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

This guy is a cross-dresser.

That's incredible!

“I’ve lived with my mother all my life, and she loves to dress me up as a little girl, so…”

Everyone understood everything even more now.

It turns out it was a childhood trauma.

"Then my mother left the Heavenly Demon Sect and went to another place, and I lived with my father, Elder Anxu."

"But you seem perfectly normal."

“My father wouldn’t allow me to wear these clothes. He wanted me to be a man, so… so I became a normal man again, but… but…!”

"Wearing these clothes has become a part of my life! I can't live without them! Without them, I feel like I'm crawling with bugs, and I feel uncomfortable all over!"

"I can't wait to get my hands on it! I'm so incredibly itchy!"

"Only in this way can I remember my mother and the times I spent with her!"

Anshi raised his head, his eyes filled with tears.

Everyone was silent.

I don't know why, but it sounds so touching.

Listening to this, it seems as if they are the ones who did something wrong.

"Ahem, we won't hold these personal hobbies against you."

"We sympathize with you, but due to our political stance, we cannot offer you support; we can only offer our sympathy."

"I know, I know, if you catch me, I'm finished."

An Shi's face was filled with despair.

Having already exposed his identity, what chance does he have of surviving?

However, the more he talked, the less he wanted to live.

"If you continue to confess, there might still be a glimmer of hope."

"What do you mean?"

"Let's see how much truth you have. Consider it a pledge of allegiance to my Righteous Alliance."

"Moreover, our Righteous Path Alliance desperately needs someone who will obey us..."

"The demonic path infiltrates, turning the tables and infiltrating them."

Lu An was a little unsure of what to say.

You think you can turn an undercover agent to your side? That's impossible.

Unless he's out of his mind.

"Are you trying to recruit me?"

"What you're doing is abandoning evil and embracing good, turning away from darkness and returning to light."

That's the routine.

An Shi said in a low voice, "I think you are even more terrifying than the people of the Heavenly Demon Sect..."

Xu Luo pricked up her ears: "What did you say?"

"Ah, I mean, you are much better than the people of the Heavenly Demon Sect, and you are willing to give me a chance."

"Yes, tell the truth, or we'll have to torture you."

"I will tell the truth! I will tell the truth! Whatever you want to ask, I will tell you everything I know! I will tell you everything I know!"

Anshi hurriedly said, fearing that he had really been subjected to torture.

A person nearby questioned, "Sir, something's not right."

Xu Luo asked, "What's wrong?"

The man asked doubtfully, "You said he hadn't been tortured, so why would he tell the truth?"

Xu Luo looked at his subordinate with a puzzled expression and asked, "What do you mean by this?"

"My lord, these demonic cultivators are very cunning. I've seen people like him who come up and tell the truth right away before!"

"It might be a trap! I know this kind of person. To avoid suffering as much as possible, he deliberately takes a couple of hits first, then admits to being a spy for the demonic path, and then gives us false information!"

The subordinate touched the branding iron in his hand and whispered something in Xu Luo's ear.

"No, sir, don't listen to his nonsense! I sincerely want to pledge allegiance to the Righteous Alliance! Really! Really!"

However, Xu Luo merely glanced at him, then nodded and said, "That makes sense, that makes sense!"

Lu An, however, was terrified upon hearing this.

You guys, you actually have a point!

Aren't you guys really not devils?

"So, sir, we must be careful. If he gives us false information, we might lose manpower for nothing!"

"Then what do you suggest we do? How can we tell if what he said is true or false?"

"It's very simple, we just need to follow the procedure!"

As he spoke, the man pulled out a whip from somewhere and lashed it on the ground, making a loud cracking sound.

"If we give him a good beating, he won't dare to lie. We have to go through the proper procedures; we can't let him take advantage of us!"

"But... wouldn't that..."

"Lord Xu, it's alright, don't worry! These demonic people are so cunning, they need to be disciplined with a good beating."

"Look how quickly he confessed. He gave in after only two scalds. There must be something fishy going on. Which of those demonic cultivators didn't confess after being slapped all over their bodies?"

"That makes sense, let's get started."

"Then I'll go prepare a bucket of chili water; it'll be very useful later."

Anshi was so frightened that his face turned pale.

Why are these people from the Righteous Alliance like this?

Lu An was also surprised by them.

This is truly the devil!

"My lord, no, I've already confessed. It's unnecessary, really unnecessary! Please don't do this..."

“Fellow Daoist, I know you’ve confessed, but what he said makes a lot of sense to me. Let’s go through the proper procedures.”

