"Since Senior Dragon doesn't have anywhere else to go, why not come and visit our Xiao Family? I represent the Xiao Family in welcoming you as a guest, and we are grateful for your life-saving grace!" Xiao Mumchen said with excitement after hearing this.

"Forget it. You don't need to be so polite; just call me Dragon Brother! If that's the case, then let's go along with it!" Dragon傲天 nodded and said.

"Great!" Gu Yuting was delighted as well, seeing how she could make such a powerful ally in Dragon Brother. This would definitely be an enormous opportunity for her.

Dragon傲天 also introduced Qingqing and Tianlin Qi to Xiao Mumchen, but he didn't reveal their true identities. He wasn't entirely clear about Qingqing's identity either, but one thing was certain: it was extremely terrifying.

Qingqing's cuteness quickly won the affection of the three people, especially Gu Yuting and Mu Yunting, who looked at her with starry eyes, not hiding their admiration. Tianlin Qi's skills were also well known to them; this seemingly harmless young man was undoubtedly a formidable expert, earning their respect.

"By the way, how did you end up in such a dangerous place like the Heavenly Essence Forest? With your strength, shouldn't you be afraid of encountering danger here?" Dragon傲天 asked. Although it was outside the Heavenly Essence Forest, there were still many Tier 1 and even occasionally Tier 2 beasts, making this place almost akin to a death trap.

"Vice-Head Xiao Changfeng is such a despicable person; he tricked us into coming here. How detestable! This scoundrel turned out to be such an evil hypocrite! Thanks to Dragon Brother, otherwise, we would have fallen into his hands this time!" Gu Yuting said with anger.

The group then headed towards the outer part of the Heavenly Essence Forest as Dragon傲天 continued to probe for useful information from them. Although they were puzzled by his questions, which seemed a bit foolish, they still shared what they knew with him.

However, Dragon傲天 was somewhat disappointed that he didn't get much useful information from them. After all, the entire Universe Heaven Realm was vast and complex; their knowledge only covered the Heavenly Mystical Imperial Court and its surroundings. They were unclear about many other details.

Through their introductions, Dragon傲天 gained a general understanding of the Heavenly Mystical Imperial Court, which was one of the numerous imperial courts in the Universe Heaven Realm, subordinate to the Flame Sun Holy Court among the Four Great Courts without Sages. There were many such imperial courts under the Heavenly Mystical Imperial Court.

The most powerful force within the Heavenly Mystical Imperial Court naturally belonged to the Xuan Family, who controlled it. Besides the Xuan Family, there were four major families: the Xiao Family, Gu Family, Qian Family, and Mu Family. Although not as terrifying as the Xuan Family, they were still formidable, with a long history of inheritance, holding significant positions in the imperial court.

The Mu Family was somewhat unique; it wasn't a military or political family nor a commercial one. However, no family dared to offend them easily because the Mu Family was a renowned alchemy family that had been around for a long time. The alchemical pills they produced were unparalleled throughout the Heavenly Mystical Imperial Court and even gained considerable fame in the Flame Sun Holy Court's jurisdiction.

Thus, almost all forces maintained friendly relations with the Mu Family, making their status somewhat unique within the Heavenly Mystical Imperial Court.

Apart from these major families, there was another significant presence within the Heavenly Mystical Imperial Court: the Heaven Pole Sect. The power of the Heaven Pole Sect was formidable and could match that of the Xuan Family. Without the牵制of the four major families, it would have dominated the entire Heavenly Mystical Imperial Court. Even now, with the four major families'牵制, the Heaven Pole Sect remained an extremely terrifying force, one not subject to imperial court control within its territory.

The various forces in the Heavenly Mystical Imperial Court had complex and intertwined interests, constantly competing both openly and secretly. After countless years of struggle, a relatively stable situation was formed.

As for the identities of those accompanying Dragon傲天, they were equally significant. Xiao Mumchen was the only son of the head of the Xiao Family, Xiao Tianqing. If nothing happened, he would eventually take over the Xiao Family. Gu Yuting was the daughter of the head of the Gu Family and a princess within her family, holding an exalted position.

Mu Yunting's identity was naturally that of the Mu Family's heiress. The Mu Family had always been short on male heirs, with only Mu Yunting as the sole weak female. Although Mu Yunting was recognized as the most outstanding talent in the Mu Family’s history, she remained a woman. Thus, she became an object of pursuit for many young talents.

On one hand, it was due to her beauty; Mu Yunting was known as the first beauty of the Heavenly Mystical Imperial Court and the dream lover of countless people. On the other hand, it was because of her identity—she was the sole heir of the Mu Family, meaning that whoever obtained her effectively obtained the Mu Family. The Mu Family's long-standing alchemy heritage made their power unimaginable.

Thus, obtaining Mu Yunting would be akin to a meteoric rise.

Dragon傲天 was taken aback when he heard about Mu Yunting’s identity; he never expected it to be so significant. Moreover, she seemed to be his nominal concubine now, which could cause quite a stir if it were known in the Heavenly Mystical Imperial Court. However, Dragon傲天 quickly dismissed these thoughts.

Although the Mu Family was a formidable presence to others, in his eyes, they amounted to nothing. He was a peak mid-Respectful Rank super expert, unmatched by the Mu Family in strength; when it came to alchemy, he was at least a Respected-grade Alchemist and far beyond what the Mu Family could reach.
