My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty-Chapter 509: The Debate Ceremony

"Senior, I am the Thunder Clan Holy Son from the Immortal Realm!"

Realizing he was dealing with someone of immense strength, the Thunder Clan Holy Son immediately revealed his identity, confident that it would protect him from further harm.

"Junior came to the Lower Realm with no ill intentions. I hope Senior will spare me for the sake of the Immortal Realm's seven great Houses. In the future, Thunder Clan will surely offer compensation!"

"For instance, precious pills that can enhance Imperial Realm cultivation, um..."

Before he could finish, a massive hand of true qi, conjured from the air, seized his neck and lifted him into the air.

Gu Lan, controlling the true qi hand, did not overlook the Storage Ring in the Thunder Clan Holy Son's possession. Upon inspecting it with his spiritual sense, he discovered several valuable items.

"True to the Thunder Clan Holy Son's status, the treasures in this Storage Ring are somewhat more abundant than usual."

"You two must have used these items to break through the protective formations and enter the Earthly Realm, right?"

Two Realm Breaker Talismans fell into Gu Lan's hands. Although they were not particularly valuable to him, given his possession of a Divine Space Ring, they were still quite precious to an ordinary Imperial Realm practitioner and could be worth many spirit stones.

In addition to the Realm Breaker Talismans, the Thunder Clan Holy Son's Storage Ring also contained numerous emperor-tier weapons and magical artifacts. Unfortunately, during the recent battle, he had barely used any of them, and his life-saving artifacts had never been deployed. They all ended up in Gu Lan's hands.

Now, as the Thunder Clan Holy Son was being choked by the true qi hand, he could not utter a word. His spiritual sense was entirely confined within him. He could not understand why, despite having revealed his identity, he was still treated this way.

Could it be that the Earthly Realm's forces were so fearless?

Even if the Immortal Realm had difficulty dealing with the Lower Realm, a single Divine Realm elder could easily sweep through the entire Earthly Realm. It was inconceivable that this person could not be subdued.

Feeling the true qi hand tightening around his neck, the Thunder Clan Holy Son feared his neck might break and his body collapse. He was nearly in despair!

Faced with such an unreasonable expert from the Lower Realm, he saw no alternative but to wait for death.

Just as he was about to give up, he suddenly felt the true qi hand loosen slightly, allowing him to breathe.

"Thank you for sparing my life, Senior..."

As he began to express his gratitude, a terrifyingly powerful spiritual sense abruptly descended upon his sea of consciousness, invading it in the most violent and unreasonable manner.

He dared not resist the Soul Searching.

This was the Thunder Clan Holy Son's final thought before his sea of consciousness and soul were utterly destroyed. The destruction of his soul was not only due to the Soul Searching but also because his sea of consciousness had defenses against such probing. When someone forcibly used Soul Searching, these defenses activated, attacking the perpetrator and marking them with a brand.

At that moment, a black lightning mark appeared on Gu Lan's arm.

The mark emitted a faint black aura, looking quite eerie.

"This mark is quite intricately crafted!"

Gu Lan examined the mark with a smile. He had known about the defense mechanism in the Thunder Clan Holy Son's sea of consciousness and had used such a brutal method of Soul Searching to obtain information before the soul collapsed.

It was a simple attempt, not very successful. The defenses activated quickly, and he only managed to gather a small amount of memory, not fully understanding the specific reasons behind Thunder Clan's actions in the Lower Realm.

But one thing was certain: Thunder Clan coveted the Destiny of the Lanyan Royal School in the Great Competition of All Clans and wanted to claim it for themselves.

Whether there were other reasons was unclear.

"However, with this, the gain is still substantial."

"Thunder Clan won't give up easily. I hope they bring more valuable items next time."

Gu Lan looked at the mark in his hand and did not rush to erase it. He planned to study it carefully to see if he could find a way to break Immortal Realm's such defensive mechanisms.

After dealing with the Thunder Clan Holy Son, Gu Lan returned to the original battlefield and met up with Dragon Sovereign and the others. The Thunder Clan elite had also been captured, and Gu Lan's solo return, with his unfathomable cultivation, caused a trace of despair to appear in his eyes.

"Dean, what should we do with this person?"

Mo Li approached and asked. He had sensed Gu Lan's presence when Dragon Sovereign appeared and was not surprised by Gu Lan's arrival, as Gu Lan had not concealed his presence.

Mo Li also did not recognize Gu Lan as the Three Clarity avatar.

"This person comes from the Thunder Clan of the Immortal Realm's seven great Houses, a significant figure. Let him be held at Lanyan Royal School for proper supervision and see what Thunder Clan plans to do next."

"You performed very well this time. Here is a reward for you."

Gu Lan produced a valuable robe and used true qi to deliver it to Mo Li.

Seeing that the robe was identical to the one the Thunder Clan Holy Son had worn, Mo Li couldn't help but feel amused. The Thunder Clan Holy Son had clearly met his end, yet the Dean was leaving behind a seemingly insignificant Thunder Clan elite.

Realizing his Dean's quirky sense of humor, Mo Li quickly accepted the robe, putting on a simple smile. "Thank you, Dean!"

Gu Lan waved his hand, signaling Mo Li to take the person away. He then approached Dragon Sovereign and handed him an invitation.

"Lord Dragon Sovereign, on September 9th, Lanyan Royal School will hold a Debate Ceremony."

"At that time, all teachers of Lanyan Royal School and powerful figures from various factions in the Earthly Realm will take the stage to discuss their experiences in cultivation."

"This includes insights on cultivation, artifact refining, formations, divine techniques, and more. We hope that Lord Dragon Sovereign will also lead the Myriad Clans of East Sea to the Debate Ceremony and briefly share your unique understanding of the Way."

"After the debate, I will present a reward that will surely satisfy you."

Gu Lan finished speaking with a smile, patiently waiting for Dragon Sovereign's response.

Looking at the invitation and Gu Lan, Dragon Sovereign did not hesitate for a moment and agreed immediately.

Although Gu Lan had not fully revealed his strength, Dragon Sovereign sensed how terrifying it was. Given Gu Lan's assistance in finding his daughter and his other considerations, Dragon Sovereign could not refuse.

"Mr. Gu, rest assured. Myriad Clans of East Sea will certainly attend the Debate Ceremony at Lanyan Royal School!"

Dragon Sovereign accepted the invitation.

Gu Lan smiled and nodded, then bid farewell to Dragon Sovereign, as he had other invitations to deliver.
