Chapter 150 Leaving the Immortal Inquiry Sect and Becoming a Carefree Man Again (4000 chapters)

Lan Qingxian left the Ascension Path and entered an unstable space to search for a way to the Upper Realm.

Lai Yang was left alone on the path to immortality, with no more worries.

Lai Yang crossed the Blackwater River and returned to the outer area of ​​the Ascension Path. He then unleashed his divine sense and boundless blood energy without restraint, and flew through the air.

Lai Yang directly exposed himself to danger, attracting numerous insectoid monsters hidden in the mountains to attack him.

In their eyes, Lai Yang, with his surging and vigorous blood and energy, was like an ultimate delicacy, and eating him would surely bring great benefits.

In an instant, countless insectoid and demonic creatures were drawn by the aura emanating from Lai Yang and frantically attacked him.

The surrounding cultivators were dumbfounded upon seeing this.

"Holy crap, who the hell is that? Daring to fly on the Path to Immortality, they're practically asking for death."

"Fool, he's doomed. No matter how strong he is, he can't stop these swarms of insectoid monsters. They'll wear him down to death."

"Quick, let's get out of here while he's distracted by the monsters."

In no time, the number of insectoid monsters almost covered the sky, a dense mass that would trigger trypophobia in anyone who saw it.

Upon seeing this, Lai Yang not only showed no fear, but couldn't help but smile.

The Zerg monsters are bad in every other way, but good in that they are numerous and reproduce quickly.

Although not every monster can increase his attribute points, as the saying goes, quantity leads to quality, and there are at least hundreds of thousands of insects at a glance.

Lai Yang unleashed a terrifying sword intent, a sword intent at its pinnacle that seemed to cleave space itself, the sword energy forming a domain around him.

Wherever Lai Yang went, he slaughtered everything in his path with overwhelming force. The corpses of countless insectoid monsters fell from the sky to the ground, as if a rain of insect corpses was falling between the mountains.

In the same realm, Lai Yang is absolutely invincible.

Even if the enemy's numbers were vast, they would only be able to lay their necks on the chopping block; it was just a matter of whether they died sooner or later.

Hearing the system notifications constantly ringing in his ears, Lai Yang could feel his physical cultivation steadily improving little by little.

"Hahaha, come and fight! I'm going to kill all of you insects!"

Lai Yang's killing intent surged ever stronger, darkening the sky and earth, making him resemble a demon god descending to earth, inspiring fear and dread in everyone.

Lai Yang swung his spirit sword in mid-air, each strike killing dozens or even hundreds of insectoid monsters instantly.

Fifth rank, one sword.

Sixth rank, one sword.

Seventh rank, and still just one sword strike!
Lai Yang killed them as easily as crushing insects, leaving everyone speechless with astonishment.

Those hundreds of thousands of insectoid monsters would likely be too much for even a peak Tribulation Realm expert to withstand for long before perishing.

The person in the sky showed no signs of tension or fatigue; on the contrary, he fought with increasing ferocity, his swordsmanship becoming ever more formidable, and he killed more and more insectoid monsters.

The number of insectoid monsters in the sky was decreasing rapidly at a visible rate, but Lai Yang's aura did not weaken in the slightest.

Some people lurked in the shadows, hoping to reap the benefits, but when Lai Yang discovered them, he sent them to their deaths with a single, merciless sword strike.

Upon seeing this, the group of people with ill intentions immediately abandoned their plans and fled in terror.

Gradually, Lai Yang single-handedly slaughtered hundreds of thousands of insectoid monsters, leaving only less than 100,000 insectoids, most of whom were weak insectoid monsters.

The insectoid monsters looked at Lai Yang again, as if they had seen something terrifying, and fled back into the mountains, not daring to rush up again.

"Look, he drove back those insectoid monsters! My God, who is this guy? He's even more monstrous than a monster. I've never heard of him before."

"Could it be a super strong expert from some reclusive clan?"

"This person possesses unparalleled talent and combat prowess; he should not be provoked lightly."

"Speaking of which, why did he kill those insectoid monsters? With such terrifying strength, why didn't he delve deeper into the Path to Immortality to seek immortal opportunities?"

People were puzzled, and many used various means to record this shocking scene.

Lai Yang killed for several days and nights, eventually frightening these insectoid monsters.

The remaining monsters were scattered throughout the mountains, and they were all weak monsters. It wouldn't be worth it for him to chase after them; it would be a waste of time.

Lai Yang glanced at his attribute panel details and saw that each attribute had been significantly improved, which was equivalent to saving him four or five years of development time.

