Douluo: Starting with the Signing in of Goddess Xiaowu

"I have thought about this issue as well," Shenmu Elder replied, "but this is the most confidential secret of the Nine Dragon Divine Domain. What if we tell Chu Qin and he keeps it all to himself!"

"That's unlikely, I don't think Chu Qin is such a person," Ye Zixi responded, "Besides, without Chu Qin, we couldn't even open that door, and keeping this secret is useless. Moreover, the Akatsuki Organisation has never ceased their probe into our secret, which ultimately poses a super threat to our Nine Dragon Divine Domain."

"Hmm!" Shenmu Elder nodded, "Indeed, Chu Qin is a person of great loyalty and righteousness. We know this from the fact that he saved two prisoners of war. Very well, then, Zi Xi, let us go to Douluo Manor and test him out!"

"Test what!" Just then, a voice with a hint of femininity, yet perfect, sounded!

Chu Qin was seen choking a Divine King guard by the neck, walking into the Shenmu Grand Hall from the outside with the Life God King Gu Yuena.

"Chu Qin!"

"Young friend Chu Qin!"

Ye Zixi and Shenmu Elder called out at the same time.

"Shenmu, impressive!" Chu Qin said with a faint smile, "Giving me the Dragon Pearl for free, last night, I almost got slaughtered!"

"No way, with your skills, young friend Chu Qin, those few rotten fishes would not possibly be your match!" Shenmu Elder replied with a smile, "Moreover, haven't you killed all of them?"

"Is everything settled just by killing them!" Chu Qin's expression turned cold, "I, Chu Qin, hate being used the most! Come on, let me see just how capable the Nine Dragon Divine Domain is to dare to offend me!"

At the sight of Chu Qin's eyes, Ye Zixi trembled.

"Young friend Chu Qin, please, calm down!" Shenmu Elder said with a placating smile, "How about this, I'll give back to you the twenty million Divine Core Energy Crystals that you gave, no, I'll add another thirty million!"

"Am I lacking your fifty million Divine Core Energy Crystals?" Chu Qin's mouth curled slightly, "Or are your lives only worth fifty million?"

"Chu Qin, don't go too far, I even saved your friend," Ye Zixi called out weakly.

Chu Qin was clearly asking for an exorbitant amount, but helplessly, this was someone who dared to kill even those from Bai Jian Shan directly; killing her and Shenmu Elder would be as easy as flipping his hand.

"Very well!" Shenmu Elder responded, "Young friend Chu Qin, let go of the person in your hand, I'll give you ample compensation, and you will certainly be satisfied!"

"Satisfied? One billion Divine Core Energy Crystals?" Chu Qin asked.

"How could such things catch young friend's discerning eye!" Shenmu Elder replied, "You must have already witnessed the power of the Dragon Pearl. I have something even more precious than that."

Both Chu Qin and the Life God King Gu Yuena's expressions changed slightly.

"It better satisfy me, or else, I will make the Nine Dragon Divine Domain pay a painful price!" Chu Qin said and finally threw the two Divine Kings that he held in his hand out.

"Two wastes, off with you!" Ye Zixi glared at the two Divine Kings.

Hearing this, the two Divine Kings dared not linger and immediately left the Shenmu Grand Hall.

"Speak, what is it exactly?" Chu Qin asked, "My patience is limited!"

"Young friend Chu Qin, I know you are in a hurry and I know I should not have used you!" Shenmu Elder replied, "But this secret is critical for the safety of our Nine Dragon Divine Domain; please, come with me."

"What do you mean?" Chu Qin asked.

"Walls have ears!" Shenmu Elder replied.

Chu Qin's expression shifted slightly as the Eyes of the Illusion God opened at that moment, indeed detecting a faint breath in the corner of the Shenmu Grand Hall.

If one weren't intentionally searching for it, it would indeed be quite difficult to detect.

Suddenly, Chu Qin reached out into the Void and grabbed the hidden figure, pulling it out of thin air!

Immediately after, Chu Qin casually threw the figure to the ground, causing it to spew blood wildly and die on the spot!

"Akatsuki, Hidden Wood God King!"

Ye Zixi exclaimed in surprise.

Shenmu Elder was also somewhat astonished. Muyin might have been hiding in the Shenmu Grand Hall all along, spying on who knows how much information!

This also allowed the two to witness Chu Qin's methods for the first time!

Killing a Divine King with his bare hands!

"Now, can you talk?" Chu Qin asked.

Shenmu Elder paused for a moment, then took out a green pearl. Instantly, an invisible barrier spread out, enveloping the entire hall.

Chu Qin immediately felt that it was an Array meant to isolate any outside breath.

Afterward, Shenmu Elder finally directed his gaze toward Ye Zixi, who nodded in response.

"Chu Qin, before I say it, can you swear that aside from us three, you will absolutely not reveal it!" Ye Zixi looked at Chu Qin and replied.

"Why so mysterious? What exactly is it?" Chu Qin asked. From everything Shenmu Elder and Ye Zixi had done, Chu Qin knew that the matter was of great importance, especially since Ye Zixi, such a peerless beauty, was personally asking!

He nodded and responded, "Alright then, I promise you, I swear to keep this secret!"

"We will too!" Gu Yuena and the Life God King responded.

"Then I'll tell you!" Ye Zixi spoke, "Chu Qin, the Dragon Pearl you have is actually something we found in a Mysterious Cave."

"Mysterious Cave?" Chu Qin's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Yes! This Mysterious Cave was discovered by a powerful ancestor of our Nine Dragon Divine Domain, a Demi-Emperor Level powerhouse who enjoyed traveling the universe. By chance, he discovered the cave and within it, the Demi-Emperor Beast, the Skeleton Emperor Divine Dragon! The ancestor battled with the Skeletal Dragon and ultimately slew it, leaving behind the Dragon Pearl, but as a result, the ancestor was gravely weakened and fell from Demi-Emperor Level to King Realm," Ye Zixi patiently explained.

"However, no matter what, the ancestor was unable to break the seal on the Dragon Pearl."

"Just then, the ancestor discovered, inside the cave, there was a mysterious Array related to the Dragon Pearl!" Ye Zixi continued, "The Skeleton Emperor Divine Dragon was likely the guardian Divine Beast of this Array!"

"You're saying that this Mysterious Cave is guarded by a Demi-Empire Beast!" Gu Yuena exclaimed in shock.

"Yes!" Ye Zixi continued, "The ancestor speculated that there must be a super treasure hidden within the Array. Therefore, he decided to settle here and founded the Nine Dragon Divine Domain! Later, the ancestor sought to unravel the Array's secrets. Unfortunately, his soul was damaged in the battle with the Skeletal Dragon, and a million years later, the ancestor passed away with his Divine Soul returning, regretfully not having unlocked the Array. The task then fell into the hands of us, his descendants."

"To fulfill the ancestor's last wishes, we have never stopped attempting to break the Array for so many years, but have always been unable to do so," Ye Zixi continued.

"And Akatsuki has somehow recently learned of our secret!" Ye Zixi went on, "They've been trying to take the Dragon Pearl from us."
