Ambush by Evil Beings

Upon hearing Gu Lan's voice, Dragon Clan Elder was not surprised. He had recognized Gu Lan as soon as he saw him; the young scholar in the green robe was the current head of the highly prestigious Lanyan Royal School in the Six Realms. Knowing Gu Lan's identity was why he chose to call him Dragon Ruler. He had faith in both the Dragon God's choice and his own judgment.

The same sentiment was shared among other powerful members of the Demon Clan present.

"What kind of cultivation level does this person have? Why can't I perceive it at all?"

"I know this new Dragon Ruler; I saw him during the Great Competition of All Clans. Gu Lan, the master of Lanyan Royal School! He stood out remarkably during that competition, but who would have thought such a brilliant individual had been hiding his strength!"
