smoothed out the wrinkles on his clothes and his unsettled heart.

Creak.

At this moment, the tightly closed door was pushed open. A stunningly beautiful woman in a silver work dress gracefully walked in.

"Big brother."

She softly called out to Tang Hao and then stood aside.

Following her, a figure striding forward confidently entered the room.

He bore a resemblance to Tang Hao, about five or six points' worth, and the moment he saw Tang Hao, an excited look flashed across his majestic face.

"Hao brother, is it, is it really you?"

His voice was filled with thrill.

In his words, he quickly closed the distance in three steps, taking two at a time, and reached Tang Hao, his large hands gripping Tang Hao's shoulders tightly.

At this moment, he was so excited he couldn't contain himself.

"Big brother, it's me."

Tang Hao's eyes also turned red.

He had not expected that a farewell from years ago would turn into decades of separation...

"These years must have been hard on you. Whatever happens this time, I will not let you leave again. You'll return to the sect with me shortly."

With some effort, Tang Xiao calmed his excitement and did not let go of Tang Hao's arm.

However.

Tang Hao shook his head, "Big brother, I am a criminal of the sect, I can't go back..."

"Nonsense!"

Tang Xiao shook his head, "Now I am the master of the sect. If I say you can come back, then you can!"

His voice left no room for doubt.

"But within the sect, there are still many elders. They may not forgive me. As for returning to the sect, let's consider it more thoroughly."

Tang Hao shook his head slightly.

Even though he had not been in the Hao Tian Clan for decades, he could easily imagine what the situation inside the sect would be like at the twitch of his toes.

Given Tang Hao's personality, it was difficult to have absolute say in the Hao Tian Clan.

He would only be mistreated if he went back, so why go back?

Upon hearing those words, Tang Xiao's expression became somewhat unnatural. For a moment, he did not know what to say.

"I asked for your presence, big brother, because there's an important matter I need your help with."

"What is it? Just say it. Do we brothers need to speak of seeking help?"

Tang Xiao shook his head slightly after hearing Tang Hao's words.

Tang Hao didn't immediately state his request, but instead turned to Tang Yuehua, "Yuehua, you should leave us for now."

After all, mentioning this matter meant dredging up old stories. There were many things he did not want a third person to know.

Seeing this, Tang Yuehua's gaze flickered, and then she silently left the room.

After making sure Tang Yuehua had gone far enough, a bitter smile appeared on Tang Hao's face, "This matter, it all starts with the child of Ah Yin and me, Tang San..."

Tang Xiao's brows instantly furrowed tightly, almost forming a line.

When Tang Hao brought up Qin Xiao, Tang Xiao was filled with amazement.

"Who would have thought, truly who would have thought. That there would be a genius on the Soul Land who became a Titled Douluo at the age of just a teen. Even the ancestor who revived our sect, Elder Tang Chen, didn't achieve so much at that age."

He couldn't imagine what kind of peerless talent it took to achieve such feats.

```

However.

When Tang Hao mentioned the hatred between him and Qin Xiao, he was both shocked and furious.

"How arrogant of Thunder Emperor Douluo, to actually dare to strike you! Does he really think that the Hao Tian Clan has no one left?"

"Hmph, I bet he went to Shrek specifically for that girl named Xiaowu. After all, the temptation of a hundred-thousand-year soul beast is not something everyone can resist."

"Tang San and Xiaowu are so much like you and Ah Yin once were. But the tragedy that befell Ah Yin must not be repeated with Tang San and Xiaowu."

"And such a genius character, now that he has become an enemy. Then by all means, he must be destroyed! Before he has fully grown, he should be strangled in the cradle."

Tang Xiao's voice was resolute as he also made a decision.

That is, Qin Xiao must not be left alive.

"Big brother, I feel relieved with your words."

"Qin Xiao's strength is only comparable to mine. With your help, brother, killing him is certainly a sure thing."

Tang Hao's eyes lit up, as Tang Xiao's words were undoubtedly a reassurance.

"Mm." Tang Xiao nodded slightly, "We should not delay, lest things change. Let's set off for Shrek immediately and execute Qin Xiao."

...

Meanwhile.

In Aquipeia Forest.

Under Qin Xiao's watch, Meng Yiran had already absorbed the Soul Ring provided by the Man-Faced Demon Spider to the last drop.

However, the girl showed no signs of waking up.

"Old man, what's going on here? Yiran has absorbed the Soul Ring, why hasn't she woken up?"

Snake Granny asked somewhat nervously.

"Maybe she is consolidating her Cultivation Level, don't worry too much." Long Gong said with a slight smile, not taking the issue to heart.

But, in the next moment, the faces of Dragon Duke and Snake Duchess changed simultaneously.

Because a look of pain suddenly appeared on Meng Yiran's delicate face.

Did Meng Yiran really receive the Eight-Spider Spear? Qin Xiao's eyes shone brightly, inwardly exclaiming "Good job!"

"What's happening? Yiran, what's wrong with her?"

However, Snake Granny couldn't understand what was going on.

Long Gong was also somewhat panicking, instinctively about to touch Meng Yiran.

"You don't want anything to happen to Meng Yiran, do you?"

"I suggest you'd better not disturb her."

Seeing this, Qin Xiao spoke up lightly.

"Why? Why?" As if frozen, Long Gong stiffened where he stood. After a moment, he turned slowly to look at Qin Xiao and asked puzzledly, "Please enlighten me, Your Highness."

Qin Xiao didn't tease them and asked, "Have you ever heard of attached soul bones?"

Attached... soul bone?

Snake Granny looked somewhat bewildered, her gaze instinctively turning to Long Gong.

After pondering for a moment, Long Gong suddenly looked up, "You mean the growth-capable attached soul bone, the stuff of legends!"

Shock filled his voice.

He had read about attached soul bones in a very ancient book.

Even rarer than soul bones, top-grade soul bones were something he was skeptical even existed, something he regarded as mere folklore.

After all, he had never heard of anyone in Soul Land who had an attached soul bone.

"Old man, what exactly is an attached soul bone?" Snake Granny asked, puzzled.

Long Gong opened his mouth, about to answer, but another voice interrupted him.

"Ah..."

With a pained groan, Meng Yiran's back tore the clothes apart, releasing eight pitch-black, ferocious spider legs.

Vicious, evil, Meng Yiran at this moment was chilling to behold.

"Good heavens, how could Yiran turn into this?"

Snake Granny couldn't help but cry out in alarm.

Beside her, Qin Xiao's eyes brightened as he praised inwardly, "Well done!"

He was curious, what would Tang San feel when he saw Meng Yiran bearing the Eight-Spider Spear?
