The Almighty Dragon General

Chapter 2126
Callan, who was sitting in a lotus position on the ground, opened his eyes. Upon seeing James, he smiled delightedly and said,
“James, I thought you returned to Wyrmstead. Why have you returned to Mount Bane?”
James looked at him and said, “You were being enveloped in Spiritual Energy when cultivating. I guess you must have found
your cultivation method.”
“Yes.” Callan sighed and said, “It’s been so many years. At long last, I’ve finally found my own path. I remember back then that
you were simply a brat in my eyes. However, in just a few years, you managed to become so powerful, while I remained
stagnant. Finally, I was able to find my own path and cross into the ninth rank.”
James said smilingly, “It’s great that you were able to cross into the ninth rank. Remember, one step at a time. Although the
environment has changed, this has many benefits for martial artists and cultivators as a whole. At least we have an abundance
of Empyrean Spiritual Energy now.”
The natural catastrophe was accelerating the evolutionary process of humans. Since the weak were disposed of, only the strong
remained. Though the environment was hostile to ordinary people, it was a blessing in disguise for martial artists and cultivators.
“By the way, why have you come to Mount Bane?” Callan looked at James and asked.
James sat on a rock and handed him a cigarette as he narrated the chain of events that unfolded.
Callan sighed, “You truly are a blessing to Earth.”
James smiled and said, “Alright, I won’t bother you any further. I’ll be heading to Bane City at once.”
“Get going, then.”
Callan waved his hand slightly. James then stood up and turned to leave.
Soon, he arrived at Bane City.
Immediately, his appearance attracted much–unwanted attention. Although he was far weaker than the top–notch Outsiders, he
was nonetheless the most powerful cultivator of Earth. Besides, news of Sacrilegious Ascension had spread far and wide. As this
was a terrifying cultivation method, he naturally garnered a lot of attention.

As he entered the city, many Outsiders by the gates unconsciously moved aside. Some, however, approached him. As the
subordinates of the top–notch Outsiders, their masters were intrigued by James and wanted to meet him personally.
Under normal circumstances, James would have been willing to make acquaintances with the Outsiders. However, as he was a
man on a mission, he turned down their offers.
“James,” came a voice.
James turned his head.
A gorgeous woman wearing a white dress walked over to him.
Upon seeing her, James was stunned.
“Marcello, you...?”
He looked at Marcello with his mouth agape.
The Marcello before him was wearing women’s wear, a pair of earrings, and ornaments embroidered with beads on her head.
Her bright smile was captivating.
“What’s wrong?”
Marcello walked over to James and giggled.
“Y–You’re a woman?”
“Well, I never said I was a man.”
James scrutinized her from head to toe. Her figure was slender, and her appearance was glamorous and as delicate as a piece
of art.
After some time, he collected himself, “I came here to request your help.”
