The Emperor's Favorite: The Useless and Crazy Concubine Who Conquers the World

Lan Yunyan suddenly woke from her sleep, beads of sweat on her forehead, and a hint of uneasiness in her eyes. Ling Xiuhan hurriedly hugged her and asked softly.

Lan Yunyan frowned and said, "I dreamed of a strong evil aura coming from the dark abyss. It seemed that something terrible was about to happen."

Ling Xiu Han's heart sank. He knew that these peaceful days might not last long.

The next morning, Lan Yunyan and Ling Xiuhan decided to go to the Holy Power Crystal to re-check the seal. When they arrived in front of the crystal, they saw that the light around it was slightly disordered, and there were faint black threads moving inside the crystal.

Lan Yunyan reached out her hand, wanting to touch the crystal to find out more, but Ling Xiuhan grabbed her hand and said, "Be careful, this crystal's abnormality could be a sign of danger."

They carefully observed the crystal and found some subtle signs of erosion on the runes. These runes were the key protections left behind when the seal was reinforced.

On the other side of the divine realm, Yun Mengyao and Su Yu were playing in the garden of the Flower God Palace. Yun Mengyao suddenly felt a palpitation, and the flowers in her hands withered instantly.

Seeing this, Su Yu hurriedly supported her and asked with concern: "Mengyao, what's wrong with you?"

Yun Mengyao's face turned pale as she said, "I have a bad feeling. It seems like the God Realm is in danger again."

Su Yu held her hand tightly and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, I'm here with you. No matter what happens, I will protect you."

While Lin Wan'er was treating the injured soldiers in the Temple of War God, she suddenly became distracted and almost used the wrong herb.

Xiao Yichen noticed her strangeness, walked over and held her in his arms, and said softly: "Wan'er, are you too tired? Why don't you take a rest?"

Lin Wan'er shook her head and said, "It's not that I'm tired, I just have a feeling that something bad is going to happen. I'm worried that it has something to do with the mysterious force from before."

Xiao Yichen's eyes became resolute, and he said, "No matter what it is, as long as I am here, I will not let you get hurt."

Lan Yunyan and Ling Xiuhan decided to summon the gods to discuss how to deal with the potential crisis. A solemn atmosphere reigned in the assembled gods' hall. Lan Yunyan informed the gods of the unusual condition of the Holy Power Crystal, and they all expressed concern.

An elderly priest stepped forward and said, "This is probably another conspiracy by a mysterious force. We must prepare in advance and strengthen our defenses."

The gods nodded in agreement.

Ling Xiuhan stood up and said, "We must not only strengthen our defenses, but also take the initiative to attack, find the lair of the mysterious forces, and completely eliminate them. Otherwise, we will always live under the shadow of fear."

The gods began to divide the work, some of them were responsible for strengthening the defensive arrays in various parts of the divine realm. They rearranged more powerful restrictions on the borders. Runes flickered and lights intertwined, forming an indestructible barrier.

Another group of gods followed Lan Yunyan and Ling Xiuhan deep into the unknown areas of the divine realm to search for traces of the mysterious forces.

They crossed a dangerous valley filled with poisonous miasma. The gods used their spiritual power to protect themselves and moved forward with difficulty.

They flew over a barren desert again. Sandstorms often hit the desert, and sand and gravel whistled past like hidden weapons, but they supported each other and did not stop.

Finally, at the edge of a silent swamp, they discovered traces of a mysterious force: strange footprints and remnants of evil runes on the ground.

Lan Yunyan squatted down and carefully observed the runes. She said, "These runes are somewhat similar to those I saw on the black-robed man before. They must be nearby."

Ling Xiuhan gripped the magic sword tightly, looked around vigilantly, and said, "Everyone be careful, they may appear at any time."

The gods cautiously went deep into the swamp, which was filled with a foul smell. Tentacles occasionally stretched out from the mud and tried to grab their ankles.

Suddenly, a group of men in black robes emerged from the swamp, holding sharp blades and chanting evil spells, and attacked the gods.

Lan Yunyan swung the Chaos Divine Axe and unleashed the "Holy Power: Evil-Breaking Slash". A golden axe light flashed across, chopped down a group of black-robed men.

Ling Xiu Han controlled the magic sword and used the "Demon Saint Soul-Slaying Thorn". The magic sword shuttled between the black-robed men like black lightning. Wherever it passed, the souls of the black-robed men seemed to be pulled out and they fell down instantly.

The gods also used their magical powers to engage in a fierce battle with the black-robed man. For a moment, the swamp was filled with glittering light and shouts of killing were heard everywhere.

At the critical moment of the battle, Lan Yunyan discovered a leader-like figure among the black-robed crowd. He held a magic wand emitting black light in his hand and directed the actions of the black-robed people.

Lan Yunyan shouted to Ling Xiuhan, "Xiuhan, capture the leader first. Let's take care of him first!"

Ling Xiuhan nodded, and the two of them rushed towards the black-robed leader in tacit understanding. Seeing that the situation was not good, the black-robed leader wanted to escape, but Lan Yunyan and Ling Xiuhan would never give him the chance.

Lan Yunyan unleashed the "Holy Power: Confinement Barrier," creating a golden barrier that trapped the black-robed leader. Ling Xiuhan swung his magic sword, slashing fiercely at the black-robed leader.

The black-robed leader raised his magic wand to resist, but under the powerful attack of Lan Yunyan and Ling Xiuhan, the magic wand broke instantly. The black-robed leader also vomited blood and fell to the ground.

With the fall of the black-robed leader, the other black-robed men were immediately thrown into disarray. The gods took the opportunity to launch a fierce attack and wiped out all of them.

Lan Yunyan and Ling Xiuhan found a black secret book on the black-robed leader, which was engraved with evil runes.

They opened the secret book and found that it contained part of the mysterious force's plan to break the seal and some dark spells.

Lan Yunyan said solemnly, "It seems they have been plotting something in secret. We must find a way to stop them as soon as possible."

Ling Xiuhan said, "This secret book may give us some clues. Let's take it back and study it carefully."

The gods returned to the divine realm with the spoils they had captured and the clues they had obtained. In the Holy Power Temple, Lan Yunyan, Ling Xiuhan, and the other gods studied the secret manual day and night, trying to find a way to decipher the conspiracy of the mysterious forces.
