I felt the overwhelming pressure released by Gu Changqing.

Gu Hong and Gu Jie both breathed a sigh of relief, feeling extremely fortunate.

Fortunately, they went to Rive Hedge City this time and encountered such a powerful figure like Gu Changqing.

Otherwise, facing a Divine King all of a sudden, they would have truly met their end this time.

On the other hand, Gu Ying and the others looked puzzled, all looking at Gu Changqing in the sky, feeling a great sense of unfamiliarity.

"Who is this Lord Changqing? When did our clan have such a Divine King?"

Gu Ying and the others who were leading the younger generation of the branch families were also dumbfounded.

Gu Qingcheng was originally in despair, but now she finally saw hope. Her beautiful eyes shimmered as she looked at Gu Changqing, who stood above the sea of clouds, dressed in white and exuding an otherworldly aura.

Her heart couldn't help but beat faster.

"Is this the senior Divine King of our Gu Family's main lineage? Truly... extraordinary!"

After coming back to their senses, the younger generation of the branch families couldn't help but burst into cheers.

The unexpected joy of surviving the disaster made them extremely grateful and respectful towards Gu Changqing.

The black-robed Divine King was also momentarily stunned, feeling the fluctuations of Gu Changqing's Divine King realm. His brows furrowed.

The black-robed Divine King, from the Zou family in the Qian Domain, had a different background from the Gu family in the Cangming Domain. The Zou family did not have a prominent history, but they had an ancestor who had reached the Sovereign realm thirty years ago.

As early as a hundred years ago, the Zou family had already been at odds with the Gu family in Cangming.

After their ancestor reached the Sovereign realm, the Zou family had been secretly suppressing the Gu family in Cangming for the past thirty years. If it weren't for the Gu family's possession of ancestral artifacts that could be activated when necessary, allowing them to contend with the Sovereign realm, the Gu family would have long been annihilated.

But they never expected that...

The Gu family in Cangming, who had reached a dead end, actually survived. After their ancestor emerged from seclusion ten years ago, he truly broke through to the Sovereign realm. This made the Zou family unable to sit still, leading to today's incident where the Zou family's Divine King came to attack the Gu family's escort team.

They couldn't allow the Gu family to escort too many geniuses, otherwise, the Zou family would be completely wiped out by the Gu family.

But he didn't expect...

Just as he was about to successfully intercept them, another Divine King suddenly appeared, and moreover, an extremely unfamiliar one!

As an enemy of the Gu family...

This Divine King from the Zou family was familiar with the situation of the Gu family's Divine King elders, but he had never seen a white-robed sword cultivator like this one!

"Who are you? This is the grudge between us and the Gu family. I hope you won't interfere, otherwise, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear the consequences!"

The black-robed Divine King spoke coldly, his voice low and filled with a chilling intent, trying to force Gu Changqing to retreat.

But Gu Changqing couldn't help but sneer at his words.

"You said it yourself, this is the grudge between me and the Gu family, yet you're telling me to retreat? It has nothing to do with me?"

"Are you really from the Gu family?"

The black-robed Divine King's expression changed completely upon hearing this!

His heart sank, could it be that the Gu family in Cangming was still hiding their true strength? No, he had to inform the clan as soon as possible and make preparations!

Thoughts raced through the black-robed Divine King's mind, and he had already begun to consider retreating.

But before he could make a decision...

Gu Changqing had already made his move!

"I am Gu Changqing."

"You dare to try and capture me, a fellow Divine King? Dream on!"

Feeling Gu Changqing's intentions, the black-robed Divine King immediately shouted and swung his hand.

In an instant, spiritual energy surged in front of him, forming various seals. Under the manipulation of the black-robed Divine King, a golden seal, as if containing the weight of a small world, condensed and flew towards Gu Changqing, smashing down on him!

"Boom!"

The seal soared through the air, tearing apart the space along its path. The pressure it exerted was so great that even the younger generation of the branch families and the King Realm elders like Gu Ying couldn't help but hold their breath.

In their eyes, worry was evident.

Only Gu Jie, Gu Hong, and others remained calm and full of confidence towards Gu Changqing.

