Thinking of this, Gu Changqing couldn't help but smile smugly.
"Senior Gu, in my opinion, it's better for you to deal with those people. After all, they are all disciples of my sect, and I feel a little reluctant to do so. It would be more appropriate for you to take action, so you can rest assured. Besides, you came here to seek revenge, wouldn't it be a waste if you didn't do it yourself?" The sect master of Hun Tian Sect said tactfully, his expression slightly unnatural.
Actually, the sect leader of the Hun Tian Sect wasn't unwilling to do it, but he was afraid of leaving any potential trouble behind. It would be more reliable for Senior Gu to do it personally. This way, Senior Gu would feel at ease, and he would be at ease. Even if Senior Gu wanted to find fault in the future, there wouldn't be any fault to find.
"Chief Gu, you should deal with those people yourself. Otherwise, I think the Sect Master will be restless and unable to eat or sleep properly. He's afraid you'll cause him trouble because of this." Liu Qianqian was very observant and noticed the Sect Master's predicament at a glance, so she spoke directly.
As clever as Gu Changqing was, how could he not see through the sect leader's little scheme? However, he could understand the sect leader's thoughts. The sect leader probably thought that it was better to do less than more. The more you do, the more mistakes you make, so it's better to do nothing.
"Alright, since the sect leader is in such a difficult position, then I, Gu, will reluctantly grant your request. Anyway, for me, killing a few more people is no problem, and I have no psychological burden. So please bring those people up, sect leader." Gu Changqing smiled faintly, not making things difficult for anyone, and responded directly.
Upon hearing this, the sect leader of the Hun Tian Sect was overjoyed and said to his disciples, "Go and bring up the disciples under the Red-Clothed Elder who have committed offenses. Hurry up."
"Yes, Sect Master," the subordinate replied solemnly, then scurried away like a rabbit.
In no time, the disciples were brought before everyone in the main hall.
"Kneel down!" the sect leader said coldly, his face grim.
Although the disciples didn't understand what was going on, they saw that the atmosphere was very strange, so they didn't say anything. Without saying a word, they did as they were told and knelt down on the ground with a thud.
"Do you know why I sent you all here?" the sect leader said in a cold, expressionless voice.
The disciples shook their heads in disbelief, not knowing why.
"Since you don't know, then I'll give you a heads-up. I've called you here because it's related to the Qingyun Sect," Gu Changqing said with a slight smile, kindly reminding you.
Upon hearing that it was related to the Qingyun Sect, these people's expressions changed. They went from being confused to looking flustered, and anyone with eyes could tell that they had something to hide.
Of course, Gu Changqing's sharp eyes caught their panicked expressions. Judging from their behavior, even if Gu Changqing didn't say anything, they definitely knew why they had come here.
Then, Gu Changqing, with a serious expression, asked, "Do you remember anything now?"
The sect leader also said from the side, "These two are from the Qingyun Sect. You had better tell the truth, or you will suffer."
"We didn't do anything, we just ran into some disciples of the Qingyun Sect, had a quarrel, said some unpleasant things, and then a fight broke out. We all suffered some minor injuries, but fortunately neither side was seriously hurt," one of the disciples said, mustering his courage to recall the events of that day.
"Are you sure everyone is alright? It's not that the people from your Hun Tian Sect are all alright, it's that our Qing Yun Sect disciple is in trouble. One of our disciples died from his injuries. We're here today to demand an explanation." Liu Qianqian snorted coldly, her tone icy.
"Now you know why you were brought here, right?" Gu Changqing smiled faintly, his expression calm rather than angry.
Hearing Gu Changqing and Liu Qianqian's words, the disciples were startled, their faces turning ashen. They all had a bad feeling. They knew that Xu Yitao had been called away and had not returned. They had not seen him here either, so his fate was probably not good.
Thinking of this, they couldn't help but panic and tremble.
"What, are you all mute? Do you think everything will be fine if you don't speak? You both know about Elder Red Robe and Xu Yitao, right? They have already received their due punishment for this matter, and you will be no exception." Gu Changqing sneered and said expressionlessly.
"Punishment? What kind of punishment???" The red-robed elder and Xu Yitao couldn't possibly be beaten to death, could they? They couldn't help but wonder to themselves.
As if knowing what they were thinking, Gu Changqing said to himself, "Want to know what the punishment is? I can tell you!"
At first, they all nodded, indicating they wanted to know, but then they shook their heads, indicating they didn't want to know anymore.
Why is that? Actually, they are afraid that this outcome will also be their final outcome. They are extremely conflicted and find it very difficult to bear. They are caught in a dilemma, unable to move forward or backward.
"Chief Gu, don't let them speculate. Look how scared they've become. Why don't you just tell them?" Liu Qianqian said casually with a faint smile.
"Alright, since Miss Liu has spoken, let's do a good deed and tell you that you will never see Elder Red and Xu Yitao again. They have gone to another world."
Gu Changqing smiled slightly and said in a very tactful way.
Upon hearing these words, the kneeling disciples were so frightened that they felt weak all over, their limbs went limp, and their hearts pounded with fear.
"Don't be afraid, I haven't finished speaking yet. But don't worry, since you've all known each other, I'll go all the way and help you all the way. I'll reunite you with them in a little while, so they won't be lonely." Seeing their trembling faces, Gu Changqing couldn't help but smile and continued.
What? What did he mean by that? Their faces changed drastically, filled with terror. Without saying a word, they all kowtowed and begged for mercy, weeping bitterly.
"Senior, please spare us! We were wrong in every way. We shouldn't have provoked the Qingyun Sect. We will never dare to do it again. Please forgive us and let us go..."
"Senior, we were wrong, we know we were wrong, please give us a chance, a chance to admit our mistakes and correct them..."
"Senior, we were blind to your greatness and offended your sect's disciples. We can apologize now and ask for their forgiveness, would that be alright?"
Gu Changqing scoffed at their pleas for mercy, coldly replying, "If apologies were useful, what use would I be? Sorry, I cannot grant your requests, nor do I like trash kneeling before me." Gu Changqing smiled faintly, calmly answering.
Upon hearing this, the disciples turned pale with fright and knelt down, begging for mercy: "Senior, please have mercy! We really don't want to die! Please, have mercy on us! We promise there will never be a next time. We will avoid anyone from your Qingyun Sect!"
