My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty
Chapter 725 - 725: Acts with Extreme Decisiveness

At this moment, Gu Lan slightly furrowed his brows, his face darkening as his aura immediately emanated outward. With a single step, he ascended into the sky, his spiritual senses extending hundreds of miles. Soon, he detected Mu Yuyan's presence, and a killing intent instantly flooded his eyes.

"Quite bold, aren't they? If they seek death, don't blame me!"

Gu Lan wasn't particularly opposed to the Blood Clan, but they had touched his forbidden line. With a single step, he transformed into a shadow, disappearing in an instant. In the blink of an eye, he arrived at the starry sky above.

Seeing that Mu Yuyan was trapped, he released his aura.

"Truly daring to make such a move!" he said coldly.

Upon hearing his chilling voice, the Blood Clan members were momentarily stunned. However, when they turned to face him, contemptuous smirks appeared on their faces.

"You dare to come here!"

Gu Lan's face remained icy as he slowly advanced toward them. The Blood Clan members were cautious and didn't hesitate, immediately activating their auras. Though their power was formidable, it couldn't even touch Gu Lan's body. As the bloodlight surged toward him, it was shattered by his overwhelming force.

Seeing this, the Blood Clan members were momentarily stunned, their gazes shifting to Mu Yuyan.

"If you dare to move forward, we will kill her now!" They threatened, using Mu Yuyan's life as leverage, and it was effective.

Gu Lan paused, but the murderous intent in his eyes remained.

Raising one hand, the Hongmeng Sword immediately returned to his grip.

"I'll give you a chance: let's see who's faster, you or me!"

Gu Lan's voice was cold as he released his aura. The Hongmeng Sword gleamed with golden light as he swung it down. The sound of space being torn apart echoed as a sword strike from the heavens came crashing down.

The surrounding space shattered, and the cage holding Mu Yuyan was sliced apart by his single strike.

By the time the Blood Clan members regained their senses, they were already tens of thousands of meters away. Around Gu Lan, the space continued to explode, creating a black hole.

Gu Lan's cold gaze instantly locked onto the five of them.

"Since you like playing games so much, then let's play to the fullest!"

Gu Lan's voice was icy as sword light continuously poured down around the Blood Clan members.

Upon seeing this immense power, the Blood Clan members immediately unleashed their own auras. The blood energy surrounded them, enveloping their bodies for protection.

However, they were no match for Gu Lan and had no strength left to resist.

The sword light descended, and the surrounding blood energy dissipated. Three of the Blood Clan members fell into a pool of blood.

The man dressed in black robes managed to block some of the strikes, but he had barely any energy left. He staggered backward for several hundred meters, his aura nearly depleted. He tried to escape, but how could he possibly outrun Gu Lan?

Gu Lan's expression remained icy as he raised the Hongmeng Sword toward the man.

Seeing Gu Lan approach step by step, the black-robed man's face turned frantic.

"You can't kill me! I'm under Xue Lengyan, the young lord's command!"

At first, Gu Lan wasn't interested in him, but upon hearing this, his interest was piqued.

"So, you're here under his orders?" Gu Lan's voice grew colder as he stepped closer.

Upon hearing this, the black-robed man froze in place, not daring to say another word.

"Not willing to speak, huh? Then let him come here himself!"

"Since you're here, I'll spare your life for now. If he doesn't come, I'll kill you!"

Under the threat of death, the black-robed man finally relented and sent a signal. He couldn't risk his own life; Xue Lengyan would definitely not let him die.

Soon, a figure appeared in the distant sky.

Upon seeing the visitor, Gu Lan's expression darkened, and a flash of murderous intent appeared in his eyes.

Xue Lengyan walked forward with an icy expression, confusion evident in her eyes. She hadn't expected Gu Lan to be here, and her subordinate hurried toward her.

"Is he going to kill me?"

Upon hearing the subordinate's accusation, Gu Lan sneered in disdain.

"Why don't you tell me what happened?"

When Xue Lengyan heard this, a bad feeling rose in her heart.

"What happened?" Her voice was icy, carrying an air of command.

Her subordinate remained silent, his face darkening.

Seeing that no one was speaking, Gu Lan calmly added, "He tried to kill me. I'm not sure if that's your intention?"

Gu Lan's voice was as cold as ice, and his eyes filled with murderous intent. If this was really Xue Lengyan's order, he wouldn't hesitate to deal with her as well. He had already told Xue Lengyan before that it would be easy for him to kill her.

Xue Lengyan froze for a moment, her expression darkening. She then turned to her subordinate and spoke coldly, "Is this true?"

Her words were sharp, causing the subordinate to lower his head, unable to respond.

Realizing what had happened, Xue Lengyan's heart sank. Without giving the subordinate any time to react, she immediately raised her hand and grabbed his throat.

"I warned you before: don't cause trouble here. How dare you ignore my warning?"

The man struggled desperately in Xue Lengyan's grip, hastily trying to explain.

"It's not like that! He insulted you before, and I just wanted to..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Xue Lengyan's grip tightened, and a crack of breaking bones sounded. The man's struggles ceased, and his life was extinguished.

Without even glancing at the body, Xue Lengyan threw the corpse aside.

Gu Lan was somewhat surprised by her decisiveness.

"Master Gu, the trouble has been dealt with. Our previous cooperation still stands."

Since Xue Lengyan had already handled it this way, Gu Lan didn't feel the need to say much. He simply nodded in agreement.

"According to your words."

After speaking, Gu Lan said no more, and together with Mu Yuyan, they left the scene.

However, after walking a few steps, Gu Lan suddenly stopped. Without turning back, he coldly said:

"Take care of your subordinates. If this happens again, I'll kill you both."

With those words, a terrifying aura erupted from him. The overwhelming pressure hit Xue Lengyan, causing her to feel the weight of his killing intent.

Though Xue Lengyan could withstand the pressure, she felt a deep sense of dread. She had never bowed to anyone before, but in front of Gu Lan's absolute power, she had no choice but to lower her head.

She knew that Gu Lan was not joking.

If her movements had been even a moment slower, she would have been the one dead just now.

Soon, Gu Lan arrived at Lanyan Royal School. After ensuring that Mu Yuyan was uninjured, he withdrew his aura.

"You must not be so reckless next time. If there's trouble, let me handle it!" Gu Lan's concern for Mu Yuyan's safety was clear. Thankfully, she had not been harmed. If she had been, Xue Lengyan wouldn't have survived.

"It's fine, see? I'm all right," Mu Yuyan reassured him.

"Don't worry, I won't be so rash next time."

With that, she didn't say any more.

The two of them fell silent, but it was clear they had said everything they needed to.

Just then, Gu Simu suddenly came running from outside the hall.

"Father!" Gu Simu's voice rang out.

Both Gu Lan and Mu Yuyan were caught off guard, quickly masking their expressions.

Turning, Gu Lan's face softened with a gentle smile as he asked, "What brings you here, little one?"
