Chapter 267: Family, Beginning
"Forget it. I don't want to ask about your secrets."
Seeing his mysterious look, Li Muchen waved his hand.
"By the way, you are here to attend the conference this time!"
"That's right!" Jin Renfeng nodded.
"Then you have to be careful. There are many children from aristocratic families in this conference. Even if your strength has improved by leaps and bounds, it will be difficult to win the championship."
Li Muchen's mouth curled up.
"Eh? Could it be that besides the direct descendants of the noble families in the Blue Sky Conference, there are other people who deserve attention?"
Jin Renfeng looked surprised.
Is it possible that with his current talent and strength, there are still younger generations who can threaten him?
"It's not like there are only those people in the aristocratic family."
Li Muchen said,
"Like those top aristocratic families, they have many branches, sometimes with hundreds of people."
"How could such a large family only have those at the Blue Sky Conference?"
"Is that right?"
Jin Renfeng carefully recalled the memories of his past life.
In his memory, there seemed to be not many people in Wang Quan's family.
Even in modern times, five hundred years later, there are only a few people like Wang Fugui in the Wang Quan family.
"Sister Li is right!"
Dongfang Huaizhu said softly,
"Among the aristocratic families in the Dao League, except for my Dongfang family, most of them are prosperous, with more than a hundred people."
"So, there are quite a few experts at this conference?"
"That's natural, look over there!"
As he spoke, Li Muchen pointed to a figure at the front of the crowd.
The figure was nearly two meters tall and had strong muscles, making him very conspicuous in the crowd.
"That is the Mu family's Mu Shenguang. He is the son of the Mu family's patriarch. He has a strong body and has mastered the Mu family's spirit-inducing and body-infusing technique to perfection."
Isn't this the person who lived next to the inn before?
When Jin Renfeng saw the sturdy figure, he recognized him at a glance.
Qin Lan had previously made a scene by yelling at him. In order to settle the dispute, he had a face-to-face meeting with him.
I didn't expect that he was a direct descendant of the Mu family.
Then Li Muchen pointed to the other side.
"The woman in green over there is Qing Ruoyan from the Qing family. Their family's treasure-dropping technique is also extremely powerful. It is said that within three meters, no treasure can escape."
"The man holding the sword is called Han Feng, a potential sword slave of the Wang Quan family. Although he is not a member of the Wang Quan family, he is extremely talented. Since he entered the Wang Quan Villa, he has been undefeated among his peers. Even the direct descendants are no match for him. It is said that he may succeed the next guardian sword and serve as the Wang Quan sword slave."
"And the one with green hair is Ji Wushuang from the Ji family, a direct descendant of the Ji family. Their Divine Wind Wings come and go without a trace. Although their offensive power is not good, their speed is extremely fast. They are extremely difficult to deal with."
In just a few words, Li Muchen revealed the information of several people.
Jin Renfeng looked at the three of them and nodded secretly.
Judging from their appearance, they are all under 20 years old, but from their spiritual perception, they have very good cultivation bases, so they must be very powerful.
"But the strongest in this conference are still the other three!"
At this point, Li Muchen glanced at the young man beside him and stopped talking.
"I wonder who those three people are?"
Seeing that she stopped talking, Jin Renfeng asked.
"What, you want to know?"
Li Muchen smiled evilly
"Of course!" Jin Renfeng said without hesitation.
Now that things have come to this, he naturally wants to know who those three people are.
"Then what benefits are you going to give me?"
Li Muchen turned around and asked.
"what?"
Jin Renfeng didn't react for a moment.
"I worked hard to collect this information."
Li Muchen snorted and stretched out his hand.
"So you just want it for free!"
"At least give me some of my hard-earned money!"
So you want to ask for benefits?
Jin Renfeng burst out laughing.
"I wonder what Miss Li wants to do?"
"Idiot, I won't embarrass you! The food at the Shanhai Tower in Chixiao City is pretty good. You can be my host and treat me once, and I'll give you the information."
Li Muchen stated his request.
"Miss Li, you are joking. You know I am from a peasant family and have nothing. How can I afford to hire a lady like you?"
After hearing the other party's request, Jin Renfeng immediately shook his head and refused.
The name of Shanhailou suggests that it is a place where people spend money like water. He doesn't have that much money to host a party in such a place.
"Brother, since Miss Li has made a request, you might as well agree to it."
Huaizhu interrupted.
"Didn't father give us a lot of money before we left? I think it's enough for us to spend."
"That's the villa's property, how can I use it privately?"
Jin Renfeng said in a deep voice.
