Chapter 1866


    “Breaking news!


    ‘The Dragon King, James, has reappeared in the Southern ins and arrested more than ten generals,


    including a one-star general.”


    The news about what happened in the Southern ins quickly spread throughout the country and


    caused an uproar.


    Talk of it spread quickly all over the country.


    Before the public had a chance to calm themselves, James appeared on a social media tform for the


    first time and posted an announcement.


    ‘The Southern ins deres its independence.”


    At the same time, journalists from all over the country gathered in an eighteen-story building’s top floor


    at the center of Dragonville in the Southern ins.


    James’ voice rang out clearly.


    It was a live broadcast.


    Everyone from the country and even all over the world was able to watch it.


    The news James released online spread like wildfire, and many people tuned into the live broadcast.


    “What happened?”


    “Everything is peaceful now, so why did Dragonville suddenly dere its independence?


    Why did it suddenly be its own nation?”


    “Isn’t James Sol’s Dragon King? Dragonville is part of Sol, isn’t it? How can they suddenly dere


    independence?”


    After the news was released, James became the center of discussion.


    All major websites and forums were talking about the news.


    On a particr online forum, things seemed to be taking a bad turn.


    “I’ll be the first to object!”


    “James, you bastard, what are you trying to do?”


    On the inte, many people chastised James and his decision.


    Many people demanded the King step forward and exin the situation.


    Some people also suggested that troops should be dispatched to raid Dragonville and take it back by


    force.


    The inte was flooded with dissatisfaction about James.


    James chose to ignore these displeased voices since it was useless to exin anything to them now.


    Time would prove his actions were done with the people’s interests in mind, and they would understand


    everything he did was for Soleans and all of mankind.


    After Dragonville was dered as a country, James began to get to work.


    He recruited some top architects and military experts from Sol.


    James was ready to take action.


    He was about to rebuild Dragonville and create a brand new country of his own.


    Slowly, the opposition toward James began to die down.


    In the blink of an eye, a month had passed since Dragonville was dered as a country.


    During this month, James had everything prepared.


    He had sufficient funds and relevant experts on board.


    James stared at a blueprint inside a temporary pce in Dragonville.


    The design used Dragonville as the country’s center, and a pce would be built at its heart. Buildings


    would be constructed spread out from the pce.


    An underground city would also be built since there was no telling what would happen during the


    apocalypse and measures had to be taken to ensure the people could weather the worst toe.


    “James, something’s happened.”


    Seeing Henry rush in frantically, James put down the blueprint. He looked at Henry and asked, “What’s


    wrong? What happened?”


    Henry said solemnly, “Something has happened in Mount Bane.”


    “What?”


    James stood up abruptly.


    Mount Bane was where the seal was located, and the Void Sect upied the territory currently.


    Void Sect was powerful. All its disciples stood on the Skyward Stairway’s Ninth Stair.


    Among them were a number of Half-Saints and two ninth- ranked grandmasters.


    With Void Sect’s potent lineup, how could anything possibly happen there?


    He looked at Henry and asked, ‘What happened at Mount Bane?”


    Henry exined hastily, “Last night, Mount Bane seemed to emit countless rays of light into the sky.


    Since you fought Kaj from the Void Sect on Mount Bane, it has drawn many people’s interest. Many


    were secretly watching Mount Bane.


    “As soon as the rays of light appeared on Mount Bane, it took everyone by surprise.


    Martial artists worldwide are rushing to Mount Bane right now.”


    Hearing this, James asked, “What rays of light? Exin it to me properly.”


    Henry shook his head and said, “I don’t know the specifics. I only heard that Mount


    Bane’s summit lit up with these light raysst night. Many locals think it’s a supernatural phenomenon.”


    While speaking, Henry took out his phone and brought up a video.


    In the video, colorful rays of light shone from the mountain in the distance.


    The light rays illuminated the night sky, giving it an almost ethereal aura.


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    Henry asked, “James, you said the seal’s location was in Mount Bane, right? Could this abnormal


    phenomenon mean that the seal has opened?”


    James shook his head and said, ‘That’s impossible. From what I understand, the four keys must be


    gathered to open the seal. Three of the keys are with the Omniscient Deity, and thest is in the Prince


    of Orchid Mountain’s possession. It’s absolutely impossible for it to be undone right now. Even if four of


    the keys are gathered, the seal can only be opened in ten years’ time.”


    ‘This is an unusual situation. I’ll head to Mount Bane to check it out. You stay here and oversee things


    on this front.”


    James gave his orders and left with his Primordial Dragon de.


    Just as he was about to board a private ne to Mount Bane, the Prince of Orchid


    Mountain appeared.


    Seeing Langston, James addressed him respectfully, “Grandfather.”


    Langston gently waved his hand. James knew Lanston hade to discuss the incident in Mount


    Bane. At the sight of Langston, James could only think of his mother. Although he was in Dragonville,


    he did not head to Mount Thunder Pass to see his mother.


    “Is my mother well?” asked James.


    Langston replied, “Yes, she’s been doing well. We’ve been giving her the medicine you prescribed. Her


    mood has been pretty stable as ofte, and she has shown to be sane on some asions. When she


    has her sanity, she practices Ataraxia which has significantly improved her condition.”


    Hearing this, James was relieved.


    “Are you here because of the incident on Mount Bane?”


    Langston nodded.


    James asked, “What exactly happened there?


    “I’m not sure.”


    Langston thought for a while and said, “Mount Bane is where the Sealed Realm is located. If I’m not


    mistaken, the seal must have loosened causing energy from the


    Sealed Realm to spill out and mutate the surrounding nts.”


    After speaking, Lanston looked at James.


    “James, we must take control of the area containing the gateway to the Sealed Realm. I’ll get Tyrusto


    assist you. You two should head to Mount Bane and drive the Void Sect away.”


    Hearing this, James looked solemn.


    “Grandfather, you’ve already surpassed the ninth rank and entered the Supernaturalrank. If you head to


    Mount Bane and express your desire to upy Mount Bane, VoidSect will surely concede to your


    wishes. Why are you asking me to go instead?”


    Langston waved his hand slightly and interrupted James.


    “I still have other important matters to attend to and can’t leave for the time being.”


    “I see… Alright then.” James nodded.


    Tyrus was formidable and had been in the ninth rank for many years. With his help, taking over Mount


    Bane would not present much of a challenge


    After giving the order, Langston left.


    As soon as he left, Tyrus showed up instantly
