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

Li Lan calmly revealed the true meaning behind it.

Although Li Lan is all alone, in a sense, he has now become a banner.

He single-handedly orchestrated the main war effort in the northern frontier, had the Sun Moon Sect and Sword Sect surrounding him, and also possessed the identity of a descendant of the Mingzun.

He was still a proponent of war!

"Young friend, you risked your life and endured countless dangers to achieve peace. Such a great achievement, yet those scum of the Celestial Court have just taken it away?!"

Cao Yueshu was furious and said, "I will go back to the sect immediately. The Sun Moon Sect will absolutely not tolerate such a distortion of the truth!"

The Wooden Sword Immortal also said, "So what if it's the Celestial Court? They've turned black into white; the Sword Sect will not tolerate that!"

They were genuinely furious.

The true heroes who ventured into danger alone, only to return burdened with infamy? And those who truly colluded with the Gray Fog, on the contrary, are revered by the world?

"Why bother?"

Li Lan smiled and said:

"The common people under heaven are like this, born without knowing why, dying without knowing why. We only seek to have a clear conscience in our actions. As for their condemnation or praise of us, what is there to say?"

He smiled nonchalantly and then poured the wine again.

Li Lan was definitely not a hot-blooded youth who would only erupt in anger. He deeply understood that Yu Wang's plan was truly too ruthless, and the overall situation was difficult to change.

Even if he reveals all the details, and the Sun Moon Sect and the Sword Sect speak up for him, what's the point? At most, the people of the world will only have doubts.

After all, the Celestial Court also has evidence of the alliance; whose should the people of the world believe?

Even with the Sun Moon Sect and the Sword Sect, Li Lan is still relatively weak compared to the Celestial Court. If they really want to expose the Celestial Court's conspiracy and distinguish right from wrong, it will ultimately just be empty talk and meaningless.

Moreover, matters concerning the Black Emperor should not be publicized extensively.

The best course of action now is to wait and see, and then make any further plans.

The Celestial Court is not the Li family. The Supreme Immortal Emperor was a figure who was on par with the Bright Venerable back then. After betraying the Bright Venerable, he even reached the realm of the Immortal Emperor and ruled the Immortal Realm for more than 10,000 years. He was a true behemoth.

Moreover, the Celestial Court is also colluding with the Gray Mist, and with a powerful figure like the Feather King joining forces... it won't be easy for Li Lan to break this deadlock.

"Having time is enough!"

Li Lan felt calm yet resolute.

His primary motivation for going to the Gray Fog was to buy time, and now that he has, the core objective has been achieved. As for merit, reputation, and popular support, these are merely secondary considerations for Li Lan.

What he needs to do is grow rapidly.

As long as he has enough immortal energy, he can keep breaking through...

When he becomes powerful enough that he no longer needs to rely on a vague "successor of the Black Emperor" for protection, settling accounts with him will be a piece of cake!

When Cao Yueshu and Mu Jianxian saw that Li Lan was so calm and open-minded, they couldn't help but have complicated expressions and exclaimed, "Young friend, your magnanimity is truly admirable!"

"However, it now seems that the Celestial Court's collusion with the supernatural is a wolf's ambition, and they probably have some serious ulterior motives..."

Cao Yueshu said, "I heard that the Celestial Court seems to be contacting the forbidden beings of the Primordial Era, and there have already been some responses!"

"Those beings who have long since left the Immortal Realm and sought refuge in remote and desolate places in the universe may return to the Immortal Realm in the near future."

The primordial beings of the Immortal Realm have all departed, and have not been seen again for thousands of years.

Li Lan pondered that the Celestial Court would not contact these beings without a reason; their ultimate goal was probably still the path of alienation!

For ordinary cultivators, it is almost impossible to undergo a transformation.

Only those who have mastered the Primordial Techniques or possess those ancient bloodlines can withstand it.

The Li family went to great lengths to set up the Tengshe Water-Taking Formation, all to get Li Hao to take this step.

"Those beings left the Immortal Realm to escape peril; now, why would they easily return?"

Li Lan asked a question.

Even if the Immortal Realm enjoys a hundred years of peace, a hundred years is nothing to cultivators; it's just a blink of an eye. It has no appeal to those primordial forbidden beings.
