Two days later.
In the evening.
A shocking piece of news swept through the entire prefecture capital like a whirlwind.
“Have you heard? The deputy leader of the Furious Flood Dragon Gang issued a challenge to the Rain Overturning Sword on the Qilin Ranking!’
“Really? The two seniors of the Furious Flood Dragon Gang, Qian Luoshan and Qian Luohai, have been famous for a long time. They’re already Grandmaster Realm experts on the Black Ranking! How can they have the cheek to challenge a Force Tempering martial artist?”
“Previously, Lin Feng of the Furious Flood Dragon Gang was killed by an unknown expert, and that expert was killed by Lang Fanyun. Isn’t this repaying kindness with ingratitude?”
“So what? Who doesn’t want to become famous in this world?”
“No matter how famous the Black Ranking is, it can’t compare to the Qilin Ranking! Even if Qian Luohai can’t make it on the rankings at his age, he can still become famous by stepping on the corpses of geniuses!”
“It’s been many years since I’ve seen a battle between Grandmaster Realm martial artists. This time, I’m in luck. Do you know the time and place?
“On the third day of next month, on the Long Forest River, there will be an open battle!”
“He’s even a senior of the pugilistic world! He’s too shameless!”
“The Qian Luohai is known as the Iron Chain Crossing the River. Even if Lang Fanyun has the combat strength to match a grandmaster, he still suffered a huge loss in a battle on the river!”
“The few gambling districts in the city have opened their bets. Should we make a bet? The odds are 1:10. If we bet on Lang Fanyun winning, we’ll be rich!” “What if he doesn’t come or loses?
“He’s a One Qi Grandmaster who has been famous for many years. How can he lose to a new Force Tempering Martial Master and even occupy an advantageous terrain?!”
“I’ll rely on Lang Fanyun to turn things around. I’ll bet that he dares to come and win!”
“I bet that Qian Luohai will win! I’ll make a small profit!”
“Let’s go to the Silver Hook Gambling Den to place a bet. I want to win!”
Similar conversations happened on the streets and alleys of Yuan Chang County City.
Grandmaster martial artists were considered experts in the entire Yuan Chang County.
Martial artists at this level were all in high positions. Unless the two factions fought to the death, they would not be able to attack for more than ten years.
It was a feast for the eyes when a famous Grandmaster Realm expert
challenged a genius on the Qilin Ranking.
At this moment, a man and a woman passed by the entrance of the Silver Hook Gambling Den.
The man was dressed in blue luxurious clothes, and the woman was wearing a long white dress with a thin veil covering her face. “Ningqiu, I didn’t expect to see such a show as soon as we arrived.”
“Cousin, you don’t just want to watch the show, right?”
“Ningqiu knows me well. I also want to enter the Qilin Ranking and show off.” “Cousin, are you prepared to challenge this Rain Overturning Sword first?”
“No, I’ll wait for them to finish fighting before attacking.”
“Cousin, you’re too sinister!”
“No, I’m just watching from the sidelines.”
“You’re right,” the woman in the white dress said angrily.
Her name was Su Ningqiu. She and her elder male cousin, Su Tianqi, were both disciples of the Su family, one of the three aristocratic families in Cloud Prefecture. At the same time, they were also core disciples of the Heavenly Profound Sect.
Her cousin had clearly reached the Greater Mastery of Force Tempering at a young age, but his style of doing things did not have the demeanor of an expert.
He wanted to be on the Qilin Ranking, but he did not challenge the person on the ranking directly. Instead, he wanted to reap the benefits.
“Ningqiu, just watch Cousin show off his might!” Su Tianqi laughed loudly.
In this world, martial strength reigned supreme. The winner was King.
“Cousin, I’m afraid it’s meaningless to win like this, right?” Su Ningqiu was helpless.
“Ningqiu, that’s not right. Do you know that Lang Fanyun cultivates the
Heavenly River Rain Overturning Sword Technique!” Su Tianqi said seriously.
Su Ningqiu’s expression changed slightly when she heard this, “Could it be the Heavenly River Rain Overturning Sword Technique of the Heavenly Saint Sect?”
Su Tianqi nodded and said, “That’s right! Back then, when the Heavenly Saint Sect was at its peak) it was divided into the Five Elements Hall, the Three Wonders Hall, and the Yin Yang Hall according to the cultivation method attribute.”
“Our Heavenly Profound Sect is only a branch of the Five Elements Hall.”
“To be able to match a martial artist at the Greater Mastery of Force Tempering with Force Tempering, one has to at least cultivate a high-grade cultivation method.”
“Lang Fanyun is only at the Force Tempering level, but he can kill experts comparable to One Qi Grandmasters. He must have cultivated the top cultivation method of the Five Elements Hall, the Heavenly River Rain Overturning Sword Technique.”
“Although I’ve reached the Greater Mastery of Force Tempering and cultivated a top cultivation method,
“if I really faced Lang Fanyun on the river, I might lose.”
“If Lang Fanyun is the successor of the Heavenly Saint Grotto-Heaven, he might have other trump cards.”
“Challenging him rashly might put my life in danger.”
“Heavenly Saint Grotto-Heaven?” Su Ningqiu was puzzled.
“Back then, the Heavenly Saint Sect and the Great Qin Empire joined forces to challenge all the aristocratic families in the East Victory Continent. After they were defeated, the Heavenly Saint Sect was split into three.”
“The two Hall Masters of the Yin and Yang Palace led their disciples to the External Endless Sea.”
“The Three Wonders Hall disbanded on the spot and became the various sects and aristocratic families that were spread throughout the three countries.”
“As for the five Hall Masters of the Five Elements Hall, they joined forces to break through this world and establish the Heavenly Saint Grotto -Heaven. From then on, they were isolated from the world.”
“However, every time the Qian Heaven Palace is about to open, the successor of the Heavenly Saint Grotto-Heaven will enter the world.”
“When the Qian Heaven Palace closes, he will return to the grotto-heaven.”
“This is a secret I heard from the ancestor. Don’t spread it.”
Su Tianqi explained.
“In that case, what if Lang Fanyun is really the successor of the Heavenly Saint Grotto-Heaven? Aren’t you afraid that the Heavenly Saint Grotto-Heaven will take revenge if you kill him?” Su Ningqiu was puzzled.
“What’s there to be afraid of? As long as the Weapon Master doesn’t take
action, the Heavenly Saint Grotto-Heaven won’t care. Moreover, even it the Martial God of the Heavenly Saint Grotto-Heaven descends, he might not be a match for a high-grade Weapon Master in this world. It’s still unknown if they dare to descend,” Su Tianqi said with a smile.
“I see.”
Su Ningqiu was enlightened.
At the same time, Yan Baichuan looked for Han Zhao.
Ever since the last incident, Han Zhao had more reservations towards him..
