My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty
Chapter 878 - 878: Life-Saving Means

Quickly, Gu Lan's gaze fixed on a certain spot. It was the scene unfolding at the Jing Nation Imperial Palace. As the image before his eyes shifted, Gu Lan's expression darkened.

However, Zhongren was completely confused, as he could see nothing at the location Gu Lan was focused on. Before Zhongren could process this, a terrifying aura suddenly surged around them. Not only did Zhongren feel its effects, but the image Gu Lan was viewing also vanished. The River of Time began to shake violently, and both of them were forced back into the real world.

Zhongren's Qimen Dunjia was disrupted, and Gu Lan's face grew grim. Zhongren had no idea where this power had come from, but he felt a hint of death within it. After a few moments of disorientation, he snapped back to reality and turned toward Gu Lan with a nervous smile.

"My Lord, I apologize for my weakness. Please don't be angry."

Gu Lan gave a neutral gesture. "This is not your fault."

They had been driven out by some inexplicable force. Although Gu Lan didn't know its exact origin, he had a rough idea. He had already gained the acknowledgment of the Great Path's energy, and there were few who could block him. This meant one thing: stronger beings were at play here. Whoever was stopping him clearly had a purpose, deliberately preventing him from seeing the end result.

Gu Lan dismissed the thought and turned his focus to the Jing Nation Imperial Palace. While their side would win the war against the Wizard Clan, many would still fall. After this battle, the Shadow Slave would disappear as well. This individual had always been loyal, and Gu Lan didn't want to see him perish.

A few breaths later, Gu Lan and Zhong Ren descended from the void.

As soon as they stopped, Gu Lan's gaze immediately locked onto the Shadow Slave.

The Shadow Slave sensed this, clearly startled, his face full of confusion. His eyes instinctively turned towards Gu Lan.

Just as he was still perplexed, Gu Lan raised his hand and with a wave, gathered a surge of true energy.

As the power entered, the Shadow Slave froze in place.

He felt an aura several times stronger than his own, but surprisingly, it didn't make him feel any danger.

"This power will protect you at the moment of your greatest need," Gu Lan said.

Shadow Slave remained frozen for a while, absorbing the meaning of Gu Lan's words. Then, his face lit up with gratitude, and he hurriedly bowed. "Thank you, my Lord."

Previously, he had worried about being overpowered in a fight. He hadn't expected Gu Lan to offer him such a protection.

"Remember, do not use it unless absolutely necessary," Gu Lan warned before he leapt into the void again.

As he came to a stop, countless bolts of lightning began to gather above him. The energy was formidable, filled with murderous intent.

Gu Lan's expression darkened as he swung the Hongmeng Sword, his voice icy. "I am the embodiment of the heavenly Dao here. You think you can punish me?"

Gu Lan's cold voice echoed, and only then did the thunder dissipate.

At first, Gu Lan was worried that this move might not work.

But to his surprise, there was an unexpected outcome.

A faint smile appeared on his face as he then lowered his aura.

However, Gu Lan did not withdraw his power.

While this trouble had been resolved, a greater one still awaited him.

With a cold gaze, Gu Lan pierced through tens of thousands of miles in an instant.

It must be said, the speed of these Wizard Clan members was no joke.

A meaningful and cold smile appeared on Gu Lan's face as the true energy in his hand began to manifest.

Gu Lan sneered coldly, and his true qi gathered around him. "Since you've arrived, don't blame me for being rude."

As he spoke, the energy within him surged, and swordlight erupted from the sky. The Wizard Clan's forces froze in shock at the display of power, but they quickly activated their own energy.

However, their response came too slowly.

The swordlight rained down, causing the space around them to explode. The sound of tearing echoed as the Wizard Clan members were sucked into the torrent of blades.

After several breaths, the swordlight finally dissipated, revealing the aftermath: half of the Wizard Clan's forces had been killed.

Gu Lan wasn't satisfied with this outcome. He had expected to annihilate them all, but only half remained.

With a resigned sigh, Gu Lan poured his energy into the Hongmeng Sword. He had no time to waste with these enemies. It was time to deal with them once and for all.

As the Wizard Clan forces prepared to advance, Gu Lan appeared before them. With a sweep of the Hongmeng Sword, tens of thousands of swordlights filled the sky.

Seeing the overwhelming power, the Wizard Clan members were filled with fear and determination. They quickly gathered their energy to retaliate, but Gu Lan's strength was too much for them.

The swordlights crashed down, and the sky itself seemed to tremble. The powerful blood energy that Gu Lan infused with his Blood Demon Kung Fu made the attack even more terrifying. The tearing sound echoed as the entire sky shook.

Although the Wizard Clan's experts were strong, they couldn't even get close to Gu Lan before they were overwhelmed by the sheer power. Within moments, their strength was completely scattered.

Only a handful of them survived, though heavily injured.

Gu Lan was not satisfied with the final result. He had expected to kill all of them, but it turned out to be this way instead.

With a helpless sigh, Gu Lan poured his true energy into the Hongmeng Sword.

Since it had come to this, he would have to take matters into his own hands.

He had no interest in wasting time with these enemies.

Killing them now was the most important thing.

Just as the Wizard Clan warriors were about to move forward, Gu Lan appeared before them.

The Hongmeng Sword trembled, and ten thousand sword lights emerged from the heavens.

Seeing the power radiating from Gu Lan, their faces filled with panic, and their eyes were heavy with gravity.

"Listen well, I'm giving you a chance to live. This path is closed, turn back now."

Gu Lan had no intention of wasting more words with them.

As long as they didn't cause trouble, they could live.

But as soon as his voice fell, their faces twisted into expressions of anger.

Killing intent filled their eyes, and their expressions turned cold.

"You are nothing! How dare you command us!"

With these cold words, the warriors of the Wizard Clan didn't hesitate any longer.

Their faces darkened, and they immediately mobilized their energy.

They weren't interested in wasting more time with Gu Lan; their only goal was to eliminate him.

Watching them rush to their deaths, Gu Lan couldn't help but sigh.

He had given them a chance, but they didn't appreciate it.

Just as the Wizard Clan warriors were about to close in, Gu Lan swung his sword.

The ten thousand sword lights swept across the sky, filled with a terrifying bloodlust.

Gu Lan had used the Blood Demon Kung Fu, and this power was far from ordinary.

The tearing sound echoed, and the entire sky trembled.

The Wizard Clan warriors' strength was formidable, but they never even had a chance to approach him.

Soon, the power of the Wizard Clan warriors dissipated completely.

Gu Lan had used his full strength this time, so only a few warriors remained standing.

The remaining dozens of warriors had survived, but they were severely injured.

When their gazes turned to Gu Lan, their eyes were filled with deep fear.

Noticing the expressions on their faces, Gu Lan smiled coldly, his aura still not retreating.

"I gave you a chance."

His voice was cold as he took a step forward. With a few swift strikes, he killed them all.

Blood poured out, and the surrounding area was filled with the stench of blood.

Gu Lan coldly glanced at the scene, raising his hand to wipe the blood from the Hongmeng Sword.

He had no interest in talking further with them.

The reason his aura remained unrestrained was because there were still greater troubles ahead.
