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

"To be honest, although the site of Yu the Great's Dao is right before our eyes, it is also worlds away and cannot be touched."

Li Chengfeng continued, "Our Li family has researched this and found that entering it would require a huge price, which our Li family cannot afford. Therefore, since everyone is willing to develop it together, it would be the best thing."

Everyone suddenly realized what was going on. Long Yin from the Crimson Blood Group asked, "Brother Li, why don't you just say what price you need to pay?"

Li Chengfeng said, "The Nine Cauldrons were formed by melting the blood and fire of the human race. Therefore, to enter the secret realm, one must sacrifice to the cauldrons, and the method of sacrifice... is to sacrifice a human!"

"We need to sacrifice cultivators!"

"Every family that wants to participate in the development of this place needs to provide twenty young cultivators with exceptional talent!"

He spoke directly, and everyone's expression changed.

"Human sacrifice...this is just too inhumane!"

"We still need to use young cultivators? This...this is a bit unreasonable..."

"Twenty exceptionally talented individuals are extremely valuable to any corporation. Are we really going to use them as sacrifices?"

Although the essence of modern society is still the law of the jungle where the strong prey on the weak, it has at least donned the cloak of civilization. The ancient and bloody sacrificial practices now sound terrifying, and many people subconsciously resist them, especially young cultivators who are somewhat disgusted by them!

"Professor Wang, is there any origin to this claim?"

The Dragon Seal of the Crimson Blood Group looked at Wang Yuan.

Wang Yuan pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I'm not sure, but human sacrifice was indeed the highest form of sacrificial ritual in ancient times!"

While everyone hesitated, Zhong Qingyun stepped forward and took the initiative to speak:

"What else is there to doubt? The secret realm is right before our eyes. If anyone can open it, they should go forward and give it a try. It would be best if they could find a better method than the Li family's. If not, then the Zhong family is willing to send twenty people!"

Upon hearing this, people from the Sanhe Group, the Chixue Group, and other forces stepped forward, trying to find a way to enter the secret realm, but despite their best efforts, they were unable to do so.

Chen Jinhua examined it repeatedly, but in the end he could only sigh.

Li Lan remained silent, observing coldly from the sidelines!

"Alright, I, the Zhong family, agree!"

Seeing that everyone was at a loss, Zhong Qingyun was the first to respond to Li's call, and looked at Chen Jinhua and the others: "Elder Chen, Brother Long, Fellow Daoist Zhengyun, what about you?"

The group hesitated, but Wang Zhengyun said, "This is a matter of great importance; please allow us some time to consider it!"

Li Chengfeng smiled calmly and didn't press the issue, saying, "Alright, everyone can discuss it."

Immediately, people from all the major factions began to discuss the matter, and Wang Zhengyun and others even used satellite phones to communicate with the group's senior management.

“Elder, in my opinion, there’s no need to report this matter. Human sacrifice requires the death of twenty innocent cultivators, which is inconsistent with the principles of our Restoration Dao Group!”

At this moment, Zeng Chenglin was the first to speak from within the Fudao Group, his expression solemn!

The reason why the Fudaozhe Group is called "Fudaozhe" is because it considers itself a defender of the Dao. Among the major groups, it is also regarded as the most conservative, advocating the orthodoxy of Chinese civilization and the continuation of the Dao lineage.

Chen Jinhua nodded, but he was also conflicted. After all, given his position, in addition to considering the group's mission, he also needed to take into account the gains and losses of the interests involved.

If they disagree, they will definitely be excluded and can only watch as other forces divide up the legacy of Yu the Great.

"Twenty people in exchange for the legacy of Yu the Great, it's worth it no matter what."

At this moment, Bai Ruijie suddenly smiled and said, "Elder Chen, I think that abandoning the legacy of Yu the Great for the sake of nominal good and evil is the most foolish thing to do."

Before Chen Jinhua could speak, Zeng Chenglin said sternly, “Young Master Ruijie, the more critical the moment, the more we must stand on the debate between good and evil. Otherwise, what difference is there between our Fudao Zhe Group and them?”

Bai Ruijie shrugged and spread his hands: "Master Zeng, the legacy of Yu the Great is the orthodox tradition of China. If we don't even have the qualifications to inherit the orthodox tradition of China, how can the Fudao Group claim to be the continuation of the orthodox tradition of China?"
