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

"This guy actually said that to me! How dare he say that to me! When I get the chance, I'll tear him to pieces!"

Zhao Mengyuan clenched her fists and said fiercely.

"Are you willing to accept this? To watch your man be taken away like this? Are you willing to accept this?"

A voice suddenly asked in a low voice, startling Zhao Mengyuan, who looked up in all directions.

Apart from the disciples working on the construction site, no one else appeared. Even when she released her divine sense, she could not sense anyone else.

What happened? What happened? Where did that sound come from? Where did it come from?

"He was clearly your junior brother, yet he was taken away by another man. How can you tolerate this? How can you tolerate this?"

The sound rang out again, causing Zhao Mengyuan to jump up abruptly and look around warily.

There was still nothing there; not a trace of anyone else could be detected.

Could it be that a powerful being is speaking to her?

"You can have him, you're qualified, he's not qualified! He's simply not qualified!"

The voice rang out again, and Zhao Mengyuan went from initial confusion to anger, and now to confusion and fear, wondering where the voice came from.

Zhao Mengyuan then angrily shouted at those around her, "Who are you? Show yourself! Show yourself!"

Perhaps due to not paying attention to her footing, Zhao Mengyuan actually lost her balance and slipped and fell.

Wang Mengzi happened to be passing by and saw Zhao Mengyuan slip and fall. He asked with concern, "Junior Sister Xiang, are you alright? What happened to you?"

Zhao Mengyuan raised her hand to stop her, saying, "I'm fine, thank you for your concern, senior brother..."

Wang Mengzi wanted to help her up, but seeing that Zhao Mengyuan had stood up on her own, he could only take a few steps back in disappointment: "Oh..."

She quickly realized where the voice was coming from.

This strange sound came from within her heart.

A shadow appeared behind her, and the shape and form of that shadow were very similar to her own.

And this voice, as if possessing some kind of power, began to cause her mind to sink slightly and feel dizzy.

"I am you. Why did you give that man to her? Why?" the voice continued to ask in a mysterious and resentful tone.

Clumps of black energy seeped out from Zhao Mengyuan's body and transformed into a human figure, hovering around her limbs as if manipulating her.

The shadowy figure continued in a seductive tone, "She and he have already left the Yuan Tian Holy Sect. Are you really that at ease?"

Zhao Mengyuan tried her best to calm herself down: "I... I can't, I have to hold back. A small act of impatience can ruin a great plan..."

However, the voice was unmoved: "Why should we tolerate it? That woman's spiritual energy is unstable. Find an opportunity to kill her!"

These words made Zhao Mengyuan instantly raise her head: "Unstable spiritual energy? What's going on? Is this true?"

The shadowy figure continued in a low voice, "I sensed just now that the woman's internal energy was unstable. If the battle drags on, she will surely be overwhelmed. As long as we seize the opportunity, we can kill her!"

Although these words were unfounded, for some reason, Zhao Mengyuan felt that they were all true.

An indescribable sense of trust filled her heart.

Although she didn't know what the shadowy figure was, she could sense that what it said was true, and she had an inexplicable sense of trust in what the shadowy figure said.

So she took out a location token, which pinpointed Lu An's location; it was the tracking spell she had cast on him last time.

Soon, she found Lu An's location on the location token. Combined with the map she carried, she discovered that Lu An was indeed not in the Yuan Tian Sacred Sect, but rather in a place some distance away from it.

The shadowy figure's voice sounded somewhat smug: "I wasn't lying to you, was I? Junior Brother Lu is there, and that woman is there too. As long as you take her by surprise and catch her off guard, even if you can't kill her, you can severely injure her and give her a good beating!"

The moment the shadowy figure finished speaking, the image of her successfully killing Yu Wanqing flashed through her mind.

As the sword pierced through, the unwillingness, anger, and fear revealed in Yu Wanqing's eyes in her dying moments gave her an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

This feeling is so comfortable.

The next moment, Zhao Mengyuan flew up from the spot and transformed into a stream of light, flying towards the sky.

