My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty
Chapter 806 - 806: A Countermeasure

Just a few words, and Mu Yuyan instantly understood.

She had been with Gu Lan for many years, and there were very few people whose strength could make Gu Lan acknowledge them.

Without saying a word, Mu Yuyan watched as Gu Lan retracted his aura completely.

Although there was a formation in the secret place, he still left behind some of his power.

This was to ensure that everything would go smoothly, as the Xuanyuan Clan's methods were not weak.

"Stay here and focus on your cultivation for the next few days. Once the trouble outside is dealt with, I'll come back and take you out!"

After saying this, Gu Lan turned to leave.

But before he could take two steps, Mu Yuyan stepped forward and embraced him.

"Wait!"

Her voice was soft, tinged with concern.

Gu Lan, retracting the foot he had lifted, turned back to face her.

A faint smile appeared on his face.

"Don't worry. No one has the ability to hurt me yet."

As he spoke, Gu Lan gently wrapped his arms around Mu Yuyan.

"I know you're worried about me, but you must also take care of yourself. If you die, I will follow you..."

Before she could finish, Gu Lan silenced her.

"Don't worry. For you, I must live well!"

With a smile, Gu Lan swept her up in his arms and carried her deeper into the secret place.

Mu Yuyan's cheeks flushed slightly.

"What are you doing?"

She leaned her head against his chest, feeling a bit shy, while Gu Lan gave a playful smile.

"You're still recovering from your power loss, aren't you?"

Meanwhile, within the Blood Clan, Xue Lengyan had received the news.

As soon as the words of her subordinates fell, Xue Lengyan's expression darkened significantly.

"So it's true."

"Absolutely, the Xuanyuan Clan's move is quite bold. They've even sent the Shadow Guardians!"

"Even those guys?"

Xue Lengyan muttered to herself, a trace of murderous intent flashing in her eyes.

She had expected the Xuanyuan Clan to send regular strong warriors, but to her surprise, they had sent the Shadow Guardians right away.

The Xuanyuan Clan had only thirty Shadow Guardians in total, and ten of them had been sent this time. This was far beyond her expectations.

The Shadow Guardians were as mysterious as their name suggested.

Not only were they incredibly powerful, but once they set their sights on someone, they would stop at nothing to finish the job.

As Xue Lengyan thought about this, one of her subordinates solemnly asked,

"Clan Leader, now that the situation has escalated, should the Blood Clan still get involved?"

Many of her subordinates were reluctant. After all, the price of participating would be high.

The Blood Clan had just started to regain some strength, and if they fought the Xuanyuan Clan, all their previous efforts could be wasted.

In their eyes, fighting for a mere Gu Lan wasn't worth it.

But Xue Lengyan saw things differently. The previous Blood Master never joked about risking the entire clan.

"Select a hundred Dao soldiers. We're heading to the Human World!"

Her words were decisive, and the strong warriors in the hall immediately became solemn.

But there was no room for discussion—Xue Lengyan had made up her mind.

Without further words, they all bowed respectfully and moved quickly.

Within moments, a hundred blood-armored Dao soldiers assembled in the hall.

Their auras were strong and intimidating.

"Greetings, Clan Leader!"

They knelt in unison, their voices like thunder, shaking the hall.

As they spoke, Xue Lengyan's power was fully unleashed, her aura pressing down on everyone around her.

"You all, come with me to the Human World!"

Without hesitation, Xue Lengyan leapt into the air, her figure vanishing into the void, followed by the hundred Dao soldiers.

In the Jing Nation Imperial Palace, only Gu Lan remained at this moment.

The sky was slowly darkening, and a cold smile spread across Gu Lan's face as he suppressed his aura completely.

Gu Simu and Mu Yuyan's clones had also appeared at this time.

Since they intended to set a trap, they had to make thorough preparations.

Although these were just clones, their strength was nearly identical to the originals, and their auras were indistinguishable as well.

With a cold smirk, Gu Lan watched as the two clones appeared and then stepped into the shadows.

Everything within the palace was under his observation. He had initially assumed that the Xuanyuan Clan wouldn't act too hastily.

But to his surprise, only a short time after stopping, two or three shadowy figures flashed within the palace.

These individuals moved at incredible speeds, their bodies enveloped in a layer of black energy.

Even Gu Lan could only sense a slight aura from them, and this caught him off guard.

It seemed they were well-prepared. His face darkened as he drew the Hongmeng Sword.

However, he didn't rush to attack. Instead, he sent the two clones forward to test their strength.

He needed to gauge their power and figure out their true intentions.

"Sizzle..."

As the figures neared, Gu Lan sent one of his clones forward to strike with his sword.

The power wasn't overwhelming, but it was enough to halt them in their tracks.

"To think you could detect us... interesting!"

A disdainful voice rang out, and the ten Shadow Guardians quickly mobilized their auras.

Gu Lan couldn't even make out their figures; one of them approached and with a single strike pierced the shoulder of Gu Simu's clone.

Immediately, dozens of sword lights followed, and the two clones had no time to defend themselves.

Within moments, their bodies were drenched in blood.

Seeing this, Gu Lan's brows furrowed.

Fortunately, Gu Simu and Mu Yuyan weren't present, or this would have been a huge problem!

The ten Shadow Guardians didn't deal the final blow, instead stepping back a few paces.

Their power was slightly retracted, but their expressions were full of arrogance.

"I thought they'd be stronger, but they're so weak!"

"One of us could have handled it, no need for all ten of us!"

"Enough talking. Let's take them and go!"

At the urging of one of the Guardians, they stepped forward and captured the two clones.

Once they had left, Gu Lan emerged from the shadows.

His gaze turned cold, and a murderous intent filled his eyes.

Since they wanted to lure him in, he wouldn't make it easy for them.

Following their footsteps, he quickly arrived at a dimly lit void.

The ten Shadow Guardians had stopped, and the Second Elder stood at the forefront, his face wearing a cold smile.

Seeing the success of the capture, the Second Elder gave a sneer and waved his hand.

Two golden energy cages descended from the sky, trapping the clones.

"Let this news spread. Let Gu Lan come here and see!"

The Second Elder's words had barely left his mouth when a surge of violent true qi gathered from a distance.

"No need. I've already arrived!"

A cold voice echoed through the air, and Gu Lan descended from the sky.

With the Hongmeng Sword in hand, his expression was icy cold.

At a glance, his true qi surged, unrestrained and overwhelming.

Seeing him, the Second Elder and the ten Shadow Guardians all sneered.

"You came quickly, but you've made a mistake!"

The Second Elder sneered, his sword now pressed against the clone's brow.

"Kneel down, or I'll kill her!"

He had investigated carefully and knew that the two clones were Gu Lan's weaknesses, his soft spots.

If he could control them, capturing Gu Lan would be easy.

"I suggest you let her go, or you'll die!"

Though he couldn't kill all ten Shadow Guardians, Gu Lan was absolutely confident in taking down the Second Elder.
