My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty
Chapter 750 - 750: Into the Upper God Clan

As he spoke, Gu Lan's face curled into a cold smile.

For those who refused to obey, he didn't waste words—he simply solved the problem with a single strike of his sword.

After shaking off the blood on the Hongmeng Sword, he relaxed his aura slightly.

Hearing his words, the remaining three looked at him in shock and confusion.

Was Gu Lan really trying to get himself killed by heading into the Upper God Clan?

They couldn't understand what he was thinking.

But if that was the case, they would simply take advantage of the opportunity to settle the score.

Although they weren't a match for Gu Lan, there were plenty of strong experts in the Upper God Clan.

It would be easy to deal with Gu Lan there.

"Since the senior is willing to come with us, please, follow us," they said, agreeing swiftly, a sneer crossing their faces.

Though it lasted only for a moment, Gu Lan saw it clearly.

How could their small tricks fool him?

With a cold glance, Gu Lan responded leisurely.

"Don't worry, you won't get the chance."

Upon hearing these words, the three were left confused.

But just as they turned their heads, Gu Lan had already placed a soul mark on them.

Their cultivation levels were beneath Gu Lan's, so naturally, they couldn't avoid this technique.

By the time they felt the power, it was already too late. The group froze in place, their faces turning unusually ugly.

"You..."

They hated Gu Lan to the bone, but never had they expected that he would possess such a method.

Seeing their reactions, Gu Lan spoke calmly.

"Just in case, I've taken the precaution of putting a mark on you."

"But don't worry, as long as you don't cause any trouble, I'll guarantee that you'll stay alive."

Having said that, there was nothing they could do. Though they were unwilling, they had no choice but to lead the way, their expressions filled with discomfort.

They were forced into this position, with no room for negotiation.

With their guidance, Gu Lan passed through the formation with ease.

Though their hand gestures were quick, Gu Lan had still caught every movement in his eyes.

At this moment, Gu Lan had changed into a different form, his demonic aura reduced significantly.

They had entered a vast and secretive domain, filled with towering buildings of all kinds.

In the distance, a golden palace caught his attention.

If his guess was correct, that palace was where the leader of the Upper God Clan resided.

"Where are your treasures?"

Gu Lan wasn't interested in anything else. He had come here specifically for those treasures, so he naturally had to find out about their whereabouts first.

The three men were extremely displeased but didn't dare to persist for too long.

They were very aware that their lives were currently in Gu Lan's hands.

"That's where the treasures of our Upper God Clan are stored. However, there are hundreds of strong clan members guarding it, and you won't be able to get close," one of them explained confidently.

They were certain of this; no matter how strong Gu Lan was, it would be impossible for him to take on so many at once.

But they had ultimately underestimated Gu Lan's strength. What they had seen was merely the tip of the iceberg.

Gu Lan's true power was far beyond what they could imagine. If he dared to come here, he certainly had enough means.

As soon as they finished speaking, Gu Lan smiled lightly and said,

"Since that's the case, I'll trouble you all to lead the way."

At these words, the three of them froze, their gazes involuntarily shifting toward him.

"No, I don't have the authority to go there. If any strong clan members find out, we'll be punished," one of them replied hastily.

They could agree to many things, but this was something they truly didn't dare to do.

Seeing their reluctance, Gu Lan sighed in exasperation.

A golden light surged in his hand, and before the three could react, they felt a sharp pain emanating from within their bodies.

"Do you think I'm negotiating with you? I can't guarantee you'll make it out of here alive," he said coldly.

The pain was unbearable, and the expressions of the three men turned ashen.

Under his coercion, they couldn't hold out any longer and nodded quickly.

"We'll take you there!"

They had no choice now. Going there would mean punishment, but refusing meant certain death at Gu Lan's hands.

Seeing them relent, Gu Lan smiled faintly and withdrew his power.

"You should have agreed sooner. No need to waste my time," he said with a hint of annoyance.

Not bothering with them anymore, he began walking forward.

The three men quickly followed suit, knowing better than to resist.

Under their guidance, Gu Lan soon arrived at the golden, resplendent palace.

The spiritual energy in this place was dense, far beyond anything the outside world could compare to.

Before even getting close, Gu Lan could sense the aura of many treasures.

Feeling these energies, his heart surged with joy, and an excited smile spread across his face.

With these treasures, he would be able to fulfill the promises he had made to Gu Simo and the disciples.

Gu Lan didn't plan to let the three men follow him further. After all, there were dangers ahead, and having them along would only complicate matters.

"You may leave now. But if you dare to speak of this, I'll make sure you don't live to see another day," he threatened, using their lives as leverage.

The three men understood quickly and nodded in agreement, then retreated without hesitation.

They didn't want to stay too long either. If they were noticed, escaping would be far more difficult.

Once they had left, Gu Lan cautiously proceeded toward the palace.

However, after only a few steps, he overheard a whispered conversation.

In the shadows, it would be difficult for anyone to detect him, but these men were oblivious to his presence.

"I heard we're going to make a move on the Lanyan Royal School. Wonder if it'll work out."

"Don't worry, this time the Young Master will personally take action!"

"The Young Master is going personally?"

The last sentence was filled with shock, and Gu Lan couldn't help but feel helpless.

What was going through their heads? How had they singled him out? He hadn't done anything particularly outstanding to attract their attention.

"I heard the Lanyan Royal School killed one of the Young Master's subordinates, so that's why the Young Master is coming in person!"

"What does it matter to us? We don't have to go."

…

The two of them continued their conversation, completely oblivious to any changes around them.

Meanwhile, Gu Lan had already entered the palace. Inside the golden, resplendent hall were numerous treasures, causing a satisfied smile to appear on his face.

However, just as he was about to make his move, two burly figures suddenly emerged from the distance.

The auras of these two men were terrifying, and they showed no intention of concealing their power.

Gu Lan's reaction was swift. He immediately turned and slipped into the shadows.

It wasn't that he feared these two men—it was simply that too much noise would draw unwanted attention.

But the two men didn't move at all. Instead, they stood their ground, several dozen paces away.

"There's someone here!" one of them suddenly said, his voice booming through the hall.
