Chapter 538: Fourth place on the Wu Huang Ranking announced, exposing the shocking secret of the Qinglong Society

As Su Chen's voice fell, a burst of exclamations immediately erupted in the hall.

Lang Fanyun indeed possesses the Wu Huang realm cultivation of Unity of Man and Heaven.

Previously, everyone was curious why he didn't make it onto the Martial King Ranking.

Now the truth is finally revealed: Lang Fanyun's cultivation has reached the state of Unity of Man and Heaven, and he is ranked sixth on the Wu Huang Ranking.

Thinking that this peerless powerhouse is right here in the Tongfu Inn, many people couldn't help but become excited.

And what shocked everyone the most was Shen Lang, who is ranked fifth on the Wu Huang Ranking.

Canglang Invincible Shen Lang!

Although he is a person even more ancient than the Night Emperor and the Day Empress.

Yet he is famous in the Jianghu.

In the Jianghu, each generation of newcomers replaces the old.

Unless it is an older generation powerhouse who is extremely talented and stunning, it is difficult to leave any traces.

And Shen Lang belongs to one of these very few powerhouses.

The Great Battle of the Happy Palace back then can be called world-shaking; the entire Great Ming Jianghu was affected by it.

Whether it was the Happy King Chai Yuguan or the Yunmeng Fairy, who was known as the number one female demon of the Jianghu, both were Wu Huang realm powerhouses.

Two Martial Emperors joined forces, coupled with Chai Yuguan's insidious and vicious schemes, the terror of it can be imagined.

Especially since there were rumors in the Jianghu at that time that the Battle of Huiyan Peak was planned and instigated by the Qinglong Society, leading everyone in the Jianghu to hate the Qinglong Society.

If Chai Yuguan's conspiracy had truly succeeded, the major sects of the Jianghu would have inevitably fought the Qinglong Society until both sides were severely injured.

At that time, Chai Yuguan and the Yunmeng Fairy could truly have realized their ambition to dominate the Jianghu.

Fortunately, at this critical moment, Shen Lang stood up and, with a peerless and unparalleled posture, broke Chai Yuguan's conspiracy and forcefully defeated Chai Yuguan and the Yunmeng Fairy.

This move not only removed two extremely evil Wu Huang realm villains for the Jianghu, but can also be said to have saved the Wu Lin.

Precisely because of this, Shen Lang's fame in the Jianghu reached its peak, and he was revered by countless people as a Wu Lin myth.

Just as Su Chen said, that decade of Jianghu was Shen Lang's Jianghu alone.

His name was firmly carved into the history books of the Great Ming Jianghu, and it would not disappear even after a hundred years.

Long before the Wu Huang Ranking was announced, everyone had a belief in their hearts.

That is, as long as Shen Lang is still alive, he will definitely be on the Wu Huang Ranking.

The facts were indeed as they thought.

When he killed the Happy King Chai Yuguan back then, Shen Lang was only in his twenties.

Now that fifty years have passed, he is still in the human world.

For a time, everyone in the hall began to discuss it one after another:

"Haha, I knew that the Canglang Invincible Shen Lang definitely didn't die."

"Shen Lang is fifth on the Wu Huang Ranking? This ranking is definitely too low; he is the only Wu Lin myth in my heart."

"That's right! If Senior Shen hadn't turned the tide back then, I'm afraid this Great Ming Jianghu would have suffered a devastating disaster."

"That Battle of Huiyan Peak back then was truly too tragic; many sects lost their sect-protecting martial arts because of it and never recovered."

"Yes! Many famous sects disappeared after that battle, and the Great Ming Jianghu experienced a catastrophe."

"Compared to that Battle of Huiyan Peak, the Taihu Blood Case is truly not worth mentioning; only those who have experienced the Battle of Huiyan Peak know how desperate it was at that time."

"I didn't expect that with Shen Lang's strength, after cultivating for another fifty years, he would only be ranked fifth on the Wu Huang Ranking."

