Chapter 162 I've Found You, the Scam is Over

Chapter 162 I've Found You, the Scam is Over
Wu Liang had not forgotten that there was another successor of the Wuxiang lineage among them, who was likely nearby.

If we can find him, we will have options, whether to cooperate or to seize the Wuxiang Token from him.

Knowing yourself and knowing your enemy can help you win a hundred battles.

Wu Liang narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing everyone with his gaze.

Although the faces of the people were not clearly visible due to the scam, some clues could be gleaned from their words and actions.

First are the 'scholar' and the young master.'

These two guys don't seem like mushroom growers from the Bajiaoshan area at all, judging from their words and actions.

The area surrounding Bajiaoshan is inhabited by people with a fierce and unruly character, and most mushroom growers speak rudely.

The 'young master' clearly comes from an extraordinary background, so he was ruled out first.

As for 'scholar', that's even less likely.

Bajiao Mountain is located on the western border of the region, near the boundary wall of the North Sea.

The information revealed by the 'scholar' was related to the Southern Wilderness.

Without considering any other complicated reasons, this guy doesn't seem like the Wuxiang successor from near Bajiao Mountain.

Meanwhile, as Wu Liang silently pondered and scrutinized everyone...

Suddenly, someone spoke, attracting Wu Liang's attention.

"Brother Bai, do not worry..."

"If we can't go to the Southern Wilderness, then we'll go to the Northern Sea."

"As far as I know, the immortals and Buddhists in the Western Regions are all extremely busy these days."

"It may not be possible to seal off all the borders leading to the North Sea in a short period of time."

The man spoke calmly, his tone even.

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes flickered, and they couldn't help but look at this person.

Bai Lai's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "Brother... what do you mean by that?"

The man nodded slightly, and without keeping them in suspense, said, "To be honest, I am a member of the Holy Sect."

"I imagine that you all have some understanding of my teachings, more or less."

"Because of the birth of the successor of the Formless One, our Holy Sect has also begun to be active in the Western Regions."

"Not long ago, our brother Wu Liang caused quite a stir in Zhaodi Town, attracting a high-ranking Buddhist monk."

"It was I who taught the immortal to take action and resolve the future troubles for them."

"Our Holy Church stands with all of you successors and also desires the emergence of the Formless Treasure House."

"Nowadays, whether they are immortals or Buddhist monks, they are already busy and overwhelmed under the control of my Holy Sect."

"In a short time, those mushroom masters and immortals probably can't possibly lay down a net that covers the entire Western Regions..."

hiss!
There were even members of the Holy Church among them?!
The people present were all extraordinary individuals, and most of them were well-informed.

They all knew, to varying degrees, just how terrifying the Holy Church was.

The followers of the Holy Church are spread across the four continents and nine heavens, and are said to be like wildfire that cannot be extinguished and will spring back to life with the spring breeze.

With the help of the Holy Sect, it is indeed possible to stop all the mushroom masters in the world and prevent the Mushroom Immortal from taking action in a short period of time.

Even a few people who were unaware of the Holy Church could glean some clues from the reactions of the crowd.

Without exception, everyone looked at this person with a hint of apprehension.

"This guy……"

Wu Liang frowned as he looked at the person from the Holy Sect.

As far as he knew, the Holy Church worshipped the yet-to-be-born Xuanhuang Great Heavenly Venerable, and was extremely hostile to the old venerable who created the Nine Heavens.

The Hun Tian of Wu Xiang Tian Zun is also located in the Nine Heavens.

Logically speaking, the Holy Church shouldn't have offered assistance to these Formless Successors.

How come a member of the Holy Sect has suddenly appeared among the successors of the Formless Sect?

Furthermore, the Holy Sect also restrained the mushroom immortals and mushroom masters of the Western Regions on behalf of these Formless successors.

If someone didn't know better, they might think the Holy Sect was the power of the Formless Celestial Venerable.

What are these guys trying to achieve by going through all this trouble for nothing?
Perhaps it was because of Doctor Mo.

Wu Liang had absolutely no good feelings towards the Holy Church.

At that moment, they suddenly learned that the Holy Church was helping them, the inheritors of the Formless lineage.

His first thought was that something was fishy, something was wrong.

The others had only heard of the Holy Church to varying degrees, and did not know as much about it as Wu Liang did.

Then, when this person said that the Holy Church was helping all the Formless Successors,

While everyone was wary, they were also overjoyed.

Currently, only four of the Formless Successors have spoken...

They are respectively 'Scholar', 'Young Master', Bai Lai, and a member of the Holy Sect.

Excluding Wu Liang, there are three people left out of the remaining four.

Upon learning that one of them was a member of the Holy Sect, the three immediately inquired about the remaining channels to reach the North Sea.

Some asked if they could take the official road, while others asked if they could follow the caravan.

Without exception, all of these were rejected by that member of the Holy Church.

According to him, nowadays, people are only allowed to enter the Western Regions, but not leave.

Official roads have been blocked, and caravans and similar businesses are not only unable to leave, but will also be subject to strict investigation.

Now, if they want to leave the Western Regions, they have no choice but to find another way, to take an unconventional path that others have not thought of.

Based on this, one of the three spoke up and asked a question, which instantly made Wu Liang's spirits lift.

