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

That would be a huge problem! How could his mere Golden Core form withstand the torment of a Tribulation Transcending expert?

That won't work, we need to think of another way.

Think quickly, this woman is coming over!

Xia Qinglan licked her lips: "Don't struggle, just bear with it, I'll be quick!"

Lu An felt that this line was familiar, but couldn't remember who had said something similar.

Finally, a brilliant idea struck him, and he came up with a solution.

Master, please don't blame me! Please don't blame me!

"Wait! You just want to find that woman, Li Yuehua, right? I have a way!"

When the woman was only a few steps away from Lu An, Lu An finally had a sudden inspiration and shouted.

"What can you do? If I just cut you up, wouldn't you be Sister Li?"

Lu An remained silent.

No, this isn't 2-1=1. Even if you cut me down, I still can't become your master.

However, Lu An didn't waste any words. Instead, she raised her hand and projected the image onto the wall through her storage ring. What appeared on the wall was the private photo that Li Podao had sent her before.

This tactic was quite effective; as soon as it appeared, Xia Qinglan was drawn to the private photos on the wall.

Bang!

Xia Qinglan released the Azure Sword from her hand, and it fell to the ground. Xia Qinglan then walked step by step toward the wall, her eyes seemingly lost in thought.

"Sister Li, this is Sister Li! How did you get this? How did you get this...?"

"Hey, I'm pretty close to her. This is what she left for me. What do you think, Leader Xia?"

Lu An's eyes lit up with joy, thinking that this was indeed useful. He kept switching between the photos on the screen and also took a look at them himself.

I have to say, my master's photography skills are really good, especially those thighs, they are indeed thin, white and long!

Oh my god! This is really oh my god! He looked at these photos of his master and couldn't help but sigh.

It's not surprising that my master used to have a side business in the Hehuan Sect; his alluring appearance shows he's naturally seductive!

"I love her, I love her! Sister Li is so beautiful! Where is she? I want her! I want her!"

Xia Qinglan was clearly the type who couldn't resist seeing Li Podao's female form, but Lu An didn't dare to turn off the projection easily, fearing that she might have the medicine and pick up a sword to cut him down.

Indeed, one cannot become an immortal without being obsessed. This powerful figure at the ninth level of the Tribulation Transcending Realm could not have ascended to such a level without being mad enough.

But watching it continuously isn't a solution, and besides, I'm starting to get itchy to watch it myself.

However, he had to praise her; his master was indeed a beauty, and none of the promotional photos released by the Hehuan Sect were as beautiful as her.

On the wall, photos of Rihadou's female body were displayed one after another, and Rihadou, who was in the distance, couldn't help but feel a chill.

Why do I feel uneasy about something?

Li Podao hid in his cave on Tianmo Peak, clutching his clothes tightly, his body trembling involuntarily.

A chill ran down my spine; I'm already at the Tribulation Transcending stage, this shouldn't be happening.

"Why is that all? Why is that all?! Is there more? I want more! I want more!"

Xia Qinglan was clearly hooked on watching, and if he wasn't given more to watch, she would continue to go crazy, but Lu An couldn't do anything about it, because he only had this much.

I originally intended to keep them for myself, but today I had to hand over all my stock. Oh no!

Xia Qinglan turned her head, and her expression was... three parts pitiful, four parts mad, two parts confused, and one part insane.

Xia Qinglan's hand trembled, and the Azure Sword that had fallen to the ground flew back into her hand.

Lu An was so frightened by what he saw that he almost peed his pants.

This crazy woman, is she never going to stop?

"It seems I have no choice but to use my ultimate move. Please don't blame me, Master!"

Seeing Xia Qinglan in a state of semi-madness, Lu Anxin hardened his heart and decided to make a decision that would disobey his master and betray his ancestors.

A flash of white light appeared in Lu An's hand, and a rather revealing undergarment, a bellyband, appeared in his grasp.

Xia Qinglan was stunned when she saw this scene, probably not realizing what was happening.

The next moment, Lu An crumpled the undergarment into a ball and threw it to Xia Qinglan.

Xia Qinglan grabbed her with lightning speed, then smelled her, her eyes instantly becoming glazed over, manic, and satisfied.

Xia Qinglan took a deep breath while holding the bodice, her expression one of rapture and intoxication: "This scent...it's...it's Sister Li's scent!"

