Chapter 236: 127 brand new professions, the strongest trio (6K)_2

The suit-clad elder holding a cane trembled slightly.

"No, sir. The Horror Bird Organization plans to ambush the Fierce Bird Sect members on their way back, targeting only them. Before the final plan is set in motion, diminishing the Fierce Bird Sect’s strength bit by bit could be advantageous. The Horror Bird Organization seems to aim for a gradual consumption strategy, and, additionally, this is likely based on retaliation for the day before yesterday’s heavy losses at Horror Bird Organization’s first stronghold..."

The person in the gray robe explained.

"The Yabadon Life Tree will be fully matured in two days."

"Blood Bird can’t even wait two days!?"

A flash of anger swept over the face of the suit-clad elder.

The person in the gray robe fell silent for a moment, then continued.

"The Horror Bird Organization wants our cooperation and assistance."

"Impossible, I am not going to dispatch people over there."

The suit-clad elder’s face became expressionless.

"Sir."

"They just want a Yabadon Life Tree Branch to help them instantly initiate a hunting ground, drawing the Fierce Bird Sect’s people into the Nest of Gluttony..."

"By leveraging the home field advantage, they intend to eradicate the Fierce Bird Sect’s living forces."

The person in the gray robe kept speaking.

This time, the suit-clad elder did not object, but simply pondered for a moment.

"That is acceptable."

"As long as it doesn’t deplete our power, that’s fine."

"Our people must absolutely not make any moves unless it’s absolutely necessary!"

He thought of secrets only he knew about, which his subordinates were oblivious to. A great personage in the Silent Courtyard intended to return to the real world with the maturity of the Yabadon Life Tree as the opportunity.

The entire descent ceremony absolutely must not be interrupted.

Even if it required the sacrifice of all the Evil Ghost Court’s power in Huaisui City, it had to be ensured without fail. This was also why he did not want to expose things prematurely. Any early attention from the Martial Arts Association would certainly increase the risk.

...

Pujiang District, Lingshui Road, No. 152.

The lush Guardian Trees were densely planted along the edge of the fence.

Green branches overhung the wall, rustling in the gentle breeze.

A subtle scent of flowers wafted from the white railings and walls within.

Bai Xiao looked through the car window at the golden plaque with its artistic characters.

"Martial Arts Association."

He had been here once before to obtain his professional certificate.

Now, here he was again.

Inside the car, there were four core disciples in total.

They were Bai Xiao, being the seventh core disciple, Xia Shi as the second, Jin Lie as the third, and Jiang Jing as the sixth. As for the other core disciples, especially the eldest brother Wu Binghe, all were left to guard the Fierce Bird Sect Headquarters.

This visit to the Martial Arts Association.

Sect Leader Yan Qi only brought some elders and core disciples.

Whish whish whish...

The motorcade entered in single file through the wide-open wrought iron gate.

Finally, they parked in a spacious lot.

There was already a row of cars quietly parked in the parking spaces.

Clearly, people from other schools had already arrived.

Click, the car door opened.

Yan Qi, dressed in the distinctive combat uniform of the Fierce Bird Sect, had broad and powerful shoulders and a robust figure, carrying an air mixed with both civilization and savagery. His gray-white hair flitted in the wind, exuding a strong presence.

Tap.

Chen Liao, attired in simple and plain grey garbs, also got out.

He was slightly hunched, his face gaunt.

But a subtle sense of danger.

Spread silently from his hands that were always clasped behind his back.

And then there was Wen Yuan, the white-haired elder who had met Bai Xiao once.

A few elders led the way, bringing Bai Xiao and other disciples inside.

The Martial Arts Association, main building one, the hall.

The members of the Fierce Bird Sect walked in slowly.

Inside, there were disciples from other schools wearing combat uniforms waiting.

Those in light yellow combat uniforms belonged to the Steel Bell Sect.

Those with a black tiger head on their chest were from the Rock Tiger Sect.

As for the Fiery Fire Martial Arts Hall, their people had not arrived yet.

At this moment, with the entrance of the Fierce Bird Sect into the hall,

The people from the other two martial arts sects turned their attention to them.

Particularly the younger generation.

They looked curiously at Bai Xiao and the three other core disciples.

"Hey, who is that guy?"

"Which one are you talking about?"

"The cold-faced muscle man with black hair."

"I don’t know him."

Two core disciples from the Steel Bell Sect whispered to each other.

"I’ve never seen this person before; perhaps he’s a new core disciple of the Fierce Bird Sect. Probably just passed the core trial and advanced to the seventh core..."

"Another core disciple appeared in the Fierce Bird Sect?"

"He looks very young, another promising Martial Artist."

Several elders from the Rock Tiger Sect spoke with a tinge of wariness.

Clearly, in Huai Shui City, the Fierce Bird Sect and the other sects were in a competitive relationship. There might be some cooperation, but overall the situation was competitive.

After all, people of the same trade are jealous of each other.

The Martial Arts Association mainly played a role of communicating and integrating.

Five minutes later.

Outside the hall, a group dressed in light red combat uniforms walked in. The leader was a man in his thirties, robust in stature, with gold embroidery on the cuffs of his red combat uniform and a flaming pattern adorning the neckline.

His gaze was eagle-sharp.

Even a cursory look his way imparted an intense sense of pressure.

The Fiery Fire Martial Arts Hall’s Deputy Master, Luo Yan.

He had made a name for himself in the Dark World’s martial arts contest held in 2010 though he only placed at the bottom margin, but still made it through the preliminary and elimination rounds, falling in the first round of the qualifying matches. His talent and strength are evident, especially when considering only the context of Huai Shui City.

Luo Yan, at thirty-seven, was already at the last stage of being a Martial Artist, thrusting toward the level of Fierce Bird Sect Master Yan Qi.
