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

"Alright, alright, child, get up, get up!" Li Podao helped Lu An up.

"Thank you for your concern, Master!" Lu An stood up, his face full of excitement.

The Heavenly Demon Sect is so damn easy to get by in! I just broke through to the third level of the Golden Core stage, and they're already giving me medicine; I need to prepare for the fourth level!

With this kind of progress, why worry that his talent won't lead him to the Nascent Soul stage within a hundred years?

"My child, just in time, I have an important task for you!"

"Your child is ready! Master, please give the order!"

"Alright, alright, I need you to go to the Righteous Alliance and become an undercover agent!"

"Your son will do whatever it takes... Ah... Master, what did you say!?"

Chapter Thirty-Two: I was originally a woman.

Lu An was completely bewildered at this moment, his brain's CPU was in a state of shutdown, and he didn't know what to say.

He couldn't tell which things were real anymore; his mind was blank, or rather, chaotic, and he had no idea what was going on.

To summarize what happened today after he came out of seclusion, Zhao Mengyuan asked him if he had a Daoist partner and told him that if he wanted to find a Daoist partner, he should definitely consider her first!

Then his master gave him a secret pill, which would allow him to advance to the fourth level of the Golden Core stage if he could persuade the master to recognize him as his godfather!

Thinking back to how well Li had treated him before he broke through to the Dao, he agreed.

Now you're telling him to go undercover for the Righteous Alliance? What the hell is this?

He didn't know that the Righteous Path Alliance was not a sect, but an organization created by a group of righteous sect leaders to fight against the demonic path.

To join the Righteous Alliance, one cannot do so by becoming an apprentice; entry is only possible through strength or by having someone recommend one.

Now his master wants him to go undercover in the Righteous Alliance? What kind of joke is this?

“Given your established reputation within our Heavenly Demon Sect, going undercover like this is definitely not an option.” Li Podao patted Lu An on the shoulder: “Therefore, your master has a plan that will work!”

"Master, you can't make me go undercover! Look at my strength, my physique, my mental fortitude..."

"What's wrong? Aren't you mentally strong and physically fit?"

"How come it's all better? I was terrified every day, thank goodness, how come it's all better?" Lu An recalled the tribulations he had experienced over the past year, as well as that disastrous sect competition, which was simply deadly.

"You acted very well, and you didn't show any fear at all during the last sect competition." Li Podao patted his shoulder and said, "Moreover, with your Golden Core strength, you made all the Void Refinement stage senior brothers and sisters treat you with utmost respect at the sect gathering. Isn't that a skill?"

Lu An raised an eyebrow as he thought of that sect gathering.

That was when he, as a true disciple of Li Podao, attended a sect gathering with Zhao Mengyuan.

The sect gathering is a gathering of many outstanding disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect who are away from home, who return to the sect to exchange experiences, similar to an alumni reunion.

The table was overflowing with people, almost all of whom were at the Void Refinement stage, and a few of them were at the Tribulation Transcending stage. It was simply overwhelming.

Those in the Nascent Soul stage and the Spirit Division stage are not served at this table, let alone those in the Golden Core stage and the Foundation Establishment stage.

However, Lu An sat among a group of Void Refinement and Tribulation Transcending experts, drinking and exchanging toasts with them. All of this was arranged by his cheap master.

Although some people questioned his abilities and tried to make things difficult for him, they were all silenced by his unfathomable and pretentious ways of showing off.

Not knowing the extent of his junior brother's strength, he dared not test him lightly.

In short, his reputation in the Heavenly Demon Sect rose even higher, and because of his special physique, no one could tell what level of cultivation he was.

In short, everyone believed that the junior brother whom the sect leader had arranged to sit here possessed unfathomable cultivation and was destined to be a remarkable figure! A future giant of the demonic path!

But he was just a weak, helpless, and pitiful little golden elixir.

"Master, that was just an impromptu performance, it shouldn't be taken seriously!"

Actually, he's quite timid; every time something like this happens, his nerves get on edge.

But honestly, it seems that the more experiences you have, the less nervous you become.

"What do you mean by improvisation? I think you were born for this!"

Li Podao's judgment of people is quite accurate. With such strength, he has such a calm and composed ability to control the situation, which is not something that ordinary people can have.

It's impossible to send him to fight; what if he gets exposed? So Li Podao came up with a mission specifically for him.

Go infiltrate the Righteous Alliance as an undercover agent!

No one in the entire sect is more suitable to be an undercover agent than this guy. Moreover, he is weak and will not easily betray his side. He is simply the ideal candidate to be an undercover agent!

He's the one! It has to be him! A once-in-a-millennium undercover talent!

"But Master, I cultivate the Heavenly Demon Art, and the demonic energy within my body is easily detected..."

"Try using your Righteous Qi Gong, and then take a look at yourself."

Li Podao waved his hand and summoned a mirror. Lu An looked at himself in the mirror, used the Righteous Qi Gong, and found that he was full of righteous energy.

Lu An suddenly realized what was happening.

Damn it, that sixth brother of Master, no wonder he made him practice the Righteous Qi Gong, I never expected him to have such ulterior motives!

"Look at the Righteous Qi Gong you cultivate, combined with your Supreme Primordial Qi Gong, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call you a representative of the righteous path!"

Lu An looked at himself in the mirror, unsure of what to say.

There's no way to refute it; everything he said is true.

He exudes an aura of righteousness, seemingly impervious to all evil. With such an appearance, which righteous person wouldn't be confused?

If he were to infiltrate the Righteous Alliance, who would have thought that this guy was actually sent by the Heavenly Demon Sect?

