Douluo: Starting with the Signing in of Goddess Xiaowu

"Really?" Luo Gushen, Yuè Yīnà, Luo Yiyi, and the others were all thrilled as they spoke.

"Mm," the Pangu Empress nodded, "The battle should be nearing its end."

"I'm dying of anxiety here, when will Chu Qin come out!"

Xiaowu appeared extremely worried, yet she couldn't bear to blame him, her palms ceaselessly rubbing together in her agitation.

"Look, here he comes!" At that moment, Yuè Yīnà pointed towards the direction of Changming Star. Everyone followed her gesture, and indeed, they saw Chu Qin flying towards them.

Everyone showed an excited and thrilled expression, except for Yan Donghuang and Dian Taiyi.

"Chu Qin!" Xiaowu was the first one to get excited; she flew over and embraced Chu Qin in midair.

Chu Qin hugged Xiaowu and, with a smile, approached the Pangu Empress and the others.

"Chu Qin, how did it go?" Luo Gushen and Yuè Yīnà asked excitedly.

"Yes, Fellow Chu Qin, what's the situation?"

"What about Xuan Mo?"

"Has he been subdued?"

The various Elders and clan heads asked one after another.

Chu Qin smiled faintly and looked towards the Pangu Empress, "You have to keep your word."

"If Xuan Mo has truly been killed by you, I naturally won't go back on my word," the Pangu Empress said affirmatively.

"Good, that's what you said." As Chu Qin spoke, one hand held Xiaowu, while the other snapped his fingers, and a black Imperial Seal appeared in front of him!

"The Imperial Seal!"

"Xuan Mo's empyrean seal!"

"Xuan Mo is really dead!"

At this, all the emperors became unsettled. Although they didn't know by what means Chu Qin had succeeded, the fact that he could kill Xuan Mo meant that, regardless of the method, this Chu Qin was no ordinary person.

The way they looked at Chu Qin had completely changed; there was excitement, admiration, and respect.

For Luo Gushen, Yuè Yīnà, Luo Yiyi, and the rest, the excitement was immeasurable.

Now, the Luo Family had truly risen among the Ancient Families!

The Pangu Empress also showed a faintly surprised and pleased expression, but as she was about to examine the Xuanmo Empyrean Seal, it had already been taken back by Chu Qin, "This is my trophy, Empress, you have to stand by your word."

"Mm, Chu Qin, you have gotten rid of Xuan Mo; I once said I would agree to one request from you, speak now, what is your condition?" the Pangu Empress said.

"Any condition I ask for?" Chu Qin asked with a smile.

"As long as it is within my power, and does not go against the ancestral teachings and the interests of the Ancient Families, I can agree to it," the Pangu Empress said with her head slightly bowed.

"Then, I won't be polite." Chu Qin smiled and said, "I want to become the Supreme Elder of the Ancient Family!"

"What!" Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned in their places. One burly elder with a face covered in horizontal scars and another skinny one like a bamboo pole, had their expressions stiffen even more.

These two were none other than the second Elder of the Pangu Family, Sheng Lai, and the Great Elder, Ru Tian.

"You want to become the Supreme Elder of the Ancient Family?" the Pangu Empress, with her brows slightly raised, also asked.

"Why not?" Chu Qin asked with a smile, "Or is it that my strength and qualifications are not enough?"

"Your strength is beyond question, and as for qualifications, you are the husband of Luo Yiyi, the grandson-in-law of the Luo Family. The position of Supreme Elder within the Ancient Family can only be held by a member of the Ancient Family, and you are considered one of them," the Pangu Empress nodded and said, "However, this is not within my power to decide."

"Pirate Empress!" At this moment, the old man with a face full of fleshy creases, who was also the Sheng Lai Elder, said, "The position of Supreme Elder of the Ancient Family is of high authority! It must be approved by the Elder with the greatest seniority, and both the Elder Hall and you, Pirate Empress, must agree."

"That's not right, I remember the rules laid down by the Pangu Ancestor," Luo Gushen spoke at this time, "Being faithful to the Ancient Family and the strongest of all, and those who have made significant contributions, can serve as the Supreme Elder of the Ancient Family. Chu Qin killed Xuan Mo and helped the Middle Ancient Great World eradicate its greatest scourge in history. Does this not count as a significant contribution? And in terms of strength, Chu Qin is undoubtedly the strongest!"

