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

"Thank you for your help, fellow Daoist!"

"It's Elder Lu! Elder Lu!"

Once Xuan'er's attention shifted away from them, everyone saw Lu An and was overjoyed.

Zhao Ritian was among them and was even happier.

"Elder Zhao, is that someone from your sect?"

"A Celestial Master from the Yuan Tian Sacred Sect? He truly has the demeanor of a great sect!"

"With such a celestial master here, how can we fear that this scoundrel will not be destroyed?! Everyone, do not panic!"

The fox demon looked at Lu An warily, scanning him with her divine sense, but she couldn't see through his cultivation level.

So she wanted to test the waters, but Lu An, seeing this, quickly said, "You'd better not make any rash moves, or you'll be struck by lightning!"

Rumble!

The thunder perfectly complemented this statement, with rolling lightning hanging overhead, the power of the heavenly tribulation within it sending chills down everyone's spines.

But the one under the most pressure is the fox demon grandmother who has taken over Xuan'er's body.

"Who are you?"

“Lu An, of the Yuan Tian Holy Sect.”

The azure sword at Lu An's waist was instantly drawn, and it moved around Lu An with a kind of intelligence, emitting a soft sword hum.

"...It's actually a Heavenly Dao artifact... What level of strength do you possess!?"

Chapter Sixty-One: I can still leave you with a whole corpse!

If you don't know the strength of the opponent, you shouldn't make a move easily. If you want to live a long life, you need to know the opponent's backing.

However, this rule doesn't seem to apply well to the eight-tailed fox demon, because the relationship between humans and demons is inherently strained and difficult to reconcile.

There is a struggle between good and evil among humans, and there is also a struggle between humans and demons. Since ancient times, when humans obtained the power of cultivation and embarked on the path of cultivation, they could not avoid fighting with the demon race for territory.

After a powerful being led human cultivators in their practice and issued the slogan "Those who are not of our kind are sure to have different hearts," everyone's attitude towards the demon race became one of certain death.

Even now, the demon race has declined and can only barely survive. They dare not show their true identities to people, and even powerful demons in human form have to be careful.

Humans and transvestites are inherently different and could never be together. Some transvestite romances ultimately end in tragedy.

Whether they know who's behind it or not, they're probably going to get beaten up anyway.

But she needs to know just how powerful the people she's messed with are.

"I am Lu An, merely an ordinary elder of the Yuan Tian Sacred Sect." Lu An sneered, his azure sword radiating a chilling light: "Are you a great demon from Qingqiu? Dare to state your name?"

"Young man, you are not worthy to know your grandmother's name!"

The demon fox who called herself "Grandma" was surging with demonic energy, and in no time her aura had reached the Tribulation Transcending stage.

Seeing this, everyone closed their eyes and began to pray.

If I can get through this ordeal, I will definitely offer incense to the ancestral master when I get back! Thank you for the ancestral master's blessing!

Lu An did not neglect his cultivation during this period. Since advancing to the Golden Core stage, he has discovered that he has become somewhat extraordinary.

Not only could he summon the heavenly thunder, but arcs of lightning formed by tribulation lightning also appeared around him.

In most people's minds, being surrounded by blue tribulation lightning is a characteristic that only tribulation stage experts can possess!

Or perhaps only someone who has practiced lightning-based immortal techniques and possesses extremely high cultivation can have this condition!

Not all Tribulation Transcending stage experts possess lightning arcs, but this one does, so he must be extraordinary.

This is a new surprise in practicing Taishang Yuangong.

Good news! You now have a lightning-encircled effect around you.

The bad news is, it's just special effects; it doesn't actually have any offensive function.

"The lightning on you is tribulation lightning, and you're also in the Tribulation Transcending stage?"

Lu An did not answer, but just stared coldly at the old woman.

The fox spirit who called herself "Grandma" was now a little scared. She looked at the person in front of her with suspicion and some worry.

If it's the same as the Tribulation Transcending stage, then she has to be more cautious.

What if the other party manages to find their true identity?

But he couldn't let his granddaughter's grudge go unavenged, otherwise she would die with her eyes wide open in disbelief!

"Go Elder Lu!"

"Oh dear, it's said that Elder Lu is in the stage of undergoing tribulation, and it's true!"

"With Elder Lu of the Yuan Tian Sacred Sect here, how can we not destroy this demon?"

"You fiend, surrender at once! Or you will suffer an undeserved calamity!"

I don't know when, but those people suddenly put up a banner, and on the banner was his name.

The phrases "Lu An is invincible" and "Elder Lu is unparalleled" left Lu An completely bewildered.

Where did you put these banners up? Is there something wrong with the writing on them?

Professional cheerleading team, right?

Not only Lu An, but even the fox spirit grandmother felt embarrassed watching it.

Is this some kind of human quirk?

"Shut up!"

The shout made their eardrums ache, silencing them from their speech.

