Douluo: Starting with the Signing in of Goddess Xiaowu

Long San's face ashened in an instant, and the next second, he had already been killed by Chu Qin, dying in despair, instantaneously turning into ash.

"Lord Chu Qin, what should we do now?" Long Xue, not caring the slightest about Long San's death, asked Chu Qin.

"What should we do?" Chu Qin asked.

"I also just learned that the Outer Upper Realm has become the Midheaven Alliance's master!" Long Xue said, "The Jiuyin Maiden is the Demon Race Supreme, and the Midheaven Alliance will definitely not let her off!"

"Then let them come!" Before Chu Qin could utter a sound, Xuan Wu Tian Zun's voice had already risen.

"Daring to offend Lord Chu Qin, I'm curious to see just how many in this so-called Midheaven Alliance are not afraid of death!" Xuan Wu Tian Zun said with a cold, gloomy laugh.

"Venerate of Heavens, senior!" Long Xue and Long Gu immediately bowed deeply.

Initially clueless about Xuan Wu Tian Zun, the likes of Long Hun were shocked upon hearing the words of the Crimson Dragon Emperor and the Great Elder. They immediately knelt down, crying out in unison, "Greetings, Venerate of Heavens!"

"Xuan Wu Tian Zun, this matter should not require your intervention," Chu Qin said with a slight smile, "I can handle my own affairs!"

Chu Qin had long known that the Zhongzhou Heavenly Alliance was merely well-known, nothing more.

While he might not be able to kill everyone, if he truly killed the Outer Heavenly Lord or a few Upper Domain Masters, such an alliance would crumble without a fight!

And that's why he was so brazen!

"No, Lord Chu Qin!" Xuan Wu Tian Zun replied, "How could we possibly allow you to take action? Rest assured, although I am no match for the Dragon Venerable, dealing with these mere ants of the Infinite Heavens is still something I can manage with ease."

"Xue'er, activate the Blood Dragon Upper Realm's protective array!" Without waiting for Chu Qin to speak, Xuan Wu Tian Zun commanded, "Later, without my order, no one is allowed to step out of the array!"

"Yes!" Long Xue responded respectfully.

"Let's join forces!" Chu Qin, aware of Xuan Wu Tian Zun's intention, said to him with a slight smile.

"Don't worry, Lord Chu Qin, I won't let you have the opportunity to lift a finger!" Xuan Wu Tian Zun said with a stroke of his beard and a smile.

"Yuehua, bring me the zither!" Chu Qin asked with a calm smile, looking at Tang Yuehua.

Tang Yuehua immediately understood, taking out an ancient zither and handing it to Chu Qin. Following that, Chu Qin calmly placed the zither in the void and sat atop the void himself.

"Lord Chu Qin is in quite the mood!"

Seeing this scene, Xuan Wu Tian Zun didn't forget to flatter Chu Qin.

Chu Qin's hands caressed the zither strings, and a winding, melodious piece of music began to echo in everyone's ears.

All the women and the likes of Long Hun were immersed in it.

It had to be said, Chu Qin's skill at the zither was indeed extraordinary!

Soon, a clattering noise akin to thunder, along with the roars of beasts, shattered the serene and peaceful music of Chu Qin.

The crowd looked toward the source of the sound, only to see countless beast chariots treading the void, on their way here.

Following behind these beast chariots were thousands of Black Gold Warships, their presence enormously imposing!

"So many people have come!" Jiuyin said with a slight startle.

"Moreover, those seated in the beast chariots should be the Sovereign Lords from the heavens of the Central Continent!" Ya Yue said. She could clearly sense that the energy fluctuations from each of the beast chariots were not weaker than hers, at least at the level of the Imperial Honor Third Heaven!

There were roughly forty beast chariots.

Which means that forty Upper Domain Masters had come!

At the very least, half of all the Upper Domain Masters from the Central Continent Heaven had arrived!

Such a show of force would have been enough to flatten the Blood Dragon Upper Realm if it weren't for Chu Qin and Xuan Wu Tian Zun!

At this moment, Long Xue also sensed a hint of crisis, discreetly summoning all of the Blood Dragon Upper Realm's elite to the entrance.

And yet, faced with such a scene, Chu Qin continued to leisurely play his zither, immersed in the music, completely unaffected by the war chariots!

Accompanied by a sound akin to thunderous galloping, the beasts, the chariots, and all the warships came to an abrupt halt before Chu Qin!

One chariot's roof opened from both sides, and a figure seated in meditation slowly rose from within—the person was none other than the Outer Heavenly Lord!

Following that, numerous figures rose into the sky.

These people all shared a common trait, displaying an air of contempt for the world, as if they were unrivaled!

"Boy, was it you who killed my avatar and the people from the Midheaven Alliance?" the Outer Heavenly Lord asked, looking at Chu Qin coldly.

Chu Qin did not respond to the Outer Heavenly Lord, instead Xuan Wu Tian Zun stroked his long beard calmly and spoke, "It was not Lord Chu Qin who killed them, but this old man."

