The Almighty Dragon General

"You know who the Yaquis Sect's young master is, right?" James grinned sinisterly.
"I caught him. I wanted to get revenge since he tried to assassinate me previously. Surprisingly, that idiot was so scared of dying
that he told me all those secrets!"
The elderly cultivator had a look of bewilderment on his face. "You caught Nando?! Where is he now?"
"He got away." James shrugged. "After I caught Nando, I found out from him about the Yaquis Sect's three secret realms that
held their training resources.
"I kept him confined in a cave and left to destroy those three secret realms first. However, Nando was gone by the time I
returned. Ha... I should've just eliminated him."
The elderly cultivator grinned broadly. "That's Yaquis Holiness' son we're talking about. If you killed him, even the Timaeus Sect
might not be able to protect you from Yaquis Holiness' wrath."
James shrugged again. "With Timaeus Sect's power and influence, do we need to fearYaquis Sect's retaliation?"
The elderly man let out a hearty laugh. "What if we decide to hand you over to the Yaquis Sect to appease their anger?"
"Is that even possible?" James gave the elderly man a sideways glance. "Would Yaquis Holiness change his mind to replace the
Timaeus Sect and make Yaquis Sect the number-one group just because you surrendered me, a Yuraeceon Xaelm Rank
cultivator, to him? That's so far-fetched."
The elderly cultivator slowly nodded and got up. "You're bright and fearless. It seems the Timaeus Sect is about to see the birth
of an amazing cultivator.

"I've gained a lot from our chat, young man."
Then, the elderly cultivator turned around and headed for the door.
"Mister, what will be my punishment?" James stood up and asked.
The elderly cultivator glanced over his shoulder and snickered, "Just calm down and stay here for the time being. Mr. Thornton
will make a fair judgment."
After saying that, the elderly cultivator stepped out of the room and closed the door behind him.
An enigmatic smile played across James' face. Then, the man plopped down on his seat again.
Meanwhile, the elderly cultivator had only walked several meters away from the hall when Lyla materialized before him.
"Mr. Thornton, what did he say?"
"He's an interesting, young lad." Xachary continued walking with his hands on his back. "Make sure that he gets enough rest
here and prepare the necessary training resources for him. I wish to see him achieve the Yuraeceon Xaelm Rank's Seventh
Tribulation before going for the Forladtt Trial." Lyla seemed completely confused.
She never thought that Xachary would have a change of heart after meeting James.
Xachary directed his gaze at Lyla. "Don't give him a hard time, Lyla. Be patient. He might take off at any moment. You are to take
responsibility if that happens."
"Mr. Thornton, isn't he an enemy from the Dark..."

"He's an elder from the Timaeus Sect's Mount Martialis." Xachary interrupted Lyla.
His expression hardened. "He is also the strongest and the most talented Timaeus Sect member among his peers."
Lyla nodded despite feeling indignant. "Rest assured, Mr. Thornton. He won't be able to escape from my formation."
"Is the formation cast around the Timaeus Sect weaker than your formation?" Xachary gazed at Lyla. "Still, that man comes and
goes as he likes since before."
Lyla was rendered speechless.
"Keep a close eye on him. If he gets away, you die." Xachary teleported away after warning her.
Lyla balled her fists. She was seething inside.
She was certain that James was up to no good judging by how he always tried to get closer to Thea.
