"Yes, thank you, Master." The dogs replied excitedly, their hearts filled with joy. They immediately let loose and scattered to play in all directions.
And so, Gu Changqing followed the dogs wherever they went, afraid they would get lost, just like a mother hen, always worrying about them.
In the blink of an eye, several hours had passed, and Gu Changqing decided to take the dogs back home.

But just then, Gu Changqing noticed faint sounds of fighting coming from not far away. Upon closer listening, he realized the fighting was quite intense.
Just then, a dog came running over quickly and said in a hurry, "Master, there are people fighting ahead. I see that one of the people's clothes are the same as our sect's attire."
"You mean there are people from our Qingyun Sect in there?" Gu Changqing asked.
“Yes, Master, I see that our sect’s disciples are at a disadvantage and are about to be defeated,” one of the dogs said.
"Let's go take a look." After saying that, Gu Changqing disappeared instantly.
The dogs were startled by this scene, not expecting their owner to be so quick.
The dogs quickly followed their owner in that direction.
In the blink of an eye, Gu Changqing arrived at the scene of the fight.
A middle-aged man dressed in yellow brocade robes was locked in a fierce battle with a man dressed in Qingyun Sect attire. The fight was so intense that the sky darkened.
It was obvious that the middle-aged man had the upper hand, and he was fully capable of defeating the Qingyun Sect disciple in one move, but for some reason, he just wouldn't kill him, as if he were playing a cat-and-mouse game.
Seeing this, Gu Changqing calmly said, "Fellow Daoists, please stop and allow me to say something."
"What, are you trying to play peacemaker?" The middle-aged man stopped and said impatiently.
"You bullied a disciple of my Qingyun Sect, how can I, as the chief disciple of the Qingyun Sect, sit idly by?" Gu Changqing said calmly.
"So what if I bully him? I might as well bully you. What can you do about it? Even the dog next to me is more powerful than all of you. I can bully whoever I want." The middle-aged man said rudely.
“Chief Gu, what he said is true. Even his dog is at the Saint King level. I am ashamed to admit that I am not even as powerful as his dog,” said the Qingyun Sect disciple.
"I know what I'm doing, so don't worry about it," Gu Changqing said with a faint smile.
Just then, Gu Changqing's dogs finally arrived, panting heavily.
“Perfect timing. I also keep a pack of dogs, and they have some cultivation.” Gu Changqing said with a slight smile.
"Your dog looks like an ordinary dog, worthless. As for its cultivation level, I can barely sense it. And you dare to bring that up? Your skin is thicker than a city wall. My dog is much rarer than yours," the middle-aged man said shamelessly.
"Oh, really? I'd like to meet him then," Gu Changqing said calmly.
"Look if you want, my dog was nurtured by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, it's a rare breed." With that, the middle-aged man waved his hand, and a black object appeared before them.
This dog was completely black, even blacker than charcoal. It was about the size of a wolfhound from Earth, and it exuded the aura of a saintly king. It had two large, bright brown eyes that looked fierce and not someone to be trifled with.
"It's indeed a good dog, but it's a pity it didn't meet a good owner; it's all for naught," Gu Changqing said with a regretful expression.
"You brat, what did you say? Are you looking for a beating?" the middle-aged man said angrily.
"I'm afraid you're the one who's asking for a beating. You hit a disciple of my sect, and now you're turning around and biting me back," Gu Changqing said calmly, not angry at all.
"Good lad, I advise you to watch your mouth, or I'll have my dog kill you all," the middle-aged man threatened.
"Hehe, do you think I'm afraid? I'm not easily intimidated. If you have the guts, come at me. Don't even think about me bullying your dog. I'd rather not lift a finger than have your dog compete with mine. How about that? Fair enough?" Gu Changqing said nonchalantly.
As he spoke, Gu Changqing casually pointed, and a dog walked out from the group. It looked energetic and full of confidence.
"Fine, you've got guts. Don't blame me for being ruthless. You brought this on yourself. Black Dog, go! Bite them to death!" The middle-aged man gritted his teeth and said slyly.
The black dog suddenly became extremely ferocious, its entire body exuding the aura of a Saint King, making it appear incredibly powerful.
