Su Xiu's nephew?

After leaving, Lu Yiping and the others arrived at the Heavenly Machine Merchant Guild.

The Heavenly Machine Merchant Guild, being one of the most prominent merchant guilds on the Divine Martial Continent, was extremely lavishly decorated.

The main hall was vast, spanning a thousand square meters. People came and went, with many engaging in transactions.

Upon their arrival, a disciple of the Heavenly Machine Merchant Guild approached Lu Yiping and his companions to greet them. When asked what they wished to buy or sell, Lu Yiping said, "Where is your manager? I need your guild to help me inquire about some information."

He then gave the disciple a Spirit Stone as a reward. The disciple, looking at the Spirit Stone pulsing with divine spiritual energy in his hand, was greatly astonished. "Divine-grade Spirit Stone!"

Everyone in the hall turned to look.

Divine-grade Spirit Stones were extremely rare. Even for super merchant guilds in the Hengyuan Plane, they typically only used High-grade Spirit Stones and Top-grade Spirit Stones.

Therefore, everyone was shocked to see Lu Yiping actually using a Divine-grade Spirit Stone to reward the guild disciple.

The guild disciple recovered after a moment and said excitedly, "Young master, please follow me!" He then led Lu Yiping and his companions to the inner hall of the guild, which was specifically used for gathering information.

Soon, a guild manager came to receive Lu Yiping and politely asked what information he wished to inquire about.

Lu Yiping replied, "Over forty thousand years ago, the Sword God Yang Dong received a message via a token from a mysterious person and then entered the Battlefield of the Gods. I want to know who sent that token message."

If they could find out who that mysterious person was, it might be possible to determine who set up the Nine Absolute Death God Array.

Upon hearing this, the guild manager's expression became troubled.

The matter was too long ago, over forty thousand years had passed. Such information was very difficult to obtain and would require a significant amount of manpower.

"Young master, our guild cannot accept this task," he said, shaking his head.

At this moment, Lu Yiping took out a long sword and said, "If you help me find out, this sword will be your reward."

"Divine Artifact!" The guild manager's eyes burned as he looked at the long sword, his breathing changing.

At the same time, he was shocked, not expecting this young man to offer a Divine Artifact to inquire about information!

"Young master, please wait a moment. I will report this to my superiors," the guild manager said before leaving. He returned a while later, accompanied by a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man was Sun Yuxuan, the president of the Heavenly Machine Merchant Guild's Beidou Branch.

Sun Yuxuan was also greatly astonished after receiving the manager's report.

Upon entering, he looked at Lu Yiping and the four people behind him with a mixture of surprise and uncertainty.

Having been the president of the Heavenly Machine Merchant Guild's Beidou Branch for many years, this was the first time he had encountered someone offering a Divine Artifact as a reward for information.

Even some experts in the True God Realm might not possess a Divine Artifact, highlighting their rarity. As the president of the Beidou Branch, he himself did not have one.

"I am Sun Yuxuan, the president of the Heavenly Machine Merchant Guild's Beidou Branch. May I know your name, young master?" Sun Yuxuan asked very politely.

"Lu Yiping," Lu Yiping replied, not concealing his name.

Lu Yiping?

Could he be from the Lu Family?

Sun Yuxuan's thoughts raced, and he smiled, "So it's Young Master Lu." His gaze fell upon the long sword on the table.

He vaguely felt that the long sword looked familiar, but he couldn't recall where he had seen it before.

He said to Lu Yiping, "Young Master Lu, the disappearance of the Sword God Yang Dong back then has become a cold case. Many experts investigated the matter at the time, but they found nothing."

"Now, after so many years, investigating it again will be even more difficult!"

"I will need to report this matter to my superiors."

Lu Yiping nodded.

Thus, Sun Yuxuan immediately took out his communication token and contacted the headquarters of the Heavenly Machine Merchant Guild.

Before long, he received a reply from headquarters. Sun Yuxuan pondered for a moment and then said to Lu Yiping, "Our Guild Master has said that we can accept the task, but we will only help you inquire for one year."

"And you must pay us a deposit first."

Lu Yiping replied, "Alright." He then gave the deposit to the other party.

Lu Yiping had no other matters to attend to. He left his contact information and then departed from the Heavenly Machine Merchant Guild with Zhang Jin and the others.

Sun Yuxuan watched Lu Yiping's retreating figure, his eyes still filled with disbelief.

"President, this young man, could he be from the Lu Family?" the previous manager asked with surprise.

Sun Yuxuan shook his head, "Probably not."

After leaving the Heavenly Machine Merchant Guild, Lu Yiping wandered around for a while before returning to his residence with the Dragon Horn Golden Ox.

Night.

Inside a luxurious mansion in the Beidou Imperial Capital.

Yun Haitian, dressed in silver and exceptionally handsome, sat on the main seat of the grand hall, while Yun Xingyun, Yun Cheng, and a group of other experts sat on the sides.

Yun Haitian glanced at them and said with a grave expression, "I had someone inquire about that Lu Yiping today."

Seeing Yun Haitian's solemn expression, the Yun family experts' hearts sank. Could this Lu Yiping really be a disciple of the Lu Family?!

Yun Haitian said, "He should be Su Xiu's nephew!"

The experts of the Yun Family were stunned, and then their expressions changed drastically.

Yun Xingyun asked with a trembling voice, "Su Xiu of the Yellow Springs Demonic Sect?!"

Su Xiu, the ancestor of the Yellow Springs Demonic Sect, cultivated the Yellow Springs Demonic Art. The number of sects he massacred back then was no less than a hundred! The number of God Realm experts who died by his hand alone was in the triple digits or more.

This Lu Yiping is actually the nephew of this terrifying great devil?!

"Young Master, is the news reliable?" Yun Xingyun asked hesitantly.

Yun Haitian nodded, "It should be true. The fight in the imperial capital yesterday was carried out by his guards, who killed seventy-seven people, including Wang Qishan, the Grand Elder of the White Bone Sect!"

"After his subordinates killed seventy-seven people of Wang Qishan, General Chen Yuan intended to apprehend him and bring him to justice, but he produced a token."

"That token belongs to Su Xiu of the Yellow Springs Demonic Sect!" Yun Haitian added, "And the mansion he is currently staying in also belongs to Su Xiu of the Yellow Springs Demonic Sect."

"Those four guards by his side should be in the God Realm!"
