839: The Situation Grows More Suspicious 839: The Situation Grows More Suspicious “Very well, then co with to the Jing Nation’s Imperial Palace!”
Now was the ti to make use of people, so killing them was out of the question.
However, Ding True Man’s earlier words were not a joke!
He was carrying out Gu Lan’s orders, and it was perfectly reasonable to kill these people if Gu Lan commanded it.
With that, Ding True Man turned and disappeared into the air.
The Reincarnate Clan mbers wore dark expressions, but said nothing and simply followed him.
As they advanced, Changsheng’s gloomy face was filled with killing intent.
The events of the day were a humiliation to him, and he vowed to take revenge.
—
In a dim, empty void, Gu Lan stopped.
He was now only ten thousand feet away from the Ancient God Clan’s location.
At first, he thought he might have misjudged the situation.
But as he moved forward, the feeling only intensified, and the aura beca clearer.
With a cold gaze, he unsheathed the Hongng Sword.
Channeling his true energy into it, the Hongng Sword split into thousands of sword lights that filled the sky, their terrifying aura spreading in all directions.
“If you don’t co out now, don’t bla for being impolite!” Gu Lan’s cold voice echoed, but there was no response.
At this mont, the killing intent in Gu Lan’s eyes flared uncontrollably.
If the person refused to co out, he would make them regret it.
With a single slash, the thousands of sword lights descended, causing a violent explosion that tore the space apart.
In the distance, a shadow appeared, moving with incredible speed.
Gu Lan had already sensed him, and there was no way he would allow this person to escape.
With a light step, Gu Lan blocked the figure’s path.
“This little strength, and you dare to follow ?
Speak, who sent you?”
The figure in front of him was clad in a black robe, and his face was hidden.
Gu Lan wasn’t interested in his identity but was more curious about who had sent him.
If he didn’t speak, he would have to leave.
Hearing Gu Lan’s voice laced with killing intent, the man’s face turned pale, and he took two steps back.
Seeing that there was a deadlock, Gu Lan’s icy expression hardened.
He lunged forward, striking directly at the man’s face.
“If you won’t speak, then I’ll send you on your way!”
Gu Lan’s speed was so fast that the man was shocked.
Without hesitation, he quickly retreated.
“Master Gu, spare !
I was sent by the young Lord to assist you!”
Halting, the man imdiately began to speak.
Gu Lan’s strike had already made him realize the harsh reality: he was no match for Gu Lan.
If he continued to resist, he would certainly die.
Originally, he thought the man would hold his ground, but to his surprise, the plea for rcy ca swiftly.
Since the man had spoken, Gu Lan decided not to kill him.
He retracted the Hongng Sword, but his true energy still surged.
“But what about Mo Xuan?” the man asked, though he hadn’t fully spoken.
Gu Lan sneered, then coldly said, “It has nothing to do with him.
Don’t follow again, or don’t bla for being impolite!”
With that, Gu Lan turned and started walking away.
There was no need to escalate things with Mo Xuan just yet, and Gu Lan had no desire to involve himself further with the Wizard Clan.
He had expected the man to take the hint and leave, but just two steps forward, the man followed him again.
Gu Lan turned his cold gaze towards him, but before he could say anything, the man spoke first.
“I am Shadow from the Wizard Clan.”
“If I return now, the young Lord won’t let off.
I beg Master Gu to allow to stay and assist you!”
“Then that’s your business,” Gu Lan replied, not wanting to waste any more words with him.
With a single step, he was already thousands of feet away.
He thought that would be enough to shake him off, but the man kept following, maintaining a distance of a few hundred feet behind him, unwilling to leave.
Gu Lan, losing patience, turned with an icy look.
“Are you sure you want to follow ?”
“Of course.
I must complete the young Lord’s command,” the man answered confidently.
“Fine, but you must listen to along the way,” Gu Lan said, his face showing a cryptic smile.
It appeared that he was moving forward, but in the blink of an eye, he flashed behind the man.
The man froze for a mont, and then his mind went blank.
He looked at Gu Lan with a mix of shock and apprehension.
He had initially thought of removing Gu Lan’s soul mark, but now realized the vast gap between them.
Before he could say anything, Gu Lan placed a hand on his shoulder.
The overwhelming true energy spread out, causing the man to kneel before him.
His face turned grim as a sense of dread filled his eyes.
“What…
what do you want?”
“Since you insist on following , I’ll leave you sothing to rember by,” Gu Lan said casually.
The man didn’t even have ti to react before a surge of true energy entered his body.
He felt a strange new power coursing through him, but he had no idea where it ca from.
Before he could even ponder the source of the power, Gu Lan withdrew his hand from his shoulder.
“Since you want to follow , let’s go.”
Gu Lan said this calmly before turning toward the distance.
The man, still confused, dared not hesitate and quickly followed.
—
After a while, they arrived at a dark and desolate void.
This place was eerily silent, with no discernible energy.
Gu Lan furrowed his brows.
He was beginning to doubt whether the Ancient God Clan was truly here.
Though he had fought against them before, he didn’t know exactly where their base was.
While Gu Lan pondered, the man spoke with a questioning expression.
“Master Gu, why are we here?”
“You know this place?” Gu Lan asked in surprise, looking at him.
The man nodded.
“I’ve been here once while training.
This is the location of the Ancient God Clan.”
From his expression, it seed he was not lying.
Gu Lan’s inner thoughts stirred.
He was now torn between entering and staying away.
The lack of any discernible aura made him wary.
He feared stepping inside might lead to danger, but if he didn’t go in, the Blood Demon inside him could not be removed.
“I must enter.
Will you co with ?” Gu Lan asked.
The man hesitated but then agreed after a mont of contemplation.
“I’ll go with you.”
Gu Lan wasn’t particularly thrilled, but he didn’t object.
Since the man was coming along, there would be an extra set of hands, at least.
They moved forward, and Gu Lan had only taken a few steps when powerful fluctuations in true energy erupted around them.
Looking up, he saw a powerful formation manifest in the air, and within it, a faint Golden Crow aura.
Though weak, Gu Lan still detected it.
“This guy again!” Gu Lan’s face changed as he summoned the Hongng Sword.
