Douluo Continent: I've joined forces with Tang San and taken Xiao Wu as my concubine!

Chapter 91, Standoff

Seeing this, Flanders quickly stepped forward to explain.

"No, no, Your Excellency Poison Douluo, Xiao Gang absolutely did not mean that. He was just afraid that you would misunderstand and wanted to understand the whole story from you."

Upon hearing Flander's explanation, Dugu Bo snorted coldly and withdrew the pressure on the master.

Meng Bei didn't pay much attention to the master's disheveled state.

He was more concerned about how Tang San became an evil soul master.

So he asked Dugu Bo.

"Grandfather-in-law, what exactly happened to my third brother? How did he become an evil spirit master?"

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo replied irritably:

"How would I know the specifics? It was the Cardinal of the Spirit Hall who led his men to capture this kid on the spot while he was committing the crime. The Spirit Hall's men were about to take him to the City of Slaughter when I ran into them on my way here. I only took it upon myself to spare his face and get him released because you have some connection with him. Otherwise, I wouldn't have bothered with him at all!"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Tang San in surprise.

Dugu Bo's words were reasonable and well-founded. Could it be that what he said was true, and Tang San really did become an evil soul master?

Meng Bei then thanked Dugu Bo, saying:

"Thank you for your concern, Father-in-law."

Dugu Bo gave a faint "hmm" and said nothing more.

Tang San was also freed from his restraints by the others.

He got up from the ground somewhat awkwardly, and seeing the concerned looks in everyone's eyes, Tang San lowered his head in shame.

The master and the others immediately asked Tang San:

"Mistress, is what Poison Douluo said true?"

"What exactly happened? Did someone from the Spirit Hall frame you?"

"You definitely didn't do those things, right?"

As questions came one after another, Tang San lowered his head further and further.

Finally, having exhausted all other options, he could only reply in a low voice:

"What Senior Poison Douluo said... is true."

These words were a bolt from the blue for Grandmaster and others who trusted Tang San the most.

The Shrek members couldn't believe it.

"What?!"

"How is this possible!"

"Why, why did you kill him!"

Tang San lowered his head, filled with remorse, and said:

"I didn't mean to kill anyone. My things were missing, and I just wanted to investigate, but they wouldn't cooperate with me..."

The master, his eyes reddening, said:

"But you can't kill people! You killed so many people just for something? What could it be that was so important!"

Tang San stammered and couldn't say anything after hearing this.

He didn't want to reveal information about the immortal herb, so in the end he only reluctantly said that it was some kind of medicinal herb.

However, what Tang San didn't know was that Meng Bei had already told everyone about the immortal herb. So when Tang San finished talking about the herb, everyone's expression changed.

Dai Mubai immediately stepped forward excitedly and asked:

"Is it those hundred herbs you picked from Xiaobei?"

Tang San looked surprised: "How did you know?"

Upon hearing this, the crowd erupted into chaos.

Tang San's herbs were stolen, which meant that everyone's hopes for many days had been in vain.

In an instant, everyone surrounded Tang San, some disbelieving, some questioning, and the scene became chaotic. Meng Bei even felt that if it weren't for their past relationship, they would probably strip Tang San naked and try to find the traces of those immortal herbs.

He didn't disturb Tang San and the others, but instead led Ning Fengzhi and the others into the house to talk.

During this time, he also told Dugu Bo about the immortal herb and informed him that the poison in Dugu Yan's body had been cured.

At the same time, Ning Rongrong's martial soul was also informed of its evolution to Ning Fengzhi.

The joy of everyone upon hearing this news goes without saying.

But while some are happy, others are sad, and Tang San was filled with sorrow at this moment.

At this moment, he was really struggling to cope with the questions and accusations from everyone.

However, after a series of questions and conversations, he managed to figure out some of the situation.

That is, after he left, Meng Bei and the others consumed the immortal herb, and their soul power broke through.

That's why everyone at Shrek Academy believed that the hundred herbs he took away all had the same effect, and now that he's lost them, they're all so anxious.

After figuring out the cause of the matter, Tang San pondered it repeatedly and quickly discovered the strangeness of the situation.

That means he has already taken all the immortal herbs. On Meng Bei's side, only Dugu Yan should have broken through due to consuming the immortal herbs, but according to everyone's description, Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong also broke through.

This inevitably aroused Tang San's suspicion.

Meng Bei told everyone that the herb he gave Rongrong and Xiaowu was a magical herb left behind by Dugu Bo.

However, Tang San did not believe it. Based on what Dai Mubai and others said, he deduced that the day Ning Rongrong and the others broke through was the same day he was ambushed and knocked unconscious. What a coincidence!

From this, Tang San deduced that the person who knocked him unconscious that day was Meng Bei.

He had two questions in his mind.

One question is, how did the person who stole his herb know that he was carrying a herb?

Very few people knew about this. Tang San had previously thought that he had given himself away when he passed through the town, attracting attention and thus being robbed.

That's why the story of Tang San slaughtering the various Soul Master families in the town happened later.

Strangely, Tang San investigated several nearby families over the past few days, even resorting to the Tang Clan's cruel tortures to kill people, but ultimately failed to obtain any useful information.

Now it seems that if this matter was Meng Beiqian's doing, then this first point of doubt can be explained.

Secondly, there is a second point of doubt: the person who stole his immortal herb clearly had the ability to kill him, but only knocked him unconscious!

This is something Tang San has never understood.

Now it seems that if Meng Bei was the one who did it, then it can be explained.

It must be that Dugu Yan absorbed the immortal herb much faster than he expected, which led Meng Bei to know the herb's effects in advance.

Meng Bei then regretted giving him those magical herbs.

So Meng Bei followed the trail of his departure and found his hiding place, and stole the immortal herb.

Tang San realized he knew the truth, and his eyes immediately turned bloodshot.

He suddenly roared,

"Meng Bei, Meng Bei!"

The angry voice startled everyone.

"What's wrong?"

The crowd asked in confusion.

Tang San then angrily voiced his suspicions.

Everyone was shocked upon hearing this.

Flanders repeatedly advised:

"Mistress, we can understand that your precious medicine is missing, but you can't just make things up without evidence!"

Tang San replied:

"I have evidence. Didn't Meng Bei say he had two herbs left? All my herbs are rare and precious, with only one of each kind. Ask Meng Bei to show me the two herbs he has. If they match the herbs I lost, then it's undoubtedly him who did it!"
