Chapter 921: Legend of the Evil Monarch
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Kindly tell, I am all ears.”
“They say that the Evil Monarch is a rare prodigy amongst all of the 10,000 years of Xuan Xuan Continent’s history. Truly a peerless, unmatched talent of his own generation. And he is old and devious, full of rigorous schemes and deep foresight, unrivaled in his heroism…” Brother Lu opened is mouth and all sorts of flattery spewed out. Jun Mo Xie was full of smiles from hearing this, and every single pore of his body felt snuggly warm…
What a pleasant feeling. Although what he was saying was the truth, but it was still a little excessive, and his choice of works was not very apt… What does he mean by old and devious; this Young Master is in the prime of his youth; how can you say I’m ‘old’…
“… rumors have it that this Evil Monarch focuses greatly on his own cultivation. Actually, he was already invincible in this world numerous years ago, but for the sake of improving his own strength, he concealed and hid for 500 years, 500 whole years ah… Haha, just this steadiness of the Evil Monarch is already very impressive! Not flying for thousand years, the moment he flew, he soared straight into the heavens. Not making a single noise for a thousand years, the moment he cried, it shocked the world! Finally in his first battle after returning again, he destroyed such a huge opponent like the three Holy Lands…”
“Hold up… Brother Lu, you just said that… this Evil Monarch was already peerless but he went into seclusion for 500 years?” Jun Mo Xie widened his eyes. The f*ck! When did this daddy go into seclusion for 500 years? How come I’m not aware of it myself? And invincible a long time ago? If I’m really that capable, then will I still need to run?
“The conduct of experts is a profound mystery! But there is concrete evidence on this, and not a single bit of it is false! I swear upon it with my life! The great Evil Monarch is definitely the number one person in the world!” That Brother Lu hit his chest and swore.
The corner of Jun Mo Xie’s lips twitched. Could it be that this person is not the same ‘Evil Monarch’ that was referring to me? There is someone else? He forced a smile and said with great difficulty, “Please do continue to speak.”
“Hehe, there are many people spreading that the Evil Monarch is the Third Young Master Jun Mo Xie of the Jun Family in Tian Xiang City! Ha! Ha! Ha!” Brother Lu cackled loudly, expressing his disagreement on this piece of information. “This saying is just ridiculous! When Jun Mo Xie wrecked havoc in Tian Xiang City, he was quite the figure, but… if we are comparing this Young Master of a worldly family and the Old Evil Monarch, there is still a difference of several streets!”
“No, it’ll be an insult to the Evil Monarch saying that they only have a difference of several streets. The disparity between the two is heaven and earth, and there is no way of comparing them! They can’t even be compared together!” After making this remark, this Brother Lu seemed to noticed that he may have flattered Jun Mo Xie a tad too much, so he added, “What is Jun Mo Xie even? He is just merely a slightly capable Young Master; compared to the Evil Monarch, he is not even worthy of carrying his shoes! Discussing the two of them in comparison is the greatest insult to the Evil Monarch! This daddy will not tolerate it!”
Jun Mo Xie was instantly at a loss for words. This person… was praising him, and insulting him at the same time… how should I handle this?
“The Evil Monarch has the air of an immortal, standing at about nine meters, his waist is wide, he is amiable looking, and his face round like the moon, with a mouth full of protruding teeth…” Brother Lu described, spitting saliva everywhere.
“Um… the two of you enjoy, I suddenly feel some discomfort in my stomach and need to go relieve myself…” Jun Mo Xie held his stomach, feeling as if he were about to suffer internal injuries. This situation was more terrifying than going through a devil’s bite…
Even when this daddy faced all the experts from the three Holy Lands, I didn’t suffer any internal injuries once, but today, under this scoundrel’s words, I’m on the verge of transmigrating back… This is really too impressive.
Casually tossing some silver, Young Master Jun grabbed his belly and slipped away, not even bothering about eating anymore. He quickly went down the stairs and left.
But that Brother Lu just had to holler, “Hey! This young master, I have yet to finish saying… I know insider information on this matter the best; there are still exclusive scoops on the Evil Monarch that I’m sure you’ll be interested in…”
“The f*ck I’ll be interested!” Jun Mo Xie cursed mentally, vanishing with a whoosh. That Brother Lu was giggling himself silly while stroking the silver on his table. I ‘ve struck it rich! To think it’s so much! Hahaha…
Young Master Jun who had heard shocking news but not filled his stomach was feeling indignant, so he found another slightly more lavish restaurant and went up, only to realize that this place was the same as the previous one, everyone discussing and claiming that they knew all the ‘insider info’. Jun Mo Xie had learnt to be smarter and did not continue to fish for information. He randomly found a table and ordered his food. Right now, filling his stomach was his priority. He only perked up his ears and listened silently.
