Mushroom Man

"What a trick!"

Bai Xiaosheng was secretly alarmed upon seeing this scene.

If he was not mistaken, this should be the helper that the Holy Church envoy had arranged for him.

Unexpectedly, the Holy Church has planted quite a few mushroom masters on this Chaotic Star Island.

To be able to unleash such a massive killing move, one must be a fourth-level mushroom master.

When did level 4 Mushroom Masters become so worthless?
It seems that the Holy See envoy didn't really get serious with him that day.

Otherwise, even if that guy doesn't make a move, he could probably die on Chaotic Star Island with just a single order.

"Damn it, who is it now?!"

At this moment, Yan Wuxin was completely panicked.

She urged the origami cranes to charge wildly, trying to break out of the bone forest.

However, the bone forest was everywhere, and the bones seemed to have eyes, swarming towards her.

Yan Wuxin tried desperately to escape, but to no avail.

Left with no other choice, she had to squeeze out the last bit of her true energy and scatter a large number of origami cranes.

The origami cranes touched the white bones and exploded with a deafening roar, sending flames soaring into the sky!
As expected, she blasted a gap in the vast forest of bones.

Yan Wuxin was like a drowning man grasping at the last straw.

Without a second thought, she headed toward the sliver of light emanating from the gap.

However, when she passed through the bone forest and flew into the gap, she met the Bone Immortal who had been waiting for a long time.

The so-called gap was actually created intentionally by Bone Immortal.

Don't underestimate him just because he's only a fourth-stage jumping zombie; the killing moves he unleashes possess some of the mysteries of a fifth-stage killing move.

Previously, Bone Master would not have been able to use such a powerful killing move at will.

But now Wu Liang has temporarily lent him the Heavenly Origin Spirit Mushroom, so that he no longer has any concerns about true qi and can unleash his killing move with peace of mind.

In this situation, how could a few paper cranes, which are not trustworthy, possibly break through?

"what!!!"

Bai Xiaosheng, who was standing outside, knew nothing about what was happening inside the Bone Forest.

He heard only one scream, and then the forest of bones crumbled inch by inch.

In no time at all, the vast forest of bones vanished without a trace, and the sea returned to calm, as if nothing had ever happened.

Bai Xiaosheng's expression hardened, as if he hadn't expected the battle to end so quickly.

He sensed something and followed the scent in a certain direction.

Then a throne of bones, made of all sorts of white bones, rose from the sea.

On the throne of bones sat a skeleton over ten feet tall, its eyes flickering with soul fire, its appearance sending chills down one's spine.

"This is... a zombie?"

Bai Xiaosheng, being knowledgeable and experienced, instantly noticed something amiss, and a look of surprise flashed across his face.

“I am the Venerable Xuan Gu of the Holy Sect… Xiao Cha.”

"I suppose you must be the newcomer that the Special Envoy mentioned?"

Gu Zhenren spoke in a hoarse, low voice, his tone deep and husky.

He casually made up a name without revealing his real name.

Wu Liang had given him prior instructions, warning him not to reveal the name of Bone Immortal.

And the reason is quite simple...

Gu Zhenren, Gu Zhenren, and even Morobi's Wu Zhenren all made public appearances at Bajiao Mountain, and were closely associated with each other.

Although Bajiao Mountain is located in the Western Regions, even if the mushroom masters of Beihai heard their names, they probably wouldn't react much, but it's better to be safe than sorry.

Especially that guy, Bai Xiaosheng!
Bai Xiaosheng had registered wanted posters for the Demon Extermination List and was well-versed in all kinds of intelligence.

He must know a great deal about the deeds of Bajiaoshan.

If Bone Immortal were to reveal his identity, with Bai Xiaosheng's exceptional intelligence, he would surely connect it to Wu Liang, the Mushroom Immortal. And in the current mushroom world, the title of Mushroom Immortal is already synonymous with the Nameless Celestial Venerable.

If Bai Xiaosheng (a famous strategist) were to figure out something, that would be troublesome.

That is why Master Bone called himself Master Xuan Gu, Xiao Cha.

As the saying goes, those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black.

Bone Immortal has followed Wu Liang for a long time and has learned a lot of the essence of the Dao of Manifestation.

And now that the performance was over, it did not arouse any suspicion from Bai Xiaosheng.

"So it's Fellow Daoist Xiao..."

"I am Bai Xiaosheng, and I have now submitted this so-called pledge of allegiance as instructed by your special envoy."

"When will your special envoy be able to fulfill the promise he made to me?"

Bai Xiaosheng bowed respectfully and asked a question.

He did not respond to the so-called newcomers of the Holy Church.

From beginning to end, his goal was to complete his pledge of loyalty, retrieve the Green Jade, and then escape.

As for joining the Holy Church?

Unless he's gone mad, he wouldn't even consider joining the infamous Holy Church.

You must know that once you enter the Holy Church, it's like entering a deep sea; from then on, you have no control over your own destiny.

As the successor of the Wuxiang lineage, he already attracted much attention and had to hide in various places.

Even so, if forced into a corner, he could rely on his relationship with Buddhism to seek refuge in the Pure Heaven Buddhist Kingdom and save his life.

However, if he joined the Holy Church, he would have no way out.

The Buddhist community has zero tolerance for religious sects; once someone joins a religious sect, there is only one outcome: a fight to the death.

Other forces, such as the Taoist sect and the Yellow Court, are in the same situation.

It can be said that joining the Holy Church is entirely harmful and offers no benefit.

Under these circumstances, how could Bai Xiaosheng dare to board this pirate ship?

If the Green Jade hadn't been so crucial, he probably would have fled long ago upon learning of the Holy Cult's presence on Chaotic Star Island.

"Hehe, no rush, no rush..."

"The Special Envoy is currently busy with important matters on the island and cannot spare the time."

"Now that you have pledged your allegiance, you are now a member of our Holy Church family."

"Our special envoy is a man of his word and will never treat you unfairly."

"Judging by the time, the special envoy should be finishing up soon."

"Why don't you come with me to the temporary cave to wait for the special envoy, and have a cup of tea and rest for a while?"

Gu Zhenren was friendly and made a suggestion, treating him as if he were one of his own.

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaosheng hesitated for a moment.

Going to someone else's territory when you're not familiar with them is a major taboo for mushroom growers when traveling!

However, considering that he had the Jade Plate protecting him, which naturally placed him in an invincible position, he thought there was no danger to speak of.

Moreover, he still needs to wait for the Holy Church's special envoy to retrieve the Azure Jade from him.

After hesitating for a moment, Bai Xiaosheng finally nodded in agreement.

Seeing that he agreed, the soul fire burning in Bone Immortal's eye sockets flickered slightly.

He grinned, and his mind began to stir.

The next moment, Bone Master secretly conveyed the message to Wu Liang through the Thread of Fate.

'Your Excellency, the plan is progressing smoothly...'

'The fish have taken the bait; we're just waiting for the adults to return so we can haul in the net…' (End of Chapter)
