Chapter 872 Pretend
Guan Shanhai's voice spread throughout the imperial city. From princes and ministers to ordinary people, everyone was shocked when they heard this name.
Even children who learned to read and study in private schools had heard of the name "Meng Junzi".
The ancestor of the Meng family once contended with the Jiang family for the existence of the world. Although the Jiang family won in the end and established Da Xia, the Meng family was not like the losers in previous dynasty struggles who were wiped out. In fact, on the contrary, the Meng family prospered and became the number one family in Da Xia.
This is certainly because the ancestor of the Jiang family remembers their old friendship, but the more important reason is that the Meng family has a very deep foundation.
The Meng family originated in the Dayu period, but at that time the Meng family was just an ordinary family. The one who truly led the Meng family to grow and prosper and accumulate rich heritage was Meng Junzi, who became the head of the family in the late Dayu period.
"Friend Guan, it's not good to be so violent." Mr. Meng stood with his hands behind his back, exuding a neutral and peaceful aura, dispersing the pressure from the immortals that enveloped the imperial city.
"You really have become an immortal!" If Guan Shanhai was still skeptical before, now what Meng Junzi showed made him certain that he was also an immortal like himself.
The appearance of Meng Junzi shocked everyone, including Meng Jingzhou.
Meng Jingzhou stared at the old ancestor standing above his head, his mouth wide open in surprise.
No, it turns out that you, my ancestor, have become an immortal.
Man Gu was also quite surprised. He had only been in the Imperial City for an hour and had already met two immortals. He knew that he would follow Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou to broaden his horizons.
Mr. Meng only showed up at the beginning of the establishment of Daxia, and has never appeared since then. People say that he became disheartened after losing to Jiang Ping'an and kept himself in seclusion.
Guan Shanhai also thought so. Jiang Ping'an and Meng Junzi, two geniuses of later generations, were too dazzling. He had to pay attention to them. Otherwise, he would not have sent students to teach at the Meng Mansion Private School in his capacity as the dean of Tai Academy.
He had witnessed with his own eyes that Mr. Meng crowned himself and asked future generations to bury him in Mengfu Mountain.
Now it seems that I was just putting on an act for him.
Why should one call himself an immortal?
Guan Shanhai stared at Meng Junzi, trying to recall when Meng Junzi became an immortal right under his nose and where the catastrophe of his becoming an immortal was.
Suddenly he realized that Mr. Meng had become an immortal one hundred thousand years ago.
"At the time, Wu Yao and I became immortals at the same time during the founding ceremony. You and Jiang Ping'an were the same. You both became immortals in the final battle!"
"I can't believe you have never used the power of the Dao Fruit in the past 100,000 years. You have always pretended to be a semi-immortal. You are really patient. Mr. Meng, I really underestimated you!"
Mr. Meng smiled slightly: "Fishing requires patience. Look, haven't you made any gains today?"
Guan Shanhai has always been cautious in doing things. He would avoid fighting if possible. There are winners and losers in fighting, but as long as he doesn't fight, he will always be invincible. That's why he sent Jiang Ping'an away. If he knew that Meng Junzi had also become an immortal, he would never show up in the Imperial City.
Guan Shanhai sneered as if he hadn't heard Mr. Meng's provocation. "When I ordered General Yu to intercept the fairy peach, you didn't show up at all. You watched Emperor Xia die. You are really heartless."
This is a heart-piercing statement. Guan Shanhai deliberately brought this up so that everyone in the Imperial City could hear it clearly. This is to tell the people of Daxia that the so-called emperor is nothing more than a tool used by the immortals to calculate and manipulate. This is enough to shake the emperor's position in the hearts of the people! Meng Junzi was not in a hurry when he heard this. He still looked leisurely: "How can you be sure that Emperor Xia is really dead?"
"Or is it true that Emperor Xia is about to die?"
…
"What do you mean by acting? Emperor Xia hasn't died of old age yet. Is it too late to send the fairy peach over now?"
The Immortal Fairy was still not fully awake, and continued to yawn with sleepy eyes: "Immortal peach? Didn't Yun girl say that she only found one? I don't know where the spiritual root of heaven and earth has gone. You can eat this good thing, Xiao Yangzi. Anyway, Emperor Xia's end of life was just an act."
"Pretending?"
Lu Yang was shocked. He thought the "acting" mentioned by the Immortal Fairy was referring to the death of Emperor Xia. But from this, even the problem of Emperor Xia's life span was pretended? Hearing the second in command's raised voice, the Immortal Fairy finally came to her senses and said, "If he was going to die soon, why would I let him be the prime minister?"
"Fairy, did you know from the beginning that Emperor Xia's longevity was fake?"
"It wasn't at the beginning. It was during the three months when I was acting as the sect leader and preparing to hold the 120,000th anniversary celebration of the Wendao Sect. Didn't I go to the palace for a meeting with Emperor Xia? That's when I realized he was pretending."
"Isn't that the first time we met?"
This was something that Lian Yunzhi had not expected. Emperor Xia's disguise could deceive Lu Yang, deceive the people of the world, and deceive Guan Shanhai, but it could not deceive the immortal fairy who possessed the immortal Taoist fruit and controlled the power of life and death.
Lu Yang remembered something.
At first, the eldest sister told him and the fairy that Emperor Xia was dying, and asked the fairy if she had any magical item that could prolong his life. The Immortal Fairy said that she could give Emperor Xia a prototype of the Immortal Dao Fruit, allowing Emperor Xia to become the fourth in command. After the eldest sister rejected this proposal, the fairy told him about the fairy peach.

And ever since the fairy went to the palace to attend a meeting with Emperor Xia, she never mentioned making Emperor Xia the fourth in command.
Not only did she not say to let Emperor Xia become the fourth in command, but after the fairy defeated the four leaders of the immortal sects in the palace, she also proposed to challenge Emperor Xia.
If Emperor Xia really didn't have much time left to live, the Immortal Fairy would not have done this.
Lu Yang understood that this matter was a trap set for Guan Shanhai from the very beginning.
No wonder the eldest sister did not send the fairy peach directly to the palace, but had Mangu hand it over to me.
From the beginning, the eldest sister had no intention of letting Emperor Xia take the fairy peach to prolong his life.
Emperor Xia extended his lifespan, and the power of national destiny still lies with him, so Guan Shanhai will never be able to jump out.
The purpose of the fairy peach is to make Guan Shanhai stop it, so that Guan Shanhai will be sure that Emperor Xia is really dying.
…
Guan Shanhai's expression was so gloomy that water could drip out of it.
He didn't expect that everything was fake.
He has been paying close attention to Emperor Xia's movements recently, and has been observing Emperor Xia closely as Dean Qi, but he did not realize that Emperor Xia was in disguise.
He was a suspicious person, but the recent changes in the Imperial City did seem like Emperor Xia was about to die: Emperor Xia first asked the eldest prince to impersonate himself to handle government affairs to test his ability, and then the eldest prince was unwilling to inherit the throne, so Emperor Xia successively eliminated the fourth prince and the fifth prince, forcing the eldest prince to succeed to the throne.
"Okay, okay, I never thought that Guan has been scheming against others all his life, but he didn't expect to be schemed against by a bunch of you juniors!"
