"Since the Palace Master of Baiyue Palace is not here, wouldn't it be a good opportunity to find your Palace Master?" Gu Changqing said calmly, as if deep in thought.
The absence of the Palace Master of Baiyue Palace actually reduced a lot of trouble. It wasn't that Gu Changqing was afraid of anyone, but he felt that things were more convenient, faster, and easier to handle.
"That's right, how come I didn't think of that? I'll go find our palace master right now and see where she's being held!" the guard said, suddenly realizing.
"No need, you don't need to look for her. Just stay here. I have plenty of ways to find out where your palace master is." Gu Changqing stopped the golden-armored guard and said calmly.
With Gu Changqing around, there was nothing that couldn't be solved. He was confident, calm, and had a very strong inner strength.
Honestly, Gu Changqing wasn't worried or afraid at all that the Palace Master of Yuntian Palace had been captured. He was certain that the Palace Master of Baiyue Palace wouldn't dare to do anything to her. After all, capturing the Palace Master wasn't the ultimate goal; it was just a way to lure out this big fish. Before he, the big fish, was caught, the Palace Master of Baiyue Palace wouldn't kill innocent people indiscriminately. If he lost this trump card, what would he use to bargain with others?
Gu Changqing closed his eyes and began to scan his surroundings with his divine sense. After scanning around, he finally sensed the aura of the Palace Master of Yuntian Palace in a certain place in Baiyue Palace.
Without saying a word, Gu Changqing headed straight in the direction he sensed.
At this moment, the Palace Master of Yuntian Palace is locked in a damp dungeon. It is dark, gloomy, and cold, and the conditions look extremely poor. She is very unaccustomed to this environment. She has never suffered like this since she was a child. She has always been a pampered and privileged young lady. Now she looks like a prisoner. What an obvious difference!
Over here, Gu Changqing moved with lightning speed, instantly and accurately locating the position of the Palace Master of Yuntian Palace.
When the Palace Master saw Gu Changqing, she was overjoyed and tears streamed down her face.
"You've finally come! You knew you'd come back to save me," the Palace Master of Yuntian Palace said with a relieved smile and excitement.
"Alright, why are you crying? You got caught up in this because of me, how could I possibly abandon you? Don't worry, I'll get revenge for you in a bit. Let's get you out of here first, so step back a little." Gu Changqing smiled slightly and patiently explained and comforted her.
"You'd better not waste your energy. To prevent anyone from secretly rescuing me, the Palace Master of White Moon Palace used a special lock to lock me up. Moreover, this lock is also reinforced with a restraint, making it very difficult to open. He said that only he himself can open it, and no one else can." The Palace Master said with a dim look in his eyes and a helpless expression.
"Oh, is he that powerful? I have a particularly bad habit of not believing in superstitions. Since he's so powerful, I'd like to see if he's really as powerful as he says. You stay away for now, I'll give it a try." Gu Changqing said with a faint smile, quite stubbornly.
Then, a powerful black and gold hammer appeared in his hand, and he went straight for the lock hammer.
"Boom!"
A deafening hammer blow rang out, instantly smashing the lock to pieces.
This scene completely stunned the Palace Master of Yuntian Palace. She never expected that the lock would become so worthless in Gu Changqing's hands, like scrap metal. She had tried to open the lock before, but no matter what she tried, the lock remained intact, so she had no choice but to give up.
"Wow, you're amazing! You're such a man! I don't know how many times I've tried to open this lock, but I just couldn't get it open. I never expected you to solve it with just one hammer blow!" The Palace Master of Yuntian Palace said excitedly.
"This is nothing, it's no big deal in my eyes," Gu Changqing said with a slight smile.
"Let's go, let's get out of here quickly, it's really uncomfortable staying here." The Palace Master said with a look of disgust.
The two then left the dungeon.
"The Palace Master of Baiyue Palace is truly despicable! He actually locked me up in a cell! I am, after all, the head of a palace. Where is my dignity now? How am I supposed to manage my subordinates in the future? I can't swallow this insult!" The Palace Master of Yuntian Palace said angrily.
"Don't worry about that, I'll make him pay. I didn't see him when I arrived, but when I do, I'll make sure he regrets it." Gu Changqing smiled and readily agreed.
Just then, a majestic voice rang out: "Who dares to act so arrogantly on my territory? Are they tired of living?"
The old man who spoke was none other than the Palace Master of the White Moon Palace.
An elderly man dressed in blue robes with flowing white hair appeared before the crowd. He had a pair of shrewd eyes, and his entire body emanated an extremely powerful aura, indicating that he was extremely powerful. Even though he was very strong at the sixth level of the Immortal Emperor realm, he was nothing more than trash to Gu Changqing. In his eyes, anyone whose strength was inferior to his was trash.
No sooner had he finished speaking than the Palace Master of White Moon Palace appeared in front of Gu Changqing and his companions, followed by a group of golden-armored guards.
"You must be the person I'm looking for, right? You're quite capable, managing to open the lock I carefully prepared. You've got some skills." The old man in blue said calmly and confidently.
"He is the Palace Master of White Moon Palace, and he's the one who captured me." The Palace Master of Cloud Heaven Palace immediately introduced the man to Gu Changqing.
Upon hearing this, Gu Changqing smiled faintly and casually said, "I heard it was you who was looking for me, so I came. What brings you here?"
"What is it? How dare you ask what it is? The two of you conspired to kill my son, and you still ask knowingly," the old man in blue said angrily.
"Gu has killed many people. I don't know if your son was among them. What proof do you have that Gu killed them? Which eye of yours saw Gu kill your son?" Gu Changqing smiled slightly, showing no fear in the face of the old man's authority.
"Don't try to deny it. You two were in the footage before my son died. You are definitely involved in my son's death." The old man in blue said resolutely, firmly believing that the two men were involved in his son's murder.
“We did kill his son. His son was the black-clad man who repeatedly harassed me at Yuntian Palace. I only found out after I was captured,” the Yuntian Palace Master said, his expression somewhat grim.
She had nothing to hide about killing the man in black. After all, he had provoked and insulted her repeatedly, and she had no choice but to comply. She was the real victim, and the man deserved it for his restless and unruly behavior.
"Oh, it's him. I vaguely remember him. He was indeed killed by me. What's wrong? Is there something wrong? I kill scum like him every time I see him. Who told him to have such a foul mouth? He brought this on himself!" Gu Changqing said with a faint smile, seemingly unconcerned.
Little did he know that Gu Changqing's words were like the sharpest needle, extremely grating and completely enraging the old man in blue.