They'll probably just be overjoyed and shout, "A righteous person like us is emerging in every generation!"

"Good disciple, as long as you go undercover and come back, you will be the vice sect leader!"

Li Podao put his arm around Lu An's shoulder, as if they were discussing some important secret matter.

"Vice...Vice Sect Master?" Lu An felt bewildered.

"Of course, I'll personally support you then, who would dare to say no?" Li Podao patted Lu An on the shoulder, as if to say, "You have to trust your master."

Lu An thought to himself, "Goodness, I've certainly eaten my fill of flatbread since coming to this Heavenly Demon Sect."

It seems they had promised the elders beforehand that he would be promoted to deputy sect leader.

Forget it, the leader is just making empty promises; I'll just listen to them.

This thing is just like love; whoever takes it seriously first loses.

"Disciple, you shall take this sword."

"This sword is...?"

"These are spoils of war I obtained from the experts of the Righteous Alliance. Take them with you." Li Podao took out a longsword from somewhere, which was sheathed in a blue scabbard, and handed it to Lu An.

"Spoils from defeating a master of the Righteous Alliance!?"

Lu An took the longsword and drew it. The longsword, as slender as a green blade, actually emitted a chilling aura and light under the bright sunlight.

"This is the Azure Sword, the sword of the former leader of the Righteous Alliance."

Lu An stared at the sword in his hand, momentarily stunned.

Big stuff! Huge stuff! The sword of the former leader of the Righteous Alliance, you actually managed to get your hands on it?

"Who was the former leader?"

"His name is Xia Qinglan. He's probably in seclusion right now, trying to break through to the Mahayana stage."

"So, Master, you stole this sword?"

"No, I lied to get it."

"Oh, you tricked me! Master is indeed resourceful!" Lu An nodded: "How did you trick me?"

“He said he would give me this sword as my betrothal gift, so I took it and then ran away with the sword.”

"Oh, as a betrothal gift for Master... Wait!? Master, what did you say!?"

To Lu An's astonishment, a white light suddenly shone from Li Podao's body, causing Lu An to instinctively raise his hand to shield his eyes.

When the white light disappeared, the middle-aged-looking, otherworldly-looking master was gone.

Instead, there was a stunningly beautiful woman with cascading white hair, a graceful figure, and every move she made was incredibly alluring.

"what……?"

Lu An was truly dumbfounded. He felt like his brain was smoking wildly, and his CPU was running at high speed, making a crackling sound.

Very well, this world of cultivation is truly full of strange occurrences.

My middle-aged, greasy master has actually turned into an extremely beautiful white-haired master?

What the heck is this? What the heck?!

"What's wrong, disciple? Are you staring blankly? I am your master!"

Li Podao, now transformed into a stunningly beautiful woman with white hair, looked at Lu An, who was in a daze, covered her face with a smile, waved her hand, and asked.

"Master's transformation technique is truly excellent..." Lu An tried his best to maintain his composure and praised with clasped hands.

My master is probably from a branch of the male sect of the Hehuan Sect. I've heard that the men there love to dress up as women, and their transformation skills are superb.

The world is full of wonders. He's just a master who can disguise himself as a woman. What's so strange about that?

Not surprising at all!

"What transformation technique? I am a woman." Li Podao rolled his eyes.

Chapter Thirty-Three: Lu An is a traitor!?

Lu An fell silent. He felt that he had seen and experienced many strange things today.

It seems like I've encountered more things than I have in all the years I've been at the Heavenly Demon Sect.

What should he do? He didn't know.

Zhao Mengyuan had told him earlier that he should consider her when considering a Daoist partner, which made sense.

It's fine to recognize a godfather later, after all, my master has been good to me, so I can recognize him as a godfather.

As for going undercover, although he hadn't agreed yet, Lu An knew deep down that there was no room for negotiation.

Now, Li Podao, who had always appeared as a man, has transformed into a stunningly beautiful white-haired woman, with curves in all the right places, making one's blood boil.

He could still give himself a reason: his master's transformation technique was unfathomable, and even when he transformed into a woman, he was so charming.

But after a while, his master said that he was originally a woman, and he really didn't know what to say.

Oh well, this world is abnormal anyway, let it be.

Don't think too much about yourself. Just being alive is good enough. Just being alive is good enough.

“That’s how I did it. I tricked Xia Qinglan into refusing to marry me and made her devoted to me.” Li Podao smiled and said, “Then he gave me this sword to show that he didn’t refuse to marry me.”

Lu An didn't know what to say. It turned out that his master was not only a white-haired witch, but also a white-haired scumbag.

He cheated her out of her feelings, her money, and even her sword?

No, it's a scam to get a bride price.

"Since Master is an absolute beauty, why does she appear in public as a man?"

“Because the position of sect leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect has always been passed down to men, not women, although it is an unwritten rule, I must abide by it.” Li Podao said solemnly, “Anyway, no one can see through my transformation technique, so I will transform into a man and take over this position.”

"Then, does the former sect leader know?" Lu An asked tentatively.

"Of course he knew, but no one was more suitable to be the sect leader than me, so he turned a blind eye." Li Podao nodded and said, "Besides, he's dead now!"

"Dead!? The former sect leader is dead!?"

"Yes, he didn't survive the tribulation and was reincarnated to start anew."

Lu An was speechless. The former sect leader had actually been struck by lightning and died. No wonder no one had ever mentioned him.

Looking at the long, slender legs of the white-haired beauty in front of him, Lu An suddenly realized something.

Was it just this leg that he clung to when he begged Li Podao to help him pass the tribulation?

Why was she just that middle-aged old man back then?
