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

It is said that in ancient times, one had to make an appointment and wait in line to ascend to heaven, lest the ascension passage be full and one be kicked down by the Heavenly Dao to repair oneself.

If you've blocked the way, have some self-awareness and get out of there, don't block the way.

"Because he is too talented and has too many opportunities. Besides, haven't you heard of turning pressure into motivation?" Shen Yanzi earnestly instructed.

The boy understood immediately.

Even a devoted simp, driven by unwavering devotion, can reach the realm of transcendence.

In the end, a devoted admirer who relentlessly pursues their love will have everything except the person they love.

The simp's affection is all-encompassing.

"What will happen to Sword Immortal Xia after he emerges from seclusion this time?"

"I don't know..."

"I don't know...?"

"Nonsense! Do you think I can read your mind? I can't possibly deduce the ninth level of the Tribulation Realm! Hurry up and get my clothes ready! I need to change for a business trip!"

"Ahhh, Dao Ancestor, are you wearing those clothes again this time?"

"No, bring me the robes from the Western cultivation world, the one with the short skirt, the one with the all-white outfit..."

The boy suddenly realized, "Ah, I know, JK uniform!"

Shen Yanzi slapped his thigh and said, "Yes, yes, yes, it's that 'cool card outfit'! Bring it to me right now! It's been so long since I've worn women's clothes, I'm itching to try it."

Meanwhile, at the Yuan Tian Sacred Sect, the figure surrounded by azure light and tribulation lightning immediately flew into the air and headed straight for the sect.

His target seemed very clear, and he flew straight ahead without stopping.

Meanwhile, Lu An was taming the Azure Sword in his hand, but for some reason, the damned thing started to stir again.

boom!

A deafening explosion rang out, and dust billowed up from the room where Lu An was, revealing a large hole.

Lu An covered his nose, immediately becoming furious: "What the hell? Who doesn't have some public spirit? Don't you know to use the door? What's the point of tearing down the wall like that?"

Just as Lu An was cursing, a figure slowly emerged from the dust and smoke, accompanied by a suffocating pressure.

Lu An stared at the figure in horror, as if his chrysanthemum had been stabbed.

"Azure Sword, it's been a long time..."

A voice that was neither male nor female appeared, and then a person in blue robes, whose face was obscured by a mask, appeared before Lu An.

The Azure Sword seemed to have seen a ghost, immediately hiding behind Lu An's figure, its blade trembling as if it had encountered something terrifying.

Lu An was stunned. No way, even your spirit sword has something to fear?

Why are you hiding behind me? I'm scared too!

"Why won't you come out to see me? Is this your new sword master? Azure Sword?"

Chapter 111 This is a female!

Lu An felt like a pitiful little kid, squatting in a corner, guarding his toys, while a terrifying villain stood in front of him, ready to snatch them away.

No, who is this? Don't rob me! I've just started earning some money and I'm about to be robbed. Is there no law or justice?

Is the retribution for deceiving my fellow cultivators coming so quickly? I was truly wrong! I was truly wrong!

"No, why are you still hiding behind me? Stop hiding and come out to meet your old boss!"

Lu An looked at the Azure Sword still hiding behind him and couldn't help but curse.

How come a weapon is even more cowardly than him? Is there something wrong with this sword's brain?

Although we don't know why the sword was hiding, we can tell from the words it uttered when it appeared that the sword and the man had some connection.

Lu An's mind raced as he tried to figure out what his master had told him when he gave him the weapon.

It's been too long, I forgot, what should I do? I need help urgently!

"This is the Azure Sword, the sword of the former leader of the Righteous Alliance."

"Who was the former leader?"

"His name is Xia Qinglan. He's probably in seclusion right now, trying to break through to the Mahayana stage."

I vaguely remember. My master mentioned Xia Qinglan to me before. She was the former leader of the Righteous Path Alliance, and the Azure Sword was her personal sword.

Since he was once a member of the Righteous Alliance, he must be a good person, right?

They wouldn't just start a fight over a disagreement, would they?

Maybe?

However, I need to stay calm and not get stage fright.

It's just the ninth level of the Tribulation Transcending Realm, so showing off shouldn't be a big problem, right?

"Azure Sword, are you really that unwilling to see me?" Xia Qinglan's voice was a little cold: "By the way, how did you get out? And fellow Daoist, how did you obtain the Azure Sword?"

Lu An was quite sincere: "This sword was given to me by someone. He gave it to me and I took it. It's that simple."

"that's it?"

"That's it. If you're not satisfied, I can make up some more treasure hunt stories and add some exciting and thrilling plot points and content."

"No need. I like honest people. Who gave you this sword? Was it a man or a woman? What did they look like?"

"Ah, I don't know! He just suddenly appeared and said I had extraordinary bone structure and amazing talent, so he decided to give me a world-renowned sword, and then he just handed it to me like that!"

Snapped!

The next moment, Xia Qinglan slapped the table in two, her voice icy cold: "Fellow Daoist, do you think I'm easy to fool? Saying such stupid things?"

Lu An dared not speak, fearing that the next slap would land on him.

"However, it seems you possess some skill, fellow Daoist. I have already reached the ninth level of the Tribulation Transcending Realm, yet I cannot discern your cultivation level," Xia Qinglan said coldly. "May I ask where your master is, and why you are here at the Yuan Tian Sacred Sect?"

"Uh, I... this... that, this..."

"If you don't want to talk about it, then forget it. I only have one question: Was the person who gave you the Azure Sword here just now?"

Now Lu An understood who this person was talking about.

