Chapter 585: Chapter 322: The Fall of Gu Chuan, Yunzhou in Turmoil (Part 4)

Lin Zixiu bowed and slowly exited.

Before Lin Zixiu had walked out, the room echoed with Empress Lü Wantang’s moans, prompting Lin Zixiu to hurry out.

Inside the room, Lü Wantang sat on Sect Leader Yanyue’s lap, softly saying, "Sect Leader, you definitely must not let Gu Zhan die too easily!"

Sect Leader Yanyue said coldly, "Rest assured, your Lü Family has helped me bridge alliances with the Martial Arts Alliance, greatly meritorious. You serve me well, also meritorious. Your Lü Family’s feud with Gu Zhan, naturally I’ll avenge you. This so-called number one under heaven... who knows how many of my palm strikes he can withstand, one palm, or two?"

...

Yunzhou, Prince Wu’s Mansion.

That morning, Gu Zhan was reviewing some documents when he heard the hurried footsteps outside. Rong Yichu entered, cupping his hands, and said, "Lord, something’s happened, Marshal Nangong is severely injured!"

Gu Zhan put down the documents, said in a deep voice, "What happened?"

Rong Yichu said urgently, "According to Marshal Nangong, a cultivation sect named Luoyun Sect is attempting to control the military. Worried they would slaughter freely, Marshal Nangong feigned cooperation with close aides. Two days ago, Sword One visited Celestial Decree Pass to see Marshal Nangong and sensed something was amiss. Taking an opportunity, he suddenly attacked, assisted Marshal Nangong to escape the military town. With the aid of Nangong’s men secretly helping, they fled, and today they arrived in Yun City!"

Gu Zhan frowned and asked, "Are they alright?"

Rong Yichu said solemnly, "They are severely injured, but not in life-threatening danger. However, the news they brought..."

Gu Zhan waved his hand and said, "I’ll go see them first, we’ll discuss other matters later!"

Immediately, Gu Zhan stood up,

Soon the two arrived at a manor in Yun City,

At this time, Nangong Weiyang and Sword One were lying in bed receiving treatment from a physician. Seeing Gu Zhan enter, they hurriedly prepared to greet him.

Gu Zhan prevented them from greeting and asked, "How’s the situation?"

Nangong Weiyang hurriedly replied, "Lord, not optimistic. Those cultivators from Luoyun Sect are..."

Gu Zhan directly interrupted Nangong Weiyang and said, "I’m asking about your physical condition."

"Uh..."

Nangong Weiyang paused, a warm feeling surged in his heart, and he said, "Thanks to your concern, it’s not a big issue. However, Sword One forced a breakthrough, and the damage is quite serious!"

Sword One, lying on the bed, face pale, said, "I’m not a big concern, Lord. The most troublesome issue now is the descent of the Immortal Sect. Nangong estimates that it’s not just one Immortal Sect eyeing our Yunzhou..."

Gu Zhan approached Sword One’s bed, placed his hand on Sword One’s wrist to sense, then said, "Forcing a breakthrough to the Divine Sight Third Realm harmed your foundation, but it’s not serious. I have some Spirit Medicine at hand, I’ll ask a physician to handle it later, and you should recover after taking it. Additionally, to be safe, I’ll leave you some Celestial River Tea leaves."

Sword One was greatly moved and said, "Lord, I’m not seriously harmed. My return with Nangong was to notify you. The Immortal Sect’s threat is imminent, we need to come up with a strategy quickly!"

Gu Zhan lightly patted Sword One’s shoulder and said, "Focus on your recovery, don’t worry about anything else."

As he spoke, Gu Zhan slowly stood up, sneering, "Immortal Sect... hehe, it seems I’ve been too modest. It’s time to destroy a few Immortal Sects for the world to see!"

After speaking, Gu Zhan looked up at the sky beyond the door and said, "Rules must be established, henceforth, without my permission, whoever shows up will be destroyed!"
