Thirty years ago.

This is the age after the Tang Lan Rebellion. The eldest elder Tang Yingjie and the Tang clan’s old lady Wang Zhijun died of illness one after another.

Only Tang Taiyue was left to support Tangmen.

He was not an outstanding talent to begin with, so he could only support the Tang Sect to keep its reputation from falling.

…

"I was not yet born when the Tang Clan underwent drastic changes... I heard these things from my father and found out myself."

Tang Qingfeng originally did not plan to mention this matter to Yang Qingyuan. Although he had a desire for revenge, he did not want to have anything to do with the people of the Tang Sect.

Their lineage was basically extinct during the turmoil that year. Apart from his father Tang Taiyue, only his aunt Tang Lan still had a close blood relationship with him.

He also wanted to find out what happened back then and seek justice for his father and grandmother. Now that Yang Qingyuan happened to be investigating the matter, he followed the trend and took advantage of the situation.

"When my aunt made a big fuss about the succession ceremony of the head of the Tang clan, Marquis Yang must have found out about it!"

Yang Qingyuan nodded, "I also found something."

"After that, troubles began to happen frequently in the Tang Sect..."

-----------------------

Thirty-four years ago.

"Master, old lady, what's wrong!" A Tang Sect disciple hurriedly ran into the hall.

"Why are you panicking?!" After Tang Taiyue took over as the sect leader, he became much calmer than before.

"No...it's the Great Elder. Something happened to the Great Elder!"

The tea cup in Tang Taiyue's hand shook...

The Great Elder of the Tang Sect is already the only remaining master of the Dongxuan Realm in the Tang Sect.

The reason why the Tang Sect can compete with Emei and Qingcheng in Shu is that in addition to the hidden weapons and machines in the Sect, the most important thing is the masters of the Dongxuan Realm.

At that time, Tang Lingfeng and Tang Yingjie were both masters of the Dongxuan Realm.

Now that Tang Lingfeng is dead, if Tang Yingjie also dies of illness, the foundation of the Tang Sect will really be shaken!

"Yue'er, let's go see your second grandfather!"

Wang Zhijun also knew the seriousness of the matter, so he got up and went to Tangmen with Tang Taiyue.

"Great Elder!!"

Before Wang Zhijun, mother and son reached the great elder's courtyard, they heard someone crying in the courtyard.

When the two of them heard this, they felt something bad and immediately quickened their pace.

But it was still too late, the great elder Tang Yingjie had already died of illness on his bed.

The floor was covered with blood that he spit out, and even his mouth and nose were covered with blood. The clothes on Tang Yingjie's chest had been untied by the treating doctor, and there was an eye-catching purple palm print on it, as if it had been painted with cheekbones.

, which makes one’s heart palpitate.

The Heavenly and Earthly Destruction Da Ziyang's hand was the palm left by Gong Ziyu to Tang Yingjie at that time.

Although the Styx water was used to force Gong Ziyu back at that time, the power of this Ziyang hand remained in the great elder's body, like a gangrene attached to the bone. Unexpectedly, it would kill Tang Yingjie today.

As soon as the great elder died, one of the pillars supporting the Tang Sect was broken. The Tang Sect began to shrink its strength and prepare to accumulate strength.

But this is not the end of the Tang Sect's misfortune, but the beginning.

In the days that followed, masters from the Tang Sect began to die of illness one after another.

At that time, there were ten masters who challenged Gong Ziyu, including Tang Yingjie. This one started to die one after another after this battle.

Among these ten people, seven are direct descendants of Tang Lingfeng and now Tang Taiyue.

But these masters who were the pillars of the Tang Sect began to die one by one.

The cause of death was almost exactly the same as that of Tang Yingjie, they all died from vomiting blood. Their bodies also had the palm power of Ziyang Hand left by the young master at that time. At that time, everyone in the Tang sect thought it was Gong Ziyu's revenge.

Although the palm power of Ziyang's hand is powerful, it does not take away life, but only blocks the movement of true energy.

But now that these people have died because of the power of the palm, Gong Ziyu must have come back again to take revenge on the Tang clan.

For a time, people in the Tang Sect were panicked.

----------------

Tang Qingfeng recalled the answer he got from his father.

"Later, it was even my grandmother's turn! Like my great-grandfather Tang Yingjie, she also died of vomiting blood."

"From this moment on, my father began to understand that all this had nothing to do with my aunt and Gong Ziyu, but someone who wanted to eradicate the Tang Sect masters in their names."

Yang Qingyuan nodded in agreement.

