My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty

"Howl!~"

"Roar!"

Several beast overlords could understand Gu Lan's words. They immediately roared in excitement, causing a wave of beasts to surge in the mountainous forest. The earth shook, and the majority of their tribe members were summoned.

They began to migrate following Gu Lan!

In their eyes, Gu Lan was the owner of the ancient divine phoenix and their benefactor. That meant absolute obedience!

...

In the night, a hundred miles across from Xiangzhou City, within the central military tent of the Eight-Eyed Spider Emperor!

Initially, the newly appointed Spider Emperor and several demon kings were discussing strategies over a map. Suddenly, the ground violently shook, and a powerful bloodline aura from ancient fierce beasts approached from a certain direction. The aura was strong and numerous, causing them to be surprised when it drew near!

"What's going on? These auras don't seem to be from our demon realm."

"Definitely not from the demon realm; the direction is wrong... The newcomers are hostile. It might be some trick from humans. Quick, escape!"

"I also want to run, but my damn legs are so weak!"

"..."

A fiery red phoenix silhouette flew across the sky, and a terrifying temperature phoenix flame shot out, immediately turning the demon military camp into a sea of fire.

Countless demon soldiers and generals were awakened from their slumber, looking up in terror. They finally saw the appearance of the ancient divine phoenix and the tall figure on its back...

"This is bad, it's a human trick!"

"This is the divine phoenix! Since when did a human of the Great Jing tribe have a phoenix owner?!"

"This... This human is even more terrifying than the Daoist who went to Yunzhou before. Wait, why are these fierce beasts listening to him? Aren't we the same kind?!"

"..."

The little demon soldiers chattered nervously, like ants on a hot pot.

However, with the pressure emanating from the divine phoenix and the beast overlords, their hearts were anxious and frightened, but their legs were utterly immobile.

They were directly swallowed by the incoming beast tide!

Gu Lan watched this scene calmly, showing no hint of pity. In the eyes of the beasts, humans were merely walking sheep, a naturally hostile force.

Their threat was even higher than the external demonic forces, as evidenced by the Chiyang Dynasty four thousand years ago!

Now, killing them would benefit soldiers like Lin Lu who guarded the borders. Gu Lan would not show any mercy!

Gu Xiaoqi also played joyfully, as phoenix clans were inherently arrogant. Aside from their owners, all others were considered inferior creatures!

"Roar!!"

Below, an Immortal Stage elephant with Shiva's giant claws roared, directly smashing the Eight-Eyed Spider Emperor into pieces and shoving them into its mouth haphazardly!

They enjoyed their feast immensely!

With over a dozen beast overlords, all at Immortal Stage cultivation, if they were not so far away, they could have easily launched a direct assault on the Demon God City!n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

The situation was overwhelmingly one-sided!

Half an hour later, the demon military camp was completely razed to the ground.

The divine phoenix landed with Gu Lan on its back.

The beast overlords immediately stopped their feasting and quietly bowed their heads, waiting for Gu Lan's arrival. It looked as if they were subjects welcoming an emperor.

Gu Lan surveyed the scene and felt that in the future, these creatures might replace the demon realm.

However, it couldn't be rushed. After all, they were rootless, and if they were to fight against the demon realm, they might be slowly worn down, no matter how powerful they were!

The key was to establish and develop their tribes first!

With these thoughts in mind, Gu Lan loudly instructed them, "Starting today, you can settle in the demon realm. I am not very aware of the situation inside, so be cautious and explore on your own!"

"Remember not to eat humans. If you encounter difficulties, you can find the defenders of Xiangzhou City. As long as there is no war, they can provide you with plenty of livestock!"

"Roar!"

"Howl!"

The beast overlords nodded, excitedly expressing their absolute obedience to Gu Lan's instructions.

Gu Lan had saved their lives and provided them with food and drink, making her their lifesaver and benefactor.

They would remember Gu Lan's appearance well. These dozen or so Immortal Stage fierce beasts had decided that in the future, they would invite craftsmen from the human tribe to carve totems, venerating Gu Lan as the deity of their tribe!

Of course, all these things were yet to come. Gu Lan, riding the phoenix, wouldn't be aware of them.

After a long journey, Gu Xiaoqi's energy was depleted. She had enjoyed herself thoroughly and could now maintain her humanoid form for a long time.

...

The next morning, the veteran defender of Xiangzhou City opened his eyes and smelled a waft of bloody scent in the cold wind. He suddenly jolted awake! Alertly rubbing his eyes, he looked towards the demon military camp that had faced off with them for several months...

Huh!!

Where did the demon military camp go?

Did it evaporate into thin air?

Upon closer inspection, he found that the location of the demon military camp was now littered with skeletons, and the ground was covered with the corpses of demon soldiers and generals torn apart!

The veteran stood dumbfounded for a while, then hurriedly rushed back to the city.

A moment later, a Confucian-clad general led a troop out of the city and arrived at the location of the demon military camp. The soldiers in the army were all puzzled! Your next journey awaits at empire

Did these fierce beasts suddenly turn on each other?

How else could there be infighting resulting in mutual slaughter?

Lin Lu rode his horse to the side of the corpses and carefully observed. He discovered that these demon corpses not only had bite marks but also burn marks!

"Scout, did you notice anything last night while on duty in the city? Report any information unrelated to this situation!" Lin Lu inquired.

"Reporting, my lord! When I was on duty last night, I had heard rumbling footsteps over here, which seemed to be the onset of a beast tide, and in the sky, there was a big fiery red bird sweeping by!" the scout replied.

"A big fiery red bird?" Lin Lu frowned, showing a pensive expression. His memory was exceptional, and news from the Great Jing naturally reached him.

He had already heard about the Consecrator of the Tianji Pavilion riding a phoenix and leading fierce beasts from the savage world back. Now, it seemed that most of what happened last night was the work of this Consecrator...

Otherwise, if it were just a giant bird or an inexplicable event, how could a beast tide occur? And why would they not attack the human city?

"It's the work of the Consecrator from the Tianji Pavilion. There's no need to be suspicious. This is good news for us!" Lin Lu, having figured it out, immediately ordered, "Today, don't go out of the city to fight. Since that person brought a beast tide to assist us, we mustn't harm those good beasts."

"Yes!"

The soldiers responded.

Ironborn soldiers admired strength. Now that they heard Lin Lu's firm belief that it was the work of the Tianji Pavilion Consecrator, their curiosity about this legendary figure deepened!

"When we return to the capital in the future, we must find this Consecrator and express our gratitude!" Lin Lu declared.

"Give it a rest. Are you not just eager to boast about meeting that person when you go home?" someone teased.

"Caught by you, kid!"

"Stop joking. Since the demon military camp was wiped out overnight, we can go back and have a good sleep. When we wake up, we should focus on cultivation. To thank that person, we need to be qualified!"

"..."

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

On the third day of the twelfth month in the lunar month, the capital of the Great Jing was clear and refreshing!

The incense hall of the Great Enlightenment Temple was bustling with worshipers, mostly women who came to offer incense and worship Buddha, praying for the safety of their households.

In the afternoon, Mu Yuyan and Liu Yexi came to the temple. They respectfully offered incense to the clay idol Buddha, burning several incense sticks. They also generously gave a substantial donation.

As they were about to leave, a young monk suddenly brightened his eyes.

He looked like a salesman and came forward to bow, saying, "Amitabha! Female benefactor, in the Buddhist hall, there is a lecture by the Master Zen Master Zhi Chan from the Western Regions. For just three or two taels of silver coins, you can listen to his teachings, cleanse your mind, and seize this rare opportunity. Don't miss it!"
