Nine Star Hegemony Technique

52 The Bird in the Cage
"Seven Princes"

Long Chen really didn't expect that the person who came to see him turned out to be the Seventh Prince. Since the last time he was in the Taixue Palace and had an unpleasant experience, he never had any interaction with him again.

But the Seventh Prince is Chu Yao's younger brother, and Long Chen felt a little sorry for what happened last time, after all, he is his future brother-in-law.

"Brother Long, why don't you call me Chu Feng?" The Seventh Prince hurriedly got up and said, with a very respectful attitude, as if he was a different person from the previous domineering appearance.

From Chu Yao's mouth, Long Chen learned that Chu Feng's character is not bad, but he just tried to cover himself and act like a fool to make himself safer.

"I'm sorry about what happened last time." Long Chen nodded, patted Chu Feng's shoulder and said.

"Brother Long is serious," Chu Feng hurriedly said humbly.

Long Chen picked up the teapot on the table, poured two cups of tea, handed a cup to Chu Feng and said, "What's the matter with you this time?"

This time when Chu Feng came, he didn't wear the prince's clothes, but a brocade robe, which looked like the clothes of ordinary princes.

"Brother Long...this..." Chu Feng wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth a few times and didn't say it.

"Say something straight," Long Chen looked at Chu Feng and said.

Chu Feng hesitated for a moment, took a deep breath and said, "Today, the queen mother announced that my sister will marry Xia Changfeng, and the date will be set on the first day of October."

"Snapped"

Although he was prepared in his heart, when he heard the news, Long Chen was still full of blood, the cup in his hand was crushed, and the hot tea splashed all over his body.

The killing intent could not help rolling in the eyes, and the whole room immediately seemed to have fallen into an ice cellar, and Chu Yang couldn't help feeling chills.

At this time, Long Chen was like an enraged fierce beast, which could violently kill people at any time, and the killing intent was a hundred times stronger than that day in Taixue Palace.

"Is this serious?" Long Chen gritted his teeth and asked.

Chu Feng nodded. Under the pressure of Long Chen, he found it difficult to speak.

"court death"

Long Chen was extremely angry. That day he responded to Chu Yao in front of everyone in the capital, which was equivalent to telling everyone that Chu Yao was his woman.

He didn't rely on Master Yun Qi's relationship to propose to Chu Yao, that was to give the Empress Dowager enough face, let her have a step down, and didn't want to embarrass her too much.

But I didn't expect her to marry Chu Yao to Xia Changfeng resolutely, completely disregarding Long Chen's feelings and Master Yun Qi's face. This is simply too deceitful.

"Brother Long, my sister has been lonely all her life, and she always wears a mask, but I know her well. If I let her marry Xia Changfeng, it will kill her.

Brother Long, I beg you, please save my sister." After speaking, Chu Feng knelt down to Long Chen with tears in his eyes.

"What are you doing, hurry up"

Long Chen pulled Chu Feng up and said, "Since I promised, even if I die, I will keep my promise, don't worry."

Hearing what Long Chen said, Chu Feng couldn't help being moved. Living in the inner courtyard of the palace, he has everything, but there is no such word as trust.

"Your sister hasn't been out for a while, is she under house arrest?" Long Chen asked.

Chu Feng nodded and said: "Yes, since the last time I went back, my sister has been under house arrest in the palace, and the queen mother does not allow her to leave the door."

Long Chen's face was livid, it seems that the Queen Mother didn't take Master Yun Qi seriously at all, this old hag, you have to wait for me.

"Can you see your sister?" Long Chen asked.

"Yes, the Empress Dowager just forbids her to go out, not for others to visit. As a younger brother, they dare not stop me," Chu Feng replied.

"That's good, count the days, the first day of October, there is still more than a month, we still have enough time.

Three days later, at Huayun Pavilion's annual auction, I will try my best to get the Molten Star Grass to solve your sister's physical troubles, please let her wait for me, and don't do anything stupid," Long Chen said seriously.

Chu Feng was overjoyed and thanked Long Chen a thousand times, making Long Chen extremely uncomfortable.

"Chu Feng, let me see your dantian"

Long Chen had some doubts in his heart, and put his hand on Chu Feng's shoulder, and the spiritual energy poured in, slowly pouring into his dantian.

There are indeed ghosts!

Long Chen discovered that although Chu Feng's dantian did not have the shackles of Chu Yao, there was a foreign object above the dantian on the spiritual root.

It was a thing that was almost invisible to the naked eye. If Long Chen had preconceived it, it would be difficult to find it.

"be patient"

"puff"

Long Chen's spiritual energy was stimulated, but Chu Feng felt a pain in his lower abdomen, a small blood column spurted out, and a fine hair needle appeared in Long Chen's hand.

"It's actually the Nether Feather Needle, it's really vicious enough."

A sneer appeared on Long Chen's face. This Nether Feather Needle was originally a needle for treating yang poison. It contains yin poison, which can relieve yang poison, neutralize toxicity, and facilitate detoxification.

However, if such a dark feather needle is placed in the dantian of a normal person, the spiritual roots of the dantian will be eroded by viciousness for a long time, making it impossible to practice at all.

Checking Chu Feng's dantian again, Long Chen couldn't help sighing. Due to the long-term erosion of insidiousness, his spiritual roots have dropped in rank. Otherwise, his talent would definitely not be much worse than Chu Yao.

"Chu Feng, I will get rid of this poisonous needle for you. You can practice after you go back, but you must be careful to hide it. I will give you a few hidden breath pills. Take one every seven days. No one will find out." Long Chen handed Chu Feng a jade bottle.

