"Oh? If you have something to say, feel free to tell me everything you know, so I can have a better understanding," Gu Changqing said with a faint smile.
To quickly find the murderer of the city lord, Gu Changqing needs to know the details of the city lord's murder, as well as whether he had any enemies in the past. Only in this way can he avenge the city lord as soon as possible.
The old city lord's son thought for a moment and said directly, "Although my father was the city lord, he was approachable and had almost no enemies. Moreover, he was very honest and cared about the people, and was deeply loved by them. If we have to say that he offended anyone, it would only be his senior brother."
Gu Changqing smiled faintly and asked with a curious look, "Oh, how so? Is there any hidden story behind this? What conflict do the two of them have?"
The old city lord's son smiled bitterly and continued, "Actually, I don't know much about what happened between them. I only learned about it from my father. Back then, my father and his senior brother were their master's two most valued disciples. My father's master had a beautiful and intelligent only daughter. My father's master planned to marry his precious daughter to one of them and said that whoever was lucky enough to marry his daughter would be able to inherit everything from him."
Upon hearing this, Gu Changqing said thoughtfully, "This is like a fish leaping over the dragon gate, a salted fish turning over. I imagine the competition between the two of them will be extremely fierce."
“Yes, my father and his senior apprentice both come from poor families. If they can marry this woman, it will be like rising to prominence, and their future careers will be limitless,” the old city lord’s son said with a look of agreement.
Before Gu Changqing could speak, he continued, "My father and his senior brother were both very fond of their master's daughter, and the fact that marrying her would change their fate made the competition between them extremely fierce."
"So what happened next? Who won the heart of the beauty—your father or his senior brother?" Gu Changqing asked with a curious expression.
"No one expected the final outcome. Everyone thought that the woman would choose one of them, but unexpectedly, she later took an arrow for my father and died. My father fell seriously ill as a result. His master wanted to give everything to my father, but my father resolutely refused and left this sad place. My father's master had no choice but to entrust everything to my father's senior brother," the city lord's son continued.
"It's truly a pity. According to what you're saying, your father's senior brother shouldn't have held a grudge against your father. After all, your father gave him his position, so there's no reason for him to kill your father. It seems a bit illogical!" Gu Changqing said calmly.
“Under normal circumstances, this wouldn’t happen, but my father told me that his senior brother is a very selfish, narrow-minded, and arrogant person. He believes that the woman’s death was all because of my father, all caused by my father. Moreover, he also believes that my father was doing him a favor, which hurt his self-esteem. Therefore, he has long harbored resentment towards my father.” The city lord shook his head helplessly and continued to explain.
"If this is the truth, then your father's senior brother is disgusting. He's a real scoundrel. He judged you with his petty mind and not only wasn't grateful, but he also cruelly killed your father. He's so cruel and cold-blooded!" Gu Changqing snorted coldly and said angrily.
The old city lord's son also said with a look of grief and indignation: "It turns out that good people don't get good rewards. I only hate that my cultivation is not as good as his. If I could beat him, I would definitely kill him myself to avenge my father and comfort his spirit in heaven. But the most important thing is to kill this person. Whether I kill him or not is not the most important thing."
"Young master, rest assured, leave this matter to me. If you wish to kill him yourself, I can do so; I will simply bring him here," Gu Changqing said with a smile, patting his chest as he assured him.
"I have a favor to ask. Could I go with you? Here's what I'm thinking: firstly, I can show you the way, and secondly, I hope to see the murderer who killed my father as soon as possible. I don't want him to live another quarter of an hour!" The city lord's son asked with some doubt.
Gu Changqing smiled faintly and said directly, "If you want to go, young master, of course you can. I have no objection. Let's set off without delay!"
"Okay!"
Then, with a thought, the two of them transformed into a bolt of lightning and vanished!
--------------------
Before long, the two arrived at their destination.
Without saying a word, Gu Changqing walked straight to the door, only to be stopped by one of the gatekeepers.
"What do you do?" the gatekeeper asked warily.
"What does it matter what I do? I'm going in, so you'd better not block my way, or you'll regret it," Gu Changqing glared at him and said irritably.
"What? This is outrageous! You can't go in!" The gatekeeper seemed not to have heard Guo Changqing's words and continued to block him.
Gu Changqing was too lazy to chat with the gatekeeper, so he flicked his hand and slapped him directly.
A terrifying force roared like thunder in an instant, and giant waves surged and surged.
With a loud "smack," the gatekeeper was caught off guard and sent flying 300,000 kilometers away, disappearing from sight.
It's easy to guess what happened to this person; he's probably already a corpse, or more accurately, a pool of blood.
The other gatekeepers were startled and all showed expressions of utter astonishment.
This was the first time they, as gatekeeper disciples, had ever witnessed such a terrifying scene!
They simply couldn't bear such a horrific scene.
The disciples guarding the mountain are essentially security guards, not even as good as menial laborers, not to mention their cultivation level is extremely low.
"My God, where did this fierce person come from? He started hitting people without saying a word. He's definitely up to no good."
"My God, this person doesn't seem to have any good intentions. Is this tough guy here to cause trouble?"
"This person seems to have profound cultivation; he must be someone you don't want to mess with!"
Seeing that something was wrong, the gatekeeper was so frightened that he lost his bearings and fled in a panic without saying a word.
Where is the arrogance they had just displayed? They are so afraid of death, they seem like a bunch of opportunists.
"Trying to leave? You'll get a beating first!"
Gu Changqing chased after them, slapping one of them down with each blow. Then, he unleashed a barrage of palm strikes, slapping countless others down in quick succession. In just a short while, he had everyone bruised and battered, leaving them in a sorry state, and they were sent flying 300,000 kilometers.
They were all at the Qi Sea Realm, and in front of Gu Changqing, they were like weak ants. They were sent flying in a single move, instantly forming pools of blood mist.
Gu Changqing looked at the pools of blood mist before him, his face calm and expressionless.
"Hmph, a bunch of trash, daring to intercept me, Gu? This is what happens to them." He sneered and said in a deep voice.
The city lord's son was slightly taken aback by what he saw, thinking that this person was quite capable and would definitely be able to help him avenge his father.
