Chapter 580 580: Killing in the Mortal Realm
[Destiny: Purple]
[Fate: Entered Azure Cloud Sect at a young age, lived in ignorance, became the sole surviving junior disciple after Qing Yunzi's departure, obtained opportunities for revenge but lost his beloved, a life filled with misfortune.
Gu Lan left behind a technique because the little Daoist boy turned out to possess a rare purple Destiny, worthy of being called half a child of Destiny. He recalled that Daoist Yunlong had suggested he recruit a few disciples from Tianji Pavilion when he had the chance, so he left a legacy and created a good connection. After all, he planned to stay in this place for several years.
Arriving at a certain mountain peak, Gu Lan pointed his fingers together to form a sword, and with the sword aura sweeping through, he opened up a simple cave dwelling. He then set up various formations in the cave, particularly those to conceal heavenly secrets. After a long time, he finally stopped, pulled out a bunch of God-Tier pills, casually tossed a handful into his mouth, and began meditating to recover.
Time passed like water; seven days later.
Gu Lan had regained one percent of his strength and confirmed that Divine Son Arthur was not in this world. Only then did he have time to activate the Divine Space Ring.
"It's been so long since I've contacted my wife and Mumu; they must be worried sick!"
Gu Lan activated the Divine Space Ring, expecting to receive messages from his wife and daughter immediately. But to his surprise, after activating it, he didn't receive any messages.
This was a bit awkward. After all, he had crafted a communication treasure for Mu Yuyan and Gu Simu that allowed them to send messages directly to the Divine Space Ring. Now that the Divine Space Ring was activated, Mu Yuyan and Gu Simu should be able to notice, yet there were no messages...
After waiting for a while, he finally received the first message. However, it wasn't from his wife or daughter, but from Chen Feng. That guy also had a communication treasure connected to the Divine Space Ring and was always eager to send Gu Lan messages, which had annoyed him before but now brought him some joy.
"Master, you really are fine; that's great!"
The message was straightforward and heartfelt, just Chen Feng's style. This indicated that he had likely come to terms with Elder Nightfall's passing.
"Master!"
"You led Divine Son Arthur away, and immediately after, my wife and Miss Shangguan launched a counterattack against Bright Clan and extraterrestrial entities with Lanyan Royal School and Nine Heavens Alliance!"
"People from the Immortal and Demon Realms also came to assist; things are going well in the Immortal Realm!"
"Just a little while ago, I led a team to take down a sect occupied by Bright Clan."
Chen Feng's messages were filled with excitement, detailing the recent happenings in the Immortal Realm.
Gu Lan quietly listened. He recalled that when his main body had been transmitted through Lotus Phala's temporal power, he had mentioned to Mu Yuyan that he would find a way to hold Divine Son Arthur for some time. That had only been a way to reassure his wife; he never expected her to actually believe him.
"You really had faith in me!"
Gu Lan chuckled, then saw another message come through the Divine Space Ring.
"Master, I just received news that my wife and Miss Shangguan supported Cloud Clan and have expelled all Bright Clan and extraterrestrial entities from Shentian World; Bright Clan has suffered a great defeat!"
"We won again!"
Chen Feng's tone was extremely excited, and Gu Lan couldn't help but feel a surge of happiness as well.
However, his wife still hadn't sent any messages, leaving him feeling a little sour. But at that moment, he suddenly noticed that the Divine Space Ring erupted with intense light, and the surrounding space began to tremble violently.
Someone was attempting to cross realms to track the Divine Space Ring for a cross-border transmission. That person was, of course, Mu Yuyan.
"Master, say something! You're not asking for forgiveness from my wife because you didn't report back safely, are you?"
"Master, I have to say, you're too careless. I heard that Divine Son Arthur sustained serious injuries and immediately went into closed-door training upon returning to the heavenly realm. I didn't see you send any messages..."
Chen Feng continued to send messages through the Divine Space Ring.
But Gu Lan had no time to read those anymore. Mu Yuyan had already crossed realms and appeared right in front of him.
Surrounded by swirling ice and snow, the Icy Phoenix Hairpin glimmered with blue light, and in her hand was the Frost Cloud Condensation Sword, still stained with the blood of enemies, radiating an overwhelming aura of killing intent.
"Honey... listen to me!"
Gu Lan felt a surge of panic, but before he could finish, Mu Yuyan used her movement technique to instantly close the distance between them.
Their eyes met, breaths palpable, and just the slightest movement could bring their noses to touch.
"Honey, please let me explain..."
Seeing Mu Yuyan's slightly reddened eyes, Gu Lan became even more flustered. Then, he noticed Mu Yuyan raising her jade hand, preparing to strike his face.
It's over!
She's really angry this time!
Gu Lan silently sighed and resigned himself to closing his eyes. He knew this time he had let his guard down, misjudging Divine Son Arthur's departure time and being overly cautious, which prevented him from promptly reassuring his wife.
Under such circumstances, it was only natural for her to be upset. Just as Gu Lan braced himself for his wife's punishment, instead of pain, he felt a gentle caress on his face.
"Darling!"
"Next time, don't leave me behind!"
Gu Lan opened his eyes to see Mu Yuyan's tear-filled gaze.
This was the first time he had seen his wife look like this, leaving him momentarily at a loss for what to do. But Mu Yuyan provided the answer.
As tears threatened to fall, Mu Yuyan didn't give Gu Lan a chance to see her cry and directly embraced him before kissing him.
This kiss was dominant, intense, passionate, and seemed to last forever!
At first, Gu Lan was completely bewildered, caught off guard. But soon, he regained his senses and sought to regain control.
Unable to win the war of words, Gu Lan decided to focus on other matters, ultimately managing to turn the tide and take control of the situation.
A day later.
"Honey, I promise this will never happen again!"
Gu Lan knelt on the Azure Lotus of Merits, raising his hands in a vow.
Mu Yuyan shot him a cold glance and turned her head away.
"Men's words are nothing but lies."
She would no longer believe him.
Seeing this, Gu Lan was at a loss. It was the first time he had seen his wife like this; he truly lacked experience.
But promises meant nothing. Gu Lan decided to express his sincerity through actions. Since one person recovering was too slow, and now that his wife was here, he could expedite the recovery process.
A cold smile crept across Gu Lan's face as he quietly pulled out a Sky-Fixing Pill and popped it into his mouth.
After that, another seven days passed. Gu Lan and Mu Yuyan enjoyed a rare period of peaceful "training" time together.
On this day, Azure Cloud Sect completed the construction of a new Daoist temple on the flattened mountaintop. Qing Yunzi had even broken through his current realm, advancing further, radiating vitality.
But even more astonishing to the disciples of Azure Cloud Sect was the fact that their youngest junior disciple had progressed rapidly in just half a month, nearly catching up to Qing Yunzi's cultivation level.
What do you think?
