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

Chapter 2241

Upon seeing Bai Xinglu's challenge, Li Lan showed no fear whatsoever; he was ready to accept the challenge.

But at that moment, the old man suddenly spoke:

"Xinglu, Li Lan and the others have just arrived here. They must be quite tired after their long journey. Why don't we let them rest for a while?"

"Moreover, you are going to join forces to fight the enemy in those ancient ruins, so don't ruin your relationship because of impatience."

Bai Xinglu showed great respect to the old man. After hearing what the old man said, Bai Xinglu did not object and nodded slightly.

Then, she looked at Li Lan again and said earnestly:

"Li Lan, you are very capable. I acknowledge you."

After saying that, Bai Xinglu turned and left, returning to her room.

After Bai Xinglu left, the old man sighed and then said:

"Young friend Li Lan, please don't take offense. Xinglu has always been like this."

"She grew up in my Starry Sky Sect from a young age and has been immersed in cultivation ever since. She knows very little about the world, so please forgive her."

Li Lan smiled and shook her head, saying:

"I am incredibly envious of her attitude towards cultivation, so why would I find it strange?"

At this moment, Li Lan suddenly remembered something. He looked at the old man and hurriedly said:

"Old man, how's the matter with Yi Jun going?"

After their last parting on the Tianyan Continent, Elder Cang returned to the Star Sect with news of Yi Jun.

Now that so much time has passed, I wonder if the Starry Sky Sect has resolved this matter.

Upon hearing this, a look of anger immediately appeared on the old man's face, and he said coldly:

"After I brought the news of Yi Jun's death back to the sect, the elders and sect leader were immediately furious and all wanted to avenge Yi Jun."

"But when we arrived at the Star Devouring Sect of the Great Black Heaven, we found that it had become a heavily guarded sect."

"Even though the sect leader of my Starry Sky Sect possessed the realm of a high god, he still couldn't completely wipe out the Star Devouring Sect."

"Because at some point, that place had been taken under the control of the Great Black Buddha Mother and became her direct sect, which is now heavily guarded."

"Just as we were about to take action, we encountered many of the followers of the Great Black Mother."

“If we continue to entangle ourselves, the Great Black Buddha Mother will definitely go there. At that time, even we will not be able to escape unscathed, so we can only retreat back to the Azure Heaven Realm.”

Upon hearing this, Li Lan was immediately startled.

He never expected that the Star Devouring Sect would change so much after he left, becoming a direct branch of the Great Black Buddha Mother.

In this way, the overall strength of the Star Devouring Sect is probably comparable to that of the hidden sects in the Great Black Heaven.

"Is it the Great Black Buddha Mother again?"

Li Lan narrowed his eyes slightly. He had faced the Great Black Buddha Mother before and knew her terrifying strength.

However, he believed that when he reached the level of a high god, he would no longer fear the Great Black Buddha Mother.

It seems that now is not the time to avenge Yi Jun.

"I understand. Thank you, Elder Cang, for everything you've done for Yi Jun."

The old man waved his hand and said:

"That's to be expected. After all, Yi Jun was a once-in-a-century genius in our Starry Sky Sect, and everyone in the sect attaches great importance to his safety."

"Although we did not avenge Yi Jun, the Star Devouring Sect has become a puppet of others and will never amount to anything again. This can be considered as getting justice for Yi Jun."

"I should thank you for that, young friend Li Lan."

"If you hadn't secretly intervened back then, the Star Devouring Sect wouldn't be in this state now."

Li Lan nodded slightly, not dwelling on the topic any further.

After asking the old man for more information about the ancient ruins, Li Lan left the old man's room with Su Yao.

The opening of the ancient ruins is drawing ever closer, and countless powerful figures have arrived on the Central Continent.
