Even if they suspected the Sacharro Clan was involved, they simply had no proof. Plus, many of those who died had been completely innocent, and some of them were even clearly against their Golden Crow Sect.
On top of all of this, they had seen videos of the Banshee Goddess themselves. This woman was the pure embodiment of absolute evil. Such a being could not be controlled and would act as it pleased. It had definitely long since lost its mind…
Everything pointed toward the Golden Crow Sect being incredibly unlucky. But this lack of luck wasn't something the Goldeen Clan Head could swallow. Though the Crow Clan Head was far calmer, the former felt like destroying everything in sight.
"Sacharro Clan! I don't care whether or not you're involved in all of this! You will forever by the enemy of my Golden Crow Sect from this day forth!"
As for whether or not Dyon was truly involved, of course he was. And as for who this Banshee Goddess was, it was none other than Palace Master Jasmine.
The Golden Crow Sect upper echelon believed that such an evil being couldn't be controlled, but they were only partially correct.
An evil cultivator who was born artificially would lose their minds and self-control. However, Jasmine was birthed naturally by the will of the heavens. Though she wouldn't be able to control her impulses very much either, her mind was still very much clear.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter all these years, Dyon still didn't have a perfect answer or rebuttal for Jasmine's existence. But, he had made peace with her existence.
Of course, she was a great trump card for him as her strength had increased drastically over the past over decade. However, she could only be used sparingly and only in niche situations like this one. If her existence was ever truly tied back to the Sacharro Clan, it would bring too many problems.
The so-called massacre of the Flaming Lily Sect truly happened as well. Jasmine needed to commit evil deeds for her cultivation to progress. The more vengeful aura she gathered, the quicker her strength would grow. So, Dyon set her loose on the Flaming Lily Sect.
Still, Dyon wasn't a madman. He wouldn't truly kill those who were innocent. Instead, those 'deaths' were actually a product of Ri's Celestial Kun Peng illusion abilities.
It was impossible to fake a recorded video in the martial world as it would require a perfect understanding of every law in existence. But, doctoring a video to fool dao experts and fooling the eyes of weak cultivators were two completely different things.
The videos that spread of the Banshee Goddess were very much real. However, the proof of death of innocents were strictly spread by word of mouth and eyewitness accounts. As for the videos of slaughtering that was seen, those were strictly of traitors!
In Dyon's mind, if you were willing to betray a Sect that raised you for some small benefits, your mere death was already too good of a fate. He had no qualms about allowing Jasmine to rampage.
Since Dyon had decided to bide his time and silently plan, how could the Golden Crow Sect ever hope of defeating him in a battle of wit? Never mind the fact they didn't even know they had had an opponent to begin with.
Several years ago, when Dyon sent Yandevere back to the Flaming Lily Sect, it was precisely to dig up the tails of every traitor. After he awakened his Immortal Sense, this task became even easier.
Though Madeleine, Yandevere and Sabona only managed to claim 34 universes, this was more than enough for Dyon's next plans.
He could feel it very clearly. The Mist Clan. The Golden Crow Sect. The Beast Protection Association. The Sprite Clans. They were all ticking time bombs of the Tower Quadrants he already saw as his own territory.
They needed to be weeded out.

"I really didn't glean much." Madeleine said honestly. "God Amora didn't act out of the ordinary in any way. In fact, other than seeming a bit lackadaisical compared to every else's fervent approach, there was nothing off about her."
Madeleine had spent 12 years under God Amora, trying to see if Dyon's intuition was right about the oddity of the Pegasus Clan. But in the end, she got nothing out of it.
It was a bit lamentable. Had Madeleine been placed with a better group suited toward allowing her to reveal her strength, she would have reclaimed more than just 34 universes. However, she didn't complain for the sake of the bigger picture.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmPlus, if they pressure the Golden Crow Sect too much, it would have adverse effects. This was just the right amount to allow their attack and seamless retreat.
Dyon, who had just come back from fusing with Hell's Right Eye, nodded a bit solemnly.
"God Amora was the only non True or False True God nominated to lead. I just can't tell if this is because the Star Clan is wary of the Pegasus Clan and know something we don't or if it's something else…"
Dyon's best option would have been to make use of Little Lyla to find out. But he wanted to protect his little sister, not thrust her into dangerous situations. In the end, Madeleine was still far stronger that Little Lyla in terms of combat.
The truth of the matter was that Jade's notes said nothing about the Pegasus Clan. From start to finish, they weren't mentioned even once. It was just too weird.
'In truth, even if Big Sis Madeleine did see something weird, she probably would have forgotten about it.' Little Yang said casually.
If a gaze could kill, maybe Little Yang would have already lost his life.
"And you decided to tell me this only now because?"
'Well, it isn't as if you talked to us first before you allocated her spot. In fact, if I recall correctly, you did it on a whim. It was already too late to change anything, what was the point in telling you?'
