Douluo: Starting with the Signing in of Goddess Xiaowu

They arrived at a manor.

The living room of the manor was enormous, where Chu Qin and the ladies all sat down, ready to listen to the news about the Tree of Life.

"Master, please tell us, how did you obtain the sap of the Tree of Life!" Xi E asked.

"Actually, the sap was not obtained by me, but by Uncle Tai Cang," Chu Yun replied.

"What? Grandfather Tai Cang?" Xi E exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes." Xi E nodded, "Uncle Tai Cang said that he paid a great price to obtain it. Think about it—the Tree of Life possesses the ability to resurrect any creature. Who wouldn't covet its power? Unfortunately, Uncle Tai Cang did not manage to find the Tree of Life before he was killed by the blades of the Nether Beast Race."

"Originally, I was an idle person. I came to the Life Forbidden Zone simply to search for my past and origins." Chu Yun continued, "But before he died, Uncle Tai Cang gave me this tree sap. Just like you, I want to resurrect him, so these years, I have been searching in the Life Forbidden Zone. I have been to many dangerous places, but the Tree of Life is mobile. The last time, I had seen its true form but it escaped right under my eyes. In the end, I came away empty-handed."

"So, Master, you are also trying to resurrect Grandfather Tai Cang." Xi E nodded.

"It's not just about resurrecting him, I always feel that I have some special connection with the Tree of Life. I came from the Life Forbidden Zone, and for some reason, I ended up in the Ancient Family. Without unraveling this secret, I can't live as a carefree wanderer!" Chu Yun took a swig of wine and said with an easy smile.

"By the way, Chu Yun, do you know of the Tian Qiang Elder?" Chu Qin asked.

"You mean the Tian Qiang Guardian?" Chu Yun replied, "I remember fighting with him. As soon as he saw me using the Huasheng Emperor Technique, he insisted on killing me no matter what."

"Just like us, he also said that I am from the Chi Emperor Lineage," Xi E nodded.

"Yes, now I understand," Chu Yun nodded, "It turns out that the founder of the Chi Emperor City, the Demi-human Chi Emperor who came from a lower realm, killed an important companion of Tian Qiang Elder. Tian Qiang Elder couldn't defeat the Chi Emperor, so he chose to guard the Tian Qian, blocking all demi-human powerhouses from lower realms, especially those from the Chi Emperor Lineage. Over the years, countless demi-human powerhouses have died at his hands."

"Then why don't the people from Chi Emperor City kill him?" Xiaowu asked.

"This Tian Qiang Elder, although his strength is only that of a Sky Calamity Supreme God, he possesses mysterious imperial techniques. Unless three to five Supreme Gods or stronger besiege him, you simply can't kill him. Moreover, Chi Emperor City and Fuxi City have always been at loggerheads, so who has the time to deal with him?" Chu Yun said laughing.

"I see," Chu Qin and the ladies nodded in understanding.

"I have some news to tell you," Chu Yun continued, "Do you know why Fuxi City has so many people now?"

"Why?"

"Because the secret realm of Luo Sha Founder Emperor, the founder of the Nether Beast Race, has appeared in the Emperor Fu Mountain Range between Fuxi City and Chi Emperor City. Moreover, the sap of the Tree of Life has shown certain fluctuations. I suspect the secret realm is related to the Tree of Life," Chu Yun said with a smile, "It's very likely that the Tree of Life is within this secret realm!"

"Yes, I have also sensed the fluctuation of the Tree of Life's energy from its leaves, that's why I came," Chu Qin added, "It seems that the Tree of Life is nearby."

"You have leaves from the Tree of Life?" Chu Yun asked with a touch of surprise.

"Yes, it's just a pity that I haven't preserved them as well as you. They are now gone," Chu Qin nodded.

"Alright, Master, since the Tree of Life is in the secret realm, let's join forces and venture into the Nether Beast Secret Realm together," Xi E suggested.

"No, Xiao'e!" Chu Yun shook his head, "I'm more accustomed to being a solitary wolf. Let's part here, we'll meet again under the Tree of Life!"

With that, Chu Yun stood up to leave.

Seeing this scene, Chu Qin and the ladies were all slightly taken aback. This Chu Yun Great Emperor certainly was a person with a quirky personality.

"Ah?" Xi E was slightly startled, "Master, are you leaving now?"

"Don't worry, I won't go too far." Chu Yun said with a chuckle before vanishing on the spot.

"Master!" Xi E called out loudly.

Alas, Chu Yun had already disappeared without a trace.

"After such a struggle to find her, how can it be like this!" Xi E lamented somewhat disheartened.

"Xiao'e, don't be discouraged," Chu Qin said with a smile, wrapping his arms around Xi E's waist, "at least we know your master is safe and sound, right?"

"Hmm, you're right," Xi E nodded happily.

"It seems we need to pick up the pace, lest so many of us be slower than just her!" Chu Qin replied with a smile.

Just then, the void was torn apart, and a bottle was flung out from within. Chu Qin quickly reached out and grabbed the bottle, only to see that it contained half a drop of the Tree of Life's liquid!

Following that, Chu Yun's voice came through, "In three days, the secret realm of the Luo Sha Founder Emperor will open. The Tree of Life can take the form of any tree, and only the liquid from the Tree of Life can find her!"

"Master, be careful yourself!" called out Xi E immediately.

"This is so strange. How can there be such a master?" Ning Rongrong muttered, pouting slightly.

"Though eccentric, she's very considerate and gentle. I think Chu Yun is quite nice," Zhu Zhuqing said with a smile.

"Everyone, don't mind it, that's just the way my master is. In the Ancient Family, no one can really control her," Xi E said with a smile.

Just at that moment, the sound of the air being torn pierced through the air from outside the manor, followed by an elderly voice that thundered, "People inside, come out now!"

The voice, like a deep bell, carried the thick Divine Power and spread throughout the vast Fire Country Manor.

The women immediately turned their gazes to Chu Qin, who put away the Tree of Life liquid and said with a nonchalant smile, "Let's go and meet them!"

Chu Qin led the women outside, only to see that the courtyard in front of them, and the sky above, were filled with numerous figures.

The Divine Power of each of these people was above that of a Demi-Emperor; at the front were two individuals, one was the fat middle-aged proprietor and the other had a fierce look about him, clad in Black Armor, with a pair of metal bone wings on his back, his eyes a blood-red, almost non-human.

This man was none other than the third elder of Fuxi City, the Bone Honor Great Emperor!

"Third Elder, it's them!" the middle-aged proprietor pointed at Chu Qin and the others.

"Oh, so it's you who switched the Tree of Life liquid of my Fuxi City?" the Bone Honor shamelessly eyed Chu Qin and the others.

"Heh, this Tree of Life liquid rightfully belongs to Elder Chu Yun," Xiaowu was the first to respond coldly, "how can you be so shameless!"

"Enough talk, hand over the Tree of Life liquid now, and perhaps, we might spare your lives!" the middle-aged proprietor said coldly.

Chu Qin let out a faint smile, and upon opening his mouth to shout, a terrifying Divine Power burst forth. The middle-aged proprietor was directly shocked to death in front of everyone by Chu Qin!
