Chapter 876 -875: Meng Junzi Alone is Enough
“Miss Yun, don’t talk nonsense. What do you mean I told Little Yang things he shouldn’t know? It is clear that Little Yang is the quick-witted one, figuring out these matters on his own!” Fairy Eternity certainly couldn’t admit that she often had nothing better to do than to share with Lu Yang knowledge only an Immortal should know.
She didn’t tell him; he realized it all by himself.
Lu Yang: “…”
Fairy, do you think I was able to figure out the abilities of the Dao Fruit or the special characteristics of an Immortal on my own?
Yun Zhi walked out from under the ancient tree, her plain white dress dazzling in the sunlight.
“Junior Brother, it seems you’ve been doing well in Imperial City.”
When Man Gu arrived in Imperial City, Yun Zhi also reached the city in secret. While waiting to spring the trap on Guan Shanhai, she took the opportunity to inquire about Lu Yang’s actions in the Imperial City.
She didn’t expect that in just three short months, Lu Yang had led such an eventful life – battling the Geniuses of Imperial City, composing poems during the Shangyuan Festival, reporting the Fourth Prince’s rebellion, meeting Ao Ling’s three ladies, persuading the Fifth Prince’s men to surrender, allowing Emperor Xia to be Prime Minister, and sneaking into the Imperial Palace at night to steal the throne… Ordinary Geniuses would find it hard to achieve even one of these feats, yet Junior Brother accomplished them all.
Yun Zhi glanced at Ao Ling’s three ladies, who were fighting in a corner of the Imperial City, feeling rather surprised. She didn’t expect Ao Ling and Jiang Lianyi to be here, and she certainly didn’t foresee the appearance of another Semi-Immortal from the Ancient Heavenly Court.
“Eldest Senior Sister, I’ve been wronged! All these things were done by the Fairy using my body!” Lu Yang quickly protested his innocence. For the sake of his future, he was ready to sacrifice the Emperor in exchange for glory and wealth – he could not afford to have a heart of mercy!
“Eldest Senior Sister, you know me. I’ve always been low-profile and wouldn’t do such things.”
“Fairy used the authority of the Acting Sect Master to control only me, demanding my body. As a mere mortal, I had no power to resist. I beg Eldest Senior Sister for understanding!”
Fairy Eternity stiffened her neck: “What’s wrong with using the authority of the Acting Sect Master? That’s what Miss Yun agreed to previously.”
“Then, Fairy Senior, do you still wish to continue as the Acting Sect Master?”
Yun Zhi remembered that she had promised Fairy Eternity would be the Acting Sect Master for a year, and many months were still left.
“I’ve had enough fun; I don’t want to anymore.”
Fairy Eternity had been enjoying herself these past few days and currently had no intention of continuing as the Acting Sect Master.
Lu Yang quickly flattered her: “Since ancient times, those in power have clung to their authority. The fact that the Fairy is not swayed by power and is willing to step down at her peak, making way for others, is remarkable. It is a fortune for Seek Dao Sect and a blessing for the world!”
Hearing the heartfelt praise from a loyal subject, Fairy Eternity laughed heartily.
“So, was it truly Senior Meng Junzi who borrowed Emperor Xia’s lifespan?”
“Yes, Emperor Xia’s lifespan was never an issue from the beginning.”
“Meng Junzi and Jiang Pingan noticed quite early on that Guan Shanhai coveted the Power of National Fate and sought to restore Great Yu. However, Guan Shanhai is cautious and does not act rashly.”
“Having an Immortal always eyeing the Power of National Fate is not a good thing. It requires constant vigilance, which is both worrisome and exhausting. Therefore, they concocted this event together.”
“The Power of National Fate resides within each Emperor Xia. When one emperor dies, the power will transfer to the next. Guan Shanhai, even if able to deal with Jiang Pingan, would not dare harm an Emperor Xia endowed with the Power of National Fate, for an emperor protected by it could hold out until Jiang Pingan returns.”
“Therefore, they first borrowed the lifespan of Emperor Xia, feigning that his time was running out, while also ensuring the Crown Prince would refuse the succession. Thus, once Emperor Xia died, the Power of National Fate would be unbound, prompting Guan Shanhai to take action, just like today.”
