My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty
Chapter 727 - 727: Continuously Rejected

Gu Lan's voice was cold and indifferent, his expression unchanged. He had no interest in this person whatsoever. He had already done enough before. Given the current situation, this person no longer had the qualifications to negotiate terms with him!

With a cold look on his face, Gu Lan spoke, and Xue Lengyan's expression grew more serious. Yet, he showed no intention of leaving. He glanced at Gu Lan and then, in a deep voice, said again, "My subordinates have received word that the other two will retaliate against you! Their subordinates are numerous, and they have already joined forces!"

At these words, Gu Lan's expression darkened, his eyes flashing with a chilling coldness, fierce to the extreme.

"Are you threatening me?"

His face grew even colder, and the Hongmeng Sword in his hand immediately emitted a cold gleam. Energy surged out, and terrifying true qi quickly spread in all directions. In the face of his overwhelming presence, Xue Lengyan had no room to resist. His expression turned uncomfortable, and his eyes became filled with solemnity. He took a cautious step back, a faint layer of blood qi appearing around him.

"I do not mean to threaten you. I am simply speaking the truth!" Xue Lengyan replied hastily. "If you are willing to make a move, my subordinates can help you resolve these troubles, and the disciples of Lanyan Royal School will no longer be involved!"

This offer was quite tempting to Gu Lan, as he didn't know these other individuals or where they might strike from. Since they had chosen to retaliate against him, it was likely they would attack from the shadows. If that were the case, the disciples of Lanyan Royal School would have no advantage, and some could even lose their lives.

Seeing that Gu Lan seemed a bit shaken, Xue Lengyan quickly seized the opportunity. "As long as you eliminate them, I can guarantee that Blood Clan will no longer trouble you!"

After a few moments of contemplation, Gu Lan's murderous aura finally receded slightly when he looked up again.

"Alright, if that's the case, I'll go along with your suggestion, but you have to lure them out first!"

Gu Lan wasn't a fool. If he took the initiative to find them, the situation would be entirely different. Since he had already agreed to take action, this small condition was something Xue Lengyan couldn't refuse. He nodded repeatedly.

"Of course! That is my responsibility. I will send someone to lure them out, and then you can make your move, Master Gu!"

Having been rejected by Gu Lan, Xue Lengyi quickly sought out the other two individuals, Xue Wuyan and Xue Wuheng. While he usually had a strained relationship with them, he still needed to utilize them in critical moments.

Within moments, he arrived at a vast starry sky, dense with blood qi. Looking down, he soon spotted the figures of numerous powerful individuals.

"These two guys have trained so many strong people!" Xue Lengyi couldn't help but murmur. He had heard of their vast subordinates, but he didn't realize the rumors were true. The Blood Clan had indeed amassed a great number of strong warriors.

Suppressing his presence, he quickly approached. However, as he got closer, two men dressed in black armor blocked his path.

"You, Xue Lengyi Young Lord, may I ask why you have come here?" one of the men asked coldly, blood qi swirling around them.

They addressed him as "Young Lord" out of courtesy, but there was no trace of respect in their tone. After all, they didn't take orders from Xue Lengyi; even in the Blood Clan, he held no authority over them.

"I'm here to speak with your Young Lord. Move aside!" Xue Lengyi said with confidence, his arrogance apparent.

However, the two men showed no sign of letting him pass, their faces growing colder instead.

"Please leave," they said firmly.

"Who do you think you are? How dare you block me?" Xue Lengyi's face darkened, and his killing intent surged. He wasn't trying to boast, but with just a few people like these, he truly didn't take them seriously. Killing them would be like squashing ants!

"Leave now, this is our final warning. If you do not leave, do not blame us for being ruthless!" one of the men said coldly.

"Ruthless? Heh! I'll show you how ruthless I can be!" Xue Lengyi's fury had been building, and he was itching to unleash it. These two had just presented themselves as perfect targets. Why should he hold back?

His face grew icy, and the killing intent in his eyes immediately spilled over. His power was far superior to theirs, and as soon as his energy burst forth, the two men's forces were shattered. Under this pressure, they had no strength to resist and were forced back two steps. Though they managed to steady themselves, their faces were filled with humiliation.

Just as Xue Lengyi was preparing to strike, two figures emerged from the formation.

"I was wondering who it was. It's Big Brother Lengyi!" Xue Wuyan and Xue Wuheng emerged from the formation, cold smiles on their faces as their energy erupted.

Seeing them appear, Xue Lengyi stopped. He quickly suppressed his energy, his face as cold as ice.

"These two spoke disrespectfully to me, so I taught them a lesson," Xue Lengyi said in a flat tone, his expression showing no emotion.

The two men didn't seem to care much, instead, they laughed coldly.

"Indeed, they deserved a lesson, but isn't this our territory? May I ask what you are doing here?" They didn't outright say it, but their expressions made their intentions clear: they were not welcoming Xue Lengyi. It was common knowledge in the Blood Clan that they didn't respect him.

Faced with their question, Xue Lengyi's expression grew colder. "I've come to discuss a cooperation with you two. Are you interested?"

His words left the two men stunned for a moment, but soon they regained their composure and their cold smiles grew wider.

"Cooperation? Are you joking?" Xue Wuyan sneered. "She's already cooperating with outsiders. If the three of us don't take action soon, we might be kicked out!"

He was referring to Xue Lengyan, but the two men didn't take it seriously.

"We know about that, but what does that have to do with us? She can deal with you, but can she deal with the two of us?" Xue Wuyan said dismissively. "If we kick you out, we'll have one less opponent. Why not do it?"

"We suggest you leave," Xue Wuheng added. "We're not interested in what you're saying. If you linger, don't blame us for not being polite."

The two of them had already lost all pretense of friendliness, their cold voices making it clear they weren't interested in Xue Lengyi. Without another word, they turned and left.

Xue Lengyi's face darkened. His eyes were already filled with killing intent. He had come in good faith, but these two not only ignored him, they also acted in this manner.

"You two will regret this. You'll pay the price soon enough!" he muttered under his breath, his anger now barely contained.

In the formation, Xue Wuyan and Xue Wuheng stood laughing coldly, their energy receding as they turned away.

"Just him? What a joke!" they mocked, enjoying the thought of their superiority.
