Chapter 1883 (Raw 1894): Tang Dan, a Good Person
Xiao Chen’s complexion turned paler with every centimeter the sword moved.
Tang Dan, who saw this scene up close, turned even paler than Xiao Chen, completely shocked.
“Whoosh!”
A while later, Xiao Chen finally pulled the sword out of his body. Then, he casually tossed it aside.
Then, he stopped the bleeding and stretched his body.
After doing all that, he fixed his gaze on Tang Dan, who was restrained by the Seven Kill Seal.
With a slight thought and his left hand moving continuously, Xiao Chen dispersed the horrifying killing Qi accumulated in Tang Dan’s body.
If Xiao Chen did not, he would eventually lose control of the Seven Kill Seal.
At that time, Tang Dan would either die or sustain severe injury.
Clearly, Xiao Chen did not want to see that, nor did he aim for that.
“Cough! Cough! Cough!”
Tang Dan pressed her hands against her chest as she coughed intensely, looking at Xiao Chen with a horrified gaze.
Since Tang Dan was born, this was her first time seeing such a terrifying person.
Despite not having a high cultivation, Xiao Chen gave Tang Dan an even more horrifying feeling than when she faced her master.
“Why did you not kill me?”
Tang Dan looked at Xiao Chen with doubt in her eyes.
Xiao Chen looked for a place to sit. Then, he replied calmly, “Even if you had not shown up, I still would have woken up. However, you at least tried to save my life. My demonic pet told me what happened already, so I definitely won’t kill you.”
If Tang Dan had not appeared and helped direct Xiao Chen’s Veritable Essence Energy, he would have been unconscious for ten days or so.
With external assistance, waking up became easier.
After being unconscious for a few days, Xiao Chen had already recovered significantly with the help of his bloodline power.
Xiao Chen’s injuries were not as severe as Tang Dan imagined. The recovery ability of the Dragon Race bloodline was extraordinary in the first place. Furthermore, he possessed a Grade 8 Azure Dragon bloodline, something even more extraordinary.
“Secondly, I have some things I want to ask you. Let’s see if we can come to an agreement.”
Wariness flashed in Tang Dan’s eyes as she looked at Xiao Chen. “Who exactly are you? What is your purpose in coming to the Divine Dragon Empire?!”
“I am Xiao Chen. I came to the Divine Dragon Empire to meet a person. As for my second purpose, you won’t believe it even if I told you, so I won’t bother telling you.”
Xiao Chen answered honestly, not hiding anything. Then, he continued, “Skipping past the chitchat, I have no malicious intention towards you. Although I did kill the Six-Tailed Heavenly Fox, I can let you have the Beast Core. I do not need it.”
“You…”
Tang Dan’s instinct told her that Xiao Chen was not lying. The most important thing was that he had a strong air about him.
This gave her the feeling that Xiao Chen did not need to lie to her.
“What do you want to know?”
Tang Dan considered for a moment before reluctantly agreeing to Xiao Chen’s proposal. As long as it was not a secret, she could tell Xiao Chen everything she knew.
In fact, within the vast Divine Dragon Empire, Tang Dan was only a minor character and did not know any secrets.
“Give me a brief description of the Divine Dragon Empire’s current situation and how to get to Ancestor Dragon City.”
After hearing that, Tang Dan revealed a surprised expression. This information was no secret. Basically, every Dragon Race cultivator knew it.
Despite finding it strange, Tang Dan organized her thoughts, then gave a brief description.
Xiao Chen listed carefully, not missing out on anything. After she finished, his expression turned somewhat grave.
To think that Ancestor Dragon City was not open to outsiders.
In the vast Divine Dragon Empire, there was only one sect. Interestingly, this sect was also called Dragon’s Gate.
One would be qualified to enter and stay in Ancestor Dragon City only after entering the inner sect.
As for the inner sect’s situation, Tang Dan was not very clear about it. She only knew that entering the inner sect was a great honor.
As for the outer sect, it was separated into seven palaces: the Golden Dragon Palace, the White Dragon Palace, the Silver Dragon Palace, the Blue Dragon Palace, the Red Dragon Palace, the Green Dragon Palace, and the Heavenly Dragon Palace.
While these palaces were considered the outer sect, in reality, each of them was as strong as a peak Rank 6 sect.
The first six palaces only accepted cultivators with the Divine Dragon bloodlines or True Dragon bloodlines of extremely high grade. They rejected any mixed-blood dragon bloodlines.
From top to bottom, the Dragon’s Gate was controlled by the noble clans of the Divine Dragon bloodlines.
As for the Heavenly Dragon Palace, while the name sounded nice, in reality, it took in disciples of mixed-blood bloodlines.
The Heavenly Dragon Palace had the most people. However, their position was the lowest in the entire Dragon Race. The resources that they received were also insufficient.
In this nation where bloodline was the basis of status, the mixed-dragon bloodline cultivators were like vagrants in a nation of ordinary people.
Tang Dan was leading a group of Heavenly Dragon Palace inner palace disciples on an experiential training mission.
“I would like to join the Heavenly Dragon Palace. Do you have any method to give me a clean identity?”
