My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty

If outsiders were to hear the words of the vice-dean at this moment, they would undoubtedly be greatly astonished.

The headmaster of the Liangyi Academy, believed by the world to be in seclusion, had actually departed to the west on a crane last year. The mention of the "demonic creature" was a confidential matter known only to the five vice-deans.

"It's not impossible! Master once said that the demonic creature is a fusion of another world's devil and the Blazing Sun... cough, with that person. Even though sealed, its strength is still growing!"

"Master has been depleting his lifespan to strengthen the seal, but it seems challenging to counteract it!"

"Alas, that fellow was already at the pinnacle of the Emperor Realm before being sealed. These years have passed, and..."

As the discussion in the hall reached this point, only a faint sigh lingered. The pinnacle of the Emperor Realm might have grown into a transcendent realm not belonging to this world.

If the headmaster were alive, perhaps he could use the strengthened seal to restrict it. But now, they, as a group, had not yet stepped into the Emperor Realm. Even if combined, they felt powerless!

"In that case, why put those young cultivators inside?" the vice-dean with a more impatient temperament questioned.

"Younger brother, when Master was on his deathbed, you were traveling outside and might not know. This is what he meant."

"Why?"

"Master said that if Heaven Mountain Secret Realm lacks the vitality of living beings, the demonic creatures inside will break the seal faster... So, when the secret realm opens, everything should remain the same. Not only should we not stop living beings from entering, but we should also relax restrictions even more!"

"I see."

"Brothers! Do not forget the original purpose of the establishment of our Liangyi Academy... If that demonic creature breaks free one day, we must inherit Master's mission, at any cost, and suppress it!"

"Yes!"

...

When Gu Lan opened his eyes again, the sight was filled with a grayish-white mist, saturated with a heavy and oppressive atmosphere. Truly an invisible environment...

Gu Lan took out the deer skin map and, based on the faintly visible contours nearby, roughly determined his location.

"About ten miles to the east, there should be a giant snake's nest. Let's start hunting from here!"

"During this time, keep an eye on Tan'er and Zhongren's situations..."

...

Meanwhile, in other parts of the secret realm!

"What the heck, why can't I see anything at all?!"

"I thought it was an opportunity presented before us to pick casually, but damn it... Several of my companions who came in together haven't fallen together!"

"The owner of the footprints in the soil looks even bigger than our sect's guardian beast. So, this is what they mean by inheriting the savage legacy!?"

"Oh my god, this environment is a billion times more terrifying than I imagined!"

...

Many young cultivators, though talented, lacked practical experience, having grown up in ivory towers. Seeing giant beasts passing overhead and the eerie unknown environment, they couldn't help feeling anxious!

In a dragon-ridge-like mountain range, three or four Blood Slaughter Sect apprentices, who were disoriented, regained their senses.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Is this the secret realm? What kind of place is this?"

"There's no chance anywhere, just a sense of danger everywhere. Could it be that those five old guys from the Liangyi Academy are deceiving people?"

"Hey! Look over there, a beautiful girl!"

"..."

With the last voice, several pairs of eyes focused on Lin Tan'er, who was exploring the environment not far away. All eyes lit up.

"What a beautiful girl! Even the courtesans near our Blood Slaughter Sect can't compare to her!"

"Brothers, it seems like she doesn't have any teammates!?"

"Oh damn, it's true... A heaven-sent opportunity! As soon as we enter the secret realm, our Blood Slaughter brothers get to taste this kind of top-notch quality, even if there's no opportunity, it's not in vain that we came!"

A few individuals wore lecherous smiles as they approached Lin Tan'er, encircling her.

"Are you fellow cultivators from the outside?" Lin Tan'er felt that the atmosphere was somewhat off and hesitated for a moment before asking.

"We're here to bring warmth to you!"

"Hahaha, the secret realm is so dangerous; why not first come into this uncle's embrace?"

The Blood Slaughter Sect was not known for its propriety in the first place. In this "no man's land," they didn't bother disguising themselves, revealing their true nature without restraint.

