My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty
Chapter 834 - 834: The Battle to the Xuanyuan Clan

With a force not too great, they managed to capture Gu Lan's attention.

Mo Xuan and his companion did not linger but swiftly retreated, reaching thousands of feet away.

Sensing their aura, Gu Lan's face twisted into a savage grin, and he leaped up.

The sudden change startled Gu Simu and Zhongren, who quickly adjusted their energy to follow.

Though their power had reached their peak, there was still a gap between them.

In just a few breaths, Gu Lan had disappeared from their sight.

Furthermore, they could no longer sense his aura nearby.

Gu Simu's expression tightened, anxiety and seriousness filling her eyes.

"Uncle Zhongren, do you have any solutions?"

Gu Lan had lost his self-awareness, and they were deeply concerned that something disastrous might occur.

Zhongren's face darkened, and his aura suddenly spread out.

"Don't worry!"

With that, he directly summoned the Qimen Dunjia.

His hands moved rapidly, and dozens of golden beams fell from the sky.

After a while, Zhongren was sweating profusely, exhausted from the effort.

When the Qimen Dunjia dissipated, he spoke with a tired voice.

"Xuanyuan Clan!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Simu immediately leaped into action.

Her speed increased exponentially, and in the blink of an eye, she reached several thousand feet.

Seeing her increasing speed, Zhongren did not dare to wait any longer.

She could not afford to make a mistake; if something happened to her, it would be disastrous.

Mo Xuan and his companion, originally with some spare strength, began to feel something was off.

Gu Lan's speed increased steadily, and it seemed he would soon catch up to them.

With a darkened expression, Mo Xuan stepped back.

The two of them halted, their cold gazes focused, and they raised their hands in unison to strike.

They could not let Gu Lan lock onto them; that would lead to trouble.

Their attacks were fast, and they caught Gu Lan off guard!

Although the attack was powerful, it did not harm Gu Lan in the slightest.

The sheer force of the strike only caused Gu Lan to stagger back a couple of steps.

After forcing Gu Lan back, the two of them leaped into the air and shifted their energy.

Now, they were only a few thousand feet away from the Xuanyuan Clan.

Once they drew Gu Lan there, their objective would be complete.

Gu Lan's face twisted in fury, and his aura erupted once again.

...

In the magnificent palace of the Xuanyuan Clan, several powerful figures had gathered, their faces shadowed with dark expressions.

The Lord of the Xuanyuan Clan's command token had shattered, signaling the Lord's death.

Others were shocked, but only Qingfeng's expression remained grim, silent.

He had already anticipated such an outcome.

Previously, the Xuanyuan Clan had been on top, but after several confrontations,

he realized that the gap between them and Gu Lan was far greater than expected.

Moreover, the Lord of the Xuanyuan Clan had previously sworn a toxic vow.

Attacking Gu Lan was against the will of heaven, which would bring divine punishment!

"This is bad!"

Suddenly, an urgent voice came from outside the palace.

Everyone was stunned and turned their gazes toward the source.

A servant rushed forward in a panic.

"Gu Lan has arrived!"

"What!"

Young Lord Xuanyuan's face darkened, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

"Is he seeking death? Then we'll make sure he never leaves!"

"Elders, follow me!"

With the death of the clan leader, the absolute authority of the Xuanyuan Clan now rested in his hands.

Qingfeng did not respond, but the other three elders gathered their energies to follow.

"I, Xuanyuan Clan, will never allow a human clan to act so recklessly. We'll eliminate him together!"

Qingfeng had something on his tongue but swallowed it.

There was no need to stop them; the situation was already decided. It was better for him to leave.

He did not want to stay and die. As for the decisions made by the others, he could care less.

Young Lord Xuanyuan, however, was too focused on eliminating Gu Lan to pay attention to Qingfeng.

In an instant, they rushed into action.

At the same time, nearly a thousand strong Xuanyuan Clan warriors also surged forward.

However, their strength was far weaker than that of the earlier powerful figures, as they were on completely different levels.

Young Lord Xuanyuan stood in the void, his face dark with murderous intent.

Behind him, ten Shadow Guardians materialized.

At that moment, he noticed two figures approaching from afar.

"Wizard Clan!"

He never expected the Wizard Clan to appear.

But before he could react, Mo Xuan sneered coldly.

"You still have time to deal with me? Your troubles have just begun!"

With a boastful tone, Mo Xuan immediately vanished into the shadows.

Gu Lan had arrived but couldn't find their figures.

His fierce gaze swept downward, locking onto the Xuanyuan Clan members.

"Not bad, so many of you!"

A hoarse, murderous voice echoed, and Gu Lan's bloodthirsty aura burst forth.

Gu Lan's power was terrifying, and no one here could withstand it.

Seeing the blood aura sweeping across the sky, the Xuanyuan Clan members furrowed their brows.

Especially Young Lord Xuanyuan, whose face grew even more ghastly.

He had encountered Gu Lan before, but never had he seen Gu Lan this terrifying.

The murderous gleam in Gu Lan's eyes made him feel fear.

"How can this be!"

He stammered, but quickly regained composure.

"Xuanyuan Clan, attack! Kill him!"

With his roar, several elders charged forward.

But Gu Lan did not retreat, his face twisted into a savage grin.

"Come, all your power will become mine!"

An icy voice spoke as Gu Lan swung his Hongmeng Sword.

"Boom!"

With a resounding crash, the surrounding blood aura scattered in all directions.

Before they could even get close, the Xuanyuan Clan members were sent flying back by the force.

As they regained their footing, the blood aura surged towards them again.

The deafening sound filled the skies, and the heavens darkened.

Under the overwhelming blood aura, the elders panicked and quickly mobilized their energy to defend.

But against Gu Lan's attack, their defense was useless.

Tearing sounds echoed as bloodstains appeared all over their bodies.

As they began to retreat, all the blood was absorbed by Gu Lan.

Far away, Gu Simu and Zhongren watched the scene, their expressions grave.

"Uncle Zhongren, why has my father's methods become like this?"

Gu Simu's face looked pained, and tears shimmered in her eyes.

"Ah!"

A blood-curdling scream echoed through the heavens, causing the entire sky to tremble.

Hearing this, Gu Simu wanted to rush forward, but Zhongren stopped her.

"Not the right time, wait!"

He also wanted to save Gu Lan, but he was more concerned about Gu Simu's safety.

...

After hundreds of exchanges, two of the three elders had fallen.

The Shadow Guardians were in shambles, with only two left standing.

Young Lord Xuanyuan watched the carnage, and his face darkened.

"What are you waiting for? Charge!"

He urged the remaining hundred strong warriors. His eyes were filled with gloom.
