My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty
Chapter 755 - 755: Unworthy of Living

Gu Lan's voice was gentle, and as he spoke, he continued to gently comb through Mu Yuyan's disheveled hair.

Hearing his words, Mu Yuyan only gave a faint smile. "Don't worry, I have my own judgment."

Since the last time she escaped danger, Mu Yuyan had not stepped out of the Lanyan Royal School. That battle had taught her a great deal, and she did not want to burden Gu Lan further with her troubles. Though she didn't voice it, Gu Lan could see through her thoughts.

Just as Gu Lan was about to speak, Mu Yuyan flashed a smile and casually changed the topic.

"I heard you've acquired a lot of treasures. Lately, I've been in need of some. Why don't you give me a few?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Lan smiled faintly. With a wave of his hand, over a thousand treasures appeared.

Gu Lan was never stingy with his people, and these treasures were items he had obtained from the Upper God Clan.

Seeing these treasures, Mu Yuyan was momentarily stunned. Gu Lan hadn't had so many treasures before, but now he had acquired over a thousand items. From her instincts, she knew that he hadn't revealed all of them yet.

And she was right—Gu Lan only brought out the treasures that she could use. The ones that weren't of a high enough grade or that she wouldn't be able to use were left behind.

Mu Yuyan was completely captivated by what was before her, and after a short while, she had gathered dozens of items in her hands. At this point, she stopped. Anything left was of no use to her.

"Thank you, I'll repay you when I have the chance!"

As she spoke, Gu Lan smiled faintly and shook his head. "There's no need for such formalities between us."

Before Mu Yuyan could say anything further, Gu Lan quickly moved forward and pulled her into his embrace.

Mu Yuyan was caught off guard by his sudden action, and her face immediately turned red. "Y-You... what are you doing?"

She stammered, but before she could finish speaking, Gu Lan smiled and said, "You wanted to improve, didn't you? Let me help."

Before she could react, Gu Lan swept her up from the ground and began walking towards the deeper chambers of the palace.

Meanwhile, inside the Upper God Clan, Shanggu Yan had arrived at the empty palace. As he looked at the treasure vault that had been ransacked, his eyes immediately burned with fury.

"A bunch of useless fools! Over a hundred people couldn't even stop one person!"

The subordinates kneeling behind him didn't dare say a word. Their expressions were as dark as night.

The two men who had been spared by Gu Lan were the most nervous. Their foreheads were drenched in cold sweat, and their faces were pale with fear.

As they were at a loss for what to do, Shanggu Yan turned and coldly faced them.

"You two were stationed here. You should know what happened, right?"

His voice was icy, carrying a terrifying murderous intent. Just one glance was enough to paralyze the two men with fear, unable to speak.

Seeing that they remained silent, Shanggu Yan's expression darkened further. "I don't have time to waste with you. What happened? Speak!"

With a cold tone, he took a step forward, grabbed one of the men by the throat, and lifted him off the ground.

"Young Lord, after you left, an uninvited guest arrived. His strength is overwhelming, and we were no match for him!"

The man thought that his words would calm the situation, but as soon as he finished speaking, Shanggu Yan tightened his grip.

With a sickening crack, the man was immediately silenced, his body going limp.

The other man, panic-stricken, didn't even dare to lift his head. Beads of sweat trickled down his face.

"Please, Young Lord, spare me! I'll go and retrieve everything that was lost!"

He knew that if he didn't say something, his fate would be sealed. If he could get rid of the Young Lord's anger, there might still be a chance for survival.

Before his words had fully left his mouth, Shanggu Yan's cold voice cut him off.

"Do you think I need you now?"

After failing once, Shanggu Yan would never give this man a second chance, nor would he allow him to live.

The man, now fully aware of his grim fate, cautiously raised his head, but before he could speak, a sword light pierced through his forehead, ending his life on the spot.

Without a second glance at the lifeless body, Shanggu Yan turned his gaze toward the rest of his subordinates.

"Summon all the strong warriors from the clan. I will make him pay!"

As the Young Lord of the Upper God Clan, Shanggu Yan had the right to command the clan's forces. His position was second only to that of the clan leader, and no one dared to question his authority.

The subordinates kneeling before him, all aware of his anger, quickly retreated without a word. They knew that if anyone dared to speak out of turn, they would be signing their own death warrants.

In a mere few breaths, Shanggu Yan had gathered hundreds of powerful warriors. With a cold expression, he looked toward the void above, a murderous gleam flashing in his eyes.

These warriors were among the Upper God Clan's finest, and he was determined to make Gu Lan pay for what had happened.

"Come with me to the Lanyan Royal School. I will personally kill him today!"

As his chilling voice rang out, his aura surged.

"We will follow Young Lord wherever you go!"

Shanggu Yan gave a cold nod, then leapt into the air. His followers quickly summoned their own power and followed him closely.

This display of power was so grand that it drew the attention of other clans.

Within the Blood Clan, Xue Lengyan watched the scene unfold, a cold light flashing in her eyes.

"The Upper God Clan is making such a big move!"

Xue Lengyan was surprised, and her expression shifted slightly. From what she knew, the Upper God Clan rarely took such aggressive actions. What had prompted them to behave this way today?

After some thought, Xue Lengyan's expression darkened, and she released her aura.

She couldn't afford to wait any longer; she needed to see what these people were up to. If they were targeting the Blood Clan, she would need to prepare.

She appeared above the void, her face grim. She didn't make any rash moves but instead concealed her aura.

Although she had brought powerful warriors from her clan, she knew these Upper God Clan people weren't easy to deal with. Especially the Young Lord—he wasn't one to take things lightly. He had a reputation for being vengeful and unforgiving.

Before she left, her elders had specifically warned her not to provoke the Upper God Clan unless absolutely necessary.

As she watched the Upper God Clan's figures grow distant, Xue Lengyan was taken aback. They were heading straight for the Lanyan Royal School.

"They really have no fear!"

Had they gone to another place, Xue Lengyan would have felt sympathy for those people. But heading for the Lanyan Royal School was tantamount to courting death!

Gu Lan's strength was far beyond what they had seen, and he truly didn't fear death!

A cold smile appeared on Xue Lengyan's face. She decided not to hesitate any longer and quickly followed after them.

"Let's go see for ourselves!"

She wasn't here to help the Upper God Clan. Rather, she was eager to witness how they would retreat in disgrace.

Shanggu Yan led his powerful group swiftly, and in no time, they reached the skies above the Royal School. Looking down, his eyes flared with killing intent, and his roar echoed across the heavens.

"Gu Lan, get out here! Today, I will make you pay for your actions!"

"Coming again with such arrogance! This guy must have a death wish!"
