Douluo: Starting with the Signing in of Goddess Xiaowu

Because Dugu Zixi knew Chu Qin was just an ally and would eventually leave, if she offended the Barbarian Bull God Sect and Earth Dragon Sect, Shuiyue Gate would have a difficult time!

"Thank you, Sect Leader Dugu!" the Earth Dragon Godly Venerable immediately replied.

"Thank you, Sect Leader Dugu...no, I mean, thank you, beautiful Dugu!" the Barbarian Bull Godly Venerable also hastily said to Dugu Zixi.

They didn't know that Chu Qin and Dugu Zixi were just allies, and since Chu Qin directly addressed Dugu Zixi as Sect Leader, they all thought that Shuiyue Gate had produced a Saint Lord, which would put the sect at the level of the Heavenly Domains from then on!

"That won't do, they must be taught a lesson; otherwise, if these two dirty-mouthed individuals speak disrespectfully to you again, Sect Leader, in the future!" Chu Qin spoke coldly, "In that case, each person must prepare fifty million tons of Black Gold Energy Cores as tribute!"

"Fifty million!" both the Barbarian Bull Godly Venerable and Earth Dragon Godly Venerable exclaimed in shock.

But they dared not express their anger; they could only look to Zhuge Lingtian, hoping he would plead for them!

However, Zhuge Lingtian solemnly said, "Fellow Chu Qin is right. Barbarian Bull, Earth Dragon, better to lose wealth and avert disaster, let's keep the peace!"

Zhuge Lingtian certainly wouldn't offend a Saint Lord like Chu Qin just for the sake of these two worthless individuals!

Most importantly, Zhuge Lingtian himself couldn't see through Chu Qin's realm!

He didn't know which realm of Saint Lord Chu Qin belonged to; the difference between one realm and another among Saint Lords was as vast as the difference between heaven and earth!

If he brought trouble upon Sky-holding Palace, that would be disastrous.

However, what Zhuge Lingtian was contemplating even more was just how powerful Chu Qin's origins were before making a final decision!

After all, Sky-holding Palace had dominated the Xi Yu for tens of billions of years and must not be shaken by anyone else.

In a word, strength conquers all!

"Yes, Saint Sovereign Chu Qin!" both the Barbarian Bull Godly Venerable and Earth Dragon Godly Venerable gritted their teeth and agreed to his demand.

Fifty million tons of Black Gold Energy Cores were precious, but their own lives were even more so!

"Very well, bring it to my hands within three days; otherwise, hmm..." Chu Qin chuckled coldly.

Hearing Chu Qin's laughter, both the Barbarian Bull and Earth Dragon shivered.

Damn it, they had really miscalculated with today's meal!

All the leaders of various forces were utterly astonished!

Shuiyue Gate had truly produced a Saint Lord!

From now on, Shuiyue Gate had risen to prominence overnight.

But Zhuge Lingtian's eyes narrowed; this Chu Qin was quite domineering!

"Sect Leader Dugu!" At this moment, Tianbo Dong stood up from his seat and knelt straight in front of Dugu Zixi, crying out, "Sect Leader Dugu, Saint Sovereign Chu Qin, I was blind and ignorant before, offending your Shuiyue Gate. I beg for your forgiveness from Sect Leader Dugu and Saint Sovereign Chu Qin, spare my life, spare my life! I am willing to offer up one, no, two hundred million tons of Black Gold Energy Cores!"

Dugu Zixi was first surprised by Tianbo Dong's action, then declared angrily, "Tianbo Dong, your Crimson Blood Universe has killed so many of our Shuiyue Gate, with three hundred planets being slaughtered by you alone, how could I let you off!"

"Sect Leader Dugu, I was wrong, so terribly wrong!" Tianbo Dong said with a pained expression. He had originally thought Shuiyue Gate was an easy target, how could he have known that Shuiyue Gate hid a Saint Lord!

"Since the Sect Leader is not willing to let you off, then you..." As Chu Qin's voice fell, he teleported in front of Tianbo Dong in a flash, and immediately grabbed his neck forcefully!

Tianbo Dong and everyone else didn't even have time to react before he was being choked by the neck and taken into the air by Chu Qin!

