Early the next morning:
After Tang Dan's group made some simple preparations, they rode on their Savage Beasts and continued their journey in the desert.
Savage Beasts were huge beasts with Fiendish Demon bloodlines. They moved as fast as they could in the desert.
After storing up power, Savage Beasts could fly for a short period of time, several times faster than fired arrows.
Savage Beasts were much better than war chariots or Spirit Boats.
The group traveled in silence, not saying much.
As for Xiao Chen, he shared a Savage Beast with Tang Dan. The Savage Beast had a very wide back. If Xiao Chen did not fear falling, he could even sit cross-legged without any problems.
Seeing that Xiao Chen had already woken up, the others occasionally looked at Xiao Chen, feeling exceptionally curious.
This white-robed bladesman lying beside the Six-Tailed Heavenly Fox was a mystery to them.
Tang Dan did not say much about Xiao Chen, which piqued their curiosity.
Deng Yun, who was traveling alongside Tang Dan, occasionally glanced at Xiao Chen, feeling somewhat upset.
Last night, Deng Yun had learned from Tang Dan that Xiao Chen had killed the Six-Tailed Heavenly Fox. He did not believe it at all.
However, no matter what, this Beast Core ended up in his hands.
Deng Yun had to properly thank Tang Dan. He had to remember this favor and repay it when he broke through to the Holy Venerate Stage in the future.
With this thought, Deng Yun decided to let it go. There was no need to lower himself to Xiao Chen's level.
Naturally, Xiao Chen could not be bothered with what others thought. He closed his eyes and rested on the Savage Beast's back, anxiously treating his injuries.
Recovering his combat prowess to its peak was the most important thing.
The battle with the Six-Tailed Heavenly Fox had taught Xiao Chen many of his shortcomings.
His Movement Technique was still not fast enough.
He had to perfect his Thunder Dragon Steps quickly and improve it further.
His horizons were still too low. After entering the Heaven Dragon Palace, he would see if he could obtain some Movement Technique manuals to improve his Movement Technique.
When the sun set, a red glow filled the sky, stretching as far as the eye could see. The setting sun was as beautiful as a sea of fire.
The beautiful scenery of the desert made one feel carefree and relaxed.
In one day, the Savage Beasts traveled four million kilometers. If it were a martial artist, it would take more than three days to travel such a long distance, and the consumption would be even greater.
After three days of traveling day and night, Xiao Chen and the others finally walked out of the desert.
They arrived in front of a majestic city next to the desert.
Perhaps it was due to nature, the Dragon Race's cities were very tall, much larger than the Yanwu Dynasty's cities.
Tang Dan stated her identity.
When one stepped into the Divine Dragon Empire, one would be considered to have officially entered the Divine Dragon Empire.
On the streets and alleys, be it ordinary people or martial artists, they all more or less had the Dragon Race's bloodline.
Because of his bloodline, Xiao Chen felt an indescribable sense of closeness as he walked through it.
This was the first time he had felt such a feeling in the four years he had been in the Great Thousand Domains.
After checking into an inn, Tang Dan gave some simple instructions before leaving in a hurry.
The group rested on the spot and ordered a table of food and wine in the inn.
Xiao Chen sat among them, pouring himself a cup of wine and drinking by himself. Whenever someone asked him about something, he would casually chat with them.
They had been traveling for days, so they did not have time to ask in detail.
Now that they had a rare moment of rest, the Heaven Dragon Palace disciples traveling with them asked Xiao Chen all the questions they were curious about.
"Xiao Chen, did you really kill that Six-Tailed Heavenly Fox?"
This was the question that tickled everyone the most.
Xiao Chen nodded and said, "I guess so. However, I did not do it on my own. I had some luck."
Not wanting these people to be too shocked and continue asking questions, Xiao Chen could only "explain."
"No wonder. I was wondering how you could kill the Six-Tailed Heavenly Fox."
"However, it is still very difficult. Even if luck played a part, your strength is undeniable." "Yes. No matter how lucky I am, it is useless without strength."
Such an explanation was acceptable to the crowd, so they stopped asking.
Deng Yun's expression turned somewhat unnatural, feeling somewhat upset.
Logically speaking, the Beast Core naturally belonged to whoever killed it.
However, the Six-Tailed Heavenly Fox's Beast Core was in Deng Yun's hands. Deng Yun still did not know that Xiao Chen had taken the initiative to hand over the Beast Core.
Deng Yun still did not know that Xiao Chen had taken the initiative to hand over the Beast Core.
"Did you really kill that Six-Tailed Heavenly Fox?"
