The Red Swan Sect was shrouded in darkness, only illuminated by the various lamps hung all across the sect. Various disciples stood as guard, looking in the eternal darkness of night.

Somehow, the dark clouds had covered the whole sky and the moon had hidden behind them, making the night darker.

Under the magnificent buildings of the Sect, a whole necropolis was made. In one of the rooms of this necropolis, a small meeting was taking place.

Around a circular table, a total of Ten individual sat as they listened to the conversation of the three Head Elders, who were sitting at some distance from others.

One of the Head Elder, adorning a red coloured wooden mask gazed at the Elders of the Assassin Organisation and asked in a cold voice.

"Did any of you reveal the location of here?"

A woman sitting across him chuckled softly and said.

"Snake, you should know better that they can't do that even if they wanted."

The Head Elder with the codename Snake nodded in understanding as he found her words true.

"But Vanish, then how come the calamity is going to come to us? Not many know about our main base and everyone who knows can't talk about it."

Vanish shrugged.

"If it's a calamity that could threaten us then I'm sure whatever it is have means to reach us."

Snakes slammed the table in frustration. No matter how much he thought, he couldn't understand how the calamity would struck them. He planned to ask the diviner to divine one more time but she already fell unconscious so he couldn't even ask her.

All they could do was sit and wait for whatever was coming for them. They were helpless. That was why they had gathered their strongest members in the main base already.

Just as they were about to discuss the measures they had to take to face the calamity, they all felt a chill run down their spine as the room's temperature dropped by several degrees.

They heard someone clapping and turned to look at the source, only to see a figure clad in black clothes sitting on a crimson red throne and looking at them through the visors of his demonic mask.

They were alarmed as none of them heard anyone entering. They didn't even sense anything. Just a moment ago, they wer chatting and now an outsider sat there.

Shen Yu clapped and chuckled as he spoke in a low, sinister voice that seemed to come from the depths of hell.

"I didn't think you would see me in such high regards. And looks like you also have a good Diviner."

Snake stood up as he got ready to summon his weapon. He didn't do anything and asked, as he tried to probe for some information.

"Who are you and why are you targeting our organisation?"

The man in front of him was a powerhouse and there wasn't a single doubt about it. He has sneaked in a room full of powerful Cultivators without being noticed, not to mention the eerie feeling he gave.

They could do nothing but face the air hitting their body as they fell from the sky.

They didn't want to resign themselves on fate but after trying many things, they knew they didn't have any choice.

They could only hope they don't fall in an area populated with powerful Spiritual Creatures.

After some time passed, they crashed on the ground, making holes on the surface. However, they didn't care about it as they hurriedly stood up and gathered together.

All of a sudden, they heard a loud screech which forced them to close their ears by putting their hands on them. It was high pitched and hurt their ears.

They raised their head, only to see a giant bird flying towards them. It was over three hundred metres long with features similar to that of a vulture.

However, their aerial Spiritual Creatures had a powerful aura that threatened even the powerful Spiritual Creatures living on Land.

It was the sole ruler of the skies.

"T-Tier 7 Spiritual Creature."

Snake stumbled back in terror as he looked at the vulture growing bigger and bigger. It didn't take a genius mind to know that it was as coming towards them.

Vanish also her eyes on the vulture and the sight of it's murderous eyes was making her legs weak. She cursed as her head snapped towards Snake.

"Fuck you, Snake. It's all because of you we're in this situation. Who told you to send assassins after Ying Yue?"

Snake's heart shook as he was reminded of the mysterious man and why he was here. Regret filled his heart as he raised his trembling hand onto his mask.

"I-I don't know. I was just thinking about the future of our organisation. She was growing rapidly and she wasn't even loyal to the organisation. If I had not decided to kill her, she might have come after our organisation."

Vanish clicked her tongue and looked at the Third Head Elder who had been silent till now.

"What do you suggest?"

The third head Elder was a short man who carried dense muscles underneath his darkened his skin.

"We should wait. This is the Senter Valley base and from what I'm guessing, that man must have already conquered this base. He must have gotten the location from Ying Yue and after settling things here, he somehow got the location of our base from Tornado."

Vanish narrowed her eyes at him.

"Doesn't that mean we're basically doomed? If he has already come here then it means he must have deactivated the formation so that bird could eat us."

The Third Elder shook his head and sighed.

"If he only wanted that, he could have done it very easily. He probably wants something from us so first he is showing us his power."
