Chapter 150 Wife's Concerns; Visit of the Dragon Clan
That night, at the Imperial Announcements Bureau!
After a series of urgent drumbeats, rows of officials in Feiyu attire quickly emerged from the wing rooms, assembling in the main hall.
Despite the strict training they had undergone, they dared not show any emotions on their faces, even if they were abruptly awakened in the middle of the night. However, they were deeply puzzled.
Master Liu rarely returned, so why would he suddenly convene a meeting at night? Could it be that a major case had occurred?
However, when they saw Liu Yexi's determined expression in the hall, they instantly understood the severity of the situation.
"Trouble, over twenty people were killed..."
Liu Yexi spoke directly.
Hearing about a colossal case that hadn't occurred for decades, the subordinates couldn't help but shudder simultaneously. The hall fell silent.
They continued to listen to Liu Yexi issue solemn orders:
"Lift the martial law across the entire city tonight and thoroughly investigate the person who escaped from the former Ministry of War Deputy. Spare no effort to apprehend him!"
"Within three days!"
"If he is not captured within three days, there will be no need for us to worry about Her Majesty... Do you all understand?!"
If the female Emperor truly issued a self-blame edict, they, the ones in charge, wouldn't have the face to live. This statement was not at all exaggerated!
Upon hearing this, the officials in flying fish attire tightened their faces. "Understood!"
"Go!"
The Imperial Announcements Bureau bustled with activity, and for the next three days, it was destined to be sleepless.
Liu Yexi sighed slowly. After everyone had left, the seriousness in her eyes faded, revealing a deep sense of worry.
The guards at the residence had already been interrogated, but unfortunately, they all claimed to be outer apprentice and had never been to the immortal palace promised by 'Elder Sun.' The only hope lay with the inner disciple who had fled.
However, trying to find the thief with King Realm cultivation in the vast capital before the news spread was easier said than done.
...
"Old Yang, where is the mistress?"
Gu Lan asked as soon as he entered the door.
Old Yang, aware that his young master and madam had always been inseparable, smiled and pointed to the kitchen. "Madam is in the kitchen, preparing soup for the young master. She said that after facing the Holy Court, it's hard work, and he needs a good tonic."
"Okay."
Gu Lan felt warmth in his heart, nodded, and went towards the kitchen.
Mu Yuyan, holding a pot of soup, was just coming out.
"The master is back. The dishes are already in the main hall. Let's go and have our meal directly!"
Mu Yuyan's stunning face showed a faint smile, concealing the traces of tears and sorrow.
She didn't want Gu Lan to see.
Gu Lan frowned and looked towards the eastern sky.
The moon was bright, and the stars were sparse, with faint clouds like silk.
Dozens of auras at the Immortal Stage and Emperor Realm flew from the horizon, with a clear purpose – they were heading for the location of Gu Lan in the capital!
As they approached, their figures stopped in the clouds. Each one was dressed in silver robes and golden armor, resembling celestial beings descending from the heavens in the midst of wind and clouds.

"Who are these people?"
"The auras are formidable, not like our the Great Jing people. I don't know why they are visiting so late at night!"
"Hiss, the middle-aged man looks mysterious and powerful. If they are enemies, it won't be easy to handle..."
...
Many commoners and cultivators noticed them, uncertain about their intentions, and looked up one after another.
Gu Lan gradually relaxed his brows when he saw a breathtakingly beautiful woman in silver-blue soft armor among them.
"Little Dragon Maiden is mobilizing troops to the Demon Realm so soon... The middle-aged man there has already reached the peak of the Immortal Stage, not weaker than Elder Yunlong. I believe he is the Dragon Sovereign."
Gu Lan's gaze fell on the Dragon Sovereign.
The Dragon Sovereign sensed it and cast his eyes in return. After seeing Gu Lan, he gave a very kind look.
"Worthy of his reputation, indeed, worthy of his reputation!"
In the sky, Ao Hanyi heard her grandfather sigh like this.
"Why, can Grandpa discern the cultivation level of that person?" Ao Hanyi blinked her sapphire-blue eyes and asked softly.
"No!"
The Dragon Sovereign shook his head and continued, "But the true dragon bloodline in his body is even purer than mine... The dragon blood is violent. If his cultivation and foundation were not superior to mine, he wouldn't be able to integrate it, and his body would burst and perish!"
"I see."
Ao Hanyi's small mouth opened slightly, marveling in her heart.
She knew that Gu Lan was very strong, but she didn't expect... him to be so much stronger than her grandfather, who was invincible in her eyes!
"With such strength, it's no wonder he could cut through space with a single sword and annihilate the demon head in the realm!"
"The blood of a true dragon... with such a rich bloodline, that person can actually be considered a member of our Dragon Clan!"
The Dragon Sovereign smiled and squinted at Ao Hanyi.
"The identity of the Dragon Clan is extremely enviable in the eyes of all races... but in the eyes of Master Gu, I'm afraid he won't find it appealing."
Ao Hanyi smiled wryly, fearing that her grandfather might invite Gu Lan into the Dragon Clan, causing unnecessary displeasure.
"Well, rest assured."
The Dragon Sovereign smiled and said, "Grandpa is not so confused as to fantasize about recruiting such a powerful person. We've come just to express goodwill and give gifts in return. Him informing us about Qin'er's news is already a great favor to our Dragon Clan!"
