Mushroom Man

Chapter 555 Breaking Promises, Murderous Intent Revealed

Undersea cave.

The place is littered with skeletons, eerie and terrifying.

However, two people were chatting and laughing, exchanging toasts.

Bai Xiaosheng sipped his strong tea slowly, seemingly relaxed, but in reality, he remained vigilant at all times.

"Brother Xiao, I wonder what mission the special envoy has? Why has he been busy on the island for so long and has not returned yet?"

Bai Xiaosheng grew impatient, so he put down his teacup and asked indirectly.

He possesses the Jade Disc, which allows him to sense the location of the Azure Jade.

At this very moment, in his perception, the Holy Church envoy remained on the island without moving an inch.

This made him suspicious...

Logically speaking, it's been several hours already; even if they're busy, they should be back by now, right?
"Haha, Your Excellency is carrying out a grand plan for the Holy Church, so perhaps something has delayed you."

"We are of lowly status, how dare we presume to guess the Special Envoy's thoughts?"

As the saying goes, "Haste makes waste."

"Your Excellency need not worry, it will only take a little longer."

Master Gu chuckled and made up an excuse to get away with it.

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaosheng had no choice but to give up.

Since we've already waited, a little longer won't make a difference.

Thinking of this, he immediately calmed down and waited patiently.

Time passes bit by bit...

Bai Xiaosheng unconsciously tapped his fingers lightly on the stone table, making a tapping sound.

He waited for three or four hours.

Even so, the Holy See's special envoy still did not leave the island.

The patience that Bai Xiaosheng had painstakingly built up was gradually being worn away.

at last!

He couldn't take it anymore and immediately stood up, making a move to leave.

Bone Master, who was continuously extracting true energy through the Heavenly Origin Spirit Mushroom, opened his eyes and asked with some surprise, "Where are you going, sir?"

"Aren't we going to wait for the special envoy to return?"

Without turning his head, Bai Xiaosheng waved his hand and said, "The special envoy has not returned for a long time, so there is no point in us staying here."

"I intend to return to Chaotic Star Island and personally go to the special envoy to see what the situation is."

Upon hearing this, Master Gu immediately advised, "Sir, returning to Chaotic Star Island now would be like walking into a trap."

"You caused quite a stir on the island in your attempt to prove your loyalty."

"Right now, the people in the Star Palace are probably looking for you everywhere."

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaosheng paused slightly.

He was well aware that the man was not exaggerating.

The reason he was willing to wait patiently for the Holy Church's special envoy instead of actively searching for him on the island was because he was wary of the Star Palace.

If he could, he really wouldn't want to go back to Chaotic Star Island.

But now that the Holy Church's special envoy has not returned for a long time, he has a vague feeling that something is wrong.

Bai Xiaosheng has always trusted his intuition.

From childhood to adulthood, his intuition has never been wrong.

He simply didn't know where this sense of crisis came from.

Is it from the Star Palace, or from the Holy Church?

Bai Xiaosheng had no idea, but in any case, it was always better to get the Green Jade and run away as soon as possible.

His identity is too sensitive, and his methods are quite conspicuous and obvious.

Just now, in order to prove his loyalty, he chased and killed Yan Wuxin in public, which is already a taboo.

If there were a mushroom master on Chaotic Star Island who had connections with Buddhism or knew about the successor of the Formless Sect, he would probably be easily exposed.

Under these circumstances, Chaotic Star Island was no longer a place for him to linger. He had to run away immediately, otherwise, who knew what trouble might follow.

Bai Xiaosheng dared not gamble on whether anyone on Chaotic Star Island would recognize him.

However, before running away, he had to get his hands on the Green Jade.

That's why, even though she knew that Hoshiguma might be on the island, she was searching for him everywhere.

Without much hesitation, Bai Xiaosheng immediately headed out of the cave.

However, he had only taken two steps...

But then Gu Zhenren moved and stood in front of him.

"Please don't leave yet!"

"I have not yet fulfilled my duty as host. If I let you leave like this, the special envoy will surely blame me."

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaosheng's expression instantly darkened, realizing the source of his inexplicable sense of crisis.

"Does your Holy Church intend to go back on its word?"

Bai Xiaosheng spoke in an unfriendly tone, his face grim, and questioned him.

Master Gu waved his hands repeatedly and said with a smile, "You've misunderstood."

"I just don't want you to run out at this time and be discovered by the people of the Star Palace."

"What if the people from the Star Palace, through you, trace the Holy Church and discover its traces? Wouldn't that be troublesome?"

"Is that so..." Bai Xiaosheng remained noncommittal, seemingly believing Gu Zhenren's explanation.

But the next moment, his eyes suddenly sharpened, and he changed the subject.

"Unfortunately, I don't believe it!"

"Stop trying to fool me with your lies. If you were really worried that the Star Palace would discover the Holy Church's whereabouts, why would you make me pay some kind of pledge of allegiance in public?"

"And the commotion you caused was no less than mine."

"Why didn't you say anything back then? Were you worried that the Star Palace would discover the Holy Cult?"

Bai Xiaosheng sneered, and then made a decisive and ruthless attack!

Despite the pressure from the mid-grade spiritual spring, he forcefully activated the Falling Jade Plate.

The jade disc spun rapidly and crashed into Bone Immortal.

As a jumping zombie, Bone Immortal's thoughts naturally turn slower than those of a human.

In this situation, how could one possibly react in time?

Just listen to a loud "bang"!
Bone Master was directly knocked away by the Falling Jade Plate and crashed into the rocks, where he remained motionless.

However, Bai Xiaosheng knew clearly that the attack just now had not killed him.

This guy is a member of the Holy Church, after all; he can't be dealt with so easily.

Upon realizing this, Bai Xiaosheng did not hesitate at all and immediately rushed out of the cave.

For now, he doesn't need to get entangled with this 'Mysterious Bone Master' any further.

His safety can be guaranteed as long as he leaves this place.

At that time, he would have ample choice: whether to continue insisting on obtaining the Green Jade or prioritize saving his life and fleeing this dangerous place immediately.

One can only say that he truly deserves to be called the successor of the Formless lineage!

They act decisively, yet are quick-witted and cautious, making them truly difficult to handle.

It was only a slight hint that something was wrong, and the situation has developed into what it is today.

As Bai Xiaosheng gradually approached the cave entrance, the pressure decreased, and he was able to barely stimulate the mushrooms.

However, before he could even catch his breath, Bone Master's voice rang out.

"Your methods are impressive..."

“A talent like you is indeed worthy of joining my Holy Church.”

"So...you should stay!"

The old, hoarse voice of the Bone Immortal echoed throughout the underwater cave, lingering for a long time.

As soon as he finished speaking, a deadly move that had been prepared for a long time was quietly unleashed!
