Sure, here's the translation of the Chinese novel excerpt:

"Gulp!"

The Great Elder of the Xuanqi Sect watched the scene before him, utterly shaken to the core, involuntarily swallowing.

He then muttered to himself, "Heavenly Person Riding Dragon! The legendary Heavenly Person Riding Dragon!"

"Heavenly Person Zhang, truly a Heavenly Person Descending, a celestial dusting off the world!"

"This old man humbly bids farewell to Heavenly Person Zhang!"

As the Great Elder of the Xuanqi Sect spoke, he bowed deeply!

More than just the Great Elder of the Xuanqi Sect, everyone present was completely stunned!

No one could have imagined that Zhang Xiaoshan would ascend to the heavens in such a manner!

In the vast high sky, Zhang Xiaoshan stood with hands behind his back, beneath him was a snow-white Heavenly Dragon Illusion.

The Xuanqi Sect's treasure, Carefree Travel Jade, not only could manifest wings behind one, but also allowed for this technique of Heavenly Person Riding Dragon.

But Li Chengfeng's abilities were limited, he could only barely manage to manifest wings behind him for flight.

Using the technique of Heavenly Person Riding Dragon to travel, Zhang Xiaoshan was moving through the sea of clouds at an extreme speed!

Soon, alarms were being triggered all over the military front.

In a military command center, numerous military leaders looked at the surveillance footage with peculiar expressions.

"Report to Commander, an unidentified flying object traveling at hypersonic speed has been detected in Huaxia's airspace, awaiting your instructions!"

A soldier looked towards Commander Lu in the hall, reporting earnestly.

Commander Lu, whose temples were grizzled, had weathered many storms.

Even in encounters with unexpected situations, he remained composed and unshaken.

"What is this unidentified flying object, approximately?"

Commander Lu looked towards the numerous technical staff, asking seriously.

Upon his inquiry, the numerous technical staff looked troubled.

Seeing this, Commander Lu was somewhat perplexed.

No matter what was flying in the sky, these people should just report honestly, he thought there was nothing too difficult about it.

After a long while, the chief engineer spoke reluctantly.

"Report, Commander!"

"Radar detected the target's flight speed surpassing the world's most advanced aircraft."

"Moreover, the target was very small, appearing and disappearing intermittently, a flying object like this defies scientific conventions."

If others jest about something being unscientific, it might be a joke.

But the chief engineer stating that the radar found the target unscientific meant it truly was unscientific.

After all, the target was exceedingly small, even smaller than an aviation engine.

How could such a small target possess such terrifying flying speed?

Commander Lu pondered for a moment, then asked again.

"Then, what is your suggestion?"

Upon hearing the commander inquire, the chief engineer dared not be neglectful and immediately responded.

"My suggestion is to intercept!"

Upon his suggestion, Commander Lu immediately concurred.

"Then intercept!"

Commander Lu's order was swiftly conveyed through the ranks.

Along Zhang Xiaoshan's advance path, multiple missile silos quickly entered launch phases.

In no time, several hypersonic missiles launched from the silos, intercepting towards Zhang Xiaoshan.

Zhang Xiaoshan was still traveling at the moment, but instantly detected the emergence of hypersonic missiles around him.

He pondered for a moment and swiftly understood the situation.

His current flight speed was too fast, definitely mistaken for an unidentified flying object being attacked.

However, the speed of Heavenly Person Riding Dragon was truly too fast.

Even the most advanced hypersonic missiles couldn't catch a glimpse of him when he was in full flight.

Zhang Xiaoshan had no intention of going down to explain, he immediately accelerated again.

"Buzz!"

The Heavenly Dragon Illusion seemed to become more solid at that moment.

Following that, Zhang Xiaoshan's figure became even swifter.

In the command center, the faces of numerous technical personnel suddenly turned extremely grim.

The chief engineer looked as if he'd seen a ghost, his speech was extremely difficult.

"Report, Commander!"

"Target lost!"

The words 'target lost' spoken by the chief engineer were exceedingly heavy.

The atmosphere in the command center turned very heavy.

However, at that moment, a young technician nervously raised his hand.

"Speak."

Commander Lu nodded, signaling to the young technician to speak.

"Report, Commander."

"I just called up satellite composite images and roughly restored the target's outline."

"The target we were tracking and intercepting seems to be a person."

Upon hearing this, both Commander Lu and the chief engineer exploded with rage!

This was simply nonsense, how could a person be an object flying at such speeds?

"Xiao Zheng, sit down, don't speak randomly."

Commander Lu gestured for the young technician to sit down.

But at that moment, a staff member from the National Protection Bureau entered the command center.

"Commander Lu, there's no need to intercept this target."

"What the young technician said was also correct, the target you lost track of earlier was indeed a person."

"He is now heading to the Northwest Commerce."

The National Protection Bureau was quite aware of Zhang Xiaoshan's movements.

While Commander Lu didn't know what they were tracking, the National Protection Bureau had already received messages from Wei Hu.
