Chapter 39: Xiantian Zhu Fruit
Chapter 39: Xiantian Zhu Fruit
Ten breaths later, all the men in red were lying on the ground with bruised faces and noses, and the people around them were shocked.
Only the young sect leader was left standing there awkwardly. Fortunately, he did not take action, otherwise his fate would probably not be good either.
Protector Jiang simply gave them a lesson. After all, it was broad daylight and there were people coming and going at the dock. Killing people here would affect his mood.
Yes! It’s not that he is kind-hearted, he just doesn’t want to affect his mood.
The people queuing around to watch the show were enjoying the show. After all, the heroes in the martial arts world who stood up for justice and punished evil and promoted good were the most talked-about topics these days.
It was just unclear whether they would still think so if they found out that the hero in their hearts was actually a killer leader. But at the moment, they were all excited in their hearts, but they didn't dare to show it on their faces, for fear of being punished later.
Lin Shan stood up at this time, curious baby possessed again, and asked the young master of Yudao Sect: "Why are you in such a hurry to go to Dongting?"
The young sect leader "Ren Wo Kuang" shrank his head. Seeing that he was in the same group as the black-clothed master who was blocking the road, he naturally did not dare to offend him.
When you live under someone's roof, you have to bow your head, and this is no secret.
"I heard that the Xiantian Zhu Fruit appeared in the waters of the 800-li Dongting Lake! I am leading a team there on my father's orders. This is the third group of people in our sect. My father and the elders of the sect are already on the way ahead."
Ren Wokuang hinted that my father and the large army were waiting for me up ahead, and that we should leave some room for each other so that we could meet again in the future!
But Lin Shan and Protector Jiang obviously didn't get his point. Lin Shan was fine, but when he first heard the term "Innate Red Fruit", he felt that this thing seemed unusual and attracted so many sects to fight for it.
At this moment, Jiang Hufa rushed forward and grabbed Ren Wokuang with an excited look on his face: "What did you say? Xiantian Zhu Fruit?"
Even though I was a little nervous, I didn't dare to say "Senior, you hurt me". I just replied with sweat on my forehead:
"That's right, ten days ago, Sanshouwu, a big gang in Jiangling, personally released the news that the Xiantian Zhu fruit in Dongting Lake is about to mature."
"Wait!" Lin Shan couldn't help but interrupt, "What is the Xiantian Zhu Fruit?"
As soon as these words came out, not only did Ren madly look at him in a daze, but Protector Jiang also looked at him in disbelief.
"???"
Lin Shan didn’t know what went wrong. Is this thing very famous?
It was Protector Jiang who gave him face, suppressed his excitement, and said with a complicated expression: "There is a rumor in the martial arts world that there is a kind of fruit that can make an ordinary person directly become a congenital master if eaten!"
"It seems like I heard about it from a storyteller when I was a kid." Lin Shan thought about it and did have this impression. Then he immediately reacted: "Don't tell me this rumor is true? It's about this Xiantian Zhu Fruit?"
"That's right! It's this kind of magical innate spiritual object." Protector Jiang looked excited, but when he saw Lin Shan's face full of disbelief, he immediately explained.
"Don't disbelieve it! The world is so big that nothing is impossible. I didn't believe it when I first entered the martial arts world, but didn't I tell you the story of the Grand Elder of the Nightingale Headquarters?"
Lin Shan naturally remembered it and nodded in response: "A peerless genius who entered the Xiantian realm at the age of twenty."
"That's right!" Protector Jiang felt a faint fanaticism.
"But do you know why he was able to enter the Xiantian realm at such a young age? It was because he accidentally entered the mountains and took a Xiantian Zhu fruit."
"what?"
Lin Shan was shocked. There really was such a magical object.
But on second thought, isn't it true that once a cultivator enters the Qi training stage, he also possesses the magical powers of an innate strongman? There are cultivators in this world, and the upper limit of their combat power is still unknown, so it doesn't seem too incredible.
But wasn't Jiang Hufa already innate? Why was he so excited?
At this time, Protector Jiang had already let go of Ren Wokuang. He stood there with a surging heart, muttering: "If I take the Xiantian Zhu Fruit, I can not only instantly improve to the middle stage of Xiantian, but even to the great success of Xiantian!"
