The Almighty Dragon General

Harper asked regretfully, "So Nihilos devoured Morgott?"
Taiyi shook her head and explained, "No. Morgott is Nihilos. Nihilos is Morgott. James must have already discovered his identity before we entered the Wuia Palace. That's why he didn't allow him to tag along." Everyone gasped simultaneously at the revelation.
Yasmina said leisurely, "He would take whatever he wanted as his own and is indeed a terrifying entity. If I were James, I wouldn't feel comfortable allowing him to come with us either."
Taiyi looked at Yasmina and said, "But he's in here. Did James expect this to happen?"
Just as she finished speaking, Morgott cast a large cone-shaped formation around them.
Marius asked nervously, "Is he trying to trap us too?"

"Stop talking and start cultivating instead." Yasmina sat cross-legged on the spot and closed her beautiful eyes.
Taiyi immediately followed suit.
The others glanced at each other puzzledly but also sat down, closed their eyes, and started to cultivate.
Meanwhile, on the east side of the Wuia Palace, a Sword Light descended atop a mountain. The next moment, it transformed into James. Dressed in a white robe, he radiated with an air of nobility. His hair fluttered, and his deep eyes were like a vast universe with twinkling stars.
James suddenly waved his hand and summoned Yiulia from his space.
Yiulia staggered, then stabilized herself. She looked at James, her beautiful face filled with disbelief.
"As you wished, I've already circled the Wuia Palace about eight thousand one hundred times. Are you satisfied now?"
Yiulia trembled at his words. She lowered her head and asked nervously, "What do you mean? I don't understand."
James turned around with his hands behind his back, looking at Yiulia with amusement.
"You're not a very good actor, Lyla. Nobility and arrogance are engraved in your very soul. It's obvious how much you're trying to suppress it."
"It's hard for me to imagine who could make someone like you willingly lower yourself to execute this plan. Moreover, I'm your target."
