Nine Star Hegemon Body Art - Chapter 5781

Long Chen was about to greet this group when they spotted him and immediately burst into mocking laughter.

“Oh, look, it’s devil seed, hahaha!”

To put it bluntly, they were calling him nothing more than breeding stock—a pig or a cow meant solely for reproduction. In other words, the once-powerful emperor rainbow wing race had fallen so low that their only value was in spreading their seed. It was truly a lamentable sight.

“Wow, you actually lived to return? If you work harder next time, maybe you can all die!” Long Chen shot back without hesitation.

The group before Long Chen consisted of a few hundred devil experts, none of whom seemed particularly powerful. If they had encountered Luo Yanfeng and the others, they would have been slaughtered in an instant.

Seeing them covered in wounds and blood, they had most likely just fled from the violet blood race’s disciples.

Based on the devil race’s rules, once a group lost half their numbers, they had to immediately flee. However, if they hadn’t lost half their numbers and already fled, then they would be executed for cowardice.

For such disgraced individuals to mock Ying Wudao, it was clear just how low his status was within the devil race.

It went without saying that Ying Wudao was not just powerful—his ability to endure humiliation was astonishing. If Long Chen were in his place, he wouldn’t have lasted a single day.

“That old line again?” Long Chen rolled his eyes. “How could it possibly not be related? If you die, I’ll have to go find your mother and make sure she gets my seed. We can’t let the bloodline of our devil race come to an end, now can we?”

“You…!” The devil expert was instantly enraged and reached for his weapon, only for his companions to hurriedly restrain him.

“Why bother with him? Let him act tough. He’s got those women backing him anyway,” one of them sneered.

The furious devil expert clenched his teeth and pointed at Long Chen. “Ying Wudao, don’t think having someone else’s support makes you great! To everyone here, you’re just a dog! A dog that exists only to breed!”

“If Ying Wudao is a dog, and all of you carry the blood of the rainbow wing race, doesn’t that make you part dog as well?” Long Chen said disdainfully, deliberately referring to Ying Wudao in the third person.

However, none of them seemed to notice this. Instead, they were glaring at Long Chen with murderous intent.

“What is this nonsense? The defeated still have the gall to act so arrogant? What face do you have left?”

A sharp voice cut through the commotion. The loud arguing had drawn the attention of an elder standing guard at a massive gate, and his reprimand silenced the group instantly.

However, the moment the elder laid eyes on Long Chen, his expression darkened.

“Ying Wudao? Who allowed you to leave the city?!” he bellowed angrily.

Seeing the elder target Long Chen, the other devil experts immediately smirked in delight.

Long Chen put on a righteously indignant expression. He said, “As a member of the devil race, I wish to fight for our tribe! I want to kill our enemies on the front lines too!”

The elder let out a sharp laugh. “You’re so weak that even a chicken could kill you. How do you plan on killing anyone?”

“Hahaha!” The other devils burst into uproarious laughter.

Long Chen clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. He protested, “You refuse to let me fight, and you refuse to give me any benefits. Just what do you want from me?!”

The elder sneered, “Hurry up and return into the embrace of your female masters. Serve them well, and if you can have children, they will naturally give you some benefits.”

“You…”

Long Chen trembled in feigned rage, while the elder simply snorted and dismissed him.

The elder said, “Get lost. If you sneak out again, you’ll be imprisoned.”

Clearly, even the elder was wary of Ying Wudao’s mistresses. It seemed this “little fellow” was well-known for his skills in certain areas. Several powerful, monstrous females had taken a liking to him, and given the possibility that the future leader of the tribe might emerge from their ranks, the elder didn’t dare to go too far.

Although this elder looked down on Ying Wudao, the elder didn’t dare to offend him too much. What if one day he suddenly soared? Then the elder would be in a difficult position.

Despite their disdain, no one dared to outright punish Ying Wudao for sneaking out of the city. As the saying went, it was always wise to leave some room for the future.

Long Chen gloomily left. But inwardly, he was overjoyed. He had infiltrated the city far more easily than he had expected!

Once he was gone, the elder immediately summoned his trusted subordinates and berated them harshly.

The elder scolded, “The rainbow wing race’s experts must never be allowed to leave the city! If Ying Wudao hadn’t returned on his own, I would have been the one to bear the blame!”

That was the real reason he had let Ying Wudao off so easily. He wanted to avoid punishment himself.

The scolding lasted a full hour, and the elder’s spit practically drowned his subordinates. By the time he was done, he ordered them to tighten surveillance over the rainbow wing race. If something like this happened again, they wouldn’t live to see another day.

Meanwhile, Long Chen had already blended into the city. Calling it a “city” was an overstatement—it was little more than a tribal settlement, with few structures of note.

According to Ying Wudao’s map, the heart of this city should be the entrance to their underground cavern.

Now that Long Chen was here, he was much more relaxed. Per Ying Wudao, aside from a few restricted locations, his status allowed Long Chen to move freely.

As Long Chen casually wandered through the streets, a cold snort suddenly reached his ears. Turning his head, Long Chen saw a handsome man glaring at him. The man’s arm was entwined with a woman’s.

Long Chen was baffled. This man was just like Ying Wudao—a rainbow winged devil.

What stunned Long Chen, however, was the woman’s appearance. She had protruding tusks, abnormally large nostrils, and scarlet lips that covered nearly half her face. She was, by far, one of the ugliest existences he had ever laid eyes on.

However, her aura was terrifying. Her strength was undoubtedly on par with the devil race’s battlefield guardians—those who stood guard on their own.

Perhaps only experts of this caliber were qualified to enjoy the company of the rainbow wing race.

Yet, despite being from the same race as Ying Wudao, the handsome man did not show Long Chen even the slightest friendliness. Instead, his eyes burned with jealousy and disgust, like a dog baring its teeth at an intruder.

Long Chen frowned. No wonder Ying Wudao wanted to wipe out this entire tribe, including the rainbow wing race members living here. It seemed that, aside from Ying Wudao, the rest of them had truly been trained into obedient dogs.

“Wudao!”

Just then, a voice rang out.

Long Chen turned to see a middle-aged woman approaching. The moment the couple saw her, they hastily fled.
