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

Upon hearing this, the disciples who remained behind were all relieved.

If we stay with Elder Lu to guard the flying boat, won't we be safe?

The blood and evil energy in that Cloud Medicine Valley is so dense, and there are even tribulation lightning for those who have passed the Tribulation stage. It would be too dangerous to go in. Staying home is the safest option!

With Elder Lu, who is powerful enough to repel the Ancient Thunder Dragon, we're in a sure thing!

The entire crew of slackers were instantly overjoyed!

"Elder Lu, take care!"

"Sect Master Yu, take care!"

Chapter 83 The target is the airship!

If you got your position by coasting along and spend your days slacking off and joking around, what should you do?

Jia Daoshi was just that kind of person.

As one of the inner elders of the Yuantian Holy Sect and the twenty-seventh ranked expert in the Righteous Path Alliance, he is known as Master Jia Yun.

Although his strength is at the eighth level of the Void Refinement stage, his moves are mostly special effects, and most of them are turtle shell moves. They can protect himself and even withstand a full-force attack from a Tribulation Transcending stage expert, but they are not necessarily able to defeat the enemy.

Moreover, there are beings at the Tribulation Transcending stage in Yunyao Valley, and their malevolent aura is so strong that they are clearly not to be trifled with.

Therefore, he needed to stay on the flying boat and use its magic array to sneak down.

However, it was obviously risky for him to be the only inner sect elder guarding the flying boat. If the flying boat were to be seized, he would lose face even if he survived.

But Yu Wanqing and Lu An brought him another surprise: Lu An stayed behind to guard the flying boat with him.

Although Lu An is young and not ranked on the Righteous Alliance's leaderboard, his strength is beyond doubt!

If he were to encounter a powerful demon undergoing tribulation, he would have wet his pants in fear long ago. Instead, he's still fighting. What a joke!

With Lu An guarding the flying boat, this round is practically won! Hahahaha!

As Yu Wanqing led a group of people away, Lu An looked around at the others on the flying boat.

If we're talking about powerful elders, there's only one old man who looks like a hermit, probably at the Void Refinement stage. He looks very composed, so he's probably a very strong guy.

I haven't heard much about him, but to be brought out on a mission, and to be an inner sect elder of the Yuan Tian Sheng Sect, he must be an extraordinary person!

A slacker like him is bound to get accidentally injured in the aftermath of a fight between the big shots during a mission. Even if he doesn't get hurt, it's not worth getting scared!

Being on the same airship as this elder means we're in luck!

It's like heaven is helping me! Just when I wanted to sleep, someone brought me a pillow!

"Elder Jia, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you this time."

"No, no, no, Elder Lu will have to work hard!"

The two men bowed to each other, their smiles sly and cunning.

Both of them couldn't help but think that being with him meant a sure win!

The disciples on the surrounding flying boats felt reassured as they watched the two of them.

There's no need to venture deep into Cloud Medicine Valley. With two elders guarding the flying boat—one a top-ranked elder of the Righteous Alliance, number twenty-seven, and the other the uncrowned king, Lu An—this should be a sure thing for a spiral takeoff.

Sect Master Yu is truly considerate of his subordinates who guard the flying boat!

This is it! It's in the bag!

Just as everyone on the flying boat was immersed in the atmosphere of things being stable, two powerful auras of tribulation suddenly appeared.

Two streaks of light of different colors shot out rapidly from above Cloud Medicine Valley and then disappeared into the clouds.

Two streaks of light appeared repeatedly in the clouds, then disappeared back into the clouds, reappeared, collided, and then their figures were revealed.

Countless streaks of light flashed in the air, and the void was torn open by a powerful force, revealing mysterious spaces.

"As expected of the Vice Sect Master of Yuantian Holy Sect, Yu Wanqing, you do have some strength!"

Elder Yu, dressed in black, was surrounded by a powerful aura of bloodlust, and the aura of the tribulation lightning he had just been struck by had not yet dissipated.

"You demonic sorcerer, you slaughtered my righteous disciples and used evil methods to enhance your cultivation! You deserve to die a thousand deaths!"

Yu Wanqing exuded a chilling aura, whether from the power of her martial arts technique or the coldness of her swordsmanship was unknown.

"Every man for himself! It is their good fortune to help me overcome this tribulation today!"

Several dark shadows sprang from Elder Yu's body, then transformed into black ghostly spirits and attacked Yu Wanqing.

Sheathing her longsword, Yu Wanqing drew her sword with a single thought and unleashed a fierce burst of sword energy, instantly annihilating all the ghosts and vengeful spirits.

"Jade Void Heavenly Sword, slay demons and vanquish evil!"

The flying sword hovered behind Yu Wanqing, then merged into a ring of flying swords, radiating an incomparably sharp sword intent and killing aura.

The next moment, countless flying swords flew towards Elder Yu, like a pack of hungry wolves.

The flying swords seemed to possess sentience; if they missed their target, they would fly away and return, accumulating potential energy through speed, like a well-trained cavalry, flanking and attacking the elders.

when!when!when!

Seeing that he was no match for her, Elder Yu also used his blood-fiend energy to condense countless dark red flying swords to protect himself, which collided with Yu Wanqing's flying swords.

The battle between the powerful beings undergoing tribulation was so intense that each move tore through the void, resonating with the Heavenly Dao and causing lightning to flash.

The flying swords resembled two heavenly soldiers battling each other, or dragons fighting.

As everyone watched this scene, enjoying this visual feast that only those who had transcended tribulation could experience, their envy was evident in their words and actions.

