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

The human skin trembled without wind, as if it were still conscious.

"Put him on the rack."

Nan Chuan spoke, and two of his subordinates tied Li Lan to a copper-rusted cross. Li Lan could sense that the cross also possessed extraordinary energy, and it was very likely that it was an incredible magical artifact from countless years ago.

Unfortunately, it has now been tainted by the gray fog, its sacredness gone, and it has become an instrument of torture.

"Open your eyes!"

Nan Chuan shouted loudly, and Lin Ruobing, who was sitting cross-legged on the platform, seemed to be stimulated by something. Her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and then she opened her eyes.

When she saw the rack opposite her and the person on it, she was instantly horrified and exclaimed incredulously, "Brother-in-law?!"

……

"The messenger reports that Li Lan has been captured."

At this moment, within this colossal city of bones, two people are playing chess.

Their flesh and blood were indistinguishable from those of humans, showing no trace of any strange creatures.

Only occasionally would a gray mist flash through his eyes.

A middle-aged man dressed in black robes picked up a white chess piece, placed it down, and smiled, saying, "This kid is just a minor immortal, yet the Feather King cares about him so much..."

The middle-aged man opposite him was extremely refined and had a calm demeanor, as if he were a carefree immortal. Hei Zi followed closely behind and said, "King Yu is a master strategist with profound insight. He must have his reasons for asking us to capture Li Lan."

"Let Nanchuan bring Li Lan back and take a look before we decide."

But the man in black robes said, "Nan Chuan said he wanted to use this person to break Lin Ruobing's obsession, and I have already agreed."

The black chess piece in the opponent's hand froze in mid-air as he said, "King Nan, this is the person King Yu wants."

The Southern King looked at the refined man and smiled, "King Qi, King Yu is already very strong. If he obtains another physical body, do you think the two of us can be his match?"

King Qi raised an eyebrow slightly and said, "You and I are nothing but remnants of our past lives, which have been absorbed into the gray mist over the years, resulting in our current state. We will never have flesh and blood bodies in this lifetime. It was King Yu who found the current method that allows you and me to reappear."

“He has been kind to us.”

The King of the South sneered: "People say that the King of Qi is the most humane, and it seems so. You dare to talk about kindness? Don't forget, you are no longer human!"

King Qi remained silent.

"Let the Feather King stay in Lin Ruoxue's body. Once he settles things in the Immortal Realm and has those people sacrifice themselves for us, we can live forever. At that time, the Feather King will no longer need to exist."

The Southern King placed his piece and said, "The Feather King is indeed wise. Hehe, using the power of immortality in the gray mist to tempt the Supreme Immortal Emperor, the Supreme Immortal Emperor will do everything for us, hahaha..."

The more he thought about it, the more he felt the situation was brilliant.

According to the message sent back by the Feather King, the Supreme Immortal Emperor in the Celestial Court is now wavering and has begun to prepare to take that path...

However, the Supreme Immortal Emperor had no idea that when he led the beings of the Immortal Realm onto that path, it was they who truly benefited!

It's just paving the way for them.

"I just think you might be underestimating Li Lan..."

King Qi sighed slightly: "How could someone who could make the Mingzun Demon Soul disappear inexplicably, someone who could cultivate the True Dragon Technique with a human body, and someone who could even attract the Heaven-Mending Tribulation through the Dragon-Fighting Platform be captured by Nanchuan so easily?"

The King of the South said, "Nan Chuan was a sage in life, so what's so strange about him capturing Li Lan?"

Nanchuan was not the biological son of the King of the South.

The bizarre creature...is completely infertile.

Because they were all created by the fusion of lingering resentment and gray mist... monsters!

Nanchuan was merely a remnant of the Great Sage's will, which was nurtured by the Southern King into a strange being, thus becoming his offspring!

……

"Brother-in-law...no, it can't be!"

Lin Ruobing was startled when she saw Li Lan bound, but then she shook her head and bit her lower lip, saying, "My brother-in-law is dead, killed by the Mingzun Demon Soul..."

"You think you can break down the barriers in my heart? Absolutely not... I still need to find a way to revive him; I cannot die yet."
