Mushroom Man

Chapter 89: Bribing the Patriarch and Giving Him Inheritance (Please Subscribe)

"Special Envoy, you..."

"Are you okay?"

Upon seeing this, Chief Wu immediately showed concern on his face and spoke.

He narrowed his eyes and looked at Wu Liang cautiously.

At this time, Wu Liang had just come out of Doctor Mo's memory. He was not fully conscious yet and his head was dizzy.

In this situation, he almost lost his composure in front of Chief Wu.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, he came to his senses and forced himself to suppress his discomfort, thus saving his face.

Wu Liang had a blank expression on his face and pretended to be calm.

He glanced at Chief Wu and said coldly, "What can I do?"

Upon hearing this, Chief Wu immediately smiled awkwardly, lowered his head, and complimented him.

"As expected of you, the Special Envoy. Even though you haven't practiced the Soul Dao, your soul foundation far exceeds that of Mushroom Master. It's simply unfathomable."

"If it were an ordinary mushroom master, after searching his soul for so long, he would probably have a splitting headache and be unconscious."

"It takes so long to search my soul?" Wu Liang's heart moved, and he finally understood why he felt so uncomfortable.

It turns out there is a time limit for soul searching!
Damn Chief Wu for not telling him in advance!

If he had not frequently activated the Fraud Mushroom in the past, he would have always been exhausted and would have been accustomed to the feeling of dizziness and splitting headache.

This time, he might lose his composure and faint.

By then, his disguise as a special envoy of the Holy Church, which he had done so much trouble to do, would probably become a laughing stock.

However, at this moment, if Chief Wu had the ability to read minds and knew what Wu Liang was thinking, he would definitely feel extremely aggrieved.

After all, who could have imagined that the special envoy who was suspected to be the mushroom fairy didn't even know the taboos of soul searching.

Fortunately, Wu Liang did not dwell on this too much.

At this moment, his mind was completely focused on digesting Doctor Mo's memory.

"I didn't expect that Doctor Mo is actually a traitor to the Holy Church..."

A strange look flashed in Wu Liang's eyes.

This is really a case of an unexpected success.

Who could have imagined that the lie he told would turn out to be the truth.

No wonder Doctor Mo, as a member of the Holy Church, lives in the small town of Zhaodi.

"Zhuge Huo is strong, Tai Sui mushroom..."

Wu Liang had a lot of thoughts in his mind, and the gains from this soul search were indeed huge.

Not only did he learn that Doctor Mo's master was the lucky one who inherited the formless tradition and ascended to become an immortal decades ago.

He even learned that the unknown mushroom recipe he had seen in the abbot's meditation room that day was actually an incomplete recipe for fairy mushrooms!
"Taisui mushrooms bring great fortune, but offending them will bring bad luck."

"Even the deception mushroom is probably far inferior to this magical effect."

Wu Liang had a lot of thoughts in his mind, and his heart couldn't help but move.

If he remembered correctly, the incomplete recipe mentioned that a large amount of Sheli Mushroom was needed to refine the Tai Sui Mushroom.

Now it seems that the reason why there are so few relic mushrooms in Songzi Temple is probably because the abbot took them away to refine mushrooms.

"I wonder if the abbot has refined the Tai Sui mushroom yet."

"Judging from the incomplete Immortal Mushroom recipe, it's probably wishful thinking to think of refining the Tai Sui Immortal Mushroom."

"However, if we can refine a fifth-level Tai Sui mushroom, with the years of hard work of the abbot and Doctor Mo, it shouldn't be a problem."

Wu Liang seemed to be thinking about something, but he quickly suppressed these distracting thoughts and stopped daydreaming.

He raised his eyes slightly, his gaze fell on Chief Wu, and said lightly: "It's a pity that what you captured this time was just a remnant soul."

"His memory is too vague, and many things are only briefly mentioned, making it of little use."

"The only thing we know at the moment is that this person and Abbot Shanren seem to be secretly planning something without telling our sect."

"Heh, it seems like the next person we have to deal with is Abbot Shanren..."

The special envoy wants to deal with Abbot Shanren?
When Chief Wu heard this, he was shocked.

But soon, he reacted.

With the presence of the special envoy, with his identity as a mushroom fairy, if he wants to deal with the abbot Shanren, wouldn't that be an easy task?

Thinking of this, Chief Wu opened his mouth and was about to say something.

However, Wu Liang seemed to see what he was thinking and spoke up to stop him.

"I came to Zhaodi Town this time with a grand plan. I will not take action until the critical moment."

"Patriarch Wu should know what the consequences would be if a celestial being came to Earth, right?"

Wu Liang stopped talking and spoke in a calm tone.

as a result of?

