Chapter 233

Tang Kun said sternly:

"Alright, Tang Yi, the disaster of the poison men in Yuzhou City is imminent. Heyang Elder came from afar with his high disciple for the sake of the people of Yuzhou City, and even the safety of the world. Don't make trouble here."

Hearing this, Tang Yi felt relieved, but on the surface, he made a gesture of being unwilling and closed his mouth.

"General Manager Tang, please identify this poison."

Tang Tai stood up and took the jade bottle from the young man in white Taoist robes. The moment he pulled out the bottle stopper, a foul smell filled every corner of the main hall.

"So smelly, what poison is this?" Tang Zhiyun couldn't help but cover her nose and complain.

Tang Tai sniffed it slightly, immediately blocked the bottle mouth with the stopper, and frowned deeply:

"This is the poison of our Tang Sect, named 'Celestial Spirit Pill.' According to the Tang Sect poison records, it was refined more than a hundred years ago, and it is also the most violent and evil poison of the Tang Sect."

Zhuang Buran asked with an unchanged tone:

"I don't know if anyone else knows how to refine this poison besides the Tang Sect?"

Tang Tai shook his head:

"According to the rules of our Tang Sect, poison techniques have always been passed down through the direct line."

"Seeing Old Senior Tang and General Manager Tang today, Changqing knows that although the Tang Sect refines poison, they are all upright and honest people."

Zhuang Buran said unhurriedly:

"In this case, it is mostly that a villain has sneaked into Tang Family Fort, stolen this poison, and caused the current disaster of the poison men."

Tang Tai heard this and felt that the young man in white Taoist robes was worthy of being the head disciple of the Shushan Sect. He was as gentle as a spring breeze, and his speech was extremely pleasant and thoughtful, unlike other sects in the Jianghu, who always thought their Tang Sect was an evil sect and would do some unseen, dirty things.

"But then again, who in the Jianghu doesn't know that Tang Family Fort is full of mechanisms and hidden weapons? Rashly sneaking in will only lead to no return."

Zhuang Buran's gaze fell on Tang Yi:

"Ask who dares to break into Tang Family Fort and steal the Tang Sect's most violent poison without anyone knowing."

Instantly, everyone heard the meaning in his words and looked at Tang Yi with different expressions following the gaze of the young man in white Taoist robes.

"You... what do you mean?" Tang Yi slapped the table and stood up:

"Do you think I would be the thief who stole the Celestial Spirit Pill?"

"Changqing doesn't want to suspect everyone in Tang Family Fort, but Senior Tang Yi's heartbeat keeps trying to tell me something."

Zhuang Buran's face was calm:

"At this moment, Senior Tang Yi's nervousness is much more than the anger shown on your face, and it is mixed with emotions like shock and unease."

"Besides this, you seem to have a lot of resentment toward Old Senior Tang, and even more dissatisfaction."

His tone paused slightly:

"Senior Tang Yi, from beginning to end, you have exposed too many flaws, Changqing really cannot turn a blind eye."

Tang Yi's face froze, and he sneered, pretending to be calm:

"Absurd, I didn't expect that the dignified head disciple of the Shushan Sect would frame people like this without any evidence. Everyone says that to catch a thief you need stolen goods, and to catch an adulterer you need a pair. Do you think that with one big mouth, you can turn black into white and frame people?"

The more he spoke, the more excited he became:

"Xu Changqing, let me tell you, others are afraid of your Shushan Sect, but I, Tang Yi, am not afraid."

Zhuang Buran said lightly:

"Illegitimate status, the rules of the Tang Sect that poison techniques and the position of hall master can only be passed to the direct line, Old Senior Tang is seriously ill, and a woman becomes the next generation of Tang Sect hall master."

"All these things forced you to take the risk, just to prove one thing: you are not inferior to anyone, and you are the best candidate to inherit the position of Tang Sect hall master."

Tang Yi's pupils shrank, clearly feeling that the words of the young man in white Taoist robes had hit his heart.

"If you want evidence, let me think about it. Late at night, poison men appear in Yuzhou City. You must have colluded with the monster who is still hiding in Yuzhou City."

