Chapter 921: One Person is Enough
Gu Lan was about to speak again, but he was interrupted by a single sentence from Gu Simu.
“Daddy has already expended too much. Leave the rest to .”
How could Gu Lan not understand the thoughts of his baby girl, Gu Simu?
But this fellow Chi Yang wasn’t so simple—he must have co prepared.
Gu Lan wanted to say more, but Gu Simu had already unleashed her aura.
Not only did she channel her true qi, but a layer of soul power surged around her body as well.
Seeing her like this, Gu Lan was utterly shocked.
“Kiddo, you!”
“The power Daddy taught before—I’ve already mastered it. This power is indeed formidable!”
A faint smile appeared on Gu Simu’s face as she swung the Hamr of Evergreen Pine forward.
Everything that needed to be said had been said. Now it was ti to act.
True qi flowed into the Hamr of Evergreen Pine.
With a single swing of the hamr, Gu Simu caused the surrounding space to collapse into oblivion.
Witnessing such a ferocious strike, the powerhouses of the Lava Clan were equally stunned.
They didn’t dare hesitate and imdiately turned to retreat.
These fellows were certainly quick at dodging.
Yet Gu Simu’s strike failed to injure them.
However, Gu Simu had no intention of stopping there.
With a scornful laugh, she swung the Hamr of Evergreen Pine once more.
“Weren’t you all so arrogant just a mont ago? What’s this—scared already?”
“You’d better bring out your full strength, or you’ll all die.”
Gu Simu didn’t want these guys to retreat just yet, especially since she hadn’t even displayed her true power.
At this mont, Chi Yang was fuming with rage.
Nearly a hundred powerhouses from his clan were being suppressed by a re slip of a girl.
How could he swallow such an insult?
“A bunch of useless trash! What are you waiting for? Kill her!”
Chi Yang roared, his eyes blazing with fury.
At his command, the hundred Lava Clan powerhouses could no longer hesitate. One by one, they unleashed their auras.
Noticing the power radiating from them, Gu Lan couldn’t help but frown.
“Girl, be careful. They’re not simple.”
Gu Lan couldn’t resist offering a warning, to which Gu Simu nodded with a faint smile.
“Don’t worry, Daddy. They can’t hurt with this much.”
Gu Simu swung the Hamr of Evergreen Pineforward, quickly engaging the Lava Clan powerhouses in battle.
…
After hundreds of exchanges, Gu Simu had gained the upper hand entirely.
Though Chi Yang hadn’t made a move himself, the outco was already more or less decided.
He couldn’t possibly win—not unless he possessed so heaven-defying power.
Chi Yang’s face twisted with unwillingness, his grip tightening on the long spear in his hand.
But he could still weigh the situation wisely.
If he fought on now, he might very well lose his life.
Taking a step back, Chi Yang transford into a blur and vanished from the scene.
The mont he fled, Gu Simu didn’t even hesitate—she wanted to give chase.
But just as she took a step, Gu Lan blocked her with one hand.
“Girl, there’s no need to pursue.”
They had indeed gained the advantage for now, but chasing after him might not end so well.
If things went poorly, there could even be an unexpected twist.
Gu Simu’s face showed her reluctance, but in the end, she withdrew the step she’d taken.
Since Gu Lan had spoken, she’d let Chi Yang off for now.
But the next ti they t, she wouldn’t show rcy, nor would she give Chi Yang another chance to escape.
“Let’s leave this place first.”
Gu Lan cast a cold glance at the sky before descending from the void.
This encounter had sounded an alarm for him—he needed to prepare.
If he didn’t handle it well, there might truly be an unexpected turn of events.
…
In a dim hall of the Wizard Clan, Mo Xuan knelt weakly on the ground.
His face was pale, and standing before him was none other than the Wizard God.
“Thank you, Wizard God, for lending your aid.”
He knew full well that if the Wizard God hadn’t acted in ti, he’d already be a ghost under Chi Yang’s spear.
The Wizard God gazed at him impassively, casually raising a hand. A streak of blood-red light shot into Mo Xuan’s mind.
Sensing this power, Mo Xuan couldn’t help but frown.
But before he could speak, the Wizard God said softly,
“Go recover. You’ve worked hard today!”
Hearing this, Mo Xuan didn’t dare delay. With a deeply respectful bow, he withdrew.
He was gravely injured today and couldn’t afford to wait any longer—he needed to focus on recovering quickly.
With the Wizard God’s assistance, this recovery wouldn’t be too difficult for him.
It wouldn’t take long before he was back to full strength.
After he disappeared, the Wizard God turned his gaze toward the clouds.
Gradually, a aningful, cold smile crept onto his face.
“I never imagined you’d refined this power to such a degree.”
“Don’t worry—this power will be mine sooner or later.”
The Wizard God murmured to himself, a greedy smile spreading across his face.
The only reason he hadn’t moved against Gu Lan yet was that Gu Lan still had so use to him. He was plotting his final step.
Inside the imperial palace of Jing Nation, Gu Lan’s expression was grave. The crowd below remained silent, not a single person daring to speak.
Though they hadn’t participated in the recent battle, they had still felt the terror of that power.
And they knew full well that if it ca to a fight, they might not be a match.
“Trouble will only grow from here. All of you…”
Gu Lan didn’t finish his sentence, but his aning was clear enough.
The first to speak was Xue Lengyan. The mont Gu Lan’s voice trailed off, Xue Lengyan said calmly,
“If they want a fight, then we’ll give them one to the end.”
Reconciliation was no longer possible at this point.
They’d fight first. If they couldn’t win, they’d figure sothing else out later.
Following Xue Lengyan’s words, Gu Simu and the others nodded in agreent.
Their resolve was indeed firm, but Gu Lan still harbored concerns.
After mulling it over repeatedly, he swallowed the words he’d ant to say.
Even if he spoke them now, it wouldn’t change anything.
In that case, it was better to wait until trouble arose later to speak.
“Everyone, make the most of your ti to cultivate. If you have any needs, feel free to co to anyti.”
Leaving those words behind, Gu Lan didn’t linger there.
He vanished from the spot in an instant. It had been several days since he’d last seen Mu Yuyan—how was her progress coming along?
Monts later, Gu Lan arrived at Mu Yuyan’s chambers.
As soon as he stopped, he sensed the wild aura within.
Frosty light glimred around, and the true qi had grown exceptionally dense.
Seeing this, Gu Lan couldn’t help but frown.
His expression tightened as he quickly stepped forward.
At that mont, Mu Yuyan was imrsed in that power, her aura still steadily intensifying.
After a glance, Gu Lan’s face showed confusion.
Mu Yuyan’s aura fluctuated—wild one mont, calm the next—leaving him unsure of how to proceed.
While Gu Lan was still puzzling over it, Mu Yuyan’s aura subsided.
Spotting Gu Lan’s figure, a trace of confusion crossed her face as well.
“When did you get here?”
“Just a little while ago. Why has your power beco like this?”
He’d expected Mu Yuyan to explain, but when his question landed, she gave a mysterious smile.
“I can’t tell you just yet.”
Mu Yuyan played coy, leaving Gu Lan completely baffled.
But he didn’t press further.
If Mu Yuyan wasn’t willing to say, no amount of asking would help.
“Be extra careful these next few days. I don’t want that trouble reaching this place.”
“Don’t worry, I have ways to protect myself.”
“Oh, right—this is yours. Take it back!”
