My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty
Chapter 729 - 729: The Outcome is Already Decided

Gu Lan's expression was cold, and the sword light flickered continuously, causing the entire space to tremble.

Seeing the sword light coming towards them, the people standing in the distance all had a grim expression. Their aura exploded at this moment, but in the end, they had overestimated themselves. Gu Lan's strength was something they could never hope to withstand.

"Boom!"

The sound of an explosion rang out, and over forty people were immediately swallowed up by the blast. The remaining ones looked terribly pale, retreating several hundred feet away, their eyes full of deep apprehension.

They had just activated their power, yet still couldn't block Gu Lan's sword strike.

Now, they had no choice but to be cautious. Each of them appeared dark and somber, their eyes filled with murderous intent.

"How can this guy's power be so terrifying?"

They truly felt fear now. They no longer dared to directly confront Gu Lan. They all understood that if they continued like this, there was a high chance they would die here.

The group was already considering retreating, but Gu Lan's expression remained as cold as ever.

"Now you want to leave? It's too late!"

His icy voice cut through the air.

As they looked up, dozens of sword lights descended from the void. They didn't even have the strength to counter; their auras disappeared in an instant.

The sounds of agony echoed through the skies as Gu Lan's face remained indifferent. In just a few moments, the Hongmeng Sword returned to his hand.

Xue Lengyan frowned deeply, her face dark and her eyes filled with lingering apprehension. She realized that what she had seen earlier was just the tip of the iceberg. Gu Lan's strength was far more terrifying than she had imagined. Based on that one strike, she could tell that Gu Lan hadn't used his full power.

At this moment, she didn't dare to speak further. She knew that Gu Lan was in a bad mood.

Now that the immediate trouble was dealt with, Gu Lan's expression remained cold as he withdrew his aura.

"I've taken care of these guys for you. Don't disappoint me, or you know the consequences."

He spoke in a cold tone, without stopping for a second, and vanished from the scene.

After Gu Lan left, Xue Lengyan finally felt relieved. Though she hadn't dared to speak in front of him, she was satisfied with the outcome. Gu Lan's sword had solved a lot of her problems. Now, the number of people under the control of those two was significantly reduced.

A cold smile spread across her face, and her aura surged.

At this moment, several figures appeared suddenly from the shadows and quickly arrived in front of her.

"Greetings, Young Lord!"

"Now it's your time to show your worth. Go!"

Receiving Xue Lengyan's command, these individuals immediately mobilized their cultivation, disappearing in a flash. Their speed was so fast that not a trace of their presence remained.

At this time, Xue Wuyan and Xue Wuheng had also received the news.

Their faces grew dark, and as soon as the report was finished, the two of them roared in anger.

"A bunch of useless fools!"

They had initially planned to target the disciples of Lanyan Royal School, but they hadn't anticipated that Gu Lan would notice them. Now, with over a hundred of their core members dead at Gu Lan's hands, how could they not feel pain?

Those people had been their most important force, and now that force was almost gone.

Their subordinates didn't know what to say.

Just then, another figure hurriedly approached, and as soon as he reached the two of them, he fell to his knees.

"Reporting to the Young Lords, Xue Lengyan's subordinates have arrived!"

Hearing this, the two of them were stunned for a moment, and their expressions immediately darkened.

"What are her subordinates doing here?"

"Looks like they mean us harm. We might be in trouble!"

The subordinate's expression was grim, his eyes filled with seriousness. He understood the tensions between the two sides and did not want to be caught up in this conflict, but now there was no room to back out. If they weren't careful, they could end up dead.

"Since they've come, then kill them!"

Xue Wuyan and Xue Wuheng had made up their minds to go all out. There was no point in continuing to hesitate.

With that, they released their auras and coldly walked outside.

When their subordinates saw them take action, they quickly followed.

Once they arrived outside the formation, they saw the figures of Xue Lengyan's subordinates.

These people exuded terrifying auras, and their bloodlust filled the sky.

Seeing the power they released, Xue Wuyan and Xue Wuheng's faces darkened, and a murderous gleam flashed in their eyes.

"What are you people doing here?"

Their voices were cold, and their auras were unrestrained.

Before they could finish speaking, one of Xue Lengyan's subordinates stepped forward and sneered coldly.

"Of course, we're here to take your lives!"

Before, they might have been polite to these people, but now, there was no more pretense.

As soon as the words left his mouth, they turned into shadows, charging straight toward them.

The bloodlust that enveloped the entire sky was terrifying, and the immense pressure quickly descended upon them.

Seeing the incoming power, Xue Wuyan and Xue Wuheng immediately shot up into the air. Although the strength of these people was strong, it wasn't enough to make them fear.

"Boom!"

A loud sound rang out, causing the entire sky to tremble. The arrogant group was forced back, unable to even get close.

When the blood-red light faded, Xue Lengyan's subordinates had been sent flying back several hundred feet.

Xue Lengyan was watching from the shadows, her face now much darker. She was filled with murderous intent as her aura surged.

"These two have hidden themselves well, but today, it ends!"

Just as her subordinates were about to take action again, she stepped out from the shadows.

Seeing her, the others quickly withdrew, standing behind her.

"Young Lord!"

"A bunch of fools! You can't even handle such a small matter, and I have to do it myself!"

Hearing her words, the subordinates lowered their heads even more, quickly speaking up to defend themselves.

"We failed in our duty, please Young Lord punish us!"

"I'll spare you this time. Go deal with that person. I'll take care of the two of them."

Xue Lengyan's cold voice echoed, and her aura erupted, turning into a shadow as she disappeared.

In the blink of an eye, she appeared behind one of the figures, her power surging as she struck out with her palm.

Her strength surpassed that of Leng Wuyan and Leng Wuheng, and the power she unleashed was terrifying.

With just a single strike, she drained the strength from these individuals, leaving them unable to retaliate.

Gu Lan had been watching everything unfold.

Looking at the blood-red light in the sky, he couldn't help but smile coldly.

These guys were interesting, much stronger than he had expected.

However, he had no interest in such matters. His only concern was that the Blood Clan didn't cause trouble for Lanyan Royal School.

With the overall outcome of the battle decided, he had no intention of watching any further.

He activated his aura and turned, disappearing from the scene.

When Gu Lan returned to Lanyan Royal School, Zhongren was waiting for him.