"I am even more curious about the rankings behind the Wu Huang Ranking now; I don't know who is qualified to be ranked above Shen Lang."

The third private room in the West District.

The disciples of the Emei Sect began to discuss it one after another.

Zhou Zhiruo whispered: "Senior Sister Jingxu, what is this Battle of Huiyan Peak? Can you tell me about it?"

Although her voice was soft, everyone in the private room heard it clearly, and they all turned their gazes over.

That battle was too far, too far away from the current era.

Almost none of these young female disciples had heard of it.

Before Jingxu could explain, Abbess Miejue spoke coldly first:

"Mr. Su has already explained the Battle of Huiyan Peak very clearly; it all started because of that 'Invincible Treasure Mirror'."

"This 'Invincible Treasure Mirror' was written by the Invincible Monk over a hundred years ago and records seventy-two internal and external martial arts masterpieces."

"Each one of them has world-shaking power and is a supreme divine art that every major sect in the Jianghu wants to obtain."

"Chai Yuguan used this secret manual as bait, spreading the news that the manual was hidden at Huiyan Peak of Mount Heng, thereby causing a sensation in the Jianghu."

"Major sects, even Shaolin, Wudang, and others, sent a large number of experts to Huiyan Peak to compete for it."

"Many experts had already gone mad; they began fighting on the road there, leaving countless corpses along the way, and there was no time to collect and bury them."

"Only Chai Yuguan was unhurried; he buried all the corpses along the way, and by this, he actually gained countless praise, his chivalrous name filled the world, and he obtained the title of 'Living Buddha of Ten Thousand Families'."

"In the end, there were more than two hundred experts who climbed Huiyan Peak, all of whom were famous Jianghu veterans of many years, possessing the sect-protecting martial arts of their respective sects."

"As for the result, you all know it; not a single expert who climbed Huiyan Peak came down; they were all killed by Chai Yuguan, who used various despicable means to extort their sect-protecting martial arts."

"This Chai Yuguan disguised himself extremely well, and after the event, no one suspected him, which shows the shallowness of the world's vision."

"Precisely because of this, Shen Lang's exposure of Chai Yuguan's conspiracy was a great achievement; it can be said that he saved the Great Ming Jianghu."

"Calling him a 'Wu Lin myth' is not an exaggeration."

The Emei disciples all widened their eyes upon hearing Abbess Miejue's account.

Sun Xiuqing said: "This Chai Yuguan's disguise was truly brilliant; no one in the entire Jianghu discovered it except Shen Lang."

"It is precisely because of this that Shen Lang's intelligence is shown to be outstanding."

"If he hadn't turned the tide back then, I really don't know what the Great Ming Jianghu would look like now."

Jingxu also sighed.

The disciples finally understood why Shen Lang is called a 'Wu Lin myth'.

It is not because his cultivation is near-mythical, but because of his achievements—he saved the Great Ming Jianghu with his own strength.

"Being able to make the Qinglong Society owe him a favor, this Shen Lang is indeed something."

Ding Minjun said coldly.

The disciples thought of the 'Zun' character token Bai Yujing gave Shen Lang, and they nodded one after another.

This 'Zun' character token is equivalent to a promise from the Qinglong Society.

With the strength of the Qinglong Society, there is nothing that cannot be done within the Great Ming territory.

Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but feel envious.

The ninth private room in the West District.

Qin Mengyao's beautiful eyes swirled, and she began to calculate secretly in her heart.

As a descendant of the long-standing Cihang Jingzhai, she naturally knows the legend of Shen Lang.

What she really cares about is not Shen Lang, but Lang Fanyun.

Lang Fanyun, who is ranked sixth on the Wu Huang Ranking, combined with the peak-attaining Fuyu Sword Technique, is definitely one of the top powerhouses in the Great Ming Jianghu.

If one wants to encircle and suppress that great demon Pang Ban, one must ask Lang Fanyun to contribute. ===== CHAPTER 540 =====
