Chapter 177 Weighing in Jin 2, Arrogance and Boasting

Chapter 177 Weighing and Judging, Arrogance and Boasting

Wu Liang couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

He glanced at the unfriendly-looking Morobi, smiled faintly, and said, "Miss Morobi, you have truly misunderstood me..."

“I never lie; my master did say that.”

"Since Miss Morobi thinks I am a liar and full of nonsense, then so be it."

"Anyway, the truth will come in time."

Wu Liang spoke with absolute certainty and confidence.

His words and actions clearly indicated that he was convinced that Morobi was the reincarnation of some kind of celestial being.

For Wu Liang, whether Morobi believed him or not was actually not important.

The important thing is to make Morobi believe that he and the Holy Church believe this.

After all, all Wu Liang wanted was to know why he sought to cooperate with her.

And the merit of following the emperor is undoubtedly the most suitable excuse.

"You guy..."

When Moro saw Wu Liang speaking with such conviction, her heart stirred.

Judging from his appearance, he really doesn't seem to be lying.

This guy clearly believes he is the reincarnation of some celestial being.

However, only family members know their own affairs...

Anyone could be the reincarnation of the Formless Celestial Venerable, but she is the only one who cannot be.

Could it be that the holy immortal behind this guy made a mistake when he was deducing the secrets of heaven?

Did they mistake the supreme bloodline flowing through her veins for the reincarnation of the Formless Celestial Venerable?
If that's true, it would explain why this boy was so confident.

From this perspective, it's quite possible that she stumbled upon a lucky break and received the Holy Church's protection by chance.
When Morobi thought of this, her eyes flashed with a sharp light, and her expression softened slightly.

At the same time, seeing that he was somewhat moved, Wu Liang immediately pressed on and continued to make up stories in a sincere tone.

“Miss Morobi does not believe me, which I understand.”

"After all, no one would believe that they are the reincarnation of a celestial being."

"Whether it is or not, does it really matter?"

"Anyway, Miss Morobi, you just need to trust that my sect is truly cooperating sincerely."

"I am willing to assist Miss Morobi."

"This is a free deal for Miss Morobi, why not take it?"

Upon hearing this, Morobi thought about it again and realized that it seemed to be true.

She raised her chin before speaking, "Very well, since you intend to assist me, then let me see what your Holy Church is capable of."

"Didn't you say that your master was some kind of holy immortal?"

"If that's the case, then let your master lead us out of the encirclement and leave the Western Regions."

Upon hearing this, Wu Liang shook his head without even thinking.

He glanced at Morobi with a half-smile and said, "Miss Morobi is joking..."

"If I could have persuaded my master to lead us away from the Western Regions, I would not be here now."

“My master is currently busy concealing the secrets of heaven for us and blocking the immortals descending from the sky. He has no time to spare.”

“If not, my master would have personally appeared to see Miss Morobi.”

"However, my master has already deduced our escape route from the Western Regions."

"As long as we follow their instructions, we should be able to escape danger and survive."

"Oh? What kind of way out are you talking about?" Morobi asked, neither confirming nor denying.

Wu Liang didn't keep them in suspense and said directly, "It's that centipede from the Black Horn Tribe."

"The Western Regions are now heavily blockaded. The only way to escape the Western Regions without the immortals' noses is through the four wonders of the world that cannot be blocked."

"These four wonders are the earth veins, river caves, wind gaps, and the Yangguan Road."

"These four wonders, scattered across the four continents, have nowhere to be found in the wind, and the Yangguan Road is said to have been destroyed. Only the earth veins and river caves are where we can make a move."

"The river caves are intricate and complex. Without the appropriate means, attempting to traverse them for an extended period of time would undoubtedly be suicidal."

"Therefore, the only way out for us is undoubtedly through the earth's veins."

"If I remember correctly, the Black Horn tribe where Miss Morobi lives happens to have a centipede that can traverse the earth's veins..."

Wu Liang revealed his true intentions without any attempt to conceal them.

Upon hearing this, Morobi couldn't help but scoff.

"I thought it was something else, but it turns out we're the same, both thinking about that centipede."

"I've already thought about the way out you're talking about."

"Unfortunately……"

As she spoke, she flipped her hand and took out an object.

It was a thick, large black horn, as tall as half a person!

This is the black horn that the leader of the Black Horns wore on his head.

"Now, the ground centipede is sleeping deep underground in the Black Horn tribe."

"Only when the black-horned leader and the white-horned leader blow their horns at the same time can the wandering centipede be awakened."

"Why do you think I've stayed in this Blackhorn tribe for so long without leaving?"

"Isn't it just that the white horn on the White Horned Leader's head is missing that prevents the Wandering Centipede from being awakened?"

Morobi didn't hide anything and openly revealed her original plan.

Only then did Wu Liang realize the truth.

No wonder the centipede was in the Black Horn tribe, yet Morobi has not been able to escape the Western Regions using it.

