Everyone fell silent when they saw Hao Dan's crazed state.
"You've lost." Lu Yiping's hand stopped moving, and he said calmly.
You've lost!
Lu Yiping's voice reverberated in the hall.
His voice was calm, but it reverberated in the ears of Hao Dan and the rest of the crowd.
Lu Yiping put away the Astronomical Divine Prison Fist and the Divine Fist of Time, and a sword suddenly appeared in his hand.
"The Crimson Flame Sword!" One of the Raging Fire Gate's Ancestors exclaimed.
Everyone's gaze fell on the Crimson Flame Sword.
The hall fell silent once again.
An aura of death began to pervade the hall.
Wan Family's Young Lord Wan Hong felt his throat go dry. Was Lu Yiping really going to kill the Dark Ghost Sect's Young Lord?!
The Big Dipper Emperor Zhou Dingtian hesitated for a moment before speaking with difficulty, "Master Lu, you and Young Lord Hao Dan played the zither to liven up the celebration. I think we should forget about the bet."
However, before the Big Dipper Martial Emperor Zhou Dingtian could finish his sentence, a sword ray suddenly flashed.
The sword light was fiery red!
When the sword light disappeared …
Everyone looked over and saw the Dark Ghost Sect's Young Lord Hao Dan clutching at his throat, staring at Lu Yiping in disbelief. Golden blood flowed out from his throat like a fountain.
"You!" Yin Ghost Sect's Young Sect Master, Hao Dan, pointed at Lu Yiping.
Following that, his head rolled down from his neck and landed in the center of the palace hall.
Blood spurted out from his neck.
The hall was dyed red.
Everyone was dumbfounded when they saw Hao Dan's head rolling off his neck.
Even the Big Dipper Emperor Zhou Dingtian, Wan Family's Young Lord Wan Hong, Hundred Blossom Empress, and the others jumped in fright.
It felt like the sky had fallen.
The Dark Ghost Sect's Young Lord Hao Dan died just like that?
No one saw how Lu Yiping attacked.
However, no one had sensed any fluctuations of divine power just now.
"Young, Young Lord!" Ba Tian, Long Tian, and the others stared at Hao Dan's corpse in disbelief.
Batian and Longtian both swallowed some medicinal pellets and recovered from their injuries.
Ba Tian, Long Tian, and the other two glared at Lu Yiping, but none of them dared to make a move.
"Lu Yiping, our Yin Ghost Sect and Nether Purgatory's experts will pay you a visit another day!" After a moment of silence, Ba Tian finally spoke. His voice was low, and his eyes were bloodshot.
The hearts of everyone in the hall shook when they heard Long Tian mention the Netherworld.
The Yin Ghost Sect had indeed joined forces with the Nether Purgatory!
Lu Yiping smiled when he heard that. "I'll be waiting then."
Batian and the other three took the corpse of the Yin Ghost Sect's Young Lord Hao Dan 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 hall was silent. No one dared to speak, and no one dared to break the silence.
The atmosphere in the hall was stifling.
Lu Yiping reached out and grabbed the Yin Ghost Sect's Young Lord Hao Dan's spatial rings and the Yin Yang Furnace. He then threw everything to Zhang Jin, Zhao Wen, Wei Bing, and Chen Yongyuan. Even the Yin Yang Furnace was given to Zhao Wen.
Seeing that Lu Yiping really gave everything to Zhang Jin and the others, including the Yin Yang Furnace, everyone's heart was in turmoil.
Lu Yiping said to the Big Dipper Emperor Zhou Dingtian, "Today is supposed to be the Big Dipper Empire's celebration, but I ended up staining the hall with blood. I hope Emperor Zhou Dingtian can forgive me."
Zhou Dingtian was flattered by Huang Xiaolong's words and quickly waved his hand, "Master Lu is too polite, it's nothing. Master Lu's Zither Immortal's song will definitely become a legend in the Heng Yuan World. It's a blessing for all of us to be able to listen to Zither Immortal Master Lu's song!"
