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

He couldn't tolerate this anymore; he had to have a serious talk with Yu Wanqing! She wasn't someone who was so easily persuaded!

"Sect Master Yu, is this true?"

"Indeed, most of our spirit stone mines are in the north, and some of them have now been occupied by demons. If someone goes to clear them out, the problem might be solved."

Yu Wanqing put on a pitiful look: "Besides, although the other elders are unwilling to face demons, they will still accept other missions to share the burden of the sect. I wonder if Elder Lu..."

Lu An's sense of responsibility instantly surged: "No need to say more, as an inner sect elder of this sect, I will certainly do my best for the sect."

The NPC has started issuing quests, but he can't do this quest alone, so he needs to call for help.

In the past, he would have been annoyed about who to call, but now he doesn't.

The best thug is right next door, isn't he?

Lu An turned his head and asked, "Disciple, would you like to go and hone your skills?"

Xiang Wanqiu asked in confusion, "What does Master mean?"

"Does that mean you're willing to learn a skill?" Lu An continued to ask.

"Of course I'd love to! I've been dreaming about it!" Xiang Wanqiu exclaimed with a look of delight, her performance perfectly mimicking the character's.

"Alright, I'll give you some special training, teach you secret techniques, and take you out of the sect!"

"Elder Lu, is this alright?"

Yu Wanqing was very happy because Lu An had agreed, but she was also very worried because he actually wanted to lead newly initiated disciples into dangerous places and face demons head-on. How could he possibly do such a thing?

Isn't this going to kill me?

"Don't worry, with me here, I'll naturally keep her safe."

Chapter 227 You're in charge of this place.

Zhao Mengyuan slammed Lu An onto the grass and asked angrily, "What kind of nonsense are you making promises to people like that? You haven't even warmed your seat at the Yuan Tian Holy Sect yet, and you're already going to exterminate demons?"

Lu An rubbed his butt and then shrugged: "I don't want to either, but I think this might be a good opportunity?"

Zhao Mengyuan couldn't understand: "What good opportunity?"

"Pretend to capture and destroy demons, but actually plan to lure them into the Yuan Tian Holy Sect and then destroy them! In this way, we can revitalize our Heavenly Demon Sect!"

Lu An waved his arms and said with great excitement.

"I really don't know if you're smart, stupid, or just ambitious."

"Besides, Junior Brother, you are so strong, why don't you find an opportunity to secretly take care of the Sect Master and that Yu Wanqing?"

Zhao Mengyuan asked, her face full of confusion.

"What do you mean by that, senior sister?"

Seeing that Lu An seemed genuinely confused, Zhao Mengyuan explained to him: "Demons and monsters are not divided by race. If demons and monsters invade the Yuan Tian Holy Sect and ruin the righteous path, then the balance will be broken, and it will be difficult for us demons to survive. This is no longer a struggle between the righteous and the demonic, but a struggle for the survival of humanity."

"Of course, your idea is good. Using the conflicts between foreign tribes to relieve the pressure on our demonic path is a good idea. However, if we don't play it right, we will lose everything. Besides, the situation in the Northern Territory is very complicated right now. If we are not careful, we will become sinners for all time."

Lu An was stunned. He never expected that his senior sister would have such noble racial sentiments. Looking at it this way, he seemed to be a selfish and immoral person.

But something's not right. Isn't she the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Demon Sect? How could she say such a thing?

A sinner for all time? What kind of nonsense is this?

Given her status, shouldn't she agree with his plan, then expand and strengthen the business, creating even greater glories?

Lu An was a little confused, but he couldn't refute it, because what he said seemed to make a lot of sense.

"So, what do you mean, senior sister?"

"I have some poison here. You can ask someone to poison the canteen of the Spirit Food Hall. Then we can introduce demons, which will leave the main gate of the Yuan Tian Holy Sect wide open and cause the sect to fall. The plan will succeed."

You overestimated her; it turns out she was just bragging before.

"They haven't even found the demons yet, and they're already planning to poison us? What's the point of poisoning us now?"

"Don't you like to talk nonsense? I'll just talk nonsense with you for a bit."

Zhao Mengyuan stuck out her tongue, looking quite mischievous, which left Lu An speechless.

However, it's great that the two sides are on the same wavelength.

"Furthermore, junior brother, you are so strong, and now you are able to get close to the sect leader and Yu Wanqing, why don't you find an opportunity to kill them?"

"Strong? Able to get close to them? Senior Sister, you must have misunderstood something."

"Why do you say that, junior brother?"

Lu An looked distressed and then put on a dramatic act, saying, "Senior Sister, you don't know this, but don't be fooled by my friendly conversation with the Yuan Tian Holy Sect members above. Everyone is actually wary of me!"

"Let's not even talk about Yu Wanqing. Do you think I have much contact with her? Actually, she's been monitoring me. Don't you think that even if I, a guy from the Heavenly Demon Sect, make my motives sound incredibly convincing and reasonable, do you think they'd believe me?"

Zhao Mengyuan thought for a moment: "No...it seems like what you said makes some sense."

Lu An continued to complain, "That's right, you have no idea how miserable I've been these days! Every day I'm scheming against them. These so-called elders of the Enforcement Hall are just deliberately giving me power. In reality, they've been secretly watching me to see if I'll do anything wrong. The more power I have, the easier it is for them to find something to use against me!"

"Something's not right?"

"Look at that deputy elder, he's actually there to supervise me. Every time they take me to those execution grounds, they torture those captured undercover agents. It's all a warning to me. They're trying to find something on me and throw me in jail!"

"Is it really that scary?"

"Is it really that terrible!"

Lu An used a combination of threats and deception, leaving Zhao Mengyuan completely bewildered.

