My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty
Chapter 711 - 711: Withstanding Gu Simu's Fury

Gu Lan's expression darkened when he saw Gu Simu in such a state. His true energy surged, and a killing intent flashed in his eyes. He was ready to step forward, but just as he did, Gu Simu suddenly spoke and stopped him. Turning her head, she wore a faint smile.

"Father, I can handle this!" Gu Simu declared.

She was unwilling to admit defeat. After speaking to Gu Lan, her aura flared up again. Her cold gaze was full of murderous intent. She had just been injured by this person, but it was because she had been careless. This time, she would not give him any opportunity. As for this "Blood Clan young lord," today he would die!

"Not bad, I guarantee you won't be able to retaliate this time!" Gu Simu said coldly. Without hesitation, she turned into a blur and dashed forward.

This time, she didn't use the Hammer of Evergreen Pine but instead unleashed the power she had gathered inside her body. With a series of explosions, the space around them twisted, and countless golden lights descended from the heavens.

The Blood Clan Young Lord, Xue Lengyi, was not willing to back down. Seeing the golden lights filling the sky, a blood-red light flashed in his eyes. He raised his hand, and a blood-red sword materialized, swinging it toward her.

"Ants like you don't deserve to challenge me!" Xue Lengyi snarled. His face twisted with a vicious grin, and an overwhelming sword force surged down, shattering Gu Simu's attack.

However, what he didn't expect was that, when the forces dissipated, Gu Simu had already vanished.

Before he could react, a massive hammer appeared above his head and descended with crushing force!

"Boom!"

By the time Xue Lengyi turned around, it was too late. With the sound of thunder, the blow sent him flying hundreds of thousands of feet away. Though he managed to stabilize himself, his body was covered in thousands of cuts, and his aura was nearly depleted.

Before he could recover, Gu Simu, with a cold and savage gaze, appeared behind him in a flash. She raised her fist and struck.

The overwhelming power left him with no ability to defend himself, and once again, he was sent reeling backward by over a hundred feet. His cultivation energy had dissipated, and his face had turned a deep shade of pale.

Though his eyes still bore a savage light, he didn't get a chance to speak, for Gu Simu taunted him mercilessly.

"You still dare call yourself the Blood Clan Young Lord? You're nothing but trash!" she sneered.

Her mocking words enraged him, but at that moment, he had no chance to retaliate. Before he could make another move, the opponent he had been fighting, Chen Feng, had retreated to his side. The man's face was grim, and his eyes were full of seriousness.

The two were nearly equals in strength, but Xue Lengyi's attacks were ineffective against Chen Feng. Every time he used his power, it was effortlessly blocked.

Seeing Xue Lengyi step forward again, this man, standing beside him, quickly grabbed his arm. His face darkened as he spoke.

"It's not suitable to stay here. We are no match for them. We should retreat!"

His tone was heavy, and before the Blood Clan Young Lord could respond, he swiftly pulled Xue Lengyi away, and the two of them quickly fled from the area, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Gu Simu, naturally unwilling to let them escape, was about to give chase when Gu Lan stepped forward and stopped her.

"Little girl, there's no need to chase after them. You're not fast enough to catch up with them!" he said calmly.

At these words, Gu Simu immediately frowned, her displeasure evident. She turned her head and snorted coldly before responding nonchalantly.

"That's not necessarily true. Those two are nothing but my underlings!" she replied with a dismissive tone.

Seeing her like this, Gu Lan didn't argue. As long as he could keep her under control, that would be enough.

Soon, the three of them returned to Lanyan Royal School and stood in the main hall. Chen Feng's face was still serious, and his eyes held a trace of gloom.

In the battle just now, he had thought he would emerge victorious, but the outcome had been completely different. He hadn't been injured, but throughout the battle, he had been under constant pressure. If it hadn't been for the artifact Gu Lan had given him, he would likely have been killed by now.

Although his expression was carefully controlled, it was impossible for Gu Lan not to notice the unease beneath it. He gave Chen Feng a sidelong glance and spoke in a neutral tone.

"Are you wondering why you lost to that person?"

Gu Lan's words directly echoed Chen Feng's thoughts. For a moment, Chen Feng froze but quickly regained his composure. Without hesitation, he nodded his head.

"Please, Master, guide me!" he asked earnestly.

Gu Lan didn't say much more. He raised his hand, and a golden light immediately entered Chen Feng's mind.

"Master this power, and you will gain insight," Gu Lan said calmly.

Having spoken, Gu Lan's gaze turned to Gu Simu.

Although Chen Feng was the eldest disciple at Lanyan Royal School and was unlikely to act out of line, Gu Simu, on the other hand, was unpredictable. He had to be cautious of her actions.

Noticing his gaze, Gu Simu smiled lightly.

"Father, what are you doing?" she asked, feigning confusion.

Gu Lan sighed helplessly and said, "Little girl, you mustn't cause trouble for them!"

This was a consideration for Gu Simu's safety. After all, the Blood Clan's power was not to be underestimated, and making a rash move could result in danger.

As soon as Gu Lan's words left his mouth, Gu Simu quickly nodded.

"Don't worry, Father. I won't go looking for trouble," she reassured him.

Although she spoke with such assurance, in her heart, she was already making other plans. She wouldn't go after those two, but Gu Lan hadn't said anything about going after others.

With a smile on her face, Gu Simu seemed innocent, but Gu Lan immediately felt uneasy. She appeared to be agreeing, but he knew better. He quickly turned his attention to Chen Feng, his voice now carrying weight.

"Make sure you keep an eye on this girl!" he ordered.

Gu Lan had little choice but to do so. With a sigh, he could only delegate the responsibility to Chen Feng.

After giving his instructions, Gu Lan said no more. Now, they had to wait.

At Lanyan Royal School, they wouldn't initiate any action, but if outsiders dared to cause trouble, they would not hold back. Anyone who dared attack would have to face the consequences.

Meanwhile, the two Blood Clan Young Lords who had escaped were now above a Star Realm. Their expressions were extremely cold, and their eyes gleamed with murderous intent.

"A mere Human Clan, and they dare to injure us like this!" Xue Lengyi's face twisted with fury. The murderous intent in his eyes burned with rage. He had been defeated by Gu Simu today, but he would have his revenge.

"This grudge will be repaid, but not now. Let's leave this place for now," said the man standing next to him. After leaving this remark, he didn't wait for a response and immediately shifted his aura, disappearing in a flash.

The Blood Clan had revealed itself to the world, and the Dark Clan had learned of it. At this moment, the Dark Master, deep in the abyss, stood with two Dark Clan guardians behind him. Before him was a towering ancient palace, the stone doors radiating an ominous black energy.

The Dark Master glanced at the palace, his face darkening. A cold light flickered in his eyes. This was the resting place of the Dark Clan's strongest warriors, and today, he would awaken them for his own purposes.

"Thank you, two seniors. Please, follow me and strike!" he commanded.
