The Almighty Dragon General

Chapter 6995
"Surprise, surprise!" Lesia announced.
James curled his lips as he took in the shocked expression on Xanthakos' face. "Do you still want to keep up with the act?"
Beside him, Lesia smiled enigmatically as well.
"You!" Xanthakos glared at Lesia. "Alas, you decided to complicate things! There I was thinking you'd be smarter than this!"
Lesia replied flatly, "On the other hand, it was exactly because you were so clever that you were blinded by greed."
Xanthakos threw his head back and laughed scornfully upon hearing her words. As the cynical smile on his face disappeared, Xanthakos stopped laughing and asked, "Frona, didn't those incidents happen just as I told James earlier? "Without my help, could a mere human like him ever be able to amount to what he is now?"
Lesia sighed and looked at James. "Do you believe the things he said?" James shrugged. "He was telling the truth. I didn't detect any signs of illusion during our conversation. So, I think his statement isn't false."
"His statement is not false." Lesia nodded. "However, it is still highly questionable."
"I see," James responded enthusiastically.
On the contrary, Xanthakos' face hardened. "Whether it was as Emperor Jabari or Franciscus Yuelan, this guy did help you with many things."
Lesia went on to explain, "However, his true intentions are to prepare you so that he can use you to achieve his goals."
Lesia's gaze fell on James again. "In other words, you are just one of his pawns. "Everything he did so far was to create the impression that you might be the late Waitara Path's Soremsia.
"Your status as a Chosen One was the result of his constant effort in making the divine beings become convinced that you might be the Waitara Path's reincarnation.
"When the time comes, he can reveal all the things he has done for you and claim to be your benefactor. Moreover, he knows that the Yin governor is your biggest weakness.
"With all those factors combined, he could then pressure you into helping him reign over all worlds for as long as he wanted."
'That's a brilliant plan." James gave an approving nod. "How come he changed his plans later on, though? Why instruct Yehria to disrupt my plans time and time again?"
Then, James cast a meaningful glance at Xanthakos.
Xanthakos was having a hard time controlling his expression after being exposed by Lesia. He appeared furious and flustered. 'There were changes to his plans because of my appearance."
Lesia gave Xanthakos a sidelong glance. "Of course, Yehria's arrogance and recklessness have also ruined some of his plans. Remember the Forladtt Land? That place was the last of the fortunes intended for you in his attempt to control you.
"However, he didn't expect that you would actually succeed in gaining control of Emperor Yarden's Yonderverse Tower and becoming the lord of
the Forladtt Land.
"Even Xanthakos was shocked by these occurrences. He could not tell if you were just a nobody or truly the Waitara Path's reincarnation. If you happened to be the real deal, he would be doomed."
All of it made sense to James now after listening to Lesia's explanation.
Back at the Forladtt Land's fourth level, the pair of mysterious cultivators gave
him the Yonderverse Tower before they left.
After that, James used the Yonderverse Tower's powers during his first battle with
the Yang governor, who was already a Xaeclon Rank cultivator.
It infuriated Yehria when James defeated the Yang governor by wielding the
Forladtt Land's mysterious power.
Since then, it had been rough for James no matter what he was doing. There
were even multiple times when his life was in jeopardy.
It turned out all the hardships he went through were a form of test and
oppression from Xanthakos, who had grown suspicious of him.
"Frona!" Xanthakos yelled furiously, "In the eyes of the Caeloros Gods, do you all only see those from the Haleth Realm as cunning and manipulative beings? "Have you forgotten? After the Waitara Path succeeded in mastering the human form, I was the first living being to become a follower of the Supreme Path! "After the cultivation ranks were set, I was also the first living being to achieve the Daeclon Mahayana Rank! Moreover, I've contributed the most to the founding of Zymurgy!
"When the unorthodox sects and factions refused to obey the Supreme Path's teachings, I led eighty-one superior living being cultivators, defeated those men,
and sealed them up.
"Morgott tried to conquer Zymurgy and challenged the Waitara Path's authority. I was the one who defeated him and removed a great threat to our peace!" The veins on Xanthakos' forehead popped. He fumed, "Yet, what did I get in return for my loyalty? I was an object of scorn and ridicule to the Alcide beings. I wasn't allowed to rise higher in position despite everything I did.
"No matter how talented and loyal I was to the Supreme Path, I was always below those Alcide beings! How is that fair? Is that how the Dernaturae should be?"
Lesia smirked. "After experiencing all that unfair treatment, you released your frustration by repeating what they did to you to the other living beings instead? Is that fair, though?"
"I did all those things for his sake!" Xanthakos pointed to James. "I was only trying to help him rise to the position of the Supreme Path!"
"No. You did those things for your own benefit," Lesia responded calmly," It's because you know what kind of consequences you and your men will be facing once the Waitara Path's reincarnated Soremsia returns here." Xanthakos was once again enraged at Lesia's impertinence. "Are you and the other Caeloros Gods really that upright and benevolent?! Didn't the Waitara Path leave because the Nine Caeloros Gods made changes to his teachings? "If he had been around, we, the Five Path Emperors, wouldn't have been able to do anything in the first place!"
Xanthakos bellowed, "It was all your fault! The Caeloros Gods are the ones
responsible for everything that has happened!"
Lesia grinned mysteriously.
On the other hand, James narrowed his eyes. He had heard of a narration similar
to what Xanthakos just shared from Lesia and Emperor Yarden previously.
It was back when he got to the Void World with the help of the Taishi Divine Light.
Sadly, James still had many questions swirling in his head even after listening to Xanthakos' arguments.
