Mushroom Man

"Oh?"

"They found the Dragon-Trapping Prison so quickly?"

Wu Liang raised an eyebrow in surprise and immediately activated the Peeping Mushroom.

The next moment, the scene on Xiao Chusheng's side appeared before their eyes.

It turns out that after Xiao Chusheng temporarily evaded his pursuers by relying on the Hidden World Mushroom, he secretly transformed into a dragon-man while the Golden Dragon King was searching for Wu Liang.

Then, using some unknown means, he managed to find out the exact location of the Dragon-Trapping Prison from the Dragon-Man Mushroom Master.

Previously, Wu Liang and Xiao Chusheng had not been able to find the so-called Dragon-Trapping Prison.

The fundamental reason is that the Dragon-Trapping Prison is not located in the Dragon Palace at all.

To be precise, the Dragon-Trapping Prison is located underground in the Dragon Palace.

That place imprisons all the dragons from the Dragon Palace who have made mistakes.

Therefore, it is strictly guarded, with many powerful dragonmen as guards.

Basically, apart from the two great dragon kings, no dragon people are allowed to approach them without permission.

For this reason, even though the human mushroom master who had harmed his fellow humans was imprisoned in the Dragon Prison, none of the dragon people who were filled with indignation dared to go there and cause trouble.

However, the rules of the Dragon Palace could not stop Xiao Chusheng, who was a human.

Perhaps they were worried that if they delayed any longer, they would be caught by the Golden Dragon King sooner or later.

Upon learning the location of the Dragon-Trapping Prison, Xiao Chusheng did not hesitate and rushed there immediately.

And all of this took only the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

In such a short time, he not only evaded the Golden Dragon King's search but also found the location of the Dragon-Trapping Prison, truly living up to his name as the successor of the Formless One.

If it were an ordinary person, let alone risking their life to find the Dragon Prison, it would be questionable whether they could even escape the pursuit of the Golden Dragon King and the dragonmen pursuers.

At this very moment...

Xiao Chusheng transformed into an ordinary-looking dragon-man, and like the dragon-man pursuers who were involved in the search, he wandered around the Dragon Palace.

In no time, he found the underground entrance to the Dragon-Trapping Prison.

Throughout this process, not a single dragonman recognized his true identity.

Xiao Chusheng moved in and out as if he were in an empty place, without arousing anyone's suspicion.

For Xiao Chusheng, only the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King could pose a threat to him.

As for the other dragon-man mushroom masters, most of them are proficient in slavery and have no means to see through the changes of the Wuxiang successor.

The underground entrance to the Dragon Prison is guarded by two armored third-level dragon-man mushroom masters.

They chatted idly, occasionally yawning.

Clearly, they hadn't expected that Xiao Chusheng, who was being chased by the Golden Dragon King, would be so audacious as to come to the Dragon-Trapping Prison.

These two dragonmen were used to being lazy and didn't have the vigilance a normal mushroom grower should have.

They only stopped chatting when Xiao Chusheng, disguised as a dragon, strode straight toward them without any attempt to conceal himself.

"Halt! This is a forbidden area for dragons. No one here is welcome. Leave immediately."

The two dragon people seemed to think that Xiao Chusheng had stumbled upon this place by mistake while searching for that villain.

So they didn't pay much attention and just coldly rebuked him.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chusheng nodded with a smile, but his movements were not slow at all, and he continued to approach the two of them quickly.

Even the most oblivious of the two dragon-man mushroom masters realized something was amiss.

"Back off!"

"Which palace are you from, East or West? How can you be so ignorant of the rules?"

"If they get any closer, we'll have to make our move."

The two dragon-man mushroom masters tensed up instantly, staring intently at Xiao Chusheng, who had approached without permission.

If Xiao Chusheng does anything unusual, or fails to heed warnings.

It's likely that the two dragon-man mushroom masters will start fighting without hesitation in the next moment.

However, Xiao Chusheng had clearly realized this long ago.

Therefore, before the two dragon-man mushroom masters could make a move, Xiao Chusheng smiled faintly and spoke.

"My two brothers, have you forgotten?"

"I am a jailer promoted by Lord Golden Dragon King. Why are you stopping me?"

As soon as this statement came out...

The two dragon-man mushroom masters were taken aback at first, then suddenly realized what was going on.

"I see. I was wondering why you looked so familiar. You're the new jailer promoted by Lord Golden Dragon King."

"It's already this late, why are we only now coming to roll call?"

The two dragon-man mushroom masters made way for each other as they spoke.

Xiao Chusheng smiled and nodded, without saying anything more, and walked in confidently.

This bizarre scene failed to arouse any suspicion from the two dragon-man mushroom masters.

This scene is truly chilling.

Wu Liang took in all of this and couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

"What method is this?"

"Fraudulent mushroom?"

Wu Liang stroked his chin, seemingly lost in thought.

When it comes to using Fake Mushrooms, he's an expert.

With just one glance, he could tell that Xiao Chusheng's methods seemed to contain elements of deception.

However, it's clear that the Fraud Mushroom alone is not enough to achieve this level of success.

