I get stronger every day I live.

Chapter 201 The Netherworld Demon Realm, the Devouring Heaven Demon Sect

The people from Jianyang Mountain noticed the presence of the three.

When they saw their own peak master behaving so docilely in front of that strange man, they were all stunned and speechless.

What's going on? Is that person still the peak master of their Jianyang Mountain?

Everyone knows that the peak master of Jianyang Mountain hates men. Normally, let alone letting someone touch your head, even touching him could result in a beating.

To this day, many talented individuals have tried to pursue the Peak Master, but without exception, they have all been driven away by her. What's going on today? Has the iron tree finally blossomed?

A message quickly spread throughout the territory of the Wenxian Sect, shocking countless people.

Lai Yang and Li Xiaowen reminisced and enjoyed each other's company.

Someone inadvertently saw the three of them stay in a room for a long time without coming out.

When Li Xiaowen and Li Xiaonuan reappeared before everyone, their cultivation had broken through from the peak of the Tribulation Transcending Realm to the realm of immortals, and their lifespan had also exceeded ten thousand years. Their appearance and temperament had become even more beautiful and charming, making it impossible for people to look away.

Ten years later, Lai Yang was preparing to leave the Immortal Continent once again.

Over the course of ten years, Lai Yang did his best to accompany Li Xiaowen and Li Xiaonuan and meet their needs.

Li Xiaonuan handed over the affairs of the Wenxian Sect to the sect's elders, and the three of them traveled around, enjoying a happy life together.

However, what was in the Immortal Continent was ultimately just a wisp of Lai Yang's consciousness, and he had other things to do, so he couldn't stop there.

Lai Yang embraced Li Xiaowen and Li Xiaonuan's delicate bodies, his expression filled with reluctance, and slowly said, "Ten years have passed, it's time for me to go."

Upon hearing this, both women were startled, their beautiful eyes staring blankly at Lai Yang.

"Sir, where are you going? Could you take me with you?"

"Why leave? Wouldn't it be better to ask the Immortal Sect? Are you going back to the Immortal Realm, sir? Can you please not leave?"

Faced with the two women's tender yet uneasy gazes, Lai Yang sighed helplessly, hugged them tightly, and said in a low voice, "I can't take you with me for now. The Immortal Realm is too dangerous. I still have some things to take care of. Once I've resolved everything, I'll come back to find you. If you're willing to come with me then, I can take you to the Immortal Realm. Until then, I hope you can stay here safely."

Their eyes showed reluctance and sadness at Lai Yang's departure, but they also knew in their hearts that the master would not lie to them.

If the other party didn't care about them, they wouldn't have come back, even though it was only a short ten years.

Ten years may be a long time for ordinary people, but for them it is just a blink of an eye.

"How long will it take for you to return next time? Will my sister and I have to wait another thousand years?"

Hearing Li Xiaonuan's words, Lai Yang remained silent for a while before saying softly, "I'm sorry, this time it may take another thousand years. I can't be sure how long this journey will take. Even if you are planning to marry someone else, I won't blame you."

“Sir, what are you saying? Don’t look down on us. Now that I, Li Xiaowen, have found a Daoist partner, I will remain faithful to her until the end. Even if I die, I will never submit to another. No one can force me.” Li Xiaowen’s expression revealed a hint of anger as he spoke firmly in a deep voice.

“I think the same as my sister. If you say such things again, even I will get angry.” Li Xiaonuan pretended to be angry and bit Lai Yang.

Seeing this, Lai Yang apologized repeatedly in embarrassment, knowing that what he had said was unpleasant.

However, before returning, Lai Yang was indeed prepared for the fact that Li Xiaowen and Li Xiaonuan had become someone else's Daoist partners.

After all, more than two thousand years is enough time to change too many things.

Putting yourself in their shoes, even Lai Yang himself isn't sure if he'll change his mind, so how can he expect them to wait for him forever?

If they do become partners in another person's path, Laiyang will choose to bless them and then leave without any regrets.

What he didn't expect was that Xiao Nuan and Xiao Wen were so deeply in love with him that they actually waited for him until now.

In this materialistic world, Lai Yang felt like he was dreaming to encounter such Daoist partners one after another.

Of course, he didn't want to betray their sincerity.

After breaking through to the Immortal Realm, they will have at least several thousand years of lifespan left. Several thousand years should be enough time for Lai Yang to resolve all the troubles and take them to the Immortal Realm.

It wasn't that Lai Yang didn't want to help them break through to a higher realm, but rather that once they broke through to a higher realm, this dimension would likely strongly reject them.

