Having suffered a significant loss, Cang Mingzi dared not clash directly with Meng Kuang’s moves again. Enduring a couple more would surely lead to bankruptcy.
Cang Mingzi dodged and weaved, trying to seize the opportunity to snatch the Immortal Peach from Lu Yang’s hands.
But when it came to the experience of stealing, how could Cang Mingzi compare to Meng Kuang? With just a move of his fingers, Meng Kuang could predict Cang Mingzi’s intentions and block the path ahead of time.
His actions anticipated, and not daring to take the heavy blows, Cang Mingzi quickly fell into a disadvantage.
In the center of the river, although Meng Potian had practiced for less than two thousand years and was not as experienced as the Elders of the Seek Dao Sect, his talents in both cultivation and combat were unparalleled. This was evident from Meng Jingzhou. At the Body Integration Realm, if he didn’t encounter a freak at the Half-Step Pass Tribulation Stage, there was no one who could match Meng Potian.
The masked people who made their moves on the Second Prince’s side concealed their identities. Otherwise, if word got out, they would be finished.
“Kong Yuan, you, the Chief Secretary of the Governor’s Mansion, have taken action?”
Meng Potian deduced his opponent’s identity after a brief exchange. He was often the target of masked assailants, but fortunately, his superior cultivation level meant he was hardly troubled.
Having been ambushed and struck from behind so frequently, he had naturally developed a talent for guessing the identities of his attackers.
“Nonsense, who is Kong Yuan? I don’t know him!” Kong Yuan denied vehemently, unable to acknowledge the truth.
Meng Potian sent Kong Yuan flying with a kick, from one side of the river to the other, making him spit out blood and lose his mask.
After rolling on the ground twice, Kong Yuan ended up at the feet of a crowd who were watching the battle, never expecting someone to land amongst them.
Kong Yuan inwardly cursed— he absolutely couldn’t let anyone see his face!
“Die!”
It was fairly normal for bystanders to be impacted during a clash between two Body Integration Realm fighters.
Unexpectedly, someone in the group crouched down and punched Kong Yuan, dazing him with the blow.
“The public order in the Imperial City is really lacking,” Mu Baiyi clicked his tongue and punched Kong Yuan again.
The Jiuyou Sect and the Yaoyang Sect were here to assess the Imperial City’s business environment; having arrived only a few days ago, they had already encountered a battle among Body Integration Realm cultivators and even one who wanted to kill them.
Kong Yuan should have thought it through; could the spectators daring to watch at such a time be ordinary citizens?
“Who’s next?”
“I’ll go, I’ll go.”
The high ranks of both demonic sects volunteered one after another. Opportunities to retaliate against Dynasty officials weren’t common.
Casualties were quite normal in a battle between Body Integration Realm cultivators.
“Lu Yang, you little rascal, hurry up and leave!”
Although Cang Mingzi was being suppressed by Meng Kuang, it was difficult for Meng Kuang to defeat him instantly. The most urgent matter was to deliver the Immortal Peach to the Imperial Palace quickly.
Meng Kuang grabbed Lu Yang by the collar, twisted his wrist, and flung Lu Yang straight across the river to the other bank—North City, where the Imperial Palace was located.
Lu Yang tumbled on the ground, then quickly pulled out the Sword Washing Pool and flew toward the direction of the Imperial Palace.
The high ranks of the two great demonic sects felt that with the Imperial City in such chaos, it would be more interesting to follow the center of turmoil, Lu Yang, and temporarily spared the unconscious Kong Yuan as they stealthily followed.
After flying over half of North City, Lu Yang suddenly felt the restless movement of the Invincible Nascent Soul trying to escape. He hurriedly pushed off forcefully and jumped to one side.

Boom!
A column of fire slammed down, hitting right where the Sword Washing Pool had been. If Lu Yang had been caught by that, he would have undoubtedly died.
“Oh, just a Nascent Soul youngster, and you managed to dodge my strike? It seems the Seek Dao Sect holds you in high regard, bestowing upon you a life-saving treasure.”
“`
From the midst of the soaring flames, a figure emerged slowly, handsome as jade with a black robe, seemingly a young master from some reclusive influential family, a frivolous smile playing on his lips.
“Who are you!” Lu Yang watched the figure in the flames with vigilance.
“Me? You may call me Young Master Yu.”
