I Heard His Sword is Fast

The night will eventually pass.

Lu Yiping rode the Golden Horn Chariot out of his manor and headed towards the Heavenly Machine Merchant Guild.

Zhang Jin and Zhao Wen, along with two others, accompanied him.

The Golden Ox Chariot, bathed in the morning sun, shone exceptionally brightly.

Originally, some sect experts walking along the street were proceeding normally. Suddenly, upon seeing the Golden Horn Chariot, they scattered like startled birds. The street ahead became completely empty.

Lu Yiping was speechless. Was he that terrifying?

Before long, the chariot arrived at the Heavenly Machine Merchant Guild.

In front of the guild's main entrance, the branch president of the Heavenly Machine Merchant Guild, Sun Yuxuan, and other high-ranking members of the guild were already waiting respectfully. Seeing the chariot arrive, Sun Yuxuan's spirits lifted. He strode forward, cupped his fists, and said with a smile, "Young Master Lu's return to the Heavenly Machine Merchant Guild brings us great honor!"

Lu Yiping smiled and replied, "President Sun is too kind. Have you been waiting long?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Yuxuan felt overwhelmed with flattery. He repeatedly waved his hands, "No, no, we just came out upon hearing Young Master Lu was arriving."

Lu Yiping nodded, and under Sun Yuxuan's welcoming guidance, he and the four others entered the Heavenly Machine Merchant Guild.

Sun Yuxuan smiled, "Knowing Young Master Lu was coming, I had someone clean out VIP Room Number One long ago."

Lu Yiping heard this and chuckled, "I heard that VIP Room Number One of the Heavenly Machine Merchant Guild is never open to outsiders. It's reserved for your Guild Master and the Young Master of the Heavenly Machine."

Sun Yuxuan laughed, "When I reported to the headquarters that Young Master Lu would be attending the auction at our branch, the Guild Master personally ordered that VIP Room Number One be cleaned and prepared to welcome Young Master Lu."

Lu Yiping smiled and said nothing more.

Thus, under Sun Yuxuan's welcome, Lu Yiping and his companions entered VIP Room Number One.

Meanwhile, in VIP Room Number Two, a young man frowned, "Sun Yuxuan opened VIP Room Number One to welcome someone else?"

"Yes, Young Master. It's that Lu Yiping!" his subordinate replied respectfully.

"Oh, Lu Yiping." The young man swirled the wine in his cup, the aroma filling the air. He smiled, "Is that the brat surnamed Lu who killed Hao Dan?"

His tone was casual, as if he didn't take Lu Yiping seriously.

His subordinate replied, "It is that brat surnamed Lu."

The young man hummed and suddenly said, "I heard his sword is very fast. I'd like to see it. Is his sword faster, or is mine?"

His subordinate chuckled, "When it comes to swordsmanship, among the younger generation in the Hengyuan Plane, who can compare to you, Young Master?"

The young man smiled.

After Lu Yiping and his group arrived at VIP Room Number One, they sat on the sofa in the center of the room. The sofa was made from the hide of an ancient exotic beast, and it was likely a True God Realm ancient exotic beast.

Sitting on it was comfortable and soft, with a faint fragrance that refreshed the mind and spirit.

"This is the hide of a Mi Xiang Beast," Lu Yiping said.

Sun Yuxuan immediately smiled, "Yes, Young Master Lu has sharp eyes. This Mi Xiang Beast is something even many sect leaders wouldn't recognize."

Lu Yiping's tone shifted, "I heard from Song Ning that you are auctioning a token of the Lord of All Gods from ancient times? I wonder if this token was consigned for auction by someone else, or if your Heavenly Machine Merchant Guild found it?"

Sun Yuxuan hesitated for a moment, then smiled, "To be honest, Young Master Lu, the token of the Lord of All Gods was consigned to our guild for auction by someone else. However, we don't know who the consignor is. They came to consign the auction wearing a mask."

"Oh," Lu Yiping said impassively.

A moment later, Sun Yuxuan withdrew from the room, telling Lu Yiping to instruct the steward outside if he needed anything.

After Sun Yuxuan left, Lu Yiping pondered. He hadn't found the token of the Lord of All Gods even in the Battlefield of the Gods back then. How did this person obtain it?

Could they be a descendant of the Lord of All Gods?

If not a descendant, then it's highly likely they are a descendant of someone who was involved in the encirclement and killing of the Lord of All Gods back then?

At this moment, experts from various factions who had come for the auction began to enter one after another.

Lu Yiping looked through the glass in front of VIP Room Number One and saw a familiar figure. He was somewhat surprised. Was that her? The person being welcomed by the Heavenly Machine Merchant Guild steward was Yu Xin from the Medicine King Hall, whom he had met earlier in the Battlefield of the Gods.

However, the elder He Shao was nowhere to be seen.

Yu Xin's arrival also caused quite a stir.

Although the main hall of the Medicine King Hall was not on the Divine Martial Continent, the Medicine King Hall's influence on the Divine Martial Continent was not weak. In terms of alchemy, no sect could match them. Even the Wan Family and the Big Dipper Empire sometimes had to seek elixirs from the Medicine King Hall.

"Young Master Lu, the Young Master of the Long Family, Long Hengfeng, is outside and wishes to visit you," the guild steward said to Lu Yiping at this moment.

The Long Family was as famous as the Wan Family, Tan Family, and Lu Family.

However, the Long Family's main headquarters was not on the Divine Martial Continent, but on the Sky Dragon Continent.

"I will not see him," Lu Yiping said indifferently.

The guild steward was stunned.

Not see him?

But he quickly reacted, respectfully acknowledged the order, and then retreated.

Outside the door, Long Hengfeng, the young master of the Long Family, dressed in a light yellow brocade robe and exuding an imposing aura, leisurely fanned himself with a jade fan. Two experts from the Long Family followed behind him.

At this moment, the door to the room suddenly opened, and the guild steward walked out. Long Hengfeng smiled and asked, "Steward Lin, may I go in now?"

The guild steward stammered, "Young Master Long, I apologize, but Young Master Lu said he will not see you."

"He's not seeing me?!" Long Hengfeng exclaimed in disbelief, "Did you tell him I'm the young master of the Long Family?"

"I did," the guild manager replied.

Long Hengfeng's expression turned grim. After the incident at the Big Dipper Imperial Palace yesterday, he had rushed over overnight, full of excitement, only to find that Lu Yiping wouldn't even grant him an audience!

"Lu Yiping is putting on quite a show!" one of the Long Family experts behind him said with a dark expression.

The guild manager didn't know how to respond.

He hadn't expected Lu Yiping to refuse to see Long Hengfeng either.

Another Long Family expert said coldly to the guild manager, "Go inside and tell him that our young master wishes to discuss the Golden Flame Divine Fist with him. Our young master has brought the Sky Dragon Bone."

"The Sky Dragon Bone!" The guild manager was stunned.

Long Hengfeng gave the guild manager a handful of Divine-grade Spirit Stones and said, "Tell Lu Yiping that we don't need the true manual of the Golden Flame Divine Fist. We only need to view it for one night, and then the Sky Dragon Bone will be his!"

The guild manager took the Divine-grade Spirit Stones, hesitated for a moment, and then went inside to report to Lu Yiping.

"The Sky Dragon Bone?" Lu Yiping glanced at the guild manager. For some reason, the manager felt a chill run down his spine under Lu Yiping's gaze.

"Not interested," Lu Yiping said calmly. "During the auction later, do not disturb me without my command."

The guild manager's heart tightened. He quickly agreed and retreated in a hurry, only realizing when he was outside that his back was covered in cold sweat.