The methods Xiao Chusheng used seemed to be even more sophisticated than simply activating the Deception Mushroom.

"Tsk, this guy has quite a few good things on him."

"Compared to this guy, how can I, a successor of the Formless lineage, be so pathetic?" Wu Liang's thoughts flashed by.

However, he quickly suppressed these distracting thoughts and refocused his attention on Xiao Chusheng.

"crunch-"

Xiao Chusheng pushed open the door to the underground entrance and slipped inside.

A tunnel leading underground then came into view.

Bronze lamps hung on both sides of the passageway, emitting dim and flickering light.

As soon as Xiao Chusheng stepped into this place, he heard screams coming from deep underground.

The cries, curses, and other sounds echoed here, sending chills down one's spine.

No one could have imagined that beneath the glamorous and magnificent Dragon Palace lay such a dark and terrifying prison.

"I wonder where Wei Dai has been imprisoned..."

Xiao Chusheng raised an eyebrow and muttered to himself.

Knowing that he could not stay here any longer, he immediately set off to go deep underground to find Wei Dai.

However, at that moment, a sound suddenly came from behind him.

"Wei Dai... are you here to see that human mushroom master?"

Upon hearing the sound, Xiao Chusheng was startled and quickly turned around to look.

Then he saw an old dragon-man with gray hair and blind eyes appear behind him.

This blind old dragon's cultivation level was as high as the fourth level, which was in no way weaker than Xiao Chusheng.

Clearly, this guy is the jailer of this Dragon-Trapping Prison.

It was only when a strange presence suddenly appeared here that this old man was alarmed.

'The Dragon Palace truly harbors hidden dragons and crouching tigers; I didn't even notice when this old geezer appeared behind me.'

'It seems I must be more careful; I can't underestimate these lowly dragon people.'

A hint of apprehension flashed across Xiao Chusheng's face.

Although the blind old dragon could not see the fearful expression on Xiao Chusheng's face, he immediately sensed something was amiss when he saw that Xiao Chusheng had not replied for a long time.

"who are you?"

"Who let you in?"

“A strange aura, you…”

The blind old dragon, his voice hoarse, questioned him.

However, before he could finish speaking, Xiao Chusheng used the same trick again, unleashing a highly unpredictable killing move.

"Old man, I have come here on the orders of the Golden Dragon King to take away those human mushroom masters."

"Lord Golden Dragon King intends to search the souls of those human mushroom masters, hoping to find out the true identity of the villain who is still hiding outside..."

Xiao Chusheng was lying through his teeth; his words were full of holes and couldn't stand up to scrutiny at all.

However, the blind old dragon seemed dazed for a moment after hearing this, frowned, and asked with some doubt, "Are you telling the truth?"

"Lord Golden Dragon King, do you wish to take those human mushroom masters away?"

"But weren't those human mushroom masters just locked up in jail?"

"If it's a soul-searching operation, wouldn't it be better for Lord Golden Dragon King to come in person..."

Compared to the two third-tier dragon guards outside, this fourth-tier blind old dragon was clearly much harder to fool.

Xiao Chusheng's expression remained unchanged as he said, "Old man, you don't know this..."

"The Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King disagreed and had a big argument."

"The Silver Dragon King does not want the Golden Dragon King to rashly search the souls of those human mushroom masters."

"That's why Lord Golden Dragon King ordered me to secretly take those human mushroom masters away."

"The Golden Dragon King did not come in person because he was worried that the Silver Dragon King would find out."

"Moreover, Lord Golden Dragon King is still searching, and the villain who is still on the run doesn't have time to come over in person."

Xiao Chusheng's words sounded quite like Wu Liang's past habit of lying.

The blind old dragon listened in a daze, and the suspicion on his face finally dissipated.

Seeing this, Xiao Chusheng seemed worried that the blind old dragon would come to his senses, so he quickly urged him on, not wanting him to delve into the details of his recollection.

"Old man, could you please show me the way?"

"This is my first time here. If I take the wrong turn and fail to complete the task assigned by Lord Golden Dragon King, that would be terrible."

Upon hearing this, the blind old dragon indeed didn't think any further.

He coughed twice before speaking, "Alright, alright, you young man, keep up with me."

"The prison is not like the outside world. It is heavily guarded and there are prison guards everywhere."

"If you wander off and are seen by other guards, which could lead to some misunderstanding, you might lose your life here."

"It's only because I'm kind-hearted that I decided to ask first. Otherwise, I would have captured you just now."

As he spoke, the blind old dragon led the way with his hunched back.

"Yes, yes, the boy will not run around."

Xiao Chusheng chuckled and gave a perfunctory reply, then quickly followed suit.

Upon seeing this, a look of surprise flashed in Wu Liang's eyes.

"What terrifying methods! Even the Mushroom Master can be affected by them so easily."

"Although that blind old dragon is old and his mind is declining, he shouldn't have been so easily fooled."

"It seems that the method this guy used must be at least a killing move at the level of the Formless True Transmission."

"Hmm... Such methods are fit to be used by me."
