Fox Demon: The villain at the beginning

Chapter 415 A Daughter from a Prestigious Family, the Zhang Family

"You really think the Qing family runs a charity?"

"You'd just get two women for free?"

At this point, Li Muchen snorted coldly and glanced at the man.

Jin Renfeng, however, remained expressionless.

He understood the scheme behind the two women's words.

Although the two women from the Qing family said last night that they would repay him with their bodies and not ask for any outcome, the final outcome still depends on the Qing family's stance.

To be honest, if he really did touch both of them, there's a high chance he'll end up being extorted.

With the benefit of the Great Demon King's magic weapon, no powerful family would easily let him go.

"That makes sense, but how come it's become my fault after all this talk?"

Jin Renfeng remained silent.

"If it's not your fault, is it our fault?"

Li Muchen shouted loudly.

"if not?"

Jin Renfeng questioned.

"If you two hadn't insisted on fighting with Qing Ruoyan, how could I have escaped the Qing family like this?"

Speaking of this, Jin Renfeng was furious.

To avoid conflict between the two women and the Qing family, he fled the Qing family overnight, without even having time to put on his clothes.

Even Jin Renfeng, who had roamed the world, had never been so humiliated, not even when facing the infamous Ten Thousand Poison Demon Emperor.

However, the three girls caused him to flee fully clothed, and the story was even fabricated.

He originally planned to challenge the head of the Qing family, but that plan was scrapped.

"If it weren't for your meddling, how could this trip to the Qing family have ended like this?"

Jin Renfeng glared at Li Muchen and shouted.

"You rascal, you're still thinking about the Qing family!"

Li Muchen said indignantly.

"If you had stayed over there, who knows what would have happened to you now!"

"Your so-called scheming is nothing more than your guess."

Although Jin Renfeng was convinced in his heart, he showed no sign of admitting defeat. He argued vehemently,

"There's no evidence at all, what's there to say!"

"You idiot! How could you be so confused?"

Seeing the man so obsessed, Li Muchen's eyebrows furrowed, and she looked annoyed.

"Senior brother is so interested in the Qing family, could it be that you really intend to marry those two women?"

Huai Zhu turned her head to look at the man's face.

"As for getting married, I don't have that idea!"

Upon seeing Huai Zhu, Jin Renfeng's imposing manner immediately vanished.

Huai Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, but her face remained expressionless.

"If you don't want to get married, then don't go around flirting with other women."

“Those two women are direct descendants of the Qing family. Once you get involved with them, it won’t be enough to just get rid of them by being called concubines.”

"That's right, you lecherous bastard."

Li Muchen cursed loudly.

"They didn't even look at who they were before they went up to provoke them."

"I'm not engaged, so even if I have one or two close female friends, it's not a big deal."

Pressed by Li Muchen's words, Jin Renfeng blurted out something reckless.

"What are you worrying about, you little brat!"

The speaker has no intention, the listener has the heart.

Upon hearing this, Huai Zhu's jade-like hand trembled slightly.

According to her father's original plan, she was to marry her senior brother.

As his fiancée, she could naturally stand in the position of a wife and discipline her senior.

But to comfort her, her senior brother had promised to send her off in a grand sedan chair carried by eight men.

This promise, while liberating her, also severed her connection with her senior brother.

Right now, she's just a junior sister.

"Yes! I'm just a junior sister now."

"Where do I have the right to discipline my senior brother?"

Thinking of this, the girl looked gloomy and remained silent.

However, Li Muchen had no regard for Huaizhu's feelings and persisted relentlessly.

"soulmate?"

"If those two vixens can be considered confidantes, then all the women in brothels and taverns can probably be counted as confidantes as well."

"She's from a prestigious family!"

Jin Renfeng said in a loud voice.

"What noble lady would do something like throwing herself into someone's arms!"

Li Muchen snorted coldly.

"To my opinion, she's clearly a vixen!"

How could you say such a thing about someone?

Jin Renfeng frowned.

Li Muchen said coldly.

"What? My Li family has a thousand-year-old heritage, a top-tier family, and I am the eldest daughter of the Li family. Can't I even comment on her as a vixen?"

Jin Renfeng was taken aback. The two were so familiar that he had forgotten that the woman in front of him was also a lady from a prestigious family.

Moreover, in terms of status, she far surpasses the two women of the Qing family.

"They're just friends with me."

Jin Renfeng turned his head and said,
"You're just spouting nonsense; aren't you ruining someone's reputation?"
So, any casual remark I make is considered nonsense?!

Li Muchen glared at the man and said coldly.

