Chapter 4317
The Almighty Dragon General
âIâll do my best to complete the task, Sir Youri.â Jamesâ eyes shone with fierce determination.
Youri gave his instructions. âBring some of our best men and meet with the members of the other
races. I need you to acquire the keys to undo the formation cast over the sanctuary located within the
Cloud Raceâs lands.â
A small frown creased Jamesâ forehead. âSir, the humans have one of the keys now. Even if we
manage to collect all the other keys, we wonât be able to undo the formation and release Soren Plamen
without the last key.â
Youri explained, âIâve already sent out news about the humans to the others. With the help of so many
different races in the Greater Realms, itâll only be a matter of time before the humans are found. So,
leave that part of the matter to me. You just have to focus on collecting all the other tokens and bringing
them back safely.â
âUnderstood.â
James was about to turn and leave when he paused in his tracks. He asked, âSir Youri, I think itâs
probably better if I donât bring any men with me for this mission. I should acquire the keys alone.â
âHm?â Youri fixed James with an intense gaze.
James quickly explained, âThe people of the other races might feel displeased or offended if I were to
show up in their territories with a group of our best men. We already have to watch out for that
powerful, mysterious man from the Human Race. I think itâs best we try to avoid getting into any
conflicts with the other races.â
âI can show the others our sincerity in solving our current issue by going to their territories alone. Iâm
sure theyâd be more than willing to hand over the tokens.â
Youri nodded in agreement. âYou have a point. The other races might think that we are trying to
humiliate or belittle them if you were to show up on their doorsteps with a huge troop out of nowhere. It
would be quite problematic if any one of them were to decide to turn on us at any point.â
Youri agreed with Jamesâ opinion.
âIn that case, you should visit the other races alone. Do it discreetly. Try not to let anyone else learn of
your mission,â Youri added.
âIf it could be done, I would like to obtain all nine keys without alarming the other races which are not
the keepers of the keys.
âThatâs because most living beings are opposed to the idea of releasing Soren Plamen since that man
is very dangerous, â Youri thought.
âSir, what should we do about Soren once we managed to collect all the keys?â James asked.
âWhat do you think?â Youri cast a glance in his direction.
James responded instantly, âSoren is from the Human Race.
He is a threat to all of us. He has been trapped in the formation for a very long time. Even if the
formation wasnât effective in destroying the man, heâs very likely in a
weakened state now. This is the perfect chance for us to exterminate him. Once we have the Blithe
Omniscience, Soren Plamen shall meet his eternal end.â
âMhm.â Youri gave him a nod of approval. âYou and I are of the same opinion. You can head out for the
mission now. There is no time for us to waste.â
âUnderstood.â
James excused himself and exited the main hall. Then, he concealed his aura and left the Doom
Raceâs territory right away.
As soon as James was gone, Qimat materialized beside Youri almost instantaneously.
âSir, are you really sure that itâs alright for us to let Mr. Wyot carry out the mission alone?â Qimat wore a
worried frown.
Youri seemed relatively relaxed. âWyot may be a rather ambitious man, but at the end of the day, he is
still one of our kind. Whatâs more, he is also the most suitable person for this task. Previously, he had
managed to save numerous living beings in the Ancient Realm. If we were to send out another person
to ask for the keys, the other races might not be willing to cooperate as much.â
âAre you not worried that he may run off with the keys after collecting all of them? Or he might use the
keys to threaten you to make him the Patriarch instead?â Qimat asked.
Youri let out a hearty laugh. âHe wouldnât dare do such a thing. Eventhough Wyot is quite strong, heâll
lose everything he has the instant he turns against me and is branded as a traitor. Without the people
of the Doom Race, Wyot would just be a nobody.â
After hearing those words, Qimat made no further comments.
âHave we received any news on the humans?â Youri asked.
Qimat answered, âWe got the news out in the Greater Realms. We are getting help from the other
races in the search for the members of the Heaven-Eradicating Sect. I believe weâll be getting more
updates soon.â
