Mushroom Man

Chapter 176 The Holy Religion Preserves Honor, the Merit of Following the Dragon

No successor to the Formless One...

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the field froze instantly.

An indescribable feeling of suffocation gradually spread.

Morobi, whose face was as cold as frost, suddenly tilted her head and grinned.

"LOL, really?"

"Likewise, I've found you too, successor of the Formless..."

Morobi was not a brainless woman with big breasts, nor was she just a brute with muscles.

She also guessed Wu Liang's identity.

After all, Wu Liang's ever-changing and unpredictable methods have, to some extent, revealed his identity.

Although she may change her appearance and not necessarily be the successor of Wuxiang, Wu Liang recognized her identity, so he must be the successor of Wuxiang.

After all, Morobi never claimed to be the successor of the Formless lineage, and she didn't even use the methods of the Formless lineage inheritance much.

The only flaw is the image created by the Image Mushroom outside.

However, ordinary people simply cannot determine that she is the successor of the Wuxiang lineage based on just a video clip.

Only someone who is also a disciple of the Formless lineage could possibly recognize him.

"Looks like you came here specifically to see me."

"What, you want to fight?"

Morobi narrowed her eyes slightly, her tone revealing a hint of eagerness.

Behind her, the phantom of beastly power loomed in and out, emanating an extremely dangerous aura.

In her view, Wu Liang went to great lengths to find her simply because he wanted to seize the Wuxiang Token.

The reason I was exposed and attracted this attention was probably because I accidentally leaked some information during the scam.

After Morobi figured this out, she was not afraid at all; on the contrary, she became even more excited.

She had long wanted to test just how capable those fellow inheritors of the Formless lineage were.

Unexpectedly, she has actually found an opportunity.

"Ah……"

Upon seeing this, Wu Liang chuckled softly.

The next moment, he transformed once again into the handsome, angular Third Young Master, draped in a fox fur cloak.

He also removed the imagery that had been applied to the black coffin.

In an instant, the previously inconspicuous bone decorations behind him transformed into a black coffin exuding an aura of death.

The third young master of the White Horn Tribe...

When Morobi saw his appearance, she raised an eyebrow slightly, but didn't pay much attention to it.

Instead, her attention was drawn to the black coffin.

Morobi could sense that there seemed to be something very dangerous inside that black coffin.

However, she felt that this level of danger was acceptable.

"Is this your confidence?"

"If that's the case, then bring it on."

"Let me see what you're really made of, you coward pretending to be a crying child."

Morobi was full of fighting spirit, rubbing her hands together, and was quite impatient.

"Miss Morobi, why are you in such a hurry?"

"I'm not here to fight, but to cooperate with you."

Wu Liang waved his hand and spoke calmly.

The reason he revealed the black coffin was merely to show that he was not an ordinary second-stage mushroom master.

He had no interest in getting into a fight with them at this time.

Whether they can win is another matter, but if they attract the mushroom masters of the Blackhorn tribe, that would be troublesome.

"It's you?"

At the same time, when Morobi heard Wu Liang refer to himself as "this humble one" and heard that deep, hoarse voice, her eyes suddenly narrowed.

That's right, at this moment, Wu Liang is not using his own voice.

Instead, it uses the onomatopoeic mushroom to simulate the voice of the member of the Holy Church in the scam.

"I have come here specifically to represent the Holy Church and sincerely invite Miss Morobi to join me in a great undertaking."

Wu Liang neither denied nor admitted it.

But the "holy religion" he spoke of had, in effect, acknowledged that identity.

When Morobi heard Wu Liang invite her to join the Holy Sect, she immediately snorted coldly.

"Holy Church?"

"I'm naturally rebellious and never join any faction."

"I have no interest in your so-called important matters, nor do I want to have anything to do with your Holy Church."

"If you have nothing to do and don't want to fight, then get lost."

Clearly, Morobi was not the type to be subservient to others or obey orders.

The Holy Church's reputation is indeed terrifying, but to think that you can recruit her based on that alone is simply wishful thinking.

Morobi's attitude was extremely bad.

However, Wu Liang did not care, as he had expected this.

After all, if it were him, he wouldn't have so easily believed an invitation from a stranger.

If Morobi had agreed without even thinking, he would have become suspicious.

"Miss Morobi has misunderstood..."

“I know that Miss Morobi’s ambitions do not lie in the Holy Church and she does not wish to be bound by it.”

"Therefore, I did not intend to have Miss Morobi join us."

"What I mean by conspiring together is actually to help Miss Morobi and go to the East together."

Wu Liang spoke up to explain, still able to speak eloquently despite the oppressive aura emanating from Morobi. "In my humble opinion, we, the disciples of Wuxiang, are enemies of the world, but in reality, we are all in the same boat and should support each other."

"In this world, if anyone can help us now, it is only ourselves."

“Nowadays, almost everyone is eyeing us covetously, wanting to kill us and seize the Wuxiang Token.”

"If we remain scattered and fight alone at this critical juncture, we will sooner or later fall into the hands of those immortals."

