My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty
Chapter 797 - 797: The Complete Defeat of the Bright Clan

Upon hearing Gu Lan's cold voice, the Reincarnate Clan warriors immediately redirected their energy. In an instant, the true qi in the sky became terrifyingly intense.

The warriors from the Reincarnate Clan had cold expressions, their eyes filled with murderous intent. Upon sensing the aura they were emitting, Arthur's previously dim expression became more cautious.

If it had been just Gu Lan and the Blood Clan members, Arthur would have dismissed them without hesitation. However, the appearance of the Reincarnate Clan had changed the situation. With their arrival, this battle was no longer guaranteed to be a victory for him.

"The esteemed Reincarnate Clan, serving Gu Lan as their subordinate? How shameful!" Arthur sneered as he adjusted his aura, preparing to make his move.

But just as he was about to retreat, the warriors from the Reincarnate Clan moved first.

Arthur had already expended some energy, and he was immediately met with a barrage of attacks. The incoming strikes were too much for him to defend against.

In the blink of an eye, he was surrounded by four or five of the Reincarnate Clan warriors.

Under the pressure of this assault, Arthur could only retreat in a disarrayed manner.

Just as the Reincarnate Clan warriors detained him, Gu Lan, with a cold expression, advanced with his sword raised.

"You," he said, his voice sharp. "Go deal with that group of Golden Armour Guards!"

Earlier, they had fought the Golden Armour Guards and had not been at a disadvantage, even when facing over a hundred of them. Now, with only fifty or so Golden Armour Guards remaining, it would be easy to handle them.

The Reincarnate Clan warriors, though not strictly under Gu Lan's command, had received instructions from their leader before coming here: they were to follow Gu Lan's orders. So, without hesitation, they launched themselves at the Golden Armour Guards.

Though they couldn't defeat the Golden Armour Guards in such a short time, they could at least stall them.

Arthur's face turned ugly as an uncontainable killing intent radiated from his eyes. In that very moment, Gu Lan had reached him with sword raised.

Gu Lan had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, and his strike was merciless.

Before Arthur could even react, dozens of sword lights shot toward his face.

The speed of Gu Lan's strike was too quick for Arthur to defend against.

With an explosive sound, Arthur was sent flying back, hundreds of feet, before he could even make a move.

He quickly regained his balance in mid-air, but his face was ghastly pale, filled with darkness and rage.

He was about to retaliate when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his shoulder.

Turning to look, he saw a deep sword wound across his arm.

Blood began to spill, and half of his body was quickly drenched in it.

"You!" Arthur snarled, a vicious look appearing on his face. His aura surged, completely unleashed.

Seeing this, Gu Lan's face remained indifferent, and a blood-red glow appeared on his Hongmeng Sword.

"Come on, it's time to settle this!"

His voice was cold, and he surged forward with his sword raised.

With a single strike, the entire sky was instantly filled with blood-red sword shadows.

Arthur's power was no match for Gu Lan's attack, and he couldn't defend against it at all.

With a tearing sound that seemed to cut through the heavens, Arthur's body was engulfed by the sword light.

Under the force of this sword, Arthur had no means of defending himself.

Moreover, the aura around his body shattered into nothingness.

...

A few moments later, the sky fell silent again.

Gu Lan searched for Arthur's figure, but couldn't find him.

His expression grew puzzled, and the killing intent in his eyes had not yet faded.

His powerful strike had not only failed to kill Arthur, but the man had also managed to escape!

Gu Lan didn't chase after him. He could tell that there was likely someone powerful helping Arthur behind the scenes.

He hadn't sensed any of their presence, so it would be too risky to pursue.

Meanwhile, with the help of the Reincarnate Clan, the Golden Armour Guards had been systematically defeated.

Dozens had been slain, and the rest had been severely wounded.

Now, faced with such circumstances, the remaining Golden Armour Guards didn't dare to continue fighting and had retreated, standing warily at a distance.

The Reincarnate Clan warriors didn't move to kill them immediately but showed no intention of letting them go.

They wanted to eliminate these enemies, but they needed Gu Lan's approval first.

Gu Lan ignored Arthur and instead turned his gaze toward the distant Golden Armour Guards. As soon as his eyes fell on them, the killing intent in his gaze was fully revealed.

Upon noticing Gu Lan's cold, murderous stare, the Golden Armour Guards were frightened. They hesitated and took a few steps back.

In Gu Lan's eyes, they could feel an overwhelming aura of death.

"Kill them all, not a single one left alive!" Gu Lan's cold command rang out.

At his orders, the Reincarnate Clan warriors surged forward.

Their speed was astonishing, and their power surged as they neared the Golden Armour Guards.

"Zi... Zi..."

The sound of ripping flesh filled the air as countless blood-red lights rained down.

By the time their power dissipated, all that remained of the Bright Clan's Golden Armour Guards was their lifeless bodies, devoid of any aura.

The sky above was filled with blood mist, and the air was thick with the stench of blood.

"Thank you all for your hard work!" Gu Lan's voice rang out as he descended from the sky.

While not all of the Bright Clan warriors were killed, a portion had managed to escape. However, they were severely injured and would be unable to stir up any more trouble.

Those who had been engaged in battle with Zhongren and the others also escaped swiftly. With Arthur already fleeing in disgrace, they saw no reason to stay behind and risk their lives.

Zhongren and the others, having expended a considerable amount of energy, saw Gu Lan returning and followed him back to the palace.

Once inside, Gu Lan waved his hand, and several hundred items appeared in front of them.

Seeing these treasures, Zhongren and the others froze, their faces filled with confusion.

"My Lord, what is all this?" Zhongren asked, unable to contain his curiosity.

Gu Lan, with an unperturbed expression, responded calmly, "Today, you have all expended much energy. These items will help you recover."

They had intended to refuse, but before they could speak, Gu Lan had already handed them the items.

Not allowing them a chance to protest, they found the treasures slipping into their hands.

Seeing that Gu Lan was insistent, Zhongren and the others no longer rejected the offer.

They took the items with gratitude and bowed respectfully to him.

"Thank you, my Lord!"

They didn't linger and quickly withdrew after receiving the treasures.

Before long, the palace was left empty, with only Gu Lan remaining.

At that moment, the leader of the Reincarnate Clan, Changsheng, entered the room. He first gave a respectful bow before his expression grew serious.

"Master Gu, the news from my clan indicates that Arthur has not died!"

His face was as cold as ice, and there was a hint of dark foreboding in his eyes.

Hearing this, Gu Lan coldly nodded.

He had already suspected this outcome when his strike failed to find Arthur's corpse. It was clear that someone had saved him, otherwise, he would have perished!

"Does Master Gu have a plan?" Changsheng asked, looking for Gu Lan's next move.

With the Competition of Myriads of Clans now completely finished, he wanted to know Gu Lan's intentions.

"The matter with the Lanyan Royal School is no longer something the Reincarnate Clan need to concern themselves with," Gu Lan responded.

At this, Changsheng understood that he had overstepped. He immediately swallowed his words.

"It was my mistake. Please forgive me, Master Gu!" He gave another respectful bow before preparing to leave.

However, just as he stepped forward, Gu Lan raised his hand, stopping him.

"I'm curious," Gu Lan began, "Do you have control over the Heavenly Dao Seed's power?"

Upon hearing Gu Lan's question, Changsheng let out a bitter laugh and shook his head.

"The power of that force is not so easily controlled. We failed in our attempt to master it."
