Legend of the Heavenly Fruit
Eps. 43 — Behind the Shadow
"Grandfather, is there anything to say?" Zhou Yuan scratched his head, he had to distract his grandfather from his new strength.
Zhou Yuan's question immediately made Zhou Bing aware, he remembered that his business was here because he wanted to say something to his grandson.
"Yuan'er, tonight we're going to the wedding, the mayor invites us to go there."
Zhou Yuan frowned after hearing this, he did not think his Grandfather went to the Mayor's residence earlier, this indicated that the status of the Zhou Nobles Family was quite high in Hana city.
Unable to resist, Zhou Yuan asked for preparation in advance, cleaned himself up and put on decent clothes. Afterward Zhou Yuan went with his grandfather to the Mayor's residence.
According to Zhou Bing, the mayor's son's wedding will be lively, in addition there is a large fireworks show, their food dishes are also delicious and diverse.
Hana City was a big city, their culinary could not be doubted. Zhou Yuan thought it would not hurt for him to relax for a while let alone that he had made a breakthrough just now.
***
One of the empty buildings in Hana City, there was a group of merchants who stopped right in the building.
The people who passed by in the empty building were a little surprised by the merchant company, because they think the building is so creepy and haunted that not many people want to stay there for long or even pass through it.
Not many know that the empty building is now being met by the merchant entourage, at least it seems so until they show their true identity.
"How, have you done it?"
"Third Chief, everything is in order. We're just waiting for the guests to drink the poison we gave."
In the empty building the merchants began to march neatly, their number was almost three hundred people and were now kneeling before someone who was sitting on a chair.
The person seated was the Third Elder, he was also the leader of that merchant entourage, his strength was quite high and had mysterious abilities.
The Third Elder was a man who had a thin body, behind his robe there was a chain wrapped around his body. His strength was at the Intermediate Crystal Realm.
"Good," the Third Elder nodded in satisfaction. "then you should get ready, after the poison has reacted we will start carrying out its mission."
"Every Elder!" Reply to the merchant group in unison.
After saying so, the group of merchants began to take off their clothes changed with uniforms. They were not ordinary merchants but warriors in disguise.
The uniforms they wear are bright blue, having a thick fabric like the clothes used in winter. Not only that, they also wear masks.
"Tonight we did as the Supreme Chief ordered, take control of the Hana City government without anyone knowing it. If anyone realizes, you can kill him." Said the elder in a cold tone.
The masked troops nodded, they seemed enthusiastic in such a way even though realizing on the current side killing was not the solution to complete the mission.
The warrior army understood what their Elders were talking about, the Eternal Snow Organization had now risen again and began to plan to take control of the martial world slowly.
The strength of the Eternal Snow Organization with a hundred years ago was much different, in addition to the number of members they now had very much, the organization had also cooperated with other much larger organizations.
For their organization, it was not difficult to attack Hana City yet it was not an order from their current superiors. The Eternal Snow Organization had to take control of Hana City behind the scenes without anyone noticing.
The city of Hana is very important to be controlled by the organization, especially their economic path. If they succeed in carrying out their mission, the trade routes that the organization creates can be done easily without obstacles.
Not many know that currently hundreds of organizations in the martial world are building alliances secretly.
The reason they were still shut out from the outside world was because it had not sufficiently overthrown the government and the sects, at least not until the next few years if all was to their plan.
The Eternal Snow Organization was one part of the alliance, their organization was given the task of secretly controlling the area of the city.
Now, there were already four cities that the Eternal Snow Organization had taken control of in the Moon Empire. They entered a city disguised as a merchant entourage before attacking his government.
In the present case, the organization would attack the government of Hana City, in contrast to attacking a small town, a big city like Hana City had a great risk in its mission.
When they hear there is a wedding at the mayor's residence, the Eternal Snow organization assumes that it is an opportunity, they plan to poison the marriage before attacking the Mayor and taking control of his government.
Seeing that the members had finished preparing, the Third Elder had intended to get them into action but he had not spoken yet, there was a member who suddenly came and delivered a report that he had just met.
The report was about the guests the mayor invited, no problem from that until the rapporteur said there were high-level officers there.
"Zwu? The noble family who leads the most beautiful city is not, why can mayor Hana invite him here?" The Third Elder stroked his chin.
The Zhou Family was probably a middle-class noble whose popularity could not be juxtaposed with the Great Nobles Family but the Riva City he led was widely known in the Moon Empire as the most beautiful city of all time.
"That's not all the Elders, who the Mayor invited were the direct Chairman of their families. His strength is quite high..." Clearly the reporter is further.
The forehead of the Third Elder was now shrinking, clearly not expecting the situation to be beyond his expectations . Although he realized the difficulty of conquering a big city was more risky but did not expect there to be a warrior of his level who he had to fight.
"No need to worry, this time I and the fourth Elder will intervene against the noble leader." The Third Elder could not retreat much less change the plan, his only way was to fight him.
"Eh? Why should I come?"
Someone's voice rang out in the shadows after the Third Elder mentioned the Fourth Elder, he stepped up until the moonlight shone on his body, a female figure.
The Fourth Elder was a woman, wearing a thin veil behind her young and sweet face. His strength was not much different from that of the Third Elder who was both in the Crystal Realm.
At a glance those who had just seen him would regard the Fourth Elder like a good beautiful girl but to one who had known him for a long time. The girl was no different from a human-skinned demon.
