Young Sect Master of the Yin Ghost Sect

The Yun Family's experts were all stunned when they heard this.

Four God Realm experts as guards?!

Su Xiu of the Yellow Springs Demonic Sect had actually sent four God Realm experts to protect Lu Yiping!

Lu Yiping's status in Su Xiu's heart was self-evident!

"No wonder the Big Dipper Great Emperor, Zhou Ding Tian, didn't seize him and question him!" Yun Cheng, the Yun Family's Grand Elder, said. As he spoke, he glanced at Yun Xingyun.

Luckily, he had stopped Yun Xingyun that morning.

Otherwise, who knew what might have happened by now.

Yun Xingyun's expression shifted between light and dark. He had never expected Lu Yiping to be the nephew of that great demon, Su Xiu of the Yellow Springs Demonic Sect.

Thinking of his grandson's miserable death, he sighed inwardly.

Yun Guohua, standing in a corner of the hall and listening to Yun Haitian and the others, had gone pale, cold sweat soaking his entire body.

Yun Haitian added, "I also learned that of the ten invitations personally inscribed by the Great Emperor Zhou Ding Tian, one was sent to Lu Yiping."

The hearts of the Yun Family members skipped a beat.

Yun Haitian summoned Yun Guohua before him and said coldly, "Do not go out for the time being. Also, do not attend next month's Big Dipper Empire celebration."

Yun Guohua lowered his head and could only bow respectfully in acknowledgment.

The next day.

Princess Tai Yan, Xiao Changfeng, and Zheng Yue arrived at Yun Guohua's residence. After explaining their identities to the butler and requesting an audience with Yun Guohua, the butler shook his head. "My apologies, the three of you. Our master has been confined and cannot leave. Moreover, he cannot see anyone."

"Confined?!" Princess Tai Yan and the other two were astonished.

"Why?!" Xiao Changfeng could not help asking.

The butler shook his head. "I do not know the specific reason. Lord Yun Haitian personally gave the order."

"Lord Yun Haitian!" Hearing that Yun Haitian had personally ordered Yun Guohua's confinement, the three were even more surprised.

In the end, the three left with doubts filling their hearts and returned to their respective residences.

The moment Princess Tai Yan returned to her residence, Tai Wuji, the ancestor of the Wuji Dynasty, summoned her.

"The ancestor wants to see me?" Princess Tai Yan was bewildered.

Filled with confusion, she followed an expert from the Wuji Dynasty's inner palace to the courtyard where Tai Wuji lived.

For this Big Dipper Empire celebration, Tai Wuji had also come as the ancestor of the Wuji Dynasty.

When Princess Tai Yan arrived, she discovered that her father, Tai Hao, was there as well.

When Tai Wuji saw Princess Tai Yan arrive, he smiled. "Tai Yan, Sect Master Song Ning and the experts of the Thunder Pavilion Sword Sect arrived yesterday as well. Go see Sect Master Song Ning later. After all, you are also a disciple of the Thunder Pavilion Sword Sect."

Princess Tai Yan was puzzled.

He wanted her to visit Song Ning?

Although she could indeed be considered a disciple of the Thunder Pavilion Sword Sect, her status as a princess of the Wuji Dynasty was no lower than Song Ning's. There was no need for her to visit him at all.

Seeing Princess Tai Yan's confusion, Tai Wuji smiled. "Sect Master Song Ning and the others are currently with Young Master Lu Yiping. After you go over, you can ask Young Master Lu for guidance in swordsmanship. You know Young Master Lu Yiping, don't you? The Young Master Lu Yiping who drew the Crimson Flame Sword."

"Lu Yiping?!" Princess Tai Yan was stunned.

From what Ancestor Tai Wuji meant, having her visit Song Ning was actually meant to let her get close to Lu Yiping?

But why?

"Ancestor, that Lu Yiping?" Princess Tai Yan asked in alarm and confusion.

