Chapter 1138 Silver Dragon

"Thanks." Yuan said as he tossed the Spirit Jades into his spatial ring.

Long Chen cleared his throat and spoke, "Now as for the questions you had for me… Yes, I am from the upper heavens. Specifically, the Ninth Heaven."

The surrounding people gasped in shock when they heard this information.

"He's someone from the Supreme Heaven?! No wonder why his aura is completely different!"

"A real bigshot!"

"I'm so glad I risked my life to come to the Nameless Emperor's Tomb this year! To think I'd see someone who came from the Supreme Heaven with my very eyes!"

While the spectators there mumbled to each other, Yuan remained relatively calm as he asked, "Oh? I didn't think someone from such a place would be interested in the Nameless Emperor's Tomb. Surely, you're not here for the treasures?"

Long Chen chuckled, "Of course not. The treasures here are as common as tableware in the Supreme Heaven."

"I can't tell you the exact reason why I am down here, but I am searching for a specific individual, but since we're essentially looking with a blindfold on, I decided to spend some time in this place."

'As expected, he's here to look for me…' Yuan sighed inwardly.

"I see… Then I won't bother you anymore. Good luck with your searches." Yuan was prepared to leave as soon as possible since nothing good will come out of staying around these people who were on a manhunt for him.

"Wait a minute. How can you leave already? I still have so much to talk about." Long Chen quickly stopped him.

"If you want to talk, we can do so another time. This place may mean nothing to you, but it means everything to me, and unfortunately, our time here is limited, so I won't entertain you anymore."

"Such insolence! I can no longer ignore your arrogance! Who do you think you are talking to?!"

One of the individuals behind Long Chen suddenly shouted.

Yuan glanced at this person and casually said, "Now that you mention it, I don't know. Care to enlighten me?"

"This bastard—"

"Stop." Long Chen glared at this individual with a serious expression.

"Ignore him, Xiao Yang. Once again, I am Long Chen— one of Four Dragons and Phoenixes. Most people in the upper heavens call me Silver Dragon."

"Silver Dragon? So you're a dragon?" Yuan asked, his interest piqued.

Long Chen shook his head, "Silver Dragon is just a title— one given to those who have been recognized as the most talented in our generation. Amongst the Four Dragons and Phoenixes, only three of them are actually from the Dragon Clan. With that being said, I do have some dragon blood in me. In the Supreme Heaven, the surname 'Long' is mostly reserved for those in the Dragon Clan, after all."

"Oh? So you're a half-dragon?" Yuan asked with an intrigued look on his face.

"H-Hey! That's—!" The group behind suddenly had terrified looks on their faces when they heard the word 'half-dragon'.

Long Chen's eyebrows twitched as a reaction, but he remained calm.

"Since you're not from the Supreme Heavens, I cannot blame you for not knowing, but most people who do not have pure blood would charge at you for using that term. They consider it derogatory."

"Is that so? I will keep that in mind, and I apologize if I offended you."

Long Chen shook his head, "Anyways, I have had this question on my mind since I first saw you…"

His gaze lowered, staring at the Golden Dragon Robe.

"Which Dragon Clan do you belong to?"

"I don't belong to any Dragon Clan."

"What? Then where did you acquire that uniform? If it wasn't given to you by the Dragon Clan, I highly suggest you return it to them. If they learn that a human is walking around with the Golden Dragon Robe, they'll hunt you down like a criminal on death row." Long Chen frowned.

"Then you don't have to worry. It was definitely given to me by the Dragon Clan. Although we're friends, I wouldn't say that I belong to their clan." Yuan said, unaware of the significance behind his outfit.

'Seriously…? Which family would hand out the Golden Dragon Robe to someone that isn't even part of the Dragon Clan? This will easily invoke the wrath of the other clans if they find out…' Long Chen couldn't imagine something like this happening.

After all, an ordinary family within the Dragon Clan wouldn't have something like the Golden Dragon Robe, as only those with royal blood are allowed to possess the outfit.

'In the first place, there are no families with royal blood in the Third Heaven, so he couldn't have possibly gotten it from here. Is he lying about the fact that he didn't come from the upper heavens? Or is he lying about how he acquired the Golden Dragon Robe?' Long Chen pondered with a serious expression on his face, hoping that it was the former reason.

After a moment of silence, Long Chen spoke, "If you don't mind, can you tell me the surname of the family that gave you that robe? I know I am asking a lot of questions, but this is for your own good."

Yuan nodded and responded calmly, "Their surname is 'Xi'."

"The Xi Family?! Impossible!" Long Chen cried out loud after hearing this unexpected information.

Yuan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why do you look like you just saw a ghost?"

"B-Before I answer your question, allow me to confirm what I just heard… The family that gave you the Golden Dragon Robe is the Xi Family?"

Yuan silently nodded.

Long Chen fell silent again.

"Are you going to tell me that they don't exist or something?" Yuan asked.

"No… There definitely exists a Xi Family with royal blood within the Dragon Clan. However, they have been missing for thousands of years now. Are you sure it's the Xi Family?"

"Xi Shengmo." Yuan suddenly uttered the name of the Dragon Emperor.

Long Chen's eyes immediately lit up after hearing this familiar name.

'That's the Xi Family's Dragon Emperor's name! However, that isn't solid proof that he really met with them…'

"Can you tell me where the Xi Family is right now?" He then asked.
