This old man in gray who had just entered Tiantang City was, without a doubt, the real Dugu Chou.
Due to the sudden reappearance of the long-lost Dictum of Death, the murderous intent that had lain dormant in his heart for a long time made Dugu Chou feel that his body and mind were shaken once more.
It was also at this moment that he suddenly realized a fact. He had been called a peerless expert by the world for a long time, but when it came to fame and legendary status, he seemed to still be quite a distance away from Sun Changkong back then!
At the very least, he could not do it. After so many years of passing away, he could only rely on the hint of murderous intent hidden in the Dictum of Death to spread it across the entire continent, shocking the entire continent's assassins and causing them to flock to him!
It was because of this that Dugu Chou's long-dormant thoughts turned once more and he descended the mountain.
"I thought that I had reached the pinnacle of this world, that there was no longer a path ahead of me. Therefore, while I'm here with you, I'm also waiting for my end. When the day comes, I'll bury myself under this tree and truly be with you forever. "
"But now, I know that there's a realm in this world that's even higher than mine. It turns out that there's still a path ahead of me."
"Therefore, I want to see what the scenery of my unfinished path is like."
"Don't worry. Whether I succeed or not, no matter what the scenery is like, I'll come back to accompany you three years later."
Dugu Chou stood before the grave and left behind these words. He then carried the treasured sword that had been sealed for five hundred years and walked out of the mysterious valley.
Throughout his journey until he stepped into Tiantang City, his heart had been calm and unruffled.
There was nothing in this world that could move Dugu Chou and cause ripples in his heart.
However, the moment Dugu Chou stepped into Tiantang City's territory, he felt something strange.
Everything that he saw and heard before him seemed to be completely different from what he knew!
This world … was completely different! …
It was strange!
It was strange!
"Could it be that the memory and eyesight of people nowadays are unimaginably good? I haven't stepped foot in the martial world for five hundred years, but they still remember me! "
This was Dugu Chou's initial thought, but he was enlightened later on. "This isn't what I did! It's just someone forcing me to take the blame! "
Then, a thought popped up in his mind, "Then who was the one who put the blame on me?"
His next thought was a terrifying conspiracy theory. But how did this person know that I would come? He even grasped the timing so perfectly. Could it be that in this world, there was actually someone who could track me and completely grasp my movements?! This is simply inconceivable, preposterous … "
His final thought was, "There is no such person in this world. It is probably a coincidence. The mastermind did not know that I would come. He just threw the blame on a legendary person out of habit. After all, I have not shown myself for too long. Perhaps I have already passed away. It is a clever move to throw the blame on me! However, the enemy's arrangements are so meticulous. Now that I've reappeared, I'm bound to be in big trouble … However, so what if there's trouble? In this world, is there any trouble that I can't handle?! "
Having thought through everything, Dugu Chou, who had a clear mind, did not plan to conceal his whereabouts anymore.
'Since everyone knows that I've reappeared in this world, everyone knows me, and everyone knows that I'm staying here, then so be it.'
I'll stay here and live here openly with my original face. I'll see who in this world dares to cause trouble for me!
'Is there really a trouble in this world that I can't afford to offend?'
'If there really is, then it will be the most valuable thing of this trip!'
'If there really is, then it will be the most valuable thing of this trip!'
…
Just like that, Dugu Chou moved into the best room in the inn and stayed there peacefully.
The inn that Dugu Chou stayed in was neither big nor small. It was located right in the middle of the outer city, outside the inner city. It was not exactly luxurious, but it was not deserted either. However, from the moment Dugu Chou checked into the inn, the inn had instantly turned into the martial world's holy land!
Many Jianghu people came from all directions just to take a look at this inn from afar. Then, they left with a sigh on their faces. However, with every step they took, they turned their heads back. They were full of emotions, their interest waning. It was thought-provoking.
'Dugu Chou!
That's the legendary Dugu Chou! '
'If it's possible, I'd like to stay in this inn as well, but it's too deliberate and pretentious to go there now. It'll only provoke disgust and bring about my own destruction. Forget it …'
As for the martial world people who happened to be staying in the inn, they were thinking of a different matter.
With Dugu Chou staying here, even if they were to eat and drink as they usually did, they were afraid that they would disturb the other party. Even if they wanted to let out a fart in the middle of the night, they would have to hold it in, for a moment of carelessness might bring about a fatal disaster. The discomfort was indescribable.
Therefore, from the second day onwards, the martial world people who were initially proud of staying in the same inn as Dugu Chou found excuses to check out.
A myth was a myth; of course, it was good. However, it was best if one only existed in a myth.
Once a myth was in front of them and interfered with the lives of the common people, the only outcome would be horror!
Everything else aside, just imagine that if someone were to fight Dugu Chou here, the shockwave alone would be enough to kill them eight hundred times over …
They could not afford to offend him!
Since they knew that they could not afford to offend him, they had better hide as far away as they could, away from this place of trouble. Yes, this place that was destined to be a place of trouble!
…
By the afternoon of the second day, there was no one else in the inn other than the innkeeper, the staff, and a handful of people. The only guest left was Brother Dugu Chou!
Just when the innkeeper was certain that his inn wouldn't have any more business in the short term, a middle-aged man calmly went through the check-in procedures under the astonished gazes of everyone in the inn and officially moved into the inn.
The middle-aged man did not stop after he entered his room. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he knocked on Dugu Chou's door and asked, "Is anyone in?"
The innkeeper craned his neck to watch from below, thinking, 'I don't think I've told you which room Dugu Chou is staying in. How did you find it so accurately? Could it be that you're a demigod? '
The door opened.
The grey-clothed elder appeared at the door and asked with a frown, "Who are you?"