Upon seeing this, Lu An was overjoyed and said smugly, "Alliance Leader Xia, if you like, I have plenty here!"

"Really? Really? You have them all?" Xia Qinglan asked, burying her face in her bodice again.

"Ah... Sister Li, I haven't smelled this scent in so many years." Xia Qinglan buried her face deeply in her bodice, her expression one of pure bliss.

It's probably like the expression on a cat's face when it's inhaling catnip.

Meanwhile, far away in Lipodao, he felt his body trembling uncontrollably, as if many strange little insects were crawling all over him, and he inexplicably got a lot of goosebumps.

What's going on? Is there a plague outbreak today?

The camera then shifts back to Lu An.

Xia Qinglan looked at Lu An longingly and asked, "How much...how much do you have left?"

Lu An, without blushing or skipping a beat, said, "Not much, but not a small amount either. However, it will take me some time to get it."

Lu An never expected that the personal clothing that his master had accidentally put in his storage ring and kept at the bottom of his chest would one day be used in this way!

He had already discovered the philosophical garments when he was looking through this storage ring, but he wasn't a pervert and couldn't bring himself to do it, so he didn't pay any attention to these personal garments belonging to his master.

However, he was also curious as to why his master would put these things in his storage ring, and what their purpose was.

But now he understood—that's what it was for!

What seems like useless trash is actually the winning formula for subduing a Tribulation Transcending expert!

"Hehehe, I'll let you off the hook for today, I'll come back next time!"

Xia Qinglan took the undergarment from Li Podao and left, and Lu An finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Master, please don't blame me. But since you put it in there, it's probably something you don't want anymore.

This saved my disciple, I'll never forget it!

Meanwhile, Li Podao on Tianmo Peak was rummaging through a pile of clothes, looking quite puzzled.

"Strange, where's my favorite bellyband? Where did I put it?"

Chapter 114 Elder Lu, calm down! Don't take it to heart!

The news that Xia Qinglan, the Sword Immortal of Qinglan, had emerged from seclusion shocked countless people in the cultivation world.

Previously, there were many rumors about Xia Qinglan. Some people said she had gone mad from practicing qi deviation, some said she had secluded herself to death, and some said she had actually ascended to the Great Ascension stage. But no matter what the legend was, it was all fabricated based on her not showing herself in front of others.

As for what Xia Qinglan really is, no one knows.

As more and more outstanding figures emerged, both the righteous and the demonic paths produced their own influential figures, each dominating the scene for hundreds of years, and Xia Qinglan's name gradually faded into obscurity.

But how could a big shot be unknown? Especially with Xia Qinglan's emergence from seclusion this time, causing such a great stir, everyone must know about her!

Of course, the Yuan Tian Sheng Sect also suffered heavy losses, with many buildings being directly struck by lightning and reduced to ruins. The cost of repairing them with spirit stones was another large sum.

However, compared to the Yuan Tian Sheng Zong being struck by lightning, everyone was still inquiring about the matter of Qinglan Sword Immortal, the former leader of the Righteous Path Alliance, Xia Qinglan.

The Righteous Alliance was very happy, but the Demonic Alliance was not happy at all and even wanted to shut themselves off.

Not only have no powerful figures emerged from our demonic path, but a traitor has also escaped. How are we supposed to fight this? We can't fight!

If they can't win, they have no choice but to back down, so the demonic forces have become much more restrained during this period.

Everyone's gossip has turned to Xia Qinglan.

Everyone's guesses about her strength were pretty accurate: either she was at the eighth or ninth level of the Tribulation Transcending stage, or at least she was just one step away from the Great Ascension stage that everyone desired!

However, opinions differ on what she plans to do in the future.

Go back to the Righteous Path Alliance as its leader? It's not just a matter of whether she's willing to do it, but also whether the current leader of the Righteous Path Alliance is willing to let her go.

Go to another sect and become a guest elder? That depends on who dares to take you in.

After all, this Qinglan Sword Immortal is a notorious madman and a deeply affectionate simp. He had a complicated and passionate relationship with Li Yuehua, a former traitor to the righteous path and a scumbag woman of the demonic path.

In the end, he lost both his sword and his sword. His sword, Azure Sword, disappeared without a trace, and he was disheartened. After a period of depression, he turned around and embarked on the path of cultivation again. Finally, he went into seclusion, saying that he wanted to break through to the Mahayana stage.

