My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty
Chapter 724 - 724: Falling into the Blood Clan's Trap

With a long sigh, Gu Lan spoke helplessly.

"Things are getting more complicated now, and I'm not sure if the disciples of Lanyan Royal School can handle it."

As he continued to reflect, a series of crisp footsteps suddenly echoed from outside the palace.

He paused, his gaze shifting toward the sound, a puzzled expression forming on his face.

Mu Yuyan stepped in from outside, a faint smile on her lips.

"I have good news to tell you!"

"Good news?"

Gu Lan's expression was filled with confusion as he questioned her, and Mu Yuyan didn't hesitate, smiling as she spoke to him.

"Today's battle with the foreign tribes—our disciples of Royal School won a great victory!"

At these words, a smile appeared on Gu Lan's face.

He trusted the strength of the Royal School's disciples, but he still felt a bit of joy hearing it.

Yet, Mu Yuyan seemed to be able to see right through his thoughts.

Before he could speak, she stepped closer and spoke again.

"Don't think too much about it. The disciples of Royal School are all elite, they are capable!"

"As the head of Lanyan Royal School, you should trust them!"

Gu Lan's expression became much firmer with her words.

"Of course, I trust my disciples!"

He then called out,

"Chen Feng, come here immediately!"

A burst of energy emanated from him, sending a golden light from his fingertips.

It wasn't long before Chen Feng arrived, entering the palace.

He respectfully bowed and stood up straight.

"Greetings, Master!"

"I heard your team achieved a great victory today?"

Chen Feng nodded in acknowledgment, a hint of pride on his face.

It was hard for him to suppress, considering the huge victory, and only a few disciples were injured.

"You did well, but I still hope you all prioritize your safety!"

As Gu Lan spoke, his expression turned more serious, and Chen Feng naturally understood his meaning.

Although Gu Lan didn't intervene often, he still cared deeply for the lives of the disciples.

"Master, don't worry. We will certainly keep that in mind!"

Just as he was about to raise his head, Gu Lan raised his hand, sending another golden light toward him.

Chen Feng froze, his face lighting up with excitement as he quickly bowed once more.

"Thank you, Master!"

"Go on," Gu Lan said casually, waving his hand.

Understanding the unspoken cue, Chen Feng withdrew after giving one final respectful bow.

The palace was now empty, save for Gu Lan and Mu Yuyan.

As Mu Yuyan turned to leave, Gu Lan stepped forward with a faint smile.

Before she could say anything, he gently wrapped her in his arms.

"What are you doing?"

Mu Yuyan's voice was soft, her cheek resting against his chest.

Gu Lan smiled lightly before responding calmly,

"I'm not doing anything. Can't I hold you?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Yuyan didn't argue or resist.

The peaceful moment would have continued, but external forces disrupted their time.

A powerful aura suddenly emanated, shaking the very heavens and earth.

The terrifying bloodlust swept over everything, engulfing the entire Lanyan Royal School.

Sensing the energy, Gu Lan's expression darkened immediately, his eyes flashing coldly.

It was the Blood Clan's aura. These guys had come here again.

"Looking for death!"

They had ruined his peaceful moment, and Gu Lan wouldn't let them off so easily.

But just as he was about to act, Mu Yuyan raised her hand to stop him.

"I'll go take a look."

"You—"

Before he could finish his sentence, Mu Yuyan's aura erupted.

"These past few days, you've been handling things. Rest now, let me take care of this!"

Seeing Mu Yuyan's determination, Gu Lan found it hard to argue.

He could only nod in agreement, but not before pulling out the Hongmeng Sword.

"Take this sword with you for protection," he said.

Mu Yuyan didn't refuse this time. She knew the power of the Hongmeng Sword.

Even without Gu Lan's direct presence, it would still provide her with considerable strength.

With a quick adjustment, Mu Yuyan vanished from her position.

In the blink of an eye, she was soaring through the sky, her eyes cold with killing intent.

"Since you've already chosen to act, don't hide anymore. Show yourselves!"

Her icy voice resonated, and from the distance, several figures appeared.

At the front was a black-robed envoy, wielding a blood-red scythe.

"I thought it would be him, but to my surprise, it's you!"

The man spoke coldly, and Mu Yuyan's face twisted into a look of disdain, her aura growing even more intense.

"With your pitiful strength, you don't even need my husband's help. I can handle this on my own!"

With that, Mu Yuyan became a blur, her body vanishing like a shadow.

The moment she moved, her energy exploded, sending out a wave of power.

But what she didn't expect was that instead of meeting her attack head-on, the Blood Clan members dodged.

They leaped thousands of feet away in an instant.

"Come after us if you can!"

Mu Yuyan's temper flared at this challenge. Naturally, she couldn't let it slide.

With a grimace, she gripped the Hongmeng Sword tightly, and the sword became an extension of her will.

The sword was obedient in her hands, a stark contrast to the others who struggled to control it.

"Come to Lanyan Royal School and act recklessly. You think you can escape?"

The Blood Clan members didn't slow their pace, and Mu Yuyan chased them relentlessly.

In just a few moments, she caught up with them and reached a vast expanse of starry sky.

But instead of continuing to flee, the Blood Clan members sneered with contempt.

"Still following us? You must be tired of living!"

Their auras flared, and a blood-colored cage descended from the heavens.

Mu Yuyan didn't have time to dodge, and the cage enveloped her.

The Blood Clan members unleashed their full strength, all Imperial Realm level five experts.

Seeing the swirling blood energy around her, Mu Yuyan's expression turned cold, and she raised her sword.

The sound of a piercing sword hum rang out, and the blood energy surrounding her shattered.

But the blood-colored cage remained intact, showing no signs of breaking.

Mu Yuyan's face darkened as her eyes filled with chilling intent.

She continued to swing her sword, striking hundreds of times, but the result was the same—nothing worked.

The Blood Clan members laughed coldly, their disdain clear.

"This wasn't even meant for you, but now you're asking for death!"

"You guys think you can stop me?"

Mu Yuyan's face remained cold as she stopped attacking.

Inside the cage, she realized that the faster she attacked, the more energy she expended.

She couldn't continue like this, or she'd end up weakening herself too much.

She needed to find a way out, or she would leave a weakness for them to exploit.

Back in the palace, Gu Lan had already sensed something was wrong.

The enemies' strength was nothing to worry about, so why hadn't Mu Yuyan returned yet?
