Legend of the Heavenly Fruit
Eps. 283 — Old Meetings
Xu Miao was the Chairman as well as the leader of the Night Shadow Organization that Zhou Yuan had met in the Star Empire a few months ago.
Because the appearance of the Heavenly Fruit in the Moon Empire made Zhou Yuan have to part with the organization, Zhou Yuan thought he would not meet them again until he returned but it turned out that the Night Shadow Organization had come to him instead.
There were many questions in Zhou Yuan's mind but he currently had to give Han Xiang an explanation regarding Xu Miao and the others so that they would not misunderstand.
After learning that the horde of stealth eagles was not their enemy, Han Xiang immediately ordered his citizens to lower their weapons.
Not long after the eagle began to descend to the ground and land in the middle of the settlement, showing the members of the Night Shadow Organization who were riding the eagles on it.
Each eagle is ridden by at least two to three people, they wear all-black, distinctive uniforms worn by the Night Shadow Organization.
Residents of the settlement seemed unhappy with the existence of human among them until Han Xiang had to intervene to calm their citizens.
After explaining that the eagle army had good relations with Zhou Yuan, then the citizens could accept their existence.
Zhou Yuan who had helped this settlement twice out of danger made it more respected among the Beast Man Race, especially regarding his high abilities.
Zhou Yuan was already considered a hero, at least they respected the young man. Zhou Yuan then asked Han Xiang for a room to talk to Xu Miao, the request was not difficult so Han Xiang gave an empty residence for Zhou Yuan and Xu Miao to speak to.

"It seems like our arrival is too shocking huh, Brother Yuan?" Xu Miao smiled awkwardly.
"Don't they, I'm also very surprised to see you guys coming from the sky." Zhou Yuan smiled faintly.
Zhou Yuan, Xu Miao, as well as the other 8 Elders of the Night Shadow Organization were already in the room.
Xu Miao arranged for only her Elders to talk to Zhou Yuan while the other members secured the eagle demons outside and fed them.
"Before I read a letter from a crow, I'm sure it came from you guys right?"
Xu Miao nodded. "Miss Li did it so you wouldn't be too surprised when we came..."
Zhou Yuan smiled awkwardly, in fact even though he was still shocked by the arrival of their group, he never thought that the organization filled by women could control demons.
"I have a lot of questions about you, how Miss Miao can know where I am here, as well as controlling those demons, it should be very difficult to do and not just anyone can do it." Zhou Yuan turned his head outside, where the members of the Night Shadow were busy taking care of the eagle-like stealth.
"Ah, the explanation is very long but I'll tell you a little more briefly..." The girl scratched her head.
Xu Miao began to explain about how he could discover Zhou Yuan's existence in the settlement of the Beast Man Race.
Xu Miao mentioned the ring she gave to Zhou Yuan while in the Star Empire, it was the ring that allowed her to track Zhou Yuan wherever she went.
Zhou Yuan stared at the ring embedded in his finger, indeed he had once been given a ring by the girl but did not expect to have the ability to track it down.
About controlling the eagle demons, all of them were the actions of the twin brothers, Huang Li and Huang Qiyao.
"When you help us break through to the Crystal Realm, the special powers of Sister Li and Qiyao increase to a higher level. Huang Li could not only befriend animals alone but was now a demon, on the same side Qiyao's power could manipulate one's mind."
Huang Li and Qiyao were the girls that Zhou Yuan met in Shena City, these two twin girls had unique abilities, his older brother Huang Li can talk to animals and befriend them while his younger brother Huang Qiyao can read one's mind.
Zhou Yuan did not expect the abilities of the two girls would increase as their levels of strength increased.
"With Huang Li's abilities the eagle demon was not only our pet but also considered us his best friend, Sister Qiyao manipulated their minds to such an extent."
Zhou Yuan nodded slowly, glancing at Huang Li and Qiyao who were standing not far from Xu Miou.
"So what made Miss Miao go to the Moon Empire and see me?"
"Ah, about that, we decided to follow up and help after you left. I've heard about the history of the Heavenly Fruit in the Moon Empire from Miss Li, It's quite a dark history."
"You shouldn't have to do something like that..."
Zhou Yuan did not expect Xu Miao's intention to come here because she wanted to help him to travel far, let alone the distance between the Moon Empire and the Star Empire was not close, even flying even though it took several months to get here.
"We just want to help you, Brother Yuan, after all the main mission of the Night Shadow Organization is to destroy the criminal organizations and the mastermind of all criminals is the Sky Cloud Temple Organization in the Moon Empire." Xu Miao.
The Sky Cloud Temple not only spread its wings throughout the entire Moon Empire but four empires at once.
They invited all criminal organizations to join, unite, and make the greatest criminal alliance ever in the Northern Mainland Continent.
"Brother Yuan, I understand that you want to do it yourself because you don't want any casualties on your side but even if you are very strong, the power alone still has its limits..."
What Xu Miao said was indeed true, the reason Zhou Yuan had traveled as well as the mission to gather the Heavenly Fruit alone was because he did not want his closest people to be injured.
"I know but if you join me, you're in danger. Collecting Heavenly Fruit is not an easy task." Zhou Yuan shook his head slowly.
"I know that's why we came here to help you..." Xu Miao nodded slowly.
"What is Miss Miao?"
"Brother Yuan do you know where the Celestial Fruit is now?"
Xu Miao's question was spontaneously answered by Zhou Yuan with a headband, this was also what he needed to obtain the heavenly fruit, namely the information of their whereabouts.
"Our organization has good information-gathering capabilities especially with the help of Sister Li, as we head on our way here, Miss Li deployed her crow friends to search about the heavenly fruit and we finally got the information."
Zhou Yuan was startled, he did not expect them to get information so quickly.
"Then where is that Heavenly Fruit now?"
Xu Miao chuckled softly at Zhou Yuan's spirited expression. "In the Xiao clan, Brother Yuan, not only one but that clan has two heavenly fruits at once."
Zhou Yuan was quite reacting to hearing the clan, the Xiao clan was the clan where Xiao Rou was born, there was also Xiao Fan as one of the ten strongest heroes in the Moon Empire.
Zhou Yuan was about to say goodbye and went there now but Xu Miao was not finished with the information.
"Brother Yuan, wait a moment, I haven't finished my words yet!" Xu Miao clasped Zhou Yuan's hand, stopping the young man's footsteps. "We did get information regarding those two heavenly fruits but there is a big problem in the Xiao clan right now."
"Big problem?"
"There will soon be a great war between the government and the criminal organization at the location of the Xiao clan. The Sky Cloud Temple openly declared war to the martial world and challenged every sect or government to fight against them. The Sky Cloud Temple wanted to snatch the Heavenly Fruit from the hands of the Xiao clan through the path of battle."
