Infiltrating the righteous path? Just another place to be a sycophant.

Ao Lei looked up and found that the pillar of light was beginning to dim.

Did we miss our chance?

Ao Lei turned his head to look around, only to find a mess beside him, but no one in sight.

How is this going?

Just as she was wondering, a series of loud bangs rang out, startling her.

Along with it came a dazzling light.

So she looked up at the sky and saw that it was fireworks.

"Holy crap, who the hell set off firecrackers? Don't they let people get any sleep?" Lu An suddenly jumped out of the bushes and cursed.

"Elder Lu, these are alarm fireworks!"

"Alarm fireworks? What are they for?"

"This means that enemies are attacking! And not just in one place!"

Master Cang'an also darted out from the nearby bushes, with a few green leaves still hanging in his hair.

Lu An, don't you feel anything? You're at the Tribulation Transcending stage, how could you not feel anything?

"Elder Lu, the enemy is coming! Please go and provide support!"

"Support me?"

"Uh, is there a problem? Isn't this exactly how Miss Shi arranged it?"

Master Cang'an removed the green leaf from his head and asked, somewhat bewildered.

Did I make a mistake?

If I remember correctly, Miss Shi said that it was Elder Lu who made this arrangement for her!

"No, no, no, Master Cang'an, you should be the one going to provide support!"

Why do you say that?

"I just made such a big commotion here that some people may already know I'm here."

"You know my reputation. Although I wouldn't say that everyone in the righteous path knows me, I'm hated by everyone in the demonic path. They wish they could kill me as soon as they hear my name."

"Uh, what does this have to do with me going to provide support?"

"Master Cang'an, you don't understand, do you? I've already been exposed!"

"Huh? What did we reveal?"

Master Cang'an looked at the clothes on Lu An's body and pondered for a while.

He didn't seem to have revealed anything.

"The invaders are either demons or monsters. They have fires on three sides, but we don't. Have you noticed?"

"Now that you mention it, it really is true..."

Master Cang'an listened in a daze, then stroked his chin and began to ponder.

"Thieves steal treasure, not attack a house, so why would they attack from three sides simultaneously? Therefore, I dare to conclude that this is very likely a diversionary tactic by the enemy!"

"A diversionary tactic?!"

"That's right. I'm the only Tribulation Transcending stage expert on this mission. They must know I'm here and want to use fireworks to lure me away so they can break through from here!"

Chapter 153 It's my turn to show off.

Upon hearing Lu An's words, Master Cang An instantly understood.

"Elder Lu's words are insightful and reasonable!"

That makes a lot of sense!

"So, Master Cang'an, you are the one who should go to provide support the most. Besides, we don't know where the others have gone. Do you think you can hold the line if you are here?"

Cang An was struck dumb upon hearing this.

That makes more and more sense!

Yes, even if he stays here, can he hold on?

If he goes to deliver the message, then there might still be a way!

If he can't hold this place by himself, where will he put his old face?

"If there are enemies you can't handle, just set off fireworks to summon me, and I'll come running!"

Lu An revealed a profound and inscrutable expression and slowly offered his plan.

"As expected of Elder Lu, his thoughts are indeed thorough!"

"It's just a superficial reasoning, nothing special, nothing special!"

"Elder Lu, please stay here and wait. I'll go provide support now!"

Master Cang'an bowed to Lu An and then vanished.

The historian was bound by a magic array, and unless the array's bindings failed, he could not take to the air. Therefore, he could only use his lightness skill to leave quickly.

Lu An only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Master Cang An had truly left.

Fortunately, he doesn't need to go to provide assistance.

Where could be safer than here? If we send him to provide support, what if he encounters the enemy?

The two white-haired guards standing nearby couldn't help but admire him secretly.

As expected of Elder Lu, what he said makes perfect sense!

Not only is his cultivation exceptionally high, but he is also incredibly thoughtful!

No wonder he was able to become an elder of the number one righteous sect!

Lu An suddenly felt tired, so he stretched his muscles and thought of doing some head-turning exercises.

However, Lu An only felt a gust of wind pass by, and then the stone behind him suddenly shattered.

Lu An suddenly turned around and saw only a short sword stuck in the stone fragments.

Someone attacked?

"As expected of Lu An, he truly lives up to his reputation. Not only could he see through our plan, but he could also dodge our hidden weapons without batting an eye!"

