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

No, if you want to die, then don't drag me down with you, okay?

I haven't even said anything yet, why have you all spoken for me first?

“We were once fellow disciples, actually I…” Lu An wanted to explain, but the others didn’t seem to be giving him a chance.

"Elder Lu repelled the tribulation-transcending demon, so dealing with you is still a piece of cake, isn't it?"

"Witch, you tried to ambush our flying boat today, but unfortunately Elder Lu is here. You're definitely not coming back alive!"

Master Jia became even more arrogant: "Witch, with me here, you won't even be able to touch the flying boat! Besides, Elder Lu is here too! You're not leaving here alive today!"

Everyone took turns speaking for Lu An, so Lu An couldn't speak even if he wanted to.

Some people got so excited that they even took out their longswords and brandished them a couple of times, but they all did so from behind Lu An.

The story of the fox borrowing the tiger's power comes vividly to life on the flying boat.

"Elder Lu, what are you waiting for! Quickly take action and annihilate this demonic witch!"

"Yes, Elder Lu, we've been waiting for you!"

"Elder Lu, the sword intent of eternity, a single sword strike annihilates heaven and earth!"

Lu An didn't want to talk anymore.

Don't let my imagination run wild! What kind of attack, what kind of eternal sword intent? That's too much for a mere Golden Core cultivator like me!

Okay, okay, you're forcing me to act, aren't you?

“Lu An, considering our brotherhood as fellow disciples, if you repent and turn to the demonic path, I am willing to plead with our master for your life!” Zhao Mengyuan said calmly.

You insist on making me act, huh? Fine, fine, I don't care anymore!

With Elder Jia here and Senior Sister knowing I'm an undercover agent, I don't believe you'd dare come!

"Hahaha, Senior Sister, do you think that's possible?" Lu An unleashed his full aura and sneered, "I have already pledged allegiance to the Yuan Tian Sacred Sect and become an inner sect elder. How could I possibly betray the Yuan Tian Sacred Sect!?"

An Xu angrily rebuked, "Lu An, stop being so hypocritical! Didn't you betray the Heavenly Demon Sect? You betrayed Sect Master Li! You ungrateful bastard! And you still say you won't betray the Yuan Tian Holy Sect?!"

"In my opinion, you will betray the Yuan Tian Holy Sect sooner or later! You have enormous ambitions! You would betray it even after becoming a true disciple. You are a two-faced scoundrel!"

The disciples of the flying boat looked at Lu An and were immediately filled with fear.

That's right. Lu An even betrayed the sect after becoming a true disciple of the Breaking Dao Sect. So, it's only a matter of time before he betrays the Yuan Tian Holy Sect.

For a moment, even Jia Daoshi was a little scared.

After all, what the elder of the Heavenly Demon Sect said did make sense.

Lu An, however, remained completely unfazed and calmly replied, "You say I betrayed the Heavenly Demon Sect, that's true, but I have never betrayed myself!"

Everyone was stunned.

"Back then, my family was slaughtered and plundered by the people of the Heavenly Demon Sect. In order to avenge them, I joined the Heavenly Demon Sect, endured humiliation and hardship, and became a disciple of the Heavenly Demon Sect. Later, I became a true disciple of the Heavenly Demon Sect who broke through the Dao. Why?! It was all for revenge!"

"My heart is on the righteous path. I only joined the Heavenly Demon Sect to conceal my true intentions. Although I failed to assassinate that old thief, I have no shame in my righteousness or in my conscience! The reason I am changing my ways now is simply to..." Lu An raised his head, looking righteous and awe-inspiring: "Uphold the path in my heart! Never forget my original aspiration, and always remember my mission!"

Lu An's words caused an uproar in the audience.

All the righteous people present were deeply moved.

"You lowly demonic scoundrels are nothing but trash! I'll spare your lives out of consideration for our past as fellow disciples!" Lu An coldly pointed, his aura overwhelming. "But this is a one-time thing! If you come again, I will surely kill you!"

A gust of wind blew by, lifting Lu An's hair, robes, and hem, making him look quite imposing.