On that unnamed mountain peak, Yu Wanqing nestled in Lu An's arms, occasionally trying to burrow deeper into his embrace.

Just like a baby kangaroo trying to squeeze into its mother's pouch.

"Sect Leader Yu, this won't do. Be mindful of public morals." Lu An tried to push Yu Wanqing away. He didn't want to be seen by anyone at this time. Even if there was no one else here, it wouldn't be good for small animals to see him.

However, as soon as he looked up, he saw several onlookers.

Those were several cows and horses grazing, but their eyes kept glancing in their direction.

Strange, even though they are animals, why did he feel that these cattle and horses seemed to have a gossipy look in their eyes?

"Don't move, I'm testing this..."

However, Yu Wanqing ignored him and instead grabbed his shoulder, then circulated her spiritual energy and sent it towards Lu An.

The next moment, Lu An felt a warm current flow into his body, and the place where the spiritual energy was being transmitted was the hand that Yu Wanqing was pressing on his chest.

Wow, this feels so good! I never knew they offered this kind of service.

Although Yu Wanqing lacked Zhao Mengyuan's allure and charm, she possessed a purity and innocence that Zhao Mengyuan never had.

Not bad, it tastes different from my senior sister's, and it's different from my master's.

But it still has to be my master, that mature aura... ah...

In that instant when he thought of his master, Lu An actually began to understand Boss Cao a little.

"This feeling was definitely right..."

Yu Wanqing took a deep breath; she could feel it.

Lu An's spiritual power and the spiritual power within her body were merging together, and the two spiritual powers were fusing with each other.

That's right, this feeling—the discomfort in her body was easing, and the merging of the different techniques was making her feel increasingly comfortable.

However, Yu Wanqing also felt puzzled.

Why is Lu An's spiritual energy level so low? It feels like... he's at the Nascent Soul stage.

Was it just my imagination? Or was Lu An suppressing his cultivation? Did he not want to hurt her?

She knew that sometimes powerful beings possessed far more spiritual energy than they appeared on the surface; they simply suppressed it, which was why it didn't seem like much.

If someone were to suddenly probe their cultivation level, they would likely be attacked by spiritual energy. Some disciples and elders had previously been attacked and turned into vegetative states after trying to probe the cultivation level of some secluded elders while shaking hands with them.

Thinking of this, Yu Wanqing was actually quite moved.

"Sect Master Yu, what are you saying? What you're saying isn't wrong?"

"What I mean is... Elder Lu, you are indeed the most suitable candidate for dual cultivation that I have found so far!"

Great, has it been successfully verified? Does this mean they've decided he can't escape?

"Sect Master Yu, this matter is of great importance. I hope you can allow me time to consider it carefully..."

Boom! Boom!

Before Lu An could finish speaking, the once cloudless sky was instantly covered with dark clouds. At the same time, thunder rumbled in the distance, and streaks of red lightning appeared.

A surge of demonic energy was coming from the sky, moving at great speed, and its target seemed to be their side.

"There's a demonic cultivator! And he's at the Tribulation Transcending stage!"

Yu Wanqing reacted very quickly. She immediately pulled away from Lu An's embrace, drew her sword, and became alert.

Soon, a streak of black and red light appeared on the horizon, and judging from its direction, it was indeed heading straight for them.

"They can even mess with demonic cultivators? Working overtime on weekends too?"

Chapter 237 The Struggle Between Two Women

Dark clouds loom over the city, threatening to crush it. Lu An hadn't fully grasped the meaning of this poem before, but now he did.

The sudden appearance of the dark cloud did indeed create a strong sense of oppression.

Moreover, the extremely unusual black and red lightning made it all the more terrifying and eerie.

Yu Wanqing said it was a demonic cultivator in the Tribulation Transcending stage, but Lu An, watching this scene, fell into deep thought.

Is this demonic cultivator in the Tribulation Transcending stage really that powerful? I don't think I've ever seen one like this before.

Shouldn't demonic cultivators be keeping a low profile these days? Being high-profile will only get them ganged up on!