Deng Yun asked with a sharp expression as he put down his wine cup and looked at Xiao Chen.
"Although there was some luck, it is absolutely true."
Xiao Chen did not understand why, so he repeatedly emphasized this question. However, he still repeated his answer.
The atmosphere seemed somewhat off. Just when the others felt that something bad would happen, Deng Yun took a sip of wine to drown his sorrows.
Then, he took out a mirror box and placed it on the table. "I'm returning it to you. Even without this Beast Core, I can still break through to Holy Venerate."
Xiao Chen felt surprised. However, he said calmly, "Take it. I already transferred everything about the Six-Tailed Heavenly Fox to you. After Tang Dan returns, she will explain to you that this is a fair transaction. "
"A transaction?" Deng Yun looked at Xiao Chen with some surprise, not understanding what was going on.
Xiao Chen did not explain too much, as Tang Dan had already appeared outside.
"Come with me."
Tang Dan's voice projection rang out in Xiao Chen's ears. Then, he put down his wine cup and left.
Only the stunned crowd remained. "Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh! "
Tang Dan led Xiao Chen around the city for a long time. Finally, they stopped in a desolate alley.
"My clan has some power and accumulations in the Divine Dragon Empire. Hence, I know some channels to secretly buy and sell information or fake identities."
Tang Dan looked at Xiao Chen and said, "I already used my clan's connections to create an identity for you. Thirty years ago, there was an average-sized Xiao Clan in the north that got exterminated by Underground Demons. Right now, you are the sole descendant of that Xiao Clan that escaped. This is your clan's jade pendant. Keep it well. "
Xiao Chen accepted the jade pendant. He somewhat admired Tang Dan's efficiency. It looked like the clan behind her was not simple.
"The jade pendant is real. This is the information on that Xiao Clan. You can take a look."
"Many thanks."
With this identity, it would be much more convenient for Xiao Chen to do things in the future.
If he wanted to become an inner sect disciple, he would have to stand out and attract attention. It was too difficult not to be investigated. If they found some clues, it would be impossible for them to escape.
If something happened and he could not enter Ancestor Dragon City, Xiao Chen would have come for nothing.
"You are too polite. However, I can tell that you are very confident. You seem to think that you will definitely stand out in the Heaven Dragon Palace and obtain the qualifications to enter the inner sect. However, I have to remind you not to be careless. Deng Yun and I are just barely at the bottom of the Heaven Dragon Palace. We are not that strong. "
Xiao Chen felt slightly surprised. He had been about to leave, but he stopped and asked, "What do you mean?"
Tang Dan gave Xiao Chen a deep look. Then, she continued, "Above the inner sect disciples are the core disciples. Those who can become core disciples are all Holy Venerates. Furthermore, this is not the strongest in the Heaven Dragon Palace. Above the core disciples are the even stronger heaven-class core disciples.
"The Heaven Dragon Palace is not as weak as you think. For it to be an independent palace that rivals a peak Rank 6 sect and has been passed down for tens of thousands of years, it naturally has its accumulations and terrifying aspects. Even if it is just a mixed-blood dragon bloodline, with the competition and the many layers of selection, those who can reach the top will not be weak.
"The empire has more than one thousand counties. Among the mixed-blood dragon bloodlines, there is no lack of large clans with Heaven Dragon bloodlines. The resources those people obtained from young might not be any less than those with True Dragon bloodlines or Divine Dragon bloodlines. However, due to their bloodlines, they cannot go to the other palaces and can only choose the Heaven Dragon Palace.
"So, take care!"
Xiao Chen thought for a long time. If not for Tang Dan's words, he would indeed have been careless.
After all, that Jiang He was also a mixed-blood dragon.
"Many thanks for the reminder. It looks like I did not lose out in this transaction. Goodbye."
Xiao Chen performed a cupped-fist salute and smiled faintly before turning to leave.
When Tang Dan returned to the inn, her junior brothers and sisters surrounded her, asking her about the transaction.
Tang Dan felt somewhat helpless. After a long time, she said, "Don't ask too much. This person is different from us. After returning to the Heaven Dragon Palace, don't say that you met this person. Something major will happen to him. It is best to avoid interacting with him. "
"This …"
Tang Dan's words completely shocked this group of people, finding it somewhat inconceivable. While they drank and chatted with Xiao Chen, they did not sense anything different about Xiao Chen.
Only Deng Yun recalled that night when Xiao Chen suddenly opened his eyes, causing his soul to tremble.
He felt that Tang Dan's words were probably true.
This Xiao Chen was indeed different from them.
