Chapter 17 Instantly, Senior Sister, You've Been Deceived! (Please follow for more!)

The commotion outside the separate courtyard naturally attracted the attention of many people from the Heavenly Cold Sect.

At every separate courtyard, whether at the doorway or on the courtyard wall, heads were popping out, excited to witness Gu Changge being brutally beaten!

As for the Elders and Deacons of the Heavenly Cold Sect, they looked like they hadn't heard anything and simply did not intervene.

The situation here also caught the attention of some people from the Gu Family nearby, but they were obviously too late to come help!

"Alas, why bother?"

Gu Changge's expression remained calm, even though he was only at the ninth level of the Qi Condensation Realm, and those surrounding him were five Heavenly Cold Sect disciples above the seventh level of the Qi Condensation Realm, with even a mid-stage Sky-controlling Realm practitioner ready to strike at any moment.

Yet, he was not panicked.

Instead, he suddenly stomped his foot, stirring up a cloud of dust to obscure their vision.

As those several figures rushed into the rising dust and attacked the figure within,

'Boom!'

"Boom!!"

"Boom!!!"

A series of muffled sounds erupted, so intense that even the ground shook violently several times!

This made everyone frown.

"Isn't that a bit too harsh? Can the trash from the Gu Family withstand such a beating?"

"Don't actually kill him—after all, this is the Gu Family's territory. If someone is killed, it won't end well!"

Although the quietly watching people from the Heavenly Cold Sect felt a sense of satisfaction, the heavy sounds also made them somewhat worried.

"People, come quick!"

"The Heavenly Cold Sect is trying to kill Cousin Changge, hurry, someone!"

Seeing this, the Gu Family members who had rushed over at the first hint of trouble were even more enraged. They rushed forward desperately while shouting loudly.

Suddenly, several figures from the Gu Family's elders soared and instantly appeared at the scene.

Before they could go to Gu Changge's aid and confront the Heavenly Cold Sect, they suddenly paused.

Something was off...

Five Heavenly Cold Sect disciples of the Qi Condensation Realm lay on the ground like dead dogs, spitting blood, all having fainted!

And Gu Changge was sitting on the backs of two overlapping people, propping his arms on the ground, holding his face with a smile as he watched the only standing Sky-controlling Realm, Liu Xin.

"What a surprise, isn't it?" Gu Changge said with a grin, raising his eyebrows.

"You..."

"Impossible, what level are you at now!?"

"Get off my junior brother!"

At that moment, Liu Xin was somewhat panicked; he could never have imagined such a scene.

Just moment ago, he thought his junior brothers were being too rough and was about to intervene, but upon realizing the situation, he saw that his juniors had already been severely injured!

This could not have been done by someone at the fifth level of the Qi Condensation Realm; it must have been someone at the same level as him in the Sky-controlling Realm!

How could this be?

He isn't a cultivation waste who could only step into the fifth level of the Qi Condensation Realm by relying on his senior sister's Soul-Shaping Pill, right?

Gu Changge shrugged his shoulders, stood up, and slowly approached Liu Xin.

As he got closer and raised his hand, Liu Xin instinctively backed away, his body floating as he dodged, watching him warily.

"..."

After making eye contact, Liu Xin awkwardly settled down, wishing he could find a hole to crawl into. Many fellow disciples were watching, and he was actually scared of a waste!

"Gu Family boy, you've hidden your strength well."

"But your strikes were a bit too ruthless!"

At this moment, the Sixth Elder of the Heavenly Cold Sect slowly walked out from the separate courtyard, casually sending out Spiritual Energy to help the unconscious disciples recover, while coldly gazing at Gu Changge.

"Elder, you've said it all, what am I to say?"

"All the venerable elders were watching just now. These people aimed for my life with lethal moves. I almost lost my life."

"According to the rules of the Gu Family..."

"They need to pay with their lives."

Gu Changge spread his arms helplessly as he spoke.

It was clear that he hadn't been hurt a bit just now, yet he was claiming he had almost lost his life, which infuriated the Sixth Elder.

However, the Gu Family elders who had just heard the shout and rushed over were already standing behind Gu Changge with stern faces, nodding as they folded their arms across their chests:

"What Changge said is correct—we saw with our own eyes that the disciples of the Heavenly Cold Sect tried to kill a member of the Gu Family's direct lineage."

"Are they trying to declare war on the Gu Family?"

These Gu Family elders were no fools, and they could instantly tell that this act was orchestrated by the elders of the Heavenly Cold Sect.

Therefore, they showed no mercy!

"Enough, for Qingqing's sake, I, the young master, am willing to spare their lives."

Gu Changge declared righteously, waving his hand grandly.

"..."

The Sixth Elder was so frustrated he was practically scratching his teeth, but there was nothing he could do but accept his fate.

The Gu Family had struck first, and he could no longer use the severe injuries of these disciples as leverage—both parties tacitly glossed over the incident.

Meanwhile, the commotion outside stirred Liu Qingqing from her cultivation.

When she stepped out of the courtyard and saw several Qi Condensation Realm Outer Disciples beaten to the point of vomiting blood and fainting, she too was surprised.

As her gaze fell on Gu Changge not far away, she saw him suddenly roll his eyes back and collapse stiffly.

Just as the Gu Family elders were about to reach out and catch him, a graceful figure had already dashed forward and steadied him securely.

"Are you all right?" Liu Qingqing quickly asked, placing her hand on his wrist to check on him.

"Cough... After all, it was five priests of the Qi Condensation Realm who acted together, and I was lucky to survive."

"..." In the moment she touched him, Liu Qingqing had already examined the state inside his body, and Gu Changge did not resist at all as she checked his realm. When she felt the overwhelming spiritual energy at the ninth stage of the Qi Condensation Realm, she was stunned.

For a moment, she didn't even bother to question whether he was tricking her!

Qi Condensation Realm Nine Heavens?

What was going on? It had only been two days, what had happened to him?

"I know a restaurant in the city that's just perfect for recovering from injuries. Would you care to accompany me there, wife?"

Gu Changge grinned, not showing a hint of weakness.

"Sure." Amidst the watchful eyes of numerous Heavenly Cold Sect disciples, Liu Qingqing decisively nodded her head.

She was now very curious about what Gu Changge had done in these past two days to have reached the ninth stage of the Qi Condensation Realm!

However, this scene appeared quite different in the eyes of the many Heavenly Cold Sect disciples and the elder-Deacon.

"No way, senior sister, are you really falling for his nonsense!?"

"He wasn't injured at all just now!"

"The ones who are hurt are our junior brothers!"

"Besides, since when can a restaurant heal injuries?"

"He is tricking you!!!"

As they watched their senior sister help that man leave, the disciples of the Heavenly Cold Sect beat their chests and stomped their feet, shouting to try to stop her.

During this, Gu Changge even turned his head and winked at them.

"Aaaahhhh!!!" The Heavenly Cold Sect disciples completely lost it, swearing that they would never coexist under the same sky with such a shameless person!

How could senior sister so easily believe him?!!!

"Uh..."

"Since there's nothing wrong, let's go back to our business."

"Additionally, let me mention, do not bother my family's juniors; stay loyal and live in peace while residing with the Gu Family."

The Gu Family elder glanced at the Heavenly Cold Sect elder and Deacon before walking away, swinging his sleeves.

As he left, he couldn't help but mutter softly: "Had no idea my nephew Changge had this trick up his sleeve."

It was unclear whether he was referring to Gu Changge defeating several Qi Condensation Realm priests instantly, or his cunning in entrapping Liu Qingqing...
