Since assuming control of the affairs across the Greater Realms, Xanthakos favored those who were among the first to enter Zymurgy. Of course, some Alcide beings ingratiated themselves with him, pledging their loyalty.
“But think about it, his influence is already enough to force me to such an extent. He is also backed by Taiyi, even the other three Path Emperors have no choice but to follow him. So what can we, as Alcide beings, do?”
Listening to Goyo pour out his frustrations, Thea glanced at James and asked, “Does this mean we misjudged the Alcide beings?”
James replied calmly, “Not entirely. Their attitude toward us indeed had scrutiny, perhaps even excessive, but there are underlying reasons. Ultimately, the cause of it all is Xanthakos.”
Goyo frowned and said, “Exactly. In our eyes, Xanthakos represents all of the Greater Realms’ beings. For his own selfish ambitions, he had brought such devastation to the Haleth Realm and has been actively suppressing our kind. How can we not be angry?”
James shrugged and stood up.
“You’ve already answered me very clearly. Whether or not it’s true and worthy of my trust, I’ll still have to verify. I still have one more question…”
Goyo smiled and said, “You want to know where the Wuia Palace is, and how to gain entry?”
James raised an eyebrow and said, “I love being straightforward. Since you’re very sensible, let’s not beat around the bush.”
Goyo nodded and said, “I agree. But first, you must help me with something.”
“Are…are you really not going to pick a side?”
James shrugged and said, “I’ve no choice. You’re all cunning foxes, whereas my power is limited. I have to keep my guard up.”
Goyo sighed heavily and then nodded.
“Very well, then. Come with me. At least help me reclaim the Goyoan Temple. Otherwise, nothing will be able to proceed.”
James had no objections. He waved his hand and immediately retracted the Gate of Annonymous. The next moment, he and Thea disappeared from the valley.

"Good things take time" Lol yeah, a hundred and fifty trillion years, apparently....
How was Sheldon Jame's first disciple? Wasn't the Black Eagle King the first? Where has he disappeared to all this time?...
Unbelievable... I thought James was rid of the annoying "honey, darling" Thea by going to the Demonic Realm, but now she's gone there too *puke*...
This Thea is the most narcissistic woman of all, constantly interrupting James's cultivation, getting in the way of his plans and slowing him down. He was well rid of her but the author went bonkers a few hundred chapters into the story and decided to pair her back with James.. Yuck!...
Thea doesn't deserve James, it so sad he loves her...
Thank you so much for all the effort. I love all the stories I've read. I hope to continue reading "The Almighty Dragon General" story. 😊...
