Book 8: Chapter 67: Little Sister (1)
“What did you say?”
Aritzia’s delicate brows arched. It was hard to believe that such beautiful eyes could have such schemes hidden below. But, that was the reality of her existence.
Just now, an attendant had just rushed in – one of the branch members of her Sapientia Clan – to inform her of some wrinkles to her plot. Apparently, two unknown individuals had suddenly appeared to take the Celestial Door trial, and even more surprisingly, they directly ignored the lower tier to take these very trials once again for the middle tier.
Though this sort of thing was infrequent, it wasn’t too rare for it to occur. Sometimes Clans had their own trials, separate from the tower, so sometimes geniuses would go through hells of their own before returning the tower. Anak’s Emperor Giant Clan and their tattooed angel wings were just one such example of this.
These individuals would thus find the lower tier useless to them and directly enter the middle tier. Sometimes, in a rare exception, they would directly enter the higher tier.
However, this sort of usually banal information was of striking importance right now precisely because of the large undercurrents Aritzia had spurred on.
“Two individuals had astounding performances on both the lower and middle celestial door trials.”
“You’ve already said this, but you haven’t given me anything important to latch onto to.”
“Ah, yes, yes. I forgot to mention that the celestial door trial they took were of the God grade, and they received True God level results, but their names are nowhere to be found on any of the rankings. They’re complete unknowns.
“Also, reports say that they entered Agios Clan territory after completing the middle celestial door trial. Their movements were lost after that.”
“Agios Clan.” Aritzia’s brows furrowed. “The Crystal Dragon Clan again…?”
Aritzia had to admit that she was absolute shocked when it was found out that former True God Giralda had become one of Dyon’s Demon Generals. This was what told her that Dyon was definitely not someone simple to deal with. However, even taking these matters into account, she still took action because she was confident in herself.
This wasn’t blind faith. Aritzia understood how dragons operated. With the exception of the True God Titus anomaly, Dragons didn’t fight in groups. Even their city territories were the product of geniuses of their clans fighting off on their own. So, Aritzia hadn’t been worried about the Agios Clan.
What more proof did she need than the fact even the Agios Clan pronounced Giralda dead and gave her successorship to her younger sister? Giralda hadn’t even bothered to tell her clan members she had married and found a husband. This matter only boosted Aritzia’s confidence.
But, she felt this odd itching in the back of her mind… That same instinct that she always believed in was creeping back up once again.
“Quickly, get me the videos of their trials.”
The attendant squirmed awkwardly, not knowing how to break the rest of the news to Aritzia.
“What’s the matter?” Aritzia frowned.
“We aren’t sure what happened, but many of the videos sent in to the SNN came back blank. We could see some faint energy fluctuations, but it was as though the individuals themselves were edited out.”
Aritzia stood slowly, a pensive expression on her face.
“Empress Aritzia… Should we…?” The attendant probed, playing with his sleeves timidly.
“You did well to report this to me despite the lack of solid connection. At these moments, every small piece of information is valuable.
“There were reports of a golden dragon in Soul Clan territory, but it somehow disappeared after massive fluctuations of soul qi ravaged one of their outer universes.
“Reports on Middle Lily City show that Madeleine has somehow hung on even to now.
“I’ve yet to receive any other reports from Water Mist Quadrant after their Grand Elder allowed Alexandria and Jaws to escape.
“My attempts to delve into the secrets of the 99th Quadrant have been stifled, and I can’t find any individuals capable of using the teleportation formations to the 56th Quadrant.
“I’ve captured Virvor, yet he refuses to say anything even after being crippled.
“Somehow there is still no word from True God Sacharro or his Demon Generals.
“And now two new variables have appeared… No, definitely three.”
Maybe if it was someone else facing these challenges, they would be frustrated. But, Aritzia’s smile only grew wider and wider with each passing challenge she listed.
Suddenly, she turned to the attendant. “Don’t be foolish. No, we shouldn’t. The depth of the Sapientia Clan must forever remain a mystery to everyone. Our reserves mustn’t be tapped into even for something seemingly this important. Instead, here’s what we’ll do.
“The matters with the Water Mist Quadrant have already been set, leave them alone. Even losing won’t be too big of a deal. I only want to use BPA to confirm something.
“As for the middle tier… You sent me a report that Yandevere still hasn’t shown up, correct? If she ever does, don’t hesitate. Kill her when her guard is the lowest. Even if the percentage chance of her defecting is low, I don’t like variables.
“Up to now, we’ve only mobilized the Golden Crow Sect… Light a fire under the Fiery Lotus and Flame Rebirth Clans. Remind them of who killed their top celestial geniuses. Even if Madeleine has somehow found a way to expel all traitors, that just means the Flaming Lily Sect disciple count is exceptionally low. So… Give them more enemies to contend against with those pitiful number.
“Finally, when the time is right… Leak our movements to Diasho Ken.”
