sn’t like being disturbed by others, so I never had a chance.” Long Chen was delighted.

The High Priest was the master of the Wine God Palace.
He was claimed to be an apostle of the Wine God sent to spread his glory.
He was an extremely mysterious existence.

There was another banquet when the sky darkened, but Zi Yan refused Xia Yunchong’s invitation and did not attend.

Instead, it was Xia Youluo who had pulled her away.
Most likely, she had gone to show off her battle spoils from the Wine God Palace.

The night banquet ended with an extremely calm atmosphere.
The next morning, Long Chen received Zi Yan’s invitation to go to the Wine God Palace.

Not only were Long Chen and Zi Yan going, but Xia Youluo, Xia Yunchong, Han Wenjun, and Li Wanji were also coming with them.
When the six of them burned incense in front of the Wine God’s image, nothing happened with the others, but the incense sticks that Long Chen lit once more turned to ash instantly, shocking the others.

“Everyone, please come in.
The High Priest is already waiting for you in the divine hall.”

The disciple in charge of greeting guests led the way.
Everyone followed him into the Wine God Palace.

Zi Yan was the lead this time.
The others were only accompanying her.
It had to be known that the High Priest was not someone that just anyone could see.
Even the emperor himself couldn’t see him whenever he wished.

The Grand Xia’s emperor had held power for many years, but he had only seen the High Priest once.
Others didn’t even have the qualification.

Because Zi Yan was a disciple of the Illusive Music Immortal Palace, she had already sent a greeting many days ago and gained permission to see the High Priest.
Long Chen and the others were just profiting off her.

Originally, Xia Yunfeng and the other princes had also wanted to come, but they hadn’t succeeded.
If too many people went, it would be too impolite.

So there were two from the Grand Xia, two from the Grand Han.
Adding on Long Chen as well as the host, Zi Yan, there were already quite a few people.
If any more came, it would appear that they were lacking respect for the High Priest.

The path they were taking was the same small path that Long Chen and Xia Youluo had taken before.
It stripped them of their cultivation base.
They slowly followed it through a winding forest.

“The Wine God Palace truly is a wonderland within the human world.
The secluded and winding path, the small pavilions hidden in the mountains, it’s almost similar to my Grand Han’s Hidden Immortal Island,” praised Han Wenjun as he looked at the surrounding scenery.

Long Chen sneered inside.
This was truly shameless.
Long Chen looked at Han Wenjun acting like a refined scholar without saying anything.

But Xia Yunchong couldn’t help but open his mouth.
“Prince Wenjun’s comparison is a bit off.
The Wine God Palace has a true god’s inheritance, while your Hidden Immortal Island only has a few myths circulating around it.
It seems the difference between them is too great to compare.”

The Grand Han’s Hidden Immortal Island was nothing more than an island with beautiful scenery.
In order to make the island more famous, they had fabricated a mass of contrived divine stories involving it.

Then they had made a few ‘ancient relics’ on the island.
Then looking over the entire Martial Heaven Continent, they had picked out famous figures and tossed a few traces of those figures on the island.
They would cry: look, that grand figure actually came from my Grand Han!

They had no foundation, so they randomly made up whatever they wanted.
That greatly dissatisfied the Grand Xia, which was why Xia Yunchong couldn’t help but retort.

“All those myths happened too long ago, and there’s no way to confirm them.
We can’t say with absolute certainty that there was no true immortal on Hidden Immortal Island, so it’s too early for you to say that.
Furthermore, I only said that the scenery was similar.
Brother Yunchong misconstrued my words.” Although he couldn’t match Long Chen, that didn’t represent that Han Wenjun didn’t know how to quibble.

When comparing eloquence, Long Chen could make Han Wenjun choke with a single sentence.
And Han Wenjun had the same ability when it came to Xia Yunchong.
Xia Yunchong had no way to retort.

“Esteemed guest has returned.
Please accept this bow from this disciple.”

When they reached the first pavilion, the man from back then was standing in front of it and bowed toward Long Chen.

That made everyone jump.
What was going on? Since when did the Wine God Palace’s disciples bow to others?

Long Chen hastily raised him and bitterly smiled.
They were all grand figures with the ability to shake heaven and earth, while he was just a swindler.

Last time, he hadn’t known about the origins of the Wine God Palace’s disciples.
When he had learned about it, he had begun to coldly sweat.

“I really don’t dare to accept such a thing,” said Long Chen humbly.

“Disciple came to a sudden comprehension due to your pointers.
The shackles on my heart were broken, and the clouds and dust were swept away.
I’ve been waiting every day for you to return so that disciple can thank you.
Within the next few days, disciple will be going on a journey of enlightenment, so esteemed guest’s arrival has fulfilled disciple’s desire,” said the Wine God Palace’s disciple.

He once more bowed respectfully toward Long Chen and vanished from their sight.
Other than Xia Youluo, the others had no idea what was going on.

What kind of joke was this? The Wine God Palace’s disciples were all incomparably prideful people.
For them to bow toward a youth, and even call themselves disciple, had this world gone insane?

Even Zi Yan was no exception.
A bright light shone in her eyes when she looked at Long Chen, making him feel embarrassed.
He said, “In truth, it was just a coincidence.
I don’t know what random thing I spouted, but this senior managed to enlighten himself through it.
It was just his fortune and had nothing to do with me.”

They continued onward.
As a result, people continued to come out of the pavilions they passed to say their regards to Long Chen, making them speechless.
Was Long Chen’s relationship with other people really so good?

“Damn brat, you’ve finally returned.
Get over here, let’s fight another three hundred bouts!”

Suddenly, a huge figure appeared in front of them, causing them to jump in shock.
