Wan Wudi

Seeing the Yin Ghost Sect's Young Sect Master, Hao Dan, in such a frenzied state, the crowd fell silent.

"You lost," Lu Yiping said calmly, stopping his hand.

You lost!

Lu Yiping's voice echoed through the grand hall.

His tone was plain, but to the ears of Hao Dan, the Young Sect Master of the Yin Ghost Sect, and everyone else, it resonated like thunder.

Lu Yiping put away the Heavenly Elephant Divine Prison Fist and Time Divine Fist manuals. In his hand, a sword appeared from who knows when.

"Crimson Flame Sword!" an ancestor from the Blazing Fire Sect exclaimed in shock.

All eyes fell upon the Crimson Flame Sword.

The grand hall fell silent once more.

A deathly aura began to permeate the hall.

Even Wan Hong, the Young Master of the Wan Family, felt his throat dry. Was Lu Yiping really going to kill the Young Sect Master of the Yin Ghost Sect?!

The Big Dipper Great Emperor, Zhou Ding Tian, hesitated for a moment before speaking with difficulty, "Young Master Lu, you and Young Sect Master Hao Dan were accompanying the celebration with music, which is a refined affair. As for the duel, I suggest we let it go."

However, before Zhou Ding Tian, the Big Dipper Great Emperor, could finish, a flash of sword light suddenly erupted.

The sword light was fiery red!

When the sword light vanished.

The crowd looked on to see Hao Dan, the Young Sect Master of the Yin Ghost Sect, clutching his throat. He looked at Lu Yiping in disbelief, golden blood pouring continuously from his throat.

"You!" Hao Dan, the Young Sect Master of the Yin Ghost Sect, pointed a finger at Lu Yiping.

Then, his entire head rolled from his neck into the center of the grand hall.

Blood sprayed unceasingly.

The grand hall was filled with the blood of Hao Dan, the Young Sect Master of the Yin Ghost Sect.

Everyone was stunned, staring at the severed head of Hao Dan, the Young Sect Master of the Yin Ghost Sect.

Even the Big Dipper Great Emperor, Zhou Ding Tian, Wan Hong, the Young Master of the Wan Family, and Empress Baihua were startled.

Hao Dan, the Young Sect Master of the Yin Ghost Sect, was dead just like that?

No one saw how Lu Yiping drew his sword.

Furthermore, no one had sensed any Divine Power fluctuations just now.

"Young Sect Master!" Ba Tian, Long Tian, and the others from the Yin Ghost Sect stared at Hao Dan's corpse in disbelief.

Ba Tian and Long Tian had taken pills, and their injuries had already recovered considerably.

Ba Tian, Long Tian, and the other two stared blankly at Hao Dan's corpse, feeling as though the sky had collapsed.

After a long while, the four finally looked away from Hao Dan's corpse and glared furiously at Lu Yiping, but ultimately, none dared to make a move.

"Lu Yiping, we of the Yin Ghost Sect, along with experts from the Netherworld Prison, will visit you again another day!" After a moment of silence, Ba Tian spoke, his voice low, his eyes bloodshot.

Hearing Long Tian mention the Netherworld Prison again, the hearts of everyone in the grand hall trembled.

The Yin Ghost Sect had indeed joined forces with the Netherworld Prison!

Lu Yiping heard this and calmly replied, "Even if your Yin Ghost Sect doesn't come then, I will visit the Yin Ghost Sect and the Netherworld Prison."

Ba Tian and the other three took Hao Dan's corpse, the Young Sect Master of the Yin Ghost Sect, and soared into the sky, disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

Watching the Yin Ghost Sect members disappear into the horizon, the grand hall was silent. No one spoke, and no one dared to break the silence first.

The grand hall was filled with a heavy atmosphere.

Lu Yiping reached out with both hands, summoning the spatial rings of Hao Dan and the others from the Yin Ghost Sect, as well as the Yin-Yang Furnace, to his side. He then threw them all to Zhang Jin, Zhao Wen, Wei Bing, and Chen Yongyuan, even giving the Yin-Yang Furnace to Zhao Wen.

Seeing that Lu Yiping had truly given everything to the four, including the Yin-Yang Furnace, everyone's feelings were complex.

