Mushroom Man

Chapter 169 Reversing the Heavenly Gang, My Master Zhuge Huowang!
"Six-turn Mushroom Immortal, Zhuge Huowang?!"

Upon hearing this, Master Gu was shaken to his core, and his expression changed drastically.

However, he quickly realized what was happening and gave Wu Liang a strange look.

"Young friend, do you know what you're saying?"

"It's not like I haven't heard of this immortal's deeds. You can't just make up stories like this."

"It is said that Zhuge Huowang is a member of the Holy Sect."

"If you are his disciple, doesn't that mean you are also a member of the Holy Church?"

As Gu Zhenren finished speaking, he couldn't help but let out a cold laugh to himself.

“Young friend, if you don’t want to become my disciple, that’s fine. I won’t force you. There’s no need to lie to scare me.”

"If you were a disciple of that holy immortal, why would you be living in such a small tribe?"

Clearly, Bone Master did not believe Wu Liang's words at all.

It's utterly ridiculous that Wu Liang claims to be a disciple of the Holy Immortal.

No one with a brain would believe Wu Liang's nonsense.

Needless to say, as a fifth-level mushroom master, Bone Master's vision and shrewdness far surpass those of ordinary people.

If he could be fooled by Wu Liang's words, then something strange would happen.

In his opinion……

If Wu Liangruo is the disciple of Zhuge Huowang, the immortal of the Holy Sect, then he, Bone True Man, is the Nine Revolutions Venerable!
It's basically a competition of who can brag the most; it's not like he can't brag.

"Ugh……"

Wu Liang looked at the disbelieving Bone Immortal and immediately sighed.

He knew, of course, that words alone wouldn't fool this guy.

Fortunately, he had anticipated this.

Wu Liang took out a letter from his pocket, tossed it to Bone Master, and then spoke calmly.

"Whether you believe it or not, it has nothing to do with me."

"However, senior is right about one thing: I am indeed a member of the Holy Church."

"I live here in seclusion solely for the sake of the Holy Church's grand plan..."

Gu Zhenren subconsciously took the letter and glanced at it.

In an instant, even the deathly aura emanating from his entire body trembled.

"The Holy Religion descends upon the earth, and the people rise up."

"Xuan Huang was born, and the Heavenly Lord appeared."

The letter began with these few lines of large characters.

It is obvious that this is the letter of recommendation from the Holy Church that Wu Liang had obtained from Abbot Shanren.

"Young friend, are you truly a member of the Holy Sect?"

Gu Zhenren was greatly shocked and looked at Wu Liang in disbelief.

In his early years, he had witnessed a high-ranking Buddhist monk killing a mushroom master of the Holy Sect.

The Buddhist monk found the same Holy Church letter on the Holy Church master's body.

Under these circumstances, no matter how much Gu Zhenren didn't believe it, he was now fairly convinced of Wu Liang's identity.

After all, unless you're a member of the Holy Church or have seen a Holy Church letter by chance, no one else would know how to forge this thing.

Of course, no one would think of counterfeiting this thing.

The Holy Church is universally condemned and is intolerable to all within the nine heavens and four continents.

Who would have the time to forge a religious letter?

Isn't that like an old man hanging himself to commit suicide?

Only then did Master Gu's expression turn serious, and he began to regard Wu Liang, whom he had previously disregarded, as someone to be wary of.

In his view, since this boy possessed the faith of the Holy Church, he was most likely a member of the Holy Church.

Although this doesn't necessarily mean that Zhuge Huowang, the Holy Sect Immortal, is this boy's master, it's enough to make him wary.

It should be known that the Holy Sect is spread across the four continents and nine heavens, and even when everyone is calling for its destruction, it can still stir up trouble in all directions.

This shows just how terrifying the Holy Church truly is.

Such a force is not one that ordinary mushroom masters can afford to offend.

Not to mention, this kid dared to openly reveal his Holy Church identity in front of him.

And he acted as if he didn't care at all, as if nothing was wrong.

Clearly, this kid must have some kind of backing, and he's not afraid of him at all, even though he's a fifth-level mushroom master who's been reduced to a hairy zombie.

At the same time, Wu Liang looked at Bone Master's appearance and sneered inwardly.

It seems that his quick thinking in borrowing the Holy Church's name has indeed made this guy wary.

That's right!

Wu Liang claimed to be a member of the Holy Sect this time in order to make Bone Master wary.

Only in this way can we, to some extent, dispel the filthy thoughts in the heart of this former fifth-level mushroom master.

As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves missing you.

Wu Liang, a second-level mushroom master, might encounter some trouble if he didn't have the background to keep Gu Zhenren in check.

If that's the case, we might as well use the Holy Church's name to our advantage.

Judging from the appearance of this Bone Immortal now, it seems that he has almost completely believed in his identity.

At that moment, a plan spontaneously arose in Wu Liang's mind.

He looked at Bone Master and said meaningfully, "Of course, this junior never lies."

"This letter of recommendation from the Holy Sect was specially given to me by my master, Zhuge Huowang, who asked me to find a suitable talent for the Holy Sect."

