Legend of the Heavenly Fruit
Eps. 48 — Situation of the Mayor
"That's the guy!" One of the immortal snow organizations finally discovered Zhou Yuan's existence.
Zhou Yuan clucked in annoyance, he wanted to kill even more but failed because someone had already seen him. On the other hand with his throwing knife weapon, Zhou Yuan had killed a quarter of their number.
Three hundred members of the Eternal Snow organization had indeed gathered in the area of the building, a small part of them had entered while most were outside due to being on guard.
Their gathering at one point indicates that eternal snow has taken control of the residence of the mayor of Hana in a fairly short time.
About a hundred more immortal Snow members immediately moved to attack Zhou Yuan, so angry at the young man for killing his comrades, they did not use his poisonous needles because they thought killing Zhou Yuan would directly relieve the sufferer.
They wanted to torture Zhou Yuan first to the point of wishing that the youngster wanted death.
On the other hand Zhou Yuan clenched his teeth, if he were now carrying a sword, he would not mind if he had to fight them all. There was no other way, Zhou Yuan took a deep breath before dashing towards the immortal snow member. Zhou Yuan faced them with his bare-handed science.

Since the mayor's invitation to enter the building, Zhou Bing had tried to leave from the 4th floor but on the other hand he felt bad when the mayor greeted him kindly.
The mayor talked a lot with Zhou Bing, it was clear the middle-aged bloke wanted to have a good relationship with him.
Zhou Bing as the head of a noble family and a high-level swordsman is very rare in the martial world, the mayor who had the chance to meet him today did not waste the opportunity and wanted to have a good relationship with the leader of the Zhou Family.
The mayor greeted him with some delicious dishes, he also introduced to his family and son-in-law who a few moments ago just married.
On the 4th floor of the building, there were only important guests present there, some were members of the wedding family involved while the rest were distinguished guests or even warriors.
The mayor did invite certain warriors who were in the city of Hana besides Zhou Bing, even so Zhou Bing was the most powerful swordsman there and the only swordsman who was at the level of the Crystal Realm.
On the floor there were also some personal guards of the mayor who always stood by his side at all times. The mayor has hired a golden swordsman to protect him and his family.
Since the mayor of Hana was not from the nobility so he had to have the strength to protect himself, therefore hiring a swordsman was a wise choice.
"Mayor's sorry but I have to go, my grandson has been waiting outside and I can't make him wait any longer..." Zhou Bing finally got up from his chair while saluting him, he intended to leave from there.
"Seeb Zhou, the fireworks will soon be lit, how about you leave after the fireworks show is over. On the fourth floor they'll be more obvious." The mayor tried to hold back a little bit as possible.
Zhou Bing sighed softly but finally nodded, he had to admit that mayor Hana was indeed good at talking.
The mayor smiled widely and gave instructions to one of his servants to light fireworks.
Not long after the fireworks were turned on, the night sky became bright and lively by the eruption of fireworks that exploded in the air.
As the fireworks were still exploding overhead, the guests who were on the 4th floor suddenly started falling to the floor for an incomprehensible reason, surprising Zhou Bing, who was not there, The mayor as well as his son and son-in-law who happened to not drink the poison in the tea.
The mayor's personal bodyguards who were not allowed to eat the dishes during the wedding also did not fall asleep.
Watching all the invited guests fall down just like that frightened the mayor while Zhou Bing and his personal bodyguards turned wary.
In one look they realize nothing is right, falling asleep together at the same time is not a common phenomenon seen in the outside world.
Before they all digested the situation any further, from the direction of the stairs a bodyguard suddenly came in with intermittent breathing.
"Master, drugging... There's an intruder who's attacking, he's on the third floor right now and is heading for misfortune..."
The rider had not yet finished reporting what he saw when suddenly a needle shot into his neck which immediately made him fall and unconscious.
Zhou Bing had already pulled out the sword from its scabbard as well as the mayor's personal bodyguard.
Zhou Bing always carried his sword with him wherever he went, he could not just leave his weapon like Zhou Yuan because it was a top-class heirloom, people would fight each other to have it if it was far from him.
Not long ago the bodyguard was uprooted, from under the stairs appeared three warriors who were at the peak of the golden realm, five other warriors then appeared behind the windows so that there were now 8 golden natural peak warriors on the 4th floor now.
Zhou Bing took a step further and unleashed his aura of power on his opponent for them to be daunted. Zhou Bing also told the mayor's bodyguards to focus on protecting the mayor while he would take care of the 8 masked warriors.
One of the eight immortal snow members raised his eyebrows upon seeing Zhou Bing step confidently at him, especially the aura emanating from the old geezer's body felt so threatening to him.
"Wire-wearing! Is he really here?!" One of them was aware of Zhou Bing's identity, his face tense and full of anxiety.
"Are you scared? He's our own eight, he can't possibly beat us..." Unlike his friends, others are enthusiastic.
"We do not take risks, the crystal warriors are not the same level as the golden realm. We better wait for the Third and Fourth Elders to come." The worried warrior reminded.
"You're such a coward, I'm a little surprised how you've reached your present level..." The other friend replied in a mocking tone.
As the eight golden realm warriors were conversing, Zhou Bing watched them more closely especially his uniform and mask. Zhou Bing felt like he had seen the thick uniform they were wearing but could not remember it clearly.
"Who are you, daring to attack a government like this, do you want the entire Moon Empire to fight!" One of the mayor's personal guards asked in a stern tone.
Hearing that statement made some of them laugh. "Do you think we were afraid of such threats, before attacking here we knew the risks. Moon Empire? after his turn we will also attack the empire as well..."
Hearing that increasingly visible frown on Zhou Bing's forehead, there had never been anyone who dared to say so. Seeing his words filled with confidence shows his words are not mere nonsense.