"Why are you casting a wind magic spell?"

"I feel that Elder Lu will appear more imposing this way!"

"It seems that it really is..."

Another disciple also cast the Wind God Spell, and Lu An's aura instantly surged even higher.

Thank you to the two atmosphere-creating teams for creating this atmosphere.

An Xu was furious, but there was nothing he could do, so he could only utter harsh words: "Lu An, you will die a horrible death...!"

Lu An, however, was not afraid at all. Instead, he retorted, "Elder An, it was my fault for not killing you when I left. You should be careful when you sleep or walk at night in the future, lest your head suddenly roll off your head!"

As soon as Lu An uttered those words, An Xu felt a chill run down his neck, and a vision of his own head falling to the ground seemed to flash before his eyes.

He subconsciously touched his neck.

Thankfully, my neck is still there, and I'm fine.

Lu An noticed An Xu's subtle actions and couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.

It seems I actually fooled this guy.

"Senior sister, don't take another step forward. We've already embarked on different paths. If you dare to draw your sword, I will show no mercy!"

Lu An held the Azure Sword in his hand. As if it understood his will, the Azure Sword shimmered with bursts of azure light, and the surrounding area echoed with faint sword sounds, like the low roar of a fierce tiger.

Lu An discovered that this sword was a very cooperative teammate, always able to provide a response at crucial moments, which made people very afraid of it.

It's true that clothes make the man and a saddle makes the horse; to show off, you need the right equipment.

Zhao Mengyuan's face turned ugly: "Lu An, you really have no mercy..."

Lu An resolutely said, "We are now on two different paths; good and evil cannot coexist. Why show mercy?"

If Zhao Mengyuan hadn't known that Lu An was just a spy sent by her master, she probably would have really thought that this guy had broken ties with her.

This feeling is really unpleasant.

But this is good, only in this way can those who follow the righteous path believe that he has truly pledged allegiance to the righteous path.

Turning a fake into a real one, and making it more and more real, that's the professional quality of an undercover agent!

Junior brother, you've really gone through a lot, enduring humiliation and going against your own conscience, all for the sake of the great cause of infiltration!

Seeing Lu An's resolute expression, Elder Anxu couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, this boy is too arrogant. Let's join forces and defeat him!"

Hearing Elder Anxu's suggestion, Zhao Mengyuan shook her head: "Join forces? What do you think our chances of defeating Lu An are if we join forces?"

Chapter 85 The Advantage Lies with Us!

Upon hearing this, An Xu's heart skipped a beat.

He then looked at Lu An again, his divine sense sweeping over the flying boat.

Although the restrictive array on the flying boat prevented the detection of everyone's cultivation level, Elder Anxu still discovered that the strongest person on the flying boat was only at the eighth level of the Void Refinement stage.

However, given the magical array restrictions on the flying boat, even someone at the eighth level of the Void Refinement Realm might not be able to break through the restrictions, let alone capture Lu An.

Lu An's cultivation level was currently undetectable, and coupled with the previous rumors about Lu An, he couldn't help but worry.

Based on the previous rumors of repelling the Ancient Thunder Dragon, Lu An's strength must be extremely high. The demon race is always more sensitive to danger than human cultivators.

If that were the case, even with Zhao Mengyuan present, An Xu wouldn't dare say he was confident he could take down Lu An.

But if we could get Yu Yuanxu to gang up on us...

Three people who have passed the first and second levels of tribulation should be able to put up a fight, right?

"Your Highness, why don't we join forces with Yu Yuanxu to defeat Yu Wanqing, and then turn around..."

Elder Anxu opened his palm, then clenched it, his eyes flashing a frantic hint.

“Elder An, defeating Lu An is impossible. He has been biding his time for many years, and his strength is mysterious and cannot be easily fathomed.” Zhao Mengyuan shook her head: “But we can defeat Yu Wanqing.”

At that moment, Zhao Mengyuan suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

Lu An is standing here without attacking us, saying he'll let us go. Does that mean he wants us to deal with Yu Wanqing?

