Chapter 1577 - 637: The Mysterious Spirit Fruit

Chapter 1577: Chapter 637: The Mysterious Spirit Fruit

This question, Ye Lingyue just realized that Ye Liuyun’s injury was indeed caused by Yue Mei and Chen Mu.

After parting with Ye Lingyue at the Ancient Pass, Ye Liuyun went to Wood City because her cultivation of the Power of Reincarnation was similar to Yue Mei’s.

There, she successfully broke through to the Fifth Level of Reincarnation, surprisingly becoming equal in strength to Yue Mei.

Yue Mei saw this and kept quiet outwardly, but secretly she always wanted to eliminate Ye Liuyun.

After passing the Wood City examination and becoming official Demon Hunters.

Yue Mei took the initiative to propose forming a team with Ye Liuyun, Chen Mu, and several other Demon Hunters from small sects they knew.

Ye Liuyun suspected nothing, and shortly after forming the team, they began taking on missions.

In the beginning, Yue Mei and Chen Mu showed no unusual behavior.

Their team even participated in the Jiu Provinces Hunting.

But due to their strength, they were determined to be an Eight-Tier Team.

In the following months, the Jiu Provinces Hunting began.

Ye Liuyun and the team’s accumulated merit gradually upgraded them to a Sixth-Tier Team.

However, during a mission, Ye Liuyun discovered a strange Spirit Fruit in some ruins.

She brought the Spirit Fruit back because the whole team didn’t know what kind of fruit it was, so they decided to go to the nearby Senluo Wanxiang City, as they heard the Exotic Treasures Pavilion there could identify Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

They set off together and arrived in Senluo Wanxiang City.

Chen Mu took the initiative to suggest going to the Exotic Treasures Pavilion.

But on the same night Chen Mu returned from the Exotic Treasures Pavilion, Ye Liuyun’s food was poisoned.

"By the time I realized it, my whole body had lost strength. I tried to call for other teammates, but Chen Mu and Yue Mei broke in at that moment. Yue Mei used the Han Yue Sword Technique to sever the meridians all over my body and pierced my Dantian. They initially wanted to kill me to silence me, but luckily someone came looking for me at that time. They moved me out of the city overnight and threw me into the area frequented by Snake People. There, I was captured by the Snake People and became a prisoner of war." Ye Liuyun recalled the past, her face clouded with gloom.

Indignation aside, there’s a hint of luck.

If Yue Mei and Chen Mu had directly acted as assassins, she might never have got the chance to see Ye Lingyue again.

"Such a ruthless and merciless couple, but cousin, I don’t understand one thing. Since Yue Mei and Chen Mu had long intended to set you up, why didn’t they act earlier?"

Ye Lingyue gritted her teeth upon hearing this.

Indeed, back in Xuanwu City, Ye Liuyun may have been present, but because there were so many people, Ye Lingyue didn’t pay attention to Ye Liuyun and the others.

"Yue Mei and Chen Mu are insidious people. Early on in the representative team, I ranked third in strength and was part of the Ye Family with some skills in Artifact Refining, so they needed me and naturally wouldn’t harm me. However, I suspect the reason they ultimately harmed me was likely related to the Spirit Fruit I discovered."

After Ye Liuyun was severely injured, she was captured by the Demon Clan and went through a period more agonizing than death.

Luckily, she was tenacious by nature and escaped the calamity of being humiliated due to her injuries.

She endured for over a month until Captain Li led a raid that wiped out the Snake People Tribe, and Ye Liuyun was finally rescued.

Unexpectedly, even as a fellow Demon Hunter, Captain Li, after hearing about Ye Liuyun’s experience, not only showed no sympathy but instead sold off all the prisoners.

Captain Li also told Ye Liuyun that she should abandon thoughts of revenge.

He heard that the team where Yue Mei and Chen Mu belonged had achieved great merit and had already been promoted to a Third-tier Representative Team, leaving Senluo Wanxiang City and heading to the core region for missions.

With Ye Liuyun’s status as a prisoner, there’s probably no hope of seeking revenge against them in this lifetime.

Captain Li’s words further confirmed Ye Liuyun’s belief that the Spirit Fruit must be extraordinary; otherwise, how could Yue Mei and Chen Mu’s team upgrade to a Third-tier Team in such a short time?

But even if Ye Liuyun knew, what could she do?

She had become a prisoner, soon to be sold, and even if she found the City Lord’s Mansion, no one would believe a prisoner’s words.

Ye Liuyun had also heard about the tragic fate of prisoners; some female warriors with good looks would become playthings, dying miserably.

She had even prepared for the worst; if she really fell into the hands of bandits, she would rather commit suicide than live on in humiliation.

If fate hadn’t dealt her a lucky hand, meeting Ye Lingyue, she might already be out of luck.

"Cousin, do you still remember what that Spirit Fruit looked like?"

Ye Lingyue asked Ye Liuyun to try and recall, and Ye Liuyun sketched the rough appearance of the Spirit Fruit.

Ye Lingyue looked at it and did not recognize what the Spirit Fruit was.

She planned to take it back first for Qiu Tian to see. If Qiu Tian didn’t recognize it, she would go to the Exotic Treasures Pavilion again tomorrow, considering Chen Mu and Yue Mei had approached the Exotic Treasures Pavilion earlier.

After using Cauldron Breath to help Ye Liuyun with her injuries, Ye Liuyun finally slept peacefully.

Ye Lingyue kept vigil for a while longer before leaving.

Returning to her room, Little Zhiyo and Little Wuya were already waiting there.

During the day, Ye Lingyue hadn’t seen Little Zhiyo and Little Wuya.

Upon asking, she found out that the two little ones had gone demon hunting outside the city.

Ever since becoming a Ghost Beast, Little Zhiyo could only consume Devil Soul and Vermilion Fruit.

In the past, when Hong Meng Heavenly Spiritual Energy was abundant, Vermilion Fruit could fill him up, but now that the Hong Meng Heavenly Spiritual Energy is insufficient, Little Zhiyo is picky and unwilling to eat the souls of low or middle-stage demon beasts.

After arriving in Senluo Wanxiang City, there are often powerful demon beasts around.

Little Zhiyo simply dragged Little Wuya along, and together they specifically targeted solitary demon beasts, increasing their strength while having a feast.

Ye Lingyue supported their self-sufficiency but reminded them to be careful and not act recklessly, with no further admonitions.

She was just about to call out Qiu Tian and ask about the image when.

Little Zhiyo, sharp-eyed, first noticed the drawing in Ye Lingyue’s hand and came over.

"Boss, how come you have a sketch of the Senluo Ghost Fruit?"

"Little Zhiyo, you recognize this Spirit Fruit?"

"Of course I know it, this thing caused me a lot of trouble. The monster in the Qiulin Ruins told me this thing is called the Senluo Ghost Fruit."

Upon seeing the fruit in the drawing, Little Zhiyo felt his tongue go numb with a bitter expression.

Ever since being forced by Emperor Gui Tie to eat this fruit, his tongue had mutated, and from then on, he was deprived of all delicacies. Whenever he thought of this, Little Zhiyo’s gut churned with regret.

So even if the fruit turned to ash, he would recognize it.
