Chapter 109 A Sword Breaking the Sea; Female Emperor Rushes to the Mountains!
"Fei'er, for now, watch over the palace. Don't return to Dulcet Pavilion temporarily. I'll go to Shuzhou with His Majesty!"
Liu Yexi hastily said, wiping a tear from the corner of her eye. She quickly consumed a pill to enhance the speed of her flying sword and flew towards Shuzhou.
In the Golden Hall, Xiao Fei'er's eyes were vacant.
She stood up slowly, a heavy sorrow evident between her brows. She clasped her hands together in prayer.
Gu Lan is trapped in the small world... You're so powerful; nothing should happen, right? Pah, pah! Master Gu, you mustn't get into trouble!
Growing up with the female Emperor, Xiao Fei'er could perceive Gu Lan's importance in the female Emperor's heart.
When the female Emperor left just now, her whole body was shaking uncontrollably.
If something happens to Gu Lan... Xiao Fei'er truly feared that Mu Yuyan might do something reckless.
...
"Your Majesty, please take care of your body," Liu Yexi caught up, stammering to offer words of comfort.
Even though she was also feeling terrible, consoling the female Emperor was the top priority. The female Emperor's reaction had completely deviated from normal!
She was still wearing the dragon robe, having completely forgotten that Gu Lan didn't know about her identity as the female Emperor.
At this moment, all she wished for was to fly to Heaven Mountain Secret Realm in one step!
"Yexi, give your speed-boosting pill to me," Mu Yuyan turned around. Her stunning face displayed a calm and terrifying expression, with faint traces of tears at the corners of her eyes.
Liu Yexi could sense the deep worry behind the female Emperor's efforts to suppress her emotions. She quickly retrieved a jade bottle from her bosom and handed it to Mu Yuyan.
Unexpectedly, Mu Yuyan disregarded the toxicity of the pill, tilting her snow-white neck and swallowing it all.
Her speed instantly soared to the extreme, leaving only a string of afterimages visible to ordinary people!
Liu Yexi: !!!
"Your Majesty, please don't do this... Sigh, wait for me, Your Majesty!"
Seeing the nearly frantic actions of the female Emperor, Liu Yexi's heart tightened.
She had to catch up quickly, not daring to hesitate for a moment.
At the same time, the leaders of many forces were alarmed by the news from Shuzhou!
Due to the departure of their young talents, they dispatched subordinates to Shuzhou to assess the situation. Countless powerful individuals gathered towards Heaven Mountain.
...
In Xiangzhou, the Great Jing.
In a general's tent, a scholar-general in white robes sat behind a desk, earnestly reviewing military affairs by candlelight.
The soldier who brought in scrolls, looking at this scholar-general, was full of admiration.
"General Lin, the demon army retreated ten miles again today. Shall we pursue them tomorrow?"
"No need to pursue. Tomorrow, there will be heavy rain, and the muddy roads won't be suitable for our cavalry operations," Lin Lu raised his head and calmly said.
Hearing this, the soldier's admiration grew.
Scholars were indeed different; they could observe celestial phenomena and discern mystical principles.
Coupled with a clear mind, they were practically divine in their use of military strategies.
No wonder the court had repeatedly promoted him.
Just a few months after joining the military, he had already risen to the position of a thousand-captain.
"Anything else?" Lin Lu asked gently.
The soldier smiled, about to say it was nothing and retreat. Suddenly, Lin Lu frowned, and the tip of his pen abruptly stopped.
"Uh, General, what's wrong with you?"
"Nothing... Just a sudden palpitation, I don't know why," Lin Lu rubbed his chest, feeling inexplicable.
"Maybe it's been too long since you returned home, and you miss your family?" the soldier joked.
"Perhaps..." Speaking of his sister, Lin Lu had indeed missed her for a long time. But with Gu Lan taking care of her, he was reassured.
"Write a reply to Brother Gu tonight. After the New Year, when the war settles down a bit, I should be able to go back and visit them."
...
At this moment, in the shattered secret realm, everywhere was filled with spatial fissures carrying hurricanes, flowing magma, and the endless sea from the beginning.
Cultivators struggled to control their flying swords in mid-air or climbed precarious peaks.
All eyes were on the tall figure at the high point.
They had already given up hope in this environment; taking another step could mean death. Who would dare to hope to return to the outside world?
But then, they saw Gu Lan, soaring in mid-air with his sword, forcefully opening a tunnel in a certain direction by unleashing sharp sword qi.
They were stunned!
If Gu Lan only wanted to go back by himself, there was no need for such trouble. Could it be that he wanted to save them?
Amidst their unease, Gu Lan's clear voice echoed within the fragmented secret realm like rolling thunder, deafening and resonant.
"I will cut open space to pave the way back to the outside. Follow my sword!"
After saying this, Gu Lan deliberately glanced at the girl standing gracefully below and the child in Daoist robes.
The former was slightly stunned, her face blushing in the reflection of the magma; the latter was excited, enthusiastically mouthing the words "brother"!
Little brother recognized him...
