The boy curled his lip and said angrily, "Fine, then I'll just consider it a misunderstanding. But this misunderstanding has turned us into enemies, and we almost lost our lives. As the ones who caused this misunderstanding, you should be punished for both reason and morality."
"Any punishment is fine as long as it doesn't cost us our lives," they said, their eyes lighting up as they quickly inquired.
The boy thought for a long time, shook his head, and said helplessly, "I originally planned to spare your lives, but after thinking it over and over, I can't think of any punishment that can relieve my hatred. I can only use your lives as punishment."
"What? How dare you go back on your word and play us for fools? Damn it! Brothers, let's fight him! Maybe we still have a chance to survive. We can't just do nothing and let him kill us. Charge!" a burly disciple said angrily.
He simply couldn't stand being manipulated and living under the threat of others, having to endure their whims and knowing he would still die anyway, so he decided to fight back.
After saying this, the disciple conjured a large sword in his hand and, without another word, charged directly at the young man.
The other disciples hesitated and did not make a move.
The boy remained calm and composed, casually throwing a large punch.
"Boom!"
The two attacks collided violently, producing a deafening explosion that echoed through the sky, causing the void to dissipate instantly.
The boy's fist struck the disciple's broadsword, which shattered like foam upon contact, leaving not a trace. The boy's fist continued forward, aimed directly at the chest, and a large chunk of the heart was instantly removed.
Blood splattered everywhere, and the disciple, looking utterly shocked, collapsed to the ground, lifeless.
While the two were fighting, the other disciples saw this and didn't say anything. They turned around and ran away again, no longer caring about brotherhood.
Gu Changqing sneered, full of disdain. Without saying a word, he chased after them and firmly restrained them, making them unable to move.
After a breath, the boy ran over.
Seeing that those people were all controlled by their "master" and could not move at all.
"You've come at the right time. You can handle these people; after all, you have a deep grudge against them," Gu Changqing said with a faint smile.
Seeing this, the boy stopped talking and spread his five fingers, slapping several people with a series of booming sounds.
Suddenly, the void roared and cracked open with a huge fissure. A violent storm arose, and the sky was shattered like a series of exploding bombs. Shockwaves roared and swept across the sky, terrifying to the extreme.
This palm strike was so terrifying that it caused a great change in the world, and the sun and moon dimmed.
"No! No! No..." Their mouths trembled, their hearts pounded, and their faces turned pale and lifeless.
As these slaps landed, they clearly felt as if an incomparably towering mountain was relentlessly pressing down on them. They were no match for it and had absolutely no power to resist!
Moreover, they could clearly sense that the other party was not using his full strength at all. My God, how could this person be so strong? They really shouldn't have provoked him. They were filled with regret. If they hadn't provoked him, he wouldn't have become stronger. If he hadn't become stronger, they wouldn't have had all this trouble.
Undeterred, they gritted their teeth and unleashed all the power within them in an instant. Blood surged throughout their bodies, and boundless physical strength erupted as they simultaneously struck out with a palm towards the boy.
With a deafening roar, the two forces clashed violently, causing mountains and rivers hundreds of millions of miles away to explode and split open into abysses. The terrifying force devastated the surrounding area, darkening the sky and earth as if a massive earthquake had occurred.
All that could be heard were screams of agony. The boy slapped these people several times, sending them flying tens of thousands of meters away before finally coming to a stop. All that remained were streaks of blood along the way, a truly terrifying sight.
The boy caught up in the blink of an eye and saw that these people were all dead, their bodies lying haphazardly on the ground, their deaths horrifying.
"Heh, this is what happens when you offend me. You deserve it for bullying me." The boy sneered, raising his eyebrows in triumph.
If they hadn't been so greedy and relentless in their pursuit of his own destruction, he wouldn't have ended up in such a state.

"Indeed, I was right about you. You are decisive and ruthless in killing enemies, and you are also exceptionally talented. You are a rare and promising cultivator. I believe that given time, you will surely achieve great things." Gu Changqing smiled and praised you highly.
"Thank you, Master. If it weren't for your help and the transfer of your skills to me, how could I have avenged myself? I would have been a piece of scrap metal long ago, buried in the earth. I will never forget your great kindness. I am willing to follow you in this life and follow your lead to repay your life-saving grace." The young man said with tears of gratitude, speaking from the bottom of his heart.
"You call me 'Master' quite fluently, kid. I'm not much older than you. As for whether I should be your master, I need to go back to the sect and ask for permission first. Until then, don't call me 'Master,' lest Yu'er feel uncomfortable. Also, you don't need to thank me. I saved you; it's all your good fortune, your life wasn't meant to end there," Gu Changqing said with a slight smile.
The boy was indeed lucky. Gu Changqing, who usually doesn't like to meddle in other people's business, somehow got involved in this matter this time, which saved the boy's life.
"I understand," the boy said earnestly.
"Okay, let's go. Let's meet up with Yu'er and Bai Xue. They must be getting impatient." Gu Changqing said casually with a faint smile.
"Master, who are they?" the boy asked, puzzled.
"Why are you still calling me Master? Yu'er will be unhappy if she hears that. She wants to be my disciple too, but I haven't agreed yet. Please don't call me that yet. I'll introduce them to you when you meet them later," Gu Changqing quickly reminded him.
"I understand," the boy said, scratching his head sheepishly.
The two then fell silent, and with a thought, they shot away in a flash, two streaks of white light disappearing in an instant.
What Gu Changqing didn't know was that the two of them had been waiting anxiously for a long time, especially Bai Xue.
"Why hasn't Master returned yet? Didn't he say he'd be right back? Could he have encountered some danger? Should we go look for him?" Bai Xue asked anxiously, her mind racing with wild thoughts.
“Young Master Gu is so powerful, who can be his match? He’ll definitely be alright. Let’s wait a little longer. If he still hasn’t returned, we’ll go look for him again,” Yu’er said with a slight smile.
