Time Travel: Did My Sister-in-Law Get Slapped in the Face Today?

"My name is Wang Daniu, what's yours?"

The dark-skinned boy said.

"Wu Heng".

Li Lan calmly chose a name.

"Brother Wu Heng, why don't you come with us? Maybe you'll get lucky and be selected!"

Wang Daniu was very much looking forward to it. After thinking for a moment, Li Lan nodded and agreed.

His target was the Dongya clan, which is why he inquired about so many details about the Dongya family beforehand.

But now that I think about it, going directly to the Dongya Clan seems a bit too conspicuous. Although the Zimu Clan is small, it is still within the Dongya Clan's sphere of influence. Starting from there would make everything much more reasonable.

"Okay, we have four people now!"

Wang Daniu was quite pleased and immediately began to introduce himself to Ruji.

"This is Lan Xin, and this is Song Ziwen. We all met on the road!"

Lan Xin and Wang Daniu both came from poor backgrounds, but Song Ziwen, according to him, was originally from a small family that had fallen on hard times.

This time, he was hoping to restore his family's glory, so he rummaged through his belongings and found a brocade robe left by his ancestors.

"Let's wait for a few more people, then we'll cross the mountain pass together," Wang Daniu said.

"Why don't we leave now?" Li Lan asked.

"Brother Wu Heng, you don't know, there are said to be demons and bandits at the mountain pass ahead who specialize in capturing people who are going to participate in the Ascension Ceremony. Once you run into them, you're finished..."

Wang Daniu recounted this matter.

But after learning more about it, Li Lan smiled slightly and said, "No need to worry, there are definitely no demons ahead, just go straight there."

After saying that, he strode away.

"Are you crazy?"

Song Ziwen was astonished and dumbfounded.

"Hey, Brother Wu Heng, don't worry!"

Wang Daniu was also anxious and said, "Let's go, let's follow him."

“You go if you want, but if you go now, those demons will definitely kill you. I won’t…” Song Ziwen shook his head like a rattle drum.

"Forget it, let's go!"

But at this moment, Lan Xin gritted her teeth and said, "I feel that this older brother... is quite reliable!"

Li Lan used the power of the Heavenly Emperor to change his appearance, and now he looks to be only about twenty-one or twenty-two years old. His face is resolute and ordinary, but he looks older than them.

Seeing that Lan Xin had said so, Song Ziwen hurriedly said, "Then... then hurry up and catch up!"

They hurriedly followed Li Lan, and soon they passed the mountain pass ahead. The group was extremely cautious and nervous. Wang Daniu held a wooden stick in his hand, very vigilant.

However, the area around the mountain pass was quiet, and there was no trace of demons at all!

"Oh, really not?"

The group was somewhat puzzled, and Lan Xin looked at Li Lan with particular curiosity, asking, "Brother Wu Heng, how do you know there are no demons here?"

Li Lan said calmly:

"This place is less than a few dozen miles from Donglin City. How dare demons approach? Even if they dare to come here, how dare they spread the word and make it known to everyone? Are they afraid that the forces of Donglin City won't come out to suppress them?"

Upon hearing this, the group instantly realized what was going on.

"But who spread this fake news? It's so harmful!"

Wang Daniu was indignant.

"you're so dumb!"

Song Ziwen immediately chimed in, "It must be other people who went to Donglin City to participate in the Ascension Conference. By spreading this news, those who are timid will not dare to come, and their competition will be less intense."

"I saw through it long ago!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Daniu curled his lip and said, "You saw through it a long time ago, so why didn't you dare to come over? It's not like Brother Wu Heng should have led the way."

"You!" Song Ziwen was speechless, then roared:

"What do you know? I'm just worried about Lanxin's safety!"

But at that moment, Lan Xin suddenly asked in a trembling voice, "What is that?"

She pointed ahead, and the group turned their heads. They saw a blood-soaked demon emerging from the woods. He had a huge bull's head on his head, his neck was covered with human bone ornaments, and he was carrying a large knife!

"Demons! Demons!"

Wang Daniu was immediately startled, his voice trembling.

"Hey, didn't you say there were no demons here?" Song Ziwen panicked and backed away, looking at Li Lan.
