Book 7: Chapter 128: Faint (1)

No one outside of the Flaming Lily Sect disciples heard Dyon’s words, but that didn’t stop those around from noticing the increased tension. A few eyebrows raised, but they knew better than to inquire about something that was likely an internal matter.

Often times, Dyon held himself and those around him to standards that made little sense for his current strength. It seemed to be the epitome of stupidity to provoke not just a normal dao formation expert, but one who was the second-in-command to a sect that had established a great power in the fourth ranked quadrant. However, there were some principles that Dyon would never bend on.

Several years ago, when Madeleine fought the Fiery Lotus and Flame Rebirth Sect geniuses, she had gone out of her way to provoke them with her words. This wasn’t something that Madeleine would normally do. She was known for her amiable personality and her dislike of confrontation. Yet, this was still the very same Madeleine who tore those geniuses apart with nothing more than her words.

Why had Madeleine done this? It was because she was enraged and disappointed.

One needs to think back for a moment to truly understand just why Dyon would react so fiercely and why Madeleine would become so emotional. Plus, why was it that the Golden Crow Sect decided to probe the strength of Madeleine’s backing first? Did it even make much sense to do so?

When Madeleine entered the Flaming Lily Sect, she immediately caught the attention of many individuals. Even though she hid her God grade constitution initially, her connection with Amethyst was more than enough to alert even the upper echelons of the Golden Crow Sect, let alone the Flaming Lily Sect. She became a phenome that not only captured the hearts of many young men, but also earned the respect of a warrior. This only grew when she earned her Empress title so emphatically.

Much like many times before, the Golden Crow Sect’s God Goldeen took a liking to her talent. However, as someone who had earned the God title, he wasn’t stupid. How could such a talented woman appear from nowhere? These questions were only further supported by the fact that Amethyst was rumored to have left her Legacy in the Celestial Deer Quadrant. This assumption became even more prevalent as Dyon shot up the trial rankings.

As God Goldeen was investigating Madeleine’s past, it was then that the location of the Golden Flame Mystical World came to be known by them. This pretext became the perfect excuse to probe Madeleine’s backers.

In the public, the Golden Flame Quadrant could make the excuse that they wanted to cripple the Flaming Lily Sect before the Mystical World opened so that they could take the benefits all for themselves. This excuse was far better than allowing the world to know that they wanted to kidnap a young woman for her flames. After all, this was the martial world, war within quadrants for resources was normal.

Also, in the case they failed, they could just shrug their shoulders and back away. With this roundabout method, if Dyon was truly Madeleine’s husband, they’d have plausible deniability. As long as they had this “reason” on their side, Dyon’s Clan couldn’t justifiably attack them.

However, this was only one side of the story from the singular perspective of the Golden Crow Sect. If this was all there was to it, why would Dyon be aiming his anger here instead of toward them?

Just like the Golden Crow Sect was probing to find out Dyon’s identity, so were the upper echelon of the Flaming Lily Sect!

What do you think would have happened had Dyon not been a True God? If he had he not sent the Demon Generals to clean up the Flaming Lily Sect’s mess? If Madeleine was lying about her connection to me?

In order to avoid the potential collapse of their sect, the Flaming Lily Sect would have handed over Madeleine in exchange for entry into the Golden Flame Mystical World!

Not only had the Flaming Lily Sect used Dyon’s name to maintain their prestige to the outside world, they had also used his wife as bait to lure him out for this test. How could Dyon not be completely pissed off? He had let them off once already by not saying anything upon his arrival, but did this Vice Master really think that he was none the wiser? That they had really pulled the wool over his eyes? No!

This wasn’t even the worst part of this situation either. This wasn’t the first time the Golden Crow Sect had done such a thing and it likely wouldn’t be the last time.

Why was it that Madeleine was enraged by the actions of the Vermillion Sisters and the Gaia siblings back then? Didn’t she ask them what their elder sister would think of what they were doing?

This simple question had sent the inner sect geniuses into a rage, but wasn’t Madeleine correct?

The worst part about all of this was that the Fiery Lotus and Flame Rebirth Sects weren’t the only Sects to lose outstanding female disciples under the pretext of “marrying” into the Goldeen Family. Even the Flaming Lily Sect themselves had!

Even Madeleine, who had only been in the sect for twenty to thirty years had this very same instance happen to those close to her.

The former first ranked inner disciple before Madeleine took the title was taken away by them. The Flaming Lily Sect once had two 7^th Order Legatees, both were taken by the Golden Crow Sect. And these were just cases Madeleine was either close to, or were too famous to hide. Who knew how many others had suffered?!

The Flaming Lily Sect allowed all of this happen. Whether it was the insult to himself, his wife, or that of their very own disciples…. What right did such a sect have to test him?!