Then Lu An suddenly remembered something—something his former cheap master had once said to him.

"That's how I was back then. I tricked Xia Qinglan into refusing to marry me and becoming completely devoted to me."

"Then he gave me this sword to show that he didn't refuse to marry me."

Oh no... oh no, I just remembered everything.

This is a hot potato; the person in charge has returned to cause trouble.

Seeing that Lu An did not answer, Xia Qinglan threatened, "Fellow Daoist, although I cannot see through your strength, you are still in this mortal realm, so you must be in the Tribulation Transcending stage. If it really comes down to a fight, I am not afraid of you!"

Lu An dared not speak anymore.

That's true. They've already reached the ninth level of the Tribulation Transcending Realm. It's impossible for someone at the Mahayana stage to suddenly appear, right? Those at the Mahayana stage would have already ascended to immortality.

But why do you all keep shouting for war and killing? It's just a question, there's no need to act like this.

Lu An took a deep breath and said, "She was just here, but she's gone."

"Just left? Is that really true?"

Lu An was also furious and retorted angrily, "You've already reached the ninth level of the Tribulation Realm, don't you know whether it's true or not?"

This place is full of mentally ill people. If we really have to kill him, so be it. At worst, we can just confront him directly.

Taking on someone at the ninth level of the Tribulation Transcending Realm is quite impressive.

Xia Qinglan was stunned. She never expected that anyone would dare to talk back to her. This was unbelievable.

Despite being at the ninth level of the Tribulation Transcending Realm, he still couldn't discern the cultivation level of the person before him, a fact that alone was enough to leave him utterly perplexed.

However, he had already touched upon the so-called path to ascension, and he also knew that in this world, not everything was determined by cultivation level.

If someone is weak but their cultivation level cannot be discerned, then either they possess a unique magical treasure or they have a special physique.

Or perhaps he is the reincarnation of a powerful being from the celestial realm.

In short, his background is extraordinary. He might just be a clone reincarnated into the mortal world to cultivate again. If you make a move against him casually, you'll probably be hunted down and killed by his true body after you ascend.

"Fellow Daoist, please don't be angry. I was just asking. Please don't be angry!"

Xia Qinglan immediately sensed that this person was extraordinary, so she spoke words of reassurance.

A series of footsteps sounded, and a figure appeared outside the door.

Shen Xuzi.

"Senior Xia! Senior Xia!"

"Oh, it's you, Shen Xuzi. You've become the sect leader of the Yuan Tian Sacred Sect?"

"Hahaha, isn't it because the former sect leader has retired that I have to take over?"

"Tian Changzi retired? How did he retire?"

"He failed to transcend the tribulation and was struck by lightning and forced to retreat."

Xia Qinglan and Lu An both fell silent upon hearing this.

What a simple and unpretentious reason for retirement.

"Oh, Elder Lu, you're here too. Are you acquainted?" Shen Xuzi's eyes lit up when he saw Lu An.

Lu An remained silent for a while before finally saying, "We weren't familiar with each other before, but we're getting to know each other a bit better now..."

"This young friend looks very young, yet he is already an elder of the Yuan Tian Sacred Sect?"

"More than that, this is a powerful expert that Yu'er personally invited! He's so young yet already at the Tribulation Transcending stage, and he's already an elder of the Enforcement Hall!"

"So young, and already at the Tribulation Transcending stage? Truly, the younger generation is formidable. Your Yuan Tian Sacred Sect truly lives up to its reputation as the number one sect of the righteous path!"

"Not at all, Alliance Leader Xia has also broken through, hasn't he? This time he has already passed the ninth level of tribulation, so he must be about to ascend, right?"

"Ascension is not something I can discuss. Although it's only one level away, the difference between Tribulation Transcending and Mahayana is like heaven and earth, there's an insurmountable chasm between them." Xia Qinglan shook her head: "Only after reaching this level did I realize that the so-called ninth level of Tribulation Transcending is merely the beginning of understanding."

As expected of a big shot, he knows how to act profound!

Anyway, you're the only one who knows about this realm right now, so you can say whatever you want.

Shen Xuzi stroked his beard, seemingly understanding but not quite, and said, "So that's how it is..."

That's utter nonsense! If you don't understand, don't blindly agree with everything you hear, you idiot.

"Was someone just here? And was it a woman?"

"Hmm, as expected of Alliance Leader Xia, nothing escapes your notice. A distinguished guest just arrived, Elder Lu's aunt!"

"Elder Lu's aunt? Does she look like this?" Xia Qinglan didn't waste any words and with a wave of her hand, a woman's phantom appeared in front of her.

Lu An's heart skipped a beat when he saw it.

Isn't this his cheap master? Good heavens, he tried to make his master not wear makeup or disguise himself, and now he's completely exposed.

I'm going to die! I'm going to die!

Shen Xuzi looked her over and nodded, saying, "Ah, yes, yes, that's her! By the way, Alliance Leader Xia, how come you have her phantom image?"

After receiving a definite answer, Xia Qinglan exclaimed excitedly, "Why?! Why?! Because she is the Liyue Flower!"

Shen Xuzi was stunned when he heard the name.

Liyue Flower, that traitor to the righteous path and the scumbag of the demonic path who once dominated the world, and the one who even laughed at his kidney deficiency?

Is it true? Is this person Elder Lu's aunt?

"No way, maybe they just look alike?"

"Impossible! I'd recognize her even if she were ashes! That aura, that scent!"

Lu An panicked a little. What if this guy got excited and decided to kill me?

That master really ruined me.

This guy has a pretty deep relationship with his master.
