"How can the man in black be compared to Young Master Gu? He's just trash, always bragging, but when things get tough, he's scared out of his wits. It's infuriating. If it weren't for Young Master Gu, the consequences would have been unimaginable," one of the men in white said, speaking to the man in black with utter disdain.
“He was indeed despicable, but he deserved to die. He paid the price for his actions. It would be too disappointing not to discuss him. Let’s move on!” Gu Changqing said at this moment.
Although he also loathed the man in black and wished he could tear him to pieces, the man was now dead, so the matter could only be left unresolved.
After hearing this, no one said much. After all, Young Master Gu had already let it go, so they had nothing to say. The man in black hadn't targeted them before.

Then, they fell silent for a moment and followed Gu Changqing's steps forward.
The group walked forward for another few dozen meters or so, and the air ahead grew colder and colder, as if they were in the dead of winter. Everyone was shivering and their bodies were radiating cold air, but Gu Changqing seemed unaffected and did not feel cold at all.
The cave space ahead was getting smaller and smaller, and it was becoming increasingly difficult to walk through. The group had no choice but to slowly bend over and continue forward.
They walked for an unknown amount of time, and the more they walked, the more uncertain they became. They had walked for so long, but they had not seen any treasures or anything. Instead, they had encountered many dangers and several people had died.
Gu Changqing was naturally unaware of their thoughts. He was currently focused on moving forward, exploring the path ahead step by step.
Suddenly, Gu Changqing saw a light not far ahead and also faintly sensed the presence of demonic energy. He figured this place must be related to the six major demonic sects.
Gu Changqing was overjoyed; he had finally found the place.
"We've made a discovery. We don't know what the situation is ahead, so everyone be careful," Gu Changqing reminded the group.
Everyone was overjoyed upon hearing the news, finally seeing a glimmer of hope.
After walking a short distance, Gu Changqing finally arrived at this place with light.
The place was not only brightly lit, but also about four or five meters high and very spacious. It was also not as cold as before, and I immediately felt refreshed and could breathe easily.
Everyone was overjoyed at the sight and couldn't help but smile.
Seeing the rising mist ahead, resembling a fairyland shrouded in ethereal fog, Gu Changqing continued walking forward without hesitation.
Sure enough, there was a huge spiritual pool here, pure and rich. It was unknown when it had been here, but its spiritual energy was like an endless river and sea, surging and vast.
No wonder absorbing cultivation here can result in a huge increase in strength. So that's why. This is wonderful! Gu Changqing was overjoyed.
Without saying a word, Gu Changqing jumped inside and immediately felt refreshed and extremely comfortable.
The others followed suit, and seeing this, they all jumped into the spirit pool with Gu Changqing. But the moment they jumped in, they felt extremely cold and couldn't help but shiver. It was even colder than before, and they couldn't bear the chill, so they quickly climbed ashore.
This spirit pool looks quite nice, but unfortunately their cultivation level is too low to enjoy it. They can only stare at it with envy.
Just as Gu Changqing was about to absorb the spiritual energy here, a piercing sound suddenly rang out.
"Who dares disturb my seclusion? Are you tired of living? Get out of here right now, or you'll never leave alive!" An old man's displeased voice rang out.
Everyone was immediately shocked and dared not move. They had not expected that there were still living people here, and that their aura was incredibly powerful and extraordinary.
Gu Changqing remained calm and went to investigate, only to see an old man in black robes emanating from his body.
A thick demonic aura emanated from this person, exuding a powerful, majestic, and awe-inspiring presence that sent chills down one's spine.
The demonic energy emanating from this person is so heavy, could he be one of the six major demonic sects? Could the black aura seen from the outside be emanating from this person? Just who is this person? If this person is indeed one of the six major demonic sects, and this matches the rumors circulating outside, even if he is not one of the six major demonic sects, he must still be connected to the demonic path.
Thinking of this, Gu Changqing leaped up, gave a cold laugh, and said in a deep voice, "If you can come, why can't I?"
The old man in black was furious, his aura fully unleashed. Black energy emanated from his body as if it were free, and he said angrily, "This is my place of slumber. I have been sleeping here for many years. This is my secret base. No one is allowed to enter without my permission. Anyone who enters here will die."
"Oh, really? Well, I just happened to come in, and I don't plan to leave right away. I'm going to cultivate and amplify myself in this spirit pool, and I'll absorb all the spiritual energy here before I consider leaving." Gu Changqing smiled faintly and said directly, getting straight to the point. No one can stop him from doing what he wants.
"Hahaha, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. To prevent anyone from stealing my spiritual spring, I've already added a colorless and odorless poison to the pool. If you stay in the pool for half an hour, the poison will spread throughout your body, and you'll become a corpse." The old man in black laughed instead of getting angry, and said with great pride.
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed drastically. Fortunately, they had only stayed inside for a short while before coming up immediately. If they had stayed inside for half an hour, they would probably have been dead long ago. They were truly plagued by bad luck.
Gu Changqing listened to the old man in black but didn't care. He smiled and said, "I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you. I happen to have an antidote pill that can cure any poison. So your poison is nothing to me."
What's poison? He has countless pills given to him by alchemists in his storage ring, as well as miraculous elixirs he won in lotteries. Why would he be afraid of this little bit of poison? It's a joke.
Seeing that Gu Changqing was not afraid at all, the old man in black became furious and threatened, "I'll say it one more time, if you know what's good for you, get out of here. Otherwise, don't blame me for killing you all."
Upon hearing this, everyone was terrified. Their hearts pounded, and they felt a strong urge to retreat and flee. After all, their cultivation levels were low, and they had no strength. Fighting would be like throwing eggs against rocks. They didn't know if this young master Gu was a match for this person. If he wasn't, they would probably be wiped out. With no one to rely on, everyone looked at Gu Changqing.
Gu Changqing merely snorted coldly, unconvinced, and said in a cold voice, "Do you think I'm easily intimidated? I'm not leaving, let's see what you can do to me."
