My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty
Chapter 819 - 819: Absolutely No Trouble Left Behind

Listening to the discussions around him, Gu Lan remained silent, but his mind was already working.

After a few moments, Gu Lan slowly stood up, his internal energy already being mobilized.

"Blood Clan Master, I need you to accompany me to the Xuanyuan Clan!" Gu Lan suddenly said, leaving Xue Lengyan confused, her eyes filled with unease.

"You must think this through," she cautioned, noticing the tension in his demeanor.

Seeing her worried expression, Gu Lan gave a meaningful smile. "Don't worry, I'm not going to declare war on them."

Though angered, Gu Lan wasn't foolish enough to think he could take on the entire Xuanyuan Clan alone. He had other plans for this visit.

His expression, though subtle, didn't escape Xue Lengyan's sharp eyes. Xue Lengyan wanted to ask more but didn't press further. She nodded seriously instead.

Gu Lan had already made up his mind, so she trusted his judgment.

As Gu Lan was about to leave, Gu Simu stepped forward. "Father, I will go with you!"

Gu Simu's face was determined, his internal energy also gathering. But Gu Lan declined with a light smile.

"I may be gone for several days, and you need to stay here and guard this place," he said, concern for Gu Simu and Mu Yuyan's safety evident in his voice.

Gu Simu still wanted to argue, but Mu Yuyan pulled him back. "Listen to your father, child."

Although unsure of Gu Lan's intentions, Mu Yuyan trusted him implicitly. Reluctantly, Gu Simu nodded in agreement.

Gu Lan didn't say much more, and with Xue Lengyan, they leapt into the sky. Their speed was incredible, and within moments, they were thousands of miles away.

As they traveled, Gu Lan remained silent. Xue Lengyan, unable to suppress her curiosity, asked, "Master Gu, what exactly are we going to do?"

"If we can't do it openly, then we'll do it covertly," Gu Lan replied briefly, leaving Xue Lengyan confused. But Gu Lan didn't offer further explanation, and she didn't ask again.

Their journey continued at breakneck speed. Eventually, they stopped in the void, where a dense aura of spiritual energy could be felt from afar. Several magnificent palaces were visible in the distance.

Gu Lan's expression was cold as his gaze swept across the area, finally locking onto a guard. A sneer appeared on his face as he jumped down.

Blood Lengyan wanted to follow, but Gu Lan stopped her. "Stay here and wait!"

He alone could handle this; Xue Lengyan would only be in danger if she came along.

Although unsure of Gu Lan's intentions, Xue Lengyan didn't press further and stayed behind.

The Xuanyuan Clan had many powerful members, but some were weaker. The guards outside the palace hadn't reacted yet when Gu Lan swiftly grabbed one by the throat. With a firm grip, Gu Lan squeezed until the guard's face turned red.

"What do you want?" the guard gasped, struggling in vain.

"This is not the place for a conversation. Come with me," Gu Lan's voice was icy as he dragged the guard away.

In just a few moments, they were in a distant area of void, where Gu Lan loosened his grip but placed the Hongmeng Sword against the guard's neck.

"As long as you answer my questions obediently, you won't die here," Gu Lan said coldly.

"You think you can just… I am from the Xuanyuan Clan…" the guard attempted to argue, but before he could finish, Gu Lan's sword pierced through his body.

"Did you think I was negotiating with you?" Gu Lan sneered, delivering several more strikes with his sword.

Though the guard was still alive, he was gravely wounded, unable to move.

Spitting out blood, the guard bent forward, his strength completely drained. Gu Lan relaxed his grip, but the cold aura remained.

"Have you thought it through now?" Gu Lan asked, though he expected more defiance. Instead, the guard began to beg for mercy.

"I will tell you everything, young master!"

"Where is your young Lord?" Gu Lan's voice remained sharp.

The guard hesitated, his confusion evident, but after seeing Gu Lan's intense gaze, he knew better than to defy him.

After some explanation, Gu Lan's face broke into a cold smile. "I didn't expect Young Lord Xuanyuan to be so cautious."

Gu Lan's Hongmeng Sword flickered ominously. The guard, sensing the growing danger, began to panic.

Before he could say anything further, another sword strike pierced through his brow.

"Why... why!" The guard gasped, still shocked by Gu Lan's actions despite revealing what he knew.

"Keeping you alive is a hassle. I don't want to deal with any more trouble," Gu Lan remarked, wiping the blood off his sword.

Turning to Xue Lengyan, he called out, "Blood Clan Master, I need your help!"

Her confusion deepened, but she didn't hesitate. "Create a disturbance outside, as loud as possible!"

Though unsure of Gu Lan's exact plan, Xue Lengyan knew to trust him. Without delay, she released her energy, and Gu Lan vanished like a shadow.

His speed was so fast that he was barely perceptible to the naked eye.

Xue Lengyan now understood Gu Lan's purpose for coming here. She released all her blood energy, her speed unmatched, and dashed into the distance with a thunderous roar.

By the time Xuanyuan Clan's experts noticed, the only trace left behind was the lingering aura of energy, and not a single figure in sight.

Taking advantage of the distraction, Gu Lan slipped into the palace undetected.

Inside, he was immediately struck by the rich spiritual energy and the numerous treasures scattered throughout the halls. His gaze locked onto the figure of Young Lord Xuanyuan, who was facing away from him, absorbed in his cultivation.

Young Lord Xuanyuan had no idea Gu Lan had arrived because he hadn't sensed any energy fluctuations.

"What's happening outside?" Young Lord Xuanyuan muttered, furrowing his brow when he didn't receive a response.

Before he could react, the Hongmeng Sword was already pointed at his forehead.

"You, Young Lord Xuanyuan, are quite the carefree one," Gu Lan remarked with a cold, almost mocking tone, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

"How did you get here?" Young Lord Xuanyuan was taken aback, clearly shocked to see Gu Lan.

"Of course, I came to ask Young Lord Xuanyuan for a little favor!" Gu Lan's smile was sharp as he continued, "Do you think it's possible?"

Young Lord Xuanyuan's face darkened, his killing intent rising.
