My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty
Chapter 858 - 858: Not Believing

Along with the cold voice of Gu Simu, Shadow frowned at the same time.

Another one related to Gu Lan, and for a moment, he didn't know how to react.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, a powerful surge of True Qi swept through, and the surrounding space instantly shattered.

Gu Simu struck with a single blow, sending Shadow flying back by a thousand feet.

Stabilizing himself, Shadow wore an expression of surprise.

From the beginning, he had underestimated Gu Simu, and the aura she exuded was terrifying beyond measure.

Having succeeded in his first strike, Gu Simu was already preparing for another attack, showing no interest in wasting words.

But before she could make her move, an extremely terrifying blood aura swept in from a distance.

"You're not bad for such a young age."

With the cold voice ringing out, Gu Simu immediately frowned.

Her expression darkened, and her eyes flashed with cold light.

At that moment, Mo Xuan appeared not far away.

Mo Xuan wore a cold smile, with a hint of disdain on his face.

"You're the one pulling the strings behind this!"

Gu Simu's face darkened, and killing intent was evident in her eyes.

Mo Xuan, too, was stunned by the aura emanating from Gu Simu. This power was indeed stronger than he had anticipated.

But he didn't take it to heart, and a mocking smile appeared on his face.

"You might not know yet, but your father is dead."

Mo Xuan bluntly stated the truth, but Gu Simu didn't believe his words.

Gu Lan was so strong—how could he possibly die?

"If my father is dead, you'll die with him."

Gu Simu shot him a cold glance and swung the Hammer of Evergreen Pine at him.

Though the force behind Gu Simu's strike was terrifying, it ultimately fell a bit short.

Mo Xuan, smiling coldly, didn't even look at her.

With a turn, he easily dodged the attack.

"If you don't believe me, you can ask her."

Saying this, Mo Xuan pointed toward the distant Mu Yuyan.

As his cold voice echoed, Mu Yuyan's body shook violently.

Stunned for a second, she quickly regained her composure.

"Don't listen to his nonsense."

Mu Yuyan's actions were strange, and Gu Simu could sense something, but she didn't pay too much attention to it. She needed to deal with the current trouble first.

"I won't waste time with you. Goodbye!"

Mo Xuan retreated a hundred feet away and suddenly said this.

"Wizard Clan's experts, leave this place!"

With his cold voice, the shadow and others dared not approach and quickly retreated.

Shadow hesitated for a moment as he retreated to a hundred feet away, but he didn't stay long.

What he didn't know was that his strange behavior was noticed by Mo Xuan.

Just as they were about to escape, Gu Simu immediately gathered her aura.

But before she could take a step, Mu Yuyan stopped her.

"Don't chase a desperate enemy."

At Mu Yuyan's words, Gu Simu halted her steps.

"Consider yourself lucky this time. Next time, I won't let you escape."

She spoke coldly, then retracted her aura.

At that moment, Xue Lengyan appeared not far away.

She had originally thought there would be a big fight, but unexpectedly, they had fled.

Though somewhat surprised, Xue Lengyan didn't hesitate and quickly walked up to Mu Yuyan.

"Is what he said true?"

Xue Lengyan asked in a low voice, fearful of attracting Gu Simu's attention.

Mu Yuyan didn't respond but simply nodded indifferently.

Xue Lengyan frowned, her expression growing more serious.

She knew Gu Lan's strength all too well—there was no way he would just fall like that.

Noticing the expression on her face, Mu Yuyan spoke in an indifferent tone.

"If you want to leave, I won't stop you."

With Mu Yuyan's words, Xue Lengyan quickly regained her composure.

"He won't just fall like that!"

Leaving this behind, Xue Lengyan turned and disappeared from the scene.

She had placed everything on Gu Lan.

If they left now, the Blood Clan would face annihilation.

Taking two steps forward, Xue Lengyan's voice reached Mu Yuyan's ears.

"If they dare come, I'll fight by your side."

Mu Yuyan was about to speak again but was interrupted by Gu Simu, who arrived in front of her.

"Mother, what are you two talking about?"

Looking at Gu Simu's curious expression, Mu Yuyan didn't have the heart to tell her the truth.

"It's nothing. This time, thanks to you."

Mu Yuyan forced a smile on her face, and her aura was also retracted.

Gu Simu was filled with suspicion. She felt like Mu Yuyan was hiding something from her, but with no solid evidence, she didn't know how to ask.

...

In the Ancient God Battlefield, Gu Lan had already suppressed his aura.

Though he hadn't found the spring, he sensed another power.

This power appeared intermittently, and he couldn't tell where it came from.

But he felt it was worth investigating—it might even lead to unexpected gains.

Gu Lan moved quickly, and soon, he vanished without a trace.

After a moment, Gu Lan arrived at a valley.

It was still a place filled with yellow sand, but the spiritual energy here was much richer than elsewhere.

However, as soon as Gu Lan took a step, he sensed something was off.

Besides the dense spiritual energy, there was also a formation.

"There's a formation here."

Gu Lan was quite surprised and proceeded cautiously.

He didn't want to unleash anything troublesome. After all, the fewer troubles, the better—he had more important matters to attend to.

He had expected it would be difficult to enter this formation, but after stepping forward, Gu Lan was stunned.

He wasn't affected at all and easily stepped into the area.

What came into his view made him widen his eyes in surprise.

This place was completely different from the yellow sand outside.

The True Qi here was dense, and in the distance, there was a bamboo house.

With a single glance, Gu Lan could feel the presence of a living being.

Although he had sensed something, Gu Lan remained cautious.

But after a long time, he didn't sense anything else.

There was clearly the presence of a living being here, but why did it feel like nothing was happening?

Moreover, he could tell that this person's aura wasn't weak.

He had already gotten so close, and by all rights, they should have noticed him by now.

Feeling uneasy, Gu Lan carefully pushed open the door of the bamboo house.

"Is anyone there?"

Gu Lan cautiously inquired, but there was still no reply.

At this moment, Gu Lan was somewhat confused.

The bamboo house was small but very dim.

After some hesitation, Gu Lan's face darkened, and True Qi began to flicker in his hand.

As he scanned the surroundings, a light, ethereal voice rang out in his ears.

"Who is it?"

The voice startled Gu Lan, and he quickly turned around, conjuring a force of True Qi in his hand.

"Who is it?"

He hadn't sensed any aura and had no idea where the voice came from.

He wasn't scared, but he was certainly on edge.

But under his gaze, he still didn't notice anything.

At this moment, Gu Lan was perplexed. Was he hearing things?

"Who is it?"

The voice sounded again, sending a chill down his spine.