What consequences?
When Chief Wu heard this, he was stunned.

But soon, he vaguely remembered that this matter seemed to have been mentioned in the inheritance given by Doctor Mo.

It is said that because of the Four Symbols Boundary Wall, if the mushroom fairies in the sky come to the Four Continents, they will be affected by the boundary wall.

And the more powerful the mushroom fairy is, the more serious the impact will be.

As a result, there are very few mushroom fairies walking around the four continents, and even if there are mushroom fairies, they will not take action easily.

"I see……"

“No wonder the special envoy was reluctant to take action and capture this traitor of the Holy Church when dealing with Doctor Mo earlier.”

"It turns out that the special envoy was affected by the Four Symbols Boundary Wall and could not act rashly."

Chief Wu suddenly understood and spoke.

Wu Liang nodded slightly, looking like a teachable child.

However, no one could have imagined that he had just learned the news.

Wu Liang saw that Chief Wu only knew one side of the story about the Four Symbols Boundary Wall.

Obviously, he knew as little as he did.

In this situation, he immediately felt relieved, touched his lips, and began to talk nonsense.

"Indeed, the Four Symbols Boundary Wall has a great influence on me."

"I still need time to recover. If I force my way in during this period, I won't be able to stay here for long, and it will inevitably hinder the Holy Church's plan."

Wu Liang stood up, hands behind his back, and said calmly, "And the abbot Shanren, who is only at the fifth level of cultivation, is not worth my forced action."

"Now I have laid out a grand plan. You just need to follow my orders. Dealing with Abbot Shanren will be a piece of cake."

When Chief Wu met the special envoy, he spoke so confidently and did not take the abbot seriously at all.

For a moment, I felt a little more confident.

"Clan Leader Wu..."

"You have made an invaluable contribution in eliminating the traitors of the Holy Church."

"Now it is enough to prove that you are loyal to the Holy Church."

"I am very pleased and will certainly not treat you unfairly."

Wu Liang turned around, looked at Chief Wu, and suddenly said these words.

"Your Majesty the Special Envoy..."

Chief Wu's breathing became rapid, as if he had realized something, and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.

"I know that you are wholeheartedly seeking immortality and aiming to ascend to heaven."

"Now, in Zhaodi Town, there just happens to be such an immortal opportunity."

"I wish to bestow upon you the inheritance of the Wuxiang, what is your opinion?"

Wu Liang spoke indifferently, as if the Wuxiang inheritance was already in his hands and could be given to others at will.

As the saying goes, if you want a horse to run fast, you have to let it eat more grass.

Wu Liang knew very well that if he didn't give this guy some benefits.

If something goes wrong in the future, this "loyal" dog might suddenly bite him back.

In this case, just in case and to appease this good dog, the necessary sweet treats must be given.

"Give me the Wuxiang inheritance?" Clan leader Wu couldn't hide his excitement and asked quickly, "What does the special envoy mean?"

Wu Liang was quite satisfied with his reaction and spoke in a calm tone.

"As early as when I first arrived in Zhaodi Town, I took forceful action and seized partial control of the Wuxiang inheritance."

"That's why you were able to come and go freely on the first floor of the Bronze Tower without being affected."

"Now, I would like to use this opportunity to help you obtain the Wuxiang inheritance before Abbot Shanren."

When Wu Liang said this, his voice paused.

After Chief Wu had digested everything, he continued to speak.

"However, this move will undoubtedly provoke Abbot Shanren into a corner."

"By then, who knows, your Wu family might be destroyed in an instant."

"I wonder if you would be willing?"

"If you don't want to, don't force yourself. There are plenty of opportunities for immortality anyway, but it may not be so easy..."

Before Wu Liang finished speaking, the head of the Wu clan couldn't wait to take over the conversation.

"Special Envoy, I am willing!"

"As long as I can ascend to become an immortal, I will not hesitate to climb mountains of swords and descend into seas of fire!"

"Whoever dares to stand in my way will be killed by me, even if it's Abbot Shanren!"

“As for the Wu family… I think my clansmen would be overjoyed if they knew about this.”

"Sacrificing their small selves to fulfill my greater self is a great bargain!"

Chief Wu spoke without blushing or getting nervous.

With just a few words, he made a decision on behalf of all the members of the Wu family that went against their ancestors.

This shows how cruel he is.

Wu Liang despised it in his heart, but pretended to appreciate it on the surface. He nodded and said, "Okay, people like me in the Holy Church should have this awareness."

"Once this storm is over, I will personally take you to inherit the Wuxiang inheritance."

"But now, we still need to deal with the current affairs."

"Chief Wu, it's time to wake up these two little guys."

Having said this, he did not forget to give a few special instructions, asking Chief Wu to tell Yan Wuxin and Wu De that it was he who cured the poison.

