The Almighty Dragon General

Chapter 2005
No one believed James was still alive. They thought his message was a prank.
[What kind of sick joke is this?]
[Enter Mount Bane as we please? Finders keepers? Hasn’t this guy heard of the Overworld?]
[This must be the Overworld’s doing. They must be bored and wanted to lure us over there.]
Many interacted on the forum.
After posting the message, James did not immediately leave but instead stayed to observe their reactions.
Seeing that no one believed him, he scratched his nose.
Then, he posted another message.
[I am James Caden of Wyrmstead. I am still alive, and I have returned. On Mount Bane, I annihilated Matias Judah, the man who
slaughtered dozens from the state of Japura and fought against many Overworld Outsiders.]
[I fought Xain Judah, Samarth Carter, Wynter Freya, Yandel Harlow, and Leandro Xamir to a standstill alone, thereby earning the
right to enter negotiations with them. In the end, I managed to obtain many benefits for us all.]
James briefly described the situation on the forum.
The message dropped like a bombshell. In just a few minutes, many commented on his post. However, most of them indicated
their disbelief.
Seeing that no one believed his words, James could not help but sigh. Then, he simply ignored the whole matter altogether. After
all, he had tried his best.
“Mother.” James looked at Xandra.
Xandra was sitting on a rock while supporting her chin with her arm. Looking at James, she flicked at his forehead and said with
a smile, “Your father’s a good-for-nothing, but you turned out to be a wonderful man.”
“Indeed, my father’s a good-for-nothing.”

James did not deny that.
“Is something the matter?’ Xandra asked.
James asked, “I heard from Grandfather and Uncle that you’ll be demonized after using True Energy?”
“Mhm.” Xandra nodded and said, “It’s due to the Phoenix blood inside my body. Although it brought me great strength, my blood
will churn once I catalyze True Energy. When that happens, I’ll slowly lose consciousness. However, after cultivating Ataraxia,
my condition has improved. Now, I’m able to suppress the Demonic Energy inside.”
Hearing this, James furrowed his eyebrows.
Suppress?
No way.
It was specifically designed by the enemy to get rid of the most distinguished fighters on Earth. The custodian told him that it
could only be suppressed because one had yet to grow powerful enough. Once
one reached a certain strength, the Demonic Energy inside one’s body would lose control, and the individual would experience
Energy Deviation after failing to suppress it. The custodian also told James he could bring people like Thea to the Chamber of
Scriptures to purity their Demonic Energy.
“Mother, your condition is worrying. You’re experiencing the same things as Thea did back then. You’ll be in mortal danger if this
continues. I know someone who can purify Demonic Energy. Once everything here’s resolved, I’ll bring you there to purify your
Demonic Energy. Thea is also there at the moment,” James said
“Mhm.” Xandra nodded. She had complete trust in James. There was no way James would ever harm her.
James looked at her and said, smiling. “Mother, this only happened because you’re a genius who possesses the Supreme
Spiritual Root. Someone like you is able to cultivate anything in a short amount of time. You’re the hope of humanity.”
“Pfft!” Xandra could not control her laughter. “I’m not as impressive as you say.”
“I’m speaking the truth,” James said seriously. “Only those who can experience Energy Deviation after consuming the blood of
the Four Holy Beasts are true geniuses.”

“Alright, I believe in you.”
Xandra did not argue with James.
Then, they began discussing current affairs, the Four Holy Beasts, and the enemy’s conspiracy.