It's only possible to suppress the aura at the mortal immortal realm; once you reach a higher level, you can't suppress it anymore.

"I really have to go now. Take good care of yourselves and wait patiently for me to come back."

Before the two women could speak, Lai Yang's figure vanished with the wind, turning into bubbles and disappearing without a trace.

Lai Yang's consciousness returned to his original body in the outside world of the Immortal Quest Continent.

Lai Yang turned and left, but couldn't help looking back at the Immortal Continent one last time before resolutely departing.

After Lai Yang left, Li Xiaonuan returned to her position as the sect leader of the Wenxian Sect.

Li Xiaowen still often appeared on the rooftop, one hand supporting himself behind him, the other resting on his knee, looking up at the sky, continuing to wait for someone's return.

However, she was no longer the depraved drunkard she once was. Dressed in a flowing red dress, she exuded a cool and aloof aura, like a fairy stepping out of a painting.

"Sir, come back soon, I'll be waiting for you."

……

Meanwhile, Lai Yang returned to the Immortal Realm and headed to the Netherworld Demon Realm based on the map in his memory.

Not long after, Lai Yang, who had completely concealed his aura and realm, descended upon the Netherworld Demon Realm. He planned to find someone to inquire about the location of the Devouring Heaven Demon Sect.

Although the Witch Goddess said that Mo Ruyan's current condition was not bad, she was still a little worried without seeing him in person.

The Netherworld is dangerous. Although he is now a Daoist Immortal Emperor, he must keep a low profile when he enters the territory of the Netherworld Demon Clan.

The Netherworld is not without powerful beings; he's only here to find someone, not to cause trouble.

Suddenly, Lai Yang inadvertently saw a group of demons escorting a group of prisoners on their way. Among the prisoners were humans, demons, and other races.

Their faces were ashen, as if filled with deep despair and fear.

Their homes were destroyed by the demons before them; almost all the rebels were killed, and the rest were taken prisoner.

What we see before us is only a small group of prisoners.

Lai Yang didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but when he saw that the demons were wearing the clothes of the Devouring Demon Sect, he immediately stopped in his tracks.

He was just thinking about how to sneak into the Devouring Demon Sect to see Mo Ruyan when this was exactly what he needed.
Lai Yang quietly blended into the ranks of the prisoners and followed the others back to the Devouring Demon Sect.

Neither the demons nor the prisoners noticed that someone had appeared beside them at some point.

Before long, the group successfully arrived at the Devouring Heaven Demon Sect. The moment they entered the Devouring Heaven Demon Sect's barrier, Lai Yang keenly sensed the presence of three Immortal Emperors or higher within the sect.

One is at the late stage of the Immortal Emperor realm, and two are at the middle stage of the Immortal Emperor realm.

Hmm... It's not a big problem.

After getting a better understanding of the Devouring Demon Sect's strength, Lai Yang felt much more at ease.

The Devouring Demon Sect poses no threat to him. He can summon the true form of Pangu by using the Twelve Capital Gods and Demons Formation and cleave the Devouring Demon Sect in two with a single axe.

To avoid alerting the enemy, Lai Yang refrained from openly scanning the Devouring Demon Sect with his divine sense.

If he chooses to do that, he will definitely be discovered by the Immortal Emperor realm experts of the Devouring Heaven Demon Sect, and then be besieged by countless demons.

Lai Yang wasn't worried, but he was unsure of Mo Ruyan's attitude towards the Devouring Demon Sect. He decided to find her first.

Before long, all the prisoners who had been brought back were imprisoned in a filthy dungeon.

"Stay put and don't try to escape, or you know what will happen."

The demon in charge of escorting them turned and left. With everyone's cultivation sealed, he wasn't worried that they would be able to escape.

Apart from Lai Yang, everyone else wore expressions of fear and numbness towards their unknown fate.

However, to everyone's surprise, before the demon from the Devouring Heaven Demon Sect could leave the dungeon, a ghostly figure appeared behind him.

A terrifying aura instantly imprisoned him, and then Lai Yang used the Soul Searching Technique to search for the information he wanted to know.

Before long, Lai Yang learned the information he wanted to know and took care of the demon in front of him.

Upon seeing this, the prisoners held in the dungeon stared in astonishment.

Lai Yang glanced back at them, then snapped his fingers to release their sealed cultivation and destroy the dungeon door made of special materials.

"I have other things to do, so I'll be leaving now. Whether you survive or not depends on your own abilities."

After saying that, Lai Yang ignored them and disappeared into the void, heading towards where Mo Ruyan was.

