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

He couldn't help but have second thoughts and said, "Brother, I was just joking when I said we'd live and die together. Can I leave now?"

He is really afraid.

When he came in from outside, he kept comforting Li Lan and Gongsun Moxuan, afraid that the two of them would back down.

Now I realize these two were here to stir up some big trouble...

However, if the things inside are disturbed, they will be even more terrifying than the three demonic shadows inside the Xuan Yue Shadowless Tower...

"cannot!"

Gongsun Moxuan's expression turned cold.

Gu Yijian was utterly helpless.

Li Lan smiled leisurely and said, "You don't need to be afraid. I can face what's going on here by myself. But when the demonic energy dissipates and people outside ask what happened here, you must say this... Understand?"

If Li Lan tries to take something from this place, it will definitely alarm the entire Xuan Yue clan.

He didn't want anyone to discover his secret.

From the very beginning, his agreement to act with Gu Yijian was merely a cover-up.

After listening, Gu Yijian nodded repeatedly, like a chicken pecking at rice, and said, "Don't worry, big brother, you can rest assured!"

Li Lan, on the other hand, had already stepped over the seven stone towers and entered... the third level!

"Big brother!"

Gongsun Moxuan couldn't help but speak, her eyes filled with worry.

"no need to worry."

Li Lan remained calm as he walked to the massive black tower.

As if sensing his arrival, the massive black tower began to tremble slightly!

"My lord of the Seventh Clan, can you please save me?"

At that moment, a voice actually came from the bottom of the black stone tower!

Li Lan was startled. Was this yet another demon with a clear consciousness?

Previously, on the fourth floor of the Purple Wood Clan's Scripture Pavilion, Li Lan had encountered a skeleton that was still conscious.

The skull was quite arrogant at the time, claiming that Li Lan, the primordial being of the seventh clan, could not command him, the primordial being of the fourth clan!

At this moment, the being suppressed beneath the black tower recognized the power within Li Lan once again…

He hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Which race do you come from?"

Upon hearing this, the being beneath the black tower became even more agitated, causing the black tower to shake even more violently. It said, "I come from the Fifth Clan, and my name is Houtu Thirteen. During the great battle, I was injured by the Heavenly Emperor and was unable to return to the Primordial Realm... My lord, if you can take me back, I can offer you the essence of the Primordial Realm!"

The primordial essence.

Li Lan was instantly intrigued; the so-called primordial essence must be the primordial matter...

How can I save you?

Li Lan said.

"The source of power atop this black tower is a portion of the Heavenly Emperor's legacy, and it's suffocating me. My lord, you need to find a way to shake this power of merit. As long as there's even the slightest opening, I can escape..."

The demon spoke.

Li Lan was quite surprised to hear this.

The one who suppressed this demon was actually the Heavenly Emperor's merit?

"Back then, after the Heavenly Emperor swept across the world, he erected one stone tablet after another to commemorate the powerful beings of this realm who perished in the great war. Under the suppression of these tablets, they were truly unable to move..."

Houtu Thirteen spoke with difficulty.

Li Lan sighed softly, "So that's how it is."

The Heavenly Emperor has long since passed away, betrayed by those around him, and defeated by the will of the people of this realm…

However, the merits he left behind still protect this world.

Otherwise, those demons that were not completely wiped out would have already emerged, and the Eternal Realm would have been in chaos long ago.

"Offer me the primordial essence, and I will release you."

Li Lan spoke calmly, and with a wave of his hand, the black tower began to glow, drawing in countless golden rays.

"My lord, you can actually manipulate the merits left behind by the Heavenly Emperor?"

Houtu Thirteen was utterly shocked upon seeing this.

……

And this moment.

outside world.

An astonishing aura emanated from the vast forest of steles, causing everyone who passed by to tremble with fear, as if facing the end of the world.

Meanwhile, the protective array here was fully activated, with the Luo Tian net in the sky continuously pressing down. However, the demonic energy within the tower forest was surging, and the Luo Tian net was on the verge of collapse.

"Oh no, this is... the Demon-Subduing Stele has moved?"

Xuan Yue Tong Jian's face was extremely ugly.

"Summon the family's strongest members!"

Xuan Yue Qian Tang spoke solemnly, staring ahead and muttering, "How could this be? Could it be that that kid really lured out the three demonic shadows inside the Shadowless Ancestor Tower?"

The reason she had the Xuan Yue Tong Jian activate the great formation ahead of schedule was because she was worried that the emergence of the evil thoughts of the three great demons would cause trouble for the demon beneath the Demon-Subduing Stele...

And now, just as expected!

……

And this moment.

when!

A loud bell rang out, and in an instant, the entire Xuan Yue clan was shocked!

……