Everyone was thinking that Xia Qinglan, having suffered such a severe emotional wound, might have an unstable Dao heart, ultimately failing to break through and becoming a true simp who ended up with nothing. But she broke through!

He broke through! He's actually reached the ninth level of the Tribulation Transcending Realm!

This guy really got everything he wanted after all his sycophancy. What's a divine sword? It's definitely not as awesome as something he got through his own cultivation!

Now that she has broken through and emerged from seclusion, what will Xia Qinglan do?

Most people guess that he must be seeking an opportunity to break through this last barrier, and then ascend to the immortal realm!

Everyone is looking forward to this event, because it has been many years since anyone has seen someone ascend to heaven. Some people say that at the moment of ascension, there will be celestial energy flowing down to the mortal world. If you get even a little bit of it, then things will be very different!

When one person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. If you're by her side, you might be carried along too, wouldn't that be like taking off?

What's the point of cultivating immortality then?! Just follow the big shots and coast along, wouldn't you have everything you could want?

However, this last level is not easy to break through; one might end up wasting their entire life here.

That is truly a painful thing. The lifespan of someone who has transcended the ninth level of tribulation is unimaginably long. If one has already sought out everything in the world and tasted everything that should be tasted, and still cannot break through, then it is no different from waiting to die.

It was just a death sentence with a very long term.

However, the matter concerning Xia Qinglan has taken a completely new turn.

"Really? Alliance Leader Xia and Elder Lu are having an affair!?"

"How could that be fake? Elder Yan said it himself! He was practically waving it in his face!"

"You guys tell me, Elder Lu is really something else. Even in this state, I heard he had an affair with our Vice Sect Master Yu Wanqing. How did he end up entangled with Alliance Leader Xia?"

"Yes, that's strange. Is Elder Lu too charming, or is Alliance Leader Xia too thirsty?"

"You don't understand, do you? It must be because Alliance Leader Xia has been in seclusion for too long, so he urgently needs a Daoist partner after emerging to cultivate his Dao heart and break through to the Mahayana stage!"

"Elder Lu is also a hero of his generation. He is a powerful figure who infiltrated the Heavenly Demon Sect. He is definitely different! It is not surprising that Alliance Leader Xia takes a liking to him!"

Throughout the entire Yuan Tian Sheng Sect, the news was being discussed by Little Crouching Dragon and Little Phoenix Chick. In short, no matter how normal something was, once they spread it, it would become outrageous!

Once the Sleeping Dragon and Phoenix Chick of the Yuantian Sacred Sect have finished performing, it will be the turn of the Sleeping Dragon and Phoenix Chick outside the Yuantian Sacred Sect to perform.

The more these rumors spread, the more outrageous they became, and the more panicked Lu An became.

I don't even know how things are going with Yu Wanqing, and I don't know how my master will explain things to my senior sister. On top of that, there's this rumor about Xia Qinglan. Isn't this going to be the death of me?

What the hell? What's the difference between this and personally walking onto the guillotine?

Now, wherever Lu An goes, he becomes the center of attention. No matter who it is, even a passing dog will gossip about him with other dogs.

"Elder Lu, please relax. Life is full of misunderstandings and twists and turns."

Shen Xuzi brewed tea, poured it into Lu An's teacup, and calmly offered his advice.

Looking at the pale yellow tea and smelling its rich aroma, Lu An felt no sense of relief whatsoever.

Who can feel at ease with this? There are so many brilliant minds out there, spreading rumors everywhere. Who can withstand it?

Lu An said in excruciating pain, "No, they're all spreading rumors that I'm having an affair with Xia Qinglan. Sect Master, I'm completely innocent! They're actually making baseless accusations against me, this is just too much..."

Shen Xuzi waved his hand and comforted him, "Hey, what's so innocent about it? It's normal for cultivators to do random things, and it's a good thing. Everyone knows you and Alliance Leader Xia have a thing... no, you have a relationship, and they all look at you with new respect!"

Lu An was stunned: "Sect Master, what did you say...?"

It's normal for cultivators to act recklessly; how could such nonsense come out of the mouth of the sect leader of the number one righteous sect?

What... what kind of international joke is this...?

Shen Xuzi realized he had misspoke and quickly said, "What I mean is, people can say whatever they want, so why care so much?"

"You don't know, I have my reasons."

Lu An rubbed his lower back, feeling a dull ache.
