Mushroom Man

"The person who comes here is not good..."

The Silver Dragon King's gaze swept over Wu Liang, and he immediately knew why the Golden Dragon King had come.

He sighed and waved to Wu Liang.

"Young friend Wu, stand next to me and do not speak for a moment."

"With me here, the Golden Dragon King can't touch you."

Upon hearing this, Wu Liang naturally knew that the Silver Dragon King was preparing to forcibly protect him.

He didn't feign indifference and continue acting; instead, he silently stood beside the Silver Dragon King.

The arrival of the Golden Dragon King was not unexpected, or rather, it was the result of his deliberate actions.

Wu Liang knew very well...

His rash departure from Peach Blossom Residence at this critical juncture will surely arouse the suspicion of the Golden Dragon King.

He used the excuse of visiting Ao Miaoyin to come see the Silver Dragon King, intending to further sow discord between the two.

He has just revealed his value to the Silver Dragon King.

As the only hope to save Ao Miaoyin, the Silver Dragon King would protect him no matter what.

If the Golden Dragon King takes a hard line and tries to do something to him, the Silver Dragon King will definitely not stand idly by.

This is not...

The Silver Dragon King has already demonstrated through his attitude that he is willing to confront the Golden Dragon King for Wu Liang's sake.

Just as Wu Liang's thoughts were racing...

A golden rainbow descended from the sky, easily passing through numerous obstacles and treating the palace buildings as nothing. It immediately followed the aura and appeared in front of Wu Liang and the Silver Dragon King.

Ah Hong and Ah Lan, who were standing guard outside and silently observing the situation, were unaware of the relationship between these dragon people and Wu Liang.

They only knew Wu Liang and the Silver Dragon King. After chatting privately for a short while, another fifth-rank dragon-man mushroom master arrived.

'This Dragon Palace is no ordinary place; it truly harbors hidden dragons and crouching tigers.'

"We've only been here a short time, and we've already encountered two dragon-human mushroom masters with cultivation levels at least at the fifth rank."

'Furthermore, judging from that mirage, there are dragon-people at the level of Mushroom Immortals here.'

'It seems this place might indeed be the place where the dragon rose to power in the Great Fate's fable.'

Ah Hong and Ah Lan looked at each other, exchanging thoughts, their expressions gradually becoming serious.

If this place truly is the site of the dragon's rise in the fable, then it is not a good thing for them.

This means they are very likely to be drawn into a huge vortex.

The prophecies obtained by the Great Master of Fate from peering into the secrets of heaven have never failed to come true; they are always bound to occur.

Perhaps their presence here at this moment is due to the influence of fate.

Everything they did and thought afterward was their predetermined destiny, an arrangement of fate.

No wonder everything seemed so coincidental...

Unfortunately, it was here that they discovered Wu Liang's whereabouts.

It remains to be seen whether, in the grand scheme of things, they will ultimately be able to capture Wu Liang.

The parable given by the Great Master of Fate merely expresses the idea that the dragon people will prosper.

In other words, the Dragon Palace and the others are definitely unable to move.

Even if they summon their true form and directly destroy the Dragon Palace, they will fail due to various coincidences.

This is exactly what is meant by the saying "the will of Heaven is hard to defy".

No one in the mushroom world can defy the heavens, not even Zhuge Huowang.

Throughout history, only the Formless Celestial Venerable has been able to defy the heavens to a certain extent.

Even so, the Formless Celestial Venerable could not destroy the Yellow Court, overcome the will of Heaven, or escape his destiny. If the Formless Celestial Venerable was in such a predicament, one can only imagine how they fared.

The only saving grace is that it is not the original bodies that are caught in this vortex of fate, but rather their fragmented souls.

If the main body is also involved, who knows how much trouble it will cause.

Ah Hong and Ah Lan were secretly relieved, but they did not change their goal or give up on capturing Wu Liang.

Their goal was simply to capture Wu Liang according to the will of the original body.

If you're not curious, you won't die. What secrets the Dragon Palace holds, or why it's so popular, has absolutely nothing to do with them.

At that time, we will find a way to capture Wu Liang, escape from this vortex, pretend we never discovered the Dragon Palace, and keep this matter completely to ourselves.

In this way, they should be able to mitigate the impact to a great extent and avoid getting too deeply involved, thus avoiding imprisonment.

Let's leave aside what Ah Hong and Ah Lan are thinking for now...

At this moment, the atmosphere inside the palace became extremely oppressive as the Golden Dragon King made his powerful arrival.

As soon as the Golden Dragon King appeared, his attention fell on Wu Liang.

He frowned, his gaze shifting back and forth between the Silver Dragon King and Wu Liang.

At this moment, the Golden Dragon King thought of learning through Huang'er the secret that the Silver Dragon King was colluding with the human race.

His face darkened, and he spoke in an icy tone: "If I remember correctly..."

“A few days ago, I made it clear that you are not allowed to leave Peach Blossom Residence until you have refined the Righteous Qi Mushroom.”

"You now brazenly come here to collude with Ao Ren, could it be that you have already cultivated the Righteous Qi Mushroom?"

Wu Liang remained silent, his meaning clear: he had clearly not yet cultivated the Righteous Qi Mushroom.

Upon hearing the word "collusion," the Silver Dragon King couldn't help but frown and said in a deep voice, "Brother, what do you mean by 'collusion'? It sounds rather harsh."

"I summoned you, young friend Wu. Miaoyin was harmed by villains and remains unconscious to this day."

"Young friend Wu knows of a mushroom remedy that can cure Miaoyin, which is why he rushed here."

"Brother, are you going to make a mountain out of a molehill and keep harping on this?"

Upon hearing this, the Golden Dragon King immediately let out a cold snort.

Through Huang'er, he already knew that Ao Miaoyin was suffering from some kind of hidden illness.

It was because Huang'er died tragically in the Imperial Garden that Ao Miaoyin was traumatized and fell into a coma.

However, this is not an excuse for this child to meet with the Silver Dragon King in private.

Ao Miaoyin was seriously ill, but instead of seeking out the imperial physicians skilled in treating her condition or retrieving the healing mushrooms from the Dragon Palace's treasury, she met with this boy. How could there not be something fishy going on here?

This kid is a third-level mushroom master, and he's proficient in alchemy rather than healing.

What kind of mushroom remedy does he know that could cure Ao Miaoyin?
If they really wanted to cure Ao Miaoyin, why would they think of asking this boy for help?

Without a doubt, the Silver Dragon King lied!
The Golden Dragon King was very certain of this, and the more he looked, the more he felt that the Silver Dragon King might really have had an affair with the human race.

Otherwise, why would the Silver Dragon King always side with the human race, and why would he treat this kid so well?
He would never believe that there was nothing fishy going on between the two.

Upon considering this, the Golden Dragon King immediately spoke in an unquestionable tone.

Whether it's making a mountain out of a molehill or not is none of my business.

"Now you are no longer the leader of the dragon people, and no one can disobey my decree."

"You have violated the Dragon Palace law by summoning someone I had specially arranged to be confined to the palace without my permission."

"Logically speaking, I should punish you, but considering that Ao Miaoyin really needs care, as long as you hand this child over to me, I can let bygones be bygones."

"I suspect that this boy may be connected with the villains who have wreaked havoc in the Dragon Palace. I need to investigate him thoroughly from beginning to end."

"Once all suspicion is cleared, I will release this boy and allow him to continue refining the Righteous Qi Mushroom..." (End of Chapter)