“It’s about time we left the Path to Immortality.” Lai Yang pondered for a moment, then flew towards the exit of the Path to Immortality.

This time, no insectoid monsters dared to appear to obstruct or attack him. The dense resentment of the insectoid monsters wrapped around him made them tremble in fear.

Before long, Lai Yang broke through the void and returned to the Immortal Inquiry Continent.

Upon seeing Lai Yang emerge from the Ascension Path, the elders of the Immortal Inquiry Sect who were guarding nearby immediately appeared: "Elder Lai, you're back. Where is the Sect Master?"

Lai Yang turned to look at the other person and shook his head: "Let's go back to the Immortal Asking Sect to discuss the matter of the sect leader first."

The elder from the Wenxian Sect looked puzzled, but then nodded.

The elders of the Wenxian Sect relayed the message back to the sect.

Upon hearing that Lai Yang had emerged from the Ascension Path, the elders of the Immortal Inquiry Sect came out to greet him and offer him a welcome feast.

"Elder Lai, you entered the Path to Immortality with the Sect Master, why did you come out alone? Could it be that the Sect Master...?" An elder, seeing that only Lai Yang had returned, immediately realized something was wrong and couldn't help but ask.

"Elders, please don't misunderstand. The sect leader is not dead, it's just..." Lai Yang paused, his face showing hesitation.

"But what? Elder Lai, please speak up, don't keep us in suspense."

"The sect leader has gone deep into the path to immortality to find a way to the upper realm, so I'm the only one who came out." Lai Yang sighed slightly. "The sect leader said she doesn't want to stay on the Immortal Ascension Continent and perish when her time comes. She wants to go to the upper realm to find the opportunity to become an immortal."

Everyone was slightly shocked.

"Has the sect leader entered the depths of the Ascension Path?"

"You should know that no one who has entered the depths of the Path to Immortality has ever come out."

"We expected the Sect Leader to make this choice." "These are just his side of the story. How can we be fooled by him? Who truly knows whether the Sect Leader actually entered the Upper Realm or was killed on the Path to Immortality by someone?"

Just then, a sharp, sarcastic, and untimely voice rang out.

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned and turned their gazes toward the person who had spoken.

Lai Yang recognized the speaker and a murderous intent rose in his heart.

The other party's words at this time were clearly an attempt to harm him, and their intentions were extremely malicious.

"Elder Meng, what do you mean by that? Are you implying that Elder Lai caused the sect leader's death on the path to immortality?" The First Elder frowned and said in a deep voice.

"I never said that Elder Lai killed the sect leader on the Path to Immortality. I'm just reminding everyone not to believe what some people say. Think about it: the sect leader went deep into the Path to Immortality alone, and the opportunity to become an immortal was right in front of you. Would you be willing to give it up so easily? The fact is that Elder Lai left the Path to Immortality alone. Words are not enough. Can you produce some evidence to convince people?" Meng Changgeng said eloquently.

“I think Elder Meng is right. If the sect leader’s soul lamp goes out, how can we know whether the sect leader has left or was murdered?”

"Unless Elder Lai can provide convincing evidence, we will find it hard to accept that the sect leader would abandon us."

Several elders who were on good terms with Meng Changgeng immediately stood up and spoke up for him.

Three people make a tiger, and people's words are scary.

They clearly intended to frame Lai Yang and ruin his reputation.

Upon hearing their words, many elders' expressions wavered, unsure of whom to believe.

clap clap clap!
Suddenly, a series of crisp claps rang out.

Everyone looked at Lai Yang with suspicion and uncertainty. Others suspected him of murdering the sect leader of the Wenxian Sect, yet he was applauding them? What did he mean by this?
"Hahaha, elder, to be honest, I really have to admire you. You are really good at enduring. You have been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, haven't you?" Lai Yang looked at the group as if they were a few clowns and laughed disdainfully.

Meng Changgeng's face darkened, and he said coldly, "Hmph, I don't understand what you're talking about. Don't think you can change the subject."

"It must feel bad to lose your son, right? Now that Sect Master Lan Qingxian has left, you finally seized this opportunity, so you're planning to collude with a few scoundrels to frame me? You've really got a clever plan."

Lai Yang's words were like a sharp stab to Meng Changgeng's lungs, almost causing him to break down.

"I'm just stating the facts. How dare you frame me? If you think I'm wrong, you can show us the evidence," Meng Changqiang said coldly, suppressing his anger.

"Evidence? Heh, anyone can talk big. You say I killed the sect leader on the Ascension Path, then show me the evidence. How did I kill the sect leader on the Ascension Path? Did you see it with your own eyes? If you don't have evidence, what makes you say I killed the sect leader?"