After thinking for a while, Xiao Chen directly stated what he wanted.
Tang Dan gave Xiao Chen a strange look. “You are overthinking a little. Just join the Heavenly Dragon Palace if you want. Who would go and investigate a Dragon Race cultivator with a mixed-dragon bloodline?”
These words were loaded. Hidden behind these words, Tang Dan was saying that Xiao Chen was too egotistic.
The mixed-blood bloodline had an extremely small presence in the entire Divine Dragon Empire, practically nonexistent. No one would go and investigate.
Xiao Chen did not mind. He asked softly, “Is there a way or not? If there is, I can give you another treasure that is just as valuable as the Heavenly Fox’s Beast Core.”
Since Xiao Chen insisted on it and his words sounded persuasive, Tang Dan could not help thinking about it seriously.
After a while, she said, “Naturally, there is a way. Mixed-blood cultivators make up the majority of the people in the Divine Dragon Empire. It would not be difficult to create a fake identity.”
“I need one that is flawless. No matter how it is investigated, there cannot be any holes.” Xiao Chen emphasized this, speaking very gravely.
Tang Dan was somewhat frightened by his attitude. Then, she said through clenched teeth, “I guarantee it will be flawless.”
“Deal.”
“Whoosh!”
Right after Xiao Chen spoke, he tossed a brocade box to Tang Dan. It contained a Spirit Herb, which he had found in the storage ring of Withered Leaf City’s City Lord.
This herb was more than ten thousand years old, something that could strengthen Soul Energy and improve the will of soul.
Tang Dan opened the brocade box, and her eyes lit up, showing an extremely shocked expression.
“Soul Fixing Grass!”
Unexpectedly, Xiao Chen casually took out a ten-thousand-year-old Spirit Herb. As Tang Dan lived in the resource-deprived Heavenly Dragon Palace, she was indeed greatly startled and could not help wondering about Xiao Chen’s origins even more.
However, since Xiao Chen did not say anything about his background, she did not dare delve into it.
Suddenly, Tang Dan realized why Xiao Chen had to obtain a flawless identity.
It was to enter Ancestor Dragon City.
Yes, that must be the case. It would be impossible not to attract attention when one enters the inner sect. One would need a flawless identity.
This thought startled Tang Dan, causing her to look at Xiao Chen and involuntarily let out a startled cry, “You…”
“It is settled, then. I will stay with you and recuperate for the time being.”
Xiao Chen did not have any intention of explaining. He just lowered his head and went to sleep, appearing rather tyrannical.
“This fellow…”
To Tang Dan, Xiao Chen appeared rather scoundrelly. She gritted her teeth in irritation as she left the tent.
After she came out of her tent, she shook her head and walked to Deng Yun.
At this moment, Deng Yun felt incomparably depressed and extremely sullen.
He had attempted to gain an advantage only to end up worse off. Not only had he failed to kill Xiao Chen, but he had also been caught in the act.
The worse thing was that Deng Yun could not even retort after being injured by Xiao Chen.
A Heavenly Fox’s Beast Core!
Thinking of the Beast Core, Deng Yun clenched his fist tightly. Heavy dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes. The Heavenly Dragon Palace lacked resources in the first place.
As a mixed-blood dragon, the resources that Deng Yun enjoyed could not compare to that of the Six Colored Divine Dragon cultivators and the True Dragon cultivators.
Even after putting in more effort and suffering more, he might not get as much as the disciples of the other six halls. Even his own palace would show more care for the True Dragon disciples.
This was a rare opportunity. Deng Yun simply felt dissatisfied at losing it.
“Junior Brother Deng.”
Just at this moment, Tang Dan suddenly appeared, startling Deng Yun awake. He got up quickly to greet her.
“Senior Sister Tang, I guarantee that I will not repeat what happened earlier. There is no need for you to warn me again. However, I still have to say this. That person definitely woke up already. Furthermore, he possesses extraordinary strength.”
Deng Yun felt somewhat embarrassed before Tang Dan. However, he did not think of trying to explain further.
“I’m not here to talk to you about that. Take this.”
Tang Dan stretched out her hand and passed the Six-Tailed Heavenly Fox’s Beast Core to Deng Yun. Then, she said, “Both you and I know that this Beast Core can be used to exchange for a Divine Dragon Grade Blood Transformation Pill. Actually, I understand why you would do something like that.”
Deng Yun accepted the Beast Core, stunned. “Senior Sister, I…”
“Take it. One Divine Dragon Grade Blood Transformation Pill should allow you to break through your bottleneck and reach the peak Starry Sky Stage. When trying to break through to the Holy Light Stage, your odds of success would be ten percent higher.”
Deng Yun’s eyes watered. He was at a loss for words.
Inside Tang Dan’s tent, Xiao Chen opened his eyes and entered deep thought.
He had seen all this with his Spiritual Sense.
“This woman has a strong and charming personality. No wonder she has such prestige in the group.
“Otherwise, a casual word from her would not be able to get the team on experiential training to return willingly.”
At the same time, Xiao Chen felt somewhat shocked. The position of mixed-blood dragons was much lower than he had expected.
