Legend of the Heavenly Fruit
Eps. 118 — Palace Meeting

As Zhou Yuan trained Jiang Yifei in his residence, the next day the planned grand meeting finally began in the main hall of the palace.

A wide round table was placed in the middle of the room with people sitting around it.

Not only was the meeting attended by high-ranking warriors alone but important people who had great thrones in the Moon Empire were all invited.

The average of them was the Chairman of a Noble Family, sect, or clan. If not all the people present at the meeting table amounted to about 20 people.

Jiang Qisha smiled faintly, he understood that although many important people were currently gathered in his palace but in reality many warriors were not present at the meeting.

For example, Jiang Qisha had invited ten great heroes in the martial world to attend this meeting but the present of the ten heroes was only four people, Xiao Fan, Yue Jian, and the others, Chu Guyu, then last was her.

Those who did not attend this meeting, were represented by someone from his group such as Xi Jinxue who represented the Chairman of the Xi Family.

Jiang Qisha did not have time to think about it so he immediately opened the meeting, he did not mince words but directly to the core of his conversation about the black pill.

"Brother sisters, as you have heard we are here to talk about the black pill. Some of you may already know the spread of the pill, we're here to talk about a solution to this problem..."

Before discussing the solution, Jiang Qisha first relayed the results of the report he had investigated for some time regarding the black pill especially its impact as well as the extent of its spread.

Jiang Qisha said how the black pill could be easily accessed by the current warriors, according to the information he had obtained, other than the White Peacock Organization conducting a dark trade to spread the pill, he said, they also do what is called recruitment.

"Wait a minute, Your Majesty, what do you mean by recruitment?" Chu Guyu cut off Jiang Qisha's explanation.

Chu Guyu's actions were actually arguably disrespectful for cutting off the conversation but the woman seemed to be unconcerned about her actions.

Despite being on the same side, Chu Guyu did not have much respect for Jiang Qisha as Emperor, he was the type of person who would respect someone if that person was indeed worthy of his respect.

Jiang Qisha smiled faintly, he was not surprised by Chu Guyu's attitude, in the martial world it was not strange that the higher one's abilities the more powerful he felt, the more powerful he was, the truth is, but not everyone is like this.

With a faint smile, Jiang Qisha answered him. "Madam Chu, black pills are not only made into a business by the White Peacock Organization, they are also recruiting with those pills because for anyone willing to join his organization, they are also recruiting with them, they'll get the black pill for free..."

Chu Guyu frowned, not expecting the situation to be like this. Not only Chu Guyu but the person there almost reacted similarly.

Jiang Qisha smiled bitterly and then continued by delivering another report on the impact.

Jiang Qisha had to admit that the black pill that the White Peacock Organization created had a high efficacy compared to the usual pills.

The black pill was like a shortcut for most warriors because the benefits of the pill were so high, one did not need to train hard to increase his strength quickly and significantly, so it is not surprising that many warriors are starting to be fooled by being tempted by the pill.

Of course, pills that have high efficacy that have problems in consumption. If used continuously, one of the most fatal side effects is addiction.

Black pills that are consumed repeatedly will cause emotional disturbances, not a few people have lost their human nature due to swallowing the pill.

"I've heard of the ill effects of black pills, but didn't expect it to be this severe..." One of the warriors sitting there shook his head slowly.

"True, then the black pill is more threatening than the problems of criminal organizations." Answer the others while breathing.

Jiang Qisha smiled faintly, he did not refute the statement. Jiang Qisha then said that the black pill had not only spread in the Moon Empire but in other empires as well.

"It's..."

Hearing the words, the guests who attended the meeting immediately breathed a cold breath. Now they finally understood why Jiang Qisha had this grand meeting all of a sudden.

The guests started whispering to each other about the fate of their families. It was only a matter of time that the impact of the black pill would be felt by his family.

"Your sisters, we need to calm down, the reason I invited you here is because I want to discuss the solution to this problem..." Jiang Qisha calmed the guests down.

