The Almighty Dragon General

After hearing what Yegor said, Herodias nodded and agreed, "You’re right. James has been a great mentor to our son. We wouldn't be able to repay this debt to him in our lifetime."
Yegor snorted, "Exactly. Yet you accused me of being biased?"
Herodias hugged Yegor and said smilingly, "Alright, alright. I wronged you. I'm sorry."
Yegor was speechless.
Meanwhile, Clayton brought James to a mysterious forbidden area within the Skynet's headquarters.
The two squinted after seeing Dark Thea, who was shrouded by a purplepink light.

Dark Thea opened her eyes, and a red glow flashed in her eyes. As soon as she spotted James, her face lit up with excitement. She rushed over to him and wrapped her arms around him, following up with a quick peck on the lips.
Clayton covered his eyes and turned around, sighing at their public display of affection.
Dark Thea giggled, "I'm glad you're back! By the way, why do I sense a righteous aura from you?"
James sighed, "It's a long story. Anyway, how are your injuries?" "The Celestial Sage and Earthly Sage took good care of me. My injuries are almost healed." Dark Thea gracefully circled in place.
Clayton suddenly turned around and interrupted them, saying impatiently," Are you two done or not? We're running out of time. Can we finish important business first before you continue being lovey-dovey?"
James and Dari Thea were startled by his sudden remarks.
The next moment, Dark Thea wrapped her arms around James' neck, looked at Clayton playfully, and said, "Where are we going, sir?"
Clayton replied calmly, "The Dark World. Someone is waiting for you two there."
James frowned and asked, "We’re returning to the Yin's Void?"
Clayton chuckled, "Oh? Not bad. You already know about the Yin's Void?"
James stared at Clayton and said, "But that place suppresses one’s cultivation rank. If we return there, we'll be suppressed to the Yuraeceon Xaelm Rank. This..."
Clayton answered disapprovingly, "One's cultivation rank means nothing without skills. Plus, your cultivation rank isn't even anything impressive right now."
