Chapter 93 The Status of Noble Families

He once told Cuiyu and Xiaotan that he was a human, not a demon.

But only Li Muchen truly remembered those words.

Even though Li Muchen had great ambitions, and in some ways even made Hongmao somewhat wary.

"Now, I'll listen to you. I've destroyed the Celestial Pavilion and sent all the demon women away."

"So, what are your plans to do to help me next?"

Li Muchen didn't respond to Hongmao's words, but instead looked at Hongmao with curiosity.

She was also very curious about what Rainbow Cat was thinking.

Destroying the Celestial Pavilion and offending the Li family and the Dao Alliance, yet still managing to become the leader of the Dao Alliance, is an extremely difficult feat.

"The solution is simple, since the foundation of the Dao Alliance is the major clans."

"Then let's start with the major aristocratic families."

"The Li family goes without saying; the next step is the Zhang family, Zhang Zheng."

Rainbow Cat's lips curled up slightly; he had already figured out what to do next.

Zhang Zheng was his next target.

He knew that Zhang Zheng was a sword fanatic who had always focused on cultivation, so it wouldn't be difficult to get Zhang Zheng to agree.

If he can defeat Zhang Zheng, Zhang Zheng will likely agree to his request on behalf of the Zhang family.

"You want to beat Zhang Zheng?"

"Although your cultivation level is quite high now, I don't recommend that you do this."

"Zhang Zheng is much more capable than you think."

"And if he really makes a move, he won't show any mercy; his attack will be a killing blow, and he'll kill you."

Li Muchen frowned and immediately rejected Rainbow Cat's suggestion.

In her opinion, going to fight Zhang Zheng was a very foolish thing to do.

Moreover, she believes that Rainbow Cat underestimates the Golden Generation.

The Golden Generation's abilities are far greater than Rainbow Cat imagined.

"Right now, I am no match for Zhang Zheng."

"But it won't be long before I'm qualified to fight Zhang Zheng and the Golden Generation."

"Moreover, this method is definitely the simplest one."

Rainbow Cat shook his head; he knew exactly how to help Li Muchen get up there as quickly as possible.

There is only one way.

There is almost no other way.

"I'm starting to regret it now; I shouldn't have agreed to your request."

"Alright, I'll go back to the Li family in Taoyuan first."

"I need to at least leave myself a way out."

"Don't show your face near the Dao Alliance for now. I'll come find you again after things have calmed down."

"Never underestimate the Xiao family's revenge; the Xiao family is backed by the Dao Alliance."

Li Muchen sighed softly and decided to go back first.

According to Li Muchen's estimation, she must already be wanted by the police.

Since they are wanted, it would be better to go back and make arrangements as soon as possible, or even lay low in Taoyuan for a while.

No matter how powerful the Dao Alliance is, or how much they want to target the Li family, they would never dare to enter Peach Garden to look for people.

It's impossible for the two sides to break off relations; this is the Li family's way of guaranteeing Li Muchen's safety.

"No, I don't want to go back to Tushan for the time being."

"Although the Dao Alliance is dangerous, I am still able to handle it with my current abilities."

"I think I should go find Zhang Zheng."

Rainbow Cat pondered for a moment, but still did not intend to return to Tushan first.

He had only just grasped the essence of swordsmanship and was only partially aware of many things.

Now, he desperately needs someone to help him resolve the doubts in his heart.

He knew he was not qualified enough to discuss swordsmanship, and the only person who could help him was Zhang Zheng, a sword fanatic.

"You're crazy, let's get out of here."

"I heard Li Quzhuo say that Zhang Zhengneng only went to three places."

"If I know the location, he's not there."

"Then you'll have no choice but to return to Tushan empty-handed."

Li Muchen sighed softly, feeling somewhat helpless about Rainbow Cat's decision.

She had always wanted to take the lead, but for some reason, she always ended up being led astray by Rainbow Cat.

She had never seen such a righteous and awe-inspiring character before.

Li Muchen even felt that he himself was slowly changing because of Rainbow Cat.

She felt it was fine if this change would help her achieve her goals.

However, if this change causes her to drift further and further away from what she wants, then Li Muchen will not hesitate to leave Rainbow Cat.

