I get stronger every day I live.

Chapter 165 Demon-Suppressing Mountain

All the powerful demons were killed by the sword energy released by Lai Yang. The disciples of the Cold Moon Divine Sect breathed a sigh of relief and gathered in the direction where the two were.

"Elder Tang You, who is this?" A disciple of the Cold Moon Divine Sect asked with a puzzled look as he saw Lai Yang standing next to Tang You.

"This is Senior Lai Yang. We met by chance, and the Demon General Nie Yu was also killed by Senior Lai Yang," Tang You explained simply.

Upon hearing this, the members of the Cold Moon Divine Sect were shocked. It turned out that the Demon General Nie Yu was not killed by Elder Tang You, but by this senior.

"Alright, clean up the demon corpses immediately, and our mission will be complete." Tang You waved his hand and gave the order.

"Yes, elder."

The disciples of the Cold Moon Divine Sect did not hesitate and quickly went to clean up the battlefield.

Soon, all the valuable items on the demons were collected by the members of the Cold Moon Divine Sect and handed over to Tang You.

Tang You took the storage bag and handed it to Lai Yang: "These demons were killed by you, so these spoils of war belong to you."

Lai Yang glanced at the people from the Cold Moon Divine Sect, shook his head slightly, and said generously, "It's just a small favor for me. These things are useless to me, so you can take them."

"How can this be? Senior's help is already a great favor. How can our Cold Moon Divine Sect take advantage of you?" Tang You said earnestly in a deep voice.

"In that case, I will take a portion."

Without hesitation, Lai Yang reached out and put some of the spoils into his storage space, then returned the remaining two-thirds to Tang You.

Seeing this, a look of gratitude appeared in Tang You's eyes, and he immediately redistributed the spoils to the members of the Cold Moon Divine Sect.

The disciples all showed their gratitude and expressed their thanks.

They thought they wouldn't get anything out of this.

The core of the demon race is an extremely rare and valuable material for refining weapons. Taking it back can earn a lot of sect contributions.

“Senior, would you be willing to visit my Cold Moon Divine Sect? My Cold Moon Divine Sect will certainly repay your kindness.”

After finishing everything, Tang You turned to look at Lai Yang and invited him.

Lai Yang had previously said that he was just a rogue cultivator. Tang You thought that if they could keep such a powerful figure in the Cold Moon Divine Sect, it would be a great thing for the sect.

"I appreciate your kindness, but I still have some things to do. I will definitely visit the Cold Moon Divine Sect if I have the opportunity in the future. Let's take our leave now."

Lai Yang shook his head slightly. Helping people solve some problems is enough; there's no need to go to the Cold Moon Divine Sect.

He just wants to leisurely travel around the continent, comprehend the great principles of heaven and earth, and slowly accumulate power. He doesn't really want to get involved with these immortal sects.

After all, getting involved with the Immortal Sect is too easy to get caught up in all sorts of troublesome things.

For Lai Yang now, even killing a Tribulation Transcending Realm expert wouldn't guarantee a 100% increase in attribute points, so there's no need for him to get involved in the mess of the Upper Immortal Sect anymore.

Upon hearing this, Tang You showed a hint of regret on her face, but she did not insist any further.

It would be bad if we offended the other person.

"In that case, the Cold Moon Divine Sect awaits your presence at any time, senior. We shall take our leave now."

Tang You nodded, said politely, and then left the place with the disciples of the Cold Moon Divine Sect.

Lai Yang returned to the wooden house he had been in before, and his figure disappeared into the void in one step, returning to the original spot in an instant.

Sensing Lai Yang's presence, Xiao Hei got up and ran to Lai Yang's side: "Master, you're back. Are you alright?"

"Well, it's nothing. We just dealt with some demons."

"Demons?" A look of shock flashed across Xiao Hei's eyes, and he couldn't help but ask, "How come demons are here?"

"You also know the demons?" Lai Yang looked down at Xiao Hei and asked casually.

Xiao Hei hesitated for a moment, feeling a little nervous: "Of course, who doesn't know that the demon race is ferocious and tyrannical? Thousands of years ago, the demon king was sealed away, and after that, almost the entire demon race was driven out of the Central Continent and exiled to barren lands. They have never given up on the Central Continent and have always wanted to make a comeback. In recent years, a genius with the appearance of a king has emerged among the demon race. He has great ambitions and is secretly accumulating power, ready to make a move."

"The sealing of the Demon King is recorded in the ancient texts, but how do you know that a genius with the potential to become a king has emerged among the demons in recent years?" Lai Yang looked at Xiao Hei with a strange and inquisitive gaze.

