"They are quite shameless, though." Clara said with an amused expression. "They allowed big sister Amphorae to become an Army Chief, but didn't allow the same for Madeleine. Their reasoning is so obvious that it isn't even hidden anymore."

Dyon smiled. "It's better this way. We'll give them a nice surprise in a moment."

Seeing Dyon descend late with so many beauties by his side, though those who were far from him in stature looked on in admiration, those who deemed themselves to be his equals clenched their fists.

True God Star looked on with an apathetic expression. He was among the few who didn't seem to care. After all, he currently had his own three beautiful wives by his side, including Empress Aspirant Cativa. His two elder wives were too old to participate, but they were still great talents in their own right.

True God Diasho Ren, however, couldn't remove his burning gaze from Amphorae. It was to the point where Dyon, who had senses sharper than anyone here, couldn't help but frown.

Madeleine squeezed his hand gently. "You've already vented enough frustration for one day, we can't push it any further or else it'll have the opposite effect."

Dyon turned his gaze toward Madeleine beautiful side profile before sighing. He knew that she was right. If the Sacharro Clan was too overbearing, even if he was in the right, it would be a problem. They had to strike a proper balance.

"You're right…" He muttered. "… I'll let him live for a little while longer."

"Please come up one by one. State your affiliation and receive a wrist band. This wrist band will track your progress and tally your points. In addition, it acts as a life saving mechanism. By activating this feature, the elders of our Federation who are on standby will be able to teleport to your location to save you.

"Be mindful of your use, though. These wrist bands are expensive to manufacture and its life saving mechanism can only be used once. In order to receive another, you'll have to have enough points to exchange."

A Blade Clan elder took over Emperor Star's role for these proceedings. He had a sharp aura, as one would expect from a man of such lineage, but he seemed reserved at the same time.

Like this, he began to call youths forth one by one.

Soon…

"Ah, you are… Alright, here you go, I've slotted in your affiliation to the Sacharro Clan."

"Sorry, I'd like to tie my affiliation to the Flaming Lily Sect." The youth responded, not accepting the wrist band.

Who else could this youth be if not Madeleine? When it was her turn to receive a wrist band, others may have assumed her affiliation, but her words clearly said she had no such intention.

"This…"

"Is there a problem? I am a Legatee of the Flaming Lily Sect. My Sacharro Clan isn't in absolute need of me, so I should repay the senior sisters that helped me reach this stage."

It was simply too difficult to get mad at Madeleine. Even if her actions now were nothing short of declaring war on the Golden Crow Sect, the small smile on her otherworldly features deflated all the hate in one's heart.

"It isn't that this isn't allowed… But the Flaming Lily Sect wasn't present at the first Parliament Meeting, as such their name is among our allies…"

Madeleine frowned slightly. "That's impossible. The Flaming Lily Sect most definitely sent experts to respond to your invitation. When I exited the Golden Flame Mystical World with my husband, they were already gone."

Madeleine looked around with innocent eyes before her gaze lit up after landing on a few figures.

"See, right over there." Madeleine said with a sweet smile. "There are our Sect's Seventh, Fourth, Second and First Elders. How could you say we didn't show up? Has the Star Clan made a mistake?"

The faces of the four women pointed out by Madeleine immediately crumpled. Unfortunately, no one could see their ugly expressions because they all hid behind masks, believing that they had escaped detection.

And why would they be trying to escape such a thing? The answer was obvious when one realized they were standing amid Golden Crow Sect elders and disciples!

Everyone looked toward Madeleine's innocent expression with a cold sweat permeating their backs. They didn't believe for a second that Madeleine didn't understand that these four were traitors to her Sect, yet she so happily called out to them even while they wore masks.

But, if one looked closely, one could see the sorrow and rage in her reflective violet eyes. Since these four were here… It meant that the others that went with them had died… Including the Palace Master of their Sect.

'… You took care of me well for all those years… Allow this disciple to revenge your death…'

...

"…" The organizer elder sighed. "… Are you sure about this? The Flaming Lily Sect will only have you now. Even if you do this, there isn't much you can accomplish alone."

"Alone? I won't be alone. How could I be alone when I have Big Sister Yandevere and Little Sister Serbona with me?"

Out from amidst the Sacharro Clan disciples, two women lightly stepped to the forefront.

On the right, there was a petite little girl wearing valiant red-gold armor with a massive hammer three times the size of her small body over her shoulder.

On the left, there was a beauty with cold grey eyes and long brunette hair. In recent years, Yandevere had allowed her hair to grow, it was now so long that it disappeared into the folds of her black dress as it glided across the ground.

Third Legatee Serbona Malleus: Middle Celestial Realm!

Second Legatee Madeleine Sacharro: Peak Celestial Realm!

First Legatee Yandevere Estona: Lower Dao Formation Realm!

The elders of the Golden Crow Sect felt their eyes narrow upon seeing Yandevere's appearance. One of them began muttering something that sounded like an incantation under their breath, but was soon stunned silent.

Somehow, Yandevere had broken free of their control!
