A Celebrated Reputation Spreads Far and Wide
"That lecherous scoundrel Tian Boguang was killed?"
"Is that scoundrel really dead?"
A few people in the restaurant and outside the restaurant were whispering to each other.
Everyone looked on with surprise and doubt.
"It can't be fake. There are over a hundred people from the Hengshan Sect and Mount Tai Sect in this restaurant, both older and younger generations. They all say so, so it must be true."
"Wow, this is really amazing."
"Who can argue with that? I wonder which hero is so capable that he could kill Tian Boguang?"
"Exactly, exactly. Although Tian Boguang is a despicable lecher, his Fast Blade and deadly swordsmanship is so sharp that he is considered a first-rate figure in the martial arts world."
Some people are unwilling to hear this.
"So what if he was a lecher? Is that something to brag about? How good could he be? He's been killed now. I don't think he had any real skills. Why would someone with real skills become a lecher?"
In the world of martial arts, everyone has their own perspective, and when this person said something like that, there were others who agreed with him.
Not everyone had actually dealt with Tian Boguang; they had only heard of his reputation.
Indeed, some people have doubts.
If he is truly that skilled, he would be considered a top-tier expert in the martial arts world.
Whether you join the Sun Moon Demonic Sect, serve the imperial court, or become a bandit, you'll never lack money or women. Why become a lecherous thief?
"Tian Boguang is certainly formidable. His strength is definitely no less than that of some of the weaker sect leaders in the martial arts world. His swordsmanship is incredibly fast. Without some skill, how could a lecherous thief like him, despised by everyone, have survived to this day and made such a name for himself?"
"That's right, that's right. I've seen Tian Boguang in action, and he's indeed formidable. His most impressive skill is his Lightness Skill. The title 'Traveling Alone for Ten Thousand Miles' isn't given lightly. He's hated for his actions, and although he's powerful, there are many in the martial world who could kill him. It's just that his Lightness Skill is so good that he can always escape. He's a lone traveler with no ties, and others are afraid of his revenge and dare not really offend him."
"I wonder which great hero killed this lecherous scoundrel. He's rid the martial world of a disgrace!"
"The person shouting in the restaurant seemed to be Young Master Ji from the Mount Hua Sect."
Who is Young Master Ji of the Mount Hua Sect? This question quickly spread among the martial arts practitioners throughout Hengyang City.
Even the small businessmen and ordinary people on the streets and alleys heard this news from these vicious Jianghu people.
They didn't know what the young master Ji from the Mount Hua Sect meant, but they all gave him a thumbs up.
After all, I heard from the Jianghu man that he was killing a notorious lewd thief and a powerful character. If you let such a thief live, you don't know how many people would be harmed.
Such lecherous thieves are most damaging to a person's reputation. Rumors and gossip can be deadly, making a family wish they were dead. It's far more painful than a robber killing someone with a single blow.
"Oh, it's Young Master Ji! Isn't that the newly accepted disciple of Sect Leader Yue of Mount Hua?"
"What, you acknowledge it, buddy?"
"That young hero Ji is quite a formidable figure in our area. Half a year ago, a group of bandits opened a shady inn at the foot of Mount Hua. They were really blind to their own good and ran into young hero Ji. He killed nineteen of those treacherous villains all by himself and with just a sword."
The news has become somewhat distorted.
But this didn't stop the onlookers from giving it a thumbs up.
"Impressive! Great teachers produce great students."
"Oh dear, your information is outdated."
A street urchin with a southern accent was showing off smugly.
"You all have no idea, but Yu Canghai of the Qingcheng Sect led a group of disciples all the way to Fuzhou to covet the Bixie Sword Manual from the Fuwei Escort Agency. It was only because the Fuwei Escort Agency sent some gifts to Mount Hua during the New Year that they generously sent Young Hero Ji down the mountain. With just one sword, he directly killed the entire Qingcheng Sect. Yu Canghai and his disciples all died on the spot. It was truly righteous and impressive."
Another uproar erupted in the crowd.
With a whoosh, it exploded.
It's all connected, all connected.
"So Young Hero Ji is the one who chose the Qingcheng Sect! A young hero, a young hero indeed! I think he should be called a great hero!"
"It's not surprising that they were able to pick on the Qingcheng Sect and kill Tian Boguang."
"It seems that this was indeed true."
But someone muttered something under their breath.
"This young hero killed the lecherous thief Tian Boguang, which shows he's a chivalrous person. It seems that Yu Canghai of the Qingcheng Sect is also a despicable character."
"Hehe, buddy, you don't know, that shorty Yu..."
Some of these people in the world like to be flamboyant, some like to be wild, but most of them don't have any rules.
Many people weren't even in the Return Goose Inn; instead, they were shouting loudly on the street, seemingly whispering amongst themselves, but actually plotting something, determined to have their grand pronouncements heard by others.
These effusive praises naturally did not escape the notice of the many disciples from the Five Great Mountains Sword Sects in Return Goose Inn.
Abbess Dingyi was a person who hated evil as if it were her enemy, and so were Daoist Tiansong and Chi Baicheng.
Those disciples were all brought along by them, and naturally they were all influenced by them, harboring some passion and justice in their hearts.
Listening to the discussion among the martial arts practitioners outside, the young man felt proud.
Several of the older generation were also very pleased.
Although Abbess Dingyi was embarrassed and apologized for her initial rudeness, she didn't put on airs and repeatedly thanked Ji Boying, after all, he had saved her precious disciple.
The group chatted and laughed, while the young nuns thanked them profusely.
The young nuns felt a warmth in their hearts when they saw Abbess Dingyi thanking the younger generation on their behalf.
The Abbess Dingyi shared a deep and harmonious teacher-student bond, which was comforting to behold. The young nuns, led by Yilin, were also beautiful and pure, making them a sight to behold.
A harmonious scene was unfolding here, Ji Boying wanted to continue talking about some things that he hadn't finished saying outside the door.
Suddenly, a series of crackling sounds were heard.
The lively atmosphere in the restaurant instantly fell silent. Hundreds of disciples from the Five Mountains Sword Sect and the martial arts practitioners who had been scattered around in the corners earlier all turned to look.
A drunken monk, reeking of alcohol, was seen smashing dishes and bowls all over the table.
He stood up angrily, grumbling under his breath.
His swaggering demeanor made those around him feel a chill in their hearts, clearly sensing some pressure. Although this monk seemed outrageous, his inner strength was quite high.
Abbess Dingyi and the others gripped their hands tightly, and Changjian, who was sitting on the table, thought someone was about to cause trouble.
"What? You unruly monk who doesn't follow the rules and precepts, are you going to speak up for Tian Boguang?"
