Chapter 5,778: "Colorful Wings, Uncharted Paths"

Long Chen's words startled Luo Yanfeng and the others. They had all relaxed and were preparing to rest, but they immediately tensed up and gripped their weapons tightly.

*Buzz*

Suddenly, the void trembled slightly, like ripples on water, slowly spreading out, and a figure slowly materialized.

This was a fair-faced and handsome man with long hair. If it weren't for the horns on his head, one might mistake him for a human. His aura was extremely faint, almost undetectable unless one paid close attention. What was strange about his aura was that it didn't inspire fear or repulsion.

This man had an elegant and refined demeanor, resembling a scholar. Compared to the brutal and ruthless strong members of the demon race, he didn't seem like a demon at all.

However, despite his appearance, everyone felt a sense of danger from him. They thought he appeared harmless, but he was definitely a formidable individual.

Thinking about how seemingly harmless he was, everyone couldn't help but glance at Long Chen. Long Chen, like that man, had a refined and gentle appearance, like a boy next door. However, in reality, when he took action, he was a deadly threat.

"So powerful? I used my life's concealment technique, and you still detected me. Are you sure you're not trying to deceive me?" The man appeared, looking at Long Chen with surprise.

There was no trace of hostility or killing intent in the man's aura. His expression and tone left Luo Yanfeng and the others dumbfounded. Was this guy really a demon?

"The moment we started fighting with those guys, you showed up. Do you think I'm trying to deceive you?" Long Chen said casually.

Long Chen then signaled for everyone to put away their weapons. With him here, there was no need to act like they were facing a formidable enemy.

"That's amazing. I used my concealment technique, which is virtually undetectable even by mid-level Divine Emperors in our camp," the man admitted.

"The reason I was able to detect you is twofold. First, I've killed too many members of the demon race, which has given me a unique perception. Second, among my friends, there's one who belongs to the same race as you. So, when you appeared, I sensed you," Long Chen explained.

"Your friend? You, a human, have made friends with the demon race?" The man couldn't help but be surprised.

Long Chen smiled faintly without answering. In the Wine God Palace, there was indeed a member of the Winged Demon race.

Although the man had concealed his aura and soul fluctuations, Long Chen still recognized that he was from the Winged Demon race. However, the Winged Demon race was too vast, with endless branches, and Long Chen couldn't determine which specific branch this man belonged to. Nevertheless, the man's aura was vast and unfathomable, making him a master among masters.

"Interesting. I didn't expect that before leaving this place, I would encounter such an interesting human," the man couldn't help but laugh.

"Likewise, I didn't expect to meet such an interesting demon on the battlefield," Long Chen also chuckled.

"I am Caiyi Yingwudao," the man introduced himself.

The moment he mentioned his name, Luo Yanfeng and the others exclaimed, "Caiyi Winged Demon Royal Family, the main bloodline of the Winged Demon Clan!"

In the Purple Blood Clan's textbooks, the Caiyi Winged Demon Clan was extensively documented as a renowned royal family during the Chaos Era. Although the Golden Winged Demon Clan was also a royal family among the Winged Demons, they were just a collateral branch. The Caiyi Winged Demon Clan was the true royal lineage, and during the Chaos Era, they were dominant. When this self-proclaimed Yingwudao appeared, their hearts sank because they realized that they were dealing with the royal lineage of the Winged Demon Clan.

Long Chen was also surprised. He had heard of the Caiyi Winged Demon Clan before. After all, he had killed so many members of the demon race, and they were mortal enemies. There were certain things he needed to know.

"I'm a bit puzzled. Since you are from the Caiyi Winged Demon Clan, why are you mingling with a bunch of riffraff?" Long Chen couldn't help but ask.

"A long story for another time," Yingwudao sighed. Suddenly, he produced two gourds, handing one to Long Chen.

Without saying a word, Yingwudao opened his gourd and took a sip. The fragrance of wine filled the air, and Long Chen saw this. Without any hesitation, he also opened his gourd and took a sip. This action made Luo Yanfeng and the others uneasy. After all, this was an enemy, a demon. Could they really drink what he offered? What if it was poison? Drinking it might cost them their lives.

Seeing Long Chen drink without hesitation, Yingwudao remained expressionless but had a hint of fanaticism in his eyes.

"Blah…" However, as soon as the wine reached his mouth, Long Chen spat it out.

"This stuff is called wine?" Long Chen curled his lips and tossed the gourd away. With a wave of his hand, two wine jars appeared, and he threw one to Yingwudao.

Yingwudao took the wine jar and saw Long Chen raise his jar into the air. Although he opened it, there was no fragrance of wine wafting out. Nevertheless, without hesitation, he took a sip.

"Good wine," Yingwudao exclaimed with a satisfied expression.

"Of course, this is wine from the Wine God Palace," Long Chen said with a smile.

"Wine God Palace? The legendary place?" Yingwudao was greatly surprised, clearly aware of the existence of the Wine God Palace.

"Haha, I didn't expect this. I truly didn't expect to meet such an interesting human and taste the legendary wine before leaving. Fortunately, I didn't leave too early, or I would have missed this opportunity," Yingwudao laughed heartily, taking a few more sips and showing a contented expression.

Seeing Yingwudao and Long Chen drinking together, Luo Yanfeng and the others were concerned. They knew that if the news of Long Chen drinking with a demon spread, Long Chen would be accused of colluding with the enemy. So, they exchanged glances and stationed a few people to keep watch to prevent anyone from the Purple Blood Clan from seeing Long Chen drinking with a demon, as that could lead to serious consequences.

"I initially thought there would be a life-and-death battle between us. From your tone, it seems different from what I expected," Long Chen said. This Yingwu Dao was extremely powerful, enough to make Long Chen wary. However, at their level of strength, they typically didn't resort to conspiracy and tricks.

"When the Nine Heavens were interconnected, I wanted to leave the world of the Floating World where we are now. However, at that time, you of the Purple Blood Clan happened to be at war, and they were collecting the Purple Blood power to help the new generation of disciples cultivate. So, I stayed a bit longer to see if I could gain some benefits. But they were wary of me at every turn. They kept the meat sealed for their freaks, and the soup was left for the fools on the battlefield. As for me, I got nothing. If I didn't leave, what would be the point?" Yingwu Dao shook his head.

Long Chen was puzzled and asked cautiously, "So, you mean they aren't of your lineage?"

"Of course not. They're nothing more than a bunch of beggars among the demon race," Yingwu Dao sneered. He took another sip of wine and looked at Long Chen. "In exchange for this fine wine, I'll tell you a secret about them. We'll call it even."
