Mushroom Man

Chapter 57: Taking a Poisonous Oath, Finally Gaining Strength

"hey-hey."

"The third thing is that the faction I belong to is quite interested in martial artists and would like to invite you to join us and plan great things together."

Chief Wu spoke softly, seeming to be full of sincerity.

However, Wu Xingzhe looked unhappy when he heard this, and rejected the "deal" without even thinking about it.

"absurd!"

"I am a high-ranking monk from the Songzi Temple, and a senior disciple of Abbot Shanren. How could I possibly associate with a bunch of you who hide your true identity and dare not even announce your family's identity?"

"You think you can control me with just an account book? You are too delusional..."

He really didn't want the abbot to know about the account book, thus exposing his dealings with the Wang family.

But he's not a fool...

If he really agreed to this evil villain and joined the force behind him.

Once the matter is exposed, he will have no room for maneuver, and will get deeper and deeper into trouble, with more and more evidence against him, and eventually he will be unable to extricate himself.

In this situation, any martial artist with a bit of common sense would not agree to this.

"Hey, why bother to refuse?"

Chief Wu shook his head, as if he had anticipated Wu Xingzhe's reaction.

He has been dealing with martial artists for many years, so he naturally knows what kind of person they are.

Therefore, he had no intention of letting him join their holy religion directly.

"I think Wu Xingzhe doesn't know much about the force I belong to, and now he has some concerns."

"Well, how about this..."

"Wu Xingzhe should complete the first two tasks first, and then decide for himself whether to join us."

"No matter what the outcome, the account books will be handed over to us without hesitation."

Chief Wu softened his tone and relaxed the conditions slightly.

After a lot of discussion, people felt that compared to joining them, the first two things did not seem unacceptable.

"Why should I trust you?"

Wu Xingzhe frowned and stared at Chief Wu.

"It's well known that you people in the Demonic Path never keep your word."

"What if I give you the Energy Mushrooms, and you go back on your word and continue to use it to blackmail me?"

Compared to letting him go to the Bronze Tower alone tomorrow, he obviously cares more about handing over the Energy Mushroom.

After all, as the mushroom that made him famous, the value of Energy Mushroom is self-evident.

Although handing over this mushroom will not cause him any serious injuries, his combat effectiveness will definitely decrease.

If that were all, it would be fine. He would grit his teeth and hand it over. After all, this mushroom was not that important to him now.

But the key point is, if this person goes back on his word, won't he lose both the wife and the army?

He didn't dare to gamble with the reputation of a demonic thief...

"Hahaha, Wu Xingzhe really knows how to joke."

"Whether you believe it or not, do you still have room to refuse?"

"Whether you believe it or not, I have nothing to lose."

"On the contrary, if I reveal everything about you and the Wang family, you will be in big trouble."

Chief Wu sneered and did not indulge Wu Xingzhe. His words were full of threats.

But he didn't push it too hard and added one more sentence at the end.

"If you really don't trust me, you can use the channel to impose some restrictions."

"I happen to have such a method here. What do you think, Master Wu Xing?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Xingzhe was silent for a moment.

He wondered in his mind if he could take action now, could he detain this person and bury this secret completely.

But he soon gave up the idea.

After all, this person's words and deeds clearly showed that there was someone else who knew about this matter. Even if he could keep this person, he probably wouldn't be able to prevent the secret from being exposed.

Thinking of this, Wu Xingzhe took a deep breath and said in a cold voice: "It's okay to set a restriction, but you can't use your methods."

"I have a poisonous oath mushroom here. If you swear an oath with this mushroom, anyone who breaks it will have their dantian completely destroyed at best, or die and turn into a pool of pus and blood at worst."

"There are very few people in the Four Realms today who can break this mushroom. If you are truly sincere, please swear an oath with me."

As soon as he finished speaking, he took out a third-level poisonous oath mushroom.

This mushroom is a one-time consumable mushroom. Although it only has three turns, it is widely circulated among Taoist mushroom masters.

Because of its advantages such as being difficult to crack and having strong binding force, it is deeply loved by mushroom masters in all regions.

"Well, since you have the poisonous oath mushroom, it saves me a lot of trouble."

Chief Wu narrowed his eyes and hesitated for only a moment before swearing a solemn oath with Wu Xingzhe...

It is agreed that both parties shall not play tricks or go back on their words.

Once Wu Xingzhe completes those three tasks, the account book will be handed over unconditionally and the matter must not be leaked again.

As the oaths of both parties took effect, the poisonous oath mushroom absorbed the blood and sweat of both parties and suddenly exploded!

Specks of red light merged into the bodies of the two people and sank into their respective dantians.

After doing all this, Wu Xingzhe's expression finally eased a little.

He snorted coldly and took out the fourth-level energy mushroom without saying a word.

The fourth-level energy mushroom has a strange shape, is thick and large, and jumps from time to time.

"take it."

Wu Xingzhe, with a gloomy face, handed the mushroom to Chief Wu.

Chief Wu chuckled and said, "As expected of a martial artist, you are really quick and decisive in your work."

"I'll take my leave. I'll bring the Sekong doll to you later."

He was anxious to return and report, so after getting the energy mushroom, he disappeared into the darkness.

After he left, Wu Xingzhe could no longer suppress his anger, and veins bulged on his forehead.

"There are only two people in the world who know about this: I and the King."

"This person knows about this matter, it must be the clan leader's secret instruction."

"It seems that this demonic force must have the presence of Patriarch Wang."

When he thought of this, he felt murderous intent in his heart.

What a great royal patriarch!

How dare you secretly communicate with the evil forces!
Of course, if that were all, Wu Xingzhe would at most turn a blind eye, after all, he still had the leverage over him in someone else's hands.

But Patriarch Wang should never have been so greedy as to force him into this situation.

It would have been fine if she just asked him for silver water every month, but she even dared to tell others about it, causing them to come and take away his energy mushrooms.

You are so greedy. Do you really think he is made of clay?

The warrior gnashed his teeth and had already made up his mind to find an opportunity to take revenge.

At the same time, on the other side...

"Mr. Special Envoy, I have accomplished your mission."

"I have already told Wu Xingzhe everything you instructed me to do."

"This is Wu Xingzhe's energy mushroom, please take a look."

Chief Wu knelt on the ground and handed over the energy mushroom very respectfully.

"Very good, you did a good job."

Wu Liang dispelled the darkness, revealing his figure with an indifferent expression.

Chief Wu secretly raised his head and saw that he had the face of Shikong, and his cultivation seemed to be only at the second level.

For a moment, his eyelids moved slightly, and different thoughts were about to emerge.

However, the next moment, Wu Liang took the fourth-level energy mushroom in front of him and refined it in an instant!
