As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present changed their expressions, including the ladies and Gu Changqing.
Before Gu Changqing could speak, the city lord's eldest son said directly, "Hmph, I don't believe you are stronger than our father. When my father comes out of seclusion, he will probably slap you to death. Do you believe me?"
"I'm sorry, I don't believe you, but if that's your opinion, then I have nothing more to say. Now tell me when your father will emerge from seclusion. If it's not long, I can wait for him a bit, but if it's long, well, that's hard to say."
At this point, Gu Changqing stopped abruptly, believing that the city lord's eldest son should already understand his meaning.
The city lord's eldest son understood the meaning behind his words, but coldly replied, "I'm sorry, my father has been in seclusion for a long time, about ten years ago. When he went into seclusion, he told me that this seclusion would take about twenty years. Now twelve years have passed, and there are still eight years left. If you want to wait, then wait here. If you don't want to wait and want to break into the cultivation room, then we can't be sure what kind of blow you will suffer when you come out of the cultivation room. Our father is a dignified Quasi-Immortal Emperor level existence. Don't be careless and end up in trouble."
The eldest son's face was gloomy. Yes, he was shocked by Gu Changqing's strength, but after catching his breath, he laughed. No matter how strong you are, can you be as strong as our father? It's true that you can slap your eighth brother away, but the problem is that your father can do the same thing easily. Who do you think you are? Do you really think you can be so arrogant and lawless in Kowloon City?
"Hehe, a mere Quasi-Immortal Emperor is nothing to me. Well then, since you speak so arrogantly, I'm not going to waste any more words with you. I'll show you now how terrifying a true Immortal Emperor is, far beyond what some trashy Quasi-Immortal Emperors can compare to."
At this point, Gu Changqing flicked his sleeve, and the void exploded instantly, as if a nuclear bomb had detonated in the void. Powerful shockwaves pressed down layer by layer, as if the entire universe had been crushed down, causing everyone's expression to change and their faces to turn pale with shock.
"Holy crap! An Immortal Emperor! He's actually an Immortal Emperor! He's a powerful Immortal Emperor! My God, he's so much stronger than my father! Oh my god, what are we going to do?"
"What's going on? How can this person be so powerful? My God, even the strongest person in Kowloon City can't suppress him. Damn it, how can this person be so strong?"
As Gu Changqing unleashed his cultivation, everyone in the City Lord's Mansion—including his eight sons, servants, steward, and the second-in-command—was shocked and utterly astonished.
Not only that, but everyone in Kowloon City felt an immense aura at the same time. This aura seemed to come from ancient times, causing people to feel a suppression deep in their souls. They all knelt on the ground, bent over, unable to straighten their backs under this pressure, and almost died instantly.
The oppressive aura was truly terrifying, making everyone feel as if they were standing on the edge of an abyss. Everyone could clearly feel that with just a thought, the other party would explode on the spot and turn into blood mist. If the other party wanted to destroy this city, it would also only take a thought to turn the city into ruins, making it a thing of the past, with not a blade of grass growing there.
Countless people were covered in cold sweat, drenched in sweat.
Inside the city lord's mansion.
Looking at the shocked expressions on everyone's faces, Gu Changqing said coldly, "I don't know if your father is stronger than me, but I can say for sure that what you just said means that a true Immortal Emperor is inferior to a Quasi-Immortal Emperor. After all, I am already an Immortal Emperor, while your father is only a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, yet you say he is stronger than me. So it seems that a Quasi-Immortal Emperor is indeed much stronger than a true former Emperor. Well then, after I come out of seclusion in the cultivation room, I must find your father and slap him to death. If I can't kill him with one slap, then I, Gu, will slap him to death. You don't need to waste any more words. My mind is made up, and you can't refuse."
"Oh my god, my father is dying!"
"Oh my god, how did we get involved with someone like that!"
Upon hearing this, all eight sons of the city lord were shocked and turned pale.
They weren't fools, and they naturally understood what Gu Changqing meant. He simply didn't intend to kill their father earlier, but now, because of their rudeness, he was going to slap their father to death. This was terrible! What were they going to do?
For a moment, they were as anxious as ants on a hot pan, running around in circles.
The eldest son's face turned pale and then red, wishing he could disappear into the ground. He quickly took out a bunch of keys and said, "Senior, I was wrong just now, I was really wrong. I spoke recklessly and nonsense. I hope you won't hold it against me. This is the key to the cultivation room. Please go in and go into seclusion. My father wants to have a good drink with you after he comes out. What do you think?"
"Hehe, I think a cup is unnecessary. If he turns into blood, I'd rather drink a cup of his blood. By the way, not only your father, but everyone in your city lord's mansion will turn into blood later. Alright, I'm short on time, so I won't waste any more words with you. Farewell."
After saying that, Gu Changqing disappeared like a gust of wind, heading to their training room.
It was only just now that Gu Changqing realized that the cultivation room was located underground in the City Lord's Mansion, probably a million miles underground, incredibly deep, almost comparable to the deep sea. He hadn't even noticed it before because he wasn't paying close attention.
As for the key, well, there's no need for a key at all. Just punch the door open and walk in without any hindrance.
Upon seeing Gu Changqing disappear, the remaining eight sons turned pale and then red, trembling all over and breaking out in a cold sweat.
They all complained bitterly, "Brother, how could you do this? Now we're all going to die with you!"
"Pah! We used to think you were our big brother and that we had to respect you, but now you've led us to our doom!"
"Not only that, even your father is going to be buried with you. If we offend such a powerful figure, we have no way to survive!"
