Legend of the Heavenly Fruit
Eps. 219 — Red Moon
"Are you from the Night Shadow Organization?" One of the prisoners asked in fear at Xu Miao.
"Yes, do you mind?" Xu Miao raised her eyebrows behind her mask.
"No, you guys have pinned me of course we don't mind. I didn't know you guys were a good organization, didn't the rumor say that your organization..." The prisoner did not continue his words for fear that Xu Mio and the others would be offended.
Xu Miao sighed, "I don't care what others think of my organization, all I do is do good after it's out of my control including other people's words."
Xu Miao then ordered his members to take them to a nearby town while escorting him to stay safe.
"I guess even if the one who slandered you has been destroyed, your organization is still said to be bad by the views of others?" Zhou Yuan smiled faintly, asking Xu Miao.
"Humans generally always remember something negative, a thousand good things done by someone will be lost if he makes one mistake, that's man..." Xu Miao tried to smile.
Zhou Yuan nodded without the slightest defense on Xu Miao's statement, he then took out the gold coins he had obtained in the Skeletal Mountain's arsenal as well as the weapons.
"I found everything inside the headquarters, it can help your organization to grow again..." Zhou Yuan.
Xu Miao held her breath, she was never not surprised by the young man's gift. "Thank you Brother Yuan, for once again you have helped the Night Shadow Organization."
Zhou Yuan nodded slowly before he turned around and faced the headquarters of the Skull Mountain Organization which had now become an empty headquarters.
Zhou Yuan gathered the inner power in his mouth then used the fire element. "Elemental Fire — Breath Fire!"
The mouths of Xu Miao, Huang Li, Qiyao as well as the others were wide open when they saw Zhou Yuan spitting out flames in his mouth with an enormous amount.
Actually the change of fire type was not a strange thing in the martial world but seeing the flames Zhou Yuan was spouting was almost like a sea of fire, they had never seen it at all.
Zhou Yuan burned the Skull Mountain headquarters with his fire element, other than the fire Zhou Yuan released was enormous he also had a high temperature.
The members of the Night Shadow to the point of not blinking when they saw Zhou Yuan sweep away the Skull Mountain headquarters in just a matter of seconds.
Zhou Yuan then gathered his inner power back and made another kind of change, this time which he spewed out was not fire but water.
"Elemental Water — Blowing Waves Water!"
The flames that had already burned the Skull Mountain headquarters slowly extinguished as Zhou Yuan spewed out a much larger amount of water as it spouted flames.
Xu Miao and his organization members were stunned and had trouble speaking, he still could not believe that a swordsman could do as Zhou Yuan did.
They were sure that now they should have more respect for Zhou Yuan after witnessing his abilities, no one was brave enough to offend a high-ranking swordsman.
***
Zhou Yuan and the others returned to the headquarters of the Night Shadow Organization after destroying the Skull Mountain headquarters.
Zhou Yuan could see the gazes of the Night Shadow members starting to change towards him especially after witnessing Zhou Yuan's strength just now.
They already knew Zhou Yuan was a Light Realm warrior but did not expect Zhou Yuan's strength to be a high-level light realm swordsman.
One night when Zhou Yuan had recovered his inner strength from attacking the Skull Mountain headquarters, he came out of the room but when he opened the door, Zhou Yuan was startled by Huang Li and Qiyao who were already standing right in front of his bedroom door.
Zhou Yuan coughed softly. "Miss Li, Miss Qiyao, is there something?"
Huang Li and Qiyao had had many changes, either the faces of both of them were getting prettier or her strength had increased quite a distance.
"Brother Yuan, can we talk to each other, we want to convey something to you."
Zhou Yuan raised his eyebrows before nodding softly, it seemed like the two girls wanted to convey something important. Zhou Yuan then let them into his room.
"It seems they were surprised by the action I took at the headquarters earlier?" Zhou Yuan became the first to speak among them, making small talk.
"Of course Brother Yuan, let alone them, we were also surprised to see your ability." Huang Li smiled faintly.
Zhou Yuan chuckled softly, unable to refute him. If he was in their position though maybe he would also react the same.
"So what do you want to talk to me about?"
Huang Li and Qiyao looked at each other before Huang Li spoke up. "Brother Yuan, I'll get straight to the point, do you still remember about the black pill?"
Zhou Yuan frowned, he did not expect the twin girls to be alluding about the black pill.
Zhou Yuan certainly knew of the pill as it was a pill that was forbidden to circulate in the martial world, the same pill that was made by the White Peacock Organization.
"I still remember if there was anything with the black pill."
"Brother Yuan, maybe you don't believe it but I hope you hear it to the end..."
Huang Li then passed on the information to Zhou Yuan regarding the black pill, for the past three years the circulation of the pill had expanded to various regions, not just one empire but three other empires.
"They used the black pill as an offer to other organizations in order to join the alliance of the Sky Cloud Temple organization. Now almost 70% of the organizations in the northern mainland have successfully joined their alliance."
The White Peacock Organization although including the large organization their strength was quite lacking as an influential organization, they joined the alliance of the Sky Cloud Temple to gain protection.
Black pills may be dangerous if consumed by the body but they have high efficacy in martial arts and are able to increase one's strength quickly.
The problem is that criminal organizations do not seem to care about the risk, they are more interested in wanting to be strong quickly whatever the way.
With the black pill, without any hard work as long as one were to consume it with a routine their strength could increase.
Zhou Yuan sighed, if Huang Li's words were true then there was a possibility that the strength of the criminal organizations had now been stronger than before.
Zhou Yuan wanted to speak up but before doing so he heard there was a commotion outside, Zhou Yuan frowned, the commotion was getting bigger even though it was already midnight.
Zhou Yuan finally exited the room with Huang Li and Qiyao to see what happened. When outside, he found many members of the Night Shadow whispering to each other while pointing up at the sky.
Following their attention, Zhou Yuan turned his head up and finally found out what had happened that night.
Zhou Yuan's eyes widened, his breathing was restrained. "No way, how can it be?!"
Zhou Yuan was surprised when he saw the moon hanging in the sky had now turned blood red. Zhou Yuan certainly remembered the phenomenon because he had seen it once in his first life.
The red moon was a sign that soon the Heavenly Fruit would grow in the martial world, precisely in the Moon Empire.
