Upon hearing this, the man in black was shocked and felt a chill run down his spine. His heart sank to the bottom of the sea, and a sense of fear and unease swept over him.

Seeing the man in black's face change drastically, turning pale and weak, Gu Changqing felt extremely pleased.

Immediately afterward, Gu Changqing waved his hand, and the divine sword in his hand reappeared before him. A terrifying aura swept over, sealing off everything within a radius of ten thousand miles. A chilling light radiated outwards, as he prepared to kill them all in one fell swoop, leaving no one alive.

Just then, a voice suddenly begged for mercy.

"Wait a minute, sir! Today's events were my fault. I will never dare to do it again. I had no intention of offending you; it was just a momentary lapse in judgment. Please give me a chance. If you are willing to be merciful and let me go, I am willing to give up my beautiful wife and concubines, just to ask you to spare me this once..."

"Weren't you just swearing you'd kill me? How come you've changed your mind now? You really are a man of your word. Fine, I can take care of your beautiful wife and concubines. Now that you have my protection, you're no longer of any use," Gu Changqing said with a cold laugh.

Having said that, Gu Changqing didn't want to waste any more words with him. He raised the divine sword in his hand and flew towards him like lightning.

Upon seeing this, the men in black gasped, swallowed hard, their faces turned ashen, and their bodies trembled. They forgot to resist and let Gu Changqing's sword pierce through them.

"No, no..." The man in black's eyes were wide and round, his pupils as big as egg yolks, his mouth was wide open, and he looked like a frightened rabbit.

Click!

Suddenly, a heart-wrenching scream echoed through the sky, but less than a moment later, the agonizing scream vanished, as if it were a dream.

Looking across at the opposite side, all that remained was a cloud of blood mist, which dissipated with the wind, leaving nothing behind.

"Pah, serves you right!" Gu Changqing stood with his hands behind his back, his expression indifferent, as if he had just done a trivial thing.

He then glanced at the time and muttered to himself, "I've wasted quite a bit of time here. Qingcheng must be getting impatient. I should hurry back and check on her."

After saying that, he immediately turned around and went back the way he came.

Jiang Qingcheng was looking around boredly, trying to spot Gu Changqing.

"Qingcheng, I'm back." Gu Changqing smiled slightly and said softly.

"Husband, you're finally back. You look so calm. I'm sure you've taken care of those men in black, haven't you?" Jiang Qingcheng said confidently.

She was so certain because her husband was the strongest person she knew. From the moment she met him, she had never seen anyone make him suffer a loss. If he didn't suffer a loss, it was considered lucky for others.

In Jiang Qingcheng's heart, her husband was like an invincible and unstoppable war god, majestic and domineering.

"Jiang Qingcheng knows me best; there's nothing I can't hide from you," Gu Changqing said with a smile, his tone affectionate.

"You're finally back! We were so worried waiting for you, we thought something had happened to you," the chef said excitedly.

"Do you need to be so nervous about dealing with these insignificant men in black? Why would I, Gu, be afraid of these nobodys?" Gu Changqing said with a faint smile.

“We are not only worried about this problem, but also about the fact that their backers are far more powerful than they are. If their backers come knocking on our door, things will get complicated,” the master said, at a loss.

"The world is vast, but there's nothing that I, Gu, am afraid of. I'm not afraid of their powerful backers either. If their backers dare to come, I'll make them regret it." Gu Changqing smiled slightly and said calmly.

Gu Changqing considered all powerful backers to be insignificant. He was now the strongest person in the world, and no one could possibly defeat him. He had no reason to be afraid.

"Boss, you may not know this, but the backers of these men in black are the most notorious gang in our area. They are ruthless and do all sorts of evil. Their leader is extremely powerful and fearsome; no one has ever been his match," the chef said with some concern.

"Oh, really? I'd like to see how powerful they are, or if I am more powerful. I've been looking for a good opponent. If he comes, we can have a friendly spar!" Gu Changqing smiled faintly, showing no fear whatsoever, but rather great interest.

"Since we're here, let's make the best of it. Since my husband dares to do this, he's not afraid of others coming to our door. I've known my husband for so long, and I've always seen others get beaten up. I've never seen my husband get beaten up before, and I'm afraid I'll never have the chance to see it in my life." Jiang Qingcheng smiled slightly and said confidently.

"If there's nothing else, why don't we go back to the Qingyun Sect?" Gu Changqing said with a faint smile.

"My benefactor, please wait a moment, allow my son and I to pack our belongings before we leave," the driver hurriedly said.

They don't know how long they'll be gone, and it's always good to bring some clothes when you're traveling.

"Alright, you guys pack up first. I'll go out for a bit and come back to find you later." Gu Changqing nodded in agreement.

"Husband, where are you going? I'll go with you," Jiang Qingcheng asked curiously.

"No need, I'll just wander around for a bit and be right back. You wait here for the two of them. If someone comes looking for us and neither of us is there, they're doomed," Gu Changqing suddenly remembered something and gave this special instruction.

“Yes, what you said makes sense, my husband. I didn’t expect you to be so thoughtful, even considering this point. Then you can go by yourself, my husband. I’ll stay here and watch over you,” Jiang Qingcheng said with a sudden realization.

At this moment, the backer behind the man in black realized that something had happened to the people he sent, because their command tokens were all broken.

He frowned, his anger burning. He wondered who was so powerful that they could kill his group of subordinates. One of the subordinates he sent out was a Quasi-Saint peak expert, one of his capable men. How could they die so easily? It was truly unbelievable to him.

He took a deep breath and said angrily, "Who killed my subordinate? If I catch him, I'll make him pay!"

He vowed to find the man who killed his men.
