Reaper of the Martial World Chapter Book 7: 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 sothing that was likely an internal matter.

Often tis, Dyon held himself and those around him to standards that made little sense for his current strength. It seed to be the epito 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 so principles that Dyon would never bend on.

Several years ago, when Madeleine fought the Fiery Lotus and Fla Rebirth Sect geniuses, she had gone out of her way to provoke them with her words. This wasn’t sothing that Madeleine would normally do. She was known for her amiable personality and her dislike of confrontation. Yet, this was still the very sa 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 mont to truly understand just why Dyon would react so fiercely and why Madeleine would beco 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 imdiately caught the attention of many individuals. Even though she hid her God grade constitution initially, her connection with Athyst was more than enough to alert even the upper echelons of the Golden Crow Sect, let alone the Flaming Lily Sect. She beca a pheno that not only captured the hearts of many young n, but also earned the respect of a warrior. This only grew when she earned her Empress title so emphatically.

Much like many tis before, the Golden Crow Sect’s God Goldeen took a liking to her talent. However, as soone 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 Athyst was rumored to have left her Legacy in the Celestial Deer Quadrant. This assumption beca 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 Fla Mystical World ca to be known by them. This pretext beca the perfect excuse to probe Madeleine’s backers.

In the public, the Golden Fla 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 flas. 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 thod, 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 ss? If Madeleine was lying about her connection to ?

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 Fla Mystical World!

Not only had the Flaming Lily Sect used Dyon’s na 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 ti the Golden Crow Sect had done such a thing and it likely wouldn’t be the last ti.

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 Fla 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 sa instance happen to those close to her.

The forr first ranked inner disciple before Madeleine took the title was taken away by them. The Flaming Lily Sect once had two 7th 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?!
