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

"That's right, with this aura and this material, it must be a Heaven-Rank weapon."

"What a powerful aura of the Heavenly Dao! I wonder how many Heavenly Dao Spirit Stones were used to forge it."

"Even within the Righteous Alliance, you can hardly find more than a few weapons like this!"

After seeing the cyan longsword, everyone's idea became even more firm.

Possessing such a powerful weapon, this person must be a reclusive, powerful cultivator!

His arrival here was their destiny! So they couldn't let him go so easily!

Although he looks very young, who knows how old he is?

They shouldn't be underestimated! They definitely shouldn't be underestimated!

Lu An ran his fingers along the blade of the Azure Sword, as if showing off something.

However, Lu An was just wondering why the Azure Sword obeyed him so readily when he hadn't done anything or gone through any blood oath ceremony.

Not only is the matching rate high, but the matching speed is also fast, which is truly amazing.

Yu Wanqing looked at the long sword and, for some reason, felt a sense of familiarity with it.

It feels like I've seen this long sword before, a very, very long time ago.

The aura emanating from this longsword involuntarily transported her thoughts back to a certain moment in the past.

"I wonder when I can start work... no, when I can go to the sect to take up my duties?" Lu An asked with some anticipation.

"Ah...it's ready now!" Yu Wanqing snapped out of her daze and quickly said.

"Fellow Daoist, the spirit stones from our Taiqing Holy Sect will arrive in your account very soon..."

Before Hong Xuanyun could finish speaking, Yu Wanqing took out a token and handed it to Lu An.

"This is the guest elder token of my Yuantian Holy Sect. Fellow Daoist, infuse it with spiritual energy, and it will immediately recognize you as its master!"

After saying that, Yu Wanqing grabbed Lu An's hand with lightning speed and placed it in her own.

Before Lu An knew what was happening, the token lit up and officially recognized Lu An as its owner.

"Yu Wanqing, you..."

"First come, first served, you said it!"

Yu Wanqing said smugly, and grabbed Lu An's wrist, gesturing defiantly at Hong Xuanyun.

Hong Xuan's face turned red, and her lips pouted, but there was nothing she could do.

"Fellow Daoist, my sixty spirit stones are not just empty promises. If you come, I can add more!"

"Sorry, I've seen too many empty promises like this. This isn't as practical as you say," Lu An said, patting the bag containing spirit stones.

Hong Xuanyun was helpless. What could she do when this fellow Daoist wouldn't eat her flatbread?

It's all her fault. She's a spendthrift who tried to steal someone else's partner at the crucial moment, and now she's broke because she's broke.

"May I ask your name, fellow Daoist? If you change your mind, my Taiqing Holy Sect will always welcome you!" Hong Xuanyun was still unwilling to give up and extended a final olive branch: "Moreover, fellow Daoist should know that the Yuantian Holy Sect is not an easy place to meddle in!"

"Don't talk nonsense! Our Yuan Tian Holy Sect has always been upright and honorable, and we respect each other. How can we allow you to slander us like this!"

"Sect Master Yu, please don't get agitated. I was just saying it casually. It's not that serious!" Hong Xuanyun covered her face with her hands and said, "Do you know that our Taiqing Holy Sect has always held your Yuantian Holy Sect in high esteem?"

Yu Wanqing pouted, completely ignoring what Hong Xuanyun said.

This lady in red has the air of Lin Daiyu, and she's got that green tea vibe all over her.

Mo Yun and the burly man wanted to recruit him, but seeing that the Yuan Tian Sheng Zong had already recruited him as a guest elder, they couldn't say anything more.

No one wanted to compete with the Yuantian Holy Sect for people, so only the Taiqing Holy Sect would resort to sarcastic remarks.

"Gentlemen, what brings you here?" Lu An suddenly realized something and changed the subject.

"Fellow Daoist, have you seen anything here?" Mo Yun asked.

I almost forgot their purpose; they didn't come here to recruit people.

"What do you see?" Lu An asked, puzzled.

