My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty Chapter 717 - 717 Behind This, Someone is Watching

717: Behind This, Soone is Watching 717: Behind This, Soone is Watching The Dark Master and the stronger mbers of the Dark Clan certainly wouldn’t leave, as they still had to keep an eye on the outside world.

However, so others in the clan were not so tied down by such concerns.

They would still have to stay vigilant and keep an eye on things.

Gu Simu and Zhongren were powerful, but the more trouble they faced, the more headaches they would inevitably encounter, especially with their other tasks and responsibilities weighing on them.

They couldn’t afford to waste ti or get bogged down by unnecessary complications.

This ti, Gu Simu didn’t retract her spiritual senses.

As they moved forward, she could sense everything in her path, regardless of the opponent’s strength.

Dark Master, sensing her movents, looked up.

He was well aware that the spiritual senses were Gu Lan’s doing, and he could clearly discern what Gu Lan had in mind—he was rely watching them closely.

His presence was unmistakable, and Dark Master could feel the dangerous aura surrounding him.

With that, he knew he had no opportunity to act.

He had initially thought that he could use this opportunity to deal with Gu Simu and Zhongren, perhaps even eliminate them.

However, with Gu Lan around, there was no chance.

The mont he tried anything, it would be impossible to succeed.

Once a stronger mber left, if Gu Lan didn’t imdiately notice, Dark Master was confident that his own clan’s warriors wouldn’t make it to the entrance of the Dark Clan in ti.

Gu Lan’s face was expressionless, his gaze locking with Dark Master’s.

He snorted coldly, not taking him seriously at all.

Gu Lan wasn’t interested in Dark Master—he didn’t care what happened to him as long as he didn’t cause any problems for Gu Simu.

Within the Dark World, Gu Simu and Zhongren grew closer and closer to their destination.

Zhongren, being skilled in divination, could easily locate the item they were searching for.

Soon, they ca to a desolate palace, where they stopped.

After scanning the surroundings, Zhongren activated his Qi n Dun Jia, a form of ancient Chinese divination.

His gaze lowered, and countless golden rays burst forth.

Guided by the divination, they moved quickly ahead.

After a few dozen steps, the ground cracked open before them.

A beam of golden light shot up into the sky, revealing a golden orb that appeared before them.

Seeing this, Zhongren’s face showed a faint smile, and he quickly said to Gu Simu, “Take this, it will be very helpful for you!”

Upon seeing the orb, Gu Simu imdiately understood that it was no ordinary object.

As a treasure, it was sothing she could not afford to miss.

Without hesitation, she gathered her energy, her Qi flowing outward as she stepped forward.

When she reached the orb, she snatched it into her hand.

Imdiately, she could feel the powerful energy emanating from it, and a aningful smile appeared on her face.

The force inside was indeed strong, and it seed to have a connection with the powers she already possessed, like the Evergreen Pine and the Undead Vine.

At that mont, she realized why Zhongren had brought her here.

The item was the reason for the trip.

Not wasting any more ti, she decided to absorb it directly.

There was no point in hesitation—it was ant for her, so why wait?

With her energy flowing, Gu Simu quickly wrapped the orb with her power, ready to absorb it.

But just as she was about to take action, the orb suddenly broke free from her grasp.

It shot away from her at incredible speed, flying hundreds of feet away in the blink of an eye.

The energy she had released was now completely gone, and the orb was once again free.

Gu Simu was shocked.

The orb was able to escape her control.

She saw it darting around the air like a wild force, and her face darkened.

The Hamr of Evergreen Pine appeared in her hand, and her expression grew colder.

“I suggest you behave and let absorb you.

Otherwise, I’ll shatter you!” she warned.

She wasn’t in the mood for patience.

She didn’t want to see the treasure she’d just found escape from her hands.

Zhongren, watching from the side, was montarily stunned.

Then, he chuckled and said, “Don’t be so rash, just ta the item.

That’s all.”

Gu Simu’s temperant was just like her father Gu Lan’s—impatient and quick-tempered.

Zhongren didn’t want her to break the orb, as that would make things far more troubleso than they needed to be.

Gu Simu pouted and reluctantly reined in so of her energy.

She had originally planned to grab the orb as quickly as possible, and if it didn’t obey, to destroy it.

However, upon Zhongren’s advice, she hesitated for a mont.

Her expression darkened, and a cold light flickered in her eyes.

She had no intention of backing down, but at least for now, she decided not to act rashly.

The orb had proven difficult to capture, but she wasn’t going to let it get away.

She stepped forward once more, her speed even faster than before.

But as she tried to approach, the orb moved faster still, evading her every move.

They went back and forth like this for a few hundred tis, and soon, Gu Simu was panting heavily, her face turning pale with exhaustion.

How could the orb be so fast?

Her eyes narrowed as she realized that she couldn’t keep up.

This wasn’t sothing she had expected.

She was getting nowhere, and her frustration was growing.

Zhongren, standing by, continued using the Qi n Dun Jia to maintain the divination.

He couldn’t afford to help her directly yet, as he knew that missing the orb now would an it would be much harder to find again in the future.

This orb had its own consciousness, and next ti it would likely be much more elusive.

“Don’t let it escape!” Zhongren urged.

Gu Simu nodded coldly, her eyes flashing with a deadly light.

She wasn’t planning on doing this alone, though—she had soone watching her back.

Her gaze shifted to the sky, and she spoke coolly, “Father, lend a hand!”

In the sky, Gu Lan, who had been standing there watching, smiled faintly upon hearing his daughter’s words.

“That girl…” He chuckled softly.

With a gentle movent, his energy surged forth.

He raised his hand, and the scene of the Dark World appeared before him.

Without wasting any more ti, he waved his hand, and a golden light shot down from the sky.

Gu Simu imdiately felt the power surge.

She took a step forward, and the heavens shook with the force of her stride.

The golden light enveloped the entire sky.

The orb, sensing the energy, instinctively tried to flee.

But under the influence of Gu Lan’s power, it was no match for his strength.

It couldn’t escape, not this ti.

Gu Simu, now calm, smiled faintly.

She walked toward the orb, which was still struggling to break free.

But it was futile—the orb had no more chance of escaping.

“This should have been done sooner,” Gu Simu muttered, her energy continuing to flow freely.

“Wasting my ti…”

Gu Lan watched quietly from above, a faint smile on his face.

Now that his daughter had secured the orb, it was ti for him to lend his assistance.

He once again tapped into his imnse power, and Gu Simu, feeling it, paused for a mont.

Then, a smile of gratitude appeared on her face.

“Thank you, Father!” she said softly.

As her words left her lips, the orb lted into her body, its energy quickly rging with hers.

At first, there was so discomfort, but soon the energy settled, and she absorbed it fully.

With that, Gu Simu felt her power grow stronger, and she knew this treasure would prove invaluable to her in the future.
