My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty

"Slash Heaven!"

Luo Ying swung her sword with resolute determination.

This strike severed the Light Giant's sword. This strike extinguished the radiance of the Light Giant. This strike annihilated the thousands of angels from the Bright Clan. This strike awakened the battle spirit of countless soldiers within Cloudy Sky City.

At the same time, Luo Ying's soul suffered damage, and she was surrounded and attacked by all the Divine Realm experts of the Bright Clan.

"City Lord!"

Several Divine Realm experts from Cloudy Sky City, with eyes reddened by the desire to flee, joined the battle with all their might, trying to rescue Luo Ying.

The battle formations of Cloudy Sky City's soldiers also launched a counterattack, although they were still overpowered by the heavily damaged angelic army. Independent cultivators proved to be ineffective, even if they wished to fight, their efforts were in vain against such overwhelming strength.

"I'll help them!" Chen Feng's blood was ignited by the situation.

He directly used his movement techniques to enter the battlefield.

Seeing this, Gu Lan sighed silently.

At this point, Luo Ying's sword strike, fueled by burning her soul, could at most extend Cloudy Sky City's destiny by a short while. Ultimately, victory was unattainable. The Bright Clan's power was too great for Cloudy Sky City to withstand.

Even if Gu Lan intervened, he could at most buy some time and only have one opportunity to do so. In Immortal Realm's Ninth Heaven of Chengtian World, Divine Son Arthur could arrive at any moment, and Gu Lan had no absolute confidence in dealing with him.

His promise to Elder Nightfall to assist was merely to do his best. His promise to Shangguan Yuyang to help was even simpler—just to ensure Luo Ying's survival.

At this moment, Luo Ying's soul was severely damaged by the sword strike, and even if she survived, her cultivation would be greatly impaired.

"Very well!"

"Though it's not the ideal time, the plan must be put into action early."

Gu Lan raised his hand, and the array inscriptions began to spread out from his body, extending to the cultivation lodge where he and Chen Feng were.

Divine Stones floated around him, channeling energy frantically.

In an instant, powerful spatial fluctuations appeared within Cloudy Sky City, and one after another, figures emerged from the arrays.

"Dean!"

"Dean!"

Lanyan Royal School disciples led by Xiao Yan and Chen Fan appeared behind Gu Lan.

"Hurry up and act, coordinate with the Nine Heavens Alliance members, and take as many of Cloudy Sky City's people as possible!"

"Don't worry about any situations outside the city."

Upon hearing Gu Lan's orders, Xiao Yan and the others immediately began their tasks. Over the past few days, Gu Lan had secretly informed them of the entire plan, so they followed orders and caused no trouble.

After all, this was Chengtian World, and calling it the Bright Clan's stronghold was not an exaggeration. Smuggling so many people out of Cloudy Sky City and Chengtian World was nearly impossible.

If it were that simple, Luo Ying would have done it long ago. Not to mention the astronomical consumption of Divine Stones for cross-dimensional travel, just the spatial fluctuations generated by large-scale teleportation would alert the Bright Clan.

If the Bright Clan intervened, the teleportation would become nearly impossible.

Gu Lan dared to act because the battle outside the city was ongoing, and the temporary teleportation arrays he set up were unknown to the Bright Clan, which might yield unexpected results. Such operations were something only he could accomplish.

Within a short period, he could set up a temporary array capable of cross-dimensional teleportation, a feat unmatched in the Six Realms.

"What are you doing here?"

"What are you trying to do?"

Patrolling soldiers within Cloudy Sky City drew their swords upon seeing Xiao Yan and his group. Before they could act, Nine Heavens Alliance members appeared, holding the City Lord's token, which was only in the possession of Luo Ying's trusted aides.

"Act on behalf of the City Lord's Mansion. You have no authority to question this. Just cooperate fully!"

The speaker was a Divine Realm expert, a Nine Heavens Alliance member with significant prestige in Cloudy Sky City. The patrolling soldiers, seeing his appearance, were unsure whether to obstruct them or not.

While they hesitated, Xiao Yan and his group had already moved towards the direction where ordinary people of Cloudy Sky City were gathered. These ordinary people were the primary targets of Lanyan Royal School disciples, as ordinary people had no value in the eyes of various forces and were the easiest to transport across dimensions with minimal cost.

These ordinary people would become the first batch of Jing Nation's foundation, so Gu Lan could not afford to miss them.

"Greetings, Alliance Master!"

At this moment, the Divine Realm expert approached Gu Lan.

His expression was complex. The scholarly figure before him was said to have cultivated for only a hundred years yet had reached an unfathomable level of cultivation. His status in the Nine Heavens Alliance did not match Luo Ying's, and he was unaware of Gu Lan's true strength.

However, he knew of Gu Lan's achievements—slaying the Thunder Clan's war god on the battlefield, indicating that his strength was certainly greater than his own.

"Go ahead and handle things."

"The situation in Cloudy Sky City is complex, and Lanyan Royal School does not know much. Your brother's help is needed."

Gu Lan nodded at him and then turned away.

In a flash, he appeared outside the city.

At this moment, Luo Ying's battle armor was stained completely red, whether from her own blood, that of the Bright Clan, or Cloudy Sky City's soldiers, it was unclear.

"Luo Ying, your cultivation has fallen to the mid Main God Realm. If you use any more divine powers, you'll be close to the destruction of your soul!"

"If you surrender now, the Bright Clan can allow you to reincarnate!"

The Bright Clan's Divine Realm experts surrounded Luo Ying while taunting her with words.

Next to Luo Ying, there were no more Divine Realm experts from Cloudy Sky City. Recently, a Divine Realm expert from Cloudy Sky City had rebelled, and many forces that had joined midway also turned against Cloudy Sky City, leading to the Divine Realm experts falling into the Bright Clan's trap and perishing.

Only Luo Ying, relying on her formidable strength, managed to barely escape. The current situation was beyond redemption.

"Luo Ying believes only in this world and not in reincarnation!"

"Today's demise is free of regrets, though I shall never see friends again. It is a pity..."

Luo Ying stood with her sword, her Sword Intent erupting once more.

The surrounding Bright Clan Immortal Realm experts were alarmed, thinking Luo Ying was about to make a final desperate attack, causing them to retreat in fear.

"Pffft!"

Luo Ying spat blood and laughed maniacally.

"Hahaha!"

"A bunch of cowards!"

The Bright Clan members were enraged, but just as they were about to advance, they saw Luo Ying's Sword Intent surge again. They thought it was another bluff and ignored it.

The Bright Clan experts prepared their final attack. However, at that moment, a figure in a blue robe suddenly appeared before Luo Ying. The powerful Sword Intent they had felt came from this blue-robed figure.

"Bright Clan members, this is our first meeting, and it's quite rushed without any gifts. So, let me give you a sword instead. How does that sound?"

The blue-robed figure stood firm, holding a long sword with blue and purple hues swirling along its blade, followed by an overwhelming sword aura.

The Slashing Heaven Sword in Luo Ying's hand also emitted a series of sword cries.

Before the Divine Realm experts of the Bright Clan could even see the newcomer's appearance clearly, they were completely enveloped by the sword light.