Although Chief Wu felt a little surprised when he heard this, he did not dare to neglect it and quickly agreed.

He walked to the side of Yan Wuxin and Wu De, and activated some kind of mushroom, but in a short while, the two of them woke up.

"Master... Chief, what are we doing?"

Wu De rubbed his eyes, looking confused.

Yan Wuxin frowned and checked his condition immediately. Seeing that he was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Chief Wu coughed, and his previous humble demeanor changed, becoming serious in an instant.

He cut to the chase and explained the whole story, using an excuse that was basically the same as Wu Liang's previous fabricated story.

"what?!"

"How could a magic mushroom master be so audacious as to trespass into the Wu family's territory and attack us right in front of the clan leader?"

Wu De was greatly shocked. He really couldn't understand how such evil villains could be so rampant.

You should know that the clan leader is one of the few fourth-level mushroom masters in Zhaodi Town.

If this magic mushroom master had any common sense, he would not have dared to mess with the old man.

However, such a thing happened. Isn't this seeking death?

Clan Leader Wu stood with his hands behind his back and said in a deep voice, "I don't know what the Demonic Mushroom Master's purpose is, but he must be targeting Young Master Sekong."

"Fortunately, I was able to stop it in time. Now, the magic mushroom master has been driven away by me."

"And the poison in your bodies has been cured by Young Friend Sekong. This is just a false alarm, don't take it to heart."

"It's a pity that the delicious food and wine on the table could not satisfy you all."

Upon hearing this, Wu De couldn't help but look at Wu Liang, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Obviously, he didn't expect that Wu Liang would detoxify him.

Compared with Wu De, Yan Wuxin's focus is completely different.

He thought to himself, what does it mean to be a false alarm?
The magic mushroom master poisoned the wine, clearly intending to kill them!

Even the eighteen bronze men who were protecting Master Sekong were killed by the evil mushroom master, which shows how dangerous the situation was at that time.

And from what Chief Wu said, he only drove away the Magic Mushroom Master but did not kill him.

If that magic mushroom master were to strike back...

Yan Wuxin's expression changed, and he made a quick decision. He stood up, bowed, and said, "Thank you, Chief Wu, for repelling the Magic Mushroom Master and saving our lives."

"Also, thank you, Master Sekong, for helping me detoxify."

"I will always remember your life-saving grace and will repay you in the future."

"My father is still waiting for me at home. I dare not stay for long. I still need to report that I am safe, so I will take my leave first..."

Wu Liang nodded as well, a look of fear on his face when he heard this: "Brother Yan is right. I should go back and report that I'm safe."

"The eighteen bronze figures that the abbot assigned to me have all been killed by that villain."

"This matter is of no small importance and must be reported to the abbot."

"Master Wu, thank you for your hospitality. I will take my leave..."

Chief Wu had no objection and immediately pulled Wu De up and stood up to see him off.

Wu Liang and Yan Wuxin left the Wu family's land. They were two people when they came and they were two people when they left, but their mood was very different from when they came.

As soon as Wu Liang walked out of the Wu family's land, he immediately returned to Chunxiang Tower.

At this critical juncture, he didn't dare go back to Songzi Temple and offend the abbot.

So he picked an unlucky monk at random and ordered him to bring the news of the tragic death of the Eighteen Bronze Men back to the Songzi Temple.

After Wu Liang finished doing all this, he looked towards the Songzi Temple.

His eyes flickered and he muttered to himself.

"Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night..."

That night.

In the Songzi Temple, the sound of Zen is lingering.

The monks read and chanted scriptures by lamplight at night.

However, an extremely hoarse voice came from the abbot's meditation room, breaking the peaceful atmosphere.

"No, it's impossible!"

"How could Doctor Mo die!"

The atmosphere in the Zen room was more depressing than ever before.

Abbot Shanren crushed the Life Card Mushroom with one hand, his eyes filled with bloodshot.

Just at this moment, the monks sent by Wu Liang came running to report the whole story.

Abbot Shanren suppressed his anger and called the person in.

However, when he heard the tragic death of the Eighteen Bronze Men, he could no longer suppress his anger.

Just listen to a "bang"!
The unfortunate monk's head exploded like a watermelon, and blood splattered everywhere.

Abbot Shanren was covered in blood and looked very scary.

"The Magic Mushroom Master suddenly launched a surprise attack and killed the Eighteen Bronze Men?"

"joke!"

Abbot Shanren laughed out loud in anger, his eyes emitting a chilling coldness.

"I can't even tell a lie..."

"There's no need to even think about it. This must have been done by that brat in league with Chief Wu."

"It seems these ants are really tired of living!"