In the blink of an eye, Lai Yang arrived at Mo Ruyan's Demon Prince Peak based on the demon's memories.

This is where Mo Ruyan rests and cultivates.

According to the memories shared by that demon, no other demons usually dare to easily go up Demon Prince Peak. Lai Yang could have stayed here and waited until Mo Ruyan returned.

The Demon Prince Peak was filled with an incredibly dense demonic energy. Lai Yang realized that something was wrong with this demonic energy; it seemed that someone had set up a special method within it.

Absorbing too much demonic energy will subtly erode a person's soul, gradually causing them to lose their self-awareness.

Lai Yang's eyes turned slightly cold. This was the Demon Prince Peak of the Devouring Heaven Demon Sect. Who would dare to cause trouble on Demon Prince Peak? What was their purpose?
Who did Ruyan offend in the Devouring Demon Sect that would use such insidious methods against her?

Suddenly, a group of prisoners from the Devouring Heaven Demon Sect rushed out, intending to create chaos and escape.

In their desperate struggle for freedom and survival, they tried to escape, but were soon suppressed by the powerful Devouring Demon Sect, unable to even stir up the slightest disturbance in this colossal sect.

Lai Yang guarded the Demon Prince Peak for nearly half a month, and finally a familiar aura landed on the Demon Prince Peak.

Mo Ruyan returned to Demon Peak with a cold expression. She had wanted to relax a little, but she didn't expect to sense the presence of other people as soon as she returned.

"Who?!" Mo Ruyan shouted warily.

"It's me." Lai Yang stepped out from the shadows without hesitation.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Mo Ruyan was greatly surprised, her almond-shaped eyes filled with doubt and astonishment.

"Lai Yang? You, how did you end up here?"

After saying that, Mo Ruyan seemed to remember something and subconsciously used her abilities to isolate the outside world from the detection of Demon Prince Peak.

“Ruyan, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time. Come with me, and I’ll take you away from the Netherworld.” Lai Yang didn’t waste any words and reached out his hand to say this.

Mo Ruyan was slightly taken aback, then slowly shook her head: "I also want to go with you, but I can't leave the Devouring Demon Sect right now. You should leave here quickly."

"Why?" Lai Yang asked, puzzled.

“The Demon Emperor has planted a mark on my body. No matter where I escape to, he will catch me and bring me back. He wants to take away my Devouring Divine Body. I can’t let you get involved. You should leave quickly. If the Devouring Demon Sect finds you, you won’t be able to leave.”

Mo Ruyan realized that she couldn't see through Lai Yang's cultivation level. However, she felt that no matter how high Lai Yang's cultivation level was, he couldn't possibly be a match for a late-stage Demon Emperor. She immediately said with a slightly nervous expression.

"Don't worry, trust me, I'll get you out of here," Lai Yang said confidently.

"That's a powerful Immortal Emperor. Don't worry, I'm not in danger for now. I'll find a way to deal with him. I'll come find you after I've dealt with this. If you have a way to leave, run away quickly." Mo Ruyan sighed helplessly, her face filled with deep apprehension.

Seeing this, Lai Yang shook his head helplessly, and then released a trace of imperial aura.

In an instant, Mo Ruyan looked astonished, clenched her fists, and stared at Lai Yang in disbelief: "Lai Yang, you've broken through to the Immortal Emperor realm?"

"No, don't worry, I'll take care of everything. I'll get you out of here."

This time, Lai Yang didn't let Mo Ruyan refuse him again, and stepped forward to hold her hand.

Suddenly, an aura carrying terrifying demonic power descended upon Demon Prince Peak, and a powerful figure instantly appeared in the sky above Demon Prince Peak.

It was the Demon Emperor of the Devouring Heaven Demon Sect. He had detected Lai Yang's slightest aura.

"Who dares to trespass on my Devouring Demon Sect? Hand over the Demon Child, and I may grant you a whole corpse."

The Demon Emperor's icy voice rang in their ears like muffled thunder.

"Wait here for me for a while."

"He is in the late stage of the Demon Emperor realm."

"It's alright, watch me kill him."

Lai Yang released Mo Ruyan's soft hand, looked up at the ferocious figure in the sky with overwhelming demonic energy, and a murderous intent appeared in his eyes.

Upon hearing Mo Ruyan's words, Lai Yang had almost guessed who had orchestrated the scheme on Demon Peak.

At first, he was worried that Mo Ruyan might have some feelings for the Devouring Demon Sect, but now it seems that he doesn't need to worry about it anymore.

The other party wanted to harm his Daoist partner, they deserve to die!