In his spare time, Long Chen would refine some other elixirs, which would be of great help to him now.

However, Long Chen didn't tell Chu Feng that his spiritual root had been eroded so badly that he might end up at the Blood Coagulation Realm. Long Chen couldn't say this cruel fact.

While regretting, I also feel even more disgusted with a group of tigers and wolves in human skin like the royal family.

"I can practice?" Chu Feng couldn't believe it. He always thought that he was a natural waste, so he couldn't help being ecstatic.

Long Chen can understand Chu Feng's mood, and he, who also bears the name of waste, has a deep understanding.

"Well, but be careful to cover up your eyes and ears." Long Chen pointed out, although he knew that the two of them were definitely careful enough, but it's still the same sentence, there is no big mistake in being careful.

After sending away the excited Chu Feng, Long Chen fell into deep thought. The encounter between Chu Yao and Chu Feng reminded him of his own situation.

But it was even worse for me, the spiritual roots, spiritual bones, and spiritual blood were all taken away. Although the methods were different, the purpose was the same?

His father was the top expert in the Fengming Empire, because of his father, he abolished himself so as not to worry about the future?

When chatting with Chu Yao last time, she mentioned a name to Long Chen - Marquis Ying.

The three masters of the Fengming Empire are Marquis Ying, Marquis Wu and Long Chen's father Zhenyuanhou, and they are called the three pillars of Fengming.

The Marquis of Zhenyuan guarded the barbarian frontiers, and the Marquis of Wu stationed in the southern border. Only the Marquis of Ying remained in the imperial capital.

According to Chu Yao, the practice of all princes and princesses was taught by Marquis Wu. At that time, Long Chen felt that this Marquis Ying might have a big problem.

Because of Chu Yao's situation, even as a layman, he found out that there was a huge problem with her for the first time. As a top Fengming master, how could Yinghou not see it?

Since he knew about it but didn't say anything, did he also participate in this matter, or even did it?
If he did it, then did he also do the hands and feet on his body?What is his purpose in doing this?Is it really just scrapping them?Or do they have a greater purpose?

So many question marks hovered in Long Chen's mind, thinking that Long Chen had a splitting headache. These things were like a mess, overlapping and unable to sort out.

"Forget it, no matter how cunning a fox is, it will eventually show its tail. What I need to do is to become a qualified hunter when the fox shows its tail and fangs, otherwise the end will still be dismal."

After figuring this out, Long Chen no longer struggled with these problems, and went straight back to his room. He didn't even dare to go to his mother's side, so he retreated again.

But just after the cyclone started, Long Chen jumped up from the ground, almost smashing through the roof.

"This is too exaggerated"

Looking at the dantian, Long Chen saw that the ten neat cyclones had stopped growing, but each cyclone had reached a terrifying three-foot diameter, which really shocked Long Chen.

Compared with the original cyclone, the current cyclone is simply too scary. The cyclone slowly rotates, and the aura of heaven and earth pours into Fengfu Star like a tide, and the speed is hundreds of times faster than before.

Long Chen was really surprised and delighted, but after just practicing for a few breaths, Long Chen realized that something was wrong.

The ten cyclones are like ten huge pumping pipes, absorbing the aura of heaven and earth, but the aura of heaven and earth nearby cannot satisfy the absorption of the ten cyclones, and it begins to become thinner.

Later, when ten cyclones were opened together, the amount of heaven and earth aura absorbed by opening a cyclone was the same, because there were only so many heaven and earth auras nearby.

"No, we have to change places"

That night, Long Chen covered his breath, quietly crossed the city wall, and left the city without a sound. He started chasing the wind, like a cloud of green smoke, and went straight to Luoxia Mountain.

The Luoxia Mountain in the night was peaceful, and the scenery remained the same. Although it could not be said that things were right and people were wrong, Long Chen was a little moved.

When I came here for the first time, I came with Meng Qi, thinking of Meng Qi's peerless face and those gentle eyes, my heart was shocked.

The second time I came here, I was caught by Chu Yao in a net. It was originally a revenge, but it turned into a charming scene.

Now that Meng Qi is far away, the fairy shadow is confused, and she doesn't know how she is doing now, whether she has forgotten him.

And that brother Qi Shi who almost put himself to death, thinking of that idiot, Long Chen was annoyed for a while, as if that lofty eyes appeared in front of his eyes again.

Meng Qi left, Chu Yao was placed under house arrest, and now he is left alone. This is the cruelty of reality. Living without strength is not called life, but barely survived.

If you want to live with dignity, you need to have matching strength. This is the reality. Looking at the surrounding scenery, Long Chen took a deep breath.

Sitting cross-legged on a big rock, slowly turning the cyclone, after a stick of incense, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth still cannot be supplied.

However, the aura of heaven and earth here is more than twice as strong as at home, so it's not a waste of time.

Two days later, when Dongfang showed a fish belly, there was a bang in Long Chen's body, and he slowly opened his eyes, with a strange look on his face.

He actually condensed another cyclone, and now the number of cyclones has reached eleven, which made Long Chen sigh.

Nine Star Hegemon Body Art, how long do you want me to stay in the Qi Gathering Realm?

Looking at the cyclone in his body that started to grow again, Long Chen couldn't help being happy and worried, and the same sentence: pain and happiness.

After returning home, Long Chen pondered for a while, then ran to the Alchemist Guild to purchase some medicinal materials.

Looking at the medicinal materials placed in the room, Long Chen had a look of anticipation on his face: it's time to try the new pill fire.
