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

A land of a thousand rivers.

"Has the noble patriarch still not returned?"

Inside a large stone hall, people from the Yunbei Sect and the Qinghe Sect interrogated each other with rather hostile expressions.

Liu Ziwen said, "The clan leader is away on important business. If you two have anything to say, you can just tell me directly."

"What business does your clan leader have going out?"

Zhao Chen of the Yunbei Sect pressed him for answers.

Liu Ziwen coldly said, "If you want to know, why don't you go to the Sword Sect and ask my clan leader in person? That would be enough."

In the past, whenever Liu Ziwen mentioned the Sword Sect, both the Yunbei Sect and the Qinghe Sect were very wary of him. But today, Zhao Chen and Wang Danglei exchanged a glance, their expressions quite indifferent.

"The Yuan Clan has been using this excuse for almost a month!"

Wang Danglei said in a deep voice, "The Yuan Clan Chief had previously made a one-month agreement with us. Now that he has disappeared, we ask the Yuan Clan to honor the agreement and sign this contract!"

After saying that, he waved his hand, and a piece of silk paper floated in front of Liu Ziwen. Liu Ziwen picked it up and glanced at it, and his face immediately darkened.

The agreement stipulated that the Thousand Rivers Abyss Clan must sell the Thousand Rivers Land to the Cloud North Sect and the Qinghe Sect.

Prices are naturally extremely low.

This is a plan to forcibly seize property.

"Do you really think my Yuan Clan has no one left?!"

Liu Ziwen spoke in a cold voice, and as soon as he finished speaking, his aura exploded out.

Foundation-building monk!

Two more Foundation Establishment experts stepped forward, each holding magical artifacts.

"The Yuan Clan is developing very quickly indeed. At this rate, it won't be long before our Yunbei Sect and Qinghe Sect become meat on your chopping block..."

Wang Danglei sneered: "Liu Ziwen, you are far from being able to contend with our two sects!"

As soon as he finished speaking, two astonishing auras emanated from outside the main hall, pressing down on the entire Yuan Clan camp, causing everyone to feel extremely uneasy.

Core Formation cultivator!

Liu Ziwen's eyelids twitched slightly, but he understood that since the Yunbei Sect and Qinghe Sect had already made preparations, there was no point in saying anything.

"It seems you're preparing to become enemies with the true disciples of the Sword Sect?"

His last soft question.

We're ready to take action.

But at that moment, the two Core Formation-level pressures that had enveloped the entire Yuan Clan camp suddenly disappeared.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Wang Danglei and Zhao Chen's expressions changed slightly. What happened?

They all knew that the two sect leaders were the ones secretly preparing to take action.

-- Just three days ago, the Xu family informed them that a powerful figure within the Sword Sect had ordered the annihilation of the Yuan Clan as soon as possible. They were even told that the Yuan Clan's Holy Maiden, Li Yue, was imprisoned at the border and would not be released for three years.

Only after learning this did the two major sects harden their hearts and decide to devour the Yuan Clan.

The two Core Formation Sect Masters, who were secretly lying in wait, suddenly withdrew their oppressive aura. Could it be that there has been some change on the Sword Sect's side?

"Well... it's certainly not our intention to be enemies with the Sword Sect."

Zhao Chen was quick to seize the opportunity. Since the sect leader's attitude had changed, they naturally had to adapt accordingly. "So, Fellow Daoist Liu, give us a definite answer: when exactly will Clan Chief Tang Jian be able to return?"

The tone has softened.

Liu Ziwen frowned slightly, unsure of the reason for the other party's change, but he also breathed a slight sigh of relief and said, "I have nothing to say."

Wang Danglei followed suit, saying, "Fine, fine, since that's the case, let's just wait a few more days!"

After saying that, the two prepared to leave.

But at that moment, a voice suddenly rang out: "Fellow Daoists, there's no need to wait any longer!"

One person had somehow arrived outside the Yuan Clan's main hall, and in an instant, everyone's eyes turned to him.

"Brother Tang!"

"Clan leader!"

"The patriarch is back!"

The Yuan clan members were overjoyed.

Liu Ziwen and the others were even more excited and rushed forward to greet them.

"It's a joyous occasion to see Chief Tang return. I wonder how the matter he mentioned is progressing?"

Zhao Chen asked with a smile, but in his heart he wondered, since Tang Jian returned, the two sect leaders had withdrawn their auras. Could it be that Tang Jian had really brought some turning point to the Yuan Clan?
