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

There's a world of difference between an immortal and an immortal king...

"Hua Tianchi Yue, you truly care about this old man!"

At this moment, Hua Tianqiu spoke coldly, saying, "Such loyalty deserves no reward; it would make this old man seem narrow-minded... From this day forward, you shall be the Supreme Protector—"

Supreme Protector!

Upon hearing these four words, Hua Tianchi Yue abruptly raised his eyes, his gaze filled with disbelief...

The Supreme Protector's status is naturally extremely high. Almost every clan leader in the past will eventually become the Supreme Protector and be respected by the entire clan. But there is a prerequisite—becoming an Immortal King!

Only by becoming an immortal king and then stepping down as clan leader can one retain immense power!

For example, Hua Tianyun and others, although they usually stay in seclusion, all major family matters require their permission.

However, Hua Tian Chi Yue is still only an immortal...

He has now stepped down as clan leader and become the Supreme Protector. It is a promotion in name only, and he will lose the enormous power to control the entire clan. What he will get is just an empty title!

This clearly shows that Hua Tianqiu no longer trusts him and wants to abolish him.

His throat was dry, and he wanted to say something, but the words stopped in his throat.

The victor is king, the loser is villain. His plan has failed, and Hua Tianqiu could not possibly be unaware of his intentions.

Hua Tianqiu already held the highest position in the clan, and now with the prestige of having made a pact with the third clan, what difficulty would it be to replace a clan leader?

Although Hua Tianchi Yue had cultivated his influence within the clan for many years, his strength was insufficient, and he ultimately had no say in front of the Immortal King!

He gritted his teeth and remained silent.

"Hey……"

Hua Tianyun and the others couldn't help but sigh.

From their perspective, Hua Tianchi Yue was also considering the future of the Hua Tian clan, but now, naturally they wouldn't oppose Hua Tianqiu Dao for his sake.

After all, it doesn't matter who becomes the clan leader.

Hua Tianqiu glanced coldly at Hua Tianchiyue, then said, "It's time to shut down the great formation."

The three supreme beings, Hua Tianyun and Ao, acted instantly, shutting down the layers of royal formations one by one.

The terrifying killing intent dissipated, and the overwhelming aura receded. Outside the underground palace, many family elders and those in power finally saw what was inside.

"The Ancestor Seeking the Dao is still alive!"

"Was there no bloodshed?"

"That's wonderful... After all, the Ancestor Seeking the Dao is an Immortal King of our clan. If a great battle breaks out and a King falls, it would be an immeasurable loss for our clan!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Hua Tianqiu was still alive.

"Greetings, esteemed ancestors!"

Hua Tiansong immediately performed a grand ceremony.

The other elders also joined in the chant.

Hua Tianqiu waved his hand calmly and said, "With the help of Young Master Xingluoyuan, I have rid myself of demonic thoughts. From now on, the Hua Tian clan will advance and retreat together with the Third Clan. Young Master Xingluoyuan will be an honored guest of our clan!"

Upon hearing this, the entire clan was overjoyed!

"Great!"

“I knew it. Young Master Xingluoyuan is the holy son of the Third Clan. He must have a way to save Ancestor Qiudao.”

"Hahaha... With the help of Young Master Xingluoyuan, our clan will surely prosper for tens of thousands of years!"

They all spoke up, very excited.

Among the crowd, Hua Tianqingxue was instantly stunned...

what?

Hua Tianqiu is still alive, and Xing Luoyuan has even reached a cooperation agreement with him?

What about her father's plan...?

"From this day forward, Hua Tianchiyue will become the Supreme Protector and step down as clan leader. Hua Tiansongming will succeed him as clan leader."

Hua Tianqiu Dao even made it public!

These words shocked everyone present.

"The clan leader has acted recklessly this time, actually triggering a killing formation..."

Some people shook their heads.

“The Ancestor of Seeking the Dao was displeased. He had not yet advanced to the Supreme level, yet he was to become the Supreme Protector. From then on, he would be neglected.”

Someone sighed.

"To retain a leisurely position as a Supreme Protector is already a matter of prestige; to mobilize such deadly intent against him is unacceptable."

Everyone could see that the era of Hua Tian Chi Yue... had come to an end.

"Why?! Why?!"

Hua Tianqingxue was struck dumb, as if by lightning.

Her face was pale, and her body was trembling slightly.
