Chapter 866 Interception
"Emperor Xia needs this fairy peach the most right now, and we need to send it to him as soon as possible!"
Emperor Xia's condition is not optimistic. He may not live for many days. It is time to take the fairy peach.
The only thing that puzzled Lu Yang was why the senior sister didn't just let Man Gu send it to the palace, but instead asked himself to send it there.
The situation is urgent now, and Lu Yang can't think of the reason for the time being, so he prepares to set off.
To be on the safe side, Lu Yang also informed Meng's father about the fairy peach, hoping that the Meng family would send someone to go to the palace with him.
Ao Ling and the other two have special identities. If they take action, it will be hard to explain why they want to help Lu Yang. It is best not to take action if possible.
"It is not subject to the threshold of life span and can continue to extend life span. Is there such a magical thing in the world?"
Meng Potian showed a strange look on his face. Even though his Meng family was rich and powerful, they had never heard of the existence of fairy peaches.
"Since it is what Daoist Fellow Yunzhi said, it must be true."
"Come on, I'll personally accompany you to the palace!"
Meng Potian knew that this matter was of great importance. Lu Yang was not clear about the current situation of the Imperial City, but he was very clear that as Emperor Xia's life span was running out, many forces were once again ready to make a move, all wanting to profit from it.
The existence of the fairy peach would certainly be seen as a thorn in their eyes! Not to mention that the fairy peach could prolong life, which would attract many old monsters with a short lifespan.
Although people nowadays cannot recognize that fairy peaches are the product of the spiritual roots of heaven and earth, successful cultivators can determine that this is something that can prolong one's lifespan simply by the smell of the fairy peaches.
Meng Potian suspected that Man Gu brought the fairy peach into the Imperial City. From the gate of the Imperial City to the Meng Mansion, the fragrance of the fairy peach was wafting in the air, and it was very likely that he had been targeted by someone with ulterior motives.
Meng Potian tried to seal the fairy peach using various sealing methods, but was unable to lock in its scent. Even when he asked the old ancestor in the Tribulation Period who was practicing in the mountains of the Meng Mansion to help, it was useless.
Lu Yang and Meng Potian had no choice but to go to the Imperial City holding the fairy peaches that exuded peach fragrance. Also going with them were several Meng family members in the Fusion Stage and one Meng family member in the Tribulation Stage.
On the surface, the Imperial City was still as bustling and prosperous as usual, with practitioners everywhere, but Meng Potian knew that this was just an illusion. In reality, all forces were very nervous, on edge, and keeping a close eye on what was happening in the palace at all times.
People all want to know whether it will be the eldest prince or the second prince who will eventually inherit the throne.
The Imperial City is divided into two parts by a river several hundred feet wide, namely the South City and the North City. The Imperial Palace is located in the North City, and the Meng Mansion is located in the South City. If you want to get from the Meng Mansion to the Imperial Palace, you must pass through the Jinsha River.
When Lu Yang and his companions reached the middle of the bridge, a large group of people and horses came towards them. The leader, riding a tall horse, stopped in front of the two men.
"Daoist Lu Yang, Uncle Meng, where are you two going?"
The rider dismounted and asked politely.
Lu Yang looked at the other party warily and quietly took two steps back: "I won't bother you, Second Prince, with this."
The second prince narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at the box that Lu Yang was carrying.
"If I'm not mistaken, what Fellow Daoist Lu Yang is carrying should be something that can extend his lifespan? Give it to me, Lu Yang. When I become emperor, I will give you everything you want!"
The second prince had fiery eyes as he looked at the box on Lu Yang's back as if he was looking at the body of a peerless beauty.
Among his supporters, there was a man in the Tribulation Crossing Stage named Cangmingzi. Lu Yang had met him during his trip to the East China Sea.
Cangmingzi told the second prince that Lu Yang had something that could save Emperor Xia's life.
In the eyes of the Second Prince, this was not something that could save his father's life at all; it was clearly an invaluable magical item that could make his father hand over the throne to him!
As long as he gets the life-saving item and saves his father, his father will definitely give him the throne! Meng Potian stood in front of Lu Yang and said coldly: "Get out of the way. Your Majesty is in danger now. It's time to race against time. Don't waste time on this kind of thing."
