I get stronger every day I live.

Chapter 152 Encountering the Evil Cultivators of the Kui Sect Again (4,000 words)
Lai Yang has had Xiao Hei back for some time now.

This little guy went from being a proud little black dog to a gluttonous little black dog. When he couldn't go out, he would follow Lai Yang around, waiting for his meal.

Seeing how clingy it was, Lai Yang couldn't take it anymore and removed the formation from the courtyard.

Then he would disappear without a trace, but would return precisely at mealtimes, without fail.

Lai Yang thought the little guy would take the opportunity to escape, but he didn't expect to be bribed by it after just a few meals.

As expected of a dog, it's fine as long as you give it food.

Lai Yang is currently living a life of utter despair.

He would spend several hours at night meditating and cultivating instead of sleeping, and during the day he would wander around the bustling city like a street urchin.

His favorite place was the largest brothel in Bright Moon City.

Sometimes he would listen to storytellers, sometimes he would listen to operas, and sometimes he would go to the nearby brothels to drink and watch beautiful women dance gracefully. His life was incredibly leisurely and comfortable.

Lai Yang was not short of money; a single ordinary low-grade spirit stone could be exchanged for a hundred taels of silver.

To simply live the same extravagant life as ordinary people.

Not to mention a lifetime, even a thousand lifetimes wouldn't be enough to exhaust the romance and beauty of life.

Unfortunately, Lai Yang had become accustomed to the pristine beauties of the cultivation world, and ordinary, common women could hardly stir any emotion in him anymore.

Standing too high and having too broad a perspective can make it easy to miss out on some simple joys.

Lai Yang leaned against the window, watching the pedestrians coming and going on the street, his expression indifferent.

Suddenly, several figures appeared in Lai Yang's line of sight.

They were dressed in black robes, which almost completely concealed their appearance, making them impossible to see through.

Lai Yang sensed a familiar aura emanating from them, though it was very faint, he could still feel it.

That's deathly energy.

Lai Yang had only ever sensed the same aura on dead corpses or on the bodies of evil cultivators from the Kui Sect.

Lai Yang's eyes narrowed slightly. These people were clearly alive, yet they exuded an aura of death, suggesting they were people who dealt with corpses year-round.

Could they be heretical cultivators from the Kui Sect?

Back in the days of the Floating Life Dynasty, Kui Zong caused quite a stir.

If they really are evil cultivators from the Kui Sect, their presence here at this moment is probably not for any good purpose.

Perfect timing, I'm just killing time anyway, might as well go with them and see what they're up to.

With this thought in mind, Lai Yang completely concealed his aura, as if he had merged with the entire world, and followed the two at a leisurely pace.

Not long after, the two entered the inner city of Bright Moon City, then used tricks to deceive the guards and sneak into the mansion.

Lai Yang, who was following behind them, subconsciously looked up at the name on the gate plaque and saw that it was engraved with five big characters: "Mingyue Tantai Mansion".

“The Mingyue Tantai Mansion is the family residence of the Mingyue City Lord. How dare these two trespass into it like this?”

Lai Yang stepped into the void and immediately appeared inside the Mingyue Tantai Mansion.

The moment he entered the Mingyue Tantai Mansion, Lai Yang sensed that the surrounding space had been completely isolated by a powerful treasure.

Lai Yang was startled, instinctively thinking that he had fallen into the other party's trap.

Suddenly, a huge explosion rang out, and two powerful auras collided violently.

Upon closer inspection, the attackers were the two who had infiltrated the Mingyue Tantai residence, along with a middle-aged man with a chiseled face and an impressive aura.

The powerful figures within the Mingyue Tantai Mansion were suddenly alarmed.

"Assassins! Protect Lord Tantai!"

Several figures exuding the aura of the sixth realm emerged from the mansion and attacked the two men in black robes simultaneously.

Seeing this, the man in black robes remained calm and summoned two coffins emanating a dense aura of death with a wave of his hand.

The moment the coffin was opened, an extremely cold aura swept out, startling everyone and causing them to tremble involuntarily.

A hand emerged from the coffin, and then two corpse puppets, radiating the aura of the Tribulation Transcending Realm, rose from it, their emotionless eyes revealing a cruel and bloodthirsty gaze.

"Seventh-realm corpse puppets! These two are evil cultivators from the Kui Sect!" one of them shouted in terror.

"Hehehe, you got it right, but there's no reward."

"How dare you break into Bright Moon City and kill people? Aren't you afraid that the Immortal Asking Sect will find out and annihilate you all!"

"This place is already shrouded by my treasures, and no one else can detect the movement. You can forget about asking for help from the outside. After we destroy you, the next step will be to massacre the entire Bright Moon City. Blame the Immortal Asking Sect for meddling in our affairs. The Immortal Asking Sect killed one of our elders, so what if we slaughter an entire city of them?"