All the Godly Venerables were completely stunned!

Was this the power of a Saint Lord?

If all beings were considered ants beneath a Godly Venerable, then weren't Godly Venerables just as insignificant in the hands of a Saint Lord?

"Saint Lord, Saint Lord, save me!" Tianbo Dong struggled and roared desperately. However, even his roars were extremely hoarse.

"Hmph, I have long said that Xi Yu must prioritize peace! Crimson Blood Universe, how dare you slaughter the beings of three hundred planets behind my back, you must pay the price!" Zhuge Lingtian sat upon his throne, saying with an icy gaze.

All the Deity Venerates clearly understood that although Zhuge Lingtian outwardly advocated for peace, the killings carried out by the Sky-holding Palace behind the scenes were hardly few.

It was merely for fear of offending Chu Qin!

In fact, that was indeed the case. The moment Chu Qin had made his move, Zhuge Lingtian found himself unable to see through Chu Qin's methods!

This meant that Chu Qin was even more powerful than he had imagined!

If he had been uncertain before, now he knew that Chu Qin was not someone to be offended lightly!

"Ah!" At this moment, something even more horrifying occurred.

Suddenly, a terrifying devouring power surged from Chu Qin's body, and in the next instant, Tianbo Dong's energy began to be ceaselessly devoured by Chu Qin.

Eventually, Tianbo Dong's energy was completely drained, leaving nothing but a skeleton!

"Ah!" Seeing this, not just the Deity Venerates, but even Zhuge Lingtian's expression dramatically changed.

The power exerted by Chu Qin seemed to be related to an ancient inheritance of the Central Continent Heaven?

Could it be that Chu Qin was not just the Saint Lord of Shuiyue Gate, but someone with a significant background!

After draining Tianbo Dong's energy, Chu Qin calmly returned to Dugu Zixi's side and said with pretense, "Sect Master, Tianbo Dong is dead!"

Chu Qin's intention was clear—to establish in front of everyone the inviolable image of Shuiyue Gate and Dugu Zixi!

Dugu Zixi was completely stunned.

Tianbo Dong, he was dead just like that?

And all of this was Chu Qin's doing!

"Fellow Chu Qin, by eliminating a great threat for Xi Yu, your divine might is truly eye-opening. Someone, throw Tianbo Dong's skeleton to the Crimson Blood Universe's base!"

"Yes!" Zhuge Zhengshan immediately took Tianbo Dong's skeleton and vanished from the spot.

"Fellow Chu Qin, for removing a scourge from Xi Yu, come, let me and the lords of Xi Yu toast to you," Zhuge Lingtian raised his cup with a slight smile. His fierce and daunting face made him look even scarier when smiling!

All the Deity Venerates did not dare to delay and immediately raised their cups, shouting in unison, "To the great Saint Sovereign!"

Chu Qin calmly extended his hand, and two brand new cups of wine appeared in his and Dugu Zixi's hands, which they drank in unison with the rest.

Dugu Zixi, while suppressing the shock in her heart, glanced at Chu Qin from the corner of her eye. This man seemed to have captured her attention.

"What is it, Sect Master?" Chu Qin seemed to have noticed Dugu Zixi's gaze and smiled faintly at her.

"Nothing..." Dugu Zixi replied hastily.

"Well then, let us take our seats," Chu Qin said, leading Dugu Zixi to sit down, unabashedly taking the seat that Tianbo Dong had occupied before.

"Fellow Chu Qin, may I ask which era you are from? Why have I never heard of your name before?" Zhuge Lingtian asked Chu Qin.

All the Deity Venerates listened intently, as none of them had heard of the name Chu Qin before.

"I have been in seclusion for tens of billions of years, I remember your grandfather, Zhuge Xiongzhen, once fought side by side with me," Chu Qin said with feigned casualness. He remembered the name Zhuge Xiongzhen being mentioned by Jiu Yin.

"So it turns out to be Senior Chu Qin!" Zhuge Lingtian immediately feigned realization, "Senior, my apologies for the disrespect!"

"Senior Chu Qin, have you emerged from seclusion this time also for the Seven Hells Demon Tower?" Zhuge Lingtian asked Chu Qin with a smile.