"Lord Xu, I'm back. I've prepared two buckets of chili water."

“Alright, let’s begin.” Xu Luo nodded, then said to An Shi, “Fellow Daoist, endure this hardship as a test of your surrender.”

"No, no, no! I... I'll tell you everything, I would never lie! Never!"

"Sorry, the procedure still needs to be followed! Just bear with it, hahaha!"

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

"Lord Xu, are you truly not of the demonic path?"

"Fellow Daoist Lu, you may not know this, but the demonic path is cunning and treacherous. There's no need to use benevolence and morality against them; ruthlessness is the only way. What do you say?"

"It makes sense..."

Chapter 191 Before Returning to the Sect

"Junior Brother Lu, did those people give you any trouble?"

"Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother Hao. They didn't make things difficult for me."

Outside the Red Wedding Pavilion, Hao Jian embraced Luo Huayu and asked with concern.

"Junior Brother Lu, after taking a stroll around the Red Marriage Pavilion, did you find a woman you fancy?"

"Not yet."

Hao Jian boasted with a hint of pride, "Hahaha, Hua Yu, let me introduce you again. This is my junior brother Lu, he's incredibly strong!"

Luo Huayu blinked her big eyes: "Your junior brother... is his master also very powerful?"

"More powerful than my master. By the way, Elder Lu has already reached the ninth level of the Tribulation, right?"

"...Yeah, maybe so."

Lu An gave a perfunctory reply.

All he wants now is to return to his sect and find a legitimate way to improve his cultivation.

I can't keep pretending like this all the time.

"When the sect celebrates its grand opening, I'll show you around and introduce you to my sect!"

"And your damaged sword body, I'll have the people in the weapon-forging hall reforge it for you! They'll definitely succeed!"

Hao Jian patted his chest and made a guarantee for Luo Huayu.

Lu An glanced at Luo Huayu, then at Hao Jian.

I don't know if this guy is really stupid or pretending to be stupid. If we let those people from the Sword Forging Hall repair the Falling Flower Rain sword, wouldn't that be like pushing that young girl into a furnace?

The thought of a group of grown men wielding hammers and chisels, eyeing the remains of a sentient ancient immortal sword with predatory intent, sent a chill down Lu An's spine.

It's like a bunch of men doing pointless things to a woman.

It has the feel of the seven dwarfs and Snow White.

Does Hao Jian have such a twisted sense of humor?

Could it be that she has some kind of fetish?

However, Hao Jian's words made Lu An suddenly realize something.

What is a sect's grand celebration?

"Senior Brother Hao, what sect celebration? What were you talking about just now?"

"Oh? Junior Brother Lu, you don't know about the sect's anniversary celebration? This is our centennial celebration."

"What centennial celebration?"

"Our Yuantian Holy Sect has been established for ten thousand years, and there is a grand celebration every hundred years. Since the establishment of the sect, we have celebrated several hundred grand celebrations."

"Moreover, we are a sect that has been passed down from an ancient great sect, so we are naturally even more extraordinary."

Hao Jian had a confident expression on his face and looked quite smug.

However, Lu An understood perfectly, since being a disciple of the Yuan Tian Sacred Sect was indeed a status to be proud of in this righteous society.

In short, as long as you mention the name of Yuantian Holy Sect when you go out, you will still have some face.

Of course, there is also the risk of assassination.

After all, those who follow the demonic path all want to kill a few members of the Holy Sect to gain fame and reduce their competitors.

He also mentioned several hundred Daqing, which means that the Yuantian Shengzong has been passed down for tens of thousands of years.

Lu An asked, "What are the special features of this sect's grand celebration?"

"All elders must attend, absolutely. If any elder is taking on a disciple, Daqing from the sect has a chance to become his disciple!"

"So you already have a master. You're not planning to find a new master during the sect's grand celebration, are you?"

Hao Jian nodded and said, "Of course I won't find a new master, but during the sect's grand celebration, there will be sect rewards, including many spirit stones and treasures, as well as secret manuals. Many people are waiting for the centennial celebration to make a fortune!"

Lu An asked again, "What does this mean?"

Hao Jian shrugged and said, "It's just to provide resources for promising newcomers and disciples so that they can go further on the path of cultivation in the future."

Lu An continued, "So, who do you think is the most popular sect elder right now in the process of accepting disciples and becoming an apprentice?"

Hao Jian looked at Lu An with an envious gaze and said, "Of course it's your master, Elder Lu An!"

"...Actually, my master isn't that strong. Aren't you guys exaggerating?"