Master Gu, clutching the Holy Sect's letter of recommendation, gleamed with a sharp light upon hearing this and asked, "Young friend, do you perhaps mean...?"

“That’s right!” Wu Liang ignored what he was thinking, flicked his fox fur cloak, and looked at Bone Master.

"Senior, weren't you just curious about how I discovered that you still possess intelligence?"

"To be honest, I knew about you a long time ago, which is why I spent a lot of money to buy you."

These words immediately caused a great uproar in Master Bone's heart.

However, this is not the end.

Wu Liang nodded slightly and continued talking eloquently.

"When my master sent me to Bajiao Mountain, he used his knowledge to calculate that you and I are destined to be together."

"My master told me personally..."

“There was a fifth-level mushroom master named Gu Zhenren who was cheated by a fifth-level mushroom master named Shanren Fangzhang in Cimu River, Zhaodi Town.”

"That caused the Bone Immortal, whose lifespan was nearing its end, to originally want to use the fourth-stage jumping zombie mushroom to transform into a fourth-stage white bone corpse."

"As a result, because the Jumping Mushroom was fake, the killing move went wrong, and I was forced to become a third-stage Corpse Mushroom."

"He lost his mind, fell into the Cimu River, and drifted to Bajiao Mountain."

"My master instructed me to find you, senior, and present you with this letter of recommendation to help me complete the great plan of the Holy Church!"

After hearing Wu Liang's words, Gu Zhenren was horrified and his heart trembled!
If Wu Liang's earlier revelation of his Holy Sect identity was merely something that made him wary...

Now, after hearing the whole story, all that remained in Master Bone's heart was fear!
Scary!

It's really scary!
At this moment, no one could understand how terrified Master Bone was.

The things Wu Liang just said were all things that only he himself knew.

He never mentioned even the slightest thing to anyone about his original intention to become a fourth-level skeleton corpse.

This matter is known only to Heaven, Earth, and himself.

Moreover, the skeleton he wanted to transform into was something he had created on the spot that very day.

Logically speaking, no one should know the name "White Bone Corpse".

But now, this very thing has happened...

And that's not all.

Wu Liang did more than just state his original plan.

He also recounted in great detail how he was deceived, fell into the Cimu River, and drifted to Bajiao Mountain.

This is too exaggerated!
Could it be that this kid really wasn't lying?

His master was really that holy immortal Zhuge Huowang.
Even so, shouldn't it be more exaggerated to know even the details so clearly?

As far as he knew, even the Wise Immortal Mushroom, who wanted to deduce the secrets of heaven, did not know such details and everything.

For a moment, Bone Master was greatly shocked.

At this moment, he completely believed in the immortal master that Wu Liang had mentioned.

After all, who but the celestial beings could possess such unimaginable power?
"senior……"

What do you think?

Seeing that he remained silent for a long time, Wu Liang immediately raised the corners of his mouth slightly and spoke.

This moment is just like that moment.

No one could have imagined that Bone Master had just said the same thing to him.

In the blink of an eye, the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches were reversed, and it was his turn to ask what they thought.

It's safe to say that this is truly worthy of being called a Rank 6 Immortal Mushroom!
Such a method of easily learning other people's secrets is simply appalling.

It took Bone Master a long time to recover his senses.

He looked at the letter of recommendation from the Holy Church in his hand and felt it was burning hot.

Bone Master forced a smile and said, "Young friend, you think too highly of me."

"What virtue or ability do I possess to deserve such favor from the immortals?"

"Since you have become a disciple of an immortal, your skills must be superior to mine."

"I am now half-dead, like a stray dog. How could I possibly be qualified to become a member of the Holy Church..."

Upon hearing this, Wu Liang shook his head.

Why should you belittle yourself, senior?

“Since my master says that you should join my Holy Sect and lend me a hand, then you must be qualified.”

As he spoke of this place, he glanced at Bone Master with a half-smile.

Upon seeing this, Master Gu understood immediately that he had no right to refuse.

After all, the immortal had spoken the golden words, instructing him to help this boy join the Holy Cult.

If he refuses, wouldn't that be disrespectful to the immortal?

The consequences of angering the immortal were far beyond what he could bear.

"Senior, don't worry. Although our sect has a bad reputation, our members are all a loving family, and the benefits are extremely generous."

"As long as you help me, senior, to complete the great plan of the Holy Church, you will surely reap the benefits."

"Things like the Immortal Mushroom Recipe, opportunities to ascend to immortality, and so on—my sect has them all..."

Wu Liang spoke casually, as if it were nothing out of the ordinary.

Upon hearing about ascending to immortality and the recipe for the Immortal Mushroom, even the living dead man, Gu Zhenren, couldn't help but breathe rapidly.

At that moment, he suddenly felt that joining the Holy Church was not a bad thing, but rather a tremendous opportunity!

Since you can't refuse, you might as well pledge your loyalty now and maybe you'll actually get a chance to ascend to immortality!

Upon realizing this, Master Bone immediately ceased his hesitation and spoke in a deep voice, "To be honest..."

"I have long admired the Holy Church, but I regret that I have never had the opportunity."

"If you do not despise me, young friend, I am willing to serve the Holy Church with my life!"