"Therefore, I immediately contacted Miss Morobi, hoping to cooperate and become friends."

Wu Liang's words were spoken with utmost sincerity.

And the reasoning is clear and straightforward.

In some ways, they are indeed in the same boat.

Instead of fighting amongst themselves and scheming against each other, cooperation and mutual benefit are undoubtedly a better choice.

Of course, all of this is based on the premise that neither of them harbors any ill intentions and that they can trust each other.

"cooperate?"

"Is this your intention, or the intention of the Holy Church?"

Morobi, intrigued, asked in return.

“It contains both my own meaning and the meaning of the Holy Church.” Wu Liang nodded slightly and spoke without hesitation.

"To be honest, my sect is very interested in you all as successors without form."

"However, unlike those righteous forces that want to do evil to the Celestial Venerable, our Holy Sect is a true guardian of the Venerable."

“All of you who are disciples of the Formless lineage may be reincarnations of that Celestial Venerable.”

"My sect prides itself on not daring to oppose the Heavenly Venerable, so I wish to win you all over and help you, the successors of the Formless lineage, to fulfill your wishes and open the Formless Treasure Vault."

"In this way, when the Venerable Wuxiang descends to the world, our sect will have this good fortune, and who knows, it might even bear good fruit. Why not do it?"

Morobi listened to this nonsense and remained silent.

What "respecters" and "good karma and good results"? It's all utter nonsense.

She didn't believe that the Holy Church was so kind as to willingly hand over the Treasure House of No Form.

This guy who claims to be a member of the Holy Church is also a successor of the Formless lineage.

It's impossible that he had no interest in the Void Treasury.

Once these successors of the Formless lineage arrive in the Eastern Land, nine out of ten of them will become enemies.

You must know that's the true teaching of the Nine Revolutions Venerable...

Who would be willing to share with others?

However, before arriving in the Eastern Land, these inheritors of the Formless lineage did not have any vested interests; on the contrary, they had a common enemy.

To some extent, these successors of the Formless lineage can maximize their benefits through cooperation.

"Tell me about your so-called cooperation."

Moro crossed her arms and raised her chin.

Seeing her like this, Wu Liang knew perfectly well that she was already somewhat interested.

“Miss Morobi, you must have heard of our Holy Church to some extent.”

“If Miss Morobi is willing to cooperate with me, the Holy Church behind me can provide many unexpected assistance.”

"At the same time, I will do my best to assist Miss Morobi in venturing out of the Western Regions and entering the sea."

Wu Liang stared wide-eyed and made up a story off the top of his head.

They take big bites of flatbread, regardless of whether they can actually deliver, just to fool people.

"Assist?"

Upon hearing this word, Morobi's gaze fell upon Wu Liang, and her brows furrowed.

"Since your Holy Church is so powerful, why do you insist on cooperating with me?"

"And you are also a disciple of the Formless lineage, how come you have no ambition at all, and are actually willing to assist me?"

"why?"

“I don’t think I have anything that makes your Holy Church care so much.”

Morobi looked suspicious, completely baffled by this.

Wu Liang had already prepared his answer to Morobi's question.

He feigned hesitation, then sighed.

"Very well, then I will not hide anything."

"To be honest, my master is the immortal Zhuge Huowang of the Holy Sect."

"As early as when the successor of Wuxiang was born, he had already calculated that Miss Morobi was very likely the reincarnation of Wuxiang Tianzun."

"I have chosen to seek out Miss Morobi instead of other successors of the Formless lineage, simply because I wish to gain merit by following the emperor's lead."

Upon hearing Wu Liang's words, Morobi's pupils constricted involuntarily.

Clearly, she hadn't expected Wu Liang to utter such an outrageous statement.

What the hell?
Is she the reincarnation of the Formless Celestial Venerable?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Moreover, even if this guy's master is really some kind of holy immortal Zhuge Huowang, what virtue or ability does he have to calculate the identity of the reincarnation of the Heavenly Venerable?
Morobi couldn't stand it anymore; Wu Liang was spouting nonsense and talking utterly absurd.

She couldn't help but speak up immediately: "You bastard, you never tell the truth."

"They kept saying they wanted to cooperate with me, but all they said was utter nonsense."

"How could I possibly be the reincarnation of the Formless Celestial Venerable?"

"Putting aside the fact that I can't possibly be the reincarnation of anyone, even if I were the reincarnation of a certain Celestial Venerable, it could only be..."

Morobi was halfway through her sentence when she suddenly realized that she had said something inappropriate.

She snorted coldly and stopped talking nonsense.

Ok?
Seeing her so confident attitude, Wu Liang frowned almost imperceptibly.

He certainly didn't intend to convince him that he was the reincarnation of a celestial being based on just a few words.

However, the woman's certainty that she was not the reincarnation of a celestial being piqued his curiosity.

It should be noted that Wu Liang was certain that he was not a reincarnation of a Celestial Venerable because he was an extraterrestrial demon.

How did this woman become so certain that she couldn't be the Formless Celestial Venerable, or that she had laid some kind of backup plan?
