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

But the scene at this moment is inexplicable by common sense!

Even Li Lan was deeply shocked.

Does the concept of immortality truly still exist in this world?

Even though he had some guesses and premonitions in his heart, what was happening now was still beyond his understanding.

"A celestial being descends! A ...!"

On the altar, Emperor Xianxian seemed to have gone mad. He knelt before the stone tablet, waiting and watching in vain. He even cut open his wrist and poured the liquid onto the stone tablet.

Suddenly, the lightning and thunder intensified, and the clouds collapsed, creating an extremely astonishing celestial phenomenon.

A brilliant yellow light shone forth, and within the stone tablet, a blurry figure seemed to appear, uttering only a few ethereal and distant words:

"...Insufficient dragon blood...fate remains unchanged..."

The figure flickered a few times before disappearing, and the yellow light gradually subsided, restoring the clear and bright sky.

"No, it's impossible!"

Emperor Xianxian stood up and roared, "I am the true Son of Heaven, the true dragon of this era! Why, why is my blood not enough to break that seal, to break that shackle? This heaven and this earth should be ruled by me alone, by me alone!"

To witness the immortal's presence yet fail at the last moment, to prepare for countless years yet never meet him—this was utterly unacceptable to the Emperor of the Immortal Realm!

"I want to become an immortal! I want to become an immortal! Hahaha, I want to become an immortal..."

The emperor, who looked down upon the world and commanded the fear of all his officials, was now both crying and laughing, as if he had lost his mind!

And at this very moment—

"Kill! The true dragon has appeared; the old dragon must die!"

"The tyrant is wicked and should be executed! The true dragon has appeared; the old dragon must die!"

"The true dragon has appeared; the old dragon must die!"

Suddenly, a huge roar erupted from among the prisoners, and dozens of figures rushed toward the altar at great speed. The surrounding guards were caught off guard and could not react in time. Even if there were one or two experts, they were helpless at this moment!

The assassins finally revealed themselves and began their ultimate objective—

Assassinate!

Among the crowd, the Third Prince Li Guan, whose face was gloomy, finally let out a slight breath and the corners of his mouth turned up!

……

An assassin has appeared!

Everyone present was drawn to the commotion caused by the stone tablet. Caught off guard, they were all horrified!

"Escort!"

"Escort!"

Many people hurriedly shouted.

The surrounding guards drew their swords, and more than a dozen figures appeared from the shadows, landing directly around Emperor Xianxian. Judging from their speed and agility, even the weakest among them were first-rate experts, and there were even some top-tier powerhouses!

In this world where martial prowess reigns supreme, how could Emperor Xianxian possibly be without skilled protectors?

The mere presence of these skilled individuals is enough to thwart the assassins' plans!

"Escort!"

Among the many experts protecting the emperor, the leader was an old man with white hair. With a wave of his sleeve, his whole body swelled up like a large ball. He struck out with his palm, which had the power to split stone and shatter monuments. A gust of wind swept out, and the assassins who rushed to the front were forced back.

But as the palm struck, the white-haired old man suddenly let out a miserable cry, spitting out a mouthful of blood. He collapsed to the ground, his face pale, his limbs trembling, and he said in a trembling voice:

"Nine-Medicine Yuan-Breaking Powder?!"

As he collapsed, the other experts around him fell one after another, at varying speeds—they had activated their internal energy and finally triggered the toxins within their bodies!

"Oh no...we've been poisoned!"

Seeing that the emperor was already protected, Zhao Tanyue immediately landed in front of the empress. However, when she exerted her strength, her expression changed drastically, and blood spilled from the corner of her mouth!

Her face turned pale, and she looked slightly frightened. She subconsciously looked in Li Lan's direction.

She and Li Lan had made preparations against the assassins in the prison, but the fact that everyone in the room was poisoned was beyond her expectations.

In this way, the situation that was originally a sure thing suddenly became dangerous, and the plan she and Li Lan made was probably going to go wrong!
