Chapter 865: Defeat of the Wizard Clan Powerhouse
As long as he doesn't encounter someone like Bai Ze or Chaos again, Gu Lan was confident that he could handle anyone and would definitely be able to buy Qing'er enough time.
With his power enveloping the area, Qing'er began to absorb the energy from the Ancient Holy Flower. As time passed, the flower gradually merged into her body. Gu Lan, on the other hand, had no issues and began contemplating the situation from the side.
The power within the Ancient Holy Flower was immense, yet Qing'er seemed completely unaffected. What surprised Gu Lan the most was that he could not even gauge Qing'er's level of strength. He had no idea how powerful she truly was. His face was filled with astonishment and confusion. Despite his doubts, he didn't dare to interrupt her. After all, all their hopes now rested on Qing'er.
……
In the Jing Nation's palace, the atmosphere was tense and uneasy. Gu Simu, Zhongren, and Ding True Man all wore grim expressions.
"Mother, if we keep waiting like this, it will only be disadvantageous to us," Gu Simu said. "We should act now, preventing them from having any time to react."
Gu Simu's suggestion was supported by Zhongren and Ding True Man, but Mu Yuyan shook her head.
"No, they came prepared," she said. "The Wizard Clan has been becoming increasingly active lately. I am very concerned."
However, Mu Yuyan had no choice. If they broke their alliance now, not only would they be in danger, but the Blood Clan would suffer as well. According to Xue Lengyan, they could only wait until Gu Lan returned.
Although rumors outside claimed that Gu Lan had died, Xue Lengyan believed that Gu Lan could not have fallen so easily. Mu Yuyan also trusted that Gu Lan was still alive, but some things were simply out of her control.
The Hongmeng Sword had returned, yet Gu Lan was still nowhere to be found.
"Prepare yourselves. Don't be careless," Mu Yuyan ordered, her gaze turning to Ding True Man.
Noticing her look, Ding True Man respectfully nodded.
"Be extra cautious of the Reincarnate Clan's experts. We cannot let them have any opportunities," Mu Yuyan continued.
Mu Yuyan had little concern about others, but the Reincarnate Clan was left behind by Gu Lan's forceful action. If these people betrayed them, the consequences would be disastrous. They would be caught between two fronts. The Reincarnate Clan was also strong, and if they made a move, the chances of success were slim.
"Rest assured, if they dare to make a move, we will make sure they die here," Ding True Man replied confidently. With that, he turned and disappeared.
There was no need to wait any longer. The outcome was uncertain, so it was better to be prepared for the worst.
"Little girl, go with him," Ding True Man instructed.
Ding True Man was the strongest among them, but he was still limited. If the Wizard Clan intervened, he might not be able to handle everything on his own.
Gu Simu understood that this was not the time for impulsive decisions. It was better to deal with these enemies quickly and resolve the situation.
With a burst of energy, Gu Simu followed Ding True Man.
It didn't take long before they arrived at the Royal School's exterior. Gu Simu suddenly felt something was wrong.
Despite the Royal School being on high alert, it shouldn't have been this quiet.
Gu Simu halted, and Ding True Man turned in surprise.
"Young Lord?" he asked.
Before Ding True Man could say anything more, Gu Simu pulled out the Hammer of Evergreen Pine.
"We're in trouble. Senior, leave now," Gu Simu said urgently.
Ding True Man was momentarily stunned but didn't hesitate. He immediately activated his Rule power.
"Go ahead, Young Lord. I'll handle them," Ding True Man said, swinging his hand and summoning hundreds of golden lights in the sky.
"Destruction Gold Wheel, fall!"
With a roar, Ding True Man's immense power shattered the surrounding space. He forced out dozens of hidden figures.
Looking around, Ding True Man's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
"They've been hiding well," he muttered. He had thought trouble would come slowly, but these individuals had already begun to act. Since they had already made their move, there was no mercy.
The figures before them were all powerful experts from the Wizard Clan. They were strong and well-prepared. As Ding True Man was about to strike, Gu Simu stepped forward.
"I'll handle them," Gu Simu said coldly, her eyes flashing with killing intent.
Ding True Man was about to protest, but before he could speak, Gu Simu had already transformed into a blur, charging forward.
The Hammer of Evergreen Pine appeared out of nowhere, striking down and shaking the entire sky.
The Wizard Clan experts, though able to dodge the attack, were all injured. Their faces turned grim, and their expressions were heavy with concern. They hadn't expected Gu Simu to be so strong, and they had no intention of retreating.
The group of them stabilized their positions a hundred feet away, blood-colored light emanating from their bodies.
Seeing their energy, Ding True Man frowned.
Their strength was beyond his expectations. He worried that Gu Simu might be in danger.
"Young Lord, let me handle this. These people are no joke," Ding True Man urged.
He had thought Gu Simu would back down, but he had underestimated her determination.
Gu Lan had warned her, and Gu Simu was not one to easily listen to anyone, especially not Ding True Man.
"I can handle this!" Gu Simu said confidently.
If they dared to attack, Gu Simu was certain she could defeat them. In the past, she might have hesitated, but now she was no longer the same person. These mere ants were no match for her.
With a cold look, she released her full power, and before the Wizard Clan experts could strike, she disappeared in an instant.
Under her relentless assault, the Wizard Clan experts began to fall behind.
"Boom!"
With a loud explosion, the entire area trembled, and everything around them was plunged into darkness.
Gu Simu stood unmoving in the sky, with three Wizard Clan experts beneath her feet.
The remaining few, standing a hundred feet away, were filled with terror. Their eyes were filled with fear and caution. They hadn't expected Gu Simu's power to be so overwhelming.
They had originally thought they could overpower her with their combined efforts, but instead, they were losing.
They knew that if the battle continued, they would likely meet their end.
"Your strength is impressive. Next time, we'll see who's stronger," one of them said before quickly fleeing.
Gu Simu didn't want to let them escape, but as she took a step forward, Ding True Man blocked her path.
"Young Lord, don't," he warned.
Although the enemies had fled, it was still dangerous. They needed to be cautious. If they were tricked or ambushed, they would regret it.
Ding True Man's face was serious, and hearing his words, Gu Simu reluctantly restrained her energy.
This time, Gu Simu didn't act as stubbornly as before. There had been too many rumors outside, and her heart had been affected.
