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

Upon hearing this, Li Lan remained calm and asked, "Senior, may I ask what the truth is about my background?"

Li Daoling said, "You can call me Second Uncle."

He then recounted the events of the past one by one.

Eight hundred years ago, the Demon Realm stirred up trouble and was about to invade the Abyss Realm. On that occasion, the major powers of the Immortal Realm also sent experts to quell the rebellion.

In that era, two outstanding figures of the Li family—Li Qinghong and Li Qingyuan—represented the Li family in the battle.

That time, a powerful demonic nightmare appeared in the Demon Realm, and the battle was extremely fierce. Almost all the heroes of the Immortal Realm were wiped out. At the last moment, Li Qinghong took the initiative to appear, sacrificed himself, and forcibly displayed the True Core level cultivation under the incomplete Heavenly Dao rules of the Abyss Realm, killing the demonic nightmare!

However, he lost all his cultivation and was trapped in the Abyss Realm, unable to return.

Later, Li Qingyuan became the patriarch of the Li clan. He always held a grudge about this matter, so this time he specifically instructed Li Daoling to find Li Qinghong's descendants and bring them back to the clan.

……

That's the cause and effect.

Li Lan admired the deeds of that "distant ancestor" quite a bit, but that was all.

He said calmly, "But now that you are of inferior talent and unable to cultivate, even if you go to the Li family, you will probably only embarrass yourself."

He had already realized that the Li family, a type of immortal clan, placed great importance on aptitude!

A shadow crossed Li Daoling's eyes, but he shook his head: "You are a descendant of Qinghong's ancestor. In any case, it is only right for you to return to your family and acknowledge your ancestors."

"Don't worry about other things for now."

He paused, then said, "True Dragon Li Yue trusts you greatly. In the next few days, you should assist her well and help her advance her True Dragon Technique further... Only when she is strong enough will there be hope of resisting the Demon Realm army."

Li Lan nodded: "This junior will take his leave."

After he left.

"Second Uncle, he's a good-for-nothing!"

Li Huan finally couldn't hold back any longer and said, "Does the family really intend to sacrifice me and Xue'er for such a good-for-nothing?"

Li Xue'er gritted her teeth and said, "Why? Second Uncle, we can contribute more to the family if we live, but he is of no use to the family if he lives!"

Li Daoling frowned and said coldly, "Shut up!"

"According to the rules established by the great powers of the Immortal Realm, all forces must participate in the resistance against the Demon Realm, and my Li family cannot fail to send people!"

"Back then, Ancestor Qinghong was trapped in the Abyss Realm while fighting against the Demon Realm, and all his cultivation turned to dust. He was a hero of the entire Immortal Realm. So, this time, it's time for our lineage to produce someone."

“Originally, if the demon army hadn’t descended, you might not have had to die… but now, the only option is to perform the sacrificial burning ritual.”

He looked at Li Huan and Li Xue'er, a hint of pity in his eyes, and said, "I will prepare life-saving items for you. Perhaps I can preserve a remnant of your souls..."

Both Li Huan and Li Xue'er looked extremely pale!

But they all knew... there was little chance of a turnaround.

Why have all the major celestial forces left behind some legacies in the Abyss Realm? It's because every so often, whenever the Demon Realm erupts, a campaign to quell the chaos is needed.

If it's just a normal anomaly, that's fine, but if the situation is critical... then we must perform the ritual of burning the world as a sacrifice.

The fortune of the entire Abyss Realm is not enough; we also need to add the power of the Immortal Realm!

The geniuses of the Abyss Realm such as Kujue, Sun and Moon Swords, and Wu Tianyue are actually "containers" of the power of the Immortal Realm. When the formation is activated, the power of the Immortal Realm that will be drawn in, together with the humanistic fire of the Abyss Realm, will be able to suppress all demons!

The Li family's method is quite unique; only members of the Li family by blood can receive the guidance, so they can only choose people from within their own clan.

Li Huan and Li Xue'er were the chosen victims.

Li Xue'er bit her lower lip and said, "Second Uncle... Li Qinghong has been dead for so many years, and there are hardly any people left in the clan from his lineage. You just need to nod your head and use Li Lan as a sacrifice for the world. After he dies, who can say anything?"

She really didn't want to die!

"Second Uncle, if I remember correctly, the position of clan leader should have been inherited by Li Qinghong. If Li Lan returns to the clan, according to the family rules, the position of clan leader should be returned to Li Lan... At that time, can you really bear to watch Brother Li Hao give up his position? Can such a good-for-nothing as Li Lan lead the clan to prosperity?"
