My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty
Chapter 742 - 742: How Can Divine Son Get Off So Easily

These guys were very secretive in their methods. If Gu Lan hadn't come here, he would never have detected them.

His gaze darkened as he looked down, and a cold glint appeared in his eyes. His inner Qi spread out, and the Hongmeng Sword appeared in his hand.

These guys were so close to Lanyan Royal School. From this, it was clear that they had no good intentions.

Quickly, he descended from the sky, and before he got too close, a series of whispers came from the distance. Hearing these voices, Gu Lan's expression turned dark, but he paused, wanting to observe what these people were up to.

"I wonder what Divine Son is thinking. Why waste time here with us? Wouldn't it be better to just mobilize the entire clan and deal with him directly?" one of them muttered.

"We just follow the orders. Whatever he says, we do!" another one replied.

"Sigh, forget it, this is the last step!"

These two were actually Imperial Realm Fourth-Stage experts. After some complaints, they both stood up and released their energy. A golden light burst out of their bodies, heading toward a glowing pillar of light in front of them.

At the sight of their power, Gu Lan's gaze sharpened.

"What a clever trick. They've set up a Four Symbols Formation here!" he muttered under his breath.

It seemed that only the last piece of energy was needed to complete the formation. Once it was formed, Lanyan Royal School would be in great danger.

His expression grew darker as a murderous intent appeared in his eyes. If he dealt with these two, the problem would be solved.

However, just as he took a step forward, he suddenly stopped and smiled faintly.

Killing these two would only solve the problem for a while. But if he tampered with the formation, the solution would be much quicker.

His Hongmeng Sword glowed and he moved forward with a cold smile. He deliberately concealed his aura and moved swiftly. These two didn't notice a thing, and before they could sense the cold air from behind, it was too late.

Gu Lan's sword was already pressed to one of their throats.

The other turned just in time to see Gu Lan's hand wrapping around his throat. With a slight squeeze, the sound of bones cracking echoed, and the life drained from the man's body.

"You two really are crafty, hiding your moves so well. Let me lend you a hand!" Gu Lan said with a sneer.

Although these two didn't know who he was or his purpose, they could sense the intense killing intent in his eyes.

"We're from Bright Clan! If you kill us, Divine Son will never forgive you!" the man in Gu Lan's grasp struggled desperately, his eyes filled with anger.

Gu Lan sneered again.

"Oh? Well, I'd love to test that theory."

With that, he tightened his grip. A crisp crack sounded as the man's breath left him.

Gu Lan acted swiftly and mercilessly. He tossed the lifeless body aside carelessly and turned his attention to the other man.

The man controlled by Hongmeng Sword was looking increasingly pale, his eyes filled with trepidation.

He no longer dared to shout, nor did he dare speak another word.

"I'll tell you everything. In the face of absolute power, I had no choice but to surrender," the man said, his voice trembling.

Gu Lan wasn't interested in his confession, though.

He glanced at the man with a cold look, and in an instant, the sword light flashed.

"Do you think I still need it?" Gu Lan asked coldly.

The man's mouth spilled blood as his body went limp, his life snuffed out instantly.

"You!" The second man couldn't even finish his words before Gu Lan threw him down from the air, his powers vanishing in an instant.

With a cold laugh, Gu Lan retracted his Hongmeng Sword.

It wasn't that he was heartless, but if he didn't eliminate these two, it would be his disciples at Royal School who would pay the price.

As he looked at the nearly completed Azure Dragon Formation, his smile deepened, and he raised his hand to strike.

However, he didn't destroy the formation. Instead, he infused his own power into it.

With the infusion of his energy, golden light flashed, and the entire sky seemed to change color.

...

After some time, Gu Lan finally withdrew his energy. The formation was complete, but now it was under his control.

"Divine Son Arthur, I've prepared a lovely surprise for you, just wait!" he muttered.

They had wanted to use the formation to deal with him, but now, he would use it to deal with them instead.

With his goal achieved, he didn't linger any longer and disappeared from the scene.

A short time later, he returned to Lanyan Royal School.

As soon as he landed, Zhongren hurried over, bowing respectfully. Then he looked up, his face full of concern.

"My Lord, did you discover something?"

Seeing Zhongren's cautious look, Gu Lan waved his hand indifferently.

"It was just a small issue. It's already been dealt with. No need to worry about it!"

Zhongren felt relieved upon hearing this. He was well aware of Gu Lan's strength. Since Gu Lan had already resolved the issue, there was no need for him to get involved.

Just as he was about to turn and leave, Gu Simu suddenly appeared from outside the palace, running toward them.

Seeing her so cheerful, both Gu Lan and Zhongren exchanged curious looks. It seemed that she had encountered something exciting.

Gu Simu didn't waste any time. She quickly approached them, stopping before Zhongren. She then turned her gaze to Gu Lan.

"Father, I have something I'm not sure if I should mention," she said, looking uncertain.

Her act was obvious, and Gu Lan could easily tell that she was pretending to be conflicted.

"What's this? Just speak up, daughter," Gu Lan said with indulgence.

Gu Simu knew that Gu Lan was fond of her and could always get whatever she wanted from him. So, she smiled faintly and said, "It's not really a big deal, but I've offended a few people, and I want you to handle it for me."

Gu Lan was taken aback. This daughter never feared anyone, so why was she asking him for help now?

It seemed like the problem must be serious.

But he didn't refuse, as it was rare for her to ask for his help.

"Alright, I'll handle it. Let's see who these people are," he replied with a faint smile, releasing his aura.

Gu Simu quickly nodded in agreement. Since Gu Lan had agreed, there was no reason to waste any more time.

The two of them released their energy and leapt into the void. Zhongren naturally didn't follow. Gu Lan didn't need any help with this matter, and Zhongren would only be a burden if he tagged along.

Under Gu Simu's lead, they moved quickly, reaching a location several thousand feet away in no time.

They stopped in the void, and their energy surged.

However, Gu Lan found something strange—he couldn't sense anything here.
