Chapter 1554 Burn



Madeleine smiled and allowed it. Having a True Empath for a master might be the greatest blessing one could have. They understood the needs of others too well. If Lyla said so, there definitely wasn't a mistake.

Like this, Yandevere fell back from the role of spearhead, allowing Zaire to rampage as he pleased.

As though he wasn't satisfied with mere ranged attacks, he descended from the skies, landing in the burnt marsh to erupt with more strength.

The Golden Crow Sect army had almost two dozen Pseudo Dao experts who were waiting for a proper opportunity to attack. Unfortunately, just when they thought they could, Lyla's delicate voice spread through the battlefield.

"Disperse."

The quality of pseudo dao expert here was too low. As much as the Golden Crow Sect wanted to, it was impossible for them to bring all of their forces to this battle. The celestial floors were too volatile with the quickly approaching Ancient Battlefield event coming. As a result, they couldn't displace all of the pseudo dao experts and could only send the ones they could spare.

Unfortunately for them, they could never account for an anomaly like Little Lyla. Because these pseudo dao experts were mediocre, the enigmatic qi they grasped wasn't under their full control. As a result, it didn't take much of Lyla's stamina at all to disperse it. In the end, they were forced into a battle with their former prowess as Peak Celestials.

"This can't go on like this." Alax grit his teeth. He was among the best pseudo-dao experts here, but even his enigmatic qi was scattered by Lyla, let alone that of the others.

"They seem to be pushing us back toward Sapientia City, why don't we allow them to?" Alax's companion raised an idea.

"Claire, you mean?"

"The Sapientia are under a delicate balance with the tower quadrants and have the protection of everyone. The other Clans won't stand to the side if a battle suddenly erupts in their territory. Since they're currently being the aggressors, we can take advantage of this to turn everyone against the Flaming Lily Sect and the Sacharro Clan.

"Even if they don't take the bait, that's good for us as well, because that means they'll back off and allow us to regroup."

"What good would that do?" Alax frowned. "Didn't you hear her? She wants to lay waste to the Sapientia. Even if we do this, they'll still keep attacking."

"That's likely a bluff. Who's stupid enough to make an enemy of all of the tower quadrants? There's a reason the Sapientia's spot at tenth has been protected all of this time.

"Not just this, but think about how many Clans the Sacharros have already angered. They slapped the faces of the Star and Diasho Clans just months ago. At that same time, they enraged the Emperor Giant and Hydra Clans, plus True God Titus' Fire Dragon Clan. I think you should take a look at

"Then there's the fact that even before that, True God Sacharro took all of the Enigmatic Sect's territory on the lower tiers, thoroughly falling out with them. That's already 4 top 10 quadrants that becomes 5 if we're counted, 6 if you include the Emperor Giant Clan at the 11th spot.

"If they really decide to continue attacking the Sapientia Clan, it's over for them. The Sacharro Clan won't have a place on the celestial floors anymore. We won't even need those Fiery Lotus and Flame Rebirth Sect cowards to come anymore.

"We can take advantage of the rage that's coalesced around them and push the Flaming Lily Sect out as well. Once that happens, our biggest competition in our Golden Flame Quadrant will be wiped out and our path to becoming a comet grade Clan will be clear!"

Alax's eyes shone listening to Claire's logical analysis. The arrogance of the Sacharro Clan, it would be their downfall!

"Madeleine has almost two years remaining on her territory protection. Once that time is up, even if she wins this battle and successfully retreats, there'll be nothing holding us from wiping them out. No one can survive angering so many quadrants at once!"

As for the idea that Dyon might climb up during those two years, it didn't even cross Claire's mind. She was too focused on what was "normal". Even if Dyon had the talent to climb up now, how could his Demon Generals have that talent? Without his protection on the lower tier, they'd fall victim to the same bullying they had before. As a result, Dyon would be forced to decide between coming to protect his wife and protecting his subordinates!

However, Claire and Alax could have never expected that Madeleine didn't even seem to hesitate for a moment. Within a few days, she pushed their army back again and again, relying on Damaris, Zaire and Yandevere to act as the core of their attack while the rest played supporting roles.

By the time they reached the gates of Middle Sapientia City, of the 23 pseudo dao experts that came with their army, only 6 remained. Even Claire and Alax almost lost their lives multiple times, yet Madeleine didn't look like she had fought at all... Because that was the truth! The entire time, she hadn't moved from her cross-legged position atop of Damaris' head!

BOOM!

At that moment, Zaire's roar shook Middle Sapientia City as something no one could have predicted occurred. The Sacharros had shattered the gates of the Sapientia Clan!

It was then that Primus appeared, unable to hide the confusion and surprise on his normally calm face. Had his sister's plan truly gone awry? He had been so busy dealing with the fallout of the Open Phase that he hadn't had time for anything else. By the time he realized an army was approaching him in all seriousness, he was caught completely off guard because the Sapientia Cities had never had true guards of their own! Why would they need it when they 'knew' no one would attack them.

"What have you come here for?" Primus frowned, a deep rage taking root in his heart. "Do you understand what it means to attack my Sapientia Clan?"

Madeleine's calm, violet eyes didn't so much as flicker. "Burn it all to the ground."