"Luo Gushen!" Sheng Lai Elder said, "But no one has seen Chu Qin's strength just now, how can we say he is the strongest! Moreover, the Pirate Empress has just mentioned that a third power has emerged on Changming Star. Who knows, maybe Chu Qin took advantage of the situation to slay Xuan Mo? And as far as I know, Chu Qin isn't truly a son-in-law of the Luo Family; can an outsider assume the position of Supreme Elder?"

"You old bastard!" Yuè Yīnà cursed out loud, speaking up for Chu Qin, "You don't have the ability to annihilate Xuan Mo, and now that my Chu Qin has done it, you're saying he cheated, you're so shameless!"

"You Luo family members are usually so submissive, I didn't expect that once Chu Qin arrived, you all started jumping around! This is what's known as 'borrowing a tiger's might', you dog..." Sheng Lai Elder said without change of expression.

"Enough!"

However, before Sheng Lai Elder could finish his sentence, he was directly interrupted by the Pangu Empress. Sheng Lai's failure to acknowledge Chu Qin's strength was his unwillingness to accept the fact that Chu Qin had the ability to become Supreme Elder, but the Pangu Empress was very clear-headed.

To annihilate Xuan Mo was not something that could be accomplished through opportunism.

If they offended Chu Qin, the Ancient Family might very well offend another Extremely Evil Aristocrat Family, which was absolutely not an option.

Just as the Pangu Empress was about to speak, Chu Qin's mouth curled up slightly. Looking at Sheng Lai and Ru Tian, he said, "I understand, you mean I haven't proven my strength yet, right?"

"Exactly!" Sheng Lai Elder nodded confidently.

"Well then, how many people are there in your Elder Hall?" Chu Qin asked.

"Everyone who is able to enter the Elder Hall of the Ancient Family is a peak force in the universe. Not long ago, Elder Changsun Mingwang passed away, so there are still nine of us in the Elder Hall!" Sheng Lai Elder said with full confidence, "They include the Great Elder Ru Tian, the second elder, me, the third elder Dizang..."

"Okay, no need to continue. All nine of you, come at me!" Chu Qin interrupted Sheng Lai Elder with a smile.

Chu Qin's words were not impulsive. Being new to the Ancient Family and seeking its highest position naturally required their complete conviction!

Sheng Lai's expression suddenly became serious, his smile vanished, and all the other family elders were shocked. The Pangu Empress was also taken aback.

"You heard me correctly, all nine, come at once. If I lose, I'll ask for nothing!" Chu Qin said with a light smile, looking at the somewhat stunned crowd.

"Are you joking? Even the Pirate Empress is not certain she could defeat the whole Elder Hall!" Great Elder Ru Tian frowned deeply.

"Well, do you dare to bet?" Chu Qin looked at Ru Tian and Sheng Lai with a ghostly gaze.

"Fine, then let's do as you say!" Sheng Lai could hardly hide his annoyance at Chu Qin's arrogant aura.

"Then, let's begin!" Chu Qin said nonchalantly.

Upon hearing these words, all the elders entered into a combat state, and at that moment, Luo Gushen spoke, "Ru Tian, Sheng Lai, I naturally support Chu Qin. Therefore, I abstain!"

Chu Qin smiled calmly. Luo Gushen was reducing pressure on him, although it wasn't necessary, but Chu Qin still felt grateful to Luo Gushen deep down.

"Our Qinglong Family also supports Fellow Chu Qin!" said a kind-faced old man with dragon horns on his head.

"Long Wusheng, you!" Sheng Lai's expression tightened.

"As the head of the Qinglong Family, I always sense something familiar when I'm around Fellow Chu Qin," Long Wusheng said, looking at Chu Qin, "Fellow Chu Qin, do you carry the Qinglong Bloodline in you?"

"I do," Chu Qin replied without elaborating. At that moment, Chu Qin remembered what Shi Tian Di had said – there was a family within the Ancient Family that revered the Azure Dragon; it must be Long Wusheng's Qinglong Family, no doubt.

"Good, then I abstain," Long Wusheng said, nodding with satisfaction.

"So with three gone from ten, that leaves only seven!" Xiaowu counted on her fingers.
