The golden-robed Immortal Emperor trembled with fear and stammered, "I...I know I was wrong. I will never dare to do it again. As long as you can release me, I will agree to anything you want. Please..."

"Since you're so hospitable, then I won't refuse. Hand over whatever treasures you have. As for you, there's no need to keep you here; you're just an eyesore," Gu Changqing said with a slight smile, quite calmly.

Upon hearing this, the Golden-Robed Immortal Emperor felt a surge of panic, and his eyes filled with resentment.

He immediately stood up from the ground and said angrily:

"Since you refuse to release me, senior, then I have no choice but to use all my strength and fight to the death."

"Use whatever tricks you have up your sleeve, you idiot," Gu Changqing said nonchalantly.

After hearing this, the Golden-Robed Immortal Emperor nodded silently without refuting it. Then, he used all his strength to throw a punch towards Gu Changqing's direction.

Gu Changqing smiled coldly, showing no panic whatsoever, remaining motionless and still appearing calm and collected.

"Boom!"

A tremendous explosion resounded through the sky, and the terrifying force struck Gu Changqing squarely.

An unexpected scene unfolded: Gu Changqing was still standing there unharmed, with a faint smile on his face.

The Golden-Robed Immortal Emperor stared in disbelief at the scene before him. "Holy crap, my full-force attack couldn't even scratch this person?"

Good heavens, am I dreaming?

When that punch landed on his opponent, he felt as if his fist had struck an ancient meteorite. It couldn't break through at all; instead, his fist shattered and exploded.

My god, is this the terror of a ninth-level Immortal Emperor?

He felt only despair.

Everyone present was shocked and stunned by what they saw. They never expected that the Golden-Robed Immortal Emperor's full-force attack would not even touch a hair on the other person's head. It was simply unbelievable.

"It's time for me, Gu, to make my move," Gu said calmly.

Without giving the Golden-Robed Immortal Emperor a chance to speak, he slapped him across the face.

The golden-robed immortal emperor was so frightened that he was at a loss for what to do. He instinctively tried to dodge, but it was too late. The other party's palm had already struck. His eyelids twitched violently, and he could only do his best to block with his hands.

"Boom!"

The two attacks collided violently, and in an instant, a deafening explosion rang out. Gu Changqing's palm slammed into the Golden-Robed Immortal Emperor's arm, instantly turning the Golden-Robed Immortal Emperor's arm into popcorn. Immediately afterward, a large hole was punched in his chest, and blood gushed out, a shocking sight!

Gu Changqing's slap continued forward, and in the blink of an eye, a blood-stained hand stabbed out from behind the Golden Robe Immortal Emperor, with blood still dripping from the fingers. Before the Golden Robe Immortal Emperor could react, Gu Changqing's other hand moved with lightning speed, quickly raising and slapping the Golden Robe Immortal Emperor hard on the head!

A scream of agony rang out, and the Golden-Robed Immortal Emperor felt the world darken, the earth shake, and double images appear everywhere before his eyes.

With this slap, he was instantly reduced to a bloody mist, which drifted in the wind and fell down in clumps.

"Holy crap, awesome!"

"Who...who exactly is this big shot, and how is he so powerful?"

The crowd stared in disbelief at the terrifying scene before them, exchanging bewildered glances and speculating about the identity and background of this powerful figure.

After beating the man to a pulp, Gu Changqing saw a storage ring floating in a cloud of blood mist, its silver light gleaming and dazzling.

With a wave of his hand, Gu Changqing sent the storage ring flying out of the blood mist and into his storage ring in the blink of an eye.

He immersed his divine sense into it and immediately discovered that it was all the wealth of the Golden-Robed Immortal Emperor.

The entire fortune of an Immortal Emperor is here.

He then glanced casually at the other people nearby and saw that they all had burning eyes, clearly envious of the large number of treasures he had obtained.

But they could only be envious, since their abilities were inferior to their own.

Sensing Gu Changqing's gaze, these people all lowered their heads, not daring to look again. Just now, this big shot could kill an Immortal Emperor with a single slap, let alone small fry like them.

They were all terrified and at a loss for what to do. They dared not move, their hearts pounding in their throats. They dared not utter a word. If they offended the big boss, they would probably suffer the same fate as the Golden-Robed Immortal Emperor, dying without a complete corpse, turning to ashes, leaving not even a trace.

Gu Changqing withdrew his gaze and continued to scan the storage ring with his divine sense. He saw that it was a small world, glittering with golden light and filled with floating treasures.

Inside were piles of spirit stones, shimmering with golden light. A quick scan with divine sense revealed over eight billion of them. Other items included herbs, pills, weapons, and magical artifacts—everything imaginable was there, countless and dazzling, leaving one speechless with amazement.

The most dazzling item was a sword. It was entirely silver, gleaming with a sharp edge, clearly a treasure. Most importantly, it was enormous, over a hundred meters long, with a thick, heavy back, much like a dragon-slaying sword. If it were to strike, it would undoubtedly be incredibly powerful.

"Holy crap, awesome! I'm rich! I'm rich!" Gu Changqing was overjoyed, and his smile gradually widened.

Due to time constraints, Gu Changqing didn't look at them closely. He glanced at the others and said with a playful smile, "What, aren't you leaving yet? Do you want to be turned into a bloody mist by me along with that idiot from before?"

Everyone present was immediately shocked and panicked, and they all ran away as fast as they could.

Some people even lost a shoe while running.

However, some people were so terrified that their legs wouldn't obey them, and they curled up on the ground, trembling all over.

Gu Changqing glanced at him and saw that it was an elderly man with white hair. He was very old and probably would die in a few days, so there was no need for him to take action.

Thinking of this, Gu Changqing didn't bother to pay any more attention, so as not to waste time.

Then, Gu Changqing flicked his sleeves and gracefully entered the pagoda.

They hadn't taken more than two steps, and hadn't even entered the gate, when they saw a burly man with a leopard's head and piercing eyes swaggering out of the pagoda, holding a divine weapon in his hand and laughing heartily all the way, clearly overjoyed.

Gu Changqing glanced at it and saw that the divine weapon was a golden knife, dazzling and exceptionally sharp, clearly not an ordinary item.

Upon seeing Gu Changqing, the burly man was overjoyed and laughed wildly, "You've come at the right time! I just finished forging this knife, and I don't know how powerful it is yet. Stand still and let me cut you once. If there are no problems, you can leave."

Upon hearing this, Gu Changqing's face immediately showed disdain. He sensed the person and discovered that he was only at the early stage of the Immortal King realm.

This is how they dare to provoke me?

Who gave him the courage?

He then retorted, "What if you kill me?"