Afterward, an unnerved Zhou Ding Tian, the Big Dipper Great Emperor, had his subordinates clean the grand hall, and the celebration continued.

News of Lu Yiping and Hao Dan, the Young Sect Master of the Yin Ghost Sect, having a zither duel in the main hall quickly spread to the inner hall, the plaza, and the entire imperial capital.

The bustling streets of the imperial capital became quiet.

Although the celebration continued, due to the incident with Hao Dan, the Young Sect Master of the Yin Ghost Sect, everyone in the main hall felt as though they were sitting on pins and needles, their minds uneasy.

Those experts who had harbored killing intent towards Lu Yiping, just like Hao Dan, the Young Sect Master of the Yin Ghost Sect, now sat there trembling with fear.

Even Wan Hong, the Young Master of the Wan Family, found it difficult to suppress his inner terror.

However, since Lu Yiping had not left, no one in the grand hall dared to request to leave.

Finally, the celebration mercifully came to an end.

Seeing the celebration conclude, even Zhou Ding Tian, the Big Dipper Great Emperor himself, visibly let out a sigh of relief.

When Lu Yiping and his entourage departed, Zhou Ding Tian, the Big Dipper Great Emperor, personally escorted them to the gates of the Imperial Palace.

Watching the Golden Ox Chariot gradually recede into the distance, Zhou Ding Tian's expression was complex.

In his mind, he kept replaying the moment Hao Dan's head, the Young Sect Master of the Yin Ghost Sect, rolled to the ground.

He recalled Lu Yiping's sword light.

Only after the Golden Ox Chariot disappeared did Big Dipper Great Emperor Zhou Ding Tian let out a deep sigh.

Now, the Young Sect Master of the Yin Ghost Sect, Hao Dan, was dead!

He could imagine what would happen next.

At that time, the Yin Ghost Sect would definitely send experts, possibly even an army. The thought of the Yin Ghost Sect's army approaching made his scalp tingle.

For the past few hundred years, the Hengyuan Plane had been relatively peaceful, but after today, it would likely never be peaceful again.

After the Big Dipper Empire's celebration, the experts who had originally planned to stay in the Big Dipper Imperial Capital for some time all hurriedly left.

One day prior, the bustling Big Dipper Imperial Capital had suddenly become much colder.

Even the original residents of the Imperial Capital stayed indoors.

After leaving the Imperial Capital, the Young Master of the Wan Family, Wan Hong, and a group of experts from the Wan Family stopped briefly on a certain mountain peak.

"Uncle Peng, what do you think Lu Yiping's cultivation level is?" the Young Master of the Wan Family, Wan Hong, asked an old man beside him.

This time, not only had the Young Sect Master of the Yin Ghost Sect, Hao Dan, brought True God Realm experts, but he had also brought them, including the old man beside him, Wan Peng.

The elder, Wan Peng, was an expert at the early True God stage. Recalling Lu Yiping's sword strike, his eyes were filled with shock and uncertainty. He remained silent for a long time because he truly couldn't judge.

"Also, how did this Lu Yiping learn our Wan Family's Golden Flame Divine Fist!" the Young Master of the Wan Family, Wan Hong, said in a deep voice.

The experts of the Wan Family remained silent.

"Has the news been reported to the Family Head?" Elder Wan Peng asked with a solemn expression.

It was a very serious matter that the Wan Family's secret technique, the Golden Flame Divine Fist, had been learned by an outsider.

"I've already reported it to Father. I estimate Father has entered the Ancestral Land by now to report to Grandfather," said the Young Master of the Wan Family, Wan Hong.

At this moment, in the Wan Family's Ancestral Land.

The Wan Family Head, Wan Cheng, was respectfully reporting the events at the Big Dipper Imperial Palace to Wan Wudi.

"This Lu Yiping's subordinate knows the Golden Flame Divine Fist?!" Wan Wudi was also greatly surprised upon hearing the report.

The Golden Flame Divine Fist could only be learned by successive Wan Family Heads; it was impossible for it to be passed on to outsiders.

Could it be that a past Family Head of the Wan Family had passed down the Golden Flame Divine Fist?