"And who might you be?" the Outer Heavenly Lord asked.

"Lord Chu Qin's enforcer," Xuan Wu Tian Zun stated tranquilly.

Xuan Wu Tian Zun had never set foot outside the Blood Dragon Upper Realm, which is why these masters from the Upper Domains did not recognize him.

"Quite the enforcer!" the Outer Heavenly Lord remarked with a mocking smile, then his gaze swept towards Long Xue, pointing at Jiuyin, "Crimson Dragon Emperor, you've heard it too. This Chu Qin is harboring a Demon Race Supreme and has killed our people from the Midheaven Alliance. No matter what, today we must seek justice. If your Blood Dragon Upper Realm intends to interfere, then offense must be taken!"

"No," Long Xue replied calmly.

"Very well, the wise adapts," the Outer Heavenly Lord said, his lips curling slightly upward.

"No, Outer Heavenly Lord, you have misunderstood me," Long Xue said with a smile, "The one harboring the Demon Race Supreme is not Lord Chu Qin, but the Blood Dragon Upper Realm itself! Today, if you wish to harm Lord Chu Qin, you will have to go through us first!"

"Lord Chu Qin?" Upon hearing this, the Outer Heavenly Lord and the many Upper Domain Masters all showed surprise.

Having an old man, close to his last breath and resembling a turtle, calling Chu Qin "Lord" could be understood!

But what was this? Even the Crimson Dragon Emperor, the legitimate ruler of the Ancient Eight Realms' Blood Dragon Upper Realm, was addressing Chu Qin as "Lord"?

However, the Outer Heavenly Lord quickly regained his composure. Regardless of who Chu Qin was, or whether the Blood Dragon Upper Realm intended to obstruct them, with so many of them present, could they really not take Jiuyin and the Heart of the Magic Beast away?

So the Outer Heavenly Lord said coldly, "Does this mean your Blood Dragon Upper Realm truly intends to oppose the entire Midheaven Alliance?"

"Indeed!" Long Xue hadn't even spoken when Xuan Wu Tian Zun calmly said, "Today, if you can defeat this old man and Lord Chu Qin, you can do as you please with the Demon Race Supreme. I'm afraid, however, that you might lack the strength to do so!"

"Old fool, you really don't know how high the sky is or how deep the earth is!" Seeing Xuan Wu Tian Zun's contempt for them, and with civilities already cast aside, an irascible Upper Domain Master, the Wild Python Sovereign, spoke out, "You're driving the Blood Dragon Upper Realm down a path of destruction!"

"Then let this old man see just how capable you all are?" Xuan Wu Tian Zun said with a light smile, "Who will come first? Or shall you all come at once?"

"Then let me be the first to face you!" No sooner had the Wild Python Sovereign finished speaking than a phantom icy giant python coiled around him.

In an instant, a terrifying energy fluctuation spread throughout the entire space, and the temperature suddenly dropped!

Being one of the sovereigns of the Central Continent Heaven with the strength to match, the Wild Python Sovereign also wielded the power of the Imperial Honor.

One could see that, as the temperature continued to fall, the air around them began to condense into frost, quickly forming lethal ice blades charging towards Xuan Wu Tian Zun!

However, in the next second, a scene that left the Outer Heavenly Lord and others completely dumbfounded occurred!

In the blink of an eye, Xuan Wu Tian Zun vanished from his spot, and in the next moment, he appeared right in front of the Wild Python Sovereign, his withered yellow palm gripping the latter's neck tightly!

"What?" On seeing this, the Outer Heavenly Lord and the others were thoroughly stunned!

They seemed not to have seen Xuan Wu Tian Zun make a move, and even on Xuan Wu Tian Zun's body, there had been no sign of divine power fluctuations!

"So feeble and yet you dare to spout such big words before this old man!" Xuan Wu Tian Zun, his pupils turning golden yellow, looked at the Wild Python Sovereign coldly, and then, he casually threw him away!

The Wild Python Sovereign crashed into his golden beast chariot, blood spurting wildly!

Xuan Wu Tian Zun did not deal a killing blow; their intent was only to kill the Outer Heavenly Lord and drive back the Central Continent Heaven, not to make enemies with the entire Central Continent Heaven.

Still, seeing the Wild Python Sovereign vomiting blood, many of the Upper Domain Masters were somewhat shocked!

"Xuan Wu Tian Zun is formidable!" Wang Qiu'er remarked in amazement.

"A Venerate of Heavens isn't someone just anyone can defeat!" Jiuyin whispered back.

Chu Qin continued to play the zither, appearing particularly at ease. He could have intervened personally, but seeing Xuan Wu Tian Zun handle it so comfortably, he decided to hold his forces back for the time being!

"Continue!" Xuan Wu Tian Zun also looked towards the heroes of the Central Continent Heaven calmly.

"Let this old man experience your methods for himself, shall I?" Another old man with white hair spoke up.
