<h4>Chapter 2034 (Raw 2129): Who Is It?</h4>
At an endless mountain range outside Divine Dragon City:
Xiao Chen stood on top of an unremarkable mountain peak. As he looked back, he remained silent.
He had not expected thepetition between the seven outer pces to turn out like that.
Xiao Chen felt somewhat wronged, somewhat helpless, and even more guilty.
First Pce Master Yi Yun had taken the initiative to fight with Ancestor Dragon City’s Elders for Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen’s brothers and friends had gone against Ancestor Dragon City to protect him.
With the size of themotion, these people would all definitely be punished in the end.
“Big Brother Xiao, you are not leaving?”
Sang came out of the Divine Universe Stele and looked at Xiao Chen somewhat worriedly.
Sang worried about Xiao Chen’s current state. He knew that Xiao Chen med himself and would have difficulty calming down.
“Was I too rash? At worst, I would have only exposed the Azure Dragon bloodline if I had gone to Ancestor Dragon City,” Xiao Chen said softly as he stared into the distance.
Xiao Chen had always been swift and decisive in the way he did things, rarely regretting his actions.
However, he had not expected so many people to get involved this time.
In reality, Xiao Chen could not be med for much of it.
Trouble had sought him out; Xiao Chen had not taken the initiative to seek trouble. Situ Changfeng and the others had brought him out of their own free will.
It was like when Xiao Chen risked his life to save Situ Changfeng at all costs in Deste God Valley.
Xiao Chen had merely followed his heart.
However, even the hardest heart had moments of softness and weakness. Heartaches were hard to control.
On this day, when Xiao Chen’s dreams were shattered, he felt very helpless.
This was thend where Xiao Chen’s dreams shattered. When the dreams shattered, the heart broke.
Xiao Chen had drifted for five years, feeling heartache for five years. He was only one step shy of seeing Liu Ruyue, but that dream shattered.
When Murong Yan attacked in rage and the Heavenly Dragon Pce disciples grouped together and charged forward, cracks appeared in that proud and stubborn heart that swore never to give up; it was hard to avoid the heartbreak.
Xiao Chen had not felt this way for many years already, not since the great cmity at the Kunlun Realm and that shocking battle.
“Let’s go.”
Xiao Chen could not bear to keep looking at thisnd of shattered dreams. He turned away and did not look back.
“Where to next? Are we leaving the Divine Dragon Empire?” Sang asked.
“I need to recuperate first...”

Three dayster:
The storm in Divine Dragon City slowly calmed down. After the initial burst of rumors, people finally pieced the truth together from the mish-mash of information.
Who could have expected an unremarkable outer pce disciple to prompt two horrifying Sovereign Emperors to fight in Divine Dragon City, kicking up a storm?
Xiao Chen, who was initially just a slightly famous disciple in the outer pce, instantly became famous throughout the Divine Dragon Empire.
Be it the lofty Sovereign Emperors or the lowly Star Venerates, they all knew of this person.
After Xiao Chen suppressed Qin Mu in thepetition between the seven outer pces, Ancestor Dragon City had discovered that Xiao Chen faked his identity, which caused a huge storm.
What was more shocking was that the Blue Dragon Pce’s Situ Changfeng, the Golden Dragon Pce’s Wei Hongfei, all of the Heavenly Dragon Pce’s heaven-ss core disciples, and many others had all stood up for such a person.
The Heavenly Dragon Pce’s First Pce Master, Yi Yun, had even fought one of Ancestor Dragon City’s Supreme Elders without care for anything else.
All this was so that they could send this one person out of Divine Dragon City.
The story sounded too ridiculous. However, people would spread only ridiculous things. As time went by, people dug up Xiao Chen’s past, like the story of how he chopped down Rakshasa Tian’s clone and the story of him single-handedly saving the me Dragon Legion.
These inconceivable-sounding stories amazed everyone.

Seven more dayster, at a small, roadside teahouse in White Cloud City:
The crowd was sparse at this rather remote teahouse. However, there were still some people drinking tea and chatting.
“To think that this Xiao Chen has not been caught yet. This is strange. It has been seven days since the search started, but there is not even a single sighting of him. This is rather ridiculous.”
“The Blood Dragon Guards have always been very efficient, yet they actually do not have a single clue at all. This is really strange.”
“I heard something even more ridiculous. The Dragon Race divination experts tried to divine Xiao Chen’s location. In the end, they all drained their Soul Energy, vomited blood, and fainted. After they woke up, they did not say a single word. Since then, no one has dared to try again.”
“Haha! That is a powerful genius who seeded in practicing the Supreme Dragon Fist. There would definitely be something unusual.”
“Speaking of the Supreme Dragon Fist, have you heard? Rumor has it that Qin Mu, one of the Qin n’s twin stars, brought out his Emperor Dragon Fist to its limits, but Xiao Chen still defeated him.”
“Howe I did not hear about that? The Emperor Dragon Fist has been passed down for tens of thousands of years. It is the strongest offensive Martial Technique of the Dragon Race, known as the king of Fist Techniques. Even in the entire Central Great Realm, Fist Techniques that canpare to it are extremely rare. Who could have thought that it would lose to the Supreme Dragon Fist?”
“A diviner said that the Golden Dragon Pce’s Luck has already been affected. The Golden Dragon bloodline has privately sent out the Dragon Protecting Corps to kill Xiao Chen on sight.”
“The Golden Dragon Pce, those bastards are really ruthless. However, this makes sense. This Xiao Chen poses a threat to their dominance. If it were me, I would immediately kill him before he could grow up.”
