Douluo: Starting with the Signing in of Goddess Xiaowu

"What's wrong, Elder Chu Qin?" all the women asked in unison.

"Xue'er, did you see who kidnapped Long Ling?" Chu Qin turned to Qian Renxue and asked.

Qian Renxue shook her head.

"Very well, Huang Er, Jing'er, besides your Holy Spirit Cult and the Sun-Moon Imperial City, are there any other Titled Douluos?" Chu Qin inquired.

"Only Elder Xu!" Lan Jing'er replied.

"Huang Er, Jing'er, summon all the elders of the Holy Spirit Cult for me!" Chu Qin commanded with a stern expression.

"Elder Chu Qin, you mean to say, a Titled Douluo kidnapped Long Ling." Qian Renxue raised her eyebrows as she spoke.

"Otherwise, could someone of a lesser rank kidnap someone right under your nose and Xiaowu, and Liena's, without making a sound?" Chu Qin asked.

"Makes sense!" Xiaowu and Hulena exclaimed simultaneously.

"Also, not just anyone can enter the Holy Spirit Cult. Elder Chu Qin, you suspect...an inside job..." Lan Jing'er had a sudden realization.

"Alright, I'll go now!" Longhuang declared.

"Remember, don't raise any alarm for now!"

"Okay!"

Under the summon of Longhuang and Lan Jing'er, all eight elders of the Holy Spirit Cult and seven Anbu Black Ops elders, along with the Deepsea Devil Whale King, were gathered in the great hall.

"Sect Hierarch, Young Master, what is the matter that you have called us here for?" Sumi Elder asked, looking at Longhuang and Lan Jing'er.

And upon seeing Chu Qin, Gu You's gaze noticeably sharpened.

"Allow me to formally introduce someone!" With a dignified bearing, Longhuang pointed at Chu Qin and said, "After discussion with Jing'er, we have decided to appoint Chu Qin as the Supreme Elder of the Holy Spirit Cult. Do any of you object?"

After discussing amongst themselves, the fourteen elders and the Deepsea Devil Whale King all nodded their heads in agreement, with Sumi Elder expressing, "Lord Chu Qin's strength and tactics are known to all of us. Moreover, Lord Chu Qin is also the beloved of our Sect Hierarch and Young Master. With Elder Chu Qin's presence, the Holy Spirit Cult will surely grow even stronger!"

"Hmm! That's good to hear!" Longhuang nodded, "From now on, Chu Qin is the Supreme Elder of the Holy Spirit Cult, his status within the cult is supreme!"

"Greetings, Supreme Elder!"

All the elders, including Gu You and Sumi, knelt in unison.

Chu Qin smiled faintly, took a seat on the steps, and his expression changed as he spoke softly, "Actually, the reason for summoning you all here, to announce my appointment, is secondary. The key point is, just a short while ago, one of my subordinates was kidnapped within the Holy Spirit Cult!"

"What! Who dares to commit such a brazen act of kidnapping within the Holy Spirit Cult!"

"And they even dared to kidnap someone under the watch of the Supreme Elder!"

"Find them, and I will ensure they experience all the tortures the Holy Spirit Cult has to offer!"

Instantly, the room erupted in an uproar, as the elders all discussed passionately.

"Supreme Elder!" Gu You spoke up, "For someone under the Supreme Elder to be kidnapped within the Holy Spirit Cult is a direct affront to us. We must lend our full support and search the entire city!"

"There's no need to search the entire city!" Chu Qin said with a cold laugh, "The person who kidnapped my subordinate is right here within the Holy Spirit Cult, and among you all!"

"What?"

"Among us?"

The elders were visibly startled upon hearing this.

"Supreme Elder, why would you say that?" Sumi Elder asked, puzzled.

"Xu Mi!" the Dragon Phoenix spoke, "The person abducted from Chu Qin was guarded by a Soul Douluo and two Soul Sages. Besides a Titled Douluo, who could abduct this person so quietly? And the incident occurred at the headquarters of the Holy Spirit Cult; if not an insider, who else could it be!"

