"Lu Yiping, don't go too far!" Wan Family Patriarch Wan Cheng could no longer swallow the fire in his heart and shouted at Lu Yiping, "Even a God Son from the Nine Heavens would not dare act so presumptuously before my father!"
"Who do you think you are?!"
"You actually think you can come to my Wan Family whenever you please!"
"Is my Wan Family somewhere you can visit whenever you want?!"
The more Wan Family Patriarch Wan Cheng spoke, the more furious he became.
His father, Wan Wudi, had suppressed an entire era. He was the number one expert of the Divine Martial Continent and ranked fourth among the Hengyuan Plane's ten greatest experts!
Even Jiang Yu, the Taiyi Sect's founding patriarch and the number one expert of the Hengyuan Plane, would not dare slight his father so.
Just as Wan Family Patriarch Wan Cheng finished speaking, he suddenly saw a terrifying aura burst forth from Lu Yiping. Without warning, thunder roared and lightning flashed high in the sky. The winds and clouds changed color, and destructive power shrouded endless space-time, as though the apocalypse were about to descend.
His expression changed drastically.
"Scram!" Lu Yiping's voice exploded like thunder.
Boom!
Endless space-time trembled.
Wan Family Patriarch Wan Cheng himself seemed to have suffered an apocalyptic blow. He was sent flying and crashed outside the residence, blood pouring from all seven orifices, even from his eyes.
The Wan Family experts guarding outside suddenly saw their patriarch, Wan Cheng, fly out with blood streaming from his seven orifices. All of them were horrified.
"Patriarch!"
The Wan Family experts fell into a panic.
Yet Wan Family Patriarch Wan Cheng ignored the blood on his body and stared in terror toward the courtyard where Lu Yiping was.
"What outrageous gall! That Lu Yiping and his subordinates actually dared attack you!" A Wan Family Ancestor roared furiously and was about to charge inside.
Wan Family Patriarch Wan Cheng hurriedly grabbed that Wan Family Ancestor and snapped in exasperation, "Stop!"
The Wan Family experts looked at Wan Family Patriarch Wan Cheng. Wan Cheng stammered, "I did this to myself."
He did it to himself?
Everyone looked at Wan Family Patriarch Wan Cheng, whose seven orifices were bleeding.
"Let's go back first," Wan Family Patriarch Wan Cheng said. Without even taking a pill, he offered no further explanation and turned to leave.
The Wan Family experts watched Wan Family Patriarch Wan Cheng depart and could only stare at one another in astonishment.
At that moment, the thunder and lightning that had appeared without warning vanished without a trace. The sky was clear, and the sun shone brightly.
After Wan Family Patriarch Wan Cheng left, Lu Yiping returned to his room and began cultivating the Longevity Art.
After returning to the Wan Family, Wan Family Patriarch Wan Cheng went to the ancestral grounds to see Wan Wudi. He stammered, "Father, Lu Yiping said that if he wants to come to the Wan Family again in the future, he will come whenever he wishes."
Wan Wudi was taken aback, and his eyes turned cold.
"The authentic copy of the Golden Flame Divine Fist manual really is on him, but... but..." Wan Family Patriarch Wan Cheng stammered.
"But what?" Golden flames surged in Wan Wudi's eyes.
"But he said the Golden Flame Divine Fist does not belong to our Wan Family." Wan Family Patriarch Wan Cheng lowered his head, his voice extremely soft. "And he said he never intended to return the authentic manual to our Wan Family."
Suddenly, an invincible aura burst from Wan Wudi.
Swept by Wan Wudi's invincible aura, the Wan Family ancestral grounds shook violently.
Wan Family Patriarch Wan Cheng staggered back in shock and cried, "Father, you broke through?!"
Wan Wudi nodded.
Wan Family Patriarch Wan Cheng was overjoyed, but when he recalled Lu Yiping's terrifying aura, lingering fear filled his face. After hesitating, he said, "Father, that Lu Yiping is very strong! He is likely a Heavenly God! I fear he may not be weaker than you!"
Wan Wudi was stunned.
"A Heavenly God? You mean Lu Yiping might be a Heavenly God Realm expert?" He could not believe it.
Wan Family Patriarch Wan Cheng recalled the scene and said, "I'm not entirely certain either." Then he described everything that had happened to Wan Wudi in detail.