"I originally intended to transfer you away from here, but I didn't expect you to see through our plan. As expected of Elder Lu, you are truly a master strategist!"

A cold voice rang out, and Lu An turned around abruptly, only to see several men in black standing there, their bodies surging with overwhelming demonic energy.

Although its demonic energy was not as strong as that of the core members of the Heavenly Demon Sect, its aura was still quite terrifying.

The leader casually stretched out his hand, and the short sword was summoned back into their hands.

The Azure Sword trembled slightly in its scabbard, as if sensing something, and suddenly became restless.

"Elder Lu, could you please make way? I'm just retrieving something from the Shi family; I absolutely will not harm anyone!"

"Of course, I don't want to clash with you either. You were once a member of the demonic path, so please let me go, considering we were once on the same path."

Lu An looked at the person in front of him without saying a word.

He stood calmly in front of the man, without taking a single step back.

My legs feel a little weak.

At the same time, his eyes were darting around everywhere.

Is no one coming to help? The demonic energy is surging out so obviously, doesn't anyone want to come and rack up kills?

And wow, people actually came? Did my mouth get blessed?

"Oh? Who are you?" Lu An asked, trying to appear calm.

"It seems that Fellow Daoist Lu does not recognize me; you should say Elder Lu."

"But we know you very well!"

"You dared to assassinate that old man Li Podao, you really are a man!"

The man in black couldn't make out his face, but his praise made Lu An feel a little flattered.

Even though it was all an act, it sounded really good.

It's always the same; the other person always announces his name first.

"Let's put aside my own affairs for now. You want me to move aside? Are you kidding me?"

"And who exactly are you? You're spouting so much nonsense, yet you won't even reveal your name?"

"Moreover, I, Lu An, have been entrusted with this task, and I must relieve your worries. If you don't want to die, then leave quickly, otherwise, I will draw my sword, and I don't know if you will still be alive!"

You can come in, but don't go this way. Please respect my duties as a security guard!

That so-called "luring the tiger away from the mountain" plan was just something he came up with on the spur of the moment to avoid battle; how did it actually come true?

This is bad! This is really bad!

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Han Wuye, and I am the vice leader of the Sun Moon Demonic Sect."

Lu An frowned slightly, but remained silent.

Why is it another demonic cult? This Sun Moon Demonic Cult sounds familiar.

And isn't this name a bit too childish?

Lu An observed Ye Wuhan, secretly alarmed.

Damn it, could it be a Tribulation Transcending expert?

"The Sun Moon Demonic Cult? That's the demonic cult formed by those abandoned by the demonic path?"

"It's actually the Sun Moon Demonic Sect. I thought it was just a rumor, but I didn't expect it to actually exist."

The two white-haired guards were extremely surprised, seemingly wondering how they had encountered this demonic sect.

Great, a commentator has arrived.

"So it's the Sun Moon Demonic Sect. You've come here because you've taken a liking to the Shi family's possessions?"

"Of course, otherwise why would we have come?"

"What is this thing that belongs to the Shi family, that it has attracted even your Sun Moon Demonic Sect?"

"We cannot reveal this detail, but if Fellow Daoist Lu is willing to join our Sun Moon Demonic Sect, we will speak freely."

Han Wuye said generously.

Lu An remained silent for a while, pondering what to do.

It doesn't matter what the Sun Moon Demonic Sect is doing here, nor does it matter what's inside the Shi family. He only cares about one thing: don't follow his path.

As a security guard, my job is to keep an eye on my gate!

"I don't care what's in there. I just want to say one thing: get out of here right now, or I won't hold back!"

"Fellow Daoist Lu, Elder Lu, I know you are very strong, but you should know that I am not alone here, and we have all come prepared!"

Everyone took out their magical weapons, including sticks, whips, broadswords, and even spiked clubs.

It doesn't look like a demonic cult; it looks more like a criminal gang.

It actually looks quite dangerous.

"I've heard that apart from Li Podao, no one has ever seen Elder Lu make a move. So today I'd like to ask him for some pointers!"

Han Wuye was the first to draw his short sword and assume a fighting stance.

…………

For a long time, neither side made a move.

Why isn't Elder Lu making a move?

"I don't have the habit of making the first move."

Lu An, holding a sword in one hand and crossing his arms over his chest, said...
