Upon hearing these words, the sect leader of the Hun Tian Sect felt his face burning with embarrassment. He had intended to show off and establish his prestige, but the opposite had happened. Not only had he lost face, but he had also almost lost his life. It was truly shameful, utterly humiliating.

"Why are all the people in your Hun Tian Sect the same? Why do you all become mute at the drop of a hat? I hate people like you the most. If you don't speak up, don't blame me for massacring the Hun Tian Sect!" Gu Changqing snorted coldly and said in a deep voice.

"Fellow Daoist Gu, no, Senior Gu, my sect was blind to your greatness and offended your people. It's all because I, as the sect leader, am incompetent. If you want to kill, then kill. I am not as skilled as you and dare not beg for mercy. Target me directly, but I beg you, Senior Gu, not to massacre my sect's innocent disciples." The sect leader of the Hun Tian Sect said with a resolute and fearless expression.

At this moment, he had disregarded life and death, and his only wish was to save the lives of the innocent disciples of the sect as much as possible.

"Good, you're not afraid of death or begging for mercy. You do have some courage and are somewhat befitting a sect leader. This is the kind of person I admire most in my life. I originally intended to slap you to death, but now I've changed my mind and will spare your life," Gu Changqing said with a faint smile.

"Thank you for your mercy, Senior Gu. I am deeply grateful." The sect leader looked surprised and felt very fortunate.

If he had known that he was no match for Senior Gu, and had tried to force his way in, he would have been no match for him and would probably have ended up in a miserable state, not even able to save his life, and not even have a complete corpse.

"Senior Gu, um... may I stop now?"

Finally, the red-robed elder stopped and said something tremblingly. He thought that Senior Gu should have calmed down by now. Since he could let go of the sect leader, he could definitely let him go too. So he mustered up his courage and asked a question.

"Did I tell you to stop? Keep kowtowing." Gu Changqing glanced at him and said indifferently.

Bang bang bang!!!

The elder in red looked utterly hopeless, dared not say another word, and continued kowtowing.

He was dizzy from kowtowing. He didn't know how many times he had done it. Standing there, his head was spinning and his vision was blurry. He could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground with a thud. He was so weak that he didn't even have the strength to get up.

"Senior Gu, I really can't kowtow anymore. Please have mercy on me, please beg me." The red-robed elder pleaded again.

"Alright, since you can't kowtow anymore, I won't make things difficult for you any further. How about I send you to your final rest so you can finally rest peacefully forever?" Gu Changqing said with a smirk, seemingly indifferent.

Then, with a wave of his hand, an extremely terrifying and shocking scene unfolded.

The red-robed elder saw that the other party merely swept a large hand across the sky, and instantly the void exploded, the universe trembled, and terrifying cracks, like rifts in a terrifying cosmic chasm, were forcibly opened. Countless surging gales burst forth, and one after another, pitch-black auras, like the dark side of the world, swept across the heavens and enveloped the universe.

The terrifying power erupted in full force, and a palm slammed down on the red-robed elder.

The red-robed elder was instantly terrified, his eyes widening to the size of eggs, his mouth agape as if an egg could fit inside, and he was so frightened that he stopped trembling.

He never imagined that his opponent would be so powerful. With just one hand, he was so fierce. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed it. And now he could hardly believe that this palm was actually coming towards him.

Good heavens, I never expected to die like this today. He was completely powerless to fight back. Even the sect leader could never unleash such power. It seems that this person is not only stronger than his sect leader, but many times stronger.

Thinking of this, he broke out in a cold sweat, feeling utterly hopeless. As if he were ill, he became completely listless, stopped struggling, and slowly closed his eyes to await death, because further resistance was useless and superfluous.

In the blink of an eye, the palm struck the red-robed elder's head, crushing him as if he were being crushed by an ancient mountain. With a splatter, his body, bones and skin, flesh and blood, was pressed into a meat patty.

The next moment, the meat pie exploded into a boundless mist of blood with a crack, dying a truly gruesome death.

The sect leader of the Hun Tian Sect, along with everyone present, was terrified, completely disoriented, and utterly terrified. He secretly thought to himself, "Thank goodness it wasn't me who died."

The sect leader wanted to beg for his life, but after thinking it over, he decided against it. Having just escaped from the brink of death, he shouldn't meddle in other people's business. He only hoped that Senior Gu could resolve this matter as soon as possible and give everyone some peace and quiet.

"Senior Gu, you can do whatever you want with the people. Do you have any other requests? Please tell me, and I will do my best to cooperate." The sect master of Hun Tian Sect said sincerely.

"Since you've put it that way, it wouldn't be right for me to refuse. So I'll grant your wish. I want you all to be polite to my Qingyun Sect disciples from now on," Gu Changqing said with a faint smile.

"Alright, of course." The sect leader agreed without hesitation.

"Also, the Hun Tian Sect will become an affiliated sect of the Qing Yun Sect. It will still be managed by the sect leader, but the Qing Yun Sect must unconditionally obey the orders of the Qing Yun Sect in case of any problems," Gu Changqing asked with a half-smile.

The sect leader said with a helpless expression, "I will do whatever you say, senior."

He smiled bitterly to himself and reluctantly agreed, saying that he could only blame himself for his lack of ability, otherwise he wouldn't have ended up being manipulated by others.

"Finally, you must pay top-grade spirit stones to my Qingyun Sect every year without fail. I will check from time to time," Gu Changqing said with a faint smile.

"Oh, right, and those disciples who fought with the Qingyun Sect, none of them can be spared. As for this opportunity to fight, I'll give it to you. But if I find out that you've abused your power, your crimes will be compounded. Don't blame me for wiping out the Huntian Sect." Gu Changqing smiled slightly and said directly.

He originally planned to massacre the Hun Tian Sect today, but later changed his mind because of the sect leader. Whether the Hun Tian Sect was wiped out or not was not important. What mattered was that he had avenged the sect's disciples, won back the sect leader's face, made the Hun Tian Sect look at him with new eyes, and made them look superior to them from now on. Moreover, he could also get a lot of spirit stones for the Qing Yun Sect. No matter how you look at it, this deal was a win-win situation.

Thinking of this, Gu Changqing couldn't help but smile smugly.
