The Almighty Dragon General

At the edge of the grand formation in the Yin's Void, the two mysterious figures enveloped by the tricolored light of gray, black, and white flickered and immediately appeared.
They looked around bewilderedly, only to find themselves already far from the previous battlefield.
After a moment, the mysterious female figure asked, “Brother, have we dispersed into nothingness?"
“If we really had, could we still be together?" the mysterious figure retorted.
"Well, that's true," the mysterious female figure murmured. Then, she assessed herself. "Hmm, why do I feel like I haven't been injured at all?"
"Silly girl," the mysterious figure chuckled, "Could it be that we were just dreaming about attacking the Yggdrasil Sect?"
"That doesn't make sense." The mysterious female figure lifted her head. "I clearly chose selfdestruction. How could I be unharmed?"

"Then, someone must have helped us." The mysterious figure lightly nudged her, then nodded towards the right.
The mysterious female figure turned her head to see James sitting on a rock. He held a jar of Chaos Absinthe and drank by himself, completely ignoring their presence.
What shocked the two mysterious figures even more was that they could not sense any aura from James, not even his cultivation base. He seemed like an ordinary handsome middle-aged man.
After a moment of astonishment, the mysterious figure nudged the female figure, and together they approached James.
"Thanks for saving our lives, senior." The mysterious male figure bowed respectfully.
The female figure also bowed hastily. "Thank you, senior."
Hearing this, James could not help but chuckle. They did not call him "father" but "senior", all because of his disguise. He looked up at them, a pleased smile appearing on his face. "The Soul Seizing Sword Art is a skillful technique for Clayton."
The two of them were stunned when they heard this.
"Do you know our master?" the female figure exclaimed.
The mysterious male figure immediately nudged her, as if reproaching her for revealing their identity.
"You don't need to put on airs," James said with a smile. "Your master and I have a deep bond of life and death. He has mentioned you both before, one named Jacopo Caden and the other named Xainte Callahan. Otherwise, why would I have intervened today?"
The two of them widened their eyes simultaneously.
