Book 8: Chapter 149: Easy Win (2)
Enigmatic Sect wasn’t built within mountains like Soul Rending Peak, or islands like the Water Mist Sect, or even volcanic rock like the Flaming Lily Sect. Instead, its structure was about as simplistic and cozy as Enigmatic City was. Maybe the only thing that told you that this place had the esteemed title of 7th Ranked Quadrant were its tall walls, but even they were dirtied with mud and endless vines. It seemed the Sect Head was quite a carefree person.
However, as one might expect, Dyon and Amphorae didn’t make it very far before their footsteps were interrupted.
All along the road to Enigmatic Sect, they were the subject of numerous stares. But, when they made it to the old, vine ridden gates of the Enigmatic Sect, they were greeted with an entourage of individuals.
There weren’t many of them, less than half a dozen. But, they exuded a power and strength beyond what one might expect from a seemingly carefree Sect.
Those planning on entering the Sect suddenly slowed their footsteps… It seemed there might be a good show to watch today.
An older gentleman stepped forward. “I am the Fifth Elder of our Enigmatic Sect, might I ask why True God Sacharro has come to visit us today?”
In truth, the older man wanted to address Amphorae as well, but he simply didn’t know her name. Though he guessed her relationship with Dyon wasn’t normal, it was best to not say anything at all. After all, according to the martial world, Madeleine was Dyon’s first wife, he didn’t want to accidentally offend Amphorae by drudging up any hidden dissatisfaction she might have. So, silence was his best option.
Dyon smiled. This old man didn’t seem hostile, in fact, this was probably why he was sent instead of another elder. He likely handled their diplomatic affairs usually.
“I haven’t come for anything too important, Fifth Elder. I only came to take in some sights with my wife and visit a friend who happens to be a disciple of your Sect. Any animosity we had in the past has already been forgotten by me. I’m not so petty as to continue something that can be concluded.”
Those listening felt their lips twitch. Maybe today Dyon would gain a new moniker for his Shamelessness. He took away a large portion of the Enigmatic Sect’s revenue on the celestial floors, yet he now wanted to let bygones be bygones as though he was being the bigger person.
If it had been any other Sect, the blow Dyon dealt them would have been devastating. Luckily, the Enigmatic Sect made far more money from tourism, so the loss of their lower tier territory wasn’t the end of the world. Also, they had given Malthor the task of claiming new lands, something he had spent that last several months working on. After he was healed of his injuries, of course.
Amphorae smiled lightly, seemingly finding this side of Dyon funny.
“Ah, a friend. If that’s the case, then please. My old bones can still escort you. Please don’t take offense, no Sect can simply allow dao experts to enter without a bit of fanfare.”
Dyon’s lip gently curled. It seemed they were intent on monitoring him. Though, he didn’t blame them. The power Amphorae had displayed was otherworldly. There was no guarantee the Sect could handle her easily if she were to unleash.
Though, he appreciated the old man’s candor. At least he wasn’t hiding his intentions.
As the group entered the gates, the mumbling of the crowd intensified. Their topic of choice? The appearance of a second Sacharro wife!
Now they truly felt the rumors might be possible. Was there a chance that Clara was Dyon’s wife as well? Or was she simply a member of the Sacharro Clan by birth? The martial world was truly becoming invested in this Sacharro Clan.
“Which friend does True God Sacharro want to see? This old man can lead the way.”
“Hm. I’m not sure of her disciple rank, but her name is Lilith. And, she should have a fiancé by the name of Sokzac.”
The Fifth Elder was fully prepared to send one of the individuals who had followed him to greet Dyon to find out who Dyon’s friend was. But, he was actually shocked to realize that he actually recognized the names Dyon said!
It was no wonder he was surprised. How could he, as an esteemed elder of such a high-ranking Sect, know the name of any and every disciple? Though he had a faint feeling that no one Dyon wanted to meet could be normal, he still didn’t expect the case to be this abnormal.
Lilith was a name that made him sigh with regret. She was such a genius, to the point where she caught the eye of numerous elders, but for some reason, she was unable to break into the celestial realm.
Yet, this wasn’t the most shocking part. Not only could she not break into the celestial realm, she couldn’t even sense Celestial Qi! That was right, Lilith wasn’t even a pseudo-celestial, she was still a 12th stage saint!
One might wonder then why a Fifth Elder would still believe her to be a genius. How could one be a genius if you couldn’t even comprehend celestial qi?
This was where the shocking reality of Lilith came into being. Despite not entering the celestial realm, her abilities were absolutely shocking. It was to the point where the carefree and normally impossible to find Sect Head wanted to take her in as his God Daughter despite already having numerous children of his own, including Malthor.