Lu Yang’s pupils shrank slightly, “The very General Yu who annihilated the remnants of the Great Qian army, utterly destroyed the Great Qian Dynasty, undefeated in a hundred battles, in a lifetime only defeated by the Nightmare Supreme and Wu Yao, then afterwards pledged allegiance to Wu Yao?!”
The Nightmare Supreme, what kind of person was he? He was a powerful Venerate who almost seized control of the world by confronting Wu Yao and the first Imperial Teacher, and losing to the Nightmare Supreme was definitely not shameful—on the contrary, it could even become capital for fame in later generations.
And since he was only defeated by the Nightmare Supreme and not killed, it strongly suggested that this General Yu might also be a Semi-Immortal!
“It seems you’re somewhat knowledgeable, young one. When you die, I’ll make sure to go easy on you,” General Yu said with a smile. In his eyes, Lu Yang was already a dead man.
“How dare a Semi-Immortal from Great Yu show up in the Imperial City, aren’t you afraid that the ancestor of the Jiang Family will make a move against you!”
If the Second Prince’s seizing of the Immortal Peach was considered a domestic struggle, not worthy of the Jiang Family ancestor’s intervention, then a Great Yu Semi-Immortal taking action in the Imperial City would certainly merit intervention!
Was General Yu not afraid of dying?
“Oh, it seems you do know quite a lot.” General Yu truly gave Lu Yang a second glance this time. Knowing such a secret, that the Jiang Family ancestor was an Immortal, suggested that Lu Yang’s status was really as prestigious as the rumors outside claimed—he was the one destined to be the next Sect Leader of the Seek Dao Sect.
But what of it? The Seek Dao Sect wasn’t even worth his attention.
General Yu looked at Lu Yang with a smile that was not quite a smile. Perhaps because he regarded Lu Yang as good as dead, he was willing to speak more, “Yu State is a distance from the Imperial City, and the news has not yet reached here.”
“We deliberately exposed our whereabouts in Yu State, to draw your Great Xia Dynasty to dispatch the Luoshui Guards there in support.”
“But what you Great Xia could never guess was that we had also arranged for a Semi-Immortal in Yu State. He took action to seal off nearly half of Yu State, trapping the Luoshui Guards, the Yu State armed forces, the Prefectorial Governor of Yu State, other main officials, and tens of billions of Yu State citizens there.”
Lu Yang’s pupils dilated with shock, another Great Yu Semi-Immortal?
Lu Yang knew all too well the terror of a Semi-Immortal; although they only possessed a Dao Fruit Outline more than someone in the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, it was an overwhelming advantage.
Take the second Imperial Teacher as an example, if he were to use his Causality Dao Fruit Outline, those in the Transcendance Tribulation Stage would not have the slightest ability to fight back!
Among the trapped cultivators, none could defeat a Semi-Immortal.
Resolving the crisis in Yu State smoothly required the intervention of an Immortal!
Sure enough, General Yu went on to say, “Jiang Pingan has already gone to Yu State to handle the matter, and he won’t be able to return in less than half a day.”
In the past, when Lu Yang encountered a Semi-Immortal within Great Xia’s territories, Jiang Pingan should have been the one to intervene. However, each time Lu Yang was present, he successfully dealt with the Semi-Immortal, so there was no need for Jiang Pingan to step in.
But this time, Lu Yang was not in Yu State.
The cultivators of Great Yu had long been plotting for this day.
“Enough, what’s the point of telling all this to a dead man?” General Yu lazily said, countless purple fireballs manifested behind him, their terrifying heat causing even space itself to twist.
His aim was not to seize the Immortal Peach, but to destroy it, to let Emperor Xia die in his sickbed!
Countless purple fireballs flew towards Lu Yang, setting the ground ablaze. General Yu, always cautious in his actions, knew that being hit by these fireballs would be lethal even for someone in the Body Integration Realm, let alone merely someone in the Nascent Soul Stage!
Suddenly, a strange, demonic wind blew in from all directions, carrying the scent of decay and death, and extinguished the terrifying purple fireballs.
“This Immortal Peach is an item coveted by my Heavenly Court; I’d like to see who dares to touch it!”
“Who is it!” General Yu sharply looked up only to be blinded by a swath of white brightness. Once his eyes adjusted, he saw an enormous white Qiongqi flapping its bony wings, its golden, radiant tiger eyes stark against the surrounding whiteness.
“One of the Four Imperial Protectors of the Heavenly Court, the North Pole Broad Fortune Great Emperor.”