"I advise you, whoever abducted them, better come forward quickly; otherwise, if I find you, I will make your life a living hell!" Lan Jing'er's eyes even revealed a ruthless glint!

"Elder Lan Jing'er, we are absolutely loyal to you and the Sect Hierarch, to the Holy Spirit Cult!" Gu He said, "And as the Supreme Elder, you and the Sect Hierarch's closest confidant, it shouldn't be one of us, right?"

Lan Jing'er and the Dragon Phoenix, upon hearing this, were both undecided and turned their gazes toward Chu Qin.

Chu Qin merely smiled coldly and said, "Actually, a mere subordinate's life is not that valuable! But I, Chu Qin, will thoroughly investigate this matter, and if I find out who it was, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"Supreme Elder, I admire your methods and strength!" Gu You said, "But just as Elder Gu He said, our Holy Spirit Cult would never harm one of our own!"

"Hmm!" Chu Qin smiled lightly and stood up to leave the hall.

"Remember, whoever has captured Chu Qin's person, better confess to me quickly!" the Dragon Phoenix said coldly, "If I find you... hmph!"

As the Dragon Phoenix spoke, she followed Lan Jing'er, keeping pace with Chu Qin, and they all left the hall with icy demeanors.

"Who in the world would dare to target the Supreme Elder's person!" a burly elder asked after the three of Chu Qin had left.

"No way, could this person really be among us? After all, who would dare sneak into the Holy Spirit Cult to abduct someone in Sun Moon Land!" Gu He said.

"Hmm!" an old woman chimed in, "Moreover, the Supreme Elder just arrived at the Sun-Moon Empire. He wouldn't have any enemies so soon; it might really be someone from our Holy Spirit Cult!"

"Enough!" the Sumi Elder said, "Everyone go back! Just wait for the investigation from the Supreme Elder, the Sect Hierarch, and the Young Master!"

"Yes!" Everyone responded and then left the hall in succession.

"Chu Qin, they've all left!" After everyone had gone, Chu Qin, Lan Jing'er, the Dragon Phoenix, and many powerful individuals surrounding Chu Qin, quietly arrived at a secluded place, where the Dragon Phoenix spoke up.

"Huang'er, Jing'er, Daji, Devil Whale King, Flame Spirit Princess, Yun Yun, Medusa, Sword Ji, Azure Dragon, Xiao Jiu, Ying Ying, Bi Ji, Zi Ji, each of you keep an eye on one!" Chu Qin ordered.

"Thirteen, plus you, that's fourteen in total. What about the fifteenth?" Zi Ji asked.

"Ah Yin, Mei Wu, You Ji, are all ordinary hundred-thousand-year soul beasts, easily detectable by others!" Chu Qin frowned and said, ""

"Leave it to me!" Just then, a beam of golden light shone, and a stunning figure emerged, it was none other than Angel Yan!

"Yan!" Chu Qin said, slightly surprised.

"I said before, when you're not happy, I'll show up," Angel Yan spoke coolly.

"Alright, no time to waste, let's move! Xu Mi is mine to handle," Chu Qin said.

"Hmm!" The women nodded upon hearing this, and transformed into streaks of light, quietly following the elders!

Angel Yan was accompanied by Gu You.

After leaving the hall, Gu You headed to his Elder residence courtyard.

As soon as he entered the house, he quickly closed the door behind him.

"Elder Gu, where were you? You scared me to death, I thought something had happened to you" soon after, a figure full of exotic charm appeared in the room, it was Lu Liya!

"This Chu Qin is truly cautious!" Gu He replied, "He suspected it was the doing of an Elder of the Holy Spirit Cult almost immediately! My fault for being too anxious."

"Ah, what should we do?" Lu Liya asked.

"No worries!" Gu He replied, "Chu Qin doesn't know who it is! Lu Liya, where is the Half-Dragon now?"

"She's in the tavern's dungeon!" Lu Liya answered, "Should we just kill her off?"