Gu Lan smiled faintly, not too surprised. Although these words of redemption were meant for his family, they fell on the ears of the pessimistic cultivators awaiting death, shocking them like thunder on a clear day!
They were extremely excited, even moved to tears!
"Oh my God! Consecrator is going to save us!?"
...
Under the deep and ink-like sea surface!
Inside the golden Saint Dragon Clock, the soul stared blankly at Gu Lan, who was also radiant with golden light! Merit Golden Robe!!
"You... you even have this thing?" The soul seemed to recognize it. The Merit Golden Robe was a heaven-bestowed item. Thousands of years ago, only a few saintly emperors had obtained such a thing. His extensive experience naturally made him recognize it!
"Mm." Gu Lan nodded lightly. As cautious as he was, knowing that the Endless Sea was not easy to deal with, he dared not jump without certainty.
However, he had already verified that these extremely yin and evil things would be perfectly restrained by his two magic treasures.
With the Merit Golden Robe on, he had no fear of the weak water's deathly intent!

The soul secretly swallowed his saliva! His eyes were full of fear!
Imagine if during the previous battle, Gu Lan didn't want to use the Saint Dragon Clock to capture him but directly used the Merit Golden Robe... he would probably have scattered into the wind!
"Is it here?" Gu Lan came to a palace-like staircase. On top of it was the magnificent bronze coffin seat. He asked aloud.
"Yes!" The soul shivered, appearing much more honest.
Gu Lan remained silent as he took out the Sky-Cutting Dragon Roar Spear. At this moment, the demonic energy on it had been purified. He lifted it high, aiming at the enormous base stone, and thrust the spear!
Boom, boom, boom!
In the broken sky, purple thunder danced wildly. Each bolt, as thick as a water bucket, struck down directly, cutting towards the vicinity of the bronze ancient coffin. It seemed like the world was punishing the one who stole the boundary monument!
Gu Lan remained calm and took a step back, leaving the Saint Dragon Clock in place.
The soul: !!!
"Are you trying to plot against me again?! Why!"
"You clearly didn't need to come down earlier. You lied to me, didn't you?" Gu Lan lightly curled his lips. "Now, I'll give you a little punishment. Hopefully, you'll learn your lesson."
At these words, the soul was stunned!
You even figured out that! Indeed, the one who plays tricks is you!
The thunder came in an instant!
A miserable scream echoed within the Saint Dragon Clock.
Who could imagine that the once fearsome Demon Sovereign, the current emperor, was now being tortured by Gu Lan... undergoing an electric shock therapy!
After several heavenly thunders, seeing the faint shadow inside the Saint Dragon Clock still tenaciously alive, Gu Lan sighed. Indeed, the vitality of demons and monsters was different from ordinary beings!
The foundation of the boundary monument was being destroyed. The sky seemed even more precarious, as if the next moment, everything here would turn into nothingness!
Without hesitation, Gu Lan continued to strike with his spear.
The sharp intent of the spear aimed to create a huge vortex at the seabed. Combined with the hurricanes and thunderstorms in the sky, the scene became even more terrifying, making the young cultivators who were entering the spatial tunnel shiver with fear!
...
Outside.
Liangyi Academy!
At the foot of Heaven Mountain, a considerable number of powerful individuals had gathered, most of them with cultivation in the King Realm.
Their faces looked unpleasant, clearly indicating their intention to question and seek justice!
Many precious apprentices from their sects and clans had entered the secret realm today. However, they received news that the secret realm had collapsed, and survival seemed bleak!
Even if they were not direct descendants, these were the new blood of their sects.
How could those in power not be angered? Hence, they all came to Liangyi Academy to demand an explanation!
The academy had anticipated such a situation.
The stewards, dressed in Confucian robes, descended from the mountain and warmly tried to persuade those who arrived at the gate.
"Everyone, our master has gone to the Ancestral Shrine to request guidance from the Book of Heaven and Earth. The deputy deans are also not at ease!"
"We hope for your understanding!"
As soon as the head steward spoke, he was directly criticized by many strong individuals behind.
"Understanding my foot!"
"You, people from the academy, only mentioned that there were resources and opportunities in the secret realm, so we sent our apprentices here. But the result is a mess with demonic creatures?"
"Aren't you obviously harboring evil intentions?!"
The stewards were rendered speechless by these accusations.
Fortunately, these powerful individuals from prominent families were still rational.
After hearing that the deputy deans were making efforts to rescue those in the secret realm, they didn't forcefully break into the mountain...
The leading steward had just taken a sip of water, preparing to continue persuading.
At this moment!
A golden light suddenly flew across the sky!
Everyone looked.
Mu Yuyan, dressed in a luxurious dragon robe, with an incredibly beautiful and cold face, chose to ignore the stewards and directly rushed towards the mountaintop!
The leading steward frowned, "This is the sacred land of Heaven Mountain. Who dares to trespass?"
"Get lost!"
Mu Yuyan coldly glanced back, pointing her finger and instantly flipping the entire gate into the air. The stone path winding up the mountain shattered into pieces!
The terrifying golden sword energy directly sent the stubborn steward flying dozens of yards, lying unconscious on the ground!
Seeing this, the other stewards turned pale!