"You two dare to boast about destroying Brightmoon City? You're delusional! You're courting death!"

The city lord of Tantai City was furious. He unleashed the aura of the fifth level of the seventh realm, and his vast spiritual power transformed into countless fist shadows that slammed towards the two members of the Kui Sect.

"Hmph, Lord Tantai's strength is indeed extraordinary, but you alone cannot stop us."

"Go, kill them all."

The man in black robes pointed to the other powerful members of the Tantai family and ordered the corpse puppets to act.

Upon receiving the order, the Seven Realms Corpse Puppet charged toward the nearest person with lightning speed, unleashing a punch filled with destructive power.

The man looked utterly terrified, thinking: My life is over!

At the critical moment, a figure stepped in front of the other party and caught the violent fist with his palm.

Everyone was taken aback by this sight.

The opponent actually withstood the attack of a seventh-realm corpse puppet. Who is this person? Do we have such a powerful expert in our manor?

Lai Yang grabbed the corpse puppet's fist and then twisted it gently, breaking the puppet's wrist.

The corpse puppet felt no pain and swung its other hand to attack Lai Yang fiercely, then Lai Yang's other hand was also broken.

Then the feet, body, and head.

In the blink of an eye, a terrifying seventh-realm corpse puppet completely lost its ability to resist right in front of everyone.

This scene left everyone terrified and speechless.

Both the people from Mingyue Tantai Mansion and the two black-robed men from Kui Sect were stunned.

"Holy crap, did I not check the almanac before I left home today? How did I run into such a nasty person?"

"What are you standing there for? Run, you idiot!"

"Hold him!"

The two gave orders to the other corpse puppet, and then ran away as fast as they could.

"Since we're here, let's make the best of it," Lai Yang said calmly.

The next moment, Lai Yang unleashed a terrifying sword intent, forcefully suppressing the two black-robed men.

The man in black robes looked terrified. Who was this person? How could he possess such terrifying strength?

How could there possibly be an invincible, loose immortal-level expert within Bright Moon City?

Lai Yang slowly walked up to the two men in black robes. The corpse puppet they controlled had been impaled by a spirit sword and was unable to move at all.

"You wanted to scheme against the Immortal Inquiry Sect? That won't do. I can't just ignore you now that I've run into you. You're really unlucky," Lai Yang said in a clear voice. The two men in black robes looked up at Lai Yang with difficulty and begged for mercy: "Senior, spare our lives! We dare not do it again! Please let us go, senior. We are willing to tell you an important message!"

"No need for all that trouble. I don't trust you. Wouldn't it be better if I saw it myself?"

Lai Yang shook his head and immediately released his vast and powerful divine soul force to impact the other party's sea of ​​consciousness, searching for relevant memories of this operation in the other party's mind.

"Ahhhh!!!"

The two men in black robes, suffering the torment of the soul search, were in agony and could not help but let out heart-wrenching screams.

The people from Mingyue Tantai Mansion watched from the sidelines, not daring to step forward and interfere.

Even Tantai Jun, the city lord of Mingyue City, couldn't see through this person's strength. He suppressed two seventh-realm experts without even making a move. If he wanted to kill him, it probably wouldn't take more than three moves.

A cold sweat appeared on Tantai Jun's face. When did such an invincible rogue immortal appear in Mingyue City? He had no idea before.

Judging from this man's words, he seems to have a significant relationship with the Wenxian Sect. Why is he in Mingyue City?

A short while later, Lai Yang withdrew his divine soul power; he already knew the information he wanted to know.

I never imagined that this matter was related to him.

It was said that Lan Qingxian had entered the Path to Immortality and had not come out, and that Lai Yang, as a powerful figure who defeated the master of the Immortal Sect with a single sword strike, had also had a conflict with the Wenxian Sect and left the Wenxian Sect, which greatly reduced the strength of the Wenxian Sect.

Kui Zong then wanted to take the opportunity to retaliate against Wen Xian Zong.

The reason is very simple: the Wenxian Sect interfered in their affairs with the Fusheng Dynasty and even killed one of their core elders.

As a notorious and fearsome evil cultivation force on the Immortal Quest Continent, the Kui Sect had never suffered such a loss before.

Therefore, they plotted against the Wenxian Sect and sent several powerful individuals to weaken its strength.

Then they also sent people to secretly incite other immortal sects that were dissatisfied with the Wenxian Sect to work together against the Wenxian Sect.

Lai Yang was also speechless. He had only left the Wenxian Sect a few years ago, so why was he in trouble again?

However, with Chu Xiao and the others around, they might encounter some trouble at most, but nothing too serious is likely to happen.

Furthermore, the Immortal Sect's foundation extends far beyond just Lan Qingxian.

The Wenxian Sect is a powerful immortal sect with thousands of years of history, and with the Wenxian Mirror for good fortune and protection, it is not easily destroyed.