In the face of a powerful being who could even kill Heavenly Sovereign, trying to escape?

Simply a delusion.

As expected.

Facing the large seal, Gu Changqing only sneered, flicked his sleeve, and a sword light soared into the sky like a rainbow.

"Buzz!"

The sound of the sword resonated like thunder. Under the gaze of the shocked crowd, with just one sword, the black-clothed Divine King's Divine Ability seal was easily shattered into two halves, and then continued with undiminished momentum, directly hitting the black-clothed Divine King himself.

"Puff!"

The black-clothed Divine King felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His internal organs were crushed by heavy hammers, causing his dantian and sea of consciousness to tremble. He involuntarily spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turning extremely pale.

Under this attack, his aura also weakened, and even maintaining his levitation became difficult. Under the horrified gaze of his subordinate Profound Kings, they fell straight down towards the ground.

However, he didn't actually crash to the ground. In the instant before landing, Gu Changqing raised his hand and used his spiritual power to bind the black-clothed Divine King, capturing him and then removing his mask.

"A single strike defeated a Divine King?"

"Not just defeated, but directly captured... This is even more terrifying than killing a Divine King with a single strike!"

The younger generation behind Gu Ying were all dumbfounded.

They had expected to witness a battle between Divine Kings, but they didn't expect the outcome to be decided in an instant.

Their curiosity towards Gu Changqing, who was on the Cloud Sea, grew even stronger.

"Just now, I heard the two elders over there say that this person is Prince Changqing?"

"In my Cangming main lineage, there is actually such a Divine King prince? The grandeur of the main lineage is truly extraordinary!"

The younger generation couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment.

Gu Ying and the other three elders were also greatly shocked, not much less than the younger generation.

But at this moment, they couldn't spare any attention to be amazed. Their gazes all fell on the black-clothed Divine King captured by Gu Changqing, their eyes filled with an unmistakable coldness.

"Zou Tian, you old ghost! It's really you!"

Gu Ying gritted his teeth and said.

They had speculated before.

Apart from the Zou family, who had been fighting against the Gu family for many years, it was difficult to think of anyone else who could know the Gu family's layout and ambush them accurately.

Zou Tian, the Divine King of the Zou family, had a look of horror on his face as he looked at Gu Changqing as if he had seen a ghost.

"Your cultivation level is definitely not just a Divine King! Who are you!? When did the Gu family have such a powerful expert?"

But Gu Changqing couldn't be bothered to waste words with him. He directly prepared to hand Zou Yuan over to Gu Ying.

However, Zou Yuan was a bit more ruthless than he had imagined.

Seeing that his physical body couldn't escape, he immediately shouted, "Alright, alright, alright! Today, this old man admits defeat in your hands! But dreaming of capturing this old man is impossible!"

He let out a long roar.

A black light suddenly rose from his brow, directly rushing out of his sea of consciousness. In an instant, he escaped a hundred miles away, fleeing desperately.

"Damn it! He actually willingly abandoned his physical body!?"

Gu Ying and the others all changed their expressions.

By abandoning his physical body, Zou Yuan could rebuild it, and his cultivation level as a Divine King would at most recover to the Heavenly King Realm. Moreover, it would be difficult for him to enter it in this lifetime. It could only be said that he was truly ruthless.

However, Gu Changqing's expression remained extremely calm.

"You think you can escape by turning into a soul? How laughable!"

He lightly spoke, uttering a single word, "Behead!"

As this word fell, ripples spread through the air. Between his eyebrows, a vast and boundless power of divine consciousness, like waves and tidal waves, swept through the sky. In an instant, it caught up to the fleeing Zou Yuan, who was wailing in despair.

His soul was directly annihilated in an instant.

"Prince Changqing actually has such a method!?"

"What a terrifying attack of divine consciousness! I feel that even the Ancestor wouldn't be able to withstand that strike!"

Gu Ying and the three elders, who didn't know Gu Changqing's true strength, looked at the completely dead Zou Yuan, then at Gu Changqing, who seemed indifferent as if he had just done something insignificant.

Each of their eyes was filled with uncontainable shock and awe!
