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

Li Lan's words were like knives!

This is blatant intimidation.

Since his identity as Li Lan was exposed, he could no longer keep a low profile in the Immortal Realm!

Since that's the case, let's act boldly!

Cao Yueshu and Mu Jianxian were worried that this would give him a pretext to provoke the Celestial Court to take action, but Li Lan thought the opposite was true. The more high-profile he was, the more the Celestial Court would be wary of him.

Those who rule the Celestial Court are not fools. Just like the Southern King and the Qi King, even though the Feather King did not believe that Li Lan was the Black Emperor's special envoy, the Southern King and the Qi King did not dare to gamble. Similarly, the people of the Celestial Court did not dare to gamble either!

That illusory "Black Emperor" background is Li Lan's greatest asset.

The more arrogant and domineering Li Lan is, the more people will believe his "background".

At the same time, he was indeed warning the Celestial Court.

"remember?"

He gave the immortal general a cold look.

This immortal general, a dignified Golden Immortal, was no weakling, yet at this moment he inexplicably felt Li Lan's aura pressing down on him, making it hard for him to breathe. He could only grit his teeth, lower his head, and remain silent.

Li Lan ignored him and said, "Let's go."

Cao Yueshu and Mu Jianxian were both filled with worry, so they had no choice but to leave with Li Lan.

……

After leaving the border and heading inland, sure enough, all the large and small forces and cultivators who had migrated because of the fall of the border had returned.

All the major cities seemed to be thriving.

"Thanks to the Celestial Court, otherwise the entire Northern Frontier might have already fallen."

"Yes, the Celestial Court's intervention brought us a century of peace!"

"With the strength of the Northern Frontier alone, we are no match for the Gray Mist. I wonder if the Celestial Court has any follow-up plans?"

In the streets and alleys, men, women, and children alike are praising the great kindness and virtue of the Celestial Court.

From the perspective of worldly cultivators, they are indeed extremely grateful to the Celestial Court, after all, in their view, it was the Celestial Court that saved them.

Most people in the world blindly follow others. Moreover, the information shown to them by those in power is limited, so how can they distinguish right from wrong?

Having the Celestial Court Covenant in hand is the best evidence.

"Our previous advocacy for war in the northern border region was a mistake; we still need to negotiate!"

"Yes, what was the result of the war? The borders fell, and people were displaced!"

"Heh, that guy named Li Lan, he was trying to gain fame and reputation before, saying that the Mingzun left behind a strategy to repel the enemy, but in the end, wasn't it the Supreme Immortal Emperor who made the move?"

There has been much discussion about it.

In a certain restaurant, Cao Yueshu and Mu Jianxian hosted a welcome dinner for Li Lan. Even though they were in a private room, various conversations could still be heard.

The joy of returning home, the gratitude to the Celestial Court, coupled with the rejection of previous pro-war stances...

That's enough to chill one's heart.

"I told them to get lost."

Cao Yueshu stood up in a deep voice, but Li Lan shook his head and said, "Why bother?"

"drink wine!"

Li Lan smiled and raised his cup, and Cao Yueshu and Mu Jianxian could only raise their cups to drink with him.

"Young friend, what did you gain from venturing into the gray fog?"

Cao Yueshu spoke first.

"The enemy has been successfully repelled. In the gray fog, King Qi and King Nan have agreed not to invade the Immortal Realm for a hundred years. In addition, Sword Saint Dugu is also safe and sound. He is practicing martial arts in the Heavenly King Tower."

Li Lan did not go into detail about the Black Emperor, but only gave a brief overview.

Cao Yueshu and Mu Jianxian were both stunned.

"So, you're the one who truly deserves credit for defeating the gray fog!"

Cao Yueshu frowned deeply; he had realized... this century of peace had nothing to do with the Celestial Court!

Was it Li Lan who orchestrated this? But why...?

The Wooden Sword Immortal frowned and said, "There must be some disagreement here!"

Even they, before Li Lan's return, believed that it was because of the alliance between the Celestial Court and the Gray Mist that the Gray Mist retreated!

But now, after hearing what Li Lan said, I suddenly understood that the one who truly caused the strange creatures to change was probably Li Lan himself.

"In the gray fog, although the Southern King and the Qi King promised not to invade the Immortal Realm, there are other kings who have been cooperating with the Immortal Court for a long time. They do not want to see me gain such great merit and arouse the people's desire for war. Therefore, they deliberately made an alliance with the Immortal Court before my return, so that the Immortal Court could win over the hearts of the people."
