Chapter 211: 117 Tonight is… the Night of Slaughter!
Suburbs, a white sanatorium nestled in the woods.
Underground, at the core of the mountain cave.
The top of the cement-poured steps, where one can oversee from high above.
An elderly man in a suit stood quietly, his gaze hazy.
In the distance, a blood-colored glass tree was thriving robustly.
Surrounding the tree roots, corpses were sapped of blood, their skin shriveled and pale—remarkably, these were members of the Fierce Bird Sect who had died in this afternoon’s sudden raid. The Horror Bird Organization did not let their bodies go; rather, it was the bodies they were after.
The members’ blood of the Fierce Bird Sect were drained by the Yabadon Life Tree. Certain components in the blood were absorbed to nourish the Yabadon Life Tree.
With a large number of Horror Birds, an excellent result was achieved.
Below, a Killing Ghost in black robes was rhythmically at work.
Every half hour, several Horror Birds were killed to feed the Yabadon Life Tree. Since the trunk was translucent, one could see thick, vein-like blood lines moving inside the trunk, forming a mass.
An indistinct shape formed, resembling a beating heart.

A few days ago, the Yabadon Life Tree was only about twenty meters tall.
Now it stood impressively at about forty meters.
Branches grew mid-air, inexplicably floating despite their delicate and pliable tips, as if an invisible gel-like substance in the air beneath was lifting and wrapping around them.
Dark currents surged in every direction, causing the branches of the Yabadon Life Tree to shake violently, rustling loudly.
Hum!
Visible to the naked eye, within the cave below.
Several strange, transparent cracks suddenly appeared.
The transparent cracks resembled narrow mirrors.
Something tentacle-like was slowly moving inside the mirror.
A huge pupil flashed by, bringing an intense sense of danger.
An unfortunate Horror Bird got sucked in and shredded to pieces.
Swish!
The next second, something flickered on the platform above.
A figure in black robes, twisted with currents of air, suddenly appeared.
His right hand hung slightly lower, his fingertips tainted with a streak of purple blood.
The blood plopped to the ground, corroding a bowl-sized hole in the cement platform, exhibiting the violent nature of a chemical reagent.
“As I expected.”
“After being nourished with the blood and souls of the Fierce Bird Sect members, the Yabadon Life Tree is moving towards that area with the aura of the Demon Bird…”
The man in the black robe looked down at the blood-colored glass tree and said slowly.
“Indeed, the effect is quite exceptional.”
The elderly man in the suit nodded and then asked, “What are the losses?”
The man in the black robe pondered for a moment and answered.
“Though it was a sudden raid and we were prepared, even strategized against some stronger opponents, nothing can be perfect; there are always unforeseen incidents. The most significant loss was that of Evil Ghost Gujiu, whose task failed and got injured by Wu Binghe, the Senior Disciple of Fierce Bird Sect. Also, a disciple named Xiao killed the Advanced Killing Ghost Viper.”
His gaze flickered slightly as he slowly turned his head.
For the man in the black robe, the minimum threshold of concern was the level of an Advanced Killing Ghost. Below that, he wouldn’t even remember the names, so Xiao’s other kills, including Gujiu and five others, were ignored.
“Oh? Evil Ghost Gujiu? I recall he is one of your most formidable operatives. Even he couldn’t subdue Wu Binghe?”
The elderly man ignored Xiao, only discussing Wu Binghe’s case.
After all, for them,
Anyone below Evil Ghost Level and Martial Artists wasn’t worth much attention.
“Yes, Gujiu was injured.”
“Wu Binghe, he’s not simple…”
The man in the black robe paused for a moment, then silently switched topics.
“Our raid on the Fierce Bird Sect today will surely raise their alert. Starting tomorrow, I will consolidate the forces at various locations in Huaisui City. Focus them at one or two most crucial points to prevent their retaliation. Our movements are hidden, but not completely invisible…”
“Mm.” The elderly man slowly nodded and asked.
“Do you need our help?”
“No need.” The man in the black robe instantly replied decisively.
Every piece of assistance from the Evil Ghost Court now meant more obligations for the Horror Bird Organization in the future. He didn’t want to be controlled by the Evil Ghost Court.
Ten minutes later, the elderly man left.
On the cement platform, only the figure of the man in the black robe remained.
Tap tap tap, footsteps approached quickly on the stairs, belonging to members of the Horror Bird Organization.
“Leader.”
A Killing Ghost, seemingly nursing hidden injuries, stopped in his tracks.
A faint whiff of blood seeped from his wounds.
“Mm, Gujiu, you came…”
The man in the black robe remained motionless.
“Lord, the message you asked me to convey has been delivered to that person.” Gujiu took a deep breath, then added, “However, from his attitude, I’m not certain he will accept your proposal for cooperation…”
“He will accept it.”
The man in the black robe slowly turned around, his cloak’s hem swirling with dark mist.
“But he attacked me directly, he’s very strong…”
Gujiu’s tone was uncertain.
“I said, he will accept it.”
The man in the black robe spoke resolutely, a turbulent wave of fear radiating around him as if enveloping his figure in a vast vortex.
“I’ll make a trip to the deepest layers of the world…”
“The underground base will be under your control in my absence.”
“If there is any unexpected situation, judge for yourself.”
“Yes!” Gujiu bowed slightly.
Swish, the next second, the man in the black robe vanished.
