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

She laughed as she spoke, telling Li Lan many things in great detail. After she finished, she paused for a long, long time before suddenly saying, with a somber tone:

"Teacher, I miss you."

The evening breeze blew, gently lifting her hair. The sound of drums and horns had already begun, and she had no choice but to leave the beacon tower.

"The sound of drums and horns sounds, what urgent matter is it?"

Li Yue asked a question.

"Within the Sinful State, traces of demons have been discovered. All the garrison commanders, summon your men to suppress them."

An old servant appeared silently beside her and reported, "Are you going? The allied forces have offered a generous reward for this mission."

-- Within the garrison of the allied forces, all tasks and military achievements will be rewarded accordingly.

But Li Yue shook his head: "I only fight demons; I won't interfere with their suppression."

She paused for a moment, then said, "I've heard that the people of Sin Province... are all descendants of the saints who fought against the strange beings in the past?"

After following Feng Moping into the Sword Sect, she cultivated the Human Sword and became a core disciple. Therefore, she naturally knew some ancient secrets.

The old servant glanced around and said, "Watch your words!"

The ancient sages... have become increasingly sensitive in this day and age.

Since Gu Songling and other masters returned from the Abyss Realm, rumors have been circulating in the Immortal Realm, claiming that the Supreme Immortal Venerable betrayed the Bright Venerable, causing the saints to die elsewhere and transform into demonic creatures.

The celestial realm has been investigating the source of this rumor for a long time, but has never found the instigator.

In these extraordinary times, Li Yue's remarks are very likely to attract attacks from those with ulterior motives, after all, this involves the current Holy Emperor of the Immortal Realm!

"Those people are indeed related to some powerful figures from ancient times..."

But the old servant responded indirectly, which was considered an affirmation of Li Yue's question.

Li Yue fell silent. She recalled the truth she had heard when facing the demon army in the capital city of Dali in the Abyss Realm. She sighed softly, unsure of which side to take.

After all, the saints have indeed become strange beings, enemies of the entire immortal realm and all living beings, but they have also made great contributions, and may even have been betrayed by the Supreme Immortal Venerable... If only the teacher were here.

Teachers always make the right decisions.

Without giving it any further thought, she asked, "Have you found any trace of Lin Ruobing?"

The old servant said, "She appeared once in Qianling Prefecture a year ago, but disappeared quickly. It seems that she was followed by a master from the Demon Realm. She seems to be looking for some kind of spiritual object to resurrect the dead."

Li Yue said, "Keep searching. Once we find her, I absolutely cannot watch her be ruined by Lin Ruoxue."

……

Abyss Realm.

In the desolate plains, shrouded in eerie mist, steep cliffs stand amidst the treacherous Gobi Desert. The ice that had sealed the cave entrance for many years is now slowly melting into a stream, flowing gently away.

Inside the cave.

The thick black fog disappeared, and everything became clear.

Li Lan was utterly astonished when she saw the figure that appeared.

The cat on the stone table wagged its tail and curiously glanced at the cat twice.

"You are... the Venerable One?"

Li Lan asked a question.

The middle-aged man looked at Li Lan, smiled wistfully, and said, "It's me."

"A mere mortal body, yet able to cultivate a body of true dragon energy, without any taboo or danger... that's quite rare."

"Thank you. If it weren't for your true dragon blood, I wouldn't have been able to awaken."

Li Lan said, "Senior, the demon army is rampaging. Please take action to suppress them!"

Hope was rekindled in his heart.

Although the Demon Realm originated from the saints of the past, they are no longer the same people. Undead cavalry, ancient behemoths, and so on... all seem to have lost their consciousness and become machines driven by killing intent and resentment.

The entire Dali region... has suffered a great calamity because of this.

Perhaps only the Venerable One can resolve this disaster.

But Mingzun shook his head: "It's no use."

"Before our deaths, all the saints and I destroyed ourselves to avoid bringing disaster to the world. Yet we have returned as malevolent and vengeful spirits. This is due to the strange origin of this phenomenon."

"If the source of the strangeness is not eliminated, even if this batch is dealt with, there will be endless more dead who will return."

Li Lan exclaimed in surprise: "The source of the strangeness?"
