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

"Senior, please lead the villagers away immediately. I will stay here to cover your retreat and come back to find you once you are safe."

The descendants of the Venerable One and all the saints are now living a very difficult life.

Most of them were killed, and the remaining branch went into hiding, dwindling to only about a hundred people. Even their cultivation methods seemed to have been completely severed; there wasn't a single cultivator to be found in the entire village...

Now they're being targeted by the Zhu family...

If we don't take action, they might all really die!

"No,"

Ming Zilou shook his head and laughed, "We should have died long ago. We are already content to know the news of Mingzun and the saints and to see their bones return to their homeland."

"Young friend, I only need you to help me take one person away."

Li Lan asked, "Qingqing?"

He observed with his spiritual eye that among the young people in the village, there were four or five with good aptitude, but the best one was Ming Zilou's granddaughter, Ming Qingqing!

“That’s right. She is the only one among all the descendants who can inherit the Mingzun’s methods. Letting her leave will prevent the Mingzun’s bloodline from being cut off.”

"As for us, young friend, you can't save us... The Zhu family was once a family under the command of the Bright Lord, but they later turned against us. Therefore, their killing intent towards us is even greater than that of the current Celestial Court..."

Although Ming Zilou was just a mortal, he had a very clear understanding of the situation: "It was already extremely difficult and risky for you to take Qingqing away. If others were to drag you down, it would only lead to everyone's death!"

Li Lan felt very heavy-hearted.

He certainly understood that what Ming Zilou said was true. Now the entire Sinful State was under the control of the major forces of the Celestial Court, and it was simply unrealistic to take everyone in the village away!

But are we just going to stand by and watch them get killed?!

"Clear!"

Ming Zilou called out, and Ming Qingqing walked in. Ming Zilou said, "Qingqing, this is your elder brother Lan Li. From now on, treat him as your own elder brother. Remember to listen to him, understand?"

It's already an intention to entrust the child to someone else!

"Grandpa, I won't go, I don't want to leave you!"

Upon hearing this, Ming Qingqing's eyes welled up with tears, and she knelt before Ming Zilou: "Qingqing doesn't want to leave!"

"Foolish! Only if you leave can we avenge ourselves later. Remember, you are a descendant of the Mingzun..."

Ming Zilou was also in tears. He looked up and said, "Young friend, my clan still has an ancestral heirloom, the scale of a true dragon! We have survived until now to protect this thing. This thing is related to the safety of the entire Immortal Realm. Back then, all the saints said that if they failed to resist the strange calamity, this thing could open up another chance for life for all living beings in the Immortal Realm..."

"Throughout history, various forces have been trying to find this item. We have also released many fake dragon scales to confuse all parties. Even the Zhu family actually obtained a fake dragon scale."

"But in fact, the real dragon scale was already taken into the Wanyuan Mountain Range by the direct disciple of the Mingzun, the Great Sage Luo Tian... The Great Sage said that if he could not return, his descendants should take this jade to the Wanyuan Mountain Range to find him and retrieve the dragon scale."

As he spoke, he suddenly stepped forward, removed the threshold stone of the room, and handed it to Li Lan.

Li Lan was stunned for a moment. Was this threshold stone the same as that piece of jade?

"This item has been refined by the Great Sage of Luo Tian. Unless the Supreme Immortal Venerable comes in person, no one can tell the difference. Moreover, this item is called the Ruyi Treasure Jade, which can be changed at will and is extremely convenient to hide."

Mingzi Lou said, "When you go to search for the dragon scales, young friend, you only need to do this..."

He explained the method to Li Lan in detail.

With a single movement, Li Lan transformed the enormous threshold stone into an ordinary thumb ring, which he then wore on his hand.

Now that things have come to this, Ming Zilou is truly prepared to lead the entire village to their deaths, entrusting all his hopes to Li Lan!

Li Lan felt heavy-hearted and asked, "Senior, since you have already released fake dragon scales to mislead the outside world, why is the Zhu family still going to such lengths to find you? Do you have other plans?"
