Chapter 2291 - Need (3) (1/2)
”What makes you think our Golden Crow Sect won't rise again?”
”Is that a joke?” Kaori replied to the Goldeen Supreme. ”Not only has the Mortal Empire grown far beyond your control, but even if they were to collapse during the second phase… Don't you have another enemy to deal with?”
The elders froze.
”I was wondering. Why is such a powerful Sect, with four Supremes at that, hiding like a field of mice?
”You feign to the outside world that your best genius is a mere Eighth Order Celestial who's even died already. You share your quadrant with three Sects far below your strength. And even now, you skulk in the shadows, too scared to take even a single step outside.”
”Don't go too far with your words, boy.”
”I'm not going too far. I'm only stating the facts.
”What I find even more interesting is that everything seemed to change after the Golden Flame Mystical World opened. To think that a mighty Sect like yours would hardly care about the death of the God level genius. The world hardly heard a peep about it.
”Despite the fact everyone was aware that Emperor Sacharro was the one to take his life, you all actually did nothing to retaliate.
”Of course, someone who was far more foolish might believe your inaction to be due to the fact Emperor Sacharro had a Higher Existence backing him, but this is something only the masses would accept. Anyone who had even an inkling of knowledge was aware that many of the top ten Tower Quadrants had Higher Existences among them, albeit the weakest of Higher Existences…
”For the death of your supposed best genius, the Golden Crow Sect's reaction was far too lukewarm.
”So… I became quite interested. The Mortal Library became quite a useful tool for me, actually. Just what were the origins of the Golden Flame Mystical World, what of your Golden Crow Sect's origins?
”You clearly didn't like the Sacharros as you chose not to join their Empire, but you still didn't act against them either, isn't that too pitiful?
”Even when your plans hinged on the success of the Golden Flame Mystical World's mission, you still didn't dare send out your best geniuses for fear of being discovered.
”Who knew that I would stumble upon the legends of the Golden Crow… of a stolen flame… of two fugitive clans…?”
The atmosphere grew colder and colder, but Kaori didn't seem to notice.
