Mushroom Man

Chapter 337 Bloodline Exposed, Innocent People Wronged
A Blood Path Mushroom Master whose entire body reeked of blood.

They actually dared to talk about sincerity and integrity!
If the Silver Dragon King truly believed that, then he would become senile.

He knew perfectly well what kind of people those demonic mushroom masters who practiced the Blood Path sect were.

To call them utterly depraved would be an understatement.

Originally, the Silver Dragon King kept Wu Liang around only to teach Ao Miaoyin a lesson.

If Wu Liang harbors ill intentions, it could be used to teach Ao Miaoyin the wickedness of human nature and that not all humans are good people with whom one can live in harmony.

If Wu Liang is sensible, he can also cultivate Ao Miaoyin's trust in the human race, making her more confident in eliminating prejudice.

Regardless of the outcome, the Silver Dragon King was confident that he could handle the situation properly and ensure that Wu Liang would not be able to harm Ao Miaoyin.

However, things took an unexpected turn...

During this period, Wu Liang not only refrained from using any methods detrimental to the Dragon Palace, but even went so far as to refine mushrooms for the Dragon People, which benefited the Dragon Palace.

Furthermore, Wu Liang displayed extraordinary talent, defeating Prince Ao Tang and winning over a group of dragon people.

It's not over yet...

The Silver Dragon King also discovered that in just one month, his little darling seemed to have been bewitched by this person.

Under these circumstances, Wu Liang's importance grew, to the point that he could no longer be disposed of casually.

If not handled properly, it could easily backfire and hurt Ao Miaoyin's feelings.

For this reason, after much deliberation and weighing the pros and cons, the Silver Dragon King decided to give Wu Liang a chance and temporarily spare him from the clutches of the Golden Dragon King.

In his opinion……

If Wu Liang, a demon who cultivates the path of blood, could be forced to act like a good person in the Dragon Palace for the rest of his life under pressure, and thus repent and reform, then everyone would be happy.

After all, if a hypocritical gentleman can maintain this facade for a lifetime, always doing good deeds and acts of kindness, then he is undoubtedly a true gentleman.

The Silver Dragon King was confident that he could firmly suppress Wu Liang and turn him into a true gentleman.

Therefore, he summoned Ao Miaoyin away and left Wu Liang behind.

The original intention was to take this opportunity to subtly inquire whether this person was worth saving.

After a few words, the Silver Dragon King found Wu Liang more and more pleasing to the eye.

What evil intentions could a human who yearns to be a dragon and wants to integrate into the Dragon Palace have?
Regardless of whether it's true or false, even if it's false, the Silver Dragon King is confident he can make it true and keep it pretending.

Moreover, this person is also a Blood Path Mushroom Master who is proficient in refining the Dao.

If we spare his life, we might even be able to help refine that fourth-rank bloodline mushroom that can suppress the 'innate incurable disease'.

After much hesitation, the Silver Dragon King finally offered a way out: he would buy a Righteousness Mushroom to deal with the Golden Dragon King and save his life.

However, to his utter surprise, Wu Liang refused!

At this moment, the Silver Dragon King wished he could stand up and strangle this pretentious brat.

'At a time like this, what are you still pretending for!'

'Do you really think you can fool me like a three-year-old?'

'Sincerity and integrity—do those qualities even apply to a bloodthirsty demon like you?'

The Silver Dragon King's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he remained silent for a long time.

Wu Liang spoke with righteous indignation and sincerity, his words as genuine as could be.

However, after he finished speaking, he wanted to hear the Silver Dragon King's response, but after waiting and waiting, he still did not hear any reaction from the Silver Dragon King.

Wu Liang was surprised and couldn't help but look up.

But once you look, you'll be shocked.

The Silver Dragon King remained expressionless, staring straight at him without uttering a single word.

Wu Liang's heart skipped a beat.

'Oh no, did I overdo it?'

Wu Liang thought of this and felt secretly annoyed.

If I had known this would happen, I should have pulled back a bit and not acted so upright.

However, it was absolutely impossible for him to accept the Silver Dragon King's gift.

First of all, he was unsure whether the Silver Dragon King's actions were a test of him.

Secondly, the Golden Dragon King had anticipated this and had already made his intentions clear beforehand.

Under these circumstances, he naturally could not defy the odds and sought the Silver Dragon King's help.

Even if he really wanted to obtain the Righteous Qi Mushroom through trickery, he couldn't possibly use his connections with the Dragon Palace.

After all, who knows if the Golden Dragon King might have some means to see through the deception?

You must know that the Golden Dragon King had previously demonstrated the intricacies of this deadly move, revealing its origins and development, right in front of him.

If we don't figure out the whole story, this killer move might reveal whether he refined the Righteous Qi Mushroom and whether he sought help from other dragon people.

That's why Wu Liang didn't dare to gamble, so he pretended to be sincere and refused the Silver Dragon King's kindness.

at the same time……

Just as Wu Liang was lost in thought, trying to figure out what the Silver Dragon King's silence meant...

The Silver Dragon King's voice suddenly rang out in a low, eerie tone.

"Sigh, young friend Wu, do you know why I kept you behind alone and even bought you a Righteous Qi Mushroom?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Liang frowned.

He narrowed his eyes and said, "Please enlighten me, Senior Silver Dragon King. This junior is foolish and does not understand your true meaning." The Silver Dragon King was not surprised by this. He slowly rose from the dragon throne and paced back and forth.

