Chapter 7723 - Afraid of His Own People

Seeing that James had no immediate answer, Yegor only smiled and took another deep drink from his wine jar.

“If what people call paganism is simply abandoning Taoist doctrines and refusing to follow Taoist laws,” Yegor said casually, “then you—the new master of the Haleth Realm—seem rather close to being a pagan yourself, don’t you?”

James’s cheek twitched, and a trace of awkwardness crossed his face.

He had to admit it. He had never truly taken those so-called Taoist rules and theories to heart.

From the moment he resisted the oppression of the human race by the major races of the Dark World, to defeating the invading evil gods… then entering the Origin World and openly challenging the laws of Tai Chi… and finally opposing Waitara Path’s Historial Daoism—

All along, he had been like a rebellious child, fighting against the invisible shackles of fate, step by step, without ever bowing his head.

If refusing to worship Taoist doctrines and rejecting rigid laws made someone a pagan, then James was indeed a pagan among pagans—a madman among madmen.
