During this period, Gu Changqing had nothing to do in the sect. He spent his days either cultivating or staying in the houses of Jiang Qingcheng, Meiniang, and the others, living a carefree and happy life.

One morning, Gu Changqing was sleeping when Elder Liu suddenly sent someone to find him.

"Husband, are you awake? Elder Liu requests your presence at the sect's main hall," Jiang Qingcheng said gently with a slight smile.

"Disturbing my sleep so early in the morning is really annoying. Tell him to wait until I've had enough sleep before you go," Gu Changqing said, frowning slightly and sounding a little impatient.

Then Gu Changqing turned over and fell fast asleep.

I don't know what's wrong with me lately, but the more I sleep, the more tired I feel, and the less I want to get out of bed.

It wasn't until the sun was high in the sky that he slowly got out of bed and leisurely headed towards the sect's main hall.

Before long, Gu Changqing arrived at the sect's main hall.

Elder Liu was pacing back and forth in the main hall, looking restless and preoccupied.

"Elder Liu, what brings you here so early in the morning?" Gu Changqing asked directly, unaware of the situation.

"Chief Gu, you've finally arrived. I've been waiting for you here for ages. I did have something to discuss with you, otherwise I wouldn't have dared to trouble you," Elder Liu said with a smile, very politely.

"Oh, what is it?" Gu Changqing smiled faintly and asked directly.

"A few days ago, news came that spies from the six major demonic sects had infiltrated our Qingyun Sect," Elder Liu said with a worried expression.

"Spies? These six demonic sects are really not giving up their evil intentions. I rescued the traitors they planted in our sect last time, and they still dare to send spies here. Where are they? I'll tear them to pieces." Gu Changqing snorted coldly and said with a gloomy face.

"Oh, don't even mention it. These spies were all locked up. We were hoping to extract all the information they knew through torture, but somehow they escaped again," Elder Liu said with a worried and regretful expression.

"I can't believe this happened. It's unbelievable. How could a cooked duck fly away? What are the sect's gatekeepers doing? How long have they been gone?" Gu Changqing said, slightly angry.

"It can't be entirely their fault. Their cultivation levels are mostly at the Qi Sea Realm, with the highest being only at the fifth level of the Golden Body Realm. The two spies I captured, on the other hand, were both at the Immortal King level. I was careless and thought that once I caught them, this kind of accident wouldn't happen. They escaped in the latter half of last night," Elder Liu explained.

Elder Liu was filled with remorse. He blamed himself for not thinking things through, which gave those two spies an opportunity.

"If the sect leader finds out about this when she comes out of seclusion, she will definitely blame me. Even if she doesn't blame me, it will still be because I failed in my duty. Where will I put my face then?" Elder Liu continued to say regretfully.

Ultimately, this mistake was caused by my own lack of thorough consideration and poor handling of the situation.

"Why didn't you send someone to tell me sooner? Alright, Elder Liu, you don't need to worry too much. I will find those two spies and tear them to pieces." Gu Changqing said with a faint smile and full of confidence.

"I sent people out to find that spy immediately, thinking that the sect disciples should be able to find them, but there has been no news until now. That's why I got anxious and decided to ask you for help. Now that so much time has passed, I don't have much hope anymore, but I'm not willing to give up and still have a glimmer of hope. I want to try, so I'll have to trouble Chief Gu. If Chief Gu can help me atone for my sins, I will definitely thank you properly in the future." Elder Liu said with a face full of gratitude, secretly delighted.

"Alright, I've got it. Elder Liu, just you wait and see. Now that you have some time, think about what treasure to give me. I'm afraid you won't have decided by the time I get back." Gu Changqing said with a light smile, very confidently.

"Oh, by the way, do they have any physical characteristics? That would make it easier for me to find them," Gu Changqing asked immediately, thinking of this.

"Oh dear, I was so flustered that I forgot to mention that they were both wearing white clothes and had injuries. But I reckon they must have changed their clothes. One was tall and the other short, one was fat and the other thin. The tall one was thin and had a rather effeminate appearance, and seemed rather cunning; the short one was fat, with a big head and ears, and was quite burly. He spoke loudly and had a very outspoken personality." Elder Liu told him everything without reservation.

After hearing Elder Liu's description, Gu Changqing roughly knew the physical characteristics of the two people, making it easier to find them.

"Alright, I understand. Elder Liu, just you wait and see," Gu Changqing said confidently.

Then, without waiting for Elder Liu to speak, he vanished with a thought.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Gu Changqing closed his eyes and scanned his surroundings with his divine sense, trying to find the presence of the two spies.

Perhaps because of the distance, and the fact that they were likely concealing their presence, a quick scan revealed no trace of the two.

However, this was within Gu Changqing's expectations.

If these two people were so easy to find, the people sent by the sect would probably have returned long ago.

If it weren't challenging, would Elder Liu have bothered Gu Changqing?

"But which direction did those two people run off in?" Gu Changqing muttered to himself.

“Now that these two spies have been exposed, they will definitely flee to their own territory. Moreover, since they are injured, they will not be able to escape too quickly. They will most likely find a remote mountain range to heal their wounds,” Gu Changqing said after some deliberation.

"Yes, that must be it." He slapped his thigh and said excitedly.

"Moreover, since they are members of the six major demonic sects, they must have the aura of demonic cultivation on them. Even if they hide it, they cannot escape my discerning eyes, Gu Changqing." Gu Changqing continued to mutter to himself.

If that's the case, finding two people wouldn't be difficult for him.

With that in mind, Gu Changqing set off in the direction of the six major demonic sects.

Not long after, Gu Changqing arrived at a vast mountain.

The mountains here stretch out in a continuous, undulating pattern, forming a circle that looks like a wave from a distance. Inside the circle is a flat, level plain, while outside the circle is covered with lush, verdant trees, forming a natural barrier that makes the area feel very safe. Not far away, there is a winding, crystal-clear river.

The mountains are also covered with all kinds of wildflowers, some red, some pink, and some purple, a riot of colors that look beautiful and smell fragrant. The melodious calls of wild animals and birds can also be heard from time to time, adding to the charm and allure of the place.
