My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty
Chapter 728 - 728: You Arrived Too Late

"Had we kicked this guy out earlier, we would have had less trouble!"

Xue Wuyan snorted coldly, his eyes already filled with disdain.

If it had been before, the two of them would never have let this guy leave.

But now it was different. This man was isolated and helpless, destined to disappear sooner or later.

"Now it's time for us to act!"

Xue Wuheng coldly spoke, the killing intent flowing from his eyes.

Previously, they had been defeated by Gu Lan, but now it was time to take their revenge.

"Send someone to deal with it, but remember, don't make a move openly!"

They were cautious in their actions. Xue Wuyan and Xue Wuheng knew Gu Lan's strength and understood they were not a match for him in direct combat.

However, in the vast Lanyan Royal School, Gu Lan was the only one who posed any real threat.

As for the others, they didn't take them seriously at all.

At this moment, Gu Lan had returned to Lanyan Royal School. As soon as he stepped inside, he saw Zhongren in the distance.

Zhongren was performing a hand seal, his expression extremely serious, as though he was trying to calculate something.

Seeing this, Gu Lan froze for a moment, a trace of confusion appearing on his face.

Under his gaze, Zhongren's aura intensified, and countless golden lights flickered around him.

Not long after, the energy suddenly exploded, and Zhongren was violently thrown back several hundred meters.

Struggling to get up from the ground, Zhongren spat blood, his complexion pale to the extreme.

When he saw Gu Lan, he made a strenuous bow.

"Greetings, my Lord!"

Gu Lan was surprised by this, quickly walking forward to reverse the flow of his true energy and stabilize Zhongren's injuries.

"What happened to you just now?"

Gu Lan was perplexed. How could Zhongren be so badly injured?

After a while, Zhongren's injuries were somewhat stabilized.

His face was still grim, and he sighed heavily.

"I was trying to calculate something, but I failed."

Just now, he had entered the River of Time, but he found no results within it.

The most fatal part was when he touched a trace of power, it backfired on him.

He had been backfired before, but never to such a terrifying degree.

Fortunately, he had stopped in time, or he would have been dead.

"What were you trying to calculate?"

Gu Lan knew Zhongren's method of calculation was highly advanced, so he trusted him greatly.

Thus, he was even more curious as to what he had been trying to calculate that led to such injuries.

"My life and death."

Zhongren spoke gravely, then stopped.

In fact, this wasn't the first time he had calculated his life and death.

When he first learned Qimen Dunjia, he had attempted it.

However, at that time, due to his insufficient cultivation, he had to give up.

But now he found that it wasn't like before, where he couldn't calculate anything at all.

Seeing his grim face, Gu Lan patted his shoulder with a calm expression.

"Don't think too much about it. Heaven has it own plan."

Some things couldn't be calculated, and that was understandable.

Upon hearing this, Zhongren nodded with a serious expression and said no more.

Actually, he had hidden something. Just now, he was also calculating the outcome between him and Gu Lan.

However, no matter which one he tried to calculate, he couldn't find an answer.

Moreover, he also noticed that the reason for the failure of the calculation was strongly related to Gu Lan.

"Rest for now. Afterward, I have something I need your help with!"

Gu Lan spoke in a calm tone, leaving behind four or five Spirit Fruits for Zhongren before leaving.

Zhongren naturally wouldn't refuse these items. He quickly gathered them up.

His power had been damaged, and he urgently needed these Spirit Fruits to recover.

With these Spirit Fruits, his recovery would be faster and more efficient.

Just now, Gu Lan had mentioned that there was something else he wanted to discuss with him.

Thus, Zhongren knew he had to accelerate his recovery and not delay Gu Lan's progress.

Gu Lan stayed in the palace for a short while before Xue Lengyan made a move.

A blood-red light appeared from outside the palace and immediately reached his ears.

"Master Gu, the situation has changed. Please make a move quickly!"

Her voice was slightly anxious, and there was only that one sentence.

Gu Lan furrowed his brows, his eyes darkening.

The situation had changed. Did this mean more trouble had appeared?

With a cold expression, he released his aura and stepped into the void.

As soon as he stopped, the space in the distance was torn apart.

Xue Lengyan walked out from within, her expression still somewhat grim.

"My subordinates couldn't lead them here. We still need Master Gu to come with me!"

Though she had already spoken, Gu Lan did not move an inch.

"Why should I listen to you?"

His words had been anticipated by Xue Lengyan. She glanced at him, then said slowly,

"Do you know why they didn't come? Your Lanyan Royal School disciples are outside, aren't they?"

Though she didn't state it clearly, her meaning was obvious.

If it weren't for that, how could she have failed?

She had already made the greatest concessions. As for what happened next, she didn't want to say too much.

Hearing this, Gu Lan's face changed, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

No wonder those people hadn't come here. It seemed they had other plans.

"Where are they?"

Gu Lan was very concerned about the Lanyan Royal School disciples. His voice was cold, and a killing intent appeared in his eyes.

Since he had agreed, Xue Lengyan didn't hesitate.

She released her aura and sped off toward the distance.

Gu Lan didn't hesitate either, releasing his aura and following her.

Not long after, the two of them arrived in the starry sky.

Looking at the vast sea of blood, Gu Lan immediately felt uneasy.

Something was wrong!

As soon as they entered, the stench of blood assaulted them.

In the starry sky above, dozens of corpses floated, all of them disciples from his Royal School.

In the distance, over a hundred Blood Clan members were acting arrogantly, their faces filled with disdainful smiles.

"I thought the disciples of Lanyan Royal School were so strong? Turns out they're so weak, wasting our time! A bunch of useless trash!"

Gu Lan's face turned icy. There was no need to talk to these savages. In an instant, the Hongmeng Sword appeared in his hand.

It was expected that some would die in the struggle, but these bastards had gone too far!

While the Blood Clan was still extremely arrogant, Gu Lan's face darkened, and his aura surged.

With a single swing, a burst of tearing sound filled the air, shaking the entire firmament.

The explosion rang out, and the surrounding space was instantly turned into dust by the sword.

Before the Blood Clan could react, they were blasted back several thousand meters.

Stabilizing themselves, the Blood Clan members appeared somewhat disheveled, their auras severely diminished.

With cold eyes, Gu Lan gazed at them. The killing intent in their eyes was unmistakable.

"Who? Who dares attack us? Are you tired of living?"

A cold voice reverberated through the skies, but as soon as the words were spoken, Gu Lan charged forward with his sword raised.

"Why wouldn't I dare to attack you?"

Upon seeing Gu Lan, their expressions darkened, and their eyes filled with murderous intent.

"You're late. The disciples of Lanyan Royal School have already been killed by us!"

At first, Gu Lan was simply annoyed, but hearing this, his anger flared even more.

These people were extremely arrogant. Before they could even finish speaking, Gu Lan's Hongmeng Sword struck.
