lisende suddenly felt a weight on her chest. Aarush was absolute correct. While Dyon could afford to be willful, she couldn’t.
The Golden Crow Sect didn’t have any obligation to give their sects any face at all. They had been suppressing the three of them, including the Flaming Lily Sect, for so many millennia that it should have already been possible for them to sweep over the quadrant.
In truth, the only reason the Golden Crow Sect was holding back until now was in order to keep a lower profile. While many have forgotten the might of the Golden Crow bloodline, those monsters of the outer quadrants definitely hadn’t.
Until now, the Golden Crow Sect had been partially feigning weakness while waiting for the ancestor’s plans to be accomplished. If they decided to drop all pretenses, taking command of 60 or 70 Universes just like those largest Clans and Sects did would only be a matter of a few decades.
Others might not know all these hidden truths, but how could lisende not as the Vice Master of their rival Sect? Although she wasn’t aware of the role Orcus played in all of this, she did know that the Golden Crow Sect was more than twice as powerful as their three lower ranked sects put together!
She had to smooth this situation out. Dyon was still young and rash, and while he could speak for himself, lisende knew that no Clan would take part in a war so far from themselves. And, even if they chose to do so, the paynt they would ask for in return wasn’t sothing the Flaming Lily Sect could afford to pay.
However, before she could make her attempt, Dyon had already chosen to speak again. While the Flaming Lily Sect didn’t understand the full scope of why the Golden Crow Sect held back, how could Dyon not? He had Orcus’ diary, after all. With it, Dyon not only understood the secrets behind the fall of the Golden Crow Sect, he had also learned so truths behind why the Golden Era was the shortest of the four Eras. On top of this, there were secrets about the Ancient Battlefield that opened Dyon’s perspective up to an entirely new world…
“Can you, as an elder who carries neither the Goldeen nor Crow Bloodline, take responsibility for declaring war?”
Dyon’s words froze Elder Aarush in place. He had spoken in the heat of the mont, but he knew just how true Dyon’s words were. The Flaming Lily Sect had been an eyesore for them for millions of years already, yet they hadn’t gotten rid of them yet. There had to be a reason for this. Could he really take responsibility for declaring war? Of course not!
“If you’d like the key, it’s not impossible for you to get it back.” Dyon suddenly said with a smile, his oppressive aura disappearing like the wind.
Elder Aarush narrowed his eyes, but he was forced to answer. “How?”
“Simple. Find soone below the 7th celestial stage capable of defeating my wife and you can have the key.”
Elder Aarush’s jaw clenched, but he could say nothing. God Goldeen was their best talent, yet he was of the 8th Order. Their Golden Crow Bloodline had grown too thin in recent years. While their inner disciples were promising, they were all 7th Order geniuses… They didn’t have anyone capable!
This ti, the elders couldn’t block Dyon any longer. Doing any more would only cause them to lose more face. However, Elder Aarush had already sent word back to the Sect. The highest ranking elder they had that stayed behind was the first elder. He was firmly within the middle dao realm, only he could deal with this situation.

Hours later, Dyon had brought the fifty or so disciples along with lisende to the main base of the Flaming Lily Sect, Planet Lily. The reason behind this na could be seen quite plain as day from standing in the sky above it. A large mountain range that took up half the size of the planet blood outward, its rocky edges forming the shape of a lily.
According to the planet’s history, there was a large volcano connected to the planet’s core at the center. So ti a few dozen million years ago, this volcano erupted. The eruption was so powerful that the molten waste it spewed tore into the skies and through the atmosphere, where it rapidly cooled before it could fully descend. This resulted in the unique lily shape they were all seeing now.
In the past, this event was seen as a tragedy, so the planet was nad Planet Lily in rembrance. As much as 95% of the planet’s inhabitants died. Unfortunately, this was because cultivators had yet to settle here, so much of those who called this place ho back then were weak foundation stage or ridian formation stage experts.
It was only afterward that this eruption was seen as a blessing in disguise for the cultivation world. The lily carried dense fire essence and was a hotbed for the formation of unique flas. Those who practiced along the fire dao path cultivated at twice the speed here as they would anywhere else. And, the lily itself could be considered a massive dao grade fire abyssal core.
Knowing a place like this existed, it really was curious that the Golden Crow Sect had yet to attempt to monopolize it.
At this mont, the golden yacht slowly descended upon the planet, but paused just before entering its atmosphere.
“You can all go.” Dyon said. “Madeleine has just given birth, so I must return her to our ho. I’ll be back to have that eting we spoke about within a few months.”
lisende frowned, but she understood in the end. Having Madeleine here was too dangerous.
After seeing them all off, Dyon directly left with Madeleine by his side, not knowing that just minutes later, First Elder Crow entered Flaming Lily Sect territory, completely uncaring for the usual rules and customs.
