My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty

Gu Lan hadn't expected the Lava Clan powerhouses to pull such a move.

Had he known, he would've been more cautious.

But saying that now was too late—the deed was done, no need for more words.

Seeing Gu Lan's heavy expression, Blacky and Ding True Man didn't know what to say for a moment.

After a long pause, Gu Lan finally spoke slowly.

"You two, withdraw."

Hearing this, Ding True Man and Blacky bowed, then retreated.

Once they were gone, Gu Lan's face darkened, his aura unleashed.

After a few breaths of deliberation, he leapt to the clouds.

The sky was deep now, a layer of gray mist cloaking the surroundings.

Gu Lan coldly scanned the area, strands of chill flickering in his eyes.

"Lava Clan, I won't let a single one of you go."

This grudge was etched in his mind—this matter wouldn't end here.

…

After a few breaths, Gu Lan descended from the clouds.

Stopping, he stood in the hall, unmoving.

Under his watch, Lin Tan'er's aura gradually recovered bit by bit.

Gu Lan's expression was grave, several strands of true qi flickering in his hand.

With his help, Lin Tan'er's injuries slowly began to heal.

As the sky gradually brightened, Gu Lan restrained his aura.

He intended to leave, but just as he took a step, urgent footsteps echoed from outside the hall.

Hearing the sound, Gu Lan's gaze shifted instinctively.

Gu Simu walked in, her face tinged with a hint of gloom.

Seeing her like this, Gu Lan asked, puzzled.

"You girl, have you run into trouble?"

Under Gu Lan's gaze, Gu Simu shook her head.

"Not exactly trouble—just a few tricky fellows, but I've dealt with them."

She'd encountered Wizard Clan powerhouses, hoping to resolve the issue quickly.

But they'd entangled her instead.

Though not gravely injured, her aura had been significantly drained.

Gu Simu was furious—she hadn't expected this.

She didn't elaborate, her gaze drifting toward the depths of the hall.

Noticing Lin Tan'er, Gu Simu paused.

"Daddy, she…"

Before she could finish, Gu Lan explained the situation.

As he spoke, anger flared in Gu Simu's eyes.

"Those guys again—I should've killed them when I had the chance."

Gu Lan regretted it too, but it was too late for that now.

Next time they met, he'd give Chi Yang no chance to breathe.

As Gu Lan and Gu Simu talked, Lin Tan'er's aura fully stabilized.

Struggling to her feet, she stepped before Gu Lan.

Stopping, she moved to bow.

But before she could bend, Gu Lan stopped her with a hand.

"No need."

"You're badly hurt—focus on recovering now."

With Gu Lan's words, Lin Tan'er swallowed what she'd meant to say.

"Thank you, my lord, for saving me."

She knew without Gu Lan's support, she couldn't have recovered so fast.

Gu Lan didn't say more, casually producing several Spirit Fruit.

Seeing them, Lin Tan'er looked surprised, unsure of his intent.

As she stood stunned, Gu Lan spoke unhurriedly.

"Consume these, and your injuries will heal quickly."

Lin Tan'er did need to recover, and with Gu Lan's words, she had no room to refuse.

She swallowed her thoughts and said no more.

…

Above a dim starry expanse in the Immortal Realm, Mo Xuan stood with a hundred Wizard Clan powerhouses.

Under his watch, a vortex slowly appeared in the distance.

This was the Blood Clan's domain—with Xue Lengyan absent, it lacked its core.

And with Mo Xuan's current strength, dealing with them was effortless.

The array before him had been breached. With a cold laugh, Mo Xuan turned into a blur and charged.

He and the Wizard Clan powerhouses moved swiftly, vanishing in an instant.

Along the way, they encountered numerous Blood Clan powerhouses.

But Mo Xuan showed no mercy, cutting them all down.

Yet his purpose in coming to Blood Clan lands wasn't just to kill these warriors.

He aimed to awaken the slumbering Blood God.

This was the task Wizard God had given him—now, he only wanted the Blood God for himself.

Inside the Jing Nation palace, Gu Lan had been resting with his eyes closed.

Xue Lengyan's figure suddenly appeared before him.

Xue Lengyan looked anxious, his eyes dim with worry.

Seeing him like this, Gu Lan opened his eyes, puzzled.

"Blood Clan Master, what's got you in such a rush?"

"You might need to come with me to the Blood Clan."

At that, Gu Lan's confusion deepened.

But he didn't hesitate—since Xue Lengyan had spoken, something must've happened.

Xue Lengyan had helped him plenty; he couldn't refuse.

Gu Lan said no more, his aura bursting forth as he leapt to the clouds.

As he stopped, he noticed nearly a thousand Blood Clan powerhouses.

He had to admit, the Jing Nation palace owed its survival to Xue Lengyan.

The Human World's powerhouses weren't that strong.

And his troubles, big and small, had all been aided by Xue Lengyan.

Amid such a grand display, unease surged in Gu Lan's heart.

This trouble might not be easy to resolve, but with things as they were, he had to go.

His expression tightened as he turned into a blur and charged.

Better to investigate first—he didn't want anything happening to the Blood Clan.

Gu Lan and Xue Lengyan moved at breakneck speed, holding nothing back.

"Blood Clan Master, what's happened in your clan to make you so urgent?"

At Gu Lan's question, Xue Lengyan spoke gravely.

"I sense an ancient seal about to be broken."

At that, Gu Lan was baffled.

Before she finished, Xue Lengyan continued, her face darkening.

"Within sleeps our clan's god, the Blood God."

"If he awakens, a storm of blood and chaos will follow."

She didn't know the Blood God's terror, but past clan leaders sealed him for a reason.

Though Gu Lan was puzzled, he grasped the gist.

This wasn't simple—he'd need to step up.

He'd been to the Blood Clan before, so this time he knew the way.

Soon, they reached the Blood Clan's outskirts.

Looking ahead, Gu Lan's face darkened instantly.

Not just him—Xue Lengyan's expression turned grim too.

As he'd feared, the seal here had been broken.

Worse, they sensed the Wizard Clan's aura.

Killing intent flashed in Gu Lan's eyes as the Hongmeng Sword appeared in his hand.

"Blood Clan Master, this might be big trouble. I'll go first."

With that, Gu Lan turned into a blur and charged.

He couldn't afford to wait—the longer he delayed, the worse it'd get.

He didn't want the Wizard Clan to seize this chance.

Seeing Gu Lan move, Xue Lengyan didn't linger either.

With one step, she appeared behind him in an instant.

"I'll go with you!"