"And you must have witnessed the monster refining the poison men, so you know the danger of the poison man's blood."

"Generally speaking, monsters and ghosts like to hide in places where the three teachings and nine schools of thought gather. The more chaotic and dirty, the more they linger, just like monsters and female ghosts who choose places of wind and moon."

"And evil ways will stay in... gambling houses."

Tang Yi's pupils shook, his psychological defense collapsed completely, and he blurted out:

"Are you human or ghost?"

"True constant response to things, true constant attainment of nature, constant response and constant stillness, constant purity and stillness." Zhuang Buran said clearly:

"By holding onto this true nature and merging with the Dao, one can cultivate a pure heart and gain the ability of mind penetration, which can reflect others and also reflect all things."

"Hahaha, what a good Shushan head disciple." Tang Yi glared at Tang Kun:

"I just don't accept it. What qualifications does this willful and willful Tang Xuejian, who has had the temperament of a young lady since she was a child, have to be the next hall master of the Tang Sect."

"I have reached this step today, all because you forced me. I am not a piece of trash like Tang Tai who has the heart of a thief but no courage."

"If I want to get something, I will definitely find a way to get it."

He glanced at the young man in white Taoist robes with hatred and continued:

"It's a pity that man proposes but God disposes, letting you old guy pick up a life."

Tang Tai suddenly took action, captured Tang Yi, made him kneel on the ground, unable to move, and then scolded:

"Presumptuous, I didn't expect that a wolf-hearted and dog-lunged traitor really appeared in our Tang Sect."

Tang Kun sighed:

"It seems you still think you were born to a concubine, so you feel you have suffered discrimination from the Tang Sect."

"Because of your illegitimate status, you feel inferior to others, and you take my strictness toward you as hatred, but you don't know that I didn't want you to rely on your status and not seek progress."

He looked sideways at Heyang Elder:

"Family misfortune, let you see a joke. There are only a few big gambling houses in Yuzhou City, among which the gambling house named 'Da Sanyuan' is the most suspicious."

"And the poison of the Celestial Spirit Pill, our Tang Sect can solve it. I will immediately send someone to bring the antidote and lead your sect's disciples to Da Sanyuan to capture the mastermind."

"Fortunately, no great mistake has been made yet, I hope Fort Master Tang can look past it." Heyang Elder said with a serious face:

"Changqing, time is running out, you immediately contact Changyin."

"Yes."

The young man in white Taoist robes immediately used the Shushan communication magic tool to contact him.

Not long after, dozens of sword lights landed outside Tang Family Fort, and then led by the Tang Sect disciples who were like local tyrants in Yuzhou City, they came to a big gambling house.

Afterward, a large number of gamblers left the gambling house, and the gambling house became quiet immediately.

Tang Xuejian, who followed all the way, suddenly heard faint cries.

Before she could speak, Zhuang Buran slashed a sharp sword aura toward the ground. The sword aura, which seemed to have the power to split mountains and rivers, forcibly slashed out a gap about three or four feet long and seven or eight feet wide.

"There is mostly the lair of the mastermind under the gambling house, fellow junior brothers must be careful."

The young man in white Taoist robes said this and then said:

"Miss Tang, it is dangerous below, you and the Tang Sect brothers wait outside."

After speaking, he leaped into the gap first, and dozens of Shushan disciples followed closely behind.

Changyin looked around slightly and said:

"Senior Brother, the mastermind is the Thunderclap Hall. This sect has always dominated the Jianghu with firearms and is also coveting the Tang Sect."

"Since the previous hall master Lei Xiaotian passed the position to his adopted son Luo Rulie, the movements of the Thunderclap Hall have become increasingly mysterious."

Zhuang Buran nodded, following the increasingly clear crying, and saw many imprisoned red-eyed poison men and Thunderclap Hall disciples.

With a "Zheng," a long sword was unsheathed, suddenly blooming with cold light like frost and snow. The Thunderclap Hall disciples watching the poison men suddenly stiffened and fell to the ground dead.
