Mushroom Man

"How can it be?!"

Upon hearing the noise, Yan Wuxin's expression changed drastically.

She looked on in disbelief and quickly gazed into the depths of the billowing smoke.

Then Bai Xiaosheng, looking disgusted, covered his mouth and nose and walked out of the thick smoke unharmed.

A flawless white jade plate spun around above his head.

Clearly, the explosion was completely blocked by the Falling Jade Plate.

"Mushroom, mushroom house!"

Yan Wuxin's pupils suddenly contracted as he recognized the true nature of Luo Yupan.

Suddenly, she felt a chill run down her spine and a sense of despair washed over her.

Who would have thought that the Holy Church would send someone with the power of the Ordinary Mushroom House to deal with her, an unknown nobody?

Such a figure would likely be a prominent figure in the Western Regions and the Northern Sea.

What merit or ability does she possess that warrants such a massive mobilization of the Holy Church?

She's been keeping a low profile enough, so why did she still manage to cause trouble?
What exactly did the Holy Church see in her?
Could it be simply because she is the young patriarch of the Yan family?

No, that's not right...

In the eyes of a behemoth like the Holy Church, the Yan family was nothing, so how could they possibly come after her for this?

He was utterly perplexed by Yan Wuxin's lack of integrity and was in a state of extreme distress.

"These origami cranes are quite interesting..."

"Unfortunately, you're still far from being able to kill me..."

Bai Xiaosheng chuckled lightly, his face calm and composed.

joke!

Even the Holy Church's special envoy, who could be described as a prodigy, was unable to subdue him.

With this guy's explosive ability, trying to break his Jade Plate is simply wishful thinking.

"Oh, right!"

"This move of yours seems somewhat familiar to me."

"If I'm not mistaken, you wouldn't happen to be the only lucky survivor of the Yan family in the Western Regions, would you?"

"I think it's called something like... 'Untrustworthy'?"

"So... keeping one's word is being untrustworthy, and being untrustworthy is keeping one's word?"

Bai Xiaosheng seemed to remember something and spoke up as if he had just realized something.

As the author of the Demon Extermination List, he had issued a warrant for Yan Wuxin's arrest under the instructions of the Buddhist sect.

(This is mentioned in Chapter 2 of Volume 2.)
Naturally, he knew at least a smattering of information about Yan Wuxin, if not everything.

Bai Xiaosheng did not recognize Yan Wuxin at first.

But when Yan Wuxin used the Yan family's signature move, he immediately recognized him.

They shared the same surname, Yan, and both knew Daoist methods. According to the information provided by the Buddhist sect, Yan Wuxin had also arrived in Beihai.

With so many coincidences piled up, it is no longer a coincidence.

For a moment, Bai Xiaosheng's eyes flickered, and he seemed to be deep in thought.

The person the Holy Church envoy ordered him to capture was none other than the young patriarch of the Yan family.

This young patriarch of the Yan family is said to be closely related to the Wu family's successor.

Could it be that the Wu-surname successor was also forced to join the Holy Sect?

Bai Xiaosheng's mind raced as he secretly speculated.

What he didn't know was that his wild thoughts had somehow come a little closer to the truth.

At the same time, Bai Xiaosheng's words revealed Yan Wuxin's true identity.

At this moment, Yan Wuxin's mind was slightly disturbed.

"good chance!"

Bai Xiaosheng keenly sensed this fluctuation and once again unleashed the killing move he had prepared... Words are the most hurtful swords!

The invisible and intangible sword, capable of inflicting harm, pierced through the air in an instant and landed in Yan Wuxin's heart.

"puff!"

Yan Wuxin spat out a mouthful of blood, suffering severe injuries and nearly fainting.

This is why Wu Liang had given prior instructions to Bai Xiaosheng to capture him alive.

Otherwise, after being verbally abused twice, Yan Wuxin would have been dead long ago. "Cough, I can't die yet..."

Yan Wuxin's expression was ferocious, and his eyes blazed with a strong will to survive.

She has not yet fulfilled her father's last wish to restore the Yan family's glory, nor has she yet proven to her father that a woman is not necessarily inferior to a man.

She has so many things left undone, how could she collapse in a place like this?

Escape! We must escape immediately!
Yan Wuxin once again scattered a large number of origami cranes.

Seeing this, Bai Xiaosheng mistakenly thought that this guy was going to use the same trick again.

Little did she know that this was just a smokescreen by Yan Wuxin. Taking advantage of the opportunity, she hurriedly climbed onto a paper crane and fled for her life without looking back.

"Ha, you think you can get away?"

Bai Xiaosheng lightly waved his folding fan, sneering repeatedly.

With a thought, he activated the Falling Jade Plate, sealing off all of Yan Wuxin's escape routes.

The only thing that was 'missed' was the road leading to the outside of the island.

If it were before, Yan Wuxin would have definitely seen through this trap.

But now she was in a panic and didn't think twice before riding the origami crane straight to the outside of the island.

Upon seeing this, Bai Xiaosheng chuckled and then moved swiftly, following closely behind!

……

Meanwhile, inside the side room of the Golden Pavilion.

Wu Liang slowly opened his eyes and turned off the image projected by the Wuxiang Order.

He smiled slightly, quite satisfied with the result.

"Bai Xiaosheng did not disappoint me."

"As expected, this guy forced Yan Wuxin away from Chaotic Star Island according to plan."

"Once they leave Chaotic Star Island, without those troublesome Star Palace Mushroom Masters, we can take the opportunity to wipe them all out in one fell swoop."

"However, with this, Bone Master alone might not be enough to defeat Bai Xiaosheng."

"It seems I can only appease Bai Xiaosheng for now and make further plans once I have some free time..."

Wu Liang was lost in thought, but he had already made up his mind.

With Master Gu on Bai Xiaosheng and Yan Wuxin's side, they can temporarily stabilize the situation.

He also needs to speed things up and complete the transaction as soon as possible so he can leave.

Upon thinking of this, Wu Liang's mind immediately stirred.

The next moment, a blood-red figure slowly emerged.

The blood-shadow figure nodded slightly to him, and then transformed into the appearance of the Upper Star Elder.

The 'Elder of the Upper Stars' is indistinguishable from the real Elder in both appearance and aura.

This is thanks to the refinement of the Imitation Mushroom; otherwise, it would never have been able to achieve such a lifelike appearance.

Following Wu Liang's wishes, the 'Elder of the Upper Stars' quickly and quietly bypassed the senior management.

He pretended to have just arrived and appeared on the first floor of the Golden Building.

When someone from the Zhenlong caravan saw him, they quickly ran to inform the young master of Zhenlong and the senior executives.

Unlike meeting Wu Liang in person...

This time, Young Master Zhenlong and his executives certainly put on quite a grand show.

They all came downstairs to greet us, all smiles and extremely respectful.

"Welcome, senior star. We apologize for not greeting you properly."

Young Master Zhenlong clasped his hands in a respectful bow, referring to himself as a junior.

Elder Shangxing, also known as Wu Liang, nodded slightly and said, "Young friend, there's no need for such formalities..."

"There are too many people around here, let's find a quiet place so we can have a proper talk about the transaction."

Young Master Zhenlong seemed somewhat surprised upon hearing this.

He hadn't expected that Elder Shangxing would be so serious, getting straight to the point right away.

However, this is a good thing for him.

After all, this proves that the Elder Shangxing attaches great importance to the sale of bubble fish.

Without giving it much thought, Young Master Zhenlong quickly invited Wu Liang's blood-red figure into the main room... (End of Chapter)