"So, you guys are the bad guys!" Lin Tan'er's delicate face changed, and she said coldly.

Despite appearing delicate due to a prolonged illness, she was ultimately the golden Destiny! The main Fate!

After training under Gu Lan's guidance for more than half a month, her current strength was more than enough to handle such situations.

The Heavenly Maiden of Fate possessed extraordinary combat talent; otherwise, how could she be called The Heavenly Maiden of Fate?

She calmly drew her long sword, casting a cold gaze at them, preparing for her first battle after leaving Gu Lan.

"Oh! This little girl dares to resist?"

"You probably don't know that we are all at the pinnacle of the Nurture Realm. Even experts in the Nature Realm would find it difficult to contend with us when we join forces!"

"I advise you to behave, or else, when we get angry, people might end up dead."

The apprentices of the Blood Slaughter Sect closed in step by step, their eyes gleaming with greed.

At this moment, Lin Tan'er exerted force with her jade arm, calmly shaking her long sword. Following the flow of the Heavenly Dark Phoenix Art, an extremely strong icy breath burst from her body.

In an instant, all the Blood Slaughter Sect members were sent flying! The one with the lowest cultivation even vomited blood directly, eyes widened in shock. He looked at Lin Tan'er for a moment before fainting!

"What?"

"Are you... are you a King Realm!?"

"Run fast!"

...

At this moment, Gu Lan arrived at the entrance of a cave ten miles away. The cave was pitch-black, with a height of three zhang. If it were in the outside world, no one could imagine that it was actually a snake's cave. Currently, it emitted a hissing breath from within.

"The giant snake guards a millennium spirit herb. In the past, Tianji Pavilion cultivators would only take a distant glance and bypass it. If they were careless, even a King Realm genius disciple could be swallowed in an instant, possessing strength comparable to the peak of the Emperor Realm..."

Gu Lan looked at the introduction on the deerskin paper, sighed lightly, and said, "I wonder if the millennium spirit herb is still here. However, encountering it is fate, so let me rid you of this monster."

With a flip of his palm, Gu Lan took out the Sky-Cutting Dragon Roar Spear. He raised it and threw it into the mountain cave like tossing a wine jar.

Swish! The sound of breaking wind and the roar of a dragon resonated in the moment the spear shot out. In response, violent rolling and roaring echoed from the snake's nest in the cave.

Boom!

For miles around, one could feel the intense shaking as if a dragon was flipping over in that place!

The young cultivators looked up, their faces turning pale, revealing a look of panic.

"How could such a commotion suddenly occur? It seems like the nearby dormant giant beast has awakened."

"Oh my god! Who came up and awakened such a terrifying existence? What should we do? Will it come over?"

"It's better to hide; I heard from the elders that this kind of giant beast is at least at the Emperor Realm, something we can't contend with!"

The apprentices exploring the surroundings quickly found cover, afraid that the next moment a giant snake would appear, and its forked tongue would reveal their own shadows.

However!

At the entrance of the giant snake's nest, Gu Lan saw its intense struggles and couldn't bear to see it suffer.

"Blame me... for not hitting the vital point; I made you suffer!"

With a swing of his hand, the Primordial Sword transformed into a stream of light and was thrown out again. The thick scales, upon touching the Primordial Sword's edge, seemed as thin as paper.

The giant snake instantly lost its breath!

The mountain returned to tranquility. A generation's peak Emperor Realm demonic beast, even without struggling out of the nest, was pressed to death inside!

Gu Lan entered a realm of cultivation for innate and acquired training, which was an absolute reduction in dimension!

After a while, Gu Lan dragged the snake's body out of the cave, and a spirit herb emitting a blue gloss appeared in his sight!

...

In the nearby mountains and forests, the young cultivators, whose legs were numb from hiding, now showed expressions of surprise and suspicion.

"Hey, why is there no movement?"

"Did the giant beast go back to sleep again? This doesn't seem possible, right?"

"Or... should we go over there and take a look from a distance?"

...
