Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

Li Yixuan’s warning came too late. Those law chains immediately coiled around Long Chen like pythons.

The two of them instantly laughed when they saw him tied up like a chunk of ham. “Hahaha, is this the so-called number one expert of the nine heavens? You’re slower than a damn snail!”

After all, Long Chen’s reputation preceded him. The likes of them had not even been fit to carry his shoes before they broke through. And even though they were now Divine Sovereigns in control of the new era’s laws, they had still been nervous facing him all of a sudden. However, now that he had been brought under control, they relaxed.

“Alright, big hero, you wanted to make sure everyone lives happily ever after? Well, no worries! I’ll make this woman happy right here in front of you, so you won’t be disappointed!” One of them laughed pervertedly. With the danger dealt with, he remembered that he had been in the middle of something fun when Long Chen interrupted him.

Li Yixuan’s heart instantly turned ice-cold. Now she had even implicated Long Chen! Whatever happened to her was one thing, but she could not forgive herself even in death if something happened to Long Chen.

But just then, a space ripple spread outward from Long Chen. The chains binding him were blown to smithereens. More importantly, when the ripple reached it, the mirror that had spawned the chains was also blown apart. With that, the chains binding Li Yixuan and the others also shattered.

“What?! Impossible!”

The two Forerunners’ expressions completely changed. It was not the fact that the mirror had shattered; they could live with that. The truly terrifying thing was that their law power had just been stripped away!

Long Chen took a single step and appeared before one of them. With a single finger, he blew a hole in the man’s head.

The other one did not wait to see what Long Chen intended to do with him. He immediately disappeared, fleeing for his life. Sadly, fleeing from Long Chen was easier said than done.

Long Chen simply raised his hand. A fraction of a second later, the void exploded, and the second Forerunner was forcibly ripped out of hiding.

“Don’t kill me! Please, don’t kill me! I can be your slave!” That person knelt and kowtowed repeatedly, his head banging on the ground over and over.

The Full Moon Sect’s members were stunned. They had been utterly unable to pose a threat to these two unstoppable Forerunners, even as they sacrificed everything their sect had in reserve. But with Long Chen here, one had been instantly killed and one instantly captured!

They gazed at Long Chen reverently. Long Chen clearly had no aura of a Forerunner. He didn’t even have fluctuations of the new era’s laws. Why was he so powerful?

Meanwhile, Long Chen had other concerns, “Alright, spit it out. What’s happening in the divine capital?”

Half an incense stick’s worth of time later, a crimson petal pierced the Forerunner’s head. Long Chen had no interest in servants like this. After killing him, he turned to leave.

But before he could disappear, Li Yixuan got down on one knee. The rest of the disciples also knelt down.

“Lord Long Chen, the Full Moon Sect is forever indebted to you for saving us. From today onwards, every single one of us will obey your orders, even if you send us to our deaths!”

They were in no way afraid of death, but they were afraid of being turned into slaves. And even though they didn’t fear death, they definitely could not forget the debt of being saved from it. There was not a shred of insincerity in their words and expressions.

Long Chen paused. In all fairness, he did feel a bit bad about just leaving like this. He looked down, and when he met Li Yixuan’s gaze, she said, “Lord Long Chen, it was my own foolishness that caused this. I did not take your words to heart, and because of that, I made a major mistake. All of this is my fault alone. If you are not happy with me, then please let me pay with my life for it.”

Hearing these words, the disciples cried out in panic. They rose, seemingly intent on standing in front of her, but Li Yixuan waved her hand, making them shut up and stand back. She continued, “I am foolish, but my disciples are innocent and talented. They have yet to live their lives. As long as they reach their full potential... I won’t say that they will definitely become pillars of the human race, but they will definitely show their value in the battle against the devils. I beg you to have pity on them and give them a chance to live. They can die on the battlefield, but not to something like this!”

Li Yixuan was well aware that their predicament was entirely due to her not believing Long Chen back then. Although it was unlikely that Long Chen held a grudge against her for this, he definitely wasn’t happy with her. He didn’t want to be connected to them any longer. The fact that he had saved them just now could be considered great benevolence on his part. Asking for more was the epitome of ingratitude.

But Li Yixuan also knew that the Full Moon Sect no longer had time to raise any Forerunners, even if they wanted to. Only Long Chen could let them survive until the new era came. So she threw away all her pride and dignity to beg him.

The Full Moon Sect’s disciples were entirely unaware of what had happened between Long Chen and Li Yixuan. However, they were no dimwitted fools; they immediately understood that the future of the Full Moon Sect was being decided at this moment. They stared at Long Chen nervously, like rabbits about to flee from a single sound.

Long Chen was silent for a long time as he stared at the disciples. Eventually, he couldn’t help sighing.

“Fine, you win. I’ll let you have this.”

“Many thanks, Lord Long Chen!”

Li Yixuan was so overjoyed that she started weeping. She once more kowtowed, but Long Chen lifted her up.

She knew that her actions could be considered moral manipulation. What she was doing was downright disgraceful. But for the sake of her disciples, she could only thicken her face and play the shameless game. After all, Long Chen’s word was worth its weight in gold. If he said he would do something, then he would definitely not renege on that promise. And now that she’d bought a chance for her disciples, everything was fine. Let alone her pride, even if she had to lay down her life a thousand times, it would still be worth it.

“Lord Long Chen, let me introduce you...” Li Yixuan calmed her heart and was about to show him the top geniuses of the Full Moon Sect, but Long Chen had other plans.

“There’s no rush. I have to take a trip to the divine capital. We can talk more when I’m back.”

Li Yixuan was instantly alarmed. “You’re going to the divine capital?! Didn’t that guy just confirm that it’s a nest of outsider devils? There must be thousands of Forerunners there! If you go like this...”

They had only just heard that man confess that the divine capital was basically an incubator for Forerunners. As of now, the only ones allowed inside the divine capital were the core members of the outsider devil clans. In other words, the divine capital was rife with traitors of humanity, as well as elites of the outsider devils.

According to that Forerunner, once the divine capital’s traitors became Divine Sovereigns and grasped the new era’s laws, they were being sent out to conquer other powerful factions. As for the outsider devils, they were busy kowtowing to their statue. A veritable flood of faith energy was creating masses of Forerunners on the side of the outsider devils.

As those Forerunners became Divine Sovereigns, the tide of faith energy grew stronger, and the effect kept compounding. In fact, the Forerunner had just informed Long Chen that the outsider devils already had over ten thousand Forerunners who had grasped the new era’s laws, and the number was growing faster by the day. When Li Yixuan heard this number, she found it hard to believe. It felt like there was no longer a place for them in the Heavenly Magnificence Divine Prefecture.

Furthermore, according to him, the Full Moon Sect’s disciples were supposed to be captured alive and offered up as rewards to those who did good work for them. Thus, Li Yixuan truly had no choice but to cast aside her honor and beg Long Chen. There was nothing else she could do.

Long Chen, however, seemed entirely unconcerned. “Yes, I’m going to the divine capital. It would be rude of me not to pay them a visit.”

In truth, the moment Evilmoon learned about the situation in the divine capital, it instantly started pushing him to hurry up and slaughter them.

Li Yixuan clenched her teeth and said with determination, “Lord Long Chen, we’ll go with you!”
