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

"The Demon-Slaying Grand Competition is hosted by the Celestial Master Palace."

Back at the Wanfa Pavilion, Xuan Yue Qian Tang explained the Demon-Slaying Competition to Li Lan in detail.

Many years ago, the major powers of Dongye Prefecture, under the leadership of the Celestial Master Palace, explored the Ancient Demon Mountain.

That expedition yielded a tremendous harvest, uncovering many astonishing demonic bones, suggesting the possible existence of a remarkable secret burial site.

However, the price was extremely high. The ancestors of many families, including Xuan Yue and Bai family, were trapped and died inside, and none of them were able to return!

Now, countless years have passed, and the Ancient Demon Mountain has finally shown signs of activity again, offering a glimmer of hope for its reopening. The four great families are all paying close attention.

The demon bones remaining in the Celestial Master's Palace naturally became treasures that everyone coveted.

The more demon bones you obtain, the more keys you have to unlock the secret burial.

In order to ensure a fair distribution and prevent the four major families from falling into a bloody battle, the Celestial Master Palace decided to hold a Demon-Slaying Competition, in which the younger generation of the four major families would compete.

Previously, the power of the Xuan Yue clan had been declining, so they even had to agree to the marriage agreement with the She Xing clan.

"It was back then that our clan's ancestor, Xuan Yue Yinghe, had an accident. The Shexing clan, which had always been subordinate to our clan, found an opportunity to betray the Xuan Yue clan and establish itself as an immortal family."

Speaking of this, Xuan Yue Qian Tang bit her lower lip and said, "Over the years, they have been encroaching on our Xuan Yue family's assets, temples, and so on."

Li Lan suddenly asked, "Everyone knows that the Xuan Yue clan and the Dong Ya clan are related by marriage. Doesn't the Dong Ya clan care?"

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yue Qian Tang sighed, but after hesitating for a moment, she still told Li Lan what had happened back then.

Dongya Xue didn't go into details about this matter, perhaps because she herself was unaware of it. After all, the Dongya clan's young master had committed such a disgraceful act against many women of the Xuan Yue clan, and the Dongya clan would certainly have suppressed it.

"Sir, we can win, right?"

She looked at Li Lan with some trepidation, as if Li Lan's words could give her strength.

Li Lan smiled slightly and said, "Just do good deeds and don't worry about the future."

……

time flies.

A month later.

"The Demon-Slaying Grand Competition begins today!"

"I've heard that the most outstanding geniuses from the four great families will be vying for supremacy. I wonder who will be the number one young talent in Dongye Prefecture!"

"The outcome is uncertain!"

The Demon-Slaying Competition has become the biggest event in the city, attracting everyone's attention.

"However, I think that Shooting Star Falling Flame of the Shooting Star Clan has been the most popular in recent years, and he should be able to win the first prize!"

"Not necessarily. Xuan Yue Qian Tang of the Xuan Yue clan and Ye Lan Mei of the Ye Lan clan are both extraordinary!"

"Heh, are they really that strong? If they can win first place, it just means that this first place isn't very prestigious!"

"Oh, why do you say that, brother?"

"Think about it, Ye Lanmei, Xuan Yueqiantang, and Bai Qingyan are all at roughly the same level in terms of cultivation, and they are known as the three Heavenly Maidens of the Celestial Master Palace. However, Bai Qingyan... has already been defeated once!"

The speaker was so certain that it instantly sparked a discussion among everyone!

"You mean...Wu Heng?"

"That's right. If Wu Heng can defeat Bai Qingyan, he can naturally defeat Ye Lanmei and Xuan Yue Qiantang. From this perspective, Wu Heng may be the true number one in Dongye Prefecture."

"He's just a dead man. He offended the Bai family and has no future whatsoever. What's the point of talking about him? Come on, everyone, place your bets! I'm betting on Xing Luoyan to be number one!"

In no time, all sorts of gambling dens opened in the city, creating a lively atmosphere.

……

Meanwhile, in the center of Dongye City, at the Tianshi Palace martial arts arena.

The members of the four major families entered in turn.

The Supreme Elder of the Xuan Yue Clan, Xuan Yue Xuan Ye, arrived in person. The Clan Chief, Xuan Yue Chang Kong, remained calm, followed closely by Xuan Yue Qian Tang, Li Lan, Gu Yi Jian, and Gongsun Mo Xuan. Even Zhou Xuan Mei, who had performed well, was present.

"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Xuanye, the younger generation of your family has truly surpassed their predecessors. Today, I'm afraid the three great families will suffer a crushing defeat!"