"Just because you left the Path to Immortality alone, and the Sect Master's Soul Lamp went out, everyone knows what the extinguishing of the Soul Lamp signifies. Do I need to elaborate?"

"Interesting. So, according to you, because the sect leader's soul lamp went out, I am the murderer who killed the sect leader?"

"Is not it?"

“Pfft, hahahaha…”

"What are you laughing at? Are you perhaps embarrassed and angry because I've seen through your act?"

Lai Yang composed himself, looked at Meng Changgeng, and said seriously, "What am I laughing at? Of course I'm laughing at your stupidity. It's one thing for you to be stupid, but do you really think everyone else is as stupid as you? What does the extinction of the Soul Lamp mean? What can the Soul Lamp represent? Every word you say is highly misleading. Aren't you just trying to frame me for murdering the sect leader and then deal with me? Why go through all this trouble?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lai Yang's expression changed, and he reached out and grabbed Meng Changgeng's neck with lightning speed.

"Trying to scheme against me? How many lives do you have that I can kill? A piece of trash at the seventh level of the Tribulation Realm, I don't understand where you got the courage." A horrifying killing intent flashed in Lai Yang's eyes.

Everyone's expression changed drastically, and they hurriedly tried to step forward to stop them: "Stop, Elder Lai, put him down, let's talk this out."

Meng Changgeng tried to break free from Lai Yang's control.

However, to his surprise, Lai Yang's hand gripped his neck like an unshakeable pair of iron clamps, rendering him unable to move.

"What do you want to do? You want to kill me? Do you know what crime it is to kill a fellow disciple?" Meng Changgeng shouted in terror.

"Out of consideration for our shared status as elders of the Wenxian Sect and for Lan Qingxian, I was already planning to let you go. But you insisted on courting death. Why did you have to provoke me? Isn't it better to be alive?"

The next moment, the terrifying sword intent burrowed into Meng Changgeng's body through Lai Yang's hand, instantly extinguishing his life force and turning him into a cold corpse.

[Basic Attributes +1]

Mana +1

Lai Yang casually killed a powerful expert at the sixth level of the seventh realm, leaving everyone utterly astonished.

"This person intended to frame me, so I struck first and killed him. Is that right?" Lai Yang turned to look at the people from the Wenxian Sect and said calmly.

"You dared to wantonly kill an elder of the Wenxian Sect. You've gone too far. Elder Meng's words to you are not enough to warrant death."

"Oh, is that so?" Lai Yang conjured a sword with his hand, instantly splitting the elder who had spoken out in two. He then spoke slowly, "He wanted to ruin my reputation, but he didn't deserve to die. Since you're so magnanimous, I'll kill you. Surely you won't blame me when you get to the King of Hell."

In the blink of an eye, Lai Yang's attack instantly killed two elder-level experts, causing everyone to gasp in shock.

They couldn't even see how Lai Yang made his move.

At this moment, even the elders of the Law Enforcement Hall who were on good terms with Meng Changgeng were terrified, like quail eggs, and dared not utter another word, for fear of being killed by Lai Yang with a single sword.

Lai Yang turned to look at the elders, his expression indifferent: "Don't worry, I understand the rules of the Wenxian Sect, and I won't make things difficult for you. From today onwards, I am leaving the Wenxian Sect. Take care of yourselves."

Lai Yang had intended to live a peaceful life in the Wenxian Sect, but he didn't expect to encounter such a distressing thing as soon as he returned. He really couldn't stand the infighting in the sect.

Previously, with Lan Qingxian around, he only needed to stay quietly on Yuanyang Mountain and didn't need to concern himself with other matters of the sect.

Now that Lan Qingxian has left the Wenxian Continent, he doesn't have much of a relationship with the other members of the Wenxian Sect.

With his current strength, there's absolutely no need for him to stay in the Immortal Inquiry Sect any longer. He might as well take this opportunity to leave as soon as possible and have some peace and quiet.

As for Chu Xiao and the others, Lai Yang doesn't need to worry about them at all. Since Lan Qingxian has decided to leave, she must have already made all the arrangements.

With that old man secretly protecting them as they grow up, nothing bad will happen to them.

Lai Yang casually tossed the Elder's token of the Wenxian Sect to the Grand Elder and turned to leave the Wenxian Sect with a relaxed expression.

When Chu Xiao and the others returned from their training and heard about this, they were immediately enraged.

"What?! Master was angered and driven away after returning to the sect from the Ascension Path?!"
