My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty

Chapter 916: Unafraid of Attacks

In summary, Gu Lan inherited the Power of the Heaven Path. He did so to protect the people around him, not to watch them leave one by one. His true energy surged, and with a single step, he vanished in a blur. The trouble here had come to an end for now, and it was time to return to the Human World. He had been away for several days and wasn’t sure what the current battles looked like.

Because of his integration with the Great Path Qi, even his Blood Demon Kung Fu had been purified. As a result, Gu Lan’s speed was ten times faster than before. While it took him several days to get here, it took only a few days to return.

But just as Gu Lan was racing forward, he suddenly felt a presence lurking behind him, tracking him from the shadows. Gu Lan’s speed was remarkable, and at this moment, he felt a distinct difference. Whoever was following him had powers comparable to his own.

At first, Gu Lan ignored it, but after a few moments, he realized that the figure wasn’t letting up in their pursuit. This irritated him. Fine, he thought, if you won’t stop, then don’t blame me for being ruthless.

He stopped in mid-air, above a cloud. Summoning the Hongmeng Sword, Gu Lan’s eyes swept across the sky, and he pierced through the distance with a single glance. His pursuer, though moving at an incredible speed to hide, could not escape his gaze.

“Stop hiding. Your method won’t fool me,” Gu Lan’s voice echoed from all directions.

The figure froze for a second, then slowly withdrew their power, appearing to make peace.

“Careless!” Gu Lan muttered to himself, then took a good look at the stranger: a handsome man clad in black robes, holding an iron fan. The man stopped just a hundred feet away from Gu Lan, giving a polite bow with a faint smile.
