As he spoke, he looked at the cultivators who supported him and said, "Those who are willing to leave, come with me. I want to see who dares to stop me!"

Having said that, Lu Yang turned around gracefully and slowly walked out of the main hall.

Those cultivators who had previously spoken out in support of him also followed suit.

He left without saying a word...

Until the very end, the Grand Elder did not make a move, but merely stared coldly at the backs of Lu Yang and his group.

After Lu Yang and his group had completely disappeared from sight.

The Second Elder looked at the First Elder with a puzzled expression and asked, "First Elder, are we just going to let him leave like this?"

He didn't understand why the Grand Elder would just let Lu Yang leave like that.

He took away a small portion of the cultivators from the Heavenly Dao Alliance.

Moreover, they were all among the bravest and most fearless.

The strength of the Heavenly Alliance has been reduced by half.

The Grand Elder's eyes flickered with uncertainty as he replied, "What kind of great threat can a half-crippled Lu Yang, along with a group of Nascent Soul and Golden Core cultivators missing limbs, possibly pose?"

"Good advice is useless to those damned fools. Since they're willing to die, I'll grant their wish!"

...

On the other side, Lu Yang and his group walked out of the main hall.

The journey was smooth and unimpeded. Finally, the group boarded a Sky-Reaching Boat and left the territory of Ciyi City.

Lu Yang stood at the bow of the Tongtian Boat.

Lin Bo and Wei Jia stood behind him.

"You two are great!"

Lu Yang looked at the two of them with a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

He was very pleased with their performance in the main hall.

A hint of pride flashed across their faces as they were praised by a Nascent Soul cultivator.

He quickly cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your praise, Third Elder..."

"Don't call me Third Elder anymore!" Lu Yang shook his head, sighed, and said, "From now on, we are no longer members of the Heavenly Dao Alliance!"