"This time, we did it to obtain intelligence about our opponents. It can be considered as working for the villa, so it can't be considered private use."
Huaizhu said softly,
"If you really care, I have some money here and can pay for you."
"Sister is more generous, unlike this idiot who is stingy."
Seeing Huaizhu come out, Li Muchen grabbed her arm and stuck out his tongue at Jin Renfeng.
Jin Renfeng was a little hesitant.
To be honest, he didn't care too much about the so-called intelligence.
With his strength, he is already at the top of the younger generation. Not to mention defeating him, there are not many who can threaten him.
Besides, the information can be collected in subsequent games and there is no need to obtain it from Li Muchen.
"Brother, business is more important!"
Seeing that he was hesitant, Huaizhu whispered a warning.
"Besides, Sister Li has helped us a lot, so we should thank her. Just listen to me this time."
"Since Junior Sister agrees, then let's do it!"
Jin Renfeng bowed and then turned around and said to Li Muchen,
"I agree to treat you, but please give me some advice, Miss Li."
"You are such a poor fool. It's really not nice to be so fussy even when inviting guests."
"But I keep my word."
As he spoke, Li Muchen raised three fingers.
"The three strongest people in this conference are Li Jingang from my Li family, Wen Bolin from the Wen family, and Xiao Tianyuan from the Xiao family."
Wen Bolin?
Hearing this name, Jin Renfeng felt a little familiar.
After a moment of recollection, the origin of this name came to my mind.
"The evil young master of the Wen family?"
he asked.
"Yes, that's him."
Li Muchen nodded.
"That Wen Bolin is a dandy boy who is usually domineering and bullies the good, so he has earned the reputation of being a bad boy."
"However, in terms of cultivation talent, he is at the top level, and his cultivation is extremely profound. He uses the Wen family's thunder method to perfection, and his strength should not be underestimated."
Jin Renfeng nodded.
After all, the Wen family is a family of the same level as the Li family and the Yang family. As a direct descendant of the Wen family, Wen Tianlin is naturally not weak.
"You two just had a fight with Xiao Tianyuan, so you must know his background. I won't say more about this."
Li Muchen continued,
"To be honest, Xiao Tianyuan's strength is not that strong, but the Xiao family's patriarch is really shameless and actually let him bring out the family's inherited magic weapon, the Soul-Falling Whip."
"With the support of the inherited magic weapon, Xiao Tianyuan will naturally become a strong contender for the top spot in this conference."
Jin Renfeng also agreed in his heart. The magic weapon of the Xiao family was indeed powerful. If Xiao Tianyuan had not been unable to exert its power, it would have been no problem for the Great Demon King to fight with it.
"As for Li Jingang, he is a direct descendant of my Li family and my cousin. I will not tell you his information."
Li Muchen said with a wicked smile,
"Otherwise I would be a traitor to the Li family." "Ms. Li made a lot of money this time. She said she had information about three people, but in the end she only disclosed one person."
Looking at the red-haired girl, Jin Renfeng said helplessly.
"I didn't lie to you. Three of us, not one less."
"It's one willing to fight and the other willing to be beaten. You can't blame me for this."
Li Muchen said proudly.
"I advise you to think of a solution as soon as possible! If you want to win this tournament, defeating these three is inevitable."
Jin Renfeng's eyes were calm.
With the information Li Muchen told him, he now feels more confident.
Even Xiao Tianyuan is a popular figure in this conference. With his strength, winning the championship is definitely not a difficult task.
. . . . . . .
"The martial arts competition has officially begun. Please enter the venue!"
The head of the Wen family announced the start of the conference.
"Junior sister, please stay here with Miss Li for a while. I'll be back soon!"
Jin Renfeng looked at Huai Zhu who was standing aside and said.
"Brother, please go and do your work. I will take care of everything here."
Huaizhu said softly.
"Come on, Master Brother!"
Qin Lan encouraged him.
The Golden Human-Phoenix rose up and flew into the arena. At the same time, more than two hundred figures rose up from the crowd and entered with it.
There are nine circular platforms in the competition venue, with a diameter of about ten feet.
The nine platforms form an arc, with an open space in the center, which is the waiting area for the contestants.
The periphery of the platform is where spectators watch the game.
Whizzing--
With the sound of breaking through the air, many contestants landed in the central area together.
When all the contestants arrived, the mighty sound of magic power fell on the crowd and rang in everyone's ears.
"There are a total of 251 people participating in this conference. All of them are present, and no one is absent."
……
"Today's competition is the preliminary round."