Lu Yiping smiled at Zhou Dingtian's words.
Zhou Dingtian ordered his subordinates to clean up the hall, and the celebration continued.
News of Lu Yiping and the Yin Ghost Sect's Young Lord Hao Dan's zither soon spread to the inner hall, the square, and the entire Imperial Capital.
In the Imperial Capital, the originally bustling streets had quieted down.
Although the celebration continued, everyone in the main hall felt as if they were sitting on pins and needles due to the incident with the Yin Ghost Sect's Young Lord Hao Dan.
The experts who had harbored murderous intent towards Lu Yiping like Hao Dan, the Young Sect Master of the Dark Ghost Sect, were now sitting there in fear.
Even the Wan Family's Young Lord Wan Hong could not suppress the fear in his heart.
However, because Lu Yiping did not leave, no one in the hall dared to suggest that they wanted to leave.
In the end, the celebration finally ended.
Seeing that the celebration was over, even Zhou Dingtian himself heaved a sigh of relief.
When Lu Yiping's group left, Zhou Dingtian personally sent them off to the Imperial Palace's gates.
Zhou Dingtian's expression was complicated as he watched the Taurus War Chariot disappear into the distance.
In his mind, he kept recalling the moment when the Yin Ghost Sect's Young Lord Hao Dan's head rolled off.
He recalled Lu Yiping's sword light.
When the Taurus War Chariot disappeared, Zhou Dingtian sighed.
He suddenly felt like slapping himself in the face. If he had not invited Lu Yiping, the Yin Ghost Sect's Young Lord Hao Dan would not have happened.
Now, the Yin Ghost Sect's Young Lord Hao Dan was dead!
He could already imagine the scene that would shake the world.
The Yin Ghost Sect would definitely send experts or even a large army. Just the thought of the Yin Ghost Sect's army sent chills down his spine.
In the past few hundred years, the Eternal Plane had been relatively peaceful. However, after today, the Eternal Plane would never be peaceful again.
After the Big Dipper Empire's celebration, almost all of the experts who had planned to stay in the Big Dipper Empire for a few days left in a hurry.
The Imperial Capital, which had been bustling with activity a day ago, suddenly became much colder.
Even the residents of the Imperial Capital closed their doors.
After leaving the Imperial Capital, the Wan family's Young Lord Wan Hong and the Wan family's experts stopped at a mountain peak.
"Uncle Peng, what realm do you think Lu Yiping is in?" the Wan family's Young Lord Wan Hong asked an old man next to him.
This time, not only had the Yin Ghost Sect's Young Lord Hao Dan brought a True God Realm expert, but he had also brought the old man next to him, Wan Peng.
The old man was a True God Realm expert in the early stage. Recalling Lu Ping's sword attack, he was shocked. However, he did not speak for a long time, because he could not tell.
"Also, how did Lu Yiping learn our Wan family's Golden Flame Divine Fist?" the Wan family's Young Lord Wan Hong asked in a deep voice.
The Wan family's experts fell silent.
"Have you reported this to the Lord Wan family's Young Lord?" the old man Wan Peng asked seriously.
The Wan family's Golden Flame Divine Fist, a secret technique, had been learned by an outsider. This was a serious matter.
"I've already reported it to my father. I guess he has already entered the Ancestral Land to report it to my grandfather," the Wan family's Young Lord Wan Hong said.
At this moment, in the Ancestral Land of the Wan family.
The Wan family's Young Lord, Wan Cheng, was respectfully reporting to Wan Wudi about what had happened in the Imperial Palace.
"Lu Yiping's subordinate knows the Golden Flame Divine Fist?" Wan Wudi was shocked when he heard the report.
The Golden Flame Divine Fist could only be learned by the Wan family's Young Lord.
Could it be that one of the Wan family's Young Lords had spread the Golden Flame Divine Fist?
