"Legacy Jade! A defensive divine artifact!"
"And a soul-defense divine artifact at that—rare in all the world. Moreover, this Legacy Jade records an inherited divine art. If one comprehends and cultivates it, one may even hope to surpass the Lord of Heaven and Earth in the future." Host Chen Rui smiled.
"However, the consignor has stipulated that this Legacy Jade may only be purchased with Divine-grade Spirit Stones as well."
Just as Host Chen Rui was about to launch into an endless introduction of the Legacy Jade, Lu Yiping suddenly reached out and beckoned. The Legacy Jade on the auction platform flew straight into VIP Room Number One.
Everyone was stunned.
What was Lu Yiping trying to do?!
"Young Master Lu, this... is against the rules, isn't it?" Host Chen Rui's smile froze as he spoke.
Lu Yiping's cold voice rang out. "Who consigned this Legacy Jade to your merchant guild for auction?"
His voice was calm, but everyone could sense the intense killing intent emanating from Lu Yiping.
Host Chen Rui's expression darkened. "Young Master Lu, are you trying to violate our merchant guild's rules? You may be an honored guest of our merchant guild, but if you break our rules, then we can only—"
"And then?" Lu Yiping interrupted coldly.
Host Chen Rui choked on his words.
Before long, Sun Yuxuan, the branch president of the Heavenly Machine Merchant Guild, hurried over, drenched in sweat.
"Young Master Lu." Sun Yuxuan pushed open the door and was about to speak when a terrifying devouring force erupted from Lu Yiping's body, so dreadful that it made his heart quiver. It dragged him directly before Lu Yiping.
Sun Yuxuan was horrified. He was an early-stage True God expert, yet before this terrifying force, he could not resist in the slightest.
He looked up in terror and saw lightning flickering in Lu Yiping's eyes. Then, he lost consciousness.
A while later, Lu Yiping released Sun Yuxuan.
He had just searched Sun Yuxuan's memories and learned that the person who had consigned the Legacy Jade for auction was the same person who had consigned the Order of Ten Thousand Gods. That person wore a Ghost Head Mask.
The same person?
The Order of Ten Thousand Gods!
And now, the Legacy Jade!
Sun Yuxuan quickly regained consciousness. Looking at Lu Yiping's face brimming with killing intent, he was both terrified and bewildered. "Young Master Lu, you?!"
He could not understand why Lu Yiping had suddenly developed such intense killing intent after the Legacy Jade appeared!
Could it have something to do with the Lord of Heaven and Earth?
But the Lord of Heaven and Earth had lived more than two hundred thousand years ago, eight eras apart. How could Lu Yiping possibly be connected to the Lord of Heaven and Earth from eight eras ago?
While Sun Yuxuan was still full of doubts, Lu Yiping said to the people at the auction, "I offer one billion for the Legacy Jade. Does anyone wish to bid higher?"
The experts from all factions looked at one another.
Yet no one spoke.
With a flick of Lu Yiping's finger, ten Divine-grade Raw Stones as large as mountains passed through the room's glass and landed on the auction platform.
Then he left the Heavenly Machine Merchant Guild with Zhang Jin and the others.
Sitting in the War Chariot, Lu Yiping clenched the Legacy Jade in his hand, the killing intent around him not diminishing but growing stronger.
As for the Dragon Horn Golden Ox, its eyes were also filled with Killing Intent as it stared at the Legacy Jade.
After returning to the residence, Lu Yiping suddenly reached into the void.
"Eye of Reincarnation, appear!"
A massive vortex appeared in the void. At its center was an eye that seemed to contain the life and death of every living being between heaven and earth.
Lu Yiping extended a hand directly into the void vortex, searching for something.
Only after a long time did Lu Yiping stop.
The Reincarnation Vortex and the Eye of Reincarnation vanished.
The killing intent in Lu Yiping's eyes grew even stronger.
A night passed.
Lu Yiping stood in the pavilion for the entire night.
"Master, the Wan Family Patriarch, Wan Cheng, is outside. He says he wants to see you." Zhang Jin entered and spoke cautiously.
Lu Yiping noticed Zhang Jin's wording. It was not that Wan Cheng requested an audience, but that he wanted to see him.
"Bring him in." Lu Yiping's voice was calm.
Outside the residence, Wan Family Patriarch Wan Cheng waited for a while. When he saw only Zhang Jin emerge, without Lu Yiping appearing, he frowned.
"My master says he can see you. Follow me." Zhang Jin said after coming out.
Upon hearing this, Wan Family Patriarch Wan Cheng became even more displeased, but he still suppressed his dissatisfaction and followed Zhang Jin into the residence.
When they arrived in the courtyard, he saw Lu Yiping.
Looking at the blue-robed youth before him, who appeared to be only in his twenties, he was filled with doubt.
Lu Yiping glanced at Wan Family Patriarch Wan Cheng. "You wanted to see me. What is it?"
What is it?
Seeing that Lu Yiping did not even exchange pleasantries and directly asked what he wanted, the displeasure Wan Family Patriarch Wan Cheng had just suppressed surged up with a hiss.
No matter what, he was the Wan Family Patriarch. His father was the ruler of the Divine Martial Continent, and the entire Divine Martial Continent belonged to the Wan Family!
Yet Lu Yiping treated him like this?!
"Lu Yiping, how do you know our Wan Family's Golden Flame Divine Fist? Is the original manual of our Wan Family's Golden Flame Divine Fist with you?" Wan Family Patriarch Wan Cheng asked in a deep voice. "Did you obtain the cultivation inheritance of my great-grandfather, Wan Yuzhi?!"
Wan Yuzhi?
Lu Yiping's expression remained indifferent. "The original manual of the Golden Flame Divine Fist is indeed with me." He paused, then said, "But who said the Golden Flame Divine Fist belongs to your Wan Family?"
Hearing Lu Yiping say that the Golden Flame Divine Fist did not belong to the Wan Family, Wan Family Patriarch Wan Cheng was so enraged that he laughed.
Everyone throughout the Hengyuan Plane knew that the Golden Flame Divine Fist was the Wan Family's secret art, never passed down to outsiders.
Fire burned in his eyes as he stared at Lu Yiping. "So, you have no intention of returning the original Golden Flame Divine Fist manual to our Wan Family?"
"Return it?" Lu Yiping laughed. "Why should I return it?"
Wan Family Patriarch Wan Cheng flew into a rage, but when he looked at Zhang Jin and the other four behind Lu Yiping, he still suppressed his anger. "My father asks that you visit our Wan Family. He wishes to see you."
Lu Yiping gave a sound of acknowledgment. "I understand." Then he said, "You may go back now."
Wan Family Patriarch Wan Cheng was stunned. What did Lu Yiping mean by that?
"When I feel like going to the Wan Family, I'll go to the Wan Family," Lu Yiping added.
Wan Family Patriarch Wan Cheng's expression turned ugly.
His father, Wan Wudi, was the ruler of the Divine Martial Continent. His father's words were supreme divine decrees. Never had anyone on the Divine Martial Continent dared defy them. Even Zhou Ding Tian, the Great Emperor of the Big Dipper Empire, would have to immediately rush to the Wan Family and kowtow in audience if his father wished to see him, no matter what business Zhou Ding Tian had.
And now, Lu Yiping actually said he would go whenever he felt like it! Did that mean whether he went or not depended on his mood?
