Adoption brings disaster

Now that I have met the owner and elders of Zhaixing Tower, I naturally have no intention of flattering them anymore.

I didn't waste any time and got straight to the point. "Alright, enough of the nonsense. I think you all know what I'm doing here. Tell me quickly so I can go home early."

I took a sip of tea and fiddled with some food on the table that I didn't know what it was made of.

"Everyone in the world knows that the new leader of the martial arts world, His Highness Qianqiu, is leading the three major sects to attack Zhaixing Tower. Of course we know what you are here for." The elder also took two sips of tea and smiled foolishly.

Xia Qingke had no intention of discussing this with the elders, and directly scolded: "Stop talking about this. What's so good about attacking your dilapidated Zhaixing Tower? Besides, if it weren't for your support, I'm afraid I would have been in Yama Palace the moment I said I would attack Zhaixing Tower. How could I still be here talking nonsense with you?"

The elder and owner of Zhaixing Tower wanted to say something, but I didn't give them a chance to talk nonsense. I stood up, patted the table, and said with a stern face, "You were the ones who sent a message to Zhaixing Tower, saying that there was something I wanted to know. Are you planning to go back on your word now?"

Seeing that I was annoyed, the host chuckled and said, "Zhaixinglou stands in the world by relying on this reputation of keeping one's word. How could we possibly go back on our word? Alliance leader, you can ask anything you want. As long as we know something, we will tell you everything we know."

After hearing the host's promise, I felt a little more at ease and said gently, "What exactly are the Four Sacred Fruits?"

I asked the first question I wanted to know.

"I don't know." The poster said the most annoying words in the most sincere tone.

I was a little angry at this, but I still managed my temper, took a deep breath, and asked again: "What are the uses of the Four Sacred Fruits?"

"I don't know." The poster still smiled sincerely, but the answer was the most useless.

"Where is the last of the Four Sacred Fruits?" I clenched my fists tightly and almost roared, "Don't say you don't know. Do you think I'm a fool? The news of the Four Sacred Fruits came from your Star-Picking Tower. How could you not know?"

"We really know this." The elder pressed the pear on his chest, but said something else that almost made me die of anger on the spot.

I only heard the elder say, "But we can't tell you."

I stood up and slammed the table with all my strength. The old Taoist priest and the other two hurried to steady the table, otherwise the table would have been knocked away by me in an instant.

I didn't care about the table anymore and cursed viciously, "Are you guys kidding me? Believe it or not, I'm really going to kill everyone in Zhaixing Tower today. No one else can get up here anyway. After we get down the mountain, you say the formation is superb. We've been wandering around for a few days without seeing any immortals, so we had no choice but to go down the mountain."

"Don't be angry. We're not kidding you." The host soothed him. "The Way of Heaven waxes and wanes. When times are bad, a treasure must be bestowed upon those destined by Heaven to restore order. This time, the treasure is the Four Sacred Fruits."

I looked at the poster, obviously a little unconvinced, but since I had no evidence, I could only gesture for him to continue.

The poster added, "We have received divine guidance and know the treasure has arrived, but we don't know what it does. We're not kidding you."

Now that I have traveled to this world, I naturally believe what the poster said, and I really can't find any reason to refute it. In addition, the old Taoist priest and the other two kept persuading me, so naturally I was not as angry as before.

As soon as I calmed down a little, I felt very thirsty, so I picked up a fruit and started eating it without wiping or washing it.

After taking a few big mouthfuls, he felt much better in his mouth. He then asked, "Even if you really don't know what the Four Sacred Fruits are or what they are used for, why can't you tell me where the last one is? Don't you say you will tell me everything you know?"

The elder looked at the fruit in my hand with some fear, touched his body in panic, and then said with relief: "Now I can tell you that the last of the Four Sacred Fruits is in your hand."

When I heard this, I quickly looked at the fruit in my hand.

This sight made me burst into swear words, because what I was holding in my hand was the elder’s precious pear.

I felt so sick thinking about him playing with it in his hand and constantly putting it under his nose to smell it. Not only did my stomach start to growl, but my throat also felt very uncomfortable and I kept wanting to vomit.

"I spent a lot of effort to figure out the location of the last of the Four Sacred Fruits, and found it early, but I didn't expect that you would still take it away. You are right, His Highness Qianqiu is truly the man of destiny, and I was stubborn." The elder said with some regret.

