"Attack, another attack."
"That doesn't make any sense. Who would be so foolish?"
Madeleine frowned. After passing the middle tier trial, she of course received rewards. Though they weren't as exaggerated as Dyon's 5 years of protection, she surpassed the previous True God Star and Diasho by receiving 2 years of protection in thanks to her 13th Order Prowess. This meant that she had just over a year and three months of protection left still. Simply put, there was no point in attacking them.
What Titus had done a few months back was send an assault on the danger zones, not their territory. Since even Dyon only got 6 months of protection, Madeleine obviously got even less.
They had just finished repelling the forced Titus put together, yet now they were dealing with an attack on their main land? It didn't make sense. If anyone attempted, they would end up as severely injured as God Malthor of the Enigmatic Sect.
"It's not an attack on our territory, our danger zones are in danger again. Also, I'm receiving reports that many of our disciples that had gone out to train were ambushed. Though none of them were killed, they're being captured and strung up. I think their goal is to humiliate us." Cheri trembled in anger.
They were all women. The level of humiliation they'd face in capture was even a step above their male counterparts, especially with how old fashioned the martial world was. This was a slap to the face the Flaming Lily Sect couldn't withstand.
Madeleine stood abruptly. Her delicate features, usually filled with a serene and loving calmness, was now morphed by a deep anger.
"Unacceptable." Madeleine's delicate roar tore through Flaming Lily Sect territory.
She rushed out the room, brushing past Cheri.
At that moment, Cheri's expression completely changed. In one instant, she was a loyal member of the Flaming Lily Sect, enraged for her fellow disciples. But, in the next, she had transformed into a completely different person.
A coldness overtook her features as a silver dagger appeared in her hand. Though she wasn't as powerful as Madeleine, she was still a core disciple with an excellent foundation and even better cultivation.
Without a breath of hesitation, as though Madeleine was nothing but a stranger to her, she sent the dagger careening toward Madeleine's back.
Her timing was perfect and her position even more so. Without suspense, the dagger would pierce directly through Madeleine's back and into her heart.
The plan was flawless. As a member of the Flaming Lily Sect, even if she was attacking Madeleine, there would be no penalty. Unless Madeleine personally expelled her, she was free to attack whomever she pleased. Unfortunately for Madeleine who would be caught unawares, she wouldn't have the time to expel Cheri before the dagger dealt her a fatal wound. Or so Cheri believed…
Madeleine's delicate figure suddenly spun around, a violet flame coating her palm as she viciously slapped Cheri's wrist downward, sending her crashing into the floor.
Her violet hair fluttered wildly, the amethyst gems that were her eyes flickering with rage.
Cheri cried out in pain as the bones in her arms shattered to fine dust. An instant later, a vicious cold sunk into her body, coursing through her veins and seeping into what remained of her bones.
At that moment, a shriek of a third female caught Madeleine off guard.
"Murder! Murder! Madeleine has gone insane!"
Flaming Lily Sect territory erupted into flames. Madeleine suddenly realized what had happened. Whoever planned this never expected for Cheri to succeed at all.
In truth, before the events with Yandevere, maybe Madeleine would have fallen for Cheri's ruse. However, those events greatly matured Madeleine's outlook. She wasn't so quick to lower her guard anymore.
Still, whoever it was who did this obviously didn't care about Madeleine's maturity. All they wanted was to throw Madeleine's territory into absolute chaos.
All around, hidden spies of the Golden Flame Sect suddenly tore off their own masks, viciously attacking fellow disciples with impunity.
The worst part was that Madeleine had no way of knowing who was on which side. So many fights had erupted that it became impossible to differentiate who initiated which battles. If she expelled the wrong individuals from her protected territory, wouldn't she be making more enemies for herself?
"Murder! Murder! Madeleine has forsaken us!"
Madeleine frowned as numerous core disciples flew toward her with savage expressions. Didn't Dyon take control of Yandevere? So how is it that they didn't find out about this beforehand?!
"You've impugned upon Flaming Lily Sect rules. You are not fit for the title of Legatee!"
As if matters weren't terrible enough, war horns sounded in the distance. Another attack had been initiated by an unknown enemy. Madeleine was facing attacks from the inside and outside!

Dyon unclenched his jaw. An eerie calm overtook every fiber of his body.
Isla who was hidden within Ri's robes trembled, pulling on Centauress' arm. The three small fairies looked toward each other but didn't say anything. They simply didn't trust their voices.
'Evangeline.'
Dyon attempted to communicate with the Life Saving Jade hidden deep within his mind's eye. It was a difficult task considering he hadn't even noticed it was there before, but now that he knew there was something to look for, it was marginally easier.
'Little Dyon? It's not good for you to contact me like this.'
Evangeline had planned on ignoring Dyon's voice. She had her own troubles. If she didn't, why wouldn't she stay by Dyon's side and ensure that no harm ever came to him? If Dyon had a Higher Existence in his inner world, he could walk through the mortal plane practically unimpeded. But, in the end, she didn't have the heart to.
'If you can, could you possibly stop Amphorae, Zaire and Little Lyla from continuing on their course? It's too dangerous to continue with the first plan. I have no way to contact them quickly.'
'This…'
'If it's too inconvenient for you, forget about it. I don't want to harm you either.'
Evangeline trembled.
