My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty

Blood God had almost worn out his tongue, but Xuan Feng's expression remained calm, still adorned with a faint smile.

"You're not wrong, but this doesn't seem to benefit me at all."

He had indeed entertained such naive thoughts before, but not anymore.

Over the years of cultivation, he had come to understand something—

Once the Great Path qi has chosen its inheritor, no one can change that.

Even gods had no right to seize it.

Even if they were to kill Gu Lan, the result would still be the same.

The Great Path qi would dissipate and search for the next inheritor.

If they weren't careful, the Great Path qi could vanish for nearly a thousand years.

However, among all the gods, Xuan Feng was the only one who saw this clearly.

The others, driven by their selfish desires, wanted to claim this power for themselves.

Only by doing so could they create and alter rules.

Blood God noticed that Xuan Feng was unmoved, and he didn't finish his last sentence.

"Since you've made your choice, I won't disturb you further. Farewell!"

With those words, Blood God disappeared in a flash.

Rather than waste time talking, he thought it was better to handle some real matters.

He had said what needed to be said, but since Xuan Feng wasn't moved, he could do nothing more.

Watching Blood God's figure fade, Xuan Feng sneered lightly and disappeared into the shadows.

As for this person, he didn't care, nor did he have the energy to bother with him.

---

Blood God moved swiftly, and in an instant, he arrived in a dark void.

The moment he stopped, he sensed a thick, oppressive aura from afar.

With just a glance, he immediately knew who it was.

"The mighty Evil God, so even you have times of embarrassment."

As the voice echoed, a figure stepped out from the blood mist—it was Evil God.

Evil God's expression was not good; he glanced at Blood God coldly.

"Sealed for a thousand years, and yet you're still alive?"

"Don't worry, I haven't crossed this boundary. I won't die."

Blood God's voice was calm, and his aura remained steady.

But deep inside, he was pondering something else.

Before Evil God could speak, Blood God continued.

"The Great Path qi you're so interested in isn't in the Immortal Realm anymore. You should head to the Human World."

Upon hearing this, Evil God's face darkened, and intense killing intent flashed in his eyes.

"Why tell me this?"

"Because I want to use you."

"If you can kill him, I stand to gain from it as well. Why not help each other?"

Blood God had made his intentions clear, but Evil God didn't get angry. Instead, his heart wavered.

"Since that's the case, why don't you come with me and see?"

"I'm also curious to know who the one wielding the Great Path qi is."

Evil God had known that the person was in the Land of Ruin, but he had intended to barge in until Xuan Feng stopped him.

This time, he wouldn't make the same mistake, nor would he repeat such a thing.

Blood God agreed readily, his plan simple—use Evil God to push Gu Lan to the edge.

Initially, he had considered dealing with Gu Lan himself, but after careful thought, he abandoned that idea.

If he went after Gu Lan personally, he would expend too much energy.

After all, Gu Lan's power wasn't weak, and he had the Great Path qi.

It was better to watch from the sidelines.

Evil God's strength was already formidable.

If he could strike, Gu Lan might not be able to defend himself.

Plus, Blood God wanted to see how much Evil God had improved over the years.

"Well then, follow me!"

---

The two of them released their auras, and the sky shook. In an instant, they vanished into the distance.

Their speed was immense; within seconds, they disappeared without a trace.

In just a few moments, they arrived at the junction between the Immortal Realm and the Human World.

However, they were both caught in thought, unsure whether they should move forward.

As Evil God hesitated, Blood God fanned the flames.

"Since we're already here, aren't you going to go?"

His words were effective.

As soon as he finished speaking, a cold light flashed in Evil God's eyes.

"Am I the type to fear death?"

"Today, I'll go see what kind of strength he has."

The moment they entered the Human World, Gu Lan sensed their presence.

In the Jing Nation Palace, Gu Lan suddenly opened his eyes.

A cold light flashed from his eyes in an instant.

Gu Lan had known they would come here, but he hadn't expected them to be so quick.

Now that they were here, he couldn't afford to neglect the situation.

His expression darkened slightly as the Hongmeng Sword materialized.

Just as Gu Lan was about to step forward, Gu Simu appeared beside him.

A hint of anticipation remained on his face, and the Hammer of Evergreen Pine was tightly gripped in his hand.

Seeing Gu Simu's expression, Gu Lan immediately sensed trouble.

Before Gu Simu could speak, Gu Lan spoke with a neutral tone.

"It's just a small problem, Father can handle it."

Thinking his words would dissuade Gu Simu, Gu Lan was surprised when his son didn't budge.

"I know Father's strength well. I won't intervene; I'll just watch from the side."

Gu Lan didn't believe a word of what Gu Simu said.

Whether or not he would intervene was known to Gu Lan, and now wasn't the time to argue with him.

"Then promise me, just watch and don't interfere."

Gu Lan relented, and Gu Simu nodded eagerly.

"Don't worry, Father. I'll keep my word."

Following Gu Lan's lead, it wasn't long before the two of them arrived in the void.

The moment they stopped, a figure appeared in the distance.

Because they were too far apart, Gu Lan couldn't make out who it was.

Although he didn't know who or when this person had arrived, he couldn't be bothered to care.

As the figure drew closer, Gu Lan's expression darkened, and a murderous gleam flickered in his eyes.

The outcome was already clear—this person was coming for him.

Evil God stood hundreds of feet away, his icy gaze locking onto Gu Lan.

"So it's you, the one with the Great Path qi. I wonder how strong you are."

Evil God wore a strange smile, his aura now fully revealed.

He had been stopped by Xuan Feng before, but now Xuan Feng was absent.

"The energy's not bad, but it's a pity you haven't mastered it all."

"Otherwise, I might actually be impressed."

Blood God smirked, watching from the sidelines.

He didn't plan to intervene; he was here just to observe how things would play out.

Most importantly, he wanted to know if he could push Gu Lan to his limits.

Only when the Great Path qi fully merged with Gu Lan would it be useful to them.

Otherwise, everything was just empty talk.

Evil God's power was indeed formidable,

but Gu Lan didn't move an inch. Instead, he swung his Hongmeng Sword toward the sky.

The sword light erupted, tearing the heavens asunder.

As Gu Lan's power descended, Evil God's figure also burst out with thousands of blood shadows.