"Fellow Daoist, have you ever seen a giant dragon? A very large one!" Yu Wanqing asked.

"I saw it." Lu An nodded indifferently.

"But there are still people from the Heavenly Demon Sect!?" Mo Yun continued to ask, eager to verify whether his divine sense identification was correct.

"Yes." Lu An nodded.

Why are these guys asking this? Do they want to capture that dragon?

You're really skilled and daring. With your approach, you're practically handing your lives over to the authorities.

"Fellow Daoist, why are you here too?" Hong Xuanyun asked coldly. Her attitude was not as good as before, but she still tried to remain polite.

"I escaped from the Heavenly Demon Sect and was chased all the way here. Who knew that a giant dragon would be lurking here!" Lu An said solemnly.

"Escaped from the Heavenly Demon Sect? What were you doing at the Heavenly Demon Sect, fellow Daoist?" Yu Wanqing asked curiously, while also becoming more wary.

Could this person have some connection with the Heavenly Demon Sect? Or perhaps he is a member of the Heavenly Demon Sect?

"I was inside, and I tried to assassinate someone, but their security measures were too tight, and I failed..." Lu An sighed, looking very disappointed.

Master, this was your idea, and I used it as instructed. So it wasn't a waste of the sword you took.

Thinking of this, Lu An felt a little regretful.

If only he had been the one to stab me back then, he would have truly been a Sigma man!

"Fellow Daoist, who are you trying to assassinate?" Mo Yun asked curiously.

He is an enigmatic man.

"The Heavenly Demon Sect Master, Li Podao..."

Instantly, the entire room fell silent.

Chapter 44: Is he really an undercover agent?

No one knows exactly how many levels of tribulation the Heavenly Demon Sect Master, Li Podao, has undergone.

Some say he has reached the sixth level of tribulation, others say the eighth, and still others say the ninth, just one step away from the Mahayana stage.

A master of the Heavenly Demon Art, one of the strongest demonic masters, and supposedly one of the F4 leaders of the demonic path, and the kind who does the hair.

However, many people say that Li Podao became the sect leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect not because of his great strength, nor because of his glorious achievement of fighting against a hundred strong people of the righteous path alone.

It's not because he's cunning, but because he's extremely cunning.

They hide in the Heavenly Demon Sect and never come out, and every time they lead people to fight the Righteous Alliance, they only come out at the last moment.

Even if they were to fight, they would only wave flags and shout slogans, throw out a couple of light orbs, activate their Dharma form to intimidate people, and then run away and disappear.

However, he also had a brilliant record of breaking through the Dao. It is said that he once fought against five masters of the Righteous Path Alliance all by himself, and the battle ended in a draw. His Heavenly Demon Art was almost unparalleled in the world.

In short, when someone becomes famous, there will be many rumors, which may be unfounded or may not even exist at all.

But as long as it's fun, that's all that matters.

Some people are even saying that Rihado is a woman, how could that be possible!?

A shabby old man who's a demonic cultivator is actually a woman? No dog would believe it if you told them!

"Fellow Daoist, is it true that you assassinated Li Podao?" Yu Wanqing asked cautiously.

If it really was an assassination attempt on Li Podao, then this person... she'll have to question him thoroughly.

We should treat it well.

"Nonsense! Li Podao is one of the strongest Demon Lords in the Demonic Path, and also the Sect Master of the Heavenly Demon Sect. He stays in the Heavenly Demon Sect all day and never comes out." Hong Xuanyun was full of disbelief: "Fellow Daoist, how could you possibly kill Li Podao!"

Lu An felt a little proud after hearing this.

So this cheap master of mine is really that famous outside? These few Tribulation Transcending cultivators all praise him for being strong.

“The Cloud Fiend Mountain alone can disorient countless people. Getting into the Heavenly Demon Sect will likely require a considerable amount of effort!” Mo Yun agreed.

After all, even his divine sense, which resonated with the Heavenly Dao, could not penetrate the mist of Cloud Fiend Mountain, and he could only get lost inside it.

