The Almighty Dragon General

Chapter 6993
On the other hand, Morgott, Thea, and Lesia had cast another round of attack at Xanthakos.
However, Xanthakos easily deflected those attacks by using his evil spirits.
James' brows twitched. After a short pause, he transmitted his voice to the others. "Stop attacking. I want to have a word with him."
His words left Morgott and the others flabbergasted. Moreover, they could not see what was happening near the Gate of Mystery from where they were.
James fixed his gaze on Xanthakos, who had Franciscus' face.
"Mr. Franciscus died a long time ago, and it was Yehria, your illegitimate daughter, who caused his death. Did you think I would believe your words now?"
"It doesn't matter if you don't." Xanthakos smiled softly.
"You’ve achieved the Daeclon Mahayana Rank and Three Treasures Integration. Moreover, you've mastered Yianni's signature skill, the Chaos Yin-Yang Eyes, and surpassed his mastery of the skill.

"You know better than anyone if the face I have now is real or just an illusion."
Although Xanthakos' words shocked him deeply, James managed to maintain a calm expression.
"James, you and I have never been enemies."
Xanthakos went on saying, "Whether it was when I was Emperor Jabari or Franciscus Yuelan, I was your friend, and sometimes your teacher."
At that very moment, two clones formed and separated from Xanthakos' body. They were two elderly cultivators, who stood unmoving beside him.
James felt as though his head was spinning when he spotted the elderly cultivators. One was in a white robe while the other donned a black robe.
He had met the pair of cultivators previously at the bottom of Aquasoul found on the Forladtt Land's third layer.
These two mysterious cultivators who were spirits back then built James' Golden Bones by using the Marciais Power and Historial Power.
Another two clones separated from Xanthakos' body and assumed the appearance of two other elderly cultivators.
"They..." James said in a shaky voice, "They are the cultivators who have helped me build my Ultimate Golden Body on the Forladtt Land's fourth level?"
"You remembered well." Xanthakos' smile broadened. 'That’s right. They are all me.
"Emperor Jabari and Franciscus were formed from my Soremsia, which existed in the living beings' realm.
"On the other hand, these four spirits were formed from my clones."
James was in a state of shock. He had a dawning realization as he looked at all those familiar faces, whose existences were irrefutably real.
All this time, he had been manipulated like a puppet with strings. Yet, James had not a single clue of what was happening to him.