Yu Wanqing is the vice sect leader of Yuantian Holy Sect and the vice alliance leader of the Righteous Path Alliance. She is not on the flying boat. If we want to kill her, now is an excellent opportunity.

Once Yu Wanqing is killed, the righteous path will inevitably suffer a severe blow!

With three cultivators facing off against Yu Wanqing, she was doomed!

Three against one, the advantage is on our side!

As expected of my junior brother, he had already thought of this.

Zhao Mengyuan instantly developed a deep respect for Lu An.

As expected of Junior Brother Lu! He even thought of that; his mind is truly meticulous! It seems this is why Master chose him as an undercover agent!

Then I should hurry up to the heavens and kill Yu Wanqing!

But soon, she sensed that Yu Zhengxu's presence in the sky was rapidly weakening, and that he was about to perish.

Could it be?

Zhao Mengyuan quickly turned her head to look at the sky and found that Yu Zhengxu was already seriously injured, while Yu Wanqing was surrounded by Daoist aura, sword energy overflowed, and flowing light flashed, as if a god of death had appeared in the world.

"This madman is already using the Heavenly Favor for the Imperfect?"

Zhao Mengyuan frowned, her heart filled with mixed feelings of sorrow and joy.

This old guy actually couldn't hold on any longer.

But Yu Wanqing actually won!

"What is this?! Sword energy is surging wildly within my body? Damn it! What kind of move is this?!"

Yu Zhengxu summoned the evil energy within his body to suppress the sword energy, but the evil energy seemed to have gained sentience and fled outwards like a madman.

Soon, he would be unable to suppress the sword energy within his body.

Although the move carried a sharp killing intent, it was not particularly powerful, so Yu Zhengxu did not take it seriously.

He initially thought it was just an illusion, and that it was just an ordinary sword move. But after it hit him, the sword energy actually surged wildly within his body.

"Yuxu..."

Yu Zhengxu wanted to escape, but he suddenly felt a sense of crisis, as a sharp sword intent locked onto him in an instant.

There's no escaping him! That was his first thought.

Even if he breaks through the void now, he can't escape. Besides, he has just advanced to the Tribulation Transcending stage and is not very skilled at breaking through the void.

I thought I could at least fight Yu Wanqing to a draw, or at the very least, escape, but now it seems I'm going to lose my life here.

brush!

The sharp sword energy emitted a piercing sword cry, just like the sound of a judge's gavel falling, and the surrounding void was distorted by this sword energy.

"I'm doomed!" These were Yu Zhengxu's last thoughts.

Bang!

A loud clang of metal striking metal rang out, and the killing intent behind him vanished instantly.

"Zhao Mengyuan... no, Your Highness...?"

Yu Zhengxu stared in shock at the woman blocking his way.

"What are you standing there for? Get away if you don't want to die!"

Zhao Mengyuan replied coldly, without even turning around to look at him.

Yu Zhengxu gritted his teeth, then quickly vanished into thin air.

The two women stood in the void, and the killing intent in the air almost rose to the point of being tangible.

"Finally out? Zhao Mengyuan?"

"Long time no see, Yu Wanqing. It seems you didn't reach the Tribulation Transcending stage by taking drugs. You do have some skill."

"Hmph, I heard you only recently reached the Tribulation Transcending stage. Your cultivation level isn't even stable yet, is it?"

"You are welcome to try and see just how high my level of attainment is."

The long sword in Zhao Mengyuan's hand exuded a killing intent. Although she had only recently advanced to the Tribulation Transcending stage, her aura was in no way inferior to Yu Wanqing's.

Yu Wanqing tried to calm her chaotic internal energy as she tried to regulate her breathing, but Zhao Mengyuan suddenly drew her sword and arrived in front of Yu Wanqing in the blink of an eye.

Bang!

The two clashed, instantly distorting the surrounding space. A piercing sound of air being torn apart rang out, and countless sword shadows rose up, seemingly ready to tear everything apart.

The longsword thrust out with the force of a tiger's roar and a dragon's cry.

Although she was a woman, she possessed the power to shatter the heavens.