Tai Wuji nodded and smiled. "That's right. We just received word that Lu Yiping is the nephew of Su Xiu, the ancestor of the Yellow Springs Demonic Sect!"

"What? Su Xiu, the Yellow Springs Old Demon of the Yellow Springs Demonic Sect!" Princess Tai Yan's lovely face changed drastically.

How could this be? Lu Yiping was actually Su Xiu's nephew!

Suddenly, she thought of Yun Guohua.

Her expression changed. Was Yun Guohua confined because of Lu Yiping?

Seeing Princess Tai Yan's reaction, Tai Wuji found it strange but did not dwell on it. "Young Master Lu Yiping's identity has gradually spread. I imagine the Xiao Family and Zheng Family know by now as well."

Su Xiu's residence.

Lu Yiping stood within a pavilion in the courtyard, holding a broadsword in his hand.

The blade was ten feet long, its body an azure blue that bathed the entire courtyard in a sea of green.

This blade was the battle blade once wielded by the Lord of All Gods.

After the Lord of All Gods fell, he found it on the Battlefield of the Gods.

When he found this battle blade back then, it was stained with purple blood.

"Master, the Xiao Family's ancestor is kneeling and begging outside. He brought Xiao Changfeng with him and has already shattered Xiao Changfeng's Golden Core and dantian. He says he will leave Xiao Changfeng entirely to Master's disposal, begging only that Master spare the Xiao Family." Zhang Jin entered and reported respectfully to Lu Yiping.

"Tell him to leave." Lu Yiping said indifferently, "Tell him I do not like people kneeling in front of my residence."

"Also, if anyone else comes seeking an audience in the coming days, refuse them all. Do not let them come in and disturb me."

Zhang Jin respectfully acknowledged the order and withdrew.

After Zhang Jin left, Lu Yiping put the battle blade into the Qiankun Cauldron and began cultivating the Longevity Art.

Although he had cultivated the Longevity Art to its final layer, he always felt that the forty-ninth layer did not seem to be the end of the Longevity Art.

Was there a fiftieth layer?

Yet the Jade Disc of Creation contained no cultivation method for a fiftieth layer.

Over the following days, Lu Yiping remained in the courtyard without going anywhere, cultivating the Longevity Art and comprehending the Great Dao.

In the blink of an eye, the end of the month arrived.

Tomorrow would be the Big Dipper Empire celebration.

When Lu Yiping emerged from the courtyard, he found that Song Ning's strength had improved considerably. As for Lu Peng and Lu Xiaoyu, their improvements were equally astonishing. Lu Peng had already reached the seventh level of the Golden Core Realm, while Lu Xiaoyu had not only successfully entered the Mysterious Realm of Divine Abilities, but also broken through to the fifth level of the Divine Ability Realm.

"Not bad. You've advanced by a small stage." Lu Yiping said to Song Ning.

Before Lu Yiping, Song Ning appeared somewhat uneasy. Smiling, he said, "Without Young Master, I don't know when I would have been able to break through." After a pause, he added, "Young Master, I heard that the Young Sect Master of the Yin Ghost Sect will also attend the Big Dipper Empire celebration tomorrow."

"And Young Master Wan Hong of the Wan Family has come as well."

Lu Yiping gave a grunt of acknowledgment.

Although the Yellow Springs Demonic Sect and the Yin Ghost Sect were both unorthodox sects, they had always been like fire and water, and the relationship between the two sects was far from good. Su Xiu, the ancestor of the Yellow Springs Demonic Sect, had also killed quite a few Yin Ghost Sect experts.

As for the grievances between the Wan Family and Su Xiu, they could not be recounted in a single day.

"How is the investigation into the Asura Gate matter I asked you to look into?" Lu Yiping asked.

"We still cannot be certain, but we have already found some clues." Song Ning hurriedly replied. "The Asura Gate Master and the others were most likely killed by the Grand Elder of the Flying Flower Sect."
