My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty

Chapter 912: Wan Hun Condensed

Gu Lan instinctively tried to turn, but to his surprise, he found himself unable to move. Not only him, but Gu Simu was also in the same predicament, unable to shift an inch.

“What’s going on?” Gu Simu asked, noticing the difficulty they were both experiencing.

Wan Hun spoke slowly, observing the struggle of both Gu Lan and Gu Simu. “This is the shadow of the Land of Ruin, a manifestation of your presence here in the Land of Ruin. In short, once this shadow vanishes, you will disappear with it.”

Wan Hun, growing impatient, began to increase the pressure of the force in his hands. Under his power, both Gu Lan and Gu Simu were bending at the waist, struggling to maintain their stance.

At that moment, Gu Lan’s mind flashed with images. He pieced together what Wan Hun had not explained.

The Land of Ruin was not a place where living beings were allowed. Anyone who entered would create a shadow of the Land of Ruin. This shadow would gradually absorb the essence of the living being until they disappeared, and the shadow would then merge with the Land of Ruin Tree.

Gu Lan also understood where Wan Hun came from. The man was not a living being but a remnant of the Great Path’s will. Having absorbed Wan Hun’s power here, he had condensed his consciousness, which then bound him to this place as the guardian of the Land of Ruin.
