“Xiao Chen, we searched the surroundings, but we could not find Junior Brother Lu Feng,” Bai Yunfeng and the others said somewhat anxiously after they rushed back, looking at Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen no longer showed an easygoing expression. He sighed, “Let him have some quiet. After he figures it out, he will return. Let's go back to the sect first.”

Inside the Silver Dragon Palace, the many heaven-class core disciples still had not left the island.
The scene of Xiao Chen fighting with Xu Fuguan and Li Feng replayed in their minds, having made a deep, unforgettable impression.
On the other hand, they felt nothing about their first senior brother's battle with Lu Feng.
The Silver Dragon Palace disciples had long known about their first senior brother's strength. Defeating Lu Feng was a matter of course.
“Senior Brother Yuan, where do you think Xiao Chen ranks in the entire Dragon's Gate's outer palace?” a disciple asked curiously.
Yuan Xi thought for a while before replying, “With a conservative estimate, he should be able to enter the top ten.”
“Ah!”
The others felt shocked that Yuan Xi gave Xiao Chen such a high evaluation.
Top ten in the outer palace!
Furthermore, this was just a conservative estimate. It had been more than one hundred years since a Heavenly Dragon Palace disciple reached such heights.
“Then, can he enter the top five?” a disciple asked boldly. Actually, he wanted to say “top four.”
Yuan Xi shook his head and replied, “If that is all the strength he has, it is not sufficient to get into the top five. However, there are still two more months, so it is hard to say.”

Xiao Chen, who was returning, did not know that the Silver Dragon Palace's Yuan Xi had such a high evaluation of him.
The group's return was much faster than when they went. They arrived at Heavenly Dragon City in less than ten days.
The moment the four entered the city, people recognized them.
“It seems to be the White Robed Bladesman Xiao Chen and the others.”
“It really is Xiao Chen. He looks exactly the same as the paintings!”
The news of Xiao Chen defeating two opponents simultaneously in the Silver Dragon Palace had spread to all of the Dragon's Gate's outer palaces at lightning speed.
When the news reached the Heavenly Dragon Palace, it had set the entire place abuzz.
In the past gatherings between three outer palaces, the Heavenly Dragon Palace disciples were mostly observers, just there to represent the Heavenly Dragon Palace.
Occasionally, there would be an eye-catching person who could win one exchange at most.
However, Xiao Chen fought against two this time and won, defeating the Silver Dragon Palace's Xu Fuguan and the Golden Dragon Palace's Li Feng at the same time.
Even when those two brought out forbidden techniques, Xiao Chen still defeated them, chopping them in half.
A Divine Dragon bloodline outer palace disciple would find this hard to accomplish. However, the Heavenly Dragon Palace's Xiao Chen managed to do this.
It had been many years since the mixed-blood dragon bloodline cultivators of the Heavenly Dragon Palace felt this delighted.
“Junior Brother Xiao, it looks like you are famous.”
After the group entered Heavenly Dragon City, they had to fly lower because of the rules.
As the group flew by, it seemed like there was a sea of people below chasing after the Demon Blood Vulture to get a few more looks.
Xiao Chen felt surprised. In his opinion, what he did was nothing worth boasting about. However, all of the cultivators in Heavenly Dragon City seemed strangely satisfied with it. The expressions of those people were definitely sincere.
Li Luo noticed the shock on Xiao Chen's face. She said softly, “Junior Brother Xiao Chen, don't feel surprised. You only returned recently and spent most of your time in the Heavenly Dragon Palace cultivating. Perhaps you really do not know the status of the mixed-blood dragon bloodline. In the past, the other six outer palaces suppressed our Heavenly Dragon Palace to the point where we could not catch our breath. Before them, we do not have any confidence at all.
“However, since Junior Brother returned, you first killed Rakshasa Tian's clone in the Abyssal Underworld and saved the empire's legion. Now, you simultaneously defeated a Golden Dragon Palace heaven-class core disciple and a Silver Dragon Palace heaven-class core disciple. These are things that we never dared to imagine in the past.”
Bai Yunfeng sighed, “Junior Sister Li Luo is right. The sights of the Six Colored Divine Dragons are set very high. To them, even the True Dragons are only as good as the mixed-blood dragon bloodlines. Just look at Yuan Xi, and you will know. He shows nothing on the surface, but he has a deep-seated disdain for mixed-blood dragons.
“Junior Brother Lu was just seeking advice from him, but he did not even give Junior Brother Lu a chance. If it were a disciple from any other outer palace, he definitely would not have minded giving some pointers if they were as strong as Junior Brother Lu.”
As the group chatted, the Heavenly Dragon Palace came into view.
According to the rules, the group had to report their gains and what they saw to the sect first. Not wishing to go through the hassle, Xiao Chen asked Bai Yunfeng to deal with it, while he returned to Cold Moon Cave alone.
Xiao Chen did not let the matter of the many cultivators chasing after him in Heavenly Dragon City inflate his ego.
He spent some time eliminating the Star Extermination sword Qi and the Destruction Dao's mysteries from the two powerful forbidden techniques, not leaving any hidden damage.
After that, he chose to cultivate quietly and stably.
After seeing Yuan Xi's strength, Xiao Chen discovered that the four outer palace great expert disciples lived up to their reputations.
Furthermore, Yuan Xi said that the Golden Dragon Palace's Qin Mu was even stronger than the other three outer palace great expert disciples.
Xiao Chen felt some pressure. If he did not progress, he would end up regressing. If he were satisfied with his current strength, Qin Mu would thoroughly humiliate him in the fight between the seven outer palaces.
“I nearly forgot about that.”
After recalling the exquisite brocade box that Liu Ruyun gave him before she left, Xiao Chen opened it to take a look.
He was stunned to see that it was filled with various snacks.
He had thought that it would be cultivation resources or something similar. Unexpectedly, it was snacks. She was indeed still a young girl.
Speaking of which, the person that Liu Ruyue was the closest to was probably Liu Ruyun.
Xiao Chen casually took out a pastry and tasted it; it was pretty good.

Three days later, some information from the First Palace Master interrupted Xiao Chen's cultivation.
There was news of the Five Element Divine Lightning.
