Douluo: Starting with the Signing in of Goddess Xiaowu

"Well then, you lead the way!" Chu Qin replied.

"Wait a moment, Chu Qin, put this on!" Xiao Xiyue handed a special metal garment to Chu Qin.

"What is this?"

"It can shield against Divine Sense detection and tracking from soul-guiding Divine Artifacts," Xiao Xiyue replied.

"There's such a thing!" Chu Qin expressed his surprise.

"Yes. This is one of Sky Dragon City's treasures," Xiao Xiyue nodded.

"A city treasure? You're just giving it to me?" Chu Qin's eyebrows rose slightly.

"As long as you can rescue my father, I'm willing to give you the entire Sky Dragon City!" Xiao Xiyue replied earnestly.

"I don't want your Sky Dragon City," Chu Qin smiled as he put on the metal clothes, "Let's go rescue your father first."

Saying this, Chu Qin took Xiao Xiyue's arm.

Xiao Xiyue's delicate body trembled slightly.

"Too slow. I'm going to perform a star-crossing!" Chu Qin said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiyue quickly wrapped her other hand around Chu Qin's arm.

"By the way, where is the Sacred Fire Star?" Chu Qin revealed a faint smile.

"I don't know," Xiao Xiyue shook her head.

"Forget it, let's ask someone!"

No sooner had Chu Qin spoken than he and Xiao Xiyue disappeared from their original spot.

Chu Qin and Xiao Xiyue quickly captured a general from the Blazing Flame Star Realm and learned of the Sacred Fire Star's location from him.

Soon after, Chu Qin descended directly onto the Holy Fire Continent!

Here, despite being called the Holy Fire Continent, it was not at all desolate as one might imagine; it was filled with colorful, vibrant flowers everywhere.

Those unaware would think they'd arrived in heaven.

In the middle of the sea of flowers stood a majestic city, Holy Fire City.

The city walls, towering hundreds of meters, were lined with many Soul-guided Divine Cannons and soldiers with Divine Power patrolling up and down.

One could see that Holy Fire City was incredibly bustling, much more so than Tiandou or the Star Luo Imperial Capital in Soul Land.

Within the city, the streets were crowded.

At the city gate, there was a steady stream of people coming and going.

The attire of the people varied; some wore suits, others wore traditional robes. The architecture was also a combination of Eastern and Western styles.

"Hmm, despite the Blazing Flame Star Realm suffering defeat, I didn't expect it to be so lively here!" Chu Qin, taking Xiao Xiyue with him, quickly blended into the crowd.

"Once the Blazing Flame Star Realm withdraws, it's impossible to take these populations with them. Once the Divine Core of this star is also taken away, all these people are left with only one path—to death," Xiao Xiyue replied.

"That's brutal!" Chu Qin was slightly shocked.

"The battles between starfields are not ordinarily cruel," Xiao Xiyue replied, "When Divine Powers fight, it's the people who suffer."

"Let's not talk about this anymore," Chu Qin said with a smile, "Let's find your father first."

"Okay!"

Chu Qin and Xiao Xiyue blended into the city smoothly.

Upon entering the city, they could clearly see at the far end, a towering mountain stood tall, and within it, everything was full of metallic features—metal Divine Cannons, metal fortresses.

"It looks very likely, inside there."

Chu Qin, pointing at the mountain, activated his True Dragon Eye and discovered that the mountain in front of him was hollow, housing a huge fortress and space within.

But soon, Chu Qin retrieved his True Dragon Eye as he sensed that something was watching him!

"Strange, what is that?"

Chu Qin, looking at the top of the mountain, said to a gigantic purple eyeball, "It was that which had detected my True Dragon Eye just now."

"That's the True Dragon Eye!" Xiao Xiyue hadn't even responded when, beside Chu Qin, an ancient voice chimed in.

Chu Qin and Xiao Xiyue immediately turned in surprise to find an old man with fluffy hair, dressed simply and holding a wine gourd, standing there drunk.

Chu Qin was immediately surprised, "What did you say? The True Dragon Eye."

"I said, the thing on top of the mountain is called the True Dragon Eye, also known as the Mirror of the True Dragon, and it's exactly the partner to what's in your eyes!" the white-haired old man said while sipping on his wine.

Chu Qin was stunned; his True Dragon Eye was extremely concealed. Shi Tian Di had said that not even a Demi-Emperor could notice it.

Could it be that this scruffy old man was stronger than a Demi-Emperor!

"You old man, what nonsense are you spouting!" Chu Qin said defensively.

"Heh, you might deceive others, but not me. Aside from the True Dragon Eye, you have three Supreme Divine Artifacts within you," the old man replied, "Now tell me, what are you doing here on the Sacred Fire Star?"

Chu Qin's pupils shrank slightly; he knew he had encountered a legendary expert!

Just as Chu Qin was about to say something, a rough voice erupted!

"It's him!" A group of young men armed with clubs strode angrily towards the drunken old man.

"Young man, quickly save this old man!" The drunken elder hastily hid behind Chu Qin.

Chu Qin was even more astonished. None of these men armed with clubs displayed the slightest bit of Divine Power; they didn't even have Soul Power, totally mere mortals!

"You two, out of the way!" The group of young men spoke to Chu Qin and Xiao Xiyue.

Xiao Xiyue's brows knitted slightly, and Chu Qin frowned, asking, "Why are so many of you bullying an old man, what's going on here?"

"It's not us bullying him! It's this old guy who lost a hundred thousand Holy Fire Currency at our casino and ran away!" the leader of the men said, "Young fellow, better step aside, or we'll beat you too!"

"Young man, save me, save me! These people want to throw me into a pig cage!" the drunken old man pleaded with Chu Qin.

"Is this enough?" Chu Qin took out a small piece of Divine Core Energy Crystals.

"Divine Core Energy Crystals!" the middle-aged man's eyes lit up immediately as he eagerly took the Divine Core Energy Crystals, saying, "Enough, enough!"

With that, the middle-aged man hurried away with his group, as though afraid that Chu Qin would have a change of heart.

"Have these people never seen the world!" Chu Qin was slightly astonished. Whenever he made a move, it was with tens of millions of tons of Divine Core Energy Crystals. The piece he had just given was only one kilogram.

Now Chu Qin was even more baffled; how could a mysterious expert, capable of recognizing his True Dragon Eye, be chased down by a bunch of unsophisticated mortals!

Thinking this, Chu Qin turned around only to find that the old man had disappeared.

"Eh, Xixue, where did that old man go just now?" Chu Qin asked Xiao Xiyue with bewilderment.

"He was just here a moment ago!" Xiao Xiyue responded, somewhat confused.

"There!" Xiao Xiyue pointed at a candied haw stall.

There, the drunken old man, holding a skewer of candied haws, was nibbling away.

"Let's go!" Chu Qin said, leading Xiao Xiyue towards the old man.

"Ah? Chu Qin, why are we bothering with him?" Xiao Xiyue asked in confusion, "The urgent matter is saving my father!"

"He should know where your father is!" Chu Qin glanced at the True Dragon Eye atop the mountain and walked toward the old man.