Upon seeing this, Tantai Jun immediately stepped forward, a respectful expression on his face, and said, "I am Tantai Jun, the city lord of Mingyue City. Thank you for your help, senior."

"You're welcome," Lai Yang waved his hand.

"Senior's assistance has resolved the crisis in Bright Moon City. As the city lord of Bright Moon City, I should naturally express my gratitude. I hope that you can stay at my residence for the time being so that I can do my best to be a good host," Tantai Jun said subconsciously.

Now is the perfect time to befriend and build a closer relationship with such a powerful expert, and we must not waste this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"Instead of that, I hope you can inform the Wenxian Sect that the evil cultivators of the Kui Sect are planning to plot against the Wenxian Sect, so that they can take precautions."

"Of course, no problem. I will have someone send a message to the Immortal Inquiry Sect right away."

Tantai Jun agreed without hesitation.

Even if Lai Yang didn't say anything, he would still report the matter to the Wenxian Sect.

This matter concerns the Kui Sect, and the strength of their Bright Moon City alone is not enough to deal with them.

Lai Yang nodded and said calmly, "I'll leave the rest to you. I'm leaving."

Before Tantai Jun could speak, Lai Yang's figure suddenly disappeared from everyone's sight, leaving no trace of his presence.

"Lord of the City, are you alright?"

"No problem. Immediately inform the Wenxian Sect about this matter, and also send someone to investigate carefully to see if there are any other suspicious people in the city."

"Yes."

Tantai Jun looked at the two black-robed men from the Kui Sect and saw that their cultivation had been completely destroyed by the sword energy, leaving them as useless people without any spiritual power.

"Take these two away, kill them, and hang their heads on the city wall as a warning to the public."

"As ordered."

"No one is allowed to reveal a single word about that senior from earlier, understand?" Tantai Jun said in a deep voice, his expression cold as he surveyed the crowd.

"Understood." Everyone nodded repeatedly, not daring to disobey Tantai Jun's orders.

"Alright, go about your business."

Tantai Jun returned to his room and used telepathy to summon his secret guards.

"Lord City Lord, you summoned me?" The head of the secret guards appeared before Tantai Jun and asked respectfully.

"Go and find out where that senior is. If he has already left Brightmoon City, then forget it. If he is still in Brightmoon City, do not disturb him. Come back and tell me immediately."

"As ordered."

Meanwhile, Lai Yang returned to his place.

As soon as he returned to the courtyard, he saw Xiao Hei sitting in front of the door with a resentful look on his face.

Upon seeing Lai Yang return, Xiao Hei immediately ran up to him and barked in dissatisfaction.

"Hehe, Little Black, are you waiting for me to come home? What a good dog."

"Wang Wang Wang!"

(Where have you been gallivanting off to? I'm starving! Hurry up and cook some food.)
Lai Yang squatted down, gave the dog a good rub on the head, and then went to cook for the dog with satisfaction.

Soon, the envoy from Mingyue City arrived at Wenxian Sect and told everyone in Wenxian Sect that the evil cultivators of Kui Sect had attacked the Mingyue Tantai Mansion.

"I have come on the orders of the city lord to inform you that the Kui Sect attacked my Mingyue Tantai Mansion yesterday with the intention of assassinating the city lord and massacring Mingyue City. They have now been killed by the strongmen of Mingyue City. In addition, it is said that they also intend to take action against the Wenxian Sect."

The people from the Wenxian Sect were taken aback upon hearing this.

"The evil cultivators of the Kui Sect launched a sneak attack on Bright Moon City, wanting to learn from the City Lord's Mansion? They really have audacity, completely disregarding my Wenxian Sect."

"Don't think that just because the sect leader has entered the path to immortality, there's no one in our Asking Immortals Sect who can deal with them. They're underestimating the strength of our Asking Immortals Sect."

"The actions of the Kui Sect are a direct challenge to the prestige of our Wenxian Sect. How can we sit idly by and wait for our doom?"

The elders of the Wenxian Sect discussed among themselves, their faces filled with righteous indignation.

"What the elders say makes sense. Although our master went to seek the opportunity to become an immortal, the Wenxian Sect is not one that anyone can provoke."

"The Kui Sect's plot to seize the foundation of my Wenxian Sect is an act against all reason and justice."

Chu Xiao spoke up.

"Why not use the Immortal Inquiry Mirror to deduce the location of the people from the Kui Sect? When we make our move, we will surely let them taste the power of the Immortal Inquiry Sect."

An elder from the Wenxian Sect blurted out.

“That’s right. It’s not in our nature to be passive and take a beating. A bunch of rats from the gutter who dare to defy the might of my Immortal Asking Sect are simply courting death.”

The elders all chimed in with their agreement.

Seeing this, Chu Xiao hesitated for a moment, then nodded firmly and said:

"Alright, since all the elders have this idea, I will go and borrow the Immortal Mirror."
