Book 8: Chapter 59: Manpower (2)
At this moment, the war on Flaming Lily Sect territory was still raging. After the traitors to the Sect took over the teleportation stations, it was no longer possible for Madeleine, or anyone else, to return as they pleased. And leaving this territory and heading to another was even more impossible because Madeleine was very much aware that there were enemies outside now that would give her far more trouble than what she was already facing here.
It was clear that this was the Golden Flame Sect’s retaliation for God Goldeen’s death – what Madeline didn’t know was that it was also instigated by Aritzia. With what occurred in the Golden Flame Quadrant being a relative unknown, the Golden Crow Sect elders grew tired of waiting. All this time, they had been laying low for the sake of not alerting more powerful Clans that the Golden Crow Bloodline was still alive, but with their ancestor likely gone now, was there a point?
By using the celestial floors, they planned on wiping out all of the loyal celestial disciples that remained. Once that was completed, the Flaming Lily Sect would be finished… Dao experts might be the backbone of a Sect, but celestials were the foundation. There were only a few dozen Dao Formation experts at most, but the power base of a sect were there millions, sometimes billions, of celestials. They were what truly decided if a sect or clan was powerful.
Once the detractors were silenced, the Flaming Lily Sect wouldn’t have any hope remaining.
Madeleine grit her teeth, digging deep. Her violet flames truly made their presence known. If it wasn’t for dual cultivating with Dyon, she knew well that her soul wouldn’t have been able to sustain such continuous use of these high-level wills.
It felt as though all of the most powerful members of her Sect were traitors. Madeleine had no choice but to fight 3 pseudo dao experts at once. Let alone seeing a path to victory, she was just trying her best to keep her own life. The difference between celestials and pseudo dao experts, even 3rd grade pseudo dao experts like these 3, was too much.
If it wasn’t for Madeleine’s great regenerating abilities, she would have long since fallen. The problem was that intents could only be so effective against enigmatic qi. Since pseudo-dao experts had partially grasped this energy, the inferior celestial qi struggled…
Blood seeped from Madeleine’s lips, a haggard and tired expression on her beautiful features.
“Was it worth it?! Was it worth it to cripple my little sister?!”
One of the pseudo-dao experts pressed forward, rage clear on her face. This girl wasn’t Cheri’s blood elder sister, but they had grown up together. They struggled and worked their way up the Flaming Lily Sect rankings together.
Seeing Cheri’s arms completely crippled, Fiona lost her mind. When she found out it was Madeleine who did it, she no longer cared about anything else.
If the situation wasn’t like this, why wouldn’t Madeleine have directly expelled them from her territory? The issue was that if Fiona wasn’t a traitor like her little sister was, then sending out of this territory was the equivalent of sending her to death. Madeleine was unwilling to do this…
No matter how much Madeleine wanted to explain the situation, would you listen if someone was telling you that the little sister you knew all your life was a treacherous villain? Of course not.
Madeleine had no way of knowing if Fiona and her two helpers were traitors or not, leading to this situation here.
“Do you think me and my little sister are as lucky as you are?!” Tears flowed down Fiona’s cheeks. “She’ll never have the chance to become a dao formation expert now! Why? Was her presence too annoying for the mighty Sacharro Princess?!”
Resentment bubbled within Fiona’s chest. Her tears seemed to fuel her strength. She didn’t care about anything else but revenge. She didn’t even care if Dyon came to punish her afterward, but she would make Madeleine pay for what she did to her little sister.
Madeleine expressionlessly waved her pearly white fan, images of a majestic peacock flashing to her back as she met Fiona’s palm strikes with her own.
Her ample chest expanded as she took a deep breath. “[Violet Revival Flames].”
Madeleine suddenly felt that weeks of fatigue vanished. Her violet pseudo dao array, spanning 100 meters, rushed over her body.
Violet Flames flickered over her wounds, closing them at a pace visible to the eye.
Purple hair billowing in the wind, amethyst pupils sparkling like the sun, Madeleine’s fan disappeared into her spatial ring only to be replaced by a beautiful lyre in the next moment.
[Violet Revival Flames]. Allowed Madeleine to directly reach her peak state in an instant practically without penalty. The only issue was that she wouldn’t be able to use the life and reincarnation characteristics her violet flames for a period of time, which was why she hadn’t used it until now…
Celestial will bloomed outward from Madeleine, a beautiful domain of swirling crystals and violet flames appearing in the skies above the burning city. Despite being pseudo dao experts, in the face of Madeleine’s pseudo-domain, they couldn’t summon their own!
Madeleine’s delicate and slender fingers grasped her lyre. In the next moment, what seemed like a soft pluck reverberated through the battlefield.
It seemed as though everything paused. Madeleine’s red mage robes disappeared, replaced by the very dress Dyon gifted her… A beautiful white gown that once belonged to his master, Esmeralda. It had been almost 30 years since Dyon gave it to her…
Before, Madeleine had been unable to make use of its properly because it was a transcendent grade treasure. But now?… Things were different.
