Mushroom Man

Chapter 274 Deceiving the Fairy Mushroom, Murdering and Seizing the Order

"Oh?"

"Is the Formless Order a scam?"

Upon hearing this secret, which was both unexpected and seemingly reasonable, Wu Liang narrowed his eyes.

He calmed himself down and continued to listen.

The little man kept talking, and a deeply hidden secret was thus brought to the surface.

"The so-called Formless Order is actually a celestial mushroom of the Formless Celestial Venerable, named the Deception Mushroom."

"The Celestial Venerable Wuxiang used some means to split the Deceitful Immortal Mushroom into eight parts, which were then transformed into the Wuxiang Token."

“Every Faceless Order is part of deceiving the Fairy Mushroom.”

"A single Formless Order can only be used to connect deceptions, but if all eight are combined, it can be transformed back into the Deception Mushroom."

"If you can collect two or more Formless Tokens, you can actively enter and exit the scam you have created."

"Because the Wuxiang Order was a deception and a disguise of the Immortal Mushroom, it was essentially a deception by the Wuxiang Heavenly Venerable."

"That is why the eight successors of the Formless lineage were able to connect with each other and communicate through this deception."

"And this secret is known only to the 'young master' among the successors of the Formless lineage, namely the Thousand-Faced Gentleman Hua Youque."

"Hua Youque learned this secret through the transmission of the Formless."

"Hua Youque wants to create a 'scam' of artificial wonders and deceive the fairy mushrooms."

"With the help of his master, the Taoist Master Mei, a Taoist immortal of the Sixth Cycle, he found the Taoist Master Wuxiang from the Holy Sect through the connection that Wuxiang disciples attract to each other."

"Hua Youque secretly assassinated the successor of the Holy Sect's Wuxiang sect and stole the Wuxiang Token from his hands."

"The reason why the scam is about to begin is that Hua Youque is using the combined Wuxiang Order to initiate the scam."

"Hua Youque did this not for any other reason than to obtain information about the other successors of the Unparalleled Heir during the upcoming deception, so that he could kill them and seize the order..."

The blue azure light trembled slightly, and the indigo halo slowly dissipated.

The chattering, babbling 'little people' have accomplished their mission and vanished without a trace.

In an instant, the noisy sounds around Wu Liang stopped abruptly, and it became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

"What a man of a thousand faces, what a flawed flower..."

After digesting the secrets revealed by Jian Shouqing, Wu Liang couldn't help but sigh.

He originally thought that he was now a monster, a product of the Blood River Ancestor and Wu Liang combined.

If we look at that group of disciples of the Formless lineage, there should be no one who can surpass him.

Even if it were Morobi, who possessed the True Martial Demon-Slaying Body, Wu Liang was confident that he could immediately overtake her after escaping.

But now...

After learning the secret of Hua Youque, the Thousand-Faced Gentleman, he finally understood what it meant to be outmatched and to be in a world beyond our understanding.

None of the successors chosen by the Formless Celestial Venerable were benevolent individuals.

Only then did Wu Liang somewhat restrain his contempt for this group of Wuxiang disciples.

"I never imagined that the 'young master' in the scam was actually the Thousand-Faced Man who was exposed along with me on the Demon Slayer List."

Are there any flowers missing?

"Interesting, this person is truly hiding his true abilities..."

"Back when the scam was going on, this person took the initiative to reveal that there was a Mushroom Immortal in the heavens who was covering up for the successor of the Formless One."

"At the time, I suspected that this person's knowledge of such information likely stemmed from a powerful backer, the Mushroom Immortal, and now it seems that's indeed the case..."

"Compared to my 'disciple of the immortal,' this person is the one who truly deserves the title of disciple of the immortal."

As Wu Liang recalled the man's various actions during the scam, a hint of seriousness flashed in his eyes.

Clearly, this woman with flaws is not simple at all.

He appeared quite friendly in his deception, but behind the scenes he was plotting to assassinate the successor of the Wuxiang lineage and seize the Wuxiang Token.

And that's fine, since the successors of the Formless lineage are not like-minded people, but rather competitors.

However, at this critical juncture, the successor of Wuxiang has enemies all over the world; they are all in the same boat.

Logically speaking, they shouldn't be fighting amongst themselves at this time. At the very least, they should wait until they arrive in the East before engaging in back-and-forth struggles and scheming against each other.

However, this Thousand-Faced Gentleman Hua Youque completely disregarded all of this and, relying on his immortal master's protection, actually began to turn against his own people.

And surprisingly, he actually succeeded!
Even the Wuxiang successor that this person killed was the same Wuxiang successor from the Holy Sect.

Once upon a time, Wu Liang even used the name of that person from the Holy Sect to deceive Morobi.

I originally thought that the successor of the Holy Sect, with the Holy Sect as his backer, would be able to cross the North Sea safely and reach the East.

Unexpectedly, this guy died quietly at the hands of the Thousand-Faced Gentleman Hua Youque.

How long has it been since?

In less than a month, one of the successors of Wuxiang was lost, which was truly unexpected.

"Now the flow of time in this blessed land has been aligned with the outside world and is approaching normal."

