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

Li Lan... could not possibly be a person from the underworld.

He came from the mortal realm.

And in the entire underworld, only that one has the ability to cross the barrier between life and death, the boundary between yin and yang, and pull a yang soul into the underworld!

In other words, Li Lan is definitely the only one chosen.

"You were brought here from the mortal realm by that one, you are the one and only..."

"I was wrong, everyone was wrong, hahaha, hahahaha..."

At this moment, Xuanyuan Dangtian suddenly burst into maniacal laughter. He looked at Li Lan and said, "I was wrong, Yang Yi was wrong, Lin Ruoxue was wrong, even the source was wrong... Hahaha!"

He seemed to see something ridiculous and absurd, and he both cried and laughed.

"I can't go back, I can't go back..."

He felt his own demise and found it utterly ironic. He, a person who came from the mortal realm, had almost reached the pinnacle in the underworld, but now, he was about to be killed by the energy of the mortal realm...

"I still have a sliver of strength left. If I fight to the death, I can still seriously injure you, or spread this matter!"

After a long pause between laughter and tears, he suddenly stared at Li Lan and said solemnly, "Promise me one thing!"

Li Lan remained silent, but he had already said, "I possess the ancestral artifact of the Dao Palace. This artifact cannot be buried in the underworld, otherwise Xuanyuan Dangtian will become the eternal sinner of the Dao Palace!"

"After you have traversed the underworld, you must bring this item back to the mortal realm and hand it over to the people of the Dao Temple—"

In his hand now stood an ancient yin-yang symbol!

He shoved the yin-yang symbol into Li Lan's hand, stared intently at her, and said, "Promise me!"

He was eager to return to the mortal realm, not only because of his own instinct for survival, but more importantly... because this item would affect the rise and fall of the entire Dao Palace.

Now, with no hope of survival and about to perish completely, at this final moment, he actually let go of his hatred for Li Lan and instead regarded Li Lan as the only person he could entrust with his life!

Li Lan was taken aback for a moment, hesitated for a second, and then nodded!

Xuanyuan Dangtian is, after all, a master of the Dongzhen level. If he goes all out, he might have a chance to get the message out.

Li Lan possesses the Limitless Battle Technique and wields Pure Yang Thunder Qi... This cannot be revealed to Lin Ruoxue, Yang Yi, and the others at this time.

Seeing that Li Lan agreed, Xuan Yuan Dangtian finally had his wish fulfilled. He collapsed to the ground, sat cross-legged, and gave a bitter smile:

"I, Xuanyuan Dangtian, have traversed the realms of Yin and Yang for countless years. To die at your hands is not shameful..."

"Back then, I was captured by that person, but my soul managed to escape. I thought it was because I was clever enough. Now it seems that person just kept me in the flow of time to serve as a stepping stone for you..."

"What is this life? It's nothing but a dream, a dream!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his body completely melted away, disappearing from the world!

The surrounding confusion dissipated, and the sunlight shone again, falling on Li Lan.

He reappeared above Hengdao Mountain.

"He's out?"

"What's going on?"

"Where is the Old Man of Heavenly Secrets?"

Everyone looked over, and upon seeing this scene, they were all filled with questions.

Li Lan did not answer. Sensing something, he gently raised his eyes. In the next instant, a heavenly path slowly emerged from around him, then collapsed instantly, turning into large swaths of light feathers that fell and merged into the surrounding rules of heaven and earth. A strange mournful melody resounded!

"What's going on? Could this be the legendary... collapse of the Dao?"

"Only when the most powerful figure falls will the Dao collapse, could it be..."

"impossible!"

This scene shocked everyone.

"Woof, you killed him?!"

The big black dog spoke up immediately, already understanding what had happened and utterly shocked, "Kid, you're a monster!"

Even the Ninth Emperor stared blankly at Li Lan and said, "The Heavenly Mystery Elder died at your hands?"

"The Old Man of Heavenly Secrets was indeed a hero of his time, what a pity..."

Xia Jingmo sighed, then stared at Li Lan and said, "You're very strong!"

It was only three words, but coming from someone of his stature, it was enough to show that he had truly taken Li Lan seriously.

Upon hearing this, everyone around fell into a deathly silence, the room becoming extremely quiet.