"So I'm very anxious now. Every day I wake up worried that I won't be able to survive. I want to go back to the sect but I can't. You all know what kind of reputation I have in the demonic path."

Zhao Mengyuan fully understood what Lu An was saying. After all, the entire Heavenly Demon Sect was now calling for Lu An's execution and practically wanted to skin him alive.

Aside from her master and herself, almost everyone listed Lu An as their number one enemy. Even the young female fans who were infatuated with him back then wanted to kill him.

The Heavenly Demon Sect held a very grand criticism meeting regarding Lu An's heinous acts, listing all of Lu An's various misdeeds and making strong criticisms, while also extending friendly greetings to his ancestors for eighteen generations.

However, when asked who would capture this traitor of the demonic path, all the disciples and elders remained silent.

Then everyone had a friendly discussion about how to capture the traitor Lu An, and even believed that the time was not right and that they should not act rashly.

Since the Heavenly Demon Sect has suffered heavy losses, it has been decided to focus on restoring its vitality, putting aside hatred, accelerating the modernization of the Heavenly Demon Sect, and strengthening the spirit of unity among all members of the Heavenly Demon Sect.

"We don't know when they'll ask us to leave yet. We'll need to continue cultivating within the sect for the time being, so..."

"Master, do you have any tasks assigned to me?"

Zhao Mengyuan turned her head and looked at Lu An with a half-smile, asking him a question.

"What task do I have for you?"

Lu An turned his head and glanced at the dilapidated mountain peak, and suddenly had an idea.

"This mountain peak is currently unfinished, Senior Sister, why don't you renovate it?"

"I'll handle the renovations?"

"Yes, I've always been rather lazy. In the sect, you're probably in charge of this most of the time, right? So I think it's more reassuring to leave it to you."

"You're an elder, you're the master, I'm in charge of the renovations, what do you take me for?"

Zhao Mengyuan was a little angry; she never expected to be used as free labor.

"No one else lives on this mountain. Occasionally other elders may come, but in the end it's just the two of us."

"So I'm at ease leaving it to my senior sister!"

"These are spirit stones. Just go and get whatever you need. Senior Sister, you're good at this. You know more than I do."

Lu An casually uttered this sentence and then tossed the bag of spirit stones to Zhao Mengyuan.

"This guy, no, you're like this? Who's the master here anyway?"

"You're still my senior! I'm rooting for you!"

"Where are you going?"

"Let's go to the Spirit Food Hall for a meal."

Lu An flew away on his sword, leaving Lu Zhaomengyuan alone on the peak, contemplating the mountain that needed repair.

"This guy just left like that? He's quite like his master when it comes to being a hands-off manager."

"But he said...it was just the two of us? Just the two of us?"

Zhao Mengyuan carefully pondered those words, and soon two blushes appeared on her face. Then she cupped her rosy cheeks in her hands.

Are you blushing like a bubble teapot?

"In that case, we should dress up in a way that we both like."

Zhao Mengyuan stood with her hands on her hips, looking at the dilapidated mountain peak, thinking to herself that she must do her best and never let her junior brother down.

"Junior brother, just trust your senior sister!"

In the distance, Lu An, who was flying on his sword, couldn't help but shudder, and then felt a chill run down his spine.

Chapter 228 Do you know how old I am, Senior Sister?

Lu An spent several days away from home, not for any particular reason, but because even when he went back, Zhao Mengyuan kicked him out.

"No, senior sister, what are you doing? Why are you sending me away?"

"Don't go in and make things worse! It's construction work! It's construction work!"

Zhao Mengyuan somehow got hold of a white hat and put it on her head. From afar, Lu An could see many figures working on the peak, with various building materials being transported to the mountain using the Art of Manipulation.

There are also excavators and transport airships.

However, Lu An almost thought he had misread it, so he rubbed his eyes and looked again, and then he was sure that he had not misread it.

That was indeed an excavator.

"What is this?"

"Oh, this is an excavator, used for digging things. The excavators of the Yuan Tian Sheng Sect are quite good, much better than those of our Tian Mo Sect."

Lu An was speechless; he hadn't expected this thing to actually be an excavator.

At the same time, he wondered, has the world gone mad?

Did another time traveler travel to this world, carry out the Industrial Revolution, and invent something, but then went off to cultivate immortality halfway through?

Did he die before completing his invention of time travel?

"How was this done?"

"If I hadn't come, I wouldn't have known that this place actually has such a good spiritual artifact." Zhao Mengyuan was extremely excited and began to say, "This model and power are much better than our Heavenly Demon Sect's. The work that the Heavenly Demon Sect's excavators can't finish in a day can be done in half a day. It's really amazing."

"That's really great. By the way, what are you doing? What are you digging for?"

"Dig the foundation, and a tall building rises from the ground."

"You know magic, why are you..."

"I haven't learned any architectural magic, so I can't exactly use a sword to cut a hole, can I?"

Boom! Boom!

The excavators worked hard, piling up small mounds of earth, which were the soil for digging the foundation.

What style do you want to create?

"Of course, I have my own plans."

Zhao Mengyuan said with her head held high and chest out.

"Junior Sister Xiang, this is the order form for this shipment. Please take a look."

A muscular senior student wearing a yellow hat came over strutting around and handed over a form.

"Alright, here's your spirit stone ticket, take it."

Zhao Mengyuan signed her name on the form in a flamboyant manner, and then readily handed over a spirit stone ticket that could be exchanged for spirit stones at the bank.

She is efficient and decisive, with the demeanor of a big sister. It's hard to associate her with a junior apprentice who has just started her training.

Her straightforward and efficient style is just like her senior sister's; she commands them without the slightest awkwardness, but rather with great ease.
