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

Chapter 1764

After all, if Li Lan, like Gu Tingyi, used the shackles of life to control her, how could she believe that Li Lan and Gu Tingyi were two different kinds of people, and how could she believe that Li Lan would keep his promise to take her away in the future?

"The most recent selection took place in the Dark River."

She spoke up and told Li Lan in detail about Gu Tingyi's selection of alchemy servants.

Li Lan nodded and said, "Alright, then we shall part ways here."

Yue Nu must go back to see Gu Tingyi first. Li Lan can only get close to the Heavenly Evil Furnace and find a chance to leave this world by disguising himself as a strange creature and passing the selection.

"You...be careful."

Before parting, Yue Nu couldn't help but give one more piece of advice.

The two parted ways.

Li Lan did not rush to the Dark River, but instead hunted in the nearby mountains and fields, killing many strange creatures and collecting their strange auras.

In addition, he even tried to directly introduce eerie energy into his life essence.

In just three months, he became filled with an eerie aura, completely transforming into a strange being that no one could tell the difference.

So he changed his appearance and grew a pair of wings on his back—the only “unspeakable” thing he could accept.

Then he put on his cloak and immediately headed for the Dark River.

Before the other shore fell into the bizarre, there were many forces, and the Dark River was one of the super forces, with countless powerful figures who ruled over a region.

He had previously learned about the Dark Moon Ancestor, and now with the help of Moon Slave, he was quite familiar with the Dark Nether River. He bypassed many defenses and took three days to reach a mountain range.

This mountain range is known as "Dark Bone Mountain," and has been the burial place of the Dark River since ancient times.

The strongest figures of all time are buried here. Originally, it was just a cemetery. However, since the arrival of the strange phenomenon, life and death have been reversed. Strong figures who died here often return as new strange creatures. Moreover, these strange creatures are not weak in talent, so they are highly valued.

Li Lan dug a hole and buried himself in it, letting himself be imbued with the atmosphere of this place.

I stayed there for half a month.

On this day, suddenly someone arrived. Several stewards of the Dark River drove a group of Dark River people with lower cultivation levels to this place.

"Your lineage is far too weak, only now having mutated to this extent. It's a waste for you to be alive. From this day forward, you will only become 'blood slaves' of the Dark River. If you can guide our predecessors back, we will spare your lives; otherwise, you will bleed to death here—"

The head deacon spoke in a cold voice.

"Deacon Roy, give us another chance! We're sure we can become qualified Outcasts!"

"Yes, we can definitely shed our human identities and evolve into Otherworlders, please..."

Many people were pleading, but the deacon coldly said, "Stop arguing. Will you do it yourselves, or will we do it?"

"If we make a move, your lives will be taken in an instant!"

Upon hearing this, the group of cultivators all turned pale and were utterly desperate.

"Forget it, forget it, who told us to be so humane?"

"Sigh, if only I could be indescribable too. Being a 'half-human' really gives you absolutely no status..."

"Stop complaining. The only chance now is if we can really bring back a master, and then we'll have a chance to go back."

The group of "half-humans" were all sighing and then they began to search for the graves and other things in the area.

"This senior's grave is mine, and I will take care of it!"

"Why should I give it to you? This senior is the number one expert in the history of my Dark River. He has the highest probability of returning. Why should I give it to you?"

"The more powerful someone was in life, the greater the probability of them being summoned back by some strange force. Since you're not convinced, let's have a fight..."

The scene was filled with arguments, but the deacons didn't bother to intervene. Before long, the graves on site had been almost completely divided up.