Halfway through his meal, he suddenly heard noises from the stairs. One old man walked up, holding a huqin. He pulled at the bow a couple of times and paused, gesturing a greeting to everyone and said, “As the saying goes, rely on your parents at home, rely on friends when you are out. This old man tells stories for a living, and I’ve come here to invite everyone to listen, if you have money, do give generously; if you don’t, I’m thankful for your presence… Today, I’ll be talking about ‘The Evil Monarch’s fury, the three Holy Lands’ defeat!”
Someone yelled, “Old man, we all know of this; we could almost memorize it already. You should just change to something new.”
Someone else shouted, “There’s no harm in hearing it again, hearing it gets the blood raging every time; it’s quite exhilarating, do get around to speaking!”
That old man laughed proudly and said, “Everyone may not be aware, what I’m about to say today is the absolute insider information of this matter; there is nothing that can be missed! Everyone, please be patient…” Then, he pulled his huqin twice and slowly began to tell his story.
Jun Mo Xie was getting all excited from listening. This story of the Evil Monarch coming from this storyteller had become a tale that shook one to the core! Unimaginable complications, the thrills in the fight and battle, and the grudges behind this matter were slowly unveiled…
The more Jun Mo Xie listened, the more his mind began to wander. This old fellow really made this Evil Monarch sound like an open and honest man, so heroic! Truly everyone’s idol ah…
This guy was a little too engrossed, clearly forgetting that he himself was the main lead of that story. Yet this really could not be blamed on Young Master Jun. The things that the Evil Monarch this story-teller mentioned, no matter which one, was a complete stranger to Jun Mo Xie… He was literally listening to a story that had nothing to do with him, but it was being delivered in such an exciting manner, so how could one not be hooked? From start to end, only a few key words were used to link things together, but everything else was not done by Young Master Jun at all!
Not only Young Master Jun, everyone else present was also thoroughly captivated. “… After the Evil Monarch heard of this, he was instantly enraged! He punched a giant hole into the heavens, yelling. ‘The three Holy Lands are too overboard! This Evil Monarch swears to not rest until I die!’ And so, he ordered for all the experts under him to gather. As such, one dragon, two phoenixes, three tigers, four panthers, five bears, six lions, seven wolves, eight cranes, nine demons led 36 devils, 72 fiends, 108 soldiers, 365 Spirit Xuan and set off immediately, issuing a letter of challenge to the three Holy Lands! The situation was tense, and the moment it set off, the entire world was in trouble and doomed!”
“… after the three Holy Lands received the letter of challenge, they refused to back off and replied, ‘If you want to battle, then we shall battle!’ Thus both sides made an agreement: on the third day of the third month, they shall determine the winner with thirty three rounds of battle! When that day came, the winds howled and thunder roared! Blood flowed like river, and corpses piled like mountains! There was even a poem: The Evil Monarch is enraged, how could the three Holy Lands take it lying down? Thirty three rounds of battle that shook the heavens and earth; the wind remained cold even till now! If you’d like to know what ensued, please stay tuned…”
The huqin began to play. Then, this old man brought out a plate and walked before everyone, bowing to seek some form of tips for his storytelling…
Everyone was completely enthralled by the story, but were left hanging from how he stopped at such a crucial point. They casually tossed a few coins and urged him, “Continue to say, goddamnit, how could you stop at a juncture like this? Hurry up and continue, hurry, hurry!”
That old man smiled courteously, nodding his head and bowing as he said, “Life is tough for me… Cough cough, but since everyone present is so kind… then I shall make an exception once and continue to…”
He had barely finished his sentence when there was a huge bag of silver on his plate. A burly man in robes said, “Hurry up and continue; if you do it well, this master will have great rewards!”
That old man was elated, thanking profusely. He turned around and tugged at his huqin and continuing his tale. “On the last episode…”
Young Master Jun finally broke down…
Because the contents of this story, which was also this ‘absolute insider info’, was because the Evil Monarch’s lover was forced into an arranged marriage, fleeing far away, but was caught and brought back. Apparently some boss in the three Holy Lands had fallen madly in love for the Evil Monarch’s lover, refusing to call it quits until he got here, so the Evil Monarch was enraged for his lover…
To think that it was actually a love dispute…
Jun Mo Xie couldn’t help but recall back then when Chu Qi Hun’s reputation was spreading, and the pugilistic world also seemed to be spreading that it was because some boss from the three Holy Lands had snatched Chu Qi Hun’s wife, causing Chu Qi Hun to seek revenge and assassinate heartlessly!
F*ck, can’t you change the pattern?
Besides… even that old Wu Shan Yun who had lived for 3000 over years… how many people’s wives did he snatch all these years… He should’ve stopped thinking about such things a long time ago, right? 3000 years; isn’t he sick of it? Can that thing of his still stand? It’s already an old item since 3000 years ago… it can f*cking be auctioned as an antique…
Young Master Jun who was on the verge of collapse subconsciously took his last big mouthful of food and drank the last cup of wine and stumbled out unsteadily from the restaurant. Of course, with his alcohol tolerance, this tiny bit of alcohol couldn’t do anything to him even without the suppression from Xuan Qi. But he was essentially giddy from listening to that old man…
