Movements in the Dark(2)

'I need to inform higher-ups about this and also the tide... w-wait could it be the tide i-isn't natural. Damn it they are already on us.. I need to inform Elder Su directly!'

.....

Star Sword Sect,

A major sect which technically comes under to rule of Blue Sky Kingdom. Situated in the eastern region of the Kingdom which was only 2000 miles away from the Bovate Kingdom.

In one the most busiest places of sect the servant quarters, where you could see servant disciples moving around.

In the head office you could see a dignified middle-aged man doing some paperwork while mumbling and stroking his beard,

"Old Tai have asked for more servant disciples to manage the dining hall for outer court."

"Kid Mu is asking for a holiday because he had an enlightenment in the Way Of Swords."

"His brother is also asking for a holiday because he broke his leg while practicing."

"Assistant Elder Li is asking for leave to go on a date... wait what, he is asking for a holiday to go on a shitty date, who would even date a muscle-head like you. Let me see with whom you are going, umm it is... Elder Ru from Azure Lotus Sect."

Seeing this request the middle-aged man was so angry that he almost pulled out his beard.

"Bastard Li atleast try to lie a bit, even kids know how to make up lies to go on a date. Damn! is our sect going to become a marriage bureau. Every damn person from the outer sect is trying to court the ladies of Azure Lotus Sect but why can't I find a woman. Why is my life so hard, ohh heavens what have I done my previous life to live without a dao companion for almost 300 years."

The middle-aged man could only get more depressed thinking about it. As the middle-aged man was getting lost in thought of depression his communication device started to Buzz intensely, suddenly the demeanor of the middle-aged man completely became serious.

Picking up the call he asked in a serious tone

"What happen Bai Li?"

"Elder Song our people which were stationed near the Demonic Sect have been captured or are seriously injured."

Listening this Elder Song's face became extremely gloomy but he still let her continue

"After the investigation it was found that there were no traitor's but the deputy captain was being controlled."

"Controlled?! but how were they controlled..... w-wait the Gu insects!!." 

"Yes I think the remnants of the Devil Gu Sects should be helping the old Demonic Sect, not only that but I think they are controlling the beasts residing in the outer area of the Star forest. They are already planning to capture me. I don't really know the reason why are they trying to capture instead of killing everyone but I think there are more forces behind this.

The Sunset Sect involvement has already been confirmed with the shadow of Sky Sword Sect. "

Listening further Elder Song's face became gloomy and gloomy and killing intent leaked out from his complete body but he still remained calm and replied

"Don't worry, I'll contact Peak Master Xuan to come over to your place as he is just returning to the sect but until then you have to hold on. Don't underestimate the people behind the scenes because they won't move unless they are completely prepared. They would come with the intention to capture you, therefore just try to stall them for atmost 6 hours."

"Yes Elder Song."

Bai finally sighed in relief hearing the name of Elder Xuan.

The legendary person who became the Youngest Peak Master of Star Sword Sect. 

On other hand, Elder Song quickly contacted Elder Xuan. Though it took some time explaining the situation, fortunately he finally agreed at the end. He would probably reach Inwood Town in 5 hours. 

Tapping on the table he trying to recollect everything about the past century and tried to figure out how to save the remaining people from the Old Demonic Sect.

Finally after 10 minutes he took a long breathe and spoke,

"The Stars have finally moved, the "Successor" has finally been discovered and the world would has entered the Golden Era, but the goal for the sect would never change until the "successor" of the Great Being completes the trails assigned. 

Saying this to himself Elder Song completely vanished from his office.

....

Inwood Town,

While everyone in town were getting ready for the beast tide, Bai Li opened her storage pouch and started to pour out most of the spirit stones that she had saved for her breakthrough to the array formation that was used to protect the town. This would help the town to remain safer for a longer period of time.

"Brad keep this place safe and also tell the team to spread out at every Array nodes."

"Yes Boss."

The black shadow under Bai Li's feet moved near the dark area of the underground room.

