Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts-Chapter 6905 Kidnap

“Hey, don’t give me that wicked smile! Just tell me what you want for my... thing!” Green Old Sixth exclaimed, its feathers bristling when it saw Long Chen’s evil grin.

Long Chen said, “You know I’m generous with my friends. But some people are just too much. No matter how well you treat them, they always take advantage of you...”

When Green Old Sixth heard this, it realized Long Chen was upset. It thought it had grabbed the stone, but it was still in Long Chen’s hand.

Long Chen continued, “So, I’ll do things your way. Since this isn’t about friendship, it’s business. I won’t make it difficult for you. I just need a helper. If you fight for me once when I ask, I’ll give you the stone.”

Actually, as soon as Long Chen got the stone, he planned to use it this way. He even thought about how to contact the parrot, but it had shown up on its own.

“You want me to be your free fighter?!” Green Old Sixth raged.

“Free? When have you ever done anything for free? Think about how much you’ve taken from me compared to what you’ve given in return. Last time you said we were even, did I argue? You really are a bad bird. If you want the deal, take it. If not, scram! I found this thing, so even if I threw it into a dung pit, it’s my business, not yours. Of course, if you want to try taking it by force, go ahead. And you can guess if I can destroy it or not!”

Long Chen poked the parrot’s head and cursed at it. Honestly, he didn’t like working with this evil bird. But the Six Dao Stone was one of the ten great primal chaos divine items, and he needed its help.

After Long Chen cursed at it, the parrot seemed to reflect instead of getting angry. It amicably said, “Don’t be so emotional. We’re old friends, so there’s no need for such harsh words. Who knows what could happen in the future? You never know when you’ll need help, so just tell me what you need. I won’t take advantage of you. But using my own thing to threaten me... sob sob. That really hurts my heart... You know, I’m generous and emotional too... sob sob.”

The parrot actually managed to sob a few times. Long Chen had the urge to smack it down and step on it a few times. Which idiot would believe its nonsense?

Still, it looked like the parrot agreed to the deal. That showed how much the stone mattered to it. It didn’t even try to bargain and just accepted Long Chen’s condition.

The parrot knew that Long Chen was an old, clever fox. If Long Chen discovered how valuable this stone was, he would ask for an even more outrageous price.

So, the parrot had to give in for now. Its goal was to get the stone back.

Whether out of embarrassment or a desire to save face, the parrot then turned toward the High Priest and said, “Hey, old man, you’re quite strong. But this Old Sixth hasn’t shown its full power yet! If I had, you wouldn’t stand a chance!”

The High Priest simply smiled and said, “Mister Long Chen, I leave the matter of the Devil Suppressing Illusion Realm to you. My Wine God Palace will support you with our full might.”

The High Priest left just like that. The Devil Suppressing Illusion Realm was of utmost importance, whether it was to the Wine God Palace or Long Chen, but the High Priest still left everything to Long Chen. It was all up to Long Chen whether he would even go. He just needed to tell the High Priest what he needed.

The High Priest's attitude startled Zi Nuo. He still didn’t understand who Long Chen was or why the High Priest held him in such high regard. After all, the High Priest hadn’t shared any information about Long Chen.

Still, Long Chen understood the High Priest’s intentions. The Devil Suppressing Illusion Realm was a crucial test for both the Wine God Palace’s disciples and for Long Chen. It was their chance to grow.

Considering the Zither Sect’s involvement, it couldn’t be a coincidence. This had to be fate at work.

After thinking for a moment, Long Chen said, “Brother Zi Nuo, it seems we’ll take a trip to the Devil Suppressing Illusion Realm. But before that, I need to make some preparations and take care of some business. Do you want to stay in the Wine God Palace or come with me?”

Zi Nuo hesitated. “I-I’ve never left the Wine God Palace. I want to see the outside world with Brother Long, but... the High Priest...”

Zi Nuo was deeply tempted. After all, the Wine God Palace had always been isolated from the outside world, so he longed to see what life was like beyond its walls.

Long Chen replied, “The times have changed. The High Priest will agree, so you can ask him. You should also mention the other disciples. If any of your brothers or sisters want to see the world, they can come along as well.”

“Really?” Zi Nuo asked, looking rather apprehensive.

Long Chen simply smiled and gestured Zi Nuo to go. The latter would know once he asked the High Priest.

Inside the palace, the High Priest was lighting incense for the Wine God when Zi Nuo arrived. Before he could speak, the High Priest lit three incense sticks and gave them to him.

Zi Nuo reverently accepted them, kowtowed to the Wine God, and then placed the incense sticks into the censer.

The High Priest glanced at Zi Nuo and sighed softly. He then patted his shoulder and said, "Child, I apologize for being so strict with you all these years!”

Zi Nuo was taken aback, having never experienced such warmth from the High Priest before. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

He quickly responded, “High Priest, I know your strictness is for my own benefit! I truly understand!"

“Good child. You are the most exceptional disciple in the history of the Wine God Palace. You are the only one who might someday reach the heights that the Wine God once attained!”

“Disciple does not dare! How could disciple possibly compare to the Wine God?” Zi Nuo exclaimed, jumping in shock at that statement.

“Don’t be nervous. If you can match the Wine God or even surpass the Wine God, the Wine God will be overjoyed,” the High Priest said. “Long Chen calls you brother. In the Wine God Palace, we don’t call each other like that, so you might not be able to understand the real meaning of this word.”

“The real meaning? Isn’t it just a courteous way of calling someone?”

The High Priest shook his head and explained, “For someone like Long Chen, once he calls you brother, it means that he views you as a life-and-death comrade. If you are in any danger, he will not hesitate to sacrifice his life to save you!”

“That’s...” Zi Nuo was shocked, swept up in a wave of emotions. Only now did he realize just how much weight there was behind this word.

In fact, he even felt ashamed. When Long Chen patted his shoulder, he felt embarrassed by that “impolite” conduct. However, by that time, Long Chen already regarded him as a brother.

“You can bring all the other disciples who greeted Long Chen with you. Long Chen will bring you all across a new path,” said the High Priest.

After Zi Nuo departed, the High Priest couldn’t help but sigh. Watching Zi Nuo’s embarrassed and emotional retreat, he whispered to himself.

“Long Chen isn’t the Star Master, and Zi Nuo isn’t the Wine God. What conclusions will arise from them this time?”