Under Lai Yang's gaze, Xiao Hei's heart skipped a beat, and his tone was tinged with embarrassment: "I heard it from someone else."

Lai Yang nodded, not probing further.

From the moment Lai Yang first saw Xiao Hei, he knew that this thing held a great secret.

However, these days, everyone in the cultivation world has some secrets. People without secrets are often easily killed.

Lai Yang didn't care what secrets Xiao Hei had, as long as it didn't do anything foolish.

Although Lai Yang likes cute dogs, he doesn't mind serving disobedient dogs to the dinner table.

the other side.

Within the abyss of the demon realm stands a colossal demon castle, emanating an aura of extreme danger.

On a throne made of the bones of countless living beings sat a woman shrouded in demonic energy.

The woman had a devilish figure, her body covered in black armor that was quite revealing, her face was bewitching, and her long, shapely legs were deadly alluring.

The woman was an absolute beauty, a veritable femme fatale.

Even so, the demons on both sides dared not look up for more than a few moments, knowing full well how terrifying the woman before them was.

She is none other than Moro, the current queen of the demons!

Soon, a demon knelt before Moro, bowing deeply, and said respectfully, "My lord, the remaining demon general has fallen."

"Oh? Who killed Nieyu?" Moro looked down at the other party with indifferent eyes and said coldly.

The demon man looked nervous and fearful. He hurriedly explained, "Following the Lord's orders, our people infiltrated the Central Continent. They were discovered by cultivators from the Cold Moon Divine Sect and fought with them. Among those people from the Cold Moon Divine Sect was a woman named Tang You, a powerful expert who had comprehended the sword intent. We suspect that Nie Yu died at her hands."

"Hmph, a dignified demon general of the demon race actually died at the hands of others. What a useless piece of trash." Moro said unhappily.

The demon who reported this immediately trembled, a look of fear appearing on his face.

Moro sighed softly, then said, "Very well, I shouldn't have had too high expectations for him. The position of Demon General is vacant, and I will have someone fill it later. How is the matter I asked you to investigate? Have you found any clues?"

"We have found the place where the King was suppressed and sealed. As for His Highness, we have not yet found any trace of him. Perhaps His Highness has already perished."

"Hehe, you underestimate my elder brother. He is not so easy to kill. I laid a trap but still failed to kill him. How can I be at ease without seeing his body with my own eyes? You may leave."

"Yes."

After the demon left, Moro rested her arm on the throne, lazily raised her slender hand, and a vibrant heart beat in her palm.

"Your heart is in my hands, you cannot escape, do not move."

"Even if you flee to the ends of the earth, I will find you. The demon race does not need two kings."

Cultivation knows no time. In the blink of an eye, several years have passed. Lai Yang looked up in the direction of Zhongzhou and suddenly felt a desire to check on the situation of Chu Xiao and the others.

He had been away from the Wenxian Sect for more than ten years, and he didn't know how the Wenxian Sect had changed under Chu Xiao's rule.

"Xiao Hei, let's go back to Zhongzhou for a visit. I miss my disciples a bit," Lai Yang said softly.

Xiao Hei followed Lai Yang and nodded: "Wherever Master goes, I will go."

"You're so good with words. Let's go back to Zhongzhou and take a look."

Lai Yang did not hesitate; once he made up his mind, he would do it. He then took Xiao Hei back to the Wenxian Sect in Zhongzhou.

Not long after, a man and a dog appeared inside the Wenxian Sect.

Lai Yang observed the situation of the Wenxian Sect. More than ten years had passed, and overall it still looked almost unchanged.

Lai Yang completely concealed his aura and figure, casually strolled around the Wenxian Sect, and then headed to the immortal peak where Chu Xiao and the others were located.

As Lai Yang stepped onto the Immortal Peak, a powerful aura locked onto him, followed by a deep, aged voice: "Who dares to trespass into the Immortal Inquiry Sect?"

A short while later, an old man with white hair and beard and an ordinary appearance appeared. Who else could it be but Zhan Lao?

Upon seeing the person's appearance, Elder Zhan was slightly surprised: "It's you. Why are you back?"

"Elder Zhan, it's been a long time. I suddenly missed my disciples, so I thought I'd come back to check on them. Where are Chu Xiao and the others?"

Lai Yang smiled faintly, gave a simple explanation, and then asked.

Upon hearing this, Elder Zhan understood and immediately said, "They took the elders of the Wenxian Sect to suppress the seal. They are not in the Wenxian Sect now. You have come at the wrong time."

"Suppressing the seal?"

"Yes, it is said that the seal that seals the demons has loosened slightly, and there are traces of other demon activity nearby. Not only our Wenxian Sect, but also many powerful figures from various immortal sects have rushed there with their people."