"This preliminary round is divided into nine groups, with seven games in each group and four players on each game. The winner of each game will advance to the next round."
"Elder, there are four of us in one match, what should we do with the extra three?"
Someone in the field asked.
"Then we will draw lots to decide the matches, and the remaining three will fight three-on-one."
The head of the Li family said in the air,
"Don't think that the three-person competition is unfair. Luck is also a form of strength in this world. Instead of complaining about the competition system, you should hope that you will be lucky enough to be assigned to the three-person group."
After hearing this, everyone had no objection.
Afterwards, members of the Dao League brought a red wooden box and placed it in the center of the open space.
More than two hundred contestants lined up and drew lots in order.
When it was Jin Renfeng's turn, he walked to the wooden box, reached out and pulled out a note from it.
After opening it, I saw the words "Jia Zi" written on it.
"It seems that the matches are arranged in the order of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches."
Looking at the words above, Jin Renfeng thought to himself.
Soon, the draw was over.
"Now, please ask the contestants who drew the A-number lot to go to platform one, and the contestants who drew the B-number lot to go to platform two..."
The referee from the Dao League read out the match arrangements.
Jia Zi Lottery! It seems I am the first one.
Following the instructions on the draw, Jin Renfeng quickly found his own stage.
There was only one person present on stage number one at this moment.
I saw the man wearing a cloak, holding a long sword and wearing green clothes.
"He's not one of those noble family disciples. He looks like a casual cultivator or a member of a small family."
After taking a look at his opponent, Jin Renfeng stepped forward and jumped onto the platform.
"Isn't this the guy who just had an argument with Xiao Tianyuan? He's actually here too?"
Seeing the golden phoenix leaping onto the stage, the man in green looked nervous, as if facing a formidable enemy.
The two stood opposite each other, not saying anything, just waiting for other contestants.
After a while, a tall and strong man wearing shorts and holding a long knife jumped onto the stage.
"This guy!"
Seeing Jin Renfeng, the strong man also broke out in a cold sweat.
Jin Renfeng glanced at the long sword in his hand and then looked away.
Not long after, the last person stood in the middle of the field. He was wearing a loose long robe and it was unclear what magic weapon he was carrying.
"The contestants are all here, the competition begins!"
Seeing the four people gathered, the referee standing in the air announced loudly.
As soon as the words came out, the three people on the opposite side all turned their eyes to Jin Renfeng.
Facing the gazes of the three people, Jin Renfeng stood tall and did not make any reaction.
He wanted to see what the people on the other side were trying to do.
"You two, I'm sure you all know this guy across from us. You also know his strength."
The man in green did not rush to attack, but spoke to the other two.
"To be honest, I am no match for him."
"I wonder if you have the means to deal with it."
"This kid even dared to confront Xiao Tianyuan from the Xiao family. How can we, the independent cultivators, be his opponents?"
The strong man raised his long sword.
"In my opinion, if we don't get him down, we have no chance of winning."
Finally, a thin man in a long robe said.
"Let's join forces to deal with him!"
"Since everyone agrees, let's do it together."
The man in green said,
"Once we have dealt with him, we will have another competition."
The other two nodded upon hearing this.
"Have you guys discussed this?"
Jin Renfeng chuckled and asked,
"If we delay any longer, the referee will probably get anxious. It's better to have the competition as soon as possible."
"Boy, don't think you can win just because you are strong. The three of us together will not lose to you."
The strong man shouted,
"Everybody do it!"
As he said this, he raised his hand and swung out the long sword in his hand.
In an instant, the sword instantly grew longer, becoming dozens of meters long, and slashed straight towards the Golden Man-Phoenix.
"Is this how you use a long sword? This really broadens my horizons."
Looking at the incoming silver light, Jin Renfeng raised his hand and slapped the side of the long sword, opening it with one palm.
At this moment, an invisible gust of wind came from behind and hit the back of his head.
Without moving his head, Jin Renfeng released his spiritual consciousness and sensed carefully.
Under the perception of spiritual consciousness, the existence was suddenly exposed, and it turned out to be a long sword.
"Invisible Sword? I think it's the magic weapon of the man in green robe."
Among the three, only the man in green robe used a sword.
Jin Renfeng instantly determined its origin. He then raised his finger, which was covered with a divine fire, and flicked it lightly, instantly deflecting the sword.
"How can his body be so strong? My flying sword was actually deflected by his finger?"
The man in green robe looked shocked.
"Don't panic, he must have used some magic weapon, but we can't see it."
The robed man said in a deep voice.
