The Almighty Dragon General

Chapter 1396
“The Sect Leader of the Celestial Sect?”
James momentarily froze before turning around and staring at Thea’s retreating figure. Furrowing his eyebrows, he murmured,
“She’s the Sect Leader of the Celestial Sect?”
He did not think much about it.
Then, he turned and looked at Lucjan, who seemed to be in high spirits. His hair was no longer white, and he seemed to look
much younger.
Wearing a solemn expression, he muttered silently under his breath, “Looks like Lucjan has completely refined and absorbed the
Spirit Turtle’s core. Before that, he was already an eighth-rank grandmaster. Who knows which Skyward Stairway stair he’s
ascended?”
After momentarily freezing, James recollected himself and looked at Lucjan, saying coldly, “I heard I was pursued by your men
after being knocked unconscious by Yaakov Johnston.”
“Is that so...? Did that happen?” Lucjan looked at his subordinates.
They immediately shook their heads.
Lucjan said smilingly, “James, don’t allow an individual’s accusations to sow discord between us. Why would I do such a thing to
you when I admire you so? Although we’re currently on opposing sides, I believe that there’s no such thing as permanent
enemies, only permanent interests.”
“Hmph!”
James grunted. Without saying anything else, he turned to leave.
After he left, Lucjan’s face darkened, and he said coldly, “Since you’re unwilling to become my tool, only death awaits you.”
James left and began ascending the mountain.
Lucjan’s appearance was as he had expected.

Lucjan’s looks made him realize that he was now a terrifying force to be reckoned with. Perhaps he had reached the level Callan
was at during the Mount Thunder Conference-the second stair of the Skyward Stairway.
“Let’s hope that there won’t be many Solean martial artists here. Otherwise, the conference will descend into chaos.”
James sighed deeply.
Mount Olympus was high. Standing at 13,000 meters above sea level, it was the third-highest mountain in the world.
James ascended the mountain.
The temperature was low, and the mountain was snow-capped all year long.
At the summit, many gathered. They each found their own spot and sat in a lotus position on the floor, waiting for the
commencement of the conference.
James found a rock. With a wave of his hand, the snow on the rock dissolved in an instant. As he took a seat, he pulled out a
cigarette and catalyzed True Energy, which materialized into a ball of flames.
Smoking his cigarette, he scanned his surroundings. He could not recognize anyone here.
He gazed at the individual wearing the hideous-looking mask, the person claimed by Lucjan to be the Sect Leader of the
Celestial Sect.
James had heard of the Celestial Sect. It was a sect that only emerged recently. Despite its recent emergence, it developed
rapidly. In just two months, it had swept through the ancient martial world.
“Who’s the Sect Leader of the Celestial Sect?”
Looking at Thea, James stroked his chin and speculated. However, no matter how hard he tried, he could not figure out Thea’s
identity. Hence, he waited patiently.
More people gathered at the summit. Almost all of them were from overseas, and only a few Solean ancient martial artists could
be seen. Only the Sect Leader of the Celestial Sect, Lucjan Owen, and a few martial artists from the Gu Sect were present.
Apart from them, James could find no other Solean martial artist.

Time passed, and more people arrived.
Thousands surrounded an empty plot of land at the summit. In the silence of the night, the atmosphere was tense. As daybreak
came, the sun rose.
