Mushroom Man

"what sound?!"

Bai Xiaosheng frowned, a thought flashing through his mind.

The next moment, he found out exactly what the thing that made the sound was.

"Crash..."

The surging seawater poured into the cave, revealing two four-turn dragonfish, one gold and one silver.

Bai Xiaosheng was startled by the aura emanating from Tie Nu and dared not linger any longer.

Although Tie Nu possessed considerable strength and skill thanks to the Dragon Elephant Giant Mushroom, he was only a third-level mushroom master and could hardly pose any threat to Bai Xiaosheng.

What truly made Bai Xiaosheng wary was the existence of those at the fourth level.

One 'Mysterious Bone Master' Xiao Cha was already enough of a headache for him, and now two more fourth-level mushroom beasts have arrived, the pressure is unimaginable...

"Damn it, your Holy Church is using me and then discarding me, trying to kill me!"

Bai Xiaosheng was both shocked and furious. He decisively escaped from underground and got rid of the Iron Slave.

He had thought the infamous Holy Church was shameless, but he never imagined it would be this shameless!
Previously, when he cooperated with Buddhism, there was never any instance of him discarding the useful tool after it had served its purpose or going back on his word.

It can only be said that there is a reason why members of the Holy Church are like rats crossing the street, hated by everyone.

"hold head high!"

The golden and silver arowanas were extremely fast, like two bolts of lightning, one golden and one silver, attacking from both sides.

Meanwhile, Bone Master was not idle either.

While Tie Nu was entangled with Bai Xiaosheng, he had just recovered a lot of his true energy through the Tianyuan Lingzhi Mushroom.

He clasped his hands together and shouted, "Bone Forest!"

One by one, white bones emerged from the ground, breaking through the seawater and sealing off the entire underwater cave.

In an instant, the vast underwater cave seemed to have become a purgatory of bones.

The giant tree formed from bones stretched out its branches wildly, swarming towards Bai Xiaosheng.

Above and below, in the east, west, south, north, and all directions, enemies are everywhere.

Since leaving the Western Regions and arriving in the North Sea, Bai Xiaosheng had never experienced such a situation.

He gritted his teeth, steeled himself, and frantically channeled his inner energy, causing the jade disc to cover his body.

"Om-"

The jade disc spun wildly, and an invisible suction force spread outwards.

The golden and silver arowanas arrived first, crashing heavily into the jade plate.

The jade plate trembled slightly, affected by the slight disturbance.

Then came the bone forest of Bone Master, with a large number of bones entwined around him.

The jade disc spun continuously, crushing one skeleton after another.

When the dust settled, the jade disc stopped falling.

Perhaps due to the large amount of attacks it had endured in a short period of time, the small cracks on the surface of the jade plate that Wu Liang had previously created had quietly widened a bit.

However, no matter what, Bai Xiaosheng managed to withstand this offensive that would have driven most fourth-tier mushroom masters to despair.

"Whoosh..."

Bai Xiaosheng was panting heavily, and his face was visibly paler.

It is obvious that the energy consumption of activating the Jade Disc was not low.

After repeatedly blocking the attacks of the crowd, his true energy was already running low.

If this continues, even if these guys fail to break through the Jade Plate, he will die here due to exhaustion of his true energy.

"This can't go on..."

Taking advantage of this lull, Bai Xiaosheng quietly refined some silver liquid, and then immediately activated several mushrooms.

The Sword Dance Mushroom, Sword Step Mushroom, and Swimming Sword Mushroom, among others, combine to form a deadly attack.

Bai Xiaosheng wielded his longsword, and his movements became noticeably more agile and nimble.

With a swift movement, he slipped out of the encirclement as he danced.

The golden dragonfish tried to stop it and charged headlong at it, but it nimbly dodged the attack and was then stabbed by the sword.

The golden dragonfish, in pain, had no choice but to retreat temporarily. Bai Xiaosheng took several steps in quick succession, sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right, making him unpredictable.

"Huh, what a small skill."

Upon seeing this, Master Gu snorted coldly.

With a thought, the forest of white bones transformed into a cage that gradually contracted.

Now, Bai Xiaosheng is inside the Bone Forest. No matter how agile he is, he cannot stop the Bone Forest from shrinking rapidly.

Before long, Bai Xiaosheng was forced into a corner by Gu Zhenren.

"Shh!"

Left with no other choice, Bai Xiaosheng once again expended his true energy and casually unleashed a sword strike, shattering the forest of bones with its powerful sword light.

After he finished doing all this, he had very little true energy left. Without thinking, he transformed into a streak of sword light and escaped through the gap.

"Haha...we escaped!"

"You untrustworthy traitors of the Holy Cult, I, Bai Xiaosheng, will remember this grudge! Just you wait!"

The sword light that Bai Xiaosheng transformed into was extremely fast. After escaping the bone forest, it immediately left the underwater cave through the entrance.

After leaving the underwater cave, the spiritual pressure that had always been there vanished without a trace.

Bai Xiaosheng was like a fish in water in the deep sea.

Only then was his safety somewhat guaranteed.

Even if 'Xuan Gu Shangren Xiao Cha' and others chase after him, he is confident that he can rely on the Falling Jade Plate to withstand the attack and escape to Chaotic Star Island.

"Sigh, they couldn't stop them..."

"But judging by the timing, shouldn't the special envoy make his move by now?"

Gu Zhenren and Tie Nu stood at the cave entrance, coldly watching Bai Xiaosheng flee, without choosing to give chase.

Their mission is complete; now it's up to the special envoy.

Bai Xiaosheng knew nothing about this.

Once he was freed, Bai Xiaosheng didn't look back and sped off towards Chaotic Star Island without a second thought.

However, he had just transformed into a sword light and fled a short distance when his pupils suddenly contracted and he stopped.

Following his gaze forward...

Not far from the underwater cave, a person was sitting on a reef.

The man, dressed in red, had a blank expression and a disdainful look, as if he had been waiting there for a long time.

Without a doubt, this person was none other than Wu Liang, the 'Holy Envoy' whom Bai Xiaosheng feared like a tiger!
"You are weaker than I imagined..."

"I originally thought you would be freed from this sooner, but I didn't expect to have to wait so long."

Wu Liang spoke calmly, his tone cold and indifferent.

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaosheng felt a chill run down his spine.

He looked incredulous, as if he hadn't expected Wu Liang to be waiting there so early.

"impossible……"

"The Jade Disc clearly indicates that you should still be on Chaotic Star Island."

"Wait, you left that stone on the island?"

Bai Xiaosheng muttered to himself, then suddenly realized something and understood.

His face was grim, and his eyes were fixed on Wu Liang.

"Your Excellency, I have no grudge against your Holy Church and have no intention of provoking you."

"Now that I have pledged my allegiance, why do you still want to make things difficult for me?"

"If you don't want to return that rough stone, you can just say so. I don't want it anymore."

Bai Xiaosheng knew perfectly well that he could not possibly be a match for this Holy Church envoy.

In order to save his life, he decisively gave up the jade pendant and only asked it to spare his life.

However, Wu Liang merely raised his eyes slightly and uttered a single sentence...

"Too verbose." (End of Chapter)
