The Almighty Dragon General

Even so, she had no choice. James seized the opportunity while she was in a desperate situation and cursed her. The world was dominated by the strong.
Although James' cultivation rank was low, he could resist the Galeat Wind. Additionally, he was proficient in Curse Magic, which could even control powerhouses at the Yuraeceon Daelm Rank's Ninth Tribulation.
Seeing that Rebella had given in, Abelard also got onto his knees.
James waved his hand, and two soul contracts appeared in the sky.
“Sign it, and I'll consider sparing your cultivation bases."
Abelard and Rebella were in shock after seeing the soul contacts. James' methods were not only ruthless but also very smart. Curses could be broken, but soul contacts were eternal. They would be under his control forever.
Abelard sighed and said, "Since things have come to this, I'll sign it. I'm a mere pawn to the Timaeus Sect. I'll simply be in the hands of a different player now."
After speaking, Abelard released his Zen. The soul contract in the sky bloomed with dazzling light and then disappeared.

Rebella stared at James and said coldly, "Will you promise not to humiliate me and let me keep my cultivation base? If you don't, I'll never submit to you."
James laughed and said, "Do you think I'd strip you naked and throw you into the Timaeus Sect to parade the streets?"
"You..."
James chuckled and said, "I can't bear to do such a thing to such a beautiful and powerful woman like you. As long as you promise absolute obedience, I'll agree to it."
Rebella's pretty face showed despair. Then, she released her Zen into the void. The soul contract immediately emitted a dazzling light, then disappeared.
After the series of events, James acquired two followers at the Yuraeceon Daelm Rank's Ninth Tribulation.
Many years later, Rubella and Abelard will feel joy about today's events.
James landed on the ground, turned his back to them, and said, "I know you two aren't happy to follow me. However, you'll get used to me."
They were silent.
James turned to them, saying, “The Timaeus Sect's Leader is pretentious and despicable. You two should be lucky to have met me. Otherwise, you wouldn't even know how you died."
Rebella fell silent, knowing her supposedly kind-hearted master caused her current situation. She had lost all hope, and her faith had crumbled.
Abelard smiled bitterly, nodded, and said, "No matter how talented we are or how high our cultivation rank, we're unable to escape the calculating schemes of you wiser men."
