Chapter 183: Tang San, Who Talks About Principles? He's Just Hypocritical!
For this, Dugu Bo had no choice.
Because the Phosphorus Family's deepest and most direct connection to Tang San was with him, and now his life was nearing its end.
If he couldn't obtain a solution from Tang San for the Phosphorus Poison before his death,
It would be even harder for his granddaughter Dugu Yan and a number of his great-grandchildren to find a cure for the Phosphorus Poison from Tang San.
However, Dugu Bo was quite confident that he would be able to obtain a solution to the Phosphorus Poison from Tang San.
After all, his relationship with Tang San was still very deep, and he had also offered the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye to Tang San.
Considering all these factors, a recipe to help solve the Phosphorus Poison shouldn't be too difficult to acquire!
However, seeing himself so confident in the live broadcast, Dugu Bo couldn't shake the feeling that something wasn't quite right.
Earlier, when he saw that Tang San had made things difficult for him over the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye and refused to treat his great-grandchildren's Phosphorus Poison,
Only when he agreed to give up the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye did Tang San relent.
Dugu Bo was already quite angry at this point.
It made him angrier than when he had first thought that Tang San, along with the Haotian Douluo Tang Hao, had taken all the immortal herbs from his Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye.
After all, in the live broadcast, he had become a close friend of Tang San and had helped him quite a lot.
Yet now, Tang San, because of his desire for the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye, had discarded all the previous friendship and made things difficult for him.
Was this the kind of person who could become a god?
He'd rather say Tang San had become a beast!
In the live broadcast, he regretted having ever brought Tang San to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye. He should have just crushed this boy on the spot back then!
And now, in the future, even after all of this, the Phosphorus Family would still perish.
Dugu Bo could almost foresee the future.
Afterward, Tang San would still not provide a solution for "him" to cure the Phosphorus Poison, and after his death, the Phosphorus Family would slowly perish due to the lingering effects of the Phosphorus Poison.
And, as Dugu Bo had predicted, this was exactly what happened.
In the live broadcast, when Dugu Bo finally found Tang San in Holy Soul Village and requested, based on their past friendship, that Tang San teach him how to use medicine to solve the Phosphorus Poison for the Phosphorus Family,
Tang San sighed and responded,
"Sorry! I, Tang San, am a person with principles. The method to solve the Phosphorus Poison is a secret technique of the Tang Sect. I cannot casually teach it to others."
Hearing Tang San's words, Dugu Bo immediately became anxious, hurriedly stating,
"Am I not an elder of the Tang Sect?"
"By rights, I should be qualified to receive this method. If that's not possible, I can have the Phosphorus Family join the Tang Sect as an affiliated sect, just like the four great families!"
In order to ensure the survival of the Phosphorus Family,
At this moment, Dugu Bo had completely abandoned the autonomy and independence of the Phosphorus Family.
However, despite his words, Tang San still shook his head and refused, stating that since the Phosphorus Family had not truly become disciples of the Tang Sect, he could not teach them the method to solve the Phosphorus Poison.
In Tang San's heart, there was no psychological burden at all when refusing Dugu Bo.
After all, Dugu Bo had joined the Tang Sect late, and according to the standards from Tang San's previous life, he was just an outsider in the Tang Sect, a guest disciple, and not a true member of the Tang Sect.
Anyone who hadn't been part of the Tang Sect from a young age, learning the Xuantian Skill, could not be considered a true member, or an inner disciple of the Tang Sect.
And regarding the method to solve the Phosphorus Poison, since it was a secret technique of the Tang Sect, it naturally had to be taught only to inner disciples of the Tang Sect.
But when Dugu Bo heard that Tang San refused to grant him his dying wish and instead kept talking about principles, he was so angry that he almost spat blood.
Having fully seen Tang San's true nature, Dugu Bo angrily stopped begging him and chose to leave. He returned to Tiandou Imperial City, and not long after, he passed away.
Afterward, because he couldn't obtain the method to solve the Phosphorus Poison, the Phosphorus Family, with the poison still lingering, gradually dwindled in numbers and eventually perished.
The time was frozen at that moment.
After watching the live broadcast, Lin Yu couldn't help but sneer, not at all surprised.
Although he hadn't guessed all the details of the broadcast, he was correct about the core reason for the Phosphorus Family's destruction—because Tang San coveted the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye!
Initially, Lin Yu had thought that Dugu Bo had voluntarily offered the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye to Tang San after Tang San became a god.
But after watching the live broadcast, Lin Yu realized he had overthought it.
The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye, which could suppress the Phosphorus Poison, was extremely important to the Phosphorus Family, and Dugu Bo wouldn't voluntarily offer it to Tang San.
But in the end, Tang San had managed to take the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye from Dugu Bo through force.
Later, when Dugu Bo was nearing the end of his life, he asked Tang San for the method to solve the Phosphorus Poison. Tang San's refusal didn't surprise Lin Yu.
After all, Tang San, with his so-called principles, refused to help even his so-called good friend, Ma Hongjun, by not allowing Bai Chenxiang into the divine realm.
Tang San, with his dual godhood, as both the Sea God and the Shura God, could take up to four people into the divine realm—two for each of his god positions.
Yet, Tang San only brought Xiao Wu and Ah Yin . It seemed like Tang Hao had cultivated to become a god on his own, and even if you counted Tang Hao, there was still one more slot left.
Yet Tang San, who could have taken Bai Chenxiang, refused to, citing principles as the excuse.
But Lin Yu saw it clearly—it was simply about the benefits.
Tang San probably thought Bai Chenxiang had no potential, and Ma Hongjun was only a second-level god.
If he gave the slot to Bai Chenxiang, it would be difficult to explain to his close relations—Master Yu Xiaogang, Uncle Tang Xiao, Aunt Tang Yuehua, as well as Ji Xiang and Xue Beng, his disciples.
So, Tang San didn't want to take Bai Chenxiang and used principles as an excuse.
But Lin Yu found it laughable.
Tang San talks about principles?
Who was the one who schemed against the Three-Eyed Golden Lion during the Douluo competition, tortured Huo Yuhao, and, as a law enforcement god, personally intervened in Douluo Continent?
That was utterly disgusting and hypocritical!
However, when it came to Dugu Bo, Tang San's so-called principles, in Lin Yu's view, were just an excuse to hide his desire to seize the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye.
Once the Phosphorus Family perished, no one would know the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye belonged to the Phosphorus Family, and everyone would think it was part of the Tang Sect.
But now, the truth Tang San tried so hard to hide had been exposed.
For this, Lin Yu could only mock him with a cold laugh.
