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

"Elder Lu, you've worked hard!"

"It's no trouble at all, I'm just here to serve my fellow Daoists."

Along the way, many people greeted Lu An, but the fear in their eyes was also obvious.

Originally, Lu An was quite handsome, and some female disciples liked him quite a bit, even considering him as a potential dream lover...or a backup?

But when they saw the scars on Lu An's face, they instantly became frightened.

Is this fierce-looking, strange older brother Elder Lu?

His once handsome smile and frown now appeared so... vicious, brutal, cold, and ruthless?

A person chatting and laughing with their companion suddenly bumped into a broad chest and stopped in their tracks.

"Oh dear, I'm so sorry, fellow Daoist, I didn't mean to..."

The man looked up and saw a cold and violent face with a scar over its eye.

His smiling face instantly turned terrified.

Lu An said nonchalantly, "It's nothing, just be more careful next time..."

thump!

Lu An was about to turn and leave when the man suddenly knelt down on the ground, trembling.

"Elder Lu, I didn't mean to! Please don't kill me! I don't want to be reborn so soon!"

Lu An was stunned, everyone else was stunned, and even the passersby were stunned.

But the most confused person was Lu An. What next life? Did he say that? Didn't he say that he would just be more careful next time?

That's terrifying! Elder Lu actually told him to be careful in his next life.

He didn't do anything, he just bumped into something, and now he's supposed to be more careful in his next life?

"This Daoist... no, this disciple, are you sure you heard me correctly?"

Lu An investigated the man's strength and discovered that he was actually a Nascent Soul stage expert.

Well, because of this scar that makes him look fierce, he misunderstood everything he said?

That's pretty magical...

After the explanation was given, the disciple left trembling, glancing back at him every now and then.

Feeling a little guilty, Lu An turned back and gave him a smile. But the smile startled him so much that he immediately quickened his pace and left.

Lu An was immediately puzzled. Did he look that scary?

"Wang Wang Wang!"

A dog came excitedly from around the corner, head held high, bone in its mouth, strutting along proudly.

But when it saw Lu An, it stopped in its tracks.

Lu An also stopped in his tracks.

Soon, the dog's expression changed from happy to confused to surprised to terrified. Then it dropped the bone it was holding in its mouth, turned around, and barked as it ran away.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

Watching the dog turn around and quickly leave while barking, Lu An was even more speechless.

Am I really that hated by everyone?

Lu An arrived at the deck of the flying boat.

The female disciple... quickly ran away.

The male disciple... quickly ran away.

The spirit pets kept by the disciples on the flying boat ran away instantly upon seeing Lu An.

After watching the human and beast that had already left dozens of meters away from him, Lu An didn't know what to say.

Do I... look that scary?

What? You have a passive skill now?

"Elder Lu, Sect Master Yu has summoned you..."

A disciple ran over, trying to call out to Lu An, but when Lu An turned around, the smile on his face vanished instantly.

This is... Elder Lu?

Who is this guy with the scar on his right eye and that fierce-looking face?! Who is he?!

"You are……?"

"I am Lu An. Sect Master Yu, are you looking for me?"

"Yes, it is……"

"Okay, thank you for your hard work. Let's go."

Lu An waved, signaling to lead the way.

The disciple led Lu An to Yu Wanqing's room, but for some reason, he always felt a faint chill coming from behind him.

The disciples nearby looked at Lu An following behind that disciple and couldn't help but whisper among themselves.

Did he do something wrong?

"No, isn't Senior Brother Chen Weian always an outstanding disciple of the Chuanxin Hall?"

"Then why is he being held captive by this fierce-looking man? Is he the new elder of the Enforcement Hall?"

"The newly appointed elder of the Enforcement Hall? No, he's Elder Lu, the newly promoted inner sect elder! The kind who has his own peak and cave dwelling!"

Everyone was stunned, and immediately began to discuss among themselves.

"Elder Lu? That shouldn't be the case. He seems to have a very refined appearance."

"Yes, what happened to that scar on him?"

"You don't know this, but Elder Lu had a fight with Zhao Mengyuan, the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Demon Sect. That's how he got the scar on his face!"

"That witch's cultivation is so strong? She was actually able to leave a scar on Elder Lu's face?"

"Sigh, Elder Lu went easy on us! Actually, Elder Lu wanted to..."

The crowd chattered and made Lu An feel very uncomfortable.

Even a fool could tell that these people were talking about him, right?

Upon arriving at Yu Wanqing's room, before Lu An could even get a good look at her boudoir on the flying boat, Yu Wanqing rushed to his side, pulled him to a chair, and made him sit down.

"Elder Lu, you've worked hard. It's like this, I've spoken with the sect leader, and there are some things I'd like to discuss with you."

Lu An leaned back lazily in his chair and asked, "Did you speak with Shen Xuzi? What did you talk about?"

"Your matter has already spread throughout the Yuan Tian Holy Sect. I wonder if Elder Lu has any intention of joining the Righteous Path Alliance?"

Lu An immediately sat up straight in his chair, seemingly intrigued.

Hehe, I've finally heard that line: Righteous Alliance, a new direction for switching jobs, the initial target of the undercover operation.

"The Righteous Path Alliance? Sect Master Yu intends to recommend me to join the Righteous Path Alliance?"

"Yes, but it's much harder to get into the Righteous Path Alliance than into our Yuan Tian Holy Sect. The sect leader and I can only recommend you. Whether you can get in depends on the alliance's evaluation and Elder Lu's own decision."

