The Almighty Dragon General

Harlon persuaded, "Don't you want to stay together? Why not take this opportunity..."
Thea interrupted, "He's Emperor Yarden's successor. He'll reign over the Great Realm very soon. How can Hokuwn be enough to contain him?"
Harlon was completely speechless.
Thea stood up abruptly and scoffed, "Like master, like disciple. I don't believe a single word you say."
Harlan interjected, "Hey! Your husband is walking straight into Yehria's trap. Are you not going to do anything?"
Thea responded calmly, "My husband has two Quintessential Hearts. Forget these lowly beings in Zymirgy, even the Five Path Emperors might struggle against him."

Witnessing Thea's resolve, Harlan let out a resigned sigh. "Alright, I accept your condition."
Thea turned sharply and said coldly, "Act quick, or I might change my mind."
With a bitter sigh, Harlan summoned a purple-red light that swiftly engulfed Thea.
Suddenly, Thea was lifted into the air by the dense purple-red light. She sat cross-legged, and a black lotus formed beneath her. Shortly after, numerous black lotuses sprouted around her.
Seconds later, the immense purple energy permeated the area and instantly consumed her, encasing her in a purple lotus.
Meanwhile, James sat on a boulder in Zymurgy's Sixth Heaven, sipping his wine. To keep his identity under wraps, he pretended to be a detached owner and influential figure while traveling through Zymurgy. He left the fighting to Yegor to practice. Even Adina, who was at the Soma Daeclon Rank, had no chance to engage.
However, Yegor found himself in a delicate position when facing the Celestial and Earthly Sage. They had an intricate relationship, transcending simple comrades. He treasured the chance they could have a heartfelt chat.
Suddenly, Adina asked, "Why can't we go straight to the Thirty-Third Heaven, Master?"
James smiled calmly and replied, "Shouldn't your question be why I can't use my real appearance?"
Adina sighed. "It's not impossible with your current strength."
