"Is there a point to all of this?" Alax, who still had a lingering fear in his eye for Lyla, looked toward the gathering army of Flaming Lily Sect disciples with a doubtful gaze. "Mistress Sacharro. We are willing to let you go as long as you abandon the Flaming Lily Sect. We do not want to make enemies of the Sacharro Clan."

It was clear that the Golden Crow Sect's attitude had taken a complete 180. Too many things their informer hadn't mentioned a word about were happening one after another. They began to doubt the legitimacy of the information and if True God Sacharro would really be so easily dealt with. As such, the elders of the Golden Crow Sect decided to take on a new approach.

Unfortunately for him, the only response he received in return was a single word.

"Attack!" Madeleine's delicate voice spread over the battlefield.

As one might expect, though cultivators were far better at retaining information than mortals, it still wasn't possible to ingrain military tactics into their minds in such a short time. As such, Madeleine kept it simple.

After rearranging the disciples by pavilion, she formed them up into squads of five. These squads contained two layered vine disciples, one life blooming disciple, one falling petal disciple and one rooted depths disciple.

The primary focus of Madeleine was defense and healing. As such, she ensured every squad of 5 had two defensive specialists and one healing specialist. The falling petal disciple then handled ranged combat, while the rooted depths disciple was the main berserker and fire power.

These squads were then arranged as follows. The two layered vine defensive specialists would take the vanguard and the life blooming healer would be paired with the ranged falling petal disciple in the squad's backline. Finally, the rooted depths disciple would have the most freedom, relying on the support of the layered vine disciples to supplement their attack power.

Madeleine only had three rules for them. The first was that no disciple could advance more than 50 meters ahead of her position in the air. Secondly, any deserters would be personally killed by Madeleine and her squad. And thirdly, should one of your squad members fall, immediately retreat to the backline and wait for further orders.

The Golden Crow Sect had never seen such a thing in their lives. They had been fully prepared to crush the Flaming Lily Sect with their sheer numbers, but they suddenly realized that they couldn't find individual fights like they were used to.

In the beginning, they were sneering, believing their former fellow disciples to be foolish to fight for such an unworthy cause. But, in the next instant, the screams and bloody gore of the battlefield infiltrated their lives, reaping them one after another before they could realize what happened.

"What's happening?!" Alax roared. "Aren't we pincering them from three sides?!"

Neither Alax nor his fellow disciple sister could understand what was happening. Madeleine left from the eastern gate of the city, causing the Golden Crow Sect disciples to swarm. From once surrounding the city, many of them left their posts to surround the large east gate.

"Why is my qi gathering so slow!" A disciple's last words roared out in frustration as she fell to the flame arrow of a falling petal pavilion disciple.

In the skies, Madeleine wasn't in the mood to smile. Wisps of golden fog seemed to waft from her time to time, giving her an otherworldly feel.

Something snapped just a few days ago. When she entered that state of being able to manipulate all energies, it seemed that her base form also gained a massive upgrade. Her ability to supplement her strength with atmospheric qi skyrocketed to levels that made her shiver. Who said that Goddess' Disposition was purely an auxiliary constitution?

One's meridian talent was directly proportional to the area of atmospheric qi you could call upon. That said, there were many other things that could supplement this as well. For example, Dyon's divine sense, due to being perfectly fused with his Presence, could theoretically force 500 000km of atmospheric qi to bend to his whims. The issue was that even with deity grade meridians, he wouldn't be able to control that much qi so he never did it.

However, Madeleine was different. Though her Presence wasn't fused into every aspect of her being, her ability to control qi, even with meridians that weren't as good as Dyon's, far surpassed him due to her constitution!

A genius celestial might be able to call upon and perfectly control a 10 meter radius of atmospheric qi. True Gods were a bit better than this, but not as much as you might expect. Not more than 20 meters.

But… Madeleine felt that she had more than 100 meters at her beck and call, even 200 wasn't impossible if she took her time. Maybe the most shocking part was that she seemed to have priority over this qi.

With Madeleine standing in the skies above the front line, she could stifle the qi of their enemies while supplementing her allies, making their call for atmospheric qi far easier.

This had an eerie resemblance to something Dyon had experienced once before. Back during his second trial, Dyon created a formation relying on the Energy Core and the Angel Clan's spiritual vein to tap into and use dao abyssal cores to defeat his enemies. Initially, he expected it to be a massive strain on his mind, but at that moment, Luna suddenly appeared and made it as easy as drinking water.

A similar event was playing out here, unbeknownst to Madeleine. And what scared her the most wasn't the ability itself… It was how easy it was to execute!

"Do you think it's time yet, big sister?" Lyla asked, watching as Yandevere incinerated every disciple that attempted to capture her and Madeleine.

"Not yet." Madeleine said faintly. "Once we can't claim anymore lives with our tactic advantage, that's when we'll activate the formation and shoot them down from the skies."