Upon seeing this, Lu An silently recited an incantation, and then sword shadows appeared behind him, accompanied by a powerful killing aura.

It seemed that anyone who got too close would be torn to pieces by the sword shadows.

"He's actually a sword cultivator..."

The fox spirit looked at Lu An and muttered to itself.

…………

Yu Wanqing and the elders had just stepped out of the Yuan Tian Sacred Sect when they suddenly felt a tremor in their hearts.

Looking up, she saw a beam of light appear on the horizon. In the blink of an eye, it was right in front of her, and then a ball of light entered her forehead.

Although Yu Wanqing's eyes were still a little blank, her expression became serious after only a few seconds.

A powerful demon undergoing tribulation! And a fox demon at that?! How could such a terrifying being exist in Heian City?!

Is Lu An already engaged in combat?

Without saying a word, she took off on her sword.

"Sect Master Yu, where are you going?"

Some people, seeing Yu Wanqing in such a hurry, asked in confusion.

"There is a powerful demon undergoing tribulation in Ping'an City. Our sect elders are already exorcising the demon. I need to provide support as soon as possible!"

Yu Wanqing uttered those words and then vanished into the horizon as a streak of light.

Upon hearing this, the others looked at each other in confusion, then seemed to realize something and hurriedly followed on their swords.

A powerful demon undergoing tribulation! This is a big one! I have to go with it!

Several streaks of light followed Yu Wanqing and disappeared into the horizon.

…………

Lu An is under a lot of pressure; he doesn't know when Yu Wanqing will arrive.

Although the fox demon opposite him hadn't attacked yet, Lu An felt that he wouldn't be able to hold out for much longer.

They rely entirely on their aura and special effects to scare the monsters, but they themselves are scared half to death first.

Once you're exposed, you'll have to be reincarnated. Be careful next time.

Grandma was also puzzled, wondering why the person in front of her was hesitating to make a move.

What on earth is he waiting for?

"Human, what are you waiting for?! Why don't you make a move?!" Grandma asked angrily.

This feeling is so unbearable, like having an axe on your neck, the fear and discomfort of not knowing when it will fall.

Unfathomable strength, special effects similar to those of a Tribulation Transcending stage cultivator—how could we possibly encounter such a formidable opponent here?

Lu An did his best to maintain that aloof and fierce expression, as if a single glance could send chills down one's spine.

"Why should I strike first? Why don't you strike first?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu An regretted it.

Isn't this just asking her to hit me? How could she be so shameless?

However, Grandma did not take any action; instead, she became even more vigilant.

This human was full of flaws, but she knew he was definitely not as simple as he seemed.

If she's full of flaws, then she's not a flaw. She's not stupid; she knows there's a saying in cultivation: "Returning to simplicity and authenticity."

The higher one's cultivation level, the less pretentious they are, because they often have absolute confidence that they can severely injure or kill their enemies with a single blow!

The person before me must be the same.

Grandma wanted to escape because if the situation was unclear, it would be better to escape first.

As for the revenge for my granddaughter's murder, I'll take it later.

That bald monk who ran away was ruthless; I don't know what Buddhist artifact he used, but we couldn't even detect his soul.

Wait, what if that bald monk comes back to kill us?

If we're caught between a rock and a hard place, forget about revenge; we'll probably lose a couple of pieces of flesh here too.

Just as I was thinking this, a majestic and ethereal Buddhist chant came from within.

Immediately afterwards, a huge hand slammed down on the barrier that the fox demon had created.

Rumble!

boom!

This was a devastating earthquake, leaving a deep, gaping hole outside the barrier.

"Who is it?!" Grandma shouted angrily.

"It is this humble monk!"

A monk dressed in a kasaya appeared in the air, followed by a group of monks.

Baldy calls out to Baldy, if he can't beat someone, he calls for backup.

Upon seeing this, Lu An was instantly excited.

That stinky monk actually came back to help!

"Kukai, is this the great demon you spoke of who has transcended tribulation?"

This is a round-faced abbot with white eyebrows above his eyes, wearing a golden-red kasaya, surrounded by a halo of Buddha.

"Yes, Abbot! It's her!" The monk nodded, then shouted, "Abbot Fahuo of Lingyun Temple has arrived! You fiend, surrender now..."

Whoosh!

A streak of fire flew swiftly towards the barrier, and upon reaching it, it shattered a crack in the barrier, leaving everyone who saw it astonished.

"Kukai, why are you wasting your breath talking to her?" The abbot, holding an RPG and wearing sunglasses (who had appeared out of nowhere), said, "After all these years in the underworld, have you forgotten how we used to do things?"

"Gentlemen, draw your weapons and let's fight!"

Crash! Snap!

Under Lu An's astonished and speechless gaze, the monks in the sky took out various firearms, resembling a modern army that had crossed over into this place.

"Amitabha, benefactor, if you offer up the demon core now, this old monk may still spare your whole corpse!"
