"Such a thing happening in the city, he shouldn't be ignoring it, could it be..."

Before he could finish speaking, the others, not being fools, realized that if the city lord didn't show up under these circumstances, there was only one possibility: he had met with some misfortune!

"What could it be? Why are there always people who never finish their sentences?"

Suddenly, a voice filled with dissatisfaction reached the survivor's ears.

Gu Changqing, however, came to the middle of them and looked at the cultivator who kept talking without finishing his sentence with a displeased expression.

"Forehead……"

Everyone stared in shock at Gu Changqing, who had suddenly appeared in the middle of the room.

When did he arrive? How come they didn't notice him? What if he attacked from behind? That would be...

The crowd imagined Gu Changqing suddenly appearing behind them and stabbing them to death with a single sword strike, and their faces turned deathly pale with fright.

Gu Changqing looked around at the pale-faced, silent crowd and roughly guessed what they were thinking.

"Play a game with me, please."

Before the words were even finished, Gu Changqing didn't wait for anyone to react; his powerful spiritual energy instantly enveloped the group of cultivators.

Seeing the puzzled and fearful expressions on the faces of the crowd, Gu Changqing calmly said:

"I'm not someone who kills innocent people indiscriminately. Play a game with me, and I'll let you go."

After saying that, he released the spiritual energy seal on their heads, allowing them to speak again.

They knew perfectly well that everything that had happened in Rainfall City was the work of the man before them, and quickly agreed.

"Alright, I will follow your instructions, senior."

Seeing the crowd nodding in agreement, Gu Changqing smiled and said:

"Alright, the rules of the game are as follows."

"You... well, 37 people, need to be divided into red and blue groups. As for which group to join, that's up to you."

"There are still many mortals and low-level cultivators in the sky. The red team needs to save as many people as possible, while the blue team needs to stop them."

"If the red team saves more than 100 people after all the people in the air have landed, the red team wins; otherwise, the blue team wins."

"From now on, the red team will stand to my left, and the blue team will stand to my right. The reward is your own lives, understand?"

After saying that, Gu Changqing released everyone from their restraints and watched with interest as they frantically tried to grab what they were holding.

Soon, under Gu Changqing's gaze, the 37 people chose their teams.

Seventeen of them chose the red side because of a sense of justice or because their loved ones in the sky needed saving.

The remaining 20 people, either alone or too selfish, chose the blue team.

"The game begins."

As Gu Changqing's voice reached everyone's ears, the two quickly flew into the crowd.

One of the cultivators from the red team suddenly accelerated and rushed towards a woman who was about to land.

Just as he was about to catch the falling woman, a cultivator from the blue faction blocked his way.

The red-robed cultivator, forced to stop, could only watch helplessly as the woman crashed to the ground, turning into a pool of blood that splattered everywhere.

"Aaaaaah! No, Qian'er! Li Lin, I will kill you today!"

The pool of blood seemed to be someone important to him, now glaring angrily at the blue-skinned cultivator who had just blocked his way, roaring fiercely.

The cultivator he called Li Lin grinned wickedly and said in a sarcastic tone:

"Oh ho ho, you're in such a hurry? She's just an ordinary woman. With your Golden Core cultivation, Wang Bao, you can take as many as you want."

However, Wang Bao, who was already extremely angry, could not hear his words at this moment. He immediately drew his long sword with a furious expression and attacked Li Lin.

In the blink of an eye, the two were locked in combat. Not only them, but also the other sides in the area were engaged in battle for various reasons.

Not far from them, Gu Changqing was intently watching the fight, which was even more realistic than a 3D movie, while taking out some food from the storage ring that the city lord had dropped and eating it as he watched.

"The food of this cultivator is indeed much tastier than the mortal food of my previous life,"

Just as he was considering whether to capture someone to cook for him, the last mortal in the sky fell to the ground, adding another splash of color to this blood-red city.

The game lasted only a minute from start to finish. From beginning to end, the red team, with fewer players, had no chance of winning. But a game is just a game, and the outcome is what matters most. Nobody cares about fairness.

After finishing the last piece of food in his hand, Gu Changqing announced the ending of the game.

"Game over, blue team wins."

As soon as the words were spoken, the 17 red-team cultivators instantly transformed into dazzling fireworks, disappearing before the eyes of the relieved blue-team cultivators.

"Thank you, senior!"

The surviving Blue Team cultivators all bowed to Gu Changqing in gratitude.

"No need to thank me. Your performance did not please me, so your fate will be the same."

Gu Changqing spoke calmly. To him, these locals were like NPCs; if they couldn't bring him joy, then their fate would be destruction.

As for promises? Please, who would care about an NPC? If you're unhappy, just kill them. Max-level players don't need to rely on NPC favorability to complete quests like newbies.

However, Gu Changqing still gave them a few last seconds to let them fully experience the fear of death.

Sure enough, in just a few seconds, dozens of different faces appeared. In my previous life, there would have been no such thing as Oscar-winning actors.

After admiring the final expressions of these indigenous people, Gu Changqing once again witnessed the brilliance of twenty fireworks.

Indeed, beauty is always fleeting.

After witnessing this fleeting moment of brilliance, Gu Changqing shook his head and couldn't help but sigh.

After saying that, he looked down at the city stained red with blood, and stroked his chin with some boredom, thinking about what to do next.

If anyone were to come here later, they would probably be shocked and wide-eyed. A large city with a Nascent Soul City Lord and dozens of Golden Core cultivators guarding it had just become an empty city.

No one could have imagined that all of this, from beginning to end, would only take a few minutes.

Gu Changqing had lost interest in the dead city, so he randomly chose a direction and slowly flew away in the sky.

The sun hanging in the sky was dozens of times larger than in the previous life. If mortals stayed in the sky for too long, they would probably turn into charred human sticks.

But for Gu Changqing now, the scorching sunlight felt warm and pleasant on his body, like enjoying a sunbath with a sea breeze.
