A new message from the Workshop Master immediately filled Yang An with a sense of unease.
'What should I do?'
'It's finally come to this.'
The Workshop Master's true purpose for founding the Scripture Defector Association was unknown. But, without exception, all its members had the constitution of an Innate Flesh Mushroom. For someone with that constitution, breaking through the limits of death to advance to the Corpse Transformation stage was an unavoidable path.
'But I can't possibly confess that I'm not an Innate Flesh Mushroom. That would expose my greatest secret. It's absolutely out of the question!'
'What if I say I've already broken through to the Corpse Transformation stage, but I don't know how I did it safely? I could shift the blame to the Golden Thread Pavilion, to my new master, Elder Zhuan Yu?'
'That probably won't work either!'
