Yin Kexi had come here precisely because the Golden Wheel Lama wanted to demonstrate his strength, seize the alliance leadership, and subdue him—but now that the Golden Wheel Lama had been humiliated, Yin Kexi was thoroughly pleased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This Hero Gathering was lost because the Mongols were outmatched.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yin Kexi decisively conceded defeat for the Golden Wheel Lama, saying: “We’re leaving.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spectacle had been enjoyed; Yin Kexi was ready to depart. As for fighting—Gu Qing was indeed formidable, and the surrounding heroes were numerous; Yin Kexi had no desire to engage in a pointless clash, so he chose to leave outright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Golden Wheel Lama drew a deep breath, fixed his gaze on Gu Qing, then turned and walked away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mongol warriors supported Hu Du, who had previously used hidden weapons to ambush Gu Qing; after Gu Qing dodged, he had pounded him repeatedly, yet in the end, Hu Du had still been struck by the Jade Bee Needle. The Golden Wheel Lama’s profound inner energy allowed him to endure it, but Hu Du could not—he lay unconscious, moaning in agony, his face twisted and horrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let them just walk away like that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing pointed at the Golden Wheel Lama’s party and asked Guo Jing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing had done his part—wasn’t it now Guo Jing’s turn to act?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In war, we do not kill envoys.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Jing said: “Besides, there are many Mongols outside. If we forcibly attack, blood will flow in rivers.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Guo Jing spoke, the Golden Wheel Lama and Yin Kexi walked on without looking back, their posture proud—as if they had won.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Hero Gathering was now over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whoosh!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing’s figure flickered forward, charging toward the Golden Wheel Lama’s group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Golden Wheel Lama and Yin Kexi sensed the movement and spun around instantly; seeing Gu Qing’s face already close, they struck without hesitation, each unleashing a thunderous palm strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both were masters of the age; though caught off guard, their turns and strikes flowed seamlessly, their palm energy coalescing powerfully—but in the instant they turned, Gu Qing’s form shifted, drifting aside effortlessly, and in his hand, the broken sword flew toward Hu Du’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Du, grandson of Zhamuhe and called a prince among the Mongols, held high status; Yin Kexi naturally moved to protect him, and the Golden Wheel Lama, as Hu Du’s master, could not ignore it—both reached out and shattered the thrown broken sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet in that single move, Gu Qing had already extended his hand, seized the neck of a Mongol official who had come with them, and leapt backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Golden Wheel Lama and Yin Kexi moved to rescue him, but Gu Qing simply held the fat Mongol officer before him as a shield—if they attacked, so be it; if they did not, Gu Qing would bring the man forward to Guo Jing and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, neither the Golden Wheel Lama nor Yin Kexi moved, watching as Gu Qing dragged the fat Mongol official back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This back-and-forth took no more than a blink; the martial artists in the crowd could not grasp the intricate maneuvers Gu Qing had just executed—they only saw that in an instant, Gu Qing had captured the Mongol officer and pinned him before Guo Jing and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s settle our personal score!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing stared at the Mongol official and slapped him hard across the face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sharp crack drew every eye; they watched as Gu Qing, after delivering the slap, began punching and kicking the Mongol officer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This brutal conduct stood in stark contrast to the image of the heroic young warrior he had just portrayed; Sun Bu’er and Hao Datong could not help turning their faces away, pretending they did not know him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were far too familiar with this behavior of his.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t even know you—what personal score could we possibly have?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mongol official, feeling unjustly beaten, now bled from the nose, clutching his face and crying out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t know me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing drove a knee into him and said coldly: “I know you well! From Shaanxi to Henan, you’ve been secretly orchestrating plots the whole way—every time I withdrew money from the Beggar’s Sect, you received word and passed it to the Mongols, who then pursued and blocked me, correct?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing had been keeping this account in mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mongol official looked up at Gu Qing and suddenly realized: “You’re Shi Hao!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Beggar’s Sect had spoken of a heroic youth who killed the descendant of Khasar and then Nimoxing; the Mongols had placed him on their kill list. Now, hearing Gu Qing speak, the Mongol official made the connection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Peng Changlao—it’s you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Youjiao finally recognized the Mongol officer and cried out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This man had once been a Beggar’s Sect elder, once supporting Yang Kang against Guo Jing and Huang Rong; his specialty was mind-control, capable of rendering others oblivious and completely under his command—so Peng Changlao had delivered outstanding performances in many plots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now recognizing Peng Changlao, Lu Youjiao understood why the Beggar’s Sect had leaked secrets: with such a traitor, deeply familiar with the sect and possessing mind-control, Peng Changlao naturally knew everything about the Beggar’s Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s right—it’s him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing kicked Peng Changlao again and said: “Every time I interacted with someone from the Beggar’s Sect, the Mongols immediately learned my whereabouts. So I quietly investigated—and discovered it all tied back to Peng Changlao. When I came to Dasheng Pass, he was far away, so I left him be. Today, he came right before me—and I recognized him!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he could not be spared!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peng Changlao looked up at Gu Qing; he had remained loyal to the Mongols, investigating Gu Qing was merely his duty, and he had come to this gathering precisely because he knew the Beggar’s Sect well and could act as a guide. Guo Jing and Huang Rong had seen him and treated him as ordinary—but they never imagined Gu Qing had marked him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young Master Gu, I have a request!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Youjiao stared at Peng Changlao and said to Gu Qing: “I ask you to hand him over to us—for the sect’s discipline to deal with!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many Beggar’s Sect disciples, upon learning Peng Changlao was a traitor, spontaneously clamored for Lu Youjiao to execute him according to sect law.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing nodded, looked at Peng Changlao, and asked: “Do you want to beg for mercy?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, yes!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peng Changlao, a man who feared death above all, immediately pleaded: “I beg you to spare me—I’ll never track your whereabouts again!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing nodded, collected Peng Changlao’s good deeds, spared him, then turned to Lu Youjiao, signaling it was now his turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Youjiao thanked Gu Qing repeatedly, ordering Beggar’s Sect members to detain Peng Changlao for execution later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This double gain—Gu Qing had collected two waves of good deeds, the Beggar’s Sect’s portion alone amounting to over fifty points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peng Changlao’s face twisted in horror—he never imagined Gu Qing’s mercy came this way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Golden Wheel Lama fixed Gu Qing with a deep gaze and said: “Shi Hao is you, Ye Fan is you too—fine, I’ll remember you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ye Fan” had suddenly appeared in Peng Changlao’s reports, just as Darba moved to intercept “Shi Hao”; now the Golden Wheel Lama understood everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“State Preceptor, save me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peng Changlao cried out repeatedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Golden Wheel Lama did not look back—he walked away without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Gu Qing had demanded Peng Changlao outright, the Golden Wheel Lama might have argued—but Gu Qing had seized Peng Changlao behind their backs; the Golden Wheel Lama had nothing to say. He now pretended Peng Changlao never existed, leaving without a second thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Er Gouzi isn’t worth anything.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing crushed Peng Changlao’s last hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1473,"2026-06-20T17:04:26.501Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","82f3b063913700b1ca5d013534c4c4a2aae23f0e0aa224c0e72600d80c06bb06","living-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-chapter-33","living-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-chapter-31",449,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fliving-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-cover.jpg"]