Upon hearing this, a strange light flashed in Xiao Hei's eyes. Was the seal on the demon race loosening?
"That's really unfortunate." Lai Yang sighed helplessly.

"Master, since we don't have anything else to do, why don't we go take a look too?"

Xiao Hei, who was standing to the side, suddenly couldn't help but interject, his eyes sparkling with anticipation.

Zhan Lao's gaze fell on the big black dog at Lai Yang's feet. Then he was surprised to find that he could not see through the dog's true nature. He said with some surprise, "Hmm? Where did you get this dog? This dog's bloodline seems to be extraordinary."

"Oh, I picked him up by the roadside. I thought his talent was alright, so I kept him. It's nothing special." Lai Yang waved his hand.

"Don't underestimate it. Even I can't see through its bloodline. This demonic beast has unlimited potential. If you nurture it properly, it might become a powerful ally in the future," Elder Zhan said with a smile.

"You have good taste. If you can talk, then say more. I love to hear it." Little Black looked at Elder Zhan, raised its paw, and exuded an arrogant aura.

Lai Yang neither confirmed nor denied, but smiled.

He naturally understood that Xiao Hei's bloodline was extraordinary; otherwise, he wouldn't have taken it in.

However, Xiao Hei, who had never liked to talk much before, now took the initiative to suggest that he wanted to go and see the place where the demons were sealed.

Could it be that there's something the demon cares about in the place where the demon is sealed?
Or perhaps, it actually has some connection with the demon race.

"Elder Zhan, stop praising it. Its tail can reach the sky. Where is the place where the demons are sealed? I'll go and join in the fun since I have nothing else to do."

"If you're willing to go, that would be even better. The place where the demons are sealed is Zhenmo Mountain in Zhongzhou. I can tell you the exact location. However, the entrance to Zhenmo Mountain has been hidden by the powerful figures of various immortal sects using spatial arrays. If you go alone, you may not be able to find the entrance to Zhenmo Mountain."

“It’s alright. Just tell me where it is, and I’ll find a way to get into Zhenmo Mountain,” Lai Yang said calmly.

Spatial array?

Lai Yang was confident that wherever he wanted to go, there shouldn't be any formation on the Immortal Continent that could stop him.

He had read about Zhenmo Mountain in books, but he didn't know its exact location. He never imagined that it had been hidden by the combined efforts of the major immortal sects. No wonder.

Zhenmo Mountain, Zhenmo Mountain, you can tell what it's about just by hearing the name.

If someone could easily find Zhenmo Mountain and release the powerful demons sealed within, it would be a huge catastrophe for the Central Continent.

No wonder they were so cautious, but eventually the truth will come out.

"Alright, in that case, I will tell you the location of Zhenmo Mountain."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhan Lao released a wisp of spiritual energy that entered Lai Yang's mind.

"The demons have found the vicinity of Demon-Suppressing Mountain. They might be the ones who caused the seal to loosen. This trip may be dangerous, so please be careful," Elder Zhan warned.

Lai Yang nodded slightly: "Okay, I understand."

"I, the old man, still have to guard the Wenxian Sect, so I won't go with you. Jian Wuji has gone with Chu Xiao and the others. With him there, there shouldn't be any problems."

"Okay, I'll be going now. Goodbye."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lai Yang raised his hand and shattered the void, then picked up Xiao Hei and stepped into the space.

As Zhan Lao watched Lai Yang's figure disappear into the void, he was filled with countless emotions.

"It hasn't been long, and this kid's strength is already beyond my comprehension."

"Just standing in front of him made me feel immense pressure without my noticing."

"I don't know if he has successfully taken that step."

"No, that shouldn't be possible."

"If he has truly taken that step, how could he still remain in this realm? I must be overthinking things."

Old Zhan shook his head, his eyes filled with complex emotions, and murmured meaningfully.

Meanwhile, Lai Yang already knew the exact location of Zhenmo Mountain.

In less than half an hour, Lai Yang and Xiao Hei arrived above the entrance to Zhenmo Mountain.

Beneath them lay what appeared to be an ordinary mountain range, but in reality, it held a hidden secret.

Lai Yang released his powerful divine sense, and the place where the shadows of the two highest peaks met was the entrance to Zhenmo Mountain.

"This is it, let's go in."

The next moment, the surrounding scenery changed rapidly, and the man and dog successfully entered the real Demon-Suppressing Mountain.

However, the scene before Lai Yang after entering Zhenmo Mountain made him freeze in shock, and his expression darkened slightly.

"What's happening here?"