Is this the battle between powerful cultivators who have transcended tribulation? They truly deserve to be called the top combat force in the cultivation world.

Even those who are just starting out are far beyond what they can compare to.

On the other side, Lu An and Jia Daoshi sat on the deck, with drinks and snacks on a small table, wearing sunglasses and looking quite relaxed.

"Elder Lu, would you like a glass of coconut juice?"

"Oh, good, good, this coconut juice is so delicious!"

"I'm best at making chicken soup. How about I treat Elder Lu to some chicken soup next time?"

"That's wonderful! The chicken soup is delicious!"

The two clinked their glasses, causing a slight spill of coconut juice, before drinking it down in one gulp.

In the sky were Yu Wanqing and some unknown demonic cultivator fighting. Lu An had never seen them before, so he just watched the show.

Meanwhile, in the sky on the other side, Zhao Mengyuan floated in the air, coldly watching everything before her.

Although Yu Yuanxu absorbed the cultivation of others and leaped to the Tribulation Transcending stage in one fell swoop, his experience was obviously still insufficient. Even if the bloodthirsty aura could suppress Yu Wanqing for a while, it certainly wouldn't be able to suppress her for long.

"Your Highness, what is the purpose of the Hidden Fiend Sect inviting Yu Yuanxu?"

Zhao Mengyuan sneered: "They want to use our reputation, but they don't want to share their goods with us. This Hidden Fiend Sect has broken the rules."

Elder Anxu asked, "Then what do we do?"

Zhao Mengyuan sneered: "Let him fight with Yu Wanqing first, they both deserve to die anyway!"

Elder Anxu: "By the way, a scout just reported that the Yuantian Sacred Sect's flying boat is parked on the outskirts of the valley. There are very few people on board, so they are probably all outside."

"really?"

"Absolutely true!"

"You all stay here, I'll go on my way!"

So Zhao Mengyuan and An Xu, along with several disciples, sped off at top speed, their target the hovering flying boat of the Yuan Tian Holy Sect.

At this very moment, on the airship, the two were still eating chicken legs that had appeared out of nowhere, thoroughly enjoying themselves.

Some people fight to the death in the sky, while others enjoy the bliss of life at home in the fountain.

"Someone is coming this way!"

On the flying boat, a disciple suddenly shouted, startling the two who jumped up from their reclining chairs.

It was as if he had been jolted awake from a near-death experience.

"They are... at the Tribulation Transcending stage... and there are two of them!"

The two panicked even more, but they still tried to remain calm.

Don't panic, Elder Lu (Jia) is here for you!

The two instantly understood each other and smiled silently.

"Elder Lu, can you help me?"

Jia Daoshi activated the protective shield on the flying boat. Combined with his cultivation technique, this shield could withstand a full-force attack from a Tribulation Transcending stage cultivator, and not just once!

"Don't worry, Elder Jia, I'll take care of everything!"

Lu An picked up his longsword and stood at the bow of the flying boat.

With Elder Jia Daoshi protecting him, wouldn't his act of showing off be a sure thing?

With Elder Lu An protecting him, wouldn't he be able to secure the flying boat?

With the cooperation of the two elders, we'll be able to hold our own, right?

With this protective shield in place, the evil forces of the demonic path are nothing to fear!

Let Lu An have his moment of glory!

Just as Lu An was about to show off his azure sword with great pride, a familiar figure came into his view.

"Big...Senior Sister!?"

Chapter 84 Lu An, who never forgets his original aspiration

A familiar figure sped towards them, and Lu An was instantly stunned.

Isn't this Zhao Mengyuan, the senior sister of the Heavenly Demon Sect? What's she doing here?

Zhao Mengyuan was also stunned. Wasn't this her junior brother?

I was just sneaking into someone's base, and here I am, my junior brother is guarding it.

No, you stole from your own people, didn't you?

Zhao Mengyuan stopped, but Elder Anxu and a group of Heavenly Demon Sect disciples beside her were puzzled.

Lu An also put down his Azure Sword and became tense.

Is that such a coincidence?

"Could that person on the flying boat be the traitor Lu An?"

An Xu recognized him at a glance, but still asked in disbelief.

Zhao Mengyuan nodded and replied, "That's right, it's him."

All the disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect gasped in shock, never expecting that the traitor was actually still alive.

Oh my god, this is really oh my god!

With Lu An here, they are now launching a surprise attack on the Yuan Tian Sheng Zong's flying boat. Whether they can succeed is uncertain.

An Xu asked, "Your Highness, what should we do now?"

Zhao Mengyuan swiftly flew forward, stopping in front of the flying boat. Pointing her sword at the boat, she said, "Junior Brother Lu, considering we are from the same sect, since you've opened the barrier, I won't fight you. How about it?"

Not going to fight me? What a stroke of good luck!

Alright, alright. Anyway, he's just here to coast along, and he's an undercover agent, so it's good that we don't have to fight!

He's not crazy enough to be fighting a tribulation at the Golden Core stage.

Okay, okay, let's find a reason to run away first, a reason that's both respectable and won't make us look like we're backing down.

Just as Lu An was about to reply, Jia Daoshi preemptively said, "Our Elder Lu has already pledged allegiance to the righteous path and is irreconcilably at odds with your Heavenly Demon Sect. How could he possibly desert in the face of battle?!"

"That's right, don't think we're afraid just because you're the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Demon Sect. We have Elder Lu, so wiping you out will be a piece of cake!"

One of the disciples had already recognized Zhao Mengyuan's identity and made a series of boastful remarks before turning to look at Lu An and saying, "Right, Elder Lu!?"

Lu An's face darkened instantly.
