Mushroom Man

"The Azure Jade has actually moved..."

Bai Xiaosheng's expression shifted between light and shadow as thoughts raced through his mind.

There are only two possible reasons for this situation!

Firstly, the owner of the Green Jade left the Chaotic Star Gambling House without knowing the truth.

Secondly, someone else found the Green Jade Precious Stone before him and bought it.

If it's the former, that's fine; if it's the latter...

Bai Xiaosheng's face turned ugly, and his mood instantly plummeted.

He had been lingering at the Chaotic Star Casino for months, and nothing like this had ever happened before.

Regardless of the possibility, he had to stop it before it completely left.

The Green Jade is extremely important to him, its value comparable to a magic mushroom, and he cannot allow it to fall into the hands of others under any circumstances.

Bai Xiaosheng's thoughts raced, and although he seemed to have been thinking for a long time, in reality it was only a matter of a moment.

Once he made up his mind, he immediately followed the direction indicated by the falling jade plate and chased after the outside of the Chaotic Star Gambling House.

And at this moment...

After leaving the Chaotic Star Gambling House, Wu Liang strolled around leisurely with a relaxed expression.

The fox-eared boy, now influenced by the impermanence of human faces, had transformed into a handsome young man who looked almost identical to a human.

As soon as he stepped out of the Chaotic Star Casino, he couldn't stop looking around, as if looking for an opportunity to escape.

However, because of the collared mushroom, no matter how much the boy longed for freedom, it was all in vain.

Wu Liang wouldn't give him a chance to escape, or he would waste the four-turn Chengfeng mushrooms he had paid to buy him.

"It's just as I expected..."

"The target of that Bai Xiaosheng fellow is indeed the stepping stone in my hand that hides a precious jade."

"Judging from the fact that Bai Xiaosheng was able to detect Baoyu's movements immediately, this guy must have some kind of means to track Baoyu."

"In that case, my previous deduction should be correct."

Wu Liang narrowed his eyes, already sensing the approaching Bai Xiaosheng based on the feedback from the One Line Connection.

He showed no panic whatsoever; instead, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, as if he had everything under control.

Wu Liang pretended not to know and did nothing.

However, his route was subtly changing, as if he was deliberately heading towards some remote and uninhabited places.

At the same time, Bai Xiaosheng followed the Falling Jade Plate for a while and immediately locked onto Wu Liang and the fox-eared boy who were carrying the Green Jade.

Now Wu Liang has completely changed his appearance and become a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance, who would be inconspicuous in a crowd.

To onlookers, the way he led the fox-eared boy was just that of a perfectly normal father and son.

Therefore, Bai Xiaosheng did not see anything special.

Perhaps it was because Wu Liang concealed his aura, only revealing his third-level cultivation.

Without hesitation, Bai Xiaosheng followed, intending to find an opportunity to kill and steal the treasure.

To avoid alerting the enemy, he could also use the Concealment Mushroom to hide his figure and conceal his whereabouts.

If it were someone else, they probably wouldn't have been able to spot this guy.

However, what Bai Xiaosheng never expected was...

He had already been exposed to Wu Liang several days ago and had a connection planted in his mind.

Now, all of his whereabouts are completely clear to Wu Liang, leaving him nowhere to hide.

"Looks like it was a false alarm..."

"It's probably because this guy bought a lot of stones from somewhere, and it just so happens that there was some Qingmao jade among them."

As Bai Xiaosheng followed Wu Liang, he pondered to himself.

In his eyes, Wu Liang was just an ordinary third-level mushroom master.

He was neither a successor of the Formless lineage nor a powerful mushroom master, so it was impossible for him to know anything about the Azure Jade. Moreover, Wu Liang, this 'middle-aged man,' had entrusted a large pile of stones to that first-stage youth because carrying them was too troublesome.

If he knew anything about the Green Jade and what kind of treasure it was, he wouldn't have so carelessly entrusted it to a child for safekeeping.

Bai Xiaosheng's thoughts wandered, and he felt somewhat at ease.

At that moment, he noticed that Wu Liang and the boy had suddenly disappeared into a secluded alley.

Bai Xiaosheng frowned, and taking advantage of his concealed presence, he quickly gave chase.

However, to his surprise, when he entered the alley, he found that it was a dead end!

Moreover, Wu Liang and the boy, who had just entered this place, mysteriously disappeared without a trace for some unknown reason.

"not good!"

Upon seeing this, Bai Xiaosheng's pupils suddenly contracted.

He immediately understood that he must have been exposed for some reason.

The seemingly harmless, low-level 'father and son' had clearly lured him here on purpose!

Upon realizing this, Bai Xiaosheng turned around and left without a second thought.

However, when he turned around, he was surprised to find that Wu Liang and the boy had somehow gotten around to the alley entrance and were blocking it.

Throughout this entire process, he was completely unaware and oblivious.

"Damn it, I was careless..."

Bai Xiaosheng's face darkened, realizing that he had misjudged the situation and had run into a tough opponent.

The fact that this person was able to discover him and appear behind him without him noticing clearly indicates that their strength is far beyond that of a mere third-level mushroom master.

This guy is playing dumb to lure him in as a big fish!

"This fellow Taoist..."

"If I remember correctly, I have no grudge against you."

"If that's the case, why are you tracking us? Do you intend to do something nefarious?"

"Could it be that they intend to rob us and kill my son?"

Wu Liang, playing the role of a middle-aged Taoist priest, had a frosty face and an icy tone as he questioned him.

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaosheng revealed himself, opened his mouth, and was about to explain.

However, before he could even speak, Wu Liang impatiently flicked his sleeves.

"Fine, fine, I can't be bothered to listen to your excuses!"

"Since you dare to plot against me, then leave your life behind!"

After Wu Liang finished speaking, he raised his hand towards Bai Xiaosheng without saying another word!
Three-stage Yu Dao mushroom... suction mushroom!

In an instant, an invisible suction force enveloped Bai Xiaosheng.

Caught off guard, Bai Xiaosheng was involuntarily thrown towards Wu Liang.

His expression changed slightly, and he quickly turned around, transforming into a sharp sword to escape the inexplicable suction force.

"Master Yu Dao Mushroom Master!"

"Huh? A Kendo Mushroom Master?"

Wu Liang and Bai Xiaosheng distanced themselves from each other, and simultaneously revealed each other's schools of thought.

Of course, both of them actually had their own secrets and did not reveal their true strength.

For example, Wu Liang is outwardly a Yu Dao mushroom master, but in reality, he is also a blood Dao mushroom master with extremely terrifying blood Dao methods.

As the successor of the Wuxiang lineage, Bai Xiaosheng is no ordinary person either...

If Wu Liang were to pay attention to information from the righteous path, he would discover that the true nature of the successor of Wuxiang has already been largely exposed.

Among them, Bai Xiaosheng, the successor of the Wuxiang lineage, is known on the Demon-Slaying List as the infamous... Deadly Scholar! (End of Chapter)