He walked with his back to Wu Liang to the dragon window, gazing at the magnificent underwater scenery outside, and spoke softly without turning his head.

"I left you behind alone because I didn't want Miaoyin to know that you are a demon who manipulates the bloodline, and thus be saddened."

"It is precisely because I know that you are a Blood Demon and absolutely cannot refine a Righteous Qi Mushroom that I intend to give you a Righteous Qi Mushroom directly."

The Silver Dragon King stopped hiding his thoughts and brought them to the forefront.

At this moment, he was completely unprepared, and his back was left unattended to Wu Liang.

If Wu Liang were to suddenly lash out at this moment, choosing to break off all pretense and kill to silence them...

Hmm... Wu Liang must be the one who died.

It was precisely because of this absolute difference in strength that the Silver Dragon King acted with impunity and exposed Wu Liang's true abilities.

However, what he didn't know was...

In fact, Wu Liang already knew that he was a Blood Path Mushroom Master.

After all, family members know their own affairs best.

Even if Wu Liang's fake mushrooms and superficial mushrooms are incredibly wonderful, they can only be considered to have reached the third stage at most.

They might allow him to conceal his bloodline techniques from Prince Ao Tang and others.

However, to think that one could keep it a secret from a fifth-level mushroom master like the Silver Dragon King was undoubtedly wishful thinking and a pipe dream.

Even when the Golden Dragon King activated the ins and outs to understand the cause and effect, he probably saw through his bloodline techniques.

However, neither the Golden Dragon King nor the Silver Dragon King had revealed this point before.

It was precisely because the Golden Dragon King knew that Wu Liang was a Blood Path Mushroom Master that he deliberately made things difficult for him by giving him the test of refining the Righteous Qi Mushroom.

It is entirely reasonable for the Silver Dragon King to now expose his identity as a Blood Path Mushroom Master.

Therefore, Wu Liang was not surprised at all, nor did he feel any worry or fear.

After all, the Silver Dragon King's words and actions had already shown that he did not have much prejudice against the Blood Path.

Even the Silver Dragon King himself uses Bloodway Mushrooms.

In this situation, what is there to be afraid of?
Wu Liang remained calm.

He looked at the Silver Dragon King's slightly hunched back, then spoke in a low, neither humble nor arrogant, voice: "I see, I understand."

"This junior never expected that Senior Silver Dragon King would view this junior in this way..."

Ok?
Upon hearing this, the Silver Dragon King raised an eyebrow and turned to look at Wu Liang.

Wu Liang shook his head and gave a wry smile.

"I thought that Senior Silver Dragon King, who was able to raise Miss Miaoyin, a person with such a loving heart, must also be a good person without prejudice."

"Unexpectedly, Senior Silver Dragon King was no different from Lord Golden Dragon King, or even those dragon people in the Dragon Palace who were deeply prejudiced."

"It is true that I am a Blood Path Mushroom Master, but does cultivating the Blood Path necessarily make one a demon?"

"As a Blood Path Mushroom Master, I dare to take on the challenge of refining the Righteous Qi Mushroom."

"It is precisely because I have a clear conscience and know what kind of person I am that I dare to refine the Righteous Qi Mushroom."

"I cultivate the Blood Path because it allows me to become stronger faster, strong enough to be unafraid of enemies and strong enough to protect those around me from harm."

"The Blood Path itself is not wrong; the wrong lies with those who use the Blood Path for evil purposes and those who are prejudiced against it."

"For example, Senior Silver Dragon King, you used Blood Path Mushrooms to treat Miss Miaoyin's incurable illness. Are you also a demon?"

Wu Liang's resounding words completely reversed the situation, turning black into white and shifting the balance of power!

The last sentence, in particular, left the Silver Dragon King speechless and silent.

The Silver Dragon King's expression was complicated as he gave Wu Liang a deep look.

He really didn't expect that this brat had such good eyesight, actually recognizing that it was a blood fungus.

At this moment, the Silver Dragon King, recalling this place, became dazed, his heart stirred...

Yes, could it be that he is too prejudiced and has a preconceived misunderstanding of this child?

He also used Blood Vessel Mushroom, could he be a demon too?

As is widely known, the reason why the blood path is classified as a demonic method is because of the definition of the righteous forces.

In fact, there is no such thing as a distinction between good and evil among all schools of thought in the world.

Blood can also be used to save lives, eliminate demons, and protect the righteous path, just like how the Silver Dragon King used blood fungus to treat Ao Miaoyin.

Whether a school of thought is good or bad depends solely on the practitioners of that school.

Although Wu Liang is a Blood Path Mushroom Master, he has never done anything bad since he entered the Dragon Palace.

Even if a dispute or fight breaks out with someone, it is always Crown Prince Ao Tang who provokes the other first.

Moreover, the Silver Dragon King clearly knew that Wu Liang's blood-path fungus did not seem to have been obtained by harming people.

If he guessed correctly, this kid was collecting mushroom beast corpses probably to refine this body of blood-path mushrooms.

Can a Blood Path Mushroom Master who doesn't harm human lives but only takes the corpses of mushroom beasts to refine mushrooms really be considered a demon?

Upon considering this, the Silver Dragon King already had his answer.

'It seems I have truly wronged an innocent person…'
