626 Revenge on the Three Holy Lands Begins (2/2)
Chu Qi Hun, right now, was the undisputed number one idol for many youths in Xuan Xuan Continent!
His name was awe-inspiring, sky-rocking, and earth-shaking! It was like the first sound of thunder on a clear summer's day, rumbling endlessly and filling the entire sky!
His fame was further propelled by the folk lores, poems, and songs created about him which spread through the continent with great popularity!
A man needs be like Chu Qi Hun, awe-inspiring and matchless throughout the world! Looking disdainfully upon all, who could stand shoulder to shoulder with him—ancient or modern? An outstanding assassin in a league all of his own!
These were the earliest three sentences that had first gained popularity. Later on, some geniuses went ahead and added four more sentences to it:
”Killing his way through the Holy Lands after massacring the mortal world;
Slaying Supremes after slaughtering his fill of thieves and rascals;
Elusive Immortals, Blood Ocean, Great Golden City;
All turn into weeping ghosts under his blade without exceptions!”
The first time he heard this poem, Jun Mo Xie was in the middle of a meal at a restaurant. With a loud HA, a half-chewed piece of deep fried dough cake spurted out of his mouth, drawing a beautiful arc as it flew through the sky. After that, he simply grabbed his stomach and roared with laughter…
Dongfang Wen Xin furrowed her brows with displeasure. How could the young master of an upper class family behave so boorishly in public! But just as she was about to scold her unruly child, she saw the prim and proper daughter-in-law of hers. Mei Xue Yan was also giggling madly before descending into full-scale mad laughter. If not for her demure feminine outer appearance, her image would be even more exaggerated than Jun Mo Xie's…
”What's going on? What are you all suddenly laughing about?” Dongfang Wen Xin furrowed her brows and asked.
”Noth.. nothing HAHAHA… It's… HAHAHAHA… nothing…” Jun Mo Xie tried to exercise some self control, but his body shook heavily, and he simply laid flat on the table and lost himself in his laughter. The dishes and cups on the table vibrated and clanged loudly as he laughed…
As the main person involved in the matter, how could he not know how Chu Qi Hun's fame came about… It was the effect of being used as a scapegoat over and over again, with the severity of his crimes growing more and more notorious! First, the crime of offending a Supreme, then a Holy Land. At the start, it was only one Holy Land. Now, it had grown to three. Even worse, he couldn't even remove the crimes if he wanted to… That was the worst tragedy…
To bear so many crimes innocently, if he still didn't get famous, something would be wrong!
At this moment, the three were travelling as low profile as they could, and they had donned some light disguises to avoid attracting any attention. After all, they had Dongfang Wen Xin with them this time, and they couldn't afford to have any mishaps. This was different from when it was just him and Mei Xue Yan traveling together. If there were any dangers, they could always easily escape…
The three Holy Lands were on high alert right now, and they had no choice but to reign in the sharpness of their blade!
Dongfang Wen Xin was a mother of three and her real age was over 40; with some other factors added in, she should have looked somewhat frail and dishevelled by now. But due to her 10 years long coma and the nourishment of the little tree, her looks actually remained in how they were 10 years ago. Her beauty was largely unchanged, and she even exuded the classy grace of a middle-aged woman. Her gentle eyes and eyebrows added an extra delicate and demure look of a young girl to her face.
Although she wasn't an unparalleled beauty of a generation, she was still extremely beautiful and heart captivating. With her son and daughter in law accompanying her, it caused her mood to soar. On top of that, her heart had been reignited with hope, causing her entire person to look much more energetic. If she did not don a disguise, her beauty would instantly draw attention from all directions. How could they hope to maintain a low profile?
Mei Xue Yan was a country-toppling beauty, one of a kind under the heavens. If she went out with her original looks, they would probably be hounded by a pack of love-crazed pursuers. Although they were not afraid of this kind of stuff, it would still be upsetting to the mood. Besides, even if they did not bother about the other stuff, the people from the three Holy Lands would find them and start hunting them down. There was naturally no other option but to proceed cautiously.
The group traveled through a small town. Jun Mo Xie had come through this way before, and at that time, it could be said to have been nearly deserted. There was basically nobody traveling here before. But this time, it was filled with people coming and going and was incredibly bustling. It was as if he had arrived at a different town!
It turned out that during this period of time, due to the commotion stirred up by Chu Qi Hun's fame, the entire pugilistic world had become more bold and adventurous. Even this little town was no exception. Numerous people came and went, and it was seething with activity.
As they exited the town, the group continued forward for a distance. The snowfall was growing heavier, and Jun Mo Xie hurriedly led the way into a small inn at the side of the road to temporarily get out of the wind and snow, out of consideration for his mother.
This little inn was situated in an extremely out of way area. Their business was usually extremely poor, and with the wretched snowy weather as an obstacle, they had even lesser customers. But unexpectedly, the little inn that was on the verge of closing down due to poor business over the past few years was suddenly flocked with customers this year. Fortune rolled in generously…
One could see that the appearance of the super idol Chu Qi Hun had directly improved the economy and spurred public spending…
Something like this had not happened in the world for several thousand years. The moment news of Chu Qi Hun came out, a lot of those cultivators who were bored till their nuts ached suddenly found themselves with something entertaining to do. Speaking crassly, the people running about and joining in on the hype and gossip were much more dedicated than even the paparazzi on Earth… With such a large snowstorm and in this kind of freezing temperature, even paparazzis would not come out…
Gathering news from everywhere and spreading them, rumors emerged in an endless stream; everyone was chasing wind and clutching at shadows, making groundless accusations without regard. They created stories like hot buns out of the steamer; countless different versions of the legend flooded the pugilistic world, with only one element constant in all of them. The main character, Chu Qi Hun…
For instance, ”The Generation's Greatest Assassin, Chu Qi Hun and the Three Holy Lands: The Story Which Must Be Told!”
”The Absolute Insider's Story behind the Three Holy Lands' Pursuit of Chu Qi Hun—It all started because of a chicken's tail feather?”
”The Three Holy Lands' Rage: The Supreme Assassin Forced to Roam the Lands Lonelily as a Wanderer—Who is the supreme beauty granny dropping tears behind him?”
…
The stories grew like a raging fire, spreading from one person to ten and from ten to a hundred, traveling through a myriad of rivers and thousands of hills…Qi Hun means sobbing ghosts