"Fellow Daoist, don't talk nonsense. That Li Podao is extremely cunning, with ever-changing moves. How could he be so easily assassinated?!"

The burly man was even more incredulous, after all, he had fought against Li Podao before.

Those ever-changing moves rendered his brute strength useless.

However, because his shell was as thick as a tortoise's, even Li Podao was helpless against him.

On one hand, they can't hit anyone, and on the other hand, they can't break through the defenses.

"What you all don't know is that I endured humiliation and hardship in the Heavenly Demon Sect, biding my time, all for that moment!" Upon hearing this, Lu An, true to his dramatic nature, began to act: "I infiltrated the Heavenly Demon Sect for many years before finding the opportunity to assassinate! I didn't just recklessly rush in!"

"Infiltrating the Heavenly Demon Sect? Fellow Daoist, could you elaborate?" Yu Wanqing's eyes suddenly lit up, but they were filled with suspicion.

Is the person in front of me a spy from the Heavenly Demon Sect? Is it true?!

"Fellow Daoist, anyone can tell a story, but do you have any evidence?" Hong Xuanyun asked, somewhat disbelieving.

These people, as expected, don't believe in themselves.

That makes sense, though. It's difficult to even get into the Heavenly Demon Sect, let alone become an undercover agent.

Without some evidence, who would believe the one-sided story of someone they've just met?

So Lu An took out his true disciple token.

Since the news of my betrayal of the Heavenly Demon Sect would spread throughout the world sooner or later anyway, I might as well say it now.

Moreover, his reputation as a true disciple of the Heavenly Demon Sect was already known to many righteous people.

Lu An is a newly accepted true disciple of Li Podao.

The thief should cry "stop thief!" first. And if the legitimate path offers good treatment, why not just turn against them and join the legitimate path?

Go wherever it's easy to make a living!

"The Heavenly Demon Sect's True Disciple Token!?" Although Mo Yun was blind, he was the first person to sense what the token was.

The aura and power of that Heavenly Demon Sect were absolutely genuine.

"It seems this gentleman has good taste!" Lu An nodded and said, "That's right, this is the token of a true disciple of the Heavenly Demon Sect!"

Upon hearing this, everyone gasped in shock.

This guy actually managed to infiltrate the Heavenly Demon Sect, became an undercover agent, and even became a true disciple.

"Fellow Daoist, may I take a look at the token?" Yu Wanqing stretched out her hand, eagerly indicating that she wanted to see it.

Lu An then handed the token to Yu Wanqing, and the others also crowded around to examine the token in Yu Wanqing's hand.

The background image of the token is an eight-armed demon, and the two names, Lu An, are written in large letters on it.

Below is a small line of text: Heavenly Demon Peak Pass.

Then, looking at the back, there were three large characters written on it: "Li Po Dao" (离破道).

"Fellow Daoist, are you a true disciple of Li Podao?!" Everyone looked up and asked in utter astonishment.

“It’s me…” Lu An nodded.

It seems that as a true disciple of the Heavenly Demon Sect Master, he does have some reputation!

At this moment, Yu Wanqing couldn't help but feel a sense of panic.

The true disciple of the Heavenly Demon Sect was not only a traitor to the Heavenly Demon Sect, but also became his own guest.

What a cruel joke God played on her!

"Fellow Daoist, are you really Lu An?" Hong Xuanyun was even more surprised, so she asked cautiously.

If she remembered correctly, Lu An was the rising star of the Heavenly Demon Sect in recent years, a true disciple of the Breaking Dao lineage, and the one rumored to be a future giant of the demonic path.

The Righteous Alliance's spies within the Heavenly Demon Sect had already received the news, so they tried every means to find out about this newly promoted disciple of the Heavenly Demon Sect's sect leader, but to no avail.

They didn't even know his cultivation level or fighting style, because all the scouts said they had never seen Lu An make a move.

However, he achieved outstanding results in the previous sect competition, single-handedly defeating numerous disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect and winning first place.

Moreover, he survived the tribulation of the Nascent Soul stage and the Divine Transformation stage without a scratch.