It turns out that the horns on the heads of the two leaders are needed to awaken the wandering centipede.

"I see……"

“However, Miss Morobi, if you have the means to kill the Black Horn Leader, then you also have the means to kill the White Horn Leader.”

"If that's the case, why not take force and snatch the remaining white horn from the white horn leader's head?"

Wu Liang feigned confusion and spoke up.

Upon hearing this, Morobi couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Do you think a fourth-level mushroom master is really that easy to deal with?"

"Back then, the commotion I caused with the Formless Token exposed my identity, and I was caught red-handed by the Black Horn Leader."

"Out of desperation, I exerted tremendous effort and even nearly died at his hands."

"Only by taking advantage of the remaining power of the Formless Celestial Venerable could I kill that old codger and obtain this black horn."

"Asking me to face a fourth-level mushroom master in a real fight again would be like sending me to my death."

Morobi's words may be crude, but the principle is sound: if you're not as skilled as others, you're simply not as skilled.

She didn't even try to elevate herself in front of Wu Liang; instead, she bluntly admitted that she was inferior to a fourth-level mushroom master.

Whether Wu Liang believes her explanation is another matter.

After all, Wu Liang didn't believe that Morobi would really tell him the truth.

"The lingering power of the Formless Celestial Venerable..."

Wu Liang remained unmoved, but he believed most of what he said.

After all, he had used the remaining power of his forces to kill Blood River Ancestor.

Morobi snorted coldly and continued speaking in a nonchalant manner.

"I'm not a brainless brute. If a direct attack is not feasible, then I can only outsmart them."

"So, my plan was to obtain that white horn legitimately through the Eight-Cornered Holy Battle."

"After all, the one who wins the Eight-Horned Holy Battle will be the leader of the merged tribes, and the White Horn leader will naturally hand over the white horn."

"For this reason, I even used the Image Mushroom to falsely convey the leader's decree and obtained the title of adopted daughter, intending to participate in the Eight-Cornered Holy War in this way."

"Who would have thought that the hateful high priest would insist on opposing me and not want me to sit in the position of leader."

"With him around, I can't do anything properly. Those mushroom growers only listen to that guy and don't listen to me at all."

"If it weren't for my image mushroom, it would be easy for people to see through my flaws and I wouldn't be able to show off in front of others."

"Otherwise, I would have had the 'Black Horn Leader' order that the damned high priest be dismissed long ago."

Morobi grew angrier as she spoke, her eyes flashing with a fierce light.

However, she quickly suppressed her anger again.

Morobi turned and crossed her arms, looking at Wu Liang.

"I've told you everything I originally planned. Do you have any thoughts on it?"

"Weren't we supposed to cooperate?"

"I'd like to see what brilliant ideas you have to break this deadlock."

After hearing this, Wu Liang said calmly, "It's very simple, just kill them all, right?"

In my opinion, there's absolutely no need for such trouble.

"What do you mean by obtaining the White Horn through the Eight-Horned Saints? Why should you and I follow the rules?"

"Don't you think that participating in the Eight-Pointed Saint Battle is too inefficient, Miss Morobi?"

Upon hearing this, Morobi was taken aback.

Wu Liang continued speaking to himself.

"Our goal is nothing more than the white horn on the head of the White Horn leader."

“We don’t need to get involved in the Eight-Cornered Holy War at all. As long as we find a way to kill him, everything will be fine.”

"Now that the Black Horn leader is dead, the only remaining fourth-level mushroom master in the entire Eight Horn Mountain is the White Horn leader."

"If you and I, the two successors of the Formless lineage, join forces, we can definitely break this deadlock."

"Whether it's the High Priest or the White Horn Leader, whoever blocks our path to survival, we'll find a way to kill them."

"Instead of behaving properly, let's turn the world upside down!"

Wu Liang remained expressionless, his voice icy and chilling.

His words exuded an indescribable confidence, as if he didn't even respect a fourth-level mushroom master.

Even the maid Moro couldn't help but glance at her.

mad!
That's absolutely outrageous!

Even more arrogant than her!
Despite having a lower cultivation level than her, merely at the peak of the second stage, he actually attempted to kill the White Horn leader.

This guy has absolutely no respect for the strong.

It seems that this guy is, deep down, still an arrogant and conceited person who looks down on everyone.

This is really...

It made her so happy!

Morobi's face flushed, and she couldn't help but lick the corner of her mouth.

"What a complete upheaval!"

“People used to say that I was a crazy woman, arrogant and reckless, and that I did things without considering the consequences.”

"But looking at it now, you madman are even more fucking crazy than I am!"

As Morobi finished speaking, she grinned, her eyes filled with excitement.

"Arrogance without strength comes at a price."

"I'm going to weigh you and see what you're really made of."

"Do you even have the right to make me, your mother, cause such a huge uproar?"
