My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty
Chapter 884 - 884: Powerless to Stop

Even if he continued to battle with this man, Gu Lan wasn't necessarily going to lose. His power was evident, and he still had part of his strength left to use.

Gu Lan sneered coldly, his aura fully unleashing.

"Second Elder, do you still want to continue fighting?"

Even if the battle continued, Gu Lan remained unbothered.

"Gu Lan, don't push your luck, or don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Ruthless?"

"I'll see how ruthless you can be."

Gu Lan had no interest in wasting time on him. He merely shot him a cold glance, his eyes filled with unrelenting coldness.

With a flash, the Hongmeng Sword in his hand emitted a sharp hum, and blood-red sword shadows filled the air around them.

Gu Lan's internal power suddenly surged. The Second Elder of the Wizard Clan was momentarily stunned.

Earlier, when they fought, both of them had exhausted some energy. He had thought that Gu Lan had no strength left to fight, but to his surprise, Gu Lan managed to release such a terrifying power.

With a grave expression, the Second Elder was at a loss for how to respond.

While he was thinking, the sword shadows from the sky descended with a sharp sound.

"Shhh… Shhh…"

The shrill tearing noise echoed, and the Second Elder of the Wizard Clan was immediately engulfed.

Faced with such overwhelming strength, he didn't dare hesitate.

His blood energy surged, and he quickly activated his aura to block the attack.

But this time, Gu Lan had caught him off guard. How could he be given the chance to react?

The power he had used was indeed sufficient, but it still fell short.

He quickly opened a path for himself, not daring to hesitate for even a moment, and retreated to a distance of several miles.

When he stopped, he felt a sharp pain in his body.

Turning his head, he realized that a crack had appeared on his arm.

"Truly formidable, no wonder my clan fears you. This strength is no small matter."

Gu Lan sneered but didn't say a word; his aura alone had already explained everything.

"Do you want to continue fighting?"

Now that the battle had started, there was no need to drag it out.

Under Gu Lan's cold gaze, the Second Elder of the Wizard Clan stepped back and then vanished.

"You and I will have a showdown sooner or later."

Now that he was injured, he naturally couldn't continue fighting Gu Lan. He had initially thought that Gu Lan had some bloodlust, but this wasn't the case.

Gu Lan coldly smiled as his aura retracted.

Since the man had left, there was no need for him to take further action.

Even if he wanted to force this person to stay, it wouldn't be possible.

This man's cultivation level was similar to his own, and his strength was comparable.

Once Gu Lan's aura subsided, Xue Lengyan finally dared to approach.

Earlier, when Gu Lan fought with that man, Xue Lengyan hadn't dared to get close and had been hiding in the shadows.

Gu Lan's power far exceeded hers.

Even if she gave it her all, the energy released by Gu Lan and the Second Elder was beyond her ability to withstand.

"Letting him go like this will surely cause many problems in the future."

Gu Lan was not unaware of what Xue Lengyan was saying.

However, now that things had progressed to this point, he had no other choice.

"Let's leave here first, and have your Blood Clan prepare for what's coming."

After saying this, Gu Lan didn't speak further.

Seeing that Gu Lan wasn't saying more, Xue Lengyan didn't press the matter and could only follow him.

After returning to the Jing Nation Palace, Gu Lan was able to suppress his internal energy.

At that moment, Gu Simu and Zhongren arrived.

"Greetings, Father."

"Greetings, my Lord."

"May I ask why Father has called us here?"

"You two need to improve quickly, as even greater troubles are on the way."

Saying this, Gu Lan raised his hand, and two streams of energy entered their bodies.

When the energy entered them, Gu Simu and Zhongren both froze for a moment.

When they looked up again, their eyes were filled with shock, and their faces were much more serious.

"Father, this power…"

Before Gu Simu could finish, Gu Lan's expression remained calm as he spoke.

"Unless absolutely necessary, do not use this power."

The energy he had imparted to them was the Great Path energy.

Under normal circumstances, this energy shouldn't be used by others.

If it were detected, it could cost them their lives.

Gu Simu and Zhongren didn't understand exactly what Gu Lan meant, but they nodded.

Even without Gu Lan's words, they could tell that the situation was far from simple.

Not wanting to speak further, they turned to leave.

However, just as they took a step back, Gu Lan raised his hand, and Chaos and Bai Ze appeared.

The two creatures didn't show their true forms and looked quite comical.

Gu Simu's eyes lit up upon seeing them.

He stepped forward and grabbed Chaos and Bai Ze.

"Father, what are these little creatures?"

"The black one is Chaos, the white one is Bai Ze. These two aren't weak."

Gu Simu held them in his hands, clearly fond of them.

The two creatures, though, were showing their teeth.

Just then, Gu Simu suddenly tightened his grip and slapped Chaos on the head.

Gu Lan was taken aback by this sudden action.

He had expected Chaos to become furious, but to his surprise, Chaos lowered its head.

Gu Lan stared in disbelief.

Gu Simu was still weaker than him, and previously, Chaos had wanted to kill him.

Why had Chaos suddenly become so submissive?

Before Gu Lan could think further, Gu Simu spoke.

"Father, this little one is quite good. Let it stay with me!"

At first, Gu Lan had been worried that Gu Simu wouldn't be able to control it.

But after thinking for a moment, he nodded.

Chaos was no more tame in his hands.

It was better for it to stay with Gu Simu, as it would help protect him.

As for Bai Ze, Gu Lan kept it.

It could be controlled, so it didn't need to be handed over.

Zhongren was confused, still unsure about the situation.

However, since Gu Lan didn't say anything, he didn't ask further.

He respectfully bowed to Gu Lan and then withdrew.

Meanwhile, within the Wizard Clan, Mo Xuan had already gathered nearly a hundred powerful individuals.

The aura they exuded was far stronger than the Wizard Soldiers.

Each of them was surrounded by a strange black mist.

Mo Xuan took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with coldness.

"I need you all to come with me and deal with Lava Clan's Young Lord. Are you afraid?"

The people standing before him remained silent, but their expressions showed everything.

"Today, if you fight alongside me and win, I will help you enter the sacred ground of the Wizard Clan!"

Upon hearing this, the group was stunned, and their faces lit up with excitement.

But they kept their excitement restrained.

Mo Xuan didn't hesitate. He adjusted his energy and stepped into the void.

The strong individuals followed him without delay.

At the same time, Lava Clan's Young Lord, Chi Yang, had received the news.