A cloaked figure at a corner of the teahouse set down his teacup, put some Spirit Jades on his table, got up, and left.
The person under the ck cloak was Xiao Chen.
In ten days, Xiao Chen had recovered from all his injuries. After he healed, he carefully made his way to this ce.
The pursuit was not strong in the White Dragon Pce’s territory. They did not even search or check on suspicious people.
Nevertheless, Xiao Chen did not let his guard down. When he sought information, he chose this remote teahouse rather than a crowded one.
However, there was not much useful information, merely some old news.
Xiao Chen heard all this three days ago.
ording to the various rumors, Situ Changfeng, Murong Yan, the Heavenly Dragon Pce disciples, and the others surprisingly did not receive any especially harsh punishment. Their qualifications to enter Ancestor Dragon City were merely revoked for one year. Then, their various outer pces dealt with them.
This was already the best result. It looked like Ancestor Dragon City still had some poise; they did not make things difficult for the disciples.
Xiao Chen’s only worry was First Pce Master Yi Yun. Up until now, there had been no news of him.
One hourter, Xiao Chen arrived at the periphery of the White Dragon Pce’s mountain range.
He had already gone around the White Dragon Pce.
The formations and restrictionsyered over each other. Trying to barge in would result in death.
Xiao Chen asked, “Sang, do you have a way?”
“Not a problem. Their formations use the momentum of the mountains and the living things as formation lines. I canmunicate with some of the ancient trees and use that to break in. With a little caution, we can enter.”
“Good.”
Xiao Chen put on the Death God Mask. With some effort, he managed to sneak in.
The Death God Mask had the effect of isting all aura. Even a Sovereign Emperor could not detect it. For the past ten days, Xiao Chen had been relying on the Death God Mask to escape the detection of the various parties.
When necessary, the Death God Mask could bring him into the void to prevent detection.
The White Dragon Pce was incredibly vast. Xiao Chen sneaked in silently under cover of night, not attracting any attention.
Following his memory, Xiao Chen headed for Liu Ruyun’s residence carefully.
By relying on the Death God Mask to iste all his aura, Xiao Chen avoided the many guards.
When the full moon rose, Xiao Chen finally arrived at theke surrounded by towering mountains.
Theke water seemed as clear as before. Under the hazy, white fog, the night scene and the moonlight made theke look even chillier and more deste.
An exquisite paviliony amid white mist at the center of theke, appearing indistinct.
The mountains surrounding theke looked very picturesque, rising and falling into the distance.
Theke water was like a perfect and wless jade iid between the mountain ranges and rivers.
From the shore, the poeticke seemed extremely long, stretching out between two mountain ranges.
This tinyke gave the impression of a vast sea, vast and endless.
As for that pavilion in the center of theke, the dragons and phoenixes carved on it appeared pure white through the mist. The pavilion flickered with flowing light that looked jade-green when reflected in the water ripples spreading out over theke surface.
“I’ve arrived,” Xiao Chen muttered to himself as he stared at the pavilion.
The ce where Liu Ruyue stayed in the White Dragon Pce was Xiao Chen’s destination.
While Xiao Chen could not go to Ancestor Dragon City, he did not forget his initial purpose ining to the Divine Dragon Empire.
Xiao Chen’s figure shed as he flew over silently. His figure flitted above theke surface like a swallow, gently drifting over tond on the pavilion’s roof.
He did not enter, as there was someone inside.
In the pavilion, Liu Ruyun held a painting of Xiao Chen’s silhouette as she said resentfully, “That inflexible Xiao Chen! Stupid Xiao Chen, you promised to go to Ancestor Dragon City with me. Why did you kick up such a huge storm? It was just an identity. If you told me, I could have gotten my father to get you one. That is something very easy.
“Unscrupulous bastard, how could you leave like that? You should at least let me know that you are safe! I’ll poke you to death! Poke you to death...”
As the valiant-looking, short-haired Liu Ruyun spoke, her eyes turned teary.
This girl did not know why she felt so sad. She felt like crying, and she did something childish, poking many holes in the painting.
Paintings littered the ground, all of them simrly riddled with holes. It was clear that this was not Liu Ruyun’s first day here.
Liu Ruyun left, feeling embarrassed, only when it waste in the night.
Xiao Chen heaved a soft sigh. After Liu Ruyun was far away, he silently entered the pavilion.
Liu Ruyun once said that when Liu Ruyue had time, she woulde back to stay for a while. The timing had no pattern, but this was where she stayed in the White Dragon Pce.
Xiao Chen waited patiently. Perhaps he might have a chance to meet Liu Ruyue before his departure.
He could only leave this opportunity to heaven and try his luck. However, he did not hold much hope.
Time passed. Soon, one month had psed. Xiao Chen already felt some despair.
During this period, Sang had urged him several times to leave quickly.
The White Dragon Pce teemed with experts. Once they discovered Xiao Chen, only death awaited him.
Big Brother Xiao Chen, it’s really time to go. You have to leave the Divine Dragon Empire quickly. You can’t stay in this White Dragon Pce any longer.
Sang’s voice came from the Divine Universe Stele.
Xiao Chen had already waited several days. He had promised Sang several times that he would leave, but he could not resist staying.
Xiao Chen sighed, “I’ll leave after tonight.”
It looks like I am destined not to meet her. However, if I leave, I really don’t know when I ever will.
Someone is nearby.
Just at this moment, Xiao Chen and Sang sensed someone slowly making their way over theke.
It was not Liu Ruyun. In the past month, Liu Ruyun hade several times. Xiao Chen and Sang were already very familiar with her aura.
Is it her?