Lu Yang pondered, “So, are you saying that all of the Crown Prince’s prior actions were feigned, and that he actually wants to succeed the throne?”
“No, that is the only thing that wasn’t feigned.”
“…”
“The original plan was for Emperor Xia to feign death in a few more years, but your and Junior Brother Meng’s trip to Imperial City made me change this idea, leading me to suggest they move the plan forward.”
Meeting Lu Yang’s puzzled gaze, Yun Zhi patiently explained.
“I told them that considering Junior Brother’s luck, having you in the Imperial City would make it more likely for Guan Shanhai to make a move.”
Lu Yang felt that Eldest Senior Sister misunderstood him; causing the Fourth Prince and Fifth Prince to fall, convincing Guan Shanhai that Emperor Xia was truly ill, was clearly the work of Fairy.
“Then, Eldest Senior Sister, you could have given me a heads-up, so I could be mentally prepared,” Lu Yang said.
Lu Yang looked at Eldest Senior Sister somberly. He had always kept his lips sealed; even knowing the true situation of Emperor Xia, he wouldn’t spill it.
Yun Zhi sighed, “Junior Brother, you certainly wouldn’t let slip any information. I’m just worried that knowing the truth would attract too many Immortals and make it difficult to end things smoothly.”
“…”
“Then, Eldest Senior Sister, are you also going to take action here?” Lu Yang asked.
Yun Zhi looked up at the fierce battle in the sky between the two Immortals: “Given the current state of the battle, Meng Junzi alone should suffice.”
…
Meng Junzi and Guan Shanhai not only possessed Dao Fruits but could also use several Dao Fruit Embryos simultaneously. The effect of employing a Dao Fruit Embryo in the hands of a Semi-Immortal versus an Immortal was incomparable.

The two moved in different patterns, each gaining the upper hand in turn. Guan Shanhai, with the Longevity Dao Fruit Embryo and Rejuvenation Dao Fruit Embryo, could quickly recover from his injuries.
Meng Junzi, on the other hand, appeared to have no means of healing his wounds. His body was riddled with scars, and there was a particularly deep wound on his chest, deep enough to reveal the bone.
Seeing Meng Junzi’s injured state, Guan Shanhai sneered, “I thought you had some tricks up your sleeve, young man. It seems you’re nothing special. If it weren’t for my concern about you stealing my Immortal Artifact, I would have used it to kill you long ago!”
Guan Shanhai could use Dreamland Dao Fruit Embryos to create several Immortal Treasures in his sleep, and after materializing these treasures, he could use the Swap Dao Fruit Embryo to exchange them for the Immortal Artifacts he desired!
However, considering Meng Junzi’s way of fighting, anyone who fought him during his Semi-Immortal days would have their magic artifacts borrowed by him, which was tantamount to aiding the enemy and was undesirable.
Meng Junzi, unconcerned about his own injuries, just smiled nonchalantly and activated his Borrowing Dao Fruit.
“Seeing as you, Guan, are in such fine health, something seems to be missing, and it’s not quite as appealing. How about I lend you these wounds of mine?” Meng Junzi suggested.
Guan Shanhai’s complexion changed. Before he could react, he felt as though his entire body was under attack; he had a particularly deep wound on his chest, deep enough to reveal the bone!
In contrast, Meng Junzi’s injuries were gone.
Meng Junzi looked at the battered Guan Shanhai and revealed a satisfied smile.
“Now you, Guan, look much better,” Meng Junzi commented.
“Guan, shall we continue fighting?” he asked.
“Meng Junzi!” Guan Shanhai roared, using two types of Dao Fruit Embryos to heal his wounds.
But these wounds were originally inflicted by him, striking exceedingly hard, and now having appeared on his own body, they were not something that could be healed in an instant!
Unless he had the Longevity Dao Fruit or the Rejuvenation Dao Fruit.
“Why yell so loud? Further aggravating your wounds is not good,” Meng Junzi said with his casual, unconcerned smile, once again utilizing his Borrowing Dao Fruit.
“I borrow strength from the past and the future.”
As his words fell, two figures crossed time, arriving from the past and the future, fighting alongside Meng Junzi.
