My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty
Chapter 793 - 793: Bright Clan Declares War

Upon hearing Gu Lan's words, Gu Simu's face showed confusion.

The Reincarnate Clan had been rather well-behaved lately, and hadn't done anything out of the ordinary. They had been focusing on cultivation; why should she keep an eye on them?

Gu Simu was puzzled, but before she could ask, Gu Lan gave a calm nod and did not elaborate further. His meaning was clear, even if his words were few.

Gu Simu did not question it any further. Since it was Gu Lan's decision, she would go along with it. She put away the Linglong Pagoda and turned to leave.

Watching her leave, Gu Lan's expression turned slightly serious. The Reincarnate Clan was an uncertain factor. He hoped they would not harbor any ill intentions.

He had his own reasons for keeping Gu Simu at the Royal School. This battle with the Bright Clan was sure to be bloody, and it was far too dangerous for Gu Simu to follow him into the fray. Despite her strength, she was still his daughter, and he didn't want to see her in harm's way.

After arranging things within the Royal School, Gu Lan gathered his energy. The Hongmeng Sword appeared in his hand, its aura spreading out as he leaped into the air.

Gu Lan's speed was astonishing, and in a flash, he was several thousand feet away.

Zhongren and the others had already activated the formation, and their full power was being unleashed.

Seeing Gu Lan approach, they all bowed respectfully.

"Greetings, my Lord!"

Gu Lan nodded indifferently and then spoke with a solemn tone.

"This will be a battle to the death. You must all be prepared."

"Master, rest assured, we will not fail you!"

Ding True Man's face was serious, and just as his words finished, Gu Lan raised his hand, causing the treasure furnace to appear before them.

Although it was Gu Lan's possession, Ding True Man knew that it had already been claimed by Gu Lan.

Seeing the puzzled look on Ding True Man's face, Gu Lan spoke slowly.

"This will be no small matter. I'll temporarily leave it with you."

Though he said this, it was clear that Gu Lan had no intention of reclaiming the furnace.

Ding True Man had been by Gu Lan's side for some time, and over the course of their time together, he had proven his loyalty.

Upon hearing Gu Lan's words, Ding True Man's face lit up with joy. He bowed to Gu Lan and took the furnace into his hands, infusing his true energy into it.

As his energy entered the furnace, golden light flashed on its surface.

Gu Lan said no more, his gaze fixed on the horizon.

A few breaths later, hundreds of figures appeared in the distance.

These figures were the Bright Clan's Golden Armour Guards, and among them stood Arthur.

Arthur was dressed in golden armor, holding a golden sword.

His gaze locked onto Gu Lan from afar, and seeing the expression on Gu Lan's face, Arthur sneered in disdain.

Stopping a hundred feet away, Arthur's true energy surged out.

"Gu Lan, you don't think these few people can stop me, do you?"

The people around Gu Lan were strong, but Arthur knew that facing his Golden Armour Guards, they were no match.

He shot a cold glance at them, and the sound of a sword being unsheathed echoed.

"Enough with the talk. If you want to fight, then hurry up!"

With Gu Lan's cold command, the Qimen Dunjia was activated.

Lin Lu and Lin Tan'er both gripped their twin swords and advanced. Though their cultivation was the weakest, their aura was no less fierce.

With a swing of their swords, over a thousand golden sword shadows appeared.

Zhongren continued to form hand seals, and from the void above, hundreds of sword beams descended.

"Qimen Dunjia, go!"

The cold voice rang out, and the world trembled as the sky darkened.

But Arthur was utterly dismissive.

"Is this it?"

With a sneer, he swung his sword, and dozens of his men stepped forward.

The Golden Armour Guards acted in unison, holding their positions and unsheathing their swords in perfect harmony.

The sound of tearing filled the air, followed by a deafening explosion.

"Boom!"

The explosion shattered the sky, and hundreds of golden lights erupted into a dazzling burst.

The powerful spiritual energy radiated outward, and Zhongren was sent flying back a thousand feet.

It wasn't just Zhongren; Lin Lu and Lin Tan'er were also affected.

The sword shadows were disrupted before they could reach their target.

The three of them looked forward, their faces darkened.

Gu Lan remained expressionless, his demeanor as cold as ever.

If Arthur didn't have some skill, he wouldn't be acting so arrogantly.

"Again!"

Gu Lan's command rang out, and Zhongren's face darkened as he moved forward once more.

His hands moved swiftly, and Qimen Dunjia was unleashed again, this time with even more terrifying power than before.

Lin Tan'er and Lin Lu, seeing this, infused their true energy into their twin swords.

Arthur's face was filled with disdain as he gave his final order.

"You three, kill these people!"

He wasn't going to let anyone live. Not only did he want to kill these individuals, but he also wanted Gu Lan to pay for the humiliation he had suffered at his hands.

As Arthur arrogantly looked on, Ding True Man could no longer hold back his rage.

His eyes glowed with cold light, and his true energy surged as he charged forward.

But just as he was about to strike, an elderly man in white robes appeared in his path.

This man's energy was similar to Ding True Man's, though it seemed to suppress him slightly.

"You think you can go up against our Divine Son? I've already shown you enough respect!"

The words of the man in white immediately enraged Ding True Man.

His eyes flashed with killing intent.

"Seeking death!"

With a cold shout, Ding True Man launched himself forward.

His true energy wrapped around his fist, and he punched with such force that the surrounding space shattered.

This was Ding True Man's full strength, but to his surprise, the man in white easily dodged the attack.

"Is this all you've got?"

The man sneered, mocking Ding True Man.

Furious, Ding True Man launched another attack.

"Then let's see how you handle this!"

True energy poured into the furnace, and golden light surged from it.

"Path of Gold, World-Ending Golden Wheel!"

With an angry shout, the world trembled as countless golden wheel projections appeared around him.

Ding True Man knew this attack would be ineffective against Gu Lan, but it was more than enough to overwhelm anyone else.

He controlled three layers of the Rule and had mastery over space!

The man in white still wore a disdainful expression.

But just as he was about to boast, Ding True Man raised his hand and struck.

Suddenly, the space around them warped, and the golden wheels vanished.

The power seemed to disappear, but in reality, it had entered the folds of space, not dissipated.

The man in white felt the surrounding space tearing apart.

His expression changed slightly, and his energy surged to its peak.

"Not bad, I underestimated you!"

He summoned a seven-foot-long sword and, just as the golden wheels were about to strike, he raised his hand and unleashed a hundred swords.

"Boom... Boom..."

Explosions rang out, and they were sucked into a black hole.

---

Watching the intense battle from afar, Gu Lan's face remained indifferent, his gaze fixed on Arthur.

"Since you've made your move, don't think you can just stand by!"

"That's exactly what I intended!"