Bai Li had already gotten news that the beast tide would come in an hour. So she went out and prepared to stroll near the orphanage to move the children and all the caretakers to the special bunker she had prepared for them. This was also because she as a orphan always took care of orphanages as they did not have any help from outside and only worked to take care of children. 

ROOOOR!!!!!

As she was safely guided everyone from the orphanage an earth-shattering roar sounded from the star forest which immediately changed the expression of the people in town. 

Bai Li's face was as dark as it could be, she immediately sent a message to the head of the Orphanage to evacuate to the special bunker. Then she immediately moved towards the the walls with only one thought in mind.

'Wasn't the tide going to come in tonight?!'

4 hours ago,

Inner Region of Star Forest,

This was one of the most dangerous area of the entire Eastern Region. The area it took was almost equivalent 20 sky kingdom combined.

It was still an unexplored place and contained 7 forbidden zones, even Peak Soul Forging Realm cultivators couldn't return alive from these places.

This place also contains few powerful ancient Beasts which always stayed in their own territory and never came out or else it would be disaster for all the Kingdoms near by, but even in such condition there were still people who had built an underground cave near the Blood Valley which was one of the forbidden zones.

At the center of the cave there where 5 dark red-clothed people sitting on the chairs while drinking crimson-red blood.

"Third brother why are we keeping those people alive instead of killing them?!"

"Fifth how many times am i going to tell you that the people from the other sects want them."

" But from when did we started listening the orders from those ants."

"Who the heck is listening to them, this are also the orders of the Perfected One!!! "

After listening to this the anger of the fifth brother completely vanished and only cold sweat remained on his back. 

"Third you can't remain shut can you!!".

A gloomy voice came from the main seat

"I-I am really sorry first brother."

The third brother immediately bowed and said.

"Alright now our goal is to attack the Inwood town and capture the infamous White Cloud, this is the order of the Perfected One from the 3rd Branch."

"First brother she would have already guessed that we are coming for her and would have already send signal to her sect.

The reinforcements would probably come in 10 hours or so. If we have to attack, we need to do in 5 hours or so, as we don't know how many trump cards she would have. So it is better to be cautious and attack together with a bigger beast tide."

Second brother spoke calmly.

"Alright! Get ready we will attack in 4 hours. There is no need to wait for more time, just control the beasts and launch the beast tide as soon as possible. After we catch her off guard we will capture her with the device given by the Perfected One."

After the first brother spoke he immediately stood up and left with second and fourth, leaving only third and fifth brother were left in the hall.

After a brief silence fifth brother finally broke the silence,

"Why do we all have to do so much thing just for a puny Spirit Core . We all are a Realm higher than her so why can't we just directly attack them?!"

"Don't underestimate her she was once a genius of Star Sword Sect a century ago. "

"Hahahaha.. third brother you sure know how to joke, a woman who used 100 years to reach Spirit Cor-"

**SMAACK***

"Fu*k how dare you attack me!!!"

"This is why no one wants to tell you something because you are just a f*cking idiot with no brains and think's himself as a young master of a powerful clan so that you can look down on everyone."

"Even i can reach spirit core realm in 100 years or so."

**SMAACK**

"You deaf person, I said 100 years ago not that it took 100 years. She was already a Spirit Core Realm expert at the age of 32."

"W-What! than doesn't that mean that she would be a prominent figure in the younger generation in the Kingdom."

"Well that is if only she could break through a higher realm but no one knows why she is still a Peak Core Realm even after 100 years. Still there are rumors that she has killed people from higher realm than her.

After hearing what the third brother spoke, Fifth finally calmed down and sneered

"Still a Core Realm is an ant, she might have killed few newly advanced Soul Forging Experts but we are veterans."

"Indeed, with all the brothers attacking and including the Beast Tide it should not take a lot of time to capture her alive to complete the mission from the perfected one. Now go and ask those disciples of the Devil Gu Sect to speed up the control the beast tide and attack the Inwood Town and also the other towns of the Gradena City." 

Third Brother spoke and vanished completely.
