Legend of the Heavenly Fruit
Eps. 271 — Crush Organization Headquarters
Zhou Yuan and Yifei had only flown for half an hour from the Zhou Family residence when suddenly the girl stopped her flight speed abruptly.
Zhou Yuan stopped when he saw Yifei stop, Zhou Yuan questioned the reason for Yifei's actions.
"Yuan Gege, I think I want to go back to the palace?" Yifei said after remaining silent for a moment.
"Back, you mean you want to go home and see your family?"
Yifei nodded softly, after seeing Zhou Yuan's togetherness with his family made the girl long as well with her residence in the palace.
Yifei felt a little uneasy about leaving Zhou Yuan and having to go on a mission by himself.
"If you want to see them, go, you don't have to worry about me..." As if he could read the thoughts of his lover, Zhou Yuan approached and hugged the girl's body.
"But what about you?"
"Don't you see my powers, like my father said only a few people can kill me here."
Zhou Yuan did not brag, with his ability now he was confident that he could compensate Jiang Qisha as the number 1 champion in the martial world might even exceed his ability.
With the Kusanagi Sword in Zhou Yuan's hands had arguably surpassed his strength in his first life, plus he had learned many high-level techniques from the Book of Heavenly Kings making it even harder to defeat.
"Your mother, father, and Grandpa must miss you there too, go and make them happy." Zhou Yuan stroked Yifei's back gently.
Yifei nodded then returned Zhou Yuan's embrace, the two hugged for five minutes before letting go.
"I love you, once my business with the family is over I'll come back and accompany your journey..."
"Thank you, I'm happy with that." Zhou Yuan smiled gently.
Before leaving Zhou Yuan, Yifei briefly kissed Zhou Yuan's lips, blushed the girl's face and hurriedly left with a shy blush.
Zhou Yuan touched his lips that had previously come into contact with Yifei's red lips, he was slightly surprised by the girl's actions which were slightly beyond his expectations.
Zhou Yuan looked at Yifei whose body continued to move away until it finally disappeared. Zhou Yuan shook his head slowly, he did not expect that there would be a time in his life to come into contact with a beautiful woman like Yifei.

Searching for the existence of a Heavenly Fruit was much more difficult than finding a criminal nest, not to mention there was no certainty whether the fruit had grown or not.
In order to save time and not waste it, Zhou Yuan first searched for the headquarters of the Sky Cloud Temple which he had marked its location from Hong Sha.
His journey to where the Sky Cloud Temple headquarters was was quite far away as they built a headquarters in a remote and unusual place.
One of its headquarters was the place Zhou Yuan visited now, the headquarters was built near a mountain slope.
The road to it was very difficult and steep if using the land route, ordinary warriors who had the strength of the Silver Realm could fall if they were not careful, he said, fortunately Zhou Yuan did not need to pass through that slope as he flew through the air.
'I didn't expect anyone to be crazy enough to build a base here, if their headquarters were known to others it wouldn't be easy to get here..." Zhou Yuan shook his head slowly.
By flying in the air Zhou Yuan could easily find the criminal headquarters let alone right at the entrance of the headquarters there were several criminals on guard.
Zhou Yuan took out a kusanagi sword from the s.p.a.ce ring and released it from its scabbard, the black-coloured sword instantly emitting a dark air as it sucked out the power within its user.
Zhou Yuan was not rash when he broke through the headquarters of the Sky Cloud Temple, he did not know if their leaders were there but at least he was ready in his fighting position.
When Zhou Yuan wanted to go down, frowning his forehead, realizing that there was something strange about Kusanagi's sword, it absorbed his inner power more than usual.
"Hm, what happened..."
It was then that Zhou Yuan only realized the sword he was holding now was different compared to when he first saw it in the underground city. The aura that the sword emanated was like it was more dangerous than before.
In addition, when the power capacity in Zhou Yuan increased, the sword also took more and more of his inner power. Zhou Yuan was not sure but he felt that the sword that was enveloped in darkness was getting sharper.
Zhou Yuan did not think about his sword any further because a criminal standing guard below saw his existence in midair.
The guard was surprised to see someone hovering but before reacting Zhou Yuan had already descended and landed quickly in front of him. Kusanagi's sword swung out, finishing off that one guard with ease.
The guards around him were startled not to play but once again Zhou Yuan did not bother and killed all of them except one person.
Zhou Yuan choked the man upwards. "Are your higher-ups here?"
The guard cursed with difficulty in breathing but he tried to answer with a wide grin. "You... Would... Die..."
Zhou Yuan smiled coldly then hardened his grip, breaking the guard's neck and exhaling his last breath.
After finishing off the guards outside, Zhou Yuan entered the base but just a few steps inside, his existence was already realized by the criminals who were there.
Zhou Yuan frowned, it seemed like the headquarters was already lined with a formation that could detect intruders, this made the criminals there arrive and directly attack Zhou Yuan.
Zhou Yuan did not remain silent, as the distance of the criminals was already a few steps away from him he immediately released his dense murderous aura, making them have difficulty breathing as well as their movements interrupted.
Not wasting any time Zhou Yuan immediately slashed his sword towards those criminals, a single slash of one life drifting. In a short time Zhou Yuan had already finished off dozens of them.
His swift sword movements could barely be seen by his opponent when suddenly they had already fallen to the ground. This made other criminals horrified and frightened.
Zhou Yuan had just finished off the life of one of the other criminals when suddenly there was a sound of applause.
All gazes were fixed on the clapping man including Zhou Yuan among them, a white-bearded man slowly stepped closer to Zhou Yuan's fight.
"I thought there was a demon heading here so I didn't come right away but I didn't expect any uninvited guests to come here..."
The old man smiled widely, he did not look frightened to see the many criminal corpses around Zhou Yuan.
The strength of that old man was at the level of the Light Realm with 4 meridians open, which was, he was the Chairman of one of the criminal organizations that joined the Sky Cloud Temple Alliance and happened to be at this headquarters.
"Young man, I happen to be a little lonely guarding this base after all this time, I hope you can comfort me, you can-..."
Before the old man finished his sentence suddenly a sword pierced his heart from behind. Zhou Yuan had already teleported and appeared behind the old man, finishing him off in one fell swoop.
Before the old man used all the abilities that made him famous in the martial world, he had already breathed his last, the old man did not expect himself to be killed this short.
