My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty
Chapter 798 - 798: The Upper Three Clans Appear

Upon hearing these words, Gu Lan's expression shifted slightly, though not significantly. However, before Gu Lan could respond, Changsheng had already turned and left, disappearing in an instant.

Watching his retreating figure, Gu Lan's expression grew even colder. Although he couldn't be sure if Changsheng's words were true, it was evident to Gu Lan that the man was intentionally hiding something from him.

Gu Lan didn't dwell on it, nor did he pay it much attention. The Heavenly Dao Seed was in his hands, and it wouldn't be easy for anyone to control it. As for the Reincarnate Clan, their relationship with him was purely cooperative. He had provided them with power, but whether they could control it was their problem, not his.

The Reincarnate Clan had also been of great help, aiding him in the defeat of the Bright Clan. Once Changsheng left, Gu Lan immediately began to channel his energy without hesitation. Though he hadn't suffered any severe injuries from his battle with Divine Son Arthur, he had expended considerable energy. With the current threat resolved, it was time for him to recover and continue his own progress without delay!

Gu Lan's true qi surged with terrifying intensity, filling the entire palace.

---

In a dimly lit starry sky, a figure floated aimlessly through the void. This was none other than Arthur, still gravely injured from the battle!

"I've slept long enough; it's time to wake up!"

As Arthur lay unconscious, a distant, ethereal voice reached his ears. Responding to the call of this force, Arthur slowly opened his eyes. His consciousness was barely awake, and his body was no longer under his control.

"Who?"

He shouted with all his strength, but as soon as he tried to move his neck, pain shot through his body, making it impossible to resist.

"Now that you're like this, what do you think you can do?"

The cold voice came from behind him, followed by a powerful aura that enveloped him completely.

The figure walking toward him was clad in golden armor, and the pressure of his qi was overwhelming. Arthur instinctively felt a sense of trepidation. However, to his surprise, this energy gradually healed his injuries.

After several moments, he began to regain some sensation in his limbs.

Struggling to stand, Arthur's face darkened, and a tinge of unease flashed in his eyes. He could tell that this person didn't harbor ill intentions toward him. However, he was also curious about the man's identity.

The person glanced at him coldly before speaking.

"Why are you helping me?"

The mysterious figure remained silent for a moment, a deep and knowing smile forming on his face.

"You'll find out soon enough. There will be a chance for you to understand."

Arthur, completely confused, tried to comprehend the situation. This person had saved him but wasn't willing to explain why.

Before Arthur could ask another question, the man raised a finger and pointed at his forehead. With the infusion of powerful qi, Arthur's expression gradually grew heavy.

"How do you possess such great power?"

"This is none of your concern. Come with me."

The man responded with a mocking laugh, his words carrying an air of finality. Arthur's face was solemn, and wariness filled his eyes. However, despite his usual arrogance, he now followed the man without hesitation, his former pride seemingly subdued.

Without a word, he trailed behind the mysterious figure.

Meanwhile, Gu Lan's energy was rapidly recovering. As he opened his eyes, he was met by Zhongren, who stood solemnly in front of him.

"My Lord, someone has sent this."

Zhongren spoke respectfully as he handed over a token, both of his hands holding it with care.

Upon seeing the token, Gu Lan was momentarily taken aback. There was a single word, "Lava", inscribed on it, but Gu Lan didn't recognize its origin.

"What is this?"

Gu Lan asked coolly, his eyes narrowing as he inspected the object.

Zhongren, not daring to be careless, immediately explained.

"This is from the Lava Clan of the Upper Three Clans from the Immortal Realm."

"Upper Three Clans?"

Gu Lan repeated, his brow furrowing in confusion. He had never heard of such a group, and their intentions in sending this token were unclear to him.

"What do they mean by this?"

"They wish to form an alliance with Lanyan Royal School, which now possesses immense Destiny," Zhongren replied, his voice growing colder with each word.

Though Zhongren didn't explicitly state it, Gu Lan quickly understood his meaning.

"They're not seeking an alliance; they want us to submit," Gu Lan replied coldly, his eyes glinting with disdain.

He could see through their intentions. The Immortal Realm's inhabitants were accustomed to looking down on everyone else, and it was only natural that they would covet the Destiny of the Human Clan. Now that he had won the Competition of Myriads of Clans, they must have been jealous.

Zhongren, understanding Gu Lan's thoughts, remained silent. But he was troubled and didn't know how to respond to such a request.

"My Lord, what should we do?" Zhongren asked, his voice tinged with hesitation.

Gu Lan's response was calm and direct.

"Tell them that I will return to the mortal realm with Lanyan Royal School. The Immortal Realm will no longer be my concern."

With a simple wave of his hand, Gu Lan dismissed Zhongren. The latter bowed and left, carrying out the task as ordered.

Over the following days, several other forces also extended olive branches to Gu Lan, attempting to forge alliances. On the surface, they claimed to seek a peaceful partnership, but the underlying message was clear: they wanted to control the Destiny of Lanyan Royal School.

The most notable of these forces was the Upper Three Clans, which included the Xuanyuan Clan, Wizard Clan, and Lava Clan.

Despite the numerous offers, Gu Lan did not respond, which only fueled the anger of these Immortal Realm powers.

In the starry domain of the Xuanyuan Clan, the Xuanyuan Divine Realm, hundreds of massive palaces stood. Within one of these palaces, a young man, holding a sharp sword, slammed it forcefully into the ground.

"Gu Lan truly is ungrateful! We, the Xuanyuan Clan, are one of the Upper Three Clans, and yet he dares to reject us!" the young man fumed.

"Young Lord, please calm your anger. The Elders have already made arrangements for this matter," someone below him said, attempting to calm him down.

The young man, handsome and exuding a powerful aura, stared coldly at the speaker. He could feel the anger rising within him.

"Then I will go see for myself!"

The Xuanyuan Clan was located far from Lanyan Royal School, and the journey would take many days. However, no one could stop the young lord. He stormed out, and those around him hastily followed.

Meanwhile, back at Lanyan Royal School, after several days of recovery, all of Gu Lan's allies had regained their strength. Gu Lan gathered them all in the main hall, where their faces reflected confusion and curiosity.

"Cough... cough!" Gu Lan coughed lightly to draw their attention. "I've gathered you here for a single purpose."

"Please, my Lord, give your orders!"

Ding True Man and the others immediately bowed respectfully, awaiting Gu Lan's instructions.

"The Competition of Myriads of Clans is over. It's time for us to return," Gu Lan said.

"All will follow your orders, my Lord!"

With a wave of his hand, Gu Lan's command was issued. The members of Lanyan Royal School rose to their feet, ready for the next phase.

Under Gu Lan's leadership, their departure was swift, leaving no room for hesitation.

---

Several moments later, the Lanyan Royal School was no more, its presence erased, leaving only the lingering traces of true qi. When the Xuanyuan Clan finally arrived, there was nothing left.

Staring at the empty space, the Xuanyuan Clan's young lord darkened, his eyes burning with fury.

"They really did run fast!"
