"Do you think I'm afraid just because you said that? I'd like to know how you're going to make things difficult for us. Dogs, get them! I want to see if you can hurt a single one of my dogs." Gu Changqing said with a faint smile, completely calm.
"You...you shouldn't be so arrogant. Today I'll make you pay with your lives for my beloved dog," the middle-aged man said angrily.
After he finished speaking, a divine sword appeared in the middle-aged man's hand.
This is a silver sword, made of some unknown material, but even a wisp of its aura exudes an aura of extreme sharpness.
He drew his divine sword, and a burst of air erupted as his peak Quasi-Emperor cultivation was unleashed. The terrifying shockwave, like a Category 10 typhoon, converged, creating a dreadful storm that slammed into the dog.
Seeing this, Gouzi sneered, instantly drew his Jade Dragon Vajra Sword, and rushed over like lightning.
"Boom!"
With a deafening roar, the two sides clashed violently, their attacks flashing and clashing, leaving the earth scarred with sword marks – a truly terrifying sight.
This scene stunned the Qingyun Sect disciples. They never expected that the dog would be so powerful, showing no fear of the middle-aged man. They had known that the middle-aged man's cultivation was far superior to that of his beloved dog.
He immediately opened his eyes wide and stared intently at the two engaged in a fierce fight.
"puff!"
The middle-aged man suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, staring in utter shock as the Jade Dragon Vajra Sword pierced through his body, striking his heart squarely. His body slowly fell to the ground, lying there barely breathing.
Seeing this, Gouzi snorted coldly, neatly sheathed the Jade Dragon Vajra Sword, and walked towards Gu Changqing.
Just then, the middle-aged man revealed a sinister expression. He pulled out a hidden weapon from his waist and stabbed it forcefully towards the dog.
"Be careful," a sharp-eyed Qingyun Sect disciple warned.
In the blink of an eye, Gu Changqing flew over to Gouzi like lightning and blocked the attack with his invincible fist.
Something unexpected happened.
The hidden weapon collided with Gu Changqing's fist with a loud "bang," as if it had struck an incredibly hard diamond. It then bounced back rapidly, heading straight for the middle-aged man.
"No!"
The middle-aged man's eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at what was happening before him. He tried to dodge, but he had no strength left in his body and could only let the hidden weapon come toward him. Quite by chance, it pierced his heart meridian again, returning the hidden weapon to him intact.
The middle-aged man's eyes widened in shock, and he was filled with regret. If he had known he would end up like this, he would never have clashed with them. But it was too late. He closed his eyes in despair and died a swift and complete death.
"He brought this upon himself, he deserves it." Gu Changqing snorted coldly, threw down these words, and strode back.

At this moment, the disciples of Qingyun Sect watched this scene in utter shock, their jaws dropping in disbelief. My God, how could someone who looks so ordinary be so powerful? It's simply unbelievable!
"Thank you so much for your help, Master. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have been in grave danger," the dog said, bowing deeply in gratitude.
"It's not necessarily a bad omen. You're at least an Emperor-level being, while he's only a Quasi-Emperor. How could he possibly hurt you? At most, you'd only suffer a minor injury. This person is truly insidious and ruthless, plotting against people from behind. He's a complete villain," Gu Changqing said seriously.
The disciples of the Qingyun Sect naturally heard the conversation between the master and servant clearly and couldn't help but let their imaginations run wild.
Holy crap, this seemingly ordinary dog is actually an Emperor? That's unbelievable! If his subordinates are all Emperors, then he must be even higher than an Emperor! My God, that's terrifying!
"Why do you look so unfamiliar? I've never seen you before in the Qingyun Sect," Gu Changqing said with a puzzled expression.
"Hello Chief Gu, it's normal that you don't recognize me. I've never met you before either. The sect leader and I grew up together and I'm one of the inner elders of the sect. However, I went traveling a few years ago and haven't returned since. Thank you for your help today, Chief Gu." The Qingyun Sect disciple said with a faint smile.
"I see. No need for thanks. If you have any treasures or anything, just give them to me." Gu Changqing said this nonsense with a straight face.
The Qingyun Sect disciple said with a smile, "That's easy. I happen to have a treasure that I'll give to Chief Gu. I hope Gu Changqing won't find it offensive."
Then, he took out a jade box from his waist and handed it to Gu Changqing, saying, "Inside this jade box is a jade hairpin, made of the finest jade. Wearing it can make one radiant, prolong life, and even enhance one's cultivation. The only drawback is that this hairpin is for women, and it seems inappropriate for us men to wear it. If Chief Gu doesn't mind, please keep it for now. When you find a woman you like, it would be very suitable to give her as a token of love or a betrothal gift."
"It would be inappropriate for me to refuse your kind offer."
Gu Changqing smiled and took the jade box. He couldn't wait to open it and was immediately attracted by the exquisite jade hairpin. He thought to himself, "Not bad, Qingcheng will definitely like it."
"I hope Chief Gu gets used to it. I'll head back to my sect to see my childhood friend first," the Qingyun Sect disciple said with a smile.
"I advise you not to rush off. You may not know this, but the sect leader is currently in seclusion. You won't be able to see her even if you go back now," Gu Changqing kindly reminded him.
"Does Chief Gu know when she will emerge from seclusion? I haven't seen her in so long, I really miss her. I originally wanted to give the Sect Master a surprise, but now I don't know when that will be." The Qingyun Sect disciple said with some disappointment.
"I don't know when the sect leader will emerge from seclusion. There are rumors that he will emerge soon, but apart from the sect leader, I'm afraid no one knows the exact time," Gu Changqing said seriously.
"I understand. Thank you for informing me, Chief Gu. If Chief Gu has nothing else to do, why don't we return to the sect together?" The Qingyun Sect disciple invited sincerely.
"Alright, dogs, let's go back to the sect," Gu Changqing said casually.
"Where are you going!" Just then, an old man's voice came from not far away, trying to stop them.
Someone called out to them, and the two looked in the direction of the voice.
They saw an old man with white hair dressed in a black robe appear right in front of them.
