My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty-Chapter 544: What Does It Have to Do with You

The news of Thunder Clan's mobilization was not concealed in any way. When Lei Xiao led the Lei Xiao Guardians to descend upon the Xiantian World, the entire realm was thrown into a state of shock. The first to react was the God's Reign Sect in the 33rd Sky of the Divine Realm.

Due to the powerful sealing restrictions surrounding the Snow Clan's ruins, the cross-realm teleportation array could not transport people directly to the site. Thus, Thunder Clan could only teleport Lei Xiao and his forces to the nearest point—the 33rd Sky of the Divine Realm.

Space rippled continuously, and terrifying thunder energy spread outward from the cross-realm teleportation array.

"Why have the Lei Xiao Guardians been deployed? Is Thunder Clan preparing for war against God's Reign Sect?"

"God's Reign Sect could be in danger. If the Lei Xiao Guardians are involved, that means Thunder Clan's War God Lei Xiao himself has joined the fray. That man is a killing machine, and even God's Reign Sect's mountain-protecting formation might not be able to withstand his onslaught."

Nearby cultivators whispered among themselves, but kept a safe distance, not wanting to be caught in the crossfire.

When the army of Lei Xiao Guardians, clad in thunder-light armor, descended upon the 33rd Sky of the Divine Realm, even those with Saint Stage cultivation felt their hearts falter at the sheer pressure, causing them to lose focus. Such was the terrifying nature of the Lei Xiao Guardians.

This elite army consisted entirely of Saint Stage and Imperial Realm experts, numbering ten thousand. When united in formation, their combined strength rivaled that of a Main God Realm expert. Lei Xiao's undefeated record in battles across the Six Realms was due to the overwhelming power of this formidable force.

Naturally, the grand commotion alarmed the sect master of God's Reign Sect. Deeply furrowing his brow, he suspected his true identity had been exposed and was preparing to call on his organization's assistance. However, seeing that the Lei Xiao Guardians had not immediately attacked upon their arrival, he realized the situation might not be as he had feared, and refrained from acting rashly.

The appearance of the Lei Xiao Guardians could only mean Lei Xiao himself was present. When Lei Xiao stepped out of the teleportation array, the God's Reign Sect master emerged from the sect's gate, cupped his hands in greeting, and respectfully asked, "I wonder what business brings Senior Lei Xiao to the 33rd Sky of the Divine Realm?"

His tone was polite, even addressing Lei Xiao as "Senior." As the head of a sect, he managed to maintain his composure with dignity and courtesy. In most cases, any other sect master would have found it hard to remain calm when facing someone like Lei Xiao, whose legendary battle achievements were known throughout the Six Realms.

"What does it have to do with you!"

"I, Lei Xiao, have never needed to explain my actions to anyone!" Lei Xiao barked coldly, completely ignoring the God's Reign Sect master. He led his Lei Xiao Guardians straight through the 33rd Sky of the Divine Realm, heading directly for the Snow Clan ruins.

Being so thoroughly disregarded, the God's Reign Sect master's eyes flashed with anger, but he suppressed it. Although his organization did not fear Thunder Clan, now was not the time to involve them.

"Lei Xiao seems to be heading towards the Snow Clan ruins. Could it be that he's targeting Lanyan Royal School?"

"Oh no, Mr. Gu is in danger!" The God's Reign Sect master's face finally changed.

In his organization's plans, Gu Lan was a critical figure, and as Gu Lan's talents continued to grow stronger, his importance had only increased. Although God's Reign Sect had closed its gates and cut off cooperation with most other forces, they had maintained their ties with Lanyan Royal School. In fact, some God's Reign Sect disciples were currently at Lanyan Royal School for study exchanges, a sign of the valued connection between the two.

This clearly showed how much the God's Reign Sect master valued Gu Lan, and he absolutely did not want anything to happen to him. Without hesitation, the sect master immediately sent a letter to Gu Lan. At the same time, he sent another message to his organization, seeking assistance.

"It seems that this time, I must reveal everything to Mr. Gu," he thought. "I hope it's not too late!"

With a worried expression, the God's Reign Sect master transformed into a streak of light, flying towards the Snow Clan ruins.

Meanwhile, at the Snow Clan ruins, the disciples of Lanyan Royal School were diligently setting up formations under the guidance of a Demon Realm formation master. Not only that, but the front halls of the ruins had been fully repaired and transformed into new academies. The Confucian Academy, the Forge Academy, the Formation Academy, and the War Academy had already been restored, while others like the Sword Academy and Spear Academy were lagging behind due to the need for additional assistance from the Forge and Formation academies.

Since Gu Lan's Three Clarity Avatar had arrived to oversee the Immortal Realm, things had greatly improved. With the headmaster personally supervising, the students and masters of the Forge and Formation academies were putting in extra effort, hoping that even a casual remark from Gu Lan could help them avoid decades of wasted effort.

"Headmaster, why is this formation engraved in reverse? Wouldn't it create a conflict with the adjacent formations?" one disciple from the Formation Academy asked Gu Lan for guidance.

Gu Lan smiled warmly, pointing with a finger to perfect the formation and activate it. In an instant, light surged through it, and the formation operated without issue.

"I understand now! Changing the inscription here reverses the flow of the entire formation, complementing the adjacent ones. It perfectly aligns with the principle of yin-yang reversal. Brilliant!" The disciple was visibly excited.

The other disciples nearby gazed at Gu Lan with admiration, while even the formation master present was awed by Gu Lan's skill. Though he understood the formation's principles, Gu Lan's mastery in inscribing it was nothing short of extraordinary, a level the master himself might need centuries to reach.

At that moment, a message arrived in front of Gu Lan. Without even looking at the content, Gu Lan knew it was from the God's Reign Sect master and understood what it said.

He had anticipated a retaliation from Thunder Clan and Fire Clan since his arrival in the Immortal Realm. These two clans were known for never letting grievances go unanswered. After the massive loss they suffered, it was certain they wouldn't let the matter rest. Gu Lan had expected their response long ago and was surprised they hadn't acted sooner, likely held back by their fear of Bright Clan. These clans were arrogant yet cowardly, typical bullies who prey on the weak.

If it weren't for his desire to keep a low profile and avoid drawing too much attention to his power, Gu Lan might have already taken the fight to Thunder Clan and Fire Clan, wiping them out.

However, since he had recently broken through and still had room to grow, he decided against any reckless moves. There was no need to take risks. What place could be safer than his own fortress?

The Snow Clan ruins might not be as impenetrable as some of the Earth's Realms' strongholds, but they were already akin to an iron fortress.

Today, Gu Lan was ready to give Thunder Clan a lesson on the art of steady defense!

"My friends," Gu Lan said, addressing the group, "I've just received news that Thunder Clan's Vice Patriarch Lei Xiao is leading an army to wipe out Lanyan Royal School."

"Are any of you afraid?"