There was no deep hatred between Tang Lan and Wang Zhijun, and there was no irreconcilable conflict with the Tang clan.

There was no need for the two of them to use such drastic measures.

"Later, thirty years ago, one night, my father was poisoned!"

Yang Qingyuan's eyes narrowed and he looked at Tang Qingfeng, "Water of the Styx?!"

"Well! It seems that Yang Hou has guessed it!" Tang Qingfeng was not surprised.

Yang Qingyuan has already proven his ability.

Yang Qingyuan said, "Although I have not seen the death scene of these people with my own eyes, I am very familiar with the scene of blood on the ground and blood overflowing from the mouth and nose!"

This is how Tang Chi, the leader of the Tang Sect's Thousand Machines Hall, died, except that Tang Chi did not suffer any internal injuries at the time.

Only Wang Zhijun and Tang Taiyue knew about the toxicity of the Styx water, but they only had a partial understanding of it. They only knew that the poison was violent and did not know its magic.

It was only after Wang Zhijun's death that Tang Taiyue noticed something was wrong and began to investigate the matter.

"But my father was still a step too late. Someone took the lead and poured the water from the River Styx into his tea cup...

My father is just a warrior in the Yuan Hua Realm, and with his internal strength, he was originally unable to withstand the toxicity of the Styx water, but fortunately, he detected the Styx water in advance and took precautions."

"What kind of defense? He developed an antidote to Styx water?"

After Tang Qingfeng shook his head, he glanced at Yang Qingyuan inexplicably.

"By chance, my father obtained a Shennong Baicao Pill from the medicine king Sun Shichang."

"..."

Yang Qingyuan did not expect that Wudang was related to this matter.

"I won't introduce the Shen Nong Baicao Pill. Yang Hou must know better than me! Although it can't completely eliminate the toxicity of the Styx water, it also greatly weakens its violence and gives my father a chance to breathe."

"Then what? Why did your father disappear in Tangmen!?"

Tang Qingfeng continued, "After my father was poisoned, he knew that the matter must be caused by a ghost in the Tang family, so he wanted to remove the poison first, and at the same time secretly summoned his cronies to investigate the matter.

But as soon as he left Tangjiapu and wanted to go to a secret place, the killer followed him. My father was poisoned at the time and was no match for these people, so he could only run away desperately. In the end, he was chased to the edge of the cliff.

, and finally, in desperation, jumped into the river."

You can't die by jumping off a cliff after being seriously injured...

Yang Qingyuan can be sure that Tang Taiyue has the aura of a protagonist to some extent.

"Since your father died before jumping off the cliff, why didn't you return to Tangmen?"

"After my father jumped off the cliff..." Tang Qingfeng was stunned for a moment, "My mother rescued me on the boat..."

Yang Qingyuan heard this and called him a good guy. He was seriously injured and jumped off a cliff but could not die. He fell into the water and was rescued to meet his beautiful woman.

This is the perfect protagonist template!

"Although my father's life was not injured, the poison in his body was constantly eroding his meridians. The true energy that devoured my father was competing with the power of Shennong's Baicao Pill. Finally, the true energy in my father's body was exhausted, and the water of the Styx was no longer sustainable. My father also

Therefore, all martial arts are lost."

"..." Yang Qingyuan decided to take back what he just said.

Tang Taiyue has a bit of a protagonist template, but not much!

"When my father woke up, it was already two months later, and he followed my mother's ship to the south of the Yangtze River. At that time, my father had lost all his martial arts skills, and he knew that even if he forced his way back to Shu, he would be killed by conspirators.

He took it into his hands and settled down in the land south of the Yangtze River. My father doesn’t know what happened next!”

Yang Qingyuan also heard about what happened next.

There was a large-scale internal fight within the Tang Sect. The two strongest forces in the Tang Sect branch faced each other tit for tat, and they fought to the bitter end. In the end, Tang Zhang, who was originally unshowy, took advantage.

But there was nothing we could do. At that time, Tang Zhang was the only Yuan Hua realm warrior left. Who else could we choose if we didn’t choose him?!

"Then have you ever investigated what happened back then in these years?!"

Tang Qingfeng put away the folding fan and said with a bitter smile, "Of course I have checked, but the matter has been a long time ago, and most of the senior officials who actually experienced the Tang Sect chaos have died, so there is no way to investigate."

After listening to Tang Qingfeng's words, Yang Qingyuan had new clues and inferences.

Although he has no new evidence, there is a famous saying in criminal investigation - "The biggest beneficiary is the biggest suspect."