My stomach was growling even louder now, and I felt like shit was rushing straight to my ass. I didn't have time to care about what the elders said. I just covered my butt and flew to the shore, shouting to the boy, "Outhouse, outhouse, where is the outhouse?"

The boy seemed to have known that I would have diarrhea. He pointed to a house and handed me a handful of straw paper.

I was so anxious that I didn't even take the toilet paper and rushed into the house the boy pointed out. I almost didn't have time to take off my pants before everything in my stomach gushed out.

I don’t know if it’s because there’s abundant spiritual energy on this mountain, or if I’m really blessed by the gods, or if there’s not as much dirt in my body as before, but the time it took to defecate wasn’t as long as before, and in less than half an hour I walked out of the house feeling refreshed.

I left the house and came to the yard. The five of them had been waiting there and hadn't left. They were all very happy to see me come back.

The host stood up excitedly and asked, "You have eaten four of the Four Sacred Fruits. Have you made any significant progress in your cultivation, or have you gained any great magical powers? The evil demon is about to appear, and the responsibility of destroying it falls to you."

Judging from the poster's expression, I really don't know the functions of the Four Sacred Fruits.

I also tried to feel my body carefully. After a while, I only felt that my body was much lighter than before. As for whether my skills had improved, I couldn't feel it.

Since I couldn't feel it, I'd just try it and I'd know. I didn't waste any time and just pulled out the anaconda and started swinging it around casually.

The poisonous anaconda swells when it encounters air. It is at least 10% longer than before, and it is easier to wield. I think this is the effect of the Four Sacred Fruits.

"Is that it?" The old Taoist priest asked this question first, his eyes full of disgust.

"That shouldn't be the case. Before, the King of Zhenbei was illuminated by the five-colored divine light, and his power increased fivefold. Looking at the appearance of the poisonous anaconda, I'm afraid that the leader's power didn't even increase by half." The Living Buddha also expressed his opinion.

"Or it may have other wonderful uses, but we don't know yet. I've seen records in ancient books that a thousand years ago, a destined person obtained a hidden weapon that ignored true energy and could kill people thousands of miles away. It was truly powerful." The Thief Saint thought for a moment and said.

I didn't have any other feelings, but after hearing what they said, I began to wonder if I was too stupid to discover the true benefits of the Four Sacred Fruits.

I didn't give up and waved the anaconda a few more times, but the results were almost the same. Sometimes I was even worse than usual because I was too nervous.

"Maybe it needs to hit something to show the effect." suggested the original poster.

I thought this made sense, so I didn't think about it and swung the poisonous anaconda towards a stone in the distance. There was a bang, and the stone in front of me broke into several pieces, and then a woman in red jumped out from behind the stone.

"I'm so good at concealing my breath, but you actually saw through it. You are truly a person destined to be killed. How hateful." When the woman saw that we discovered her, she didn't hide anymore, but flew directly into the air and said hatefully.

Seeing the woman suddenly appear, the old Taoist priest and the other two immediately came to protect the three of us.

After hearing what the woman said, the host thought that I had discovered him and asked anxiously, "Are your five senses particularly strong now? Can you see her flaws?"

I was just hitting randomly. My five senses have not been strengthened. I am so scared by such a big scene that I feel dizzy. My five senses are even worse than before.

In this situation, we can only bluff him and say mysteriously, "You finally showed up. We've waited for you for so long, and it's worth it."

The woman was frightened when she heard this. She flew back dozens of meters and asked cautiously, "Do you know who I am?"

I had some guesses in my mind, and pretended to be confident of victory, saying, "Should I call you the head of the Divine Sword Sect, or the devil?"

When the old Taoist priest and others heard me say that word, they became even more nervous.

The woman in red laughed when she heard what I said. "It's just a name, feel free to call me whatever you want. I'm just curious, how did you know that?"

"Actually, I don't know. I was just trying to trick you." I also said very frankly, "It can't be said that I'm trying to trick you. Some of the news I've received in recent years has been too strange, so I paid more attention and found some clues."

"Is the news strange?" the woman in red asked, puzzled.