The black and red light fell rapidly, and a powerful shockwave swept over them instantly. However, Yu Wanqing simply raised her hand slightly, forming a barrier that blocked the shockwave.

The man's fall stirred up a cloud of dust and countless pebbles, which rained down like a storm.

As the smoke cleared, a dark red figure surrounded by lightning appeared before the two.

Lu An immediately recognized the aura and exclaimed, "Heavenly Demon Technique! This is someone from the Heavenly Demon Sect!"

But he quickly shut his mouth again.

Although this person exuded the aura of the Heavenly Demon Art, this aura felt somewhat familiar to him.

However, he couldn't see the person's appearance clearly. The person was dressed in black and red clothes and wore a skull mask, making him extremely mysterious.

It is indeed mysterious, but if this outfit were in a crowd, it would probably be noticed immediately, and it would be impossible to keep a low profile.

The streets are full of people dressed in ordinary clothes, and then someone comes along dressed in a black robe. Who wouldn't know that you're trying to hide your identity?

"Woman, get away from him."

This was the first sentence this person uttered, but its voice was filled with echoes, making it impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman.

"Oh? Who are you? You think you can just leave like that?"

Yu Wanqing was not afraid at all. As she drew her Jade Void Sword, her aura suddenly changed, and layers of ice and frost began to appear on the surrounding grass.

Both of them exuded a terrifying killing intent, causing Lu An to feel a sharp pain and involuntarily take a few steps back.

His intuition told him that these two people were far too dangerous, and he had to step back, or he would be caught in the crossfire sooner or later.

However, the aura emanating from this person is all too familiar. Who could it be?

But he soon remembered.

"Could it be my senior sister?"

Sensing the aura emanating from this person, Lu An suddenly thought of Zhao Mengyuan, but then he realized that it shouldn't be possible for her to know they were here.

Could it be that something tracking me has been installed on me again? A GPS tracker?

So Lu An patted himself all over, but found nothing.

However, his self-touching manner drew laughter from some of the bolder cattle and horses who hadn't left yet.

Their mocking laughter sounded somewhat like the braying of donkeys, and it was unclear what kind of cattle or horses they were.

So Lu An turned his head and glared at them fiercely. The meaning in his eyes was very clear: I'm going to kill you all and make you into hot pot!

So the cattle and horses slunk away, chewing on the grass.

Yu Wanqing said arrogantly, "You are a member of the Heavenly Demon Sect, yet you dare to come out so openly? Don't you know this is your demonic territory?"

The man in black said coldly, "This isn't your righteous territory either, but that doesn't matter, I'm here to kill you."

Yu Wanqing sneered: "You're coming to kill me? Are you serious? With your abilities?"

The man in black brandished his longsword, crackling with black and red lightning: "Why can't we take it seriously? Do you think you're that strong, Yu Wanqing?"

Hearing the other person call her name, Yu Wanqing's expression became slightly more serious: "It seems you know me and have made preparations?"

"It's not just that I know you, but I'm not going to waste any more words with you!"

He drew his sword and charged forward. His black and red figure transformed into a streak of black and red light, arriving in front of Yu Wanqing in an instant. Yu Wanqing reacted quickly as well, raising her longsword to block the man's attack in that same instant.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The two swords clashed continuously, sparking brilliant flashes one after another, while powerful shockwaves constantly erupted around them, even distorting the space itself.

The battle between two Transcending Tribulation stage cultivators, consisting of nothing more than basic attacks, already caused changes in the space around them. If they were to unleash their full power, it would be unimaginable.

Lu An thought of the sword he had used to block Yu Wanqing's path back then, wondering how he could have been so brave.

If he had been even slightly off-center, he would have been shattered into dust. This sword energy wasn't just splitting him in two; it was pulverizing him into pieces.

I'm really lucky, really lucky.

He was now hiding behind a rock taller than himself. The rock had originally been relatively flat, but as the two women continued to fight, sword marks appeared on it one after another.