"Sect Leader Yu, there's no need to worry. I'm wholeheartedly devoted to the righteous path, just like the infiltrator of the Heavenly Demon Sect. Joining this alliance is also for the sake of the common people and all living beings." Lu An patted his chest and said, "When can I join the Righteous Path Alliance? Do I need a resume? Do I need to submit my resume?"

“I will naturally find a way when we get back, but there is one more thing I need to tell you.”

"What's the matter?"

"Elder Ji of the Enforcement Hall has suffered a cultivation deviation and is temporarily unable to attend court. The sect is currently short-handed, so I have arranged for you to take over."

"You've assigned me to that position? To the Enforcement Hall?"

"Yes, who is more suitable for this position than Elder Lu?"

Chapter 89 Substitute Elder Lu An

Who is more suitable to be an elder of the Enforcement Hall than Elder Lu?

The phrase lingered in Lu An's mind, and he expressed his utter incomprehension.

No, how did I become considered suitable to be an elder of the Enforcement Hall? The affairs of the Enforcement Hall have absolutely nothing to do with me, do they?

Back in the Heavenly Demon Sect, I, Lu An, didn't care about this either.

Moreover, Lu An was a key target of supervision by the elders of the Heavenly Demon Sect's Law Enforcement Hall. For example, during the Heavenly Demon Sect's curfew, he would go out in the middle of the night to seek thrills with his senior and junior sisters by flying on swords, and occasionally steal spiritual plants.

He was an innocent nobody, at most someone who was thought to be Zhao Mengyuan's lapdog, but now he has become the substitute elder of the Law Enforcement Hall. What's going on?

Lu An didn't know, but it wouldn't matter if he did, since these people were just... making things up for him.

Lu An pondered for a moment, then asked in confusion, "Why were I assigned a position in the Enforcement Hall? Even if there's a shortage of manpower, shouldn't I be the one there?"

Yu Wanqing explained, "The Enforcement Hall is a very difficult place. Not only do you need to have enough strength to suppress the disciples of the Enforcement Hall, but you also need to have a very high reputation and prestige. There are very few people in our sect who meet these conditions."

Lu An was taken aback: "But Sect Master Yu, I'm not that kind of person. I just joined the sect, how can I have any reputation or prestige?"

Yu Wanqing smiled and shook her head: "Elder Lu, you don't know this, but you already have a very high reputation in our sect. Although people are not familiar with you yet, your deeds are enough to support you."

Lu An remained silent for a long time before saying, "Sect Master Yu, I don't think I'm suitable. It's like this, you think I'm suitable for the Enforcement Hall, but actually I'm not that kind of person. You still have a good eye for people..."

Looking at Lu An, who had been silent for a long time, Yu Wanqing said calmly, "Add ten top-grade spirit stones and go back to arrange your cave dwelling."

After saying that, Yu Wanqing tossed a bag of spirit stones that clattered loudly to Lu An.

Lu An opened the bag, looked at the spirit stones inside, and remained silent for a long time.

Then he smiled and said, "Sect Master Yu, I knew it was you! You have a keen eye for people!"

Yu Wanqing nodded in satisfaction; she had a general understanding of Lu An.

A brave, fearless, patient, and loyal man! A good man!

Although he is a bit greedy, it's not a major flaw. Cultivators need to compete for resources, so they value what cultivation benefits they can gain. This is not a problem.

The most important thing on the path of cultivation, besides talent, is resources. Without good resources, even the best talent is useless.

If you're paid well, you'll work; Lu An is a good elder!

This is much better than those elders who just collect salaries without working and rely on their seniority!

Yu Wanqing thought about those disrespectful scoundrels and felt truly ashamed of them!

The flying boat passed through the sea of ​​clouds, and Lu An sat in meditation in his room, trying to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

The flying boat has a spirit-gathering array, which is used to maintain the operation of the flying boat and is also very beneficial to flight, so he wanted to take this opportunity to cultivate.

Otherwise, staying at the fourth level of the Golden Core stage isn't a good thing.

However, based on his many years of cultivation experience, he knew that simply condensing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was ineffective, so he also needed to…

Lu An placed the pills from his storage ring on the table, put his hands on his hips, and looked very confident.

I refuse to believe it! How can I not break through to the fifth level of the Golden Core stage this way?!

So Lu An twisted open the medicine bottle, poured out the pills inside, and began to take them.

"Spiritual Energy Pill, Yuan Energy Pill, Great Strength Pill, Golden Core Quick-Boosting Pill..."

"Xiao Family Qi-Gathering Pills, Bai Family Foundation-Building Pills, Eight-Ingredient Rehmannia Pills, Six-Seed Progeny-Promoting Pills..."

Lu An consumed various spiritual medicines, focusing on large quantities to satisfy his hunger. He took any pill that could improve his cultivation, regardless of its type.

Countless streams of spiritual energy and medicinal power surged from Lu An's abdomen. Lu An's golden core transformed into a greedy beast, constantly absorbing the spiritual energy and medicinal power within the pill.

However, this giant beast seemed to be unable to get enough to eat, eating one grain after another, little by little, eating a lot, but still not feeling full.

Until later, he released one...

puff……

A long and profound fart.

It's been sitting for a while, but why don't I think it smells bad?

Lu An opened the door, and a yellowish-brown gas instantly poured out, filling the entire airship corridor.
