Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

Chapter 6759 Summoning Writ

After questioning Jin Ming about the woman’s appearance, Long Chen confirmed his suspicion.

It could only be Long Chen.

Back then, Lord Brahma had left Le Xing behind to hunt him down, while Long Can had gone into the Primal Chaos World alongside the rest of the Brahma line’s followers.

As a result, Long Chen had lost the chance to settle that debt.

Long Chen was surprised that Lord Brahma would keep a fool like Long Can over Xe Ling.

She had repeatedly bungled matters for the Brahma line, yet not only had she survived, but she had also kept her position as one of the eight divine commanders. Something seemed fishy there.

“When we realized we had been tricked, we prepared to declare all-out war on the Rock Crystal race,” Jin Ming said bitterly. “But that woman arrived with Yan Chengshan. She shattered our mountain gate and sealed the Golden Wheel with a divine diagram. With a single swing of her sword, she split our ancestral land apart. She was far too powerful. She used the lives of our disciples as leverage to force us to obey her.”

Resentment and fury twisted Jin Ming’s expression, but beneath it lay profound helplessness.

In the end, he could blame no one but himself. They had walked straight into the trap. By the time they learned that the Rock Crystal race had already fallen under the Brahma line’s control, it was far too late.

“Did she have two Heavenly Sovereign Dao Weapons?” Long Chen asked, narrowing his eyes.

“Yes. That divine diagram instantly suppressed the Golden Wheel, and the sword in her hand crushed our grand formation in one slash. We were all small fry in front of her,” said Jin Ming.

The despair in his eyes was clear.

“Tch, Lord Brahma really treats her well. At this point, I even suspect they share a special relationship,” Long Chen said.

Jin Ming and Li Wangshu looked at him oddly.

Everyone knew that the eight divine commanders were Lord Brahma’s most trusted subordinates. However, Long Chen’s words seemed to carry a different implication.

“So you recognize this woman?” probed Jin Ming.

“Yes. I’m very familiar with her. She’s called Long Can and came from the nine heavens,” Long Chen replied.

“Of course, she’s different now. Her Brahma Divine Diagram and Divine Commander Blade were replaced with Heavenly Sovereign Dao Weapons. Backed by Lord Brahma’s faith energy, they far surpass ordinary Heavenly Sovereign Dao Weapons like yours.

“Race Leader Jin Ming, don’t blame yourself too badly. If you had not agreed back then, with Long Can’s temperament, she would have simply destroyed your Golden Horn race.

“Sometimes, lowering one’s head is unavoidable, especially when you bear the fate of an entire race. Anyone in your position would have made the same choice.”

Jin Ming’s expression softened slightly.

“Thank you for your understanding,” he said solemnly. “Brother Wangshu, I am sorry for this matter. If I am ever given the chance, I will repay it with my life.”

Li Wangshu hastily said, “Brother Jin Ming, you were coerced. Let us not dwell on the past. From now on, we must stand together. The Rock Crystal race’s defeat will reach Long Can soon. How do you think she will respond? The Brahma line is not an enemy we can face alone. We need a strategy.”

“At this point, there is no strategy,” Jin Ming said coldly. “We have lost all value in Long Can’s eyes. If someone from the Brahma line comes, we will detonate the Golden Wheel and drag a few of them down with us.”

A cold glint flashed through his eyes.

The only reason he had submitted before was because of his race’s eight divine sons—the future pillars of the Golden Horn race.

But now, they were all dead, and most of their elite disciples were gone as well. The race’s future was already bleak.

At this moment, there was nothing for Jin Ming to lose. He was prepared to die.

However, before going all out, he would at least send the remaining promising disciples into hiding to avoid their race being completely annihilated.

“Long Can’s appearance has changed my plans. However, Race Leader Jin Ming, you don’t need to be so pessimistic. The Golden Horn race’s future is not as bad as you think. The future of your race is at a crossroads, and what happens now will depend on you,” said Long Chen.

“Senior Long Chen, I, Jin Ming, swear loyalty to you. Please give me your guidance. As long as the Golden Horn race can survive this tribulation, we will forever be your most loyal servants!” Jin Ming exclaimed.

Jin Ming suddenly stood and got down on one knee.

Long Chen waved his hand, lifting him up.

“I can help you,” Long Chen said evenly. “But think carefully. I, Long Chen, will never tolerate betrayal.”

“Senior Long Chen, I swear on the souls of my ancestors to never betray you! If I do, let my—”

“That’s enough.” Long Chen cut him off.

What he needed was Jin Ming’s resolve, not an oath. This mistake would haunt Jin Ming for the rest of his life. He would not repeat it.

“I trust you,” Long Chen said. “Tell me, did Long Can force you to target the Fullmoon race because her real objective is the Tiger Venerate line?”

“I am not sure. Long Can only told us to cooperate with the Rock Crystal race. We were to suppress the Fullmoon race during the Qi Current Grand Ceremony,” answered Jin Ming.

“In that case, Long Can did not ask for you to wipe out the Fullmoon race, right?”

“No... But you were so ruthless that Yan Chengshan went crazy, which led to this outcome,” replied Jin Ming a bit awkwardly.

Long Chen nodded.

Long Can did not wish for the three races to directly clash. In other words, she didn’t want these two races to take heavy losses. She still had plans for them.

As for whether the Brahma line was truly targeting the Tiger Venerate line, Long Chen could not yet be certain.

But the scent was familiar.

Was this not the same method the Brahma line had used against the dragon race? It was not surprising if they did the same thing to the Tiger Venerate line.

Suddenly, the entire palace started to flash. A massive full-moon diagram flashed urgently above the hall.

“This is the Tiger Venerate line’s summoning writ!” Li Wangshu shouted, his expression instantly changing.