"I remember someone once said that if he had any connection with Qing Ruoyan, he should jump off Tianhuo Peak."

"Wouldn't you call this just making things up?"

Jin Renfeng's expression froze; he had forgotten that he had said that before.

"I was just using an analogy!"

The man muttered to himself, feeling increasingly uncertain.

"So, are you ready to jump now?"

Li Muchen gave a soft snort.

Jin Renfeng remained silent; only a fool would jump off Tianhuo Peak.

Even with his physical strength, he could certainly withstand it.

But who would jump off a cliff and risk their life for no reason?
"Hmph! You can't even do it yourself, yet you accuse others of talking nonsense!"

Li Muchen spoke up sarcastically.

Having been given leverage, Jin Renfeng's momentum was diminished.

Li Muchen, however, stuck to what the man had said earlier, and continued to make sarcastic remarks.

Jin Renfeng was also helpless. He didn't understand why these two girls were in such a hurry when he had only found two lovers!
"Alright, we're already so far from the Qing family. Arguing won't change anything."

Seeing that he couldn't win the argument, Jin Renfeng had no choice but to surrender.

"Let's talk about serious matters!"

"Serious business? Besides indulging in women, what serious business do you have left?"

Li Muchen said sarcastically.

"The real business is, of course, challenging those many powerful families!"

Jin Renfeng said helplessly.

"Have you forgotten the purpose of our trip?"

Upon hearing this, Li Muchen was taken aback. Annoyed, she had completely forgotten about the matter.

"Now, I have challenged the Qing family, Ji family, Mu family, Deng family, and seven other great families."

Jin Renfeng said slowly,

"The remaining aristocratic families are the Wang Quan family, the Li family, and the Zhang family—the three great families!"

"Hey! You're including the Li family in this? Are you trying to attack us?"

Li Muchen glared at the man and questioned him.

"The Li family head has helped me a lot, how could I do such an ungrateful thing!" Jin Renfeng shook his head.

"I was just mentioning it; the Li family is not my target."

"If the Li family is gone, then we only have the Zhang family and the Wang Quan family left as our targets!"

Li Muchen looked at the man and said,
"But speaking of which, are you really just going to let the Qing family off like this?"

The girl turned her head and looked at the man.

"Otherwise what? You're not really going to let me fight all the women of the Qing family!"

Jin Renfeng said calmly.

Hearing the sarcasm in the man's words, Li Muchen couldn't help but snort coldly.

"The remaining two great families are both top-tier families, with the Wangquan family being the stronger one. Naturally, we'll save the main course for later."

"We still need to take action against the Zhang family first."
Jin Renfeng pondered for a moment,

"However, the Zhang family and the Mu family are both neutral families, so I can't be too harsh on them."

Back when they were on the southern battlefield, General Zhang An of the Zhang family had instructed him on the methods of cultivating sword intent, so Jin Renfeng had a good impression of the Zhang family.

"neutral?"

Upon hearing this, Li Muchen seemed to have heard something ridiculous.

"The Zhang family can hardly be considered neutral now."

"Where do we even begin to talk about this?"

Jin Renfeng asked, puzzled.

“A few days ago, the head of the Zhang family angrily accused Shenhuo Mountain Manor of annihilating the Xiao family and committing a heinous act of extermination.”

Li Muchen said sarcastically.

"After such actions, do you still consider the Zhang family to be neutral?"

"what?"

Jin Renfeng frowned.

"Anyone with eyes can see that this matter has nothing to do with my Shenhuo Mountain Manor. What kind of madness has the Zhang family gone mad?"

"It seems they secretly received a promise of benefits from the royal family, which is why they did this."

Li Muchen said sarcastically.

"When two major factions are fighting, others should avoid them like the plague! The Zhang family actually took sides; that's really stupid."

"If that's the case, then we'll have to reconsider how we should handle the Zhang family."

Jin Renfeng's expression was inscrutable.

. . . . . .

Jiangnan Washing Sword Peak!
The steep mountain peaks rise straight into the sky, like a broken sword stuck in the earth. A waterfall hangs halfway down the mountain, like a silver jade ribbon.

Directly below the flowing water lies a huge, deep pool. It is tens of feet long and wide, with clear water and a misty atmosphere.

Legend has it that when the Zhang family's ancestors were alive, they would use this pool of water to wash away the demon blood every time they hunted a demon.

Therefore, this deep pool also got the name "Sword Washing Pool".

The Zhang family, a top-tier aristocratic family, is located near the Sword Washing Pool.

"Jin Renfeng! I know you are renowned and powerful, but you have miscalculated when you challenge the Zhang family today."

