22 Evidence cleanup (1/2)

Bai Yun was speeding back to the weed valley entrance. He felt like cursing. The entire operation had taken place a few hours ago, and he had also finished the interrogation of the two spies. It was due to the information that he got from them that Bai Yun was running back to the weed valley entrance.

It was not by chance that Bai Yun had come to the weed valley at this point of time. There was a rumor going about that someone had seen a supreme weed fruit in the weed valley.

A supreme weed fruit was a mutation of the weeds that produced a special fruit. It was formed when a powerful mutated weed was not found for an extremely long time and slowly, all the fruits that it created would pile up near it and would all decay and would give birth to a supreme weed. The supreme weed fruit was extremely powerful. Powerful enough that even people in the late qi condensation stage would be interested in it. But the most impressive thing about the supreme weed fruit was that it was applicable to any cultivation system. Its powers was the purest form of energy, generated by mixing the powers if all the mutated fruits, and that also meant that he could use it to simulate any fruit in the valley.

The power of the supreme weed fruit was such that not only would it allow him to reach the third stage of qi condensation and condense the third mysterious pattern, he could also use its energy to use it as a substitute for the soul healing fruit.

Every kind of fruit was available in the weed valley. If the demonic beast fruit was the most populous fruit then the healing fruits would be about the least. The soul fruits were even less, he had only found a single one after going through the entire storage ring of all the morons as well as his own findings. If you ignore the fruits that were used by people following archaic or race specific cultivation systems, then the smallest number of fruits would undoubtedly be soul healing fruits. He even found a nether fruit, but had yet to find a soul healing fruit. And for Bai Yun, the soul healing fruit was the most important one. It was extremely difficult to heal a damaged soul without any external resources. Thus the supreme weed fruit was like a pile of coal in the winter for him.

Of course the rarest of them all was the supreme weed fruit. According to the records that he got the last time a supreme weed fruit was seen was over a hundred years ago. Of course anyone who got a supreme weed fruit would not publicize it. But even then Bai Yun guessed that the maximum frequency of the supreme weed fruit appearing was once in a decade.

Bai Yun only came to know about all of this when he interrogated the two morons. He had only done so in order to find out who had planned against him, and to figure out if they had informed anyone of the moron group running into him. After he found out their names and positions, they were princes as he expected, and knowing that the two of them did not have a chance to send any messages to them,Bai Yun asked them to spill out what they knew simply in order to increase his general awareness. He did not expect to come across such an important information.

For the last week or so there had been a rumor going around that there was a supreme weed fruit in the weed valley. Apparently someone had run across the fruit while searching in the weed valley, but the fruit was not ripe. The supreme valley fruit would only ripen on the day of a full moon, and the next full moon was in four days. Bai Yun decided to stay around and look for the supreme valley fruit until the full moon, and then leave if he could not find it.

It was due to this rumor that Bai Shan and the rest had decided to come to the weed valley after hearing about the supreme valley fruit. He had heard about it right after leaving seclusion, and called it fate. Thinking that he could find it easily he had come here without any backup. Also the number of people in the weed valley had grown over the past few days as the news spread, but Bai Yun had not run into any of them, as Bai Shan had kept them all away from his campsite. Also Bai Yun often made a move in the night, where all of them would be staying still and not moving around. In fact if it wasn't due to necessity as well as the Assassin God's legacy, even Bai Yun would not be moving around in the night.

Bai Yun was running to the weed valley entrance in order to cover up the body of the person he had killed. If the body was discovered, then considering the status of the group, there would definitely be an investigation. If that happened, the entire weed valley would be turned over and then the corpses of Bai Shan's party would be found inside. Bai Yun's plan was to run away to some other place in the middle of the night before this happened, so that no suspicion would fall on him.

But the situation had changed now. He could not let anyone disturb the weed valley. Thus he had to make it seem as if it was a mystery, and the group might still be alive. That way the investigation would be delayed and he would have the time to find the supreme weed fruit.

When he reached the valley entrance he was happy to find out that no one had disturbed the moron. But some people had reached the valley entrance, and not wanting to enter the weed valley in the night, had set up camp outside.