Xiao Fan and Yue Jian had not spoken much since, he observed the meeting in silence while thinking about the steps to be taken in the future.

After the guests started to calm down, Jiang Qisha started speaking up again. Actually Jiang Qisha wanted to cool down the atmosphere first but the bad news did not stop there.

Although it was difficult to say Jiang Qisha had reported about the White Peacock Organization already joining the alliance formed by the Sky Cloud Temple Organization, in another sense, that organization would be difficult to destroy now.

The guests seemed to put on more anxious faces than ever when they heard the news.

If now the White Peacock Organization had joined the Sky Cloud Temple, then defeating it would be very difficult to do.

The organization of the Sky Cloud Temple was highly respected both opponents and opponents. Their great power could only be dealt with by the imperial government directly.

"Brothers and sisters, I understand how anxious you are about the great problems we face. But if we work together and unite, it's not hard we can beat them back like a hundred years ago..."

The organization of the Sky Cloud Temple was indeed powerful but that did not mean they could not be defeated.

The reason the Sky Cloud Organization did not move freely despite having great power was because of the alliance between the nobility and the sects.

That reason is what makes the organization can lose the war a hundred years ago.

Jiang Qisha then began to explain the solution section to solve the black pill problem.

There are several ways that he conveyed starting from preventing its spread to overcoming the White Peacock Organization directly.

For the prevention of the spread of black pills, Jiang Qisha ordered that every territory, whether city or sect, deepen the guard to be more strict especially regarding trade.

In addition to the checks on the territory barrier, they must also create a team in charge of patrolling every market and traders.

At least this way, the black pill deployment would be suppressed so it would become difficult in its distribution.

Then for the next solution Jiang Qisha wanted to form a special group that focused on searching and destroying the White Peacock Organization.

The group would act secretly, investigate, and move when obtaining direct orders from the imperial government.

"Then I'll join this group..." Xiao Fan raised his hand, volunteering himself.

"Hm, are you sure Fan?" Yue Jian who sat beside him, frowned.

"My decision has been unanimous, after all I am in the clan only serving as the Supreme Elder and have done little for the past few months. Besides my grandson has also gone to the academy so there is no reason for me to be in the clan anyway..."

"Then thank brother Xiao for participating in this matter." Jiang Qisha nodded slowly at Xiao Fan.

Yue Jian sighed, he next raised a hand. "I will also join, like Brother Fan, my situation is not much different."

"Thank you Brother Jian, a happiness comes with you." Jiang Qisha paid his respects.

All the guests in the meeting room were shocked, they did not expect that the two heroes of the Moon Empire would participate in this matter even though most of them had thought otherwise.

Chu Guyu then raised his hand, volunteering. "I'll come along too..."

The guests who witnessed it became in an uproar, a miracle Chu Guyu, the woman who had always been cold-hearted, suddenly volunteered and wanted to participate.

Not long after the three great heroes decided to join the special group formed by Jiang Qisha, the other guests began to raise their hands. They also want to join groups with great warriors because they feel proud to be with him.

Jiang Qisha smiled with satisfaction, he began to order his imperial secretary to record who would join the special group.

After taking down everything, Jiang Qisha wanted to convey to the others yet only he wanted to do so, a loud explosion suddenly sounded, shocking everyone in the room.

Jiang Qisha was surprised, the explosion sounded so strong and close, he hurried out of the meeting room, the other guests acting similarly.

When they came out, they found that the palace gates had been broken into and destroyed, smoke rising up into the sky.

Not only that, suddenly from the puff of smoke appeared people wearing all-black robes who entered into the palace.

Their numbers continued to grow over time, some of them hurling explosive bombs at the palace gardens, setting them on fire.

Jiang Qisha's face turned ugly, his premonition saying that something big was about to happen soon.

Jiang Qisha had no time, he immediately moved towards them and began to launch an attack with his blue fire element.

The other guests were not silent, they did not need an explanation to know that this was all an attack.