After listening, suspicion and astonishment flickered in Wan Wudi's eyes. He pondered, "I never expected Lu Yiping to possess such strength!" But then he said confidently, "However, Heavenly God Realm experts also vary in strength. Even if he is a Heavenly God, I am confident I can suppress him!"
"When he comes to my Wan Family ancestral grounds, with the ancestral grounds' Ancestral Source Power, suppressing him will be as easy as turning over my hand!"
Several days passed. On this day, news spread.
"The Yellow Springs Demonic Sect has confirmed that Su Xiu, the Yellow Springs Demonic Sect Ancestor, is dead!"
The news sent a stone crashing into a thousand waves.
Since Su Xiu, the Yellow Springs Demonic Sect Ancestor, was dead!
Yet Lu Yiping now held Su Xiu's token!
When Long Hengfeng, the Long Family's young master, heard the news, he sneered. "Now that Su Xiu's death has been confirmed, the Yellow Springs Demonic Sect will soon make a major move!"
An expert beside him from the Long Family laughed. "The Yin Ghost Sect experts are already investigating whether he came from the Nine Heavens. There should be news soon."
"I heard the Dark Demon Sect has already confirmed that he killed Grand Elder Sword Demon Xi Lai! The Dark Demon Sect likely will not let this go either."
Yellow Springs Demonic Sect! Yin Ghost Sect! And on top of that, the Dark Demon Sect!
Even the Taiyi Sect would have to retreat before them!
"However, before the Yellow Springs Demonic Sect, Yin Ghost Sect, and Dark Demon Sect make their move, we must find a way to obtain the authentic Golden Flame Divine Fist manual on him." Long Hengfeng's eyes were deep and unfathomable.
The Long Family and the Wan Family were mortal enemies.
The importance of obtaining the authentic Golden Flame Divine Fist manual for the Long Family went without saying.
Inside Su Xiu's residence, Lu Yiping frowned. He had not expected that after several days, the masked person who had entrusted the Heavenly Machine Merchant Guild with auctioning the Order of Ten Thousand Gods and the Legacy Jade still had not appeared.
The other party had not gone to the Heavenly Machine Merchant Guild to collect the Divine-grade Raw Stones from the auction.
Those Divine-grade Raw Stones bore the imprint of his divine sense. The moment the other party took them away, he would know.
However, if the other party never appeared, he could not keep waiting here forever.
Lu Yiping said to the Dragon Horn Golden Ox, "Make preparations. Tomorrow, we'll head to the Baihua Empire."
It was time to go to the Flying Flower Sect and settle the matter with the Asura Gate.
And while they were at it, they could take a look at Black Sea Mountain.
Black Sea Mountain was the former site of the Asura Gate.
As for that masked person, once they came to collect the Divine-grade Raw Stones, they would not be able to escape.
Hearing that Lu Yiping was going to the Baihua Empire, the Dragon Horn Golden Ox grinned. "Master, shall we pass through Heavenly Ox Mountain then?"
Lu Yiping said irritably, "You wish."
Of course, he understood the Dragon Horn Golden Ox's little schemes.
Heavenly Ox Mountain was the sacred land of the ox race. As the ox race's sacred land, it naturally had many beautiful ox women.
Since they would be visiting the Asura Gate's former site, Lu Yiping also brought Lu Peng and Lu Xiaoyu along.
As for Song Ning and the Thunder Pavilion Sword Sect members, once matters in the Big Dipper Imperial Capital were settled, they returned to the Thunder Pavilion Sword Sect.
Within the Big Dipper Imperial Palace, when Big Dipper Great Emperor Zhou Ding Tian learned that Lu Yiping had finally left the Big Dipper Imperial Capital, he let out a huge sigh of relief. These days, he had lived in constant trepidation, afraid that the Yellow Springs Demonic Sect and Yin Ghost Sect armies would descend upon the city. If those armies truly arrived, even he, the Big Dipper Great Emperor, would have to pack up his bedding and leave.
After leaving the Big Dipper Imperial Capital, Lu Yiping's group traveled without stopping. They left the Big Dipper Empire and headed for the Baihua Empire.
Several days later.
Lu Yiping's group arrived at a wasteland. Ahead of them, ruined temples stretched on without end.