"And by then, I will return to the capital and avenge my previous humiliation!" As he spoke, Protector Jiang even laughed out loud.
The aura of the innate strong man was thick and long. When Jiang Hufa laughed, his laughter echoed throughout the riverside dock. The people around secretly covered their ears. Ren Wokuang and his Yu Daomen brothers next to him were all trembling with fear.
Oh my goodness! We actually wanted to attack the innate strongman just now!
Not to mention how scared the people from the Yu Dao Sect were, Protector Jiang was smiling and seemed to foresee the wonderful scene of defeating his old enemy, and the corners of his mouth gradually became ferocious.
"I, Jiang, will definitely get the Xiantian Zhu Fruit. Whoever tries to get it today will die!"
As he said this, a voice beside him spoke in sync with his, with no particular order. "That's right! This spiritual object should be mine!"
"Uh"
Protector Jiang turned his head with difficulty and looked at the owner of the other voice. Lin Shan's gloomy eyes met his.
……
The two looked at each other for a long time, and Jiang Hufa was the first to back down, forcing a smile and saying:
"Since Brother Lin has taken a fancy to her, I won't take her away from him."
But even the Yu Dao Sect member beside him could sense the hidden resentment in his words. Ren Wokuang was even more trembling in his heart. This middle-aged man in black was already a congenital strongman, so why did he seem to be afraid of this young man in white?
At this time, Lin Shan turned around with a smile and shook his hand affectionately.
"Young Master of the Yu Dao Sect, right? Would you mind giving us a ride on the way to Dongting?"
Seeing the person in front of me with a gentle tone, friendly and enthusiastic, but revealing a domineering attitude that would not tolerate rejection, I swallowed hard and laughed dryly:
"Being respectful is worse than obeying orders."
Just like that, amidst the resentment of the people, the two of them didn't bother about whether to cut in line or not, and just acted as they wished in an emergency.
Then he followed the red-clothed man from the Imperial Sword Sect to the front of the pier and found a large boat that could easily accommodate dozens of people.
At the boatman's command, the sailors rushed forward with all their might. After all, waves of people from all walks of life had gone to Dongting Lake in recent days, and they had made a lot of money.
……
On the boat, Ren Wokuang told Lin Shan and the others in detail the ins and outs of the birth of the Xiantian Zhu Fruit.
It turned out that the bandits in Dongting Lake who first discovered the Xiantian Zhu Fruit were known as the Twelve Linked Docks.
Ten years ago, they found a spiritual root on a small island in the 800-li Dongting Lake. It had already grown immature red fruits! According to analysis, it would take about ten years for it to fully mature.
The leader of the Twelve Linked Docks was naturally overjoyed. He blocked the news and secretly managed the island.
But things never go as planned. Just last month when the red fruit was about to mature, a small leader in the village who knew the news revealed the news to his colleague Sanshouwu in Jiangling because he was dissatisfied with the leader's exclusion of him.
In recent years, Sanshouwu has had many conflicts with Shierlianhuanwu in order to expand its water business.
After hearing the news, he knew that he could not win, so he simply made it public and called on all the major factions and prominent families in the nine counties of Jingxiang to come to Dongting.
I don't want the red fruit, but I can provide you with as many ships as you want.
The whole Jingxiang was moved by the news, and the government was shaken!
Therefore, in the past month, waves of troops have been heading to Dongting Lake from time to time, and various battles of varying sizes have continued. Although the Twelve Linked Docks have a large number of people and relied on the Dongting water conservancy to fight desperately, they are still losing ground.
According to the scouts at the front, their leader intends to retreat to that unnamed island and wait for the Xiantian Zhu Fruit to mature.
……
Lin Shan listened thoughtfully, but Protector Jiang frowned slightly. There were dozens of large sects and famous families coming this time, and half of them had innate masters.
If you are not careful, you might really fall into it.
Ren Wokuang and others were in inner torment, fearing that their lives would be in danger if they followed these two evil stars, and prayed in their hearts that they would meet the main force of Yudaomen as soon as possible.
In this way, the ship went down the river and turned into a tributary of Dongting Lake at Huarong Road.