"Judging by the timeline, the scam will be launched soon."

"I previously thought that this scam, which was held from time to time, was the work of the Formless Celestial Venerable."

"Now that I see it, it turns out it was Hua Youque's doing."

"Once we gather both Formless Tokens, we can exploit the deception. It seems that Shouqing really did give them to me, and I managed to find a way out..."

Wu Liang's expression shifted between light and shadow, as if he were deep in thought. To be honest, he wasn't that concerned about Hua Youque, this guy who tried to kill and seize the order.

After all, no matter how much this guy schemes against the successor of the Formless Sect, he can't catch him off guard in the short term.

That so-called "Moldy Taoist" is at most only at the sixth level of cultivation.

Even if Hua Youque knew his location, he wouldn't dare to lay a finger on him, even if he had ten times the courage.

Zhuge Huowang is no pushover.

Even though the methods of the Fortune Mushroom Fairy are difficult to defend against, she is no match for Zhuge Huowang.

Therefore, his immediate priority is to get out of this predicament, rather than worrying about whether the flowers are flawed.

Now, seeing the secret that Shouqing revealed to him, he saw another possibility for escaping.

That is to use the Wuxiang Order to deceive and escape from Zhuge Huowang's grasp.

This method has its merits, but the difficulties it requires overcoming are quite troublesome.

To exploit a scam, one must first master two or more aspects of the "Formless Order".

Wu Liang only has one Wuxiang Token on hand. Where can he find a second Wuxiang Token?

Even if he wanted to go, he was powerless to do so.

If he had known this beforehand, he could have planned ahead and snatched the Wuxiang Token from Morobi and even Bailai.

But now...

Wu Liang shook his head, feeling quite sorry about this.

Of course, even if he had a second version of the Formless Token, he could still exploit the deception to some extent.

He couldn't escape from Zhuge Huowang's grasp so easily.

Do you know where this place is?
This is Zhuge Huowang's blessed land!
Even if Wu Liang possessed two or more Formless Tokens, allowing him to freely enter and exit the deceptions he created, he still couldn't do the same in a celestial being's blessed land.

Having inherited the memories of the Blood River Ancestor, Wu Liang naturally knew the immense power that the Mushroom Immortal possessed within his blessed land.

If he really dares to try to escape using the Formless Decree while in his blessed land.

I fear that no sooner had he activated the Formless Decree and started the deception than his soul would become a fragment of the Myriad Soul Banner.

Therefore, if Wu Liang truly possessed the Two-Faced Mandate, it would be impossible for him to orchestrate a scam in someone else's blessed land.

The best approach is still to find a way to leave the blessed land and then be drawn into a scam in the outside world.

Only in this way could Zhuge Huowang possibly react in time and allow him to escape.

Of course, all of this is nonsense.

After all, at this moment, he not only lacked the Two-Faced Decree, but also had no way to temporarily escape the blessed land...

Ok?
and many more!

Wu Liang seemed to have thought of something, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

"I almost forgot about that foolish cousin..."

He muttered to himself, and the scene of Zhuge Huowang ordering Wu De to cut down a tree to prepare a congratulatory gift unconsciously appeared in his mind.

Wu Liang seemed to be deep in thought, his eyes growing brighter and brighter.

The more he thought about it, the clearer his audacious plan became.

If this plan succeeds, it seems he might actually be able to escape from Zhuge Huowang's clutches and even extend his life, living another lifetime...

"good very good."

"As expected of a master of skill."

Wu Liang suddenly stood up, laughed wildly, and his arrogant expression returned to his face.

If he doesn't get a lucky break this time, then it seems that all that's left for him is to gamble and hope for the best.

But things are different now...

Seeing that Qing had clearly given him a perfect way to break the deadlock, he realized that Qing had already provided him with a flawless solution.

All he needed to do was to be willing to risk everything and embark on this desperate path of facing death to live.

The astonishing wisdom of the Blood River Ancestor and the earth-shattering secrets of the See-Hand Green, combined, seem to be breaking down the seemingly intractable deadlock.

At this moment, he could even imagine the incredible expression Zhuge Huowang would have if he were to escape.

"The Order of Wu Xiang, Wu De..."

"If I want to achieve my goal of escaping this predicament, my soul will have to be strengthened."

"Fine, let's strengthen the soul then. Anyway, the traces of the soul path are basically manifested in the soul."

"In the early stages, the conflicts with other schools of Dao traces were not serious and would not affect my future cultivation."

"Moreover, if I were a powerful spirit at this moment, I could easily deceive Zhuge Huowang and make him lower his guard."

"As long as I can fool this junior for the time being, my great cause can be accomplished."

With this in mind, Wu Liang finally made a decision!

And the first step in his grand plan to escape...

Without a doubt, it was exactly as Zhuge Huowang wished, using the Soul-Slaying Ridge to strengthen the soul!

However, the specific methods for strengthening the soul still need careful consideration.

According to his plan, he had to do everything he could in a very short time, even faster than Zhuge Huowang could react...

To strengthen one's own soul to the point of having the souls of a thousand or even ten thousand people!