A pale-faced man dressed in a yellow robe with his hair tied in a bun stood by the Sword Washing Pool and shouted loudly.

Anyone can talk big, but real fighting isn't about words!
Jin Renfeng stood in the air and snorted coldly.

"Today I'll show you the power of the Zhang family sword!"
Zhang Zheng, the pale-faced man, shouted loudly, and his long sword was drawn from its sheath with a clang.

A surge of magical power converged, and the black sword seemed to be able to replicate itself, instantly transforming into hundreds of sword shadows that shot towards the figure in the air.

"For your age, to be able to conjure a hundred sword energies is quite an achievement!"

Looking at the menacing sword blade, Jin Renfeng said calmly.

Zhang Jiajian is renowned for its "hundred swords chasing stars," with its hundred sword energies representing the pinnacle of Zhang Jiajian's skills.

For Zhang Zheng to have mastered the Zhang Family Sword to this extent at his age is enough to show his extraordinary talent.

"But you're still a long way from being able to deal with me!"

With that, he flicked his sleeve, and a streak of divine fire, several dozen feet long, lashed down heavily.

boom--

The blazing flames transformed the sky into a sea of ​​fire. The hundred black sword energies plunged into the flames, but before they could even create a ripple, they vanished into nothingness.

Then, the fiery bolts fell heavily!

Snapped--

With a crisp sound, the flames slammed directly into Zhang Zheng's body, shattering his protective shield like an eggshell in an instant.

Then, scorching flames engulfed his entire body.

"Ahhh-"

Zhang Zheng cried out in agony. His body was surrounded by flames, and he swayed and fell straight into the Sword Washing Pool.

"Zheng'er! Zheng'er!"

Seeing his son injured, the Zhang family patriarch, who loved his son dearly, immediately leaped up and plunged into the pool.

After a while, with a splash of water, two figures flew out of the pool.

Having been struck by the divine fire, Zhang Zheng was now completely blackened, with burn marks all over his body.

Looking at his son, who was disfigured and severely injured, the head of the Zhang family was furious. He summoned several disciples and ordered them to carry Zhang Zheng away for treatment.

He then leaped into the air and headed straight for Jin Renfeng.

"My Zhang family has no enmity with Shenhuo Mountain Manor. Why would you do such a cruel thing to my son, Zheng'er?"

Standing opposite Jin Renfeng, the Zhang family patriarch coldly questioned him.

"No enmity between us?"

Jin Renfeng chuckled.

"Old man, are you getting senile?"

"Who was it that accused my Divine Volcano Manor of being ruthless and ruthless a few days ago?"

"As a member of the Dao Alliance, am I not even allowed to speak a fair word?"

The head of the Zhang family said, feigning nonchalance.

"Fair words?"

Jin Renfeng sneered.

"Old man, you know the truth in your heart."

"You might be able to fool others with this, but to say it to me, the person in question, are you kidding me?"

"It seems that you have come here with hostility toward the Zhang family!"

The old man said with a sullen face.

"Originally, I just wanted to challenge experts and hone my skills."

Jin Renfeng stood with his hands behind his back, speaking casually.

"But I never expected the Zhang family to be so shameless as to make baseless accusations against my Shenhuo Mountain Manor."

"Since that's the case, I will naturally seek justice for my sect."

"I heard that you once challenged the heads of several prominent families, including the Deng family."

The head of the Zhang family said coldly.

"Could it be that you're going to challenge me next?"

"Old man, do you really think you can escape given the current relationship between our two families?"

Jin Renfeng looked at the old man opposite him and raised his eyebrows.

"Good good!"

The Zhang family patriarch spoke in an icy tone.

"Since I, Zhang Zhong, succeeded as the head of this family, this is the first time a young man has dared to challenge me head-on."

Jin Renfeng's expression was strange.

"Does the Zhang family patriarch really think he's a weak junior?"

Thinking of this, Jin Renfeng couldn't help but glance at a figure in a Taoist robe in the crowd.

As a member of the Zhang family, General Zhang An stood among the elders, observing from the sidelines.

"How did General Zhang promote me?"

“He witnessed my strength on the southern border. Logically speaking, since we are both from the Zhang family, this old man should already know about me.”

"Now that he knows my strength, where does this old man get his confidence?"

For a moment, Jin Renfeng was also somewhat confused.

“Boy, I know you broke the Deng family’s Ten Buddha Formation and even used the divine fire to fight against the Southern Barbarian King.”

Noticing Jin Renfeng's gaze, the Zhang family head said coldly,
"But you should also know that I am a genuine peak-level demon king."

"Your methods are useless against me!"