"Sir, since the ground is impassable, is it possible to travel underground?"

Although the person's voice was hoarse, it was clear that they were a woman.

The member of the Holy Church paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "I'm not entirely sure about that..."

"This young lady probably wants to leave the Western Regions using the ley lines, right?"

Upon hearing this, the woman nodded without hesitation or any attempt to hide anything.

Upon seeing this, the members of the Holy Church pondered for a moment, then spoke with a smile.

"If that's the case, then perhaps I can ask the immortals of my sect if those Western Region mushroom immortals have laid any traps in the earth's veins." "However, the prerequisite is that we can meet again through this deception next time..."

The conversation between the two reached Wu Liang's ears, causing a fleeting glint of light to flash in his eyes.

Got you!

Wu Liang glanced at the woman who had just spoken and instantly locked onto his target.

If he guessed correctly, this woman was the Wuxiang successor near Bajiao Mountain!

As for why it was her, the reason is quite simple...

Of all the disciples of the Formless lineage present, only she mentioned leaving the Western Regions through the earth's veins.

As is widely known, there is a centipede that roams the earth in Bajiao Mountain, capable of entering the earth's veins.

When there are too many coincidences, they are no longer coincidences.

Wu Liang was 70% certain that this woman was the successor of the Wuxiang lineage near Bajiao Mountain.

Furthermore, judging from his attempt to leave the Western Regions via the ley lines, it's highly likely that he didn't actually come after causing the commotion.

Even now, this guy might very well be in Bajiao Mountain!
Otherwise, she wouldn't have brought up the concept of ley lines at this time.

"It seems this guy is just as interested in that roaming centipede as I am."

"This guy is currently at Bajiao Mountain, but who exactly is he?"

As Wu Liang pondered this question in his mind, he inexplicably thought of Morobi, who had recently been adopted by the Black Horn leader.

The reason he was reminded of Morobi was simply because they were both women; there was nothing else to it.

However, if it really is Morobi...

Isn't she being a little too high-profile?
Wu Liang seemed lost in thought, as if deep in contemplation.

When he came to his senses, he realized that everyone's eyes had been focused on him.

The reason is simple...

Everyone spoke, exchanging information to varying degrees.

Wu Liang remained silent, which naturally attracted everyone's attention.

Moreover, in everyone's eyes, Wu Liang had been scrutinizing them with an extremely aggressive gaze from the very beginning.

This feeling gave them the impression that they were being watched by some terrifying being, which inexplicably sent chills down their spines.

Clearly, Wu Liang's constant scrutiny of everyone had led these disciples of the Formless Sect to misunderstand something.

The reason why everyone felt a chill when he targeted them was entirely due to the fragments of Blood River Ancestor's memories.

That's right!

The effects of those two fragments of Blood River Ancestor's memory are still present.

However, it's more like a natural change that comes from Wu Liang merging with the memories, rather than an influence.

This is all thanks to the Blood River Ancestor's indiscriminate killing.

In just two fragments of memory, hundreds or even thousands of people died at the hands of the Blood River Ancestor.

When Wu Liang merges these memories, it is, in a sense, equivalent to him killing hundreds or thousands of people.

A serial killer with thousands of lives on his hands would undoubtedly make people feel uncomfortable if he didn't deliberately conceal his gaze.

"I wonder if this gentleman has any information we can exchange?"

"If not, chatting casually is fine too."

The young master spoke with a smile, breaking the silence.

Upon hearing this, Wu Liang, sensing the gazes of the crowd, spoke calmly.

"I have only one thing to say to you all."

"Those who are without form will be attracted to each other."

Even now, some people are approaching the Southern Wilderness, while others are approaching the Northern Sea.

"We will all meet again one day for various reasons."

"I hope that one day, you will all be alive enough to meet again..."

Wu Liang's voice echoed in everyone's ears, neither hurried nor slow.

The secret he spoke of came from the former sixth-generation mushroom immortal, the spirit of the Demon Suppression Tower, the 'Will of No Form', the Blood River Ancestor.

Compared to the well-informed successors of the Formless lineage, this was the only secret he could offer.

However, this secret is not simple.

Not just anyone can know this; even the immortals in heaven probably have no idea about it.

Only the Blood River Ancestor, who had met the Formless Celestial Venerable, knew about this.

Upon hearing this, everyone's spirits immediately lifted.

Are the successors of the Formless lineage attracted to each other and met for various reasons?
This……

This probably involves luck and manipulation, right?
This was the first time anyone had heard of this, and the way they looked at Wu Liang subtly changed.

Where does this guy come from?
How could they even know something like this?

They are both successors of the Formless lineage, so why don't they know about this?

Everyone's eyes flickered, and in their minds, they had already placed Wu Liang in the same category as the 'scholar' who knew about the deception.

Of all the people, only these two resemble the reincarnation of the Formless Celestial Venerable.

It seems I need to pay more attention in the future...

And at the same time, what a coincidence!

Not long after Wu Liang finished speaking, the scam began to dissipate.

The figures of the crowd grew increasingly blurry, clearly indicating that the scam was about to end.

This discovery, unwittingly, deepened everyone's suspicions about Wu Liang.

After all, when others talk about it, nothing happens.

But the scam ended right after he finished speaking.

There's no coincidence as perfect as this, is there?
