Legend of the Heavenly Fruit
Eps. 247 — Ghost Sword
Zhou Yuan adjusted his hunting breath, his calm almost faltering when he realized a Heavenly Fruit had appeared in the martial world.
Bad memories in his first life began to reappear as they did yesterday.
"It can't be allowed, I have to take the fruit before the other party gets it..." Zhou Yuan clenched his hands hard, there was no other way than he had to obtain the heavenly fruit faster than his plan.
Zhou Yuan then asked the innkeeper more about this Heavenly Fruit but the information he had released was not too much.
"Thank you, this information helped me a lot..." Zhou Yuan gave the worker another gold coin before going out of the inn.
Zhou Yuan let Yifei be in his room because he thought the girl would need some rest and replenish her inner strength, Zhou Yuan then headed towards the city center to look for more specific Heavenly Fruit information.
In the center of Hanma City, the atmosphere of the city was much more crowded, Zhou Yuan could see that almost eighty percent of the people he met were warriors.
"It turns out there are also clans and noble families who come here..." Zhou Yuan sighed while shaking his head slowly when he saw the entourage of several clans he knew.
The existence of the rumors of the Heavenly Fruit in Hanma City is enough to make anyone interested in coming to it, the Heavenly Fruit said in history as an incomparable resource will attract the attention of warriors in various circles.
The more Zhou Yuan entered the downtown area the more warriors he met, fortunately Zhou Yuan found no signs of the swordsman from the criminal organization.
On his way Zhou Yuan found a large restaurant that seemed to be visited by many people, in order to find more information the restaurant was the right choice. Zhou Yuan then decided to go to the restaurant.
The restaurant that has the name Snow Flower Pigeon is a two-story restaurant but has a wide enough area.
Zhou Yuan went inside and found that the restaurant was already filled with many customers, the servants seemed troubled by the number of guests who came more than usual.
Zhou Yuan was sitting at one of the two-story tables that happened to be his customers just about to come out. Zhou Yuan wanted to call the maids but saw that they were in trouble Zhou Yuan put his intention back on and chose to wait for the servant to come to his table.
"Where is the heavenly Fruit, do you not say it is in this city. Are you tricking me?!"
A swordsman sitting on the first floor seemed to be chatting with his comrades, their chatter was actually quite slow but because Zhou Yuan had a keen sense of hearing he could hear their chatter clearly.
"The fruit is here, just wait until the next information comes. You are impatient!" The friend of the swordsman replied followed by an upset.
"We've been waiting since yesterday, but no signs of a Heavenly Fruit will appear. If tomorrow the fruit doesn't exist I'd better get out of here!"
The friend with him snorted, "Please let you go but don't blame me when that Heavenly Fruit appears and I get it. Wait for your family to provide other information."
Zhou Yuan heard their chatter and was a little surprised when the Heavenly Fruit turned out to already belong to one of the parties. Zhou Yuan recalled that the Mu Family in question was the Noble Family that led Hanma City.
The Mu family is not very well known by the martial world because the point of their ability is not located in martial arts but trade and business.
"Did the Mu Family not read history, what they expected by doing business with the Heavenly Fruit..." Zhou Yuan shook his head slowly, the Mu Family's decision was obviously a foolish one.
Instead of being lucky, the growth of a Heavenly Fruit somewhere was precisely considered Zhou Yuan to be a calamity and disaster.
Zhou Yuan still remembered how a city, a clan, a sect, was destroyed because that Heavenly Fruit had appeared in their place. Announcing a Heavenly Fruit to the martial world like the Mu Family did was tantamount to destroying Hanma City and the Mu Family itself.
As Zhou Yuan was still thinking, a waiter came to his desk and offered the menu at the restaurant.
Zhou Yuan then ordered some food and then some of it he asked to be wrapped so that it would be distributed to Yifei. The servant recorded everything before then parted and left Zhou Yuan's desk.
While waiting for the order to come Zhou Yuan was intending to look for more information but his attention was suddenly fixed on someone who had just entered the restaurant.
The person looked striking with his mask-wearing appearance, adding a mysterious impression to him. In one look people will realize that the masked man is a man.
Zhou Yuan frowned, the concern for the mysterious man was that he was a high-level swordsman.
Before Zhou Yuan judged the mysterious man any further suddenly the masked man released a dense murderous aura on his body.
A murderous aura quickly seeped into the surroundings of the restaurant room, making everyone around him have difficulty breathing while those who were mentally weak almost lost consciousness.
All the attention of the people in the restaurant instantly turned towards the mysterious man as it realized he was the one who released the murderous aura .
The people in the restaurant began to fear and a feeling of being threatened enveloped their hearts. There was no need for an explanation to know that a person who possessed that murderous aura was an extremely dangerous criminal.
The swordsmen chatting earlier also trembled to see the mysterious man, their mouths wanting to say something but their lips having trouble speaking.
"Ha-ghost Sword, you, how can it be here-!" One of the warriors stammered while pointing at the man, he clearly recognized the mysterious man over the others.
"Oh, it turns out that there are also those who immediately know me-!" The mysterious man smiled cynically.
The mysterious man was referred to as the Ghost Sword, he was not from any organization but was very famous because the Ghost Sword was a high-level criminal who had done a lot of mischief in the martial world.
Ghost Sword was at the top level as a criminal to be eliminated in the Hero Guild. The mission assigned to kill the Ghost Sword was at the S level mission.
The Ghost Sword smiled sinisterly looking at everyone in the restaurant so frightened looking at it, according to his conjecture and estimation, the Ghost Sword's smile did not last long before his gaze fell towards Zhou Yuan who was staring at him coldly on the second floor.
Ghost Sword could feel Zhou Yuan unaffected by his murderous aura even though the same aura managed to make some of the nearby warriors feel helpless.
