Mushroom Man

Outside the boudoir.

Wu Liang stood at the door, listening to the sounds coming from inside, nodded slightly, and felt relieved.

That's right, he didn't leave!

Just moments ago, he had noticed through the Human Heart Mushroom that Ao Miaoyin's emotions were somewhat off.

To prevent any unexpected situations, he deliberately stood guard at the door for a while.

Fortunately, he was careful and cautious; otherwise, if he had really lost Ao Miaoyin, it would have been a real problem.

Admittedly, Ao Miaoyin is now just a burden to him.

But this burden is of great use to him, and he must not easily discard it.

He also needs to use Ao Miaoyin to study the Dragon Man Mushroom and the Dragon Transformation Method, and to further plot against the Dragon Palace in the future.

In this situation, how could one possibly let it leave them?

"trouble……"

Wu Liang muttered to himself before entering the Demon Suppression Tower.

Before investigating the island's situation, he planned to check on his captured prisoner, 'Alan'.

With a swift movement, he appeared on the ninth floor of the Demon Suppression Tower.

The Bone Immortal, who was guarding the place, immediately came to greet him upon seeing him.

Wu Liang nodded slightly and got straight to the point without wasting any time.

"What about the dragon girl I captured earlier?"

Upon hearing this, Master Gu immediately spoke respectfully: "Your Excellency, the dragon girl has been bound by the Demon-Suppressing Iron Chains."

"However, the dragon girl's injuries are too severe, and for now, she can only be kept alive in the blood pool."

Too serious injuries?

If Wu Liang's prediction is correct, this so-called 'A Lan' is very likely to be related to Zhuge Huowang.

It is even quite possible that it was a fragment of Zhuge Huowang's soul.

After all, both 'Ah Lan' and 'Ah Hong' are proficient in the way of the soul, and their purpose is to destroy the Dragon Bell and open the mirage.

He might have wondered before why these two guys were so obsessed with opening the mirage.

It was only after he saw the three thousand fragments of the soul that he suddenly realized the truth.

He understood that the two guys opened the mirage simply to allow the three thousand fragments of his soul to descend upon the Dragon Palace, making it easier to capture him.

Therefore, it is very likely that 'Ah Hong and Ah Lan' were also part of Zhuge Huowang.

As part of Zhuge Huowang, his soul must be extremely terrifying.

A mere physical wound shouldn't be enough to kill that guy.

Wu Liang sneered and said, "It's alright, take me to see that guy."

Bone Master had no objection to this and quickly led Wu Liang to the edge of the blood pool.

He yanked the chains and quickly pulled the two halves of 'Alan' out of the blood pool.

At this moment, 'Ah Lan' looked miserable and was completely silent.

Anyone with injuries like that would probably be dead by now.

Therefore, when Gu Zhenren saw that 'Alan' had stopped moving, he thought that the dragon girl had died because she could not hold on.

He panicked instantly, worried that the special envoy would blame him, and hurriedly said, "Special Envoy, this, this can't be blamed on me..."

"I immediately immersed this guy in the blood pool and activated the blood-restoring mushroom left behind by the special envoy."

"Logically speaking, this guy shouldn't have died so quickly."

"It must be because this guy was too badly injured and couldn't hold on..."

Gu Zhenren spoke in a flustered tone, but before he could finish, Wu Liang raised his hand to interrupt him.

Wu Liang knew, of course, that this was not Bone Master's fault.

If 'Ah Lan' dies, it's only his own fault for not knowing his own strength.

A single spatial slash would be devastating, even for someone like Master Bone, let alone someone with only a second-stage cultivation level like 'A-Lan'. Therefore, it would be understandable if 'A-Lan' were to die from this attack.

only……

Wu Liang didn't believe that this guy had really died so easily.

You should know that the 'Ah Hong' who brought him a turning point before had her physical body destroyed, but she was still able to survive by relying on her soul.

It even managed to deceive the Golden Dragon King, detonating his soul body to destroy the Dragon Bell.

Both 'Ah Lan' and 'Ah Hong' are clearly the work of Zhuge Huowang.

Under these circumstances, how could Wu Liang really believe that 'Ah Lan' could die so easily?

"Stop pretending……"

"You can't fool me with your little tricks."

Wu Liang stood with his hands behind his back, nodded slightly, and spoke softly.

As soon as he finished speaking, 'Ah Lan' remained motionless and unresponsive, as if he were truly dead.

"If you don't eat the toast, you will be fined with wine..."

Wu Liang snorted coldly when he saw this.

First, Ao Miaoyin pretended to be asleep with him, and then 'A Lan' pretended to be dead with him.

Wu Liang's patience is limited; not everyone has the right to be treated kindly by him.

Not to mention that 'Ah Lan' is different from Ao Miaoyin. One is an enemy who harbors ill intentions towards him, while the other is a silly girl who treats him well.

It is obvious which of the two is more important.

There was a loud "smack"!
Wu Liang snapped his fingers, and the Ghost Messenger Mushroom activated.

In an instant, a soul-snatching rope shot through the air towards 'Ah Lan'.

Seeing that the Soul-Hooking Rope was about to hit 'Ah Lan', 'Ah Lan' could no longer keep up the act.

"Wait a minute..."

A voice suddenly rang out from 'Alan'.

Upon hearing this, Wu Liang's mind stirred, and the Soul-Hooking Rope stopped three inches in front of 'Ah Lan'.

If they had been even a step later, the Soul-Hooking Rope would have forcibly extracted 'Ah Lan's' soul.

At that time, even if 'Alan' doesn't want to die, he'll probably have no choice but to obediently go and die.

Then, the lifeless 'Ah Lan' slowly opened her eyes.

His eyes were a dull gray, devoid of color, yet a faint glimmer of light remained within them.

Seeing her like this, Wu Liang knew what state 'A-Lan' was in.

If he is not mistaken, 'Ah Lan's' physical body should already be dead.

The reason why 'Ah Lan' can still move is entirely because his soul is still hiding in this physical body.

However, this state of being a living dead, where the physical body dies but the soul survives, cannot be maintained for long.

Once the essence of the soul is completely depleted, it is utter annihilation.

Moreover, if the soul leaves the body at this time, it will definitely be dragged to the Yellow Springs, just like Wu Liang did back then.

This is why 'Ah Lan' had to give up pretending to be dead when she saw Wu Liang trying to extract her soul.

Originally, 'Alan' was hoping to feign death to lull Wu Liang into a false sense of security and launch a surprise attack.

Unfortunately, Wu Liang wasn't so easily fooled...

"Damn it! How dare they play dead to fool this old man and the special envoy!"

When Gu Zhenren saw that this lowly dragon dared to deceive him and make him look bad in front of the special envoy, he was instantly enraged.

But when this address of "Special Envoy" reached 'Ah Lan's' ears, it made him sneer.

"Special envoy? What kind of special envoy is he?"

"You mere mortal zombie, you are truly blind, unable to recognize a true immortal in person, and instead you've been completely fooled by a fake..." (End of Chapter)
