"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 here, and we are very grateful for your life-saving favor!" Xiao Mumchen said with excitement after hearing this.

"Never mind. You don't need to be so polite; just call me Dragon Brother! If that's the case, then let it be as you wish!"

Dragon傲天 nodded. "That's great!" Gu Yutong was also delighted. Making such a powerful ally like Senior Dragon would certainly be an unprecedented opportunity.

Next, Dragon傲天 introduced Qingqing and Tianlin Qi to Xiao Mumchen. However, he did not reveal their true identities; even Dragon傲天 himself wasn't entirely clear about Qingqing's identity. But one thing he was certain of was that her background was extremely terrifying.

Qingqing's cuteness quickly won the affection of the three people present, especially Gu Yutong 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, instilling fear in the hearts of the three.

"By the way, how did you end up in such a dangerous place like Heavenly Essence Forest? With your strength, why are you not afraid of encountering danger here?" Dragon傲天 asked. Although it was outside the boundaries of Heavenly Essence Forest, there were still many Tier A Essence Beasts roaming around, and occasionally even Tier King ones. Without Tier King strength, one could easily be in mortal peril.

"It's all because that despicable scoundrel Xiao Changfeng tricked us here; how detestable! I never expected this bastard to be such a vile hypocrite! This time, it was all thanks to Dragon Brother; otherwise, we might have fallen into his hands!" Gu Yutong said with anger.

The group then headed towards the outer boundary of Heavenly Essence Forest. Along the way, Dragon傲天 continuously hinted and probed for useful information from them.

Although they were puzzled by Dragon傲天's questions, which seemed rather foolish, they still shared what they knew with him.

However, to Dragon傲天’s disappointment, he did not gain much useful information from them. The entire Universe Heavenly Realm was vast, and their knowledge only covered the Heavenly Mystical Imperial Court and its surroundings; more details were unknown to them.

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

The most powerful faction within the Heavenly Mystical Imperial Court naturally belonged to the ruling family, the Xuan Family. In addition, there were four major clans: the Xiao Family, Gu Family, Qian Family, and Mu Family. Although these families did not match the Xuan Family in power, they were still formidable, long-established noble houses that held significant positions within the imperial court.

The Mu Family was somewhat unique; it was neither a military nor political family, nor a commercial one. However, no other family dared to offend them because the Mu Family was a renowned alchemy family with a long history of producing top-notch medicinal pills. Their alchemical products were unparalleled in the entire Heavenly Mystical Imperial Court and even had considerable fame within the Flame Sun Holy Court's jurisdiction.

Thus, almost all factions maintained friendly relations with the Mu Family, giving it an elevated status within the imperial court.

Aside from these major families, there was another formidable entity within the Heavenly Mystical Imperial Court—the Heaven Pole Sect. The power of the Heaven Pole Sect was immense, even surpassing that of the Xuan Family in some aspects. Without the牵制of the four major clans, it would have dominated the entire imperial court. Even now, with the牵制of the four major families, the Heaven Pole Sect remained an immensely powerful force, one not subject to the constraints or regulations of any imperial court.

The various factions within the Heavenly Mystical Imperial Court had complex interests and were in constant competition, both openly and secretly. After countless years of struggle, they now maintained a relatively stable situation.

Xiao Mumchen was the only son of Xiao Tianqing, the head of the Xiao Family; he would likely inherit the family if nothing happened to him. Gu Yutong was the daughter of the head of the Gu Family and the princess of the clan, holding an exalted position. Mu Yunting's identity was no secret—she was the only daughter of the Mu Family, a rare occurrence in their traditionally male-dominated lineage.

Despite being a prodigy, Mu Yunting faced many suitors due to her beauty and status. She was considered the first beauty of the Heavenly Mystical Imperial Court, making her an object of desire for countless people. Moreover, as the only heir of the Mu Family, securing Mu Yunting meant gaining control over the family, whose power could not be underestimated.

Dragon傲天 was stunned by this revelation; he never expected Mu Yunting to have such a background and that she was now his nominal servant. If this were to become public knowledge, it would certainly cause a significant stir in the Heavenly Mystical Imperial Court. However, Dragon傲天 quickly dismissed these thoughts.

Although the Mu Family seemed formidable to others, in Dragon傲天's eyes, they amounted to nothing. He was a peak middle-stage Sage-level super expert, unmatched by the Mu Family. When it came to alchemy, he at least ranked as a high-grade alchemist, far beyond what the Mu Family could achieve.