The second prince did not want to offend the Meng family and the Wendao Sect, but he knew that this was his only chance to obtain the throne. According to the news from the palace, his father was ready to issue an edict to pass the throne to his eldest brother, but at this point, his father was in a coma.
When his father wakes up and issues an edict to pass on the throne, he will no longer have a chance to fight for it!
Success or failure depends on this one move, let’s give it a try!
In order to seize the throne, he won over too many people and made too many exchanges of interests. If he gave in at this time, he promised that the forces behind him would not agree.
"What if I don't let you?"
"Then get out of here!" When Meng Potian was young, he and Lao Ma and Butler Xu ventured into the world of immortal cultivation. He was originally a fierce bandit, but after he became the head of a family, his personality became more restrained.
At this point, he simply stopped pretending.
"Let's go together!"
At Meng Potian's command, the elders of the Meng family attacked at the same time, the power of the five elements circulated, and the yin and yang energies gushed out.
But the second prince is not a pushover either, as they also have several people in the fusion stage.
Boom! The two sides started a battle on the Jinsha River. The bridge deck collapsed and turned into huge rocks, splashing into the river.
Fortunately, the pedestrians crossing the bridge noticed that the atmosphere between the two sides was not right, so they had already stayed away and did not dare to go up the bridge.
Faced with the melee in the fusion stage, Lu Yang was unable to help and had to hide aside.
But he was holding the fairy peach and was the focus of the battle between the two sides. Under the river, a water shadow locked onto Lu Yang and approached quickly.
Please...you...collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠBar (Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\Bar!)
The river surface was boiling, mist was curling, and the mist in the sky turned into chains and flew towards Lu Yang.
"Cang Mingzi, you are so brave!"
A loud shout came from above Lu Yang's head. The sound contained the true meaning of a lion's roar, shattering the chains.
Cang Mingzi flew out of the water and his pupils suddenly shrank when he saw the person shouting and breaking the chains.
"Meng Kuang, when did you reach the Tribulation Crossing Stage?"
Meng Kuang, Meng Jingzhou’s grandfather, was a good friend of Buyu Taoist, a great enemy of the Right and Left Prime Ministers, and the previous patriarch of the Meng family.
"Do I need to tell you when I reached the Tribulation Crossing Stage?"
Meng Kuang held a big knife in his hand and scratched the blade with his palm. Blood flowed on the blade and was quickly absorbed by the blade. The big knife was scarlet all over and wrapped around Meng Kuang's wrist, as if it had become one with Meng Kuang.
"In order to support the second son of the Jiang family, you dare to snatch things from the younger generation. You don't even care about your face."
Meng Kuang's scarlet sword set off a bloody storm. Cang Mingzi's face suddenly changed when he saw this scene, and he shouted in a lost voice: "How is it possible that the Fighting Sword Technique has reached perfection? The Fighting Sword Technique requires fighting to support fighting, and enlightenment, breakthroughs, and perfection in war. There has been no large-scale war in the past thousand years, so how can you have the opportunity to practice the Fighting Sword Technique!"
Meng Kuang laughed and slashed at Cang Mingzi with a knife.
"Fool, isn't a business war also a war? When I was the head of the family, the Meng family experienced so many business wars!"
"Look at this move of mine, the wealth of fighting swordsmanship is rolling in!"
Cangmingzi transformed into a body in the shape of water. He was as kind as water and could overcome hardness with softness. As a person in the Tribulation Crossing period who was good at controlling water, he was very good at restraining knife cultivators and sword cultivators.
Meng Kuang chopped with his sword, and Cang Mingzi was split into two, turning into two water balls. The water balls came together again, and Cang Mingzi was safe and sound.
"What about old ghost Meng Kuang? Don't think that you can be my opponent just because you secretly cultivated to the Tribulation Crossing Stage!"
Meng Kuang chuckled and took out a large cloth bag from behind him, which was filled with top-grade spirit stones.
When Cangmingzi saw the big cloth bag, his expression became extremely interesting. He hurriedly touched the storage ring and found that all the top-grade spirit stones in the storage ring were gone!
"What kind of move is this!" Cangmingzi was anxious, these were all his spirit stones.
"I've already said it, this is called the Fighting Sword Technique of Making Money."
"Bullshit, there is no such move in the fighting sword technique."
"Business war is all about turning your money into my money. Isn't it normal that I learned this tactic from business war?"
