My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty
Chapter 890 - 890: A Heart Set on Death

Gu Lan was fully aware of what kind of people the Wizard Clan members were. They wouldn't stop at just one confrontation, and if they did, they wouldn't have repeatedly caused trouble.

As soon as he arrived back at the palace, Gu Lan had just stopped when Xue Lengyan walked over to him.

"Greetings, Master Gu!"

"You don't need to be so polite, Blood Clan Master. It's thanks to your clan's strong warriors that I was able to drive the Wizard Clan back."

If the Blood Clan hadn't shown up at the right moment, Gu Lan wasn't sure he would have been able to defeat the Wizard Clan.

"We've only dealt with the immediate problem. More trouble will follow."

Gu Lan nodded coldly in agreement with Xue Lengyan's words. He understood well that this was just the beginning, but right now, he had no other choice. The Wizard Clan was wild and unruly; they wouldn't settle for peace talks with him.

"Even if they come, it will be some time before they return."

After thinking for a moment, Gu Lan spoke with a serious expression. Then, he changed the subject and asked Xue Lengyan, "How is the conflict between the Lava Clan young lord and the Wizard Clan?"

"It's become critical. I've heard that the Lava Clan young lord is gathering the strongest warriors from his clan!"

Hearing this, Gu Lan became intrigued and a trace of excitement appeared on his face.

"Interesting, this will be fun to watch."

Gu Lan muttered to himself, and Xue Lengyan looked puzzled.

"Master Gu, there's something else I need to tell you."

Xue Lengyan suddenly said, and Gu Lan immediately suppressed the expression on his face.

"What is it?"

In response to his inquiry, Xue Lengyan revealed everything he knew.

"To my surprise, the young lord of the Wizard Clan is actually a fool."

Gu Lan had originally thought that Mo Xuan's actions were due to his command over the powerful members of the Wizard Clan. But it turned out that the Wizard Clan's warriors were under the control of the second elder.

"Well, then kill him!"

Once the second elder was dead, no one in the Wizard Clan would dare to defy Mo Xuan. He could mobilize more and more powerful warriors, and all his problems would vanish.

Gu Lan nodded thoughtfully and began to devise a new plan in his mind.

"I need you to spread this news."

After speaking, Gu Lan gave a mysterious smile and whispered a few more words into Xue Lengyan's ear.

Once Gu Lan had finished speaking, Xue Lengyan's eyes widened in shock, unsure how to respond.

"Master Gu, do you really think this will work?"

"Just do as I say. He will definitely not refuse."

From what Gu Lan knew about the Wizard Clan, they cared deeply about their reputation. Especially the second elder, who would not want to be spoken of in such a way.

"I'll go now!"

With that, Xue Lengyan vanished in a single step.

……

As time passed, rumors soon began to spread.

The second elder of the Wizard Clan had been defeated by Gu Lan and was too afraid to fight again!

The rumors circulating made the second elder of the Wizard Clan feel embarrassed.

Within the Wizard Clan's great hall, the powerful warriors were whispering amongst themselves.

"Quiet!"

The great elder barked, and the murmuring stopped. However, surprised glances were exchanged.

"Isn't this a disgrace to the Wizard Clan?"

……

The voices were quiet, but still reached the second elder's ears.

"I'll go fight him!"

As a powerful member of the Wizard Clan, how could he just let this go?

Seeing him preparing to leave, the great elder quickly stepped forward.

"He's clearly using reverse psychology; don't fall for it!"

The second elder was well aware, but now he had no choice.

If this spread throughout the Immortal Realm, his position would be in jeopardy.

"Even if it's reverse psychology, I still have to go!"

After leaving this declaration, the second elder turned and walked away.

The great elder and the third elder exchanged glances and hurried to follow him.

But just as they stepped forward, two sword lights blocked their path.

"This matter is between me and him. You two don't need to interfere, and you must not strike!"

Though Gu Lan said this, the second elder didn't really think that way. He knew Gu Lan was trying to provoke him.

If anything happened to him, there were still the other two elders to protect the clan.

But if all three of them were killed, the Wizard Clan would fall into chaos.

He was ready to face death today, but no matter what, he would make Gu Lan pay the price.

The great elder and the second elder didn't understand his intentions.

They wanted to follow, but it was too late.

The second elder moved so quickly that in the blink of an eye, he was tens of thousands of feet away.

Stopping at a cloud, the second elder summoned a layer of blood light around him, and his weapon materialized in his hand.

Thousands of sword lights flickered, and the entire sky darkened.

"I've already come this far, stop hiding. Come out!"

The second elder's murderous gaze swept around, and Gu Lan appeared in the distance, sword in hand.

"You actually dared to come; I thought you wouldn't. But you're fast enough."

"I didn't come here to waste time with you. Are you going to kill yourself, or should I send you on your way?"

Gu Lan was extremely arrogant, and his words instantly provoked the second elder.

"Big words, I think you're tired of living!"

The second elder's eyes flared with anger, and his blood-red blade trembled as he charged forward.

Hundreds of blood-red blades flashed toward Gu Lan.

Seeing the incoming attack, Gu Lan didn't budge an inch, even sneering.

"With your ability, you think you can harm me?"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Gu Lan disappeared.

When the second elder turned his head, a sword pierced through his body.

"Zing..."

A foul, blood-curdling smell spread through the air as the second elder's arm was severed.

In pain, he quickly stepped back two paces, surprised.

"How is this possible? How is your speed so much faster?"

He was shocked; he knew Gu Lan's strength and didn't expect this change.

"Before, I wasn't using my full strength, which gave you a false impression."

"Don't worry, now I'll let you experience my full power."

Had the second elder realized how serious his situation was, he might not have acted so recklessly. But now, since he had interfered with Gu Lan's plan, he couldn't leave him alive.

Gu Lan injected his true energy into the Hongmeng Sword, slashing out, causing thousands of sword lights to appear.

Seeing such a terrifying power, the second elder hesitated, fearful.

He quickly turned to retreat.

He had come here with the intention of dying, but it wasn't time for that yet.

Although he couldn't defeat Gu Lan, his speed was no slouch either.

He knew Gu Lan's tactics and didn't expect the sword lights from above to be the key.

As the second elder frantically dodged, Gu Lan moved forward, sword raised.

"From how strong the second elder was before, I didn't expect him to be so miserable today!"

Facing Gu Lan's sarcastic words, the second elder could only seethe with anger, but dared not fight back.

He knew he couldn't continue this way, or he wouldn't even know how he died.

……

After hundreds of exchanges, the second elder's body was covered in blood, and he was panting heavily, not daring to advance any further, filled with dread.