I chuckled and said, "Some news isn't even known to the three major factions, nor to the Imperial Palace, yet in a small village where no one can even read, there are snippets of information. If it were recorded on a stone carving, it would be fine, but it's actually recorded on a piece of paper on the window. Isn't that strange enough?"

When the red-dressed woman heard this, she immediately understood what I meant. This information was controlled so strictly that even places like the palaces of the three major sects did not know about it. It must be that a very powerful force was trying its best to cover it up.

Ordinary people probably can’t even hear it, let alone record it. How could it be so easy to get it?

The woman asked, "So your attack on Zhaixing Tower was a ruse, a deliberate plan to lure me out?"

"I guess so. I can't say I've set a trap and lured you into it."

I am not afraid now. There are so many experts here, and Zhaixing Tower has made every possible plan. The moment this woman in red appears, she is like a bird in a cage and a fish in a net. She cannot escape today.

Seeing my pride, the red-dressed woman didn't panic. Instead, she smiled and said, "Actually, there's no need to go through so much trouble. If you want to find me, just tell me and I'll come. Didn't they tell you that for thousands of years, I've been the one who killed everyone in the martial arts world and the imperial court, making them feel insecure?"

"Uh." I was speechless for a moment. I turned to look at the poster and the others. From the panic in their eyes, it was obvious that what the woman in red said was true.

I lost my confidence for a moment and could only say weakly: "With so many of us, we should be able to defeat her."

But this is nonsense. If you get it, you have to fight. If you can't beat it, you have to fight.

The leaders of the three major sects took the first step. The Living Buddha's Vajra Indestructible Magical Skill was comparable to the strongest meat shield. He stood in the front, and the woman in red couldn't take him down for a while.

The old Taoist priest is the strongest output, and any sword strike from him is equivalent to my full-strength attack. The thief saint, with his top-notch lightness skills, is simply the best assistant, and can always provide timely rescue when there is danger.

The three of them were the top three in the Beishang Jianghu, yet they were even at a disadvantage against the woman in red. The four of them fought back and forth in a dangerous and ferocious manner, and it was terrifying to watch.

"Hurry up, leader." The elder urged behind me.

Why should I go up? The strong wind from their fight blew me all over the place. I'm afraid the poisonous anaconda can't even get close to the woman in red.

"Hurry up and use your magic to deal with her." I also urged the owner of the building and the elders.

"Who told you we know magic? You're the only one who can beat him now."

I originally thought that now we have tank output and support, and I can wave the poisonous anaconda to act as a control. The owner of the Star-Picking Tower and the elders can cast spells, and they are definitely mages.

Our lineup might be able to kill the woman in red, but her health is too thin, so she might be killed by the area damage of the woman in red before we even start controlling her. The mage has no skills and can only watch. It seems that there is no hope of killing the woman in red.

Sure enough, while I was talking to the host and the elder, the Living Buddha in front was kicked in the chest by the woman in red and flew far away, his life or death unknown.

Without the Living Buddha as a tank, the Old Heavenly Master and the Thief Saint were knocked to the ground in just three or two moves and had no strength to fight.

"Alliance leader, you have eaten the Four Sacred Fruits and are the man of destiny. Now only you can defeat him."

The host was still desperately urging me to hurry up, while the woman in red walked towards us slowly and leisurely. With a wave of her hand, she knocked away Ada and the others who were rushing towards her, just like she was chasing away insects.

I had no choice now and could only bite the bullet and use all my strength to swing the poisonous anaconda. Then the poisonous anaconda was caught by the woman in red. With just a slight pull, the poisonous anaconda and I were pulled over together with it.

I looked at the beautiful face of the woman in red and was so scared that I almost lost my soul. I quickly swung my palm. The woman in red did not dare to be careless and also used all her strength to slap me back.

This palm strike was just like a tickle to the woman in red, but I flew out like a kite with a broken string and hit the elder heavily. The elder spat out a mouthful of blood and breathed more out than in.

Now we don't know whether the leaders of the three major sects here are alive or dead, A Da and his men are completely powerless to fight, and the elders and I are seriously injured.

Now only the host of the post was still standing there with a pale face, while the woman in red didn't even have her skirt dirty. It seemed that she was doomed and there was no way to turn the situation around.

Predict what will happen in the future, and listen to the next decomposition.
