My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty
Chapter 850 - 850: Cannot Be Controlled Anymore

At this moment, Gu Lan felt very irritated and didn't know what to do. The energy inside him surged, and he slammed his fist into the ground with force.

"Boom!"

A loud noise sounded as the earth beneath his feet cracked open.

Debris flew everywhere, and the powerful true energy spread in all directions.

"What's the use of throwing such a tantrum? If you have the ability, kill them!"

The Blood Demon's cold mocking voice sounded in his ears, and Gu Lan's expression darkened.

"Say one more word, and I'll kill you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Gu Lan suddenly froze for a second.

At this moment, Gu Lan realized that the Blood Demon was trying to manipulate him in various ways.

He absolutely could not let this guy influence him, or he would lose control again.

"Are you calming down now?"

"Listen to me, kill them, and not only can you get rid of me, but you'll also gain a stronger aura."

But now, Gu Lan was completely unaffected by the Blood Demon's words, and he ignored them entirely.

...

After a few breaths, the Blood Demon finally stopped speaking.

In the world of consciousness, the Blood Demon's expression was grim, his eyes filled with killing intent.

Previously, he was able to influence Gu Lan, but now, Gu Lan's state of mind had greatly improved.

Despite all his words, Gu Lan showed no sign of being affected.

"Don't think you can still fool me like before!"

The two of them were one, and the Blood Demon knew exactly what Gu Lan was thinking.

Gu Lan exposed it, and the Blood Demon immediately snapped back to his senses.

"This body will be mine sooner or later!"

"We'll see about that."

Gu Lan's tone was cold, and his pace quickened.

Just as he stopped, a shadow appeared not far away.

This guy's ghostly presence was relentless, following him persistently. Gu Lan was somewhat surprised.

"Why are you following me?"

"To keep my life!"

The shadow's answer was evasive, and Gu Lan's face darkened immediately.

"I suggest you speak properly, or I won't be so polite."

Gu Lan's tone suddenly shifted, and the shadow was startled.

He bent slightly and spoke respectfully.

"Master Gu, I'm telling the truth! Without following you, I don't feel safe!"

Previously, he had nearly lost his life when facing those Blood Slaves.

Now, he sensed that more trouble was on the way.

Gu Lan didn't know how to respond after hearing this.

"Do as you wish. I need to cultivate, so don't disturb me!"

Gu Lan said these words and turned to walk to a side.

The shadow, understanding the situation, nodded repeatedly and set up a formation around them.

"I'll guard for Master Gu!"

...

In the Jing Nation palace, Gu Simu had walked out of the secret place.

Seeing the power emanating from her, Zhongren quickly walked up.

"Girl, how much have you improved?"

He could sense that Gu Simu's aura had grown considerably.

However, it was faint and fluctuating, so he couldn't be sure.

Noticing Zhongren's puzzled expression, Gu Simu didn't hesitate and directly released her aura.

Golden light flashed, and the Hammer of Evergreen Pine appeared.

At the same time, a vine appeared on her arm.

Seeing this, Zhongren was also taken aback.

"Undead Vine!"

"Uncle Zhongren, I've completely fused with this Undead Vine. As long as this vine isn't destroyed, I won't die!"

Gu Simu said suddenly, and Zhongren's face dimmed.

"Are you being influenced?"

The power of the Undead Vine was indeed formidable, but Zhongren was worried that Gu Simu might be harmed by its backlash.

Seeing Zhongren's solemn face, Gu Simu shook her head faintly.

"No, it seems very obedient to me, though I don't know why!"

She had already mastered the vine, but the energy within it was still somewhat lacking.

Now, Gu Simu took this opportunity to fully refine it.

"Uncle Zhongren, have you heard anything about my father?"

Gu Simu wasn't concerned with others; she was only worried about Gu Lan's safety.

Gu Lan had been away for some time, and she feared something might have happened to him.

Zhongren hesitated, not knowing how to respond.

Since Gu Lan left, he couldn't feel his presence.

He had sent several strong individuals, but they returned with no results.

"Is the lord..."

Before he could finish, Mu Yuyan's voice came from outside the palace.

"Don't worry. Your father is safe."

Hearing the voice, Gu Simu quickly turned around.

"Mother."

Mu Yuyan walked forward with a smile on her face.

"Is father really safe?"

Gu Simu was somewhat reluctant to believe it, but Mu Yuyan briefly nodded.

"Would I deceive you about this?"

Zhongren didn't linger; he bowed to the two women and retreated.

As soon as he stepped out of the palace, he noticed a blood shadow in the distance.

"Blood Clan Master!"

Zhongren said, then gave a slight bow.

Xue Lengyan walked forward and waved his hand.

"No need for such formalities. I need your help with something!"

Upon hearing this, Zhongren was puzzled and confused.

"With the power of your Blood Clan, do you still need my help?"

This wasn't a joke, as the Blood Clan was still a powerful force.

"That's where you're wrong. Only you can help."

Xue Lengyan spoke seriously, and Zhongren, understanding the gravity, didn't refuse.

After all, Gu Lan had instructed him to assist the Blood Clan wholeheartedly.

"If there's anything you need, Blood Clan Master, just say the word!"

Xue Lengyan didn't hold back and immediately released his aura.

Taking a step, he disappeared into the distance.

Zhongren, seeing this, quickly released his aura to follow.

...

After a moment, they arrived at a dark void.

Once they stopped, Zhongren saw hundreds of Blood Clan members.

Noticing their formation, Zhongren immediately understood why Xue Lengyan had invited him here.

Before he could withdraw his gaze, Xue Lengyan waved his hand, and a streak of blood light entered Zhongren's mind.

As the energy entered, Zhongren's expression became increasingly serious.

It was a long while before he came back to himself.

"Blood Clan Master, this may be very difficult to achieve!"

"I believe in you."

Xue Lengyan's expression was calm, with little change.

"Why?"

Zhongren was puzzled by his trust.

"You have a greater mastery over Qimen Dunjia than Master Gu. He's told me before."

"Except for you, I don't think anyone else could open this."

Xue Lengyan mentioned Gu Lan directly, and Zhongren didn't know how to respond.

After considering it, he began to demonstrate Qimen Dunjia, and the surrounding true energy gathered toward him.

"I'll give it a try!"

This formation had immense power, and he wanted to try it out.

More importantly, if this formation could truly be refined, it would benefit the Jing Nation as well.

Upon hearing his response, Xue Lengyan was very satisfied.

"Any Blood Clan experts are at your disposal, and they will provide whatever is necessary!"

"Thank you!"

Xue Lengyan had extended such favor, and Zhongren was pleasantly surprised.

After all, only Gu Lan had this kind of authority before.

"No need for thanks!"

With that, Xue Lengyan turned and disappeared from the scene.
