Mushroom Man

"presumptuous!"

Upon hearing 'Ah Lan's' words, the ghostly fire burning in Bone Master's eyes instantly intensified.

Without thinking, he immediately rebuked 'Ah Lan'.

After speaking, Bone Master glanced at Wu Liang without leaving a trace.

Wu Liang, however, remained indifferent, seemingly unconcerned.

Seeing this, Master Gu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew better than anyone whether Wu Liang was a special envoy of the Holy Church, but he simply didn't want to say it out loud.

Whether Wu Liang is a special envoy of the Holy Church or not is no longer important to him now.

Wu Liang says he is who he is, and he says he isn't who he isn't—it's that simple!
He, the Bone Immortal, is now on this pirate ship and has no choice but to go down this dark path.

In this situation, even if 'Ah Lan' talked himself hoarse, he would only pretend to be stupid.

"How dare you try to sow discord and gossip about the Special Envoy!"

"What kind of status does the Special Envoy have? How dare you, a lowly dragon, speak so presumptuously?"

"If the special envoy hadn't spoken, I would have eaten you like a meal."

Master Gu spoke in a stern voice, his words devoid of any politeness, behaving like a loyal lackey of the Holy Sect.

His appearance made 'Ah Lan's' face darken.

If someone didn't know better, they would probably think that Bone Immortal and Wu Liang were members of the Holy Sect.

These two imposters have now turned against the Heavenly Gang and are using the Holy Sect to pressure her.

"idiot……"

'Ah Lan' cursed and then ignored the Bone Immortal who was pretending to be stupid.

Her gaze was deep and unfathomable as she looked at the silent Wu Liang.

"Kid, you should know whose man I am."

"I advise you to be sensible and release me right now."

"Otherwise, when the three thousand fragments of your soul descend upon the Dragon Palace, you'll certainly suffer..."

At this moment, 'Alan' was clearly unaware that Wu Liang had already left the Dragon Palace.

Because of the Demon Suppression Tower, this place is isolated from the outside world.

'Ah Lan' had no way of knowing what was happening outside, let alone informing the main body.

In complete darkness, she was unaware that the three thousand divided souls had already perished.

So she still clung to the illusion that Wu Liang's visit at this time was a desperate last-ditch effort after being forced into a corner.

"Three thousand divided souls?"

"So that's what that immortal soul came from. No wonder it's so similar to that guy in every way except for its cultivation and abilities."

Wu Liang, composed and unhurried, spoke in a calm and unhurried manner.

Upon hearing this, 'Alan' instantly realized that Wu Liang had already seen the three thousand divided souls.

This caused her expression to change slightly, and a dark light flickered in her eyes.

Logically speaking, Wu Liang's encounter with the three thousand divided souls meant that the three thousand divided souls had broken through the mirage and descended into the Dragon Palace.

If that's the case, why was Wu Liang still able to escape unscathed?

As one of the three thousand divided souls, 'Alan' was very clear about the abilities of the three thousand divided souls.

With the power of three thousand divided souls, if they had truly descended upon the Dragon Palace, they should have captured Wu Liang long ago.

But now Wu Liang is not only completely unharmed, he even has the leisure to deal with her...

What this means is naturally self-evident.

Although 'Alan' had some suspicions, he still couldn't believe it.

She opened her mouth, as if to say something more.

However, Wu Liang didn't have that much patience, and he wasted it all on 'A Lan'.

"It seems you can't contact that guy while you're here." "Otherwise, how would you not know I've escaped?"

"If that's the case, then I'm relieved. You... are no longer needed."

Wu Liang's main purpose in coming here was to test 'A Lan' and determine if there were any hidden dangers.

Now that he has achieved the desired result, he naturally will not waste any more time.

'Ah Lan's' expression changed drastically, as if he had realized something.

She opened her mouth, about to say something.

Unexpectedly, Wu Liang ignored her sophistry and immediately activated the Ghost Messenger Mushroom.

He didn't need to go through 'Ah Lan' to find out what he wanted.

Of course, he wouldn't be foolish enough to try and devour 'Ah Lan's' soul.

It is known that 'Alan' and Zhuge Huowang have an inseparable relationship, and it is even very likely that 'Alan' is a split soul of Zhuge Huowang.

To use soul-path techniques on a fragment of a Soul Immortal's soul is tantamount to showing off one's skills before an expert, or displaying one's axe skills in front of Guan Yu.

With the River of Oblivion at his disposal, it would be incredibly easy for Wu Liang to pry open 'A Lan's' mouth.

All you have to do is extract this guy's soul and throw it into the River of Oblivion for a soak.

By then, he will know everything about this guy, no matter what secrets he has.

If we're lucky, we might even be able to get him to know some secrets about Zhuge Huowang.

"Whoosh!"

The Soul-Hooking Rope trembled violently and plunged directly into 'Ah Lan's' body, hooking onto something.

The next moment, a ball of eerie light was pulled out.

"what!!!"

The light flickered unpredictably, so he immediately decided to fight desperately and self-destruct his soul.

However, Wu Liang had already taken precautions against this and would not let him get his way.

With a thought, he unleashed a demon-suppressing iron chain that descended and bound Youguang.

Those Demon-Suppressing Iron Chains were originally used on the ninth floor of the Demon-Suppressing Tower to suppress the Blood River Ancestor.

Although Wu Liang can only barely mobilize a Demon-Suppressing Iron Chain Mushroom inside the tower, it still possesses the power of a fifth-level cultivator.

No matter how powerful this soul is, it is still just a fragment of a soul, and it is no match for the Demon-Suppressing Iron Chain Mushroom.

As the ghostly light was bound by the Demon-Suppressing Iron Chain Mushroom, its rapid expansion and near-explosion instantly ceased.

In no time, the ghostly light transformed into a tiny will-o'-the-wisp and fell into Wu Liang's hands.

Faintly, one could still hear curses emanating from within the will-o'-the-wisp.

Perhaps the soul has left the body and is no longer in a vessel, causing it to dissipate rapidly.

Only by fleeing to the underworld can the dissipation be stopped.

However, neither being completely annihilated nor returning to the underworld is what Wu Liang wants to see...

He had to extract the memories from this wisp of soul before it dissipated, only then could he consider it a success.

Thinking of this, Wu Liang glanced at Bone Master.

"Wait here, I'll take you out for a walk later..."

Master Gu had no objection to this and quickly agreed.

Wu Liang nodded slightly, and with a thought, he and his soul disappeared from the spot and appeared on the fourth floor of the Demon Suppression Tower.

At this moment, Yan Zhaodi was still refining the Void-Sealing Mushroom for him and could not get away for the time being.

Therefore, this time, he did not disturb Yan Zhaodi.

After Wu Liang arrived at the River of Oblivion without making a sound, he immediately threw that wisp of soul into it.

The soul struggled desperately in the River of Oblivion, but to no avail, and eventually sank to the bottom of the river.

Before long, fragments of memory surfaced one after another… (End of Chapter)