"Alright, I'll do as Miss Li says."

Rainbow Cat nodded, and then sat on Li Muchen's magical artifact.

Led by Li Muchen, they headed north.

Generally speaking, few members of the Zhang family choose to stay in the Zhang family to cultivate.

Because the Zhang family disciples cultivate the killing sword technique, it is not advisable for them to be too close, otherwise their killing intent will collide and affect their cultivation.

Therefore, most of the Zhang family members would choose to find a quiet place to cultivate alone.

For example, Zhang Zheng usually chooses three places to cultivate.

The first is the Li family of Taoyuan, the second is the Wang Quan family, and the third is the Aoki family.

They definitely can't go to the Wang Quan family's house.

The Aoki family was the only remaining option. If they couldn't find Zhang Zheng at the Aoki family's house, the two of them would have to part ways and find a place to lay low for a while.

Rainbow Cat had heard of the Aoki family before.

There are few aristocratic families in the Dao Alliance who dislike fighting and choose to live in seclusion.

The Qingmu family has lived in Qingmu Mountain for generations, making a living by cultivating spiritual herbs and trees.

It is the most mysterious family in the Dao Alliance.

On the seventh day, Rainbow Cat arrived near Greenwood Mountain, led by Li Muchen.

Like Tushan, Qingmushan is a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters.

Moreover, the spiritual energy here is abundant, in no way inferior to that of Tushan.

"Zhang Zheng, you really know how to pick a location."

"First it was the Li family in Taoyuan, and now it's here."

Rainbow Cat looked down at Green Wood Mountain and couldn't help but sigh.

"Yeah, of the three spots that guy chose, Taoyuan can be his testing ground."

"The Wang family can help him perfect his sword intent, and Qingmu Mountain is the most suitable place for cultivation."

"Don't let his quiet and unassuming demeanor fool you; he's always focused on cultivating."

"But actually, he's very smart."

"Don't even think about getting close to Greenwood Mountain. If you go there, you won't be able to come back. Greenwood Mountain has a powerful magic treasure that serves as the core of the formation. Once you go in, it will be difficult for you to get out."

"Unleash your sword intent. If Zhang is on Qingmu Mountain, he will surely come out to meet you."

Li Muchen glanced at Qingmu Mountain and then directly told Hongmao what to do.

Here, let alone Rainbow Cat, even she, or even Li Quzhuo, might not be able to get in.

The Aoki family isn't a place where personal relationships matter. If it weren't for Zhang Zheng's engagement to Aoki Yuan, he probably wouldn't even be able to get in.

Rainbow Cat didn't say much, but simply began to unleash his sword intent.

The sword intent was not hostile. Although he didn't control it very well, it was enough for his sword intent to spread gradually around him.

The next thing to do is wait.

After a few breaths, Rainbow Cat suddenly opened his eyes, which had been closed.

"He's here."

After saying that, Rainbow Cat stepped off the flying magic weapon and looked up at the sky.

Zhang Zheng was seen riding a flying sword, rushing towards him and Li Muchen.

The sword intent emanating from him was not concealed at all, and it burst forth directly, bringing him to Rainbow Cat's front.

"You broke through?"

"Perfect, now we can continue our battle!"

Zhang Zheng's eyes flashed with fighting spirit as he gripped his longsword tightly, already unable to contain himself.

Li Muchen quickly stepped between the two.

"You're a complete madman."

"He has only just broken through, and his sword intent is not yet mature. Fighting you would only be suicide."

"I brought him here to you because I wanted your help to perfect his sword intent. Don't you want to fight someone even stronger than him?"

Li Muchen stood in front of Rainbow Cat and spoke directly to Zhang Zheng.

She knew what kind of person Zhang Zheng was, and she also knew that if she wanted Zhang Zheng to take Rainbow Cat to Greenwood Mountain, Zhang Zheng had to bring it up himself.

That's why she made Zhang Zheng think it through: whether he wanted to fight the current Rainbow Cat or help Rainbow Cat perfect his sword intent so that he could fight the stronger Rainbow Cat.

Zhang Zheng was known as a sword fanatic because he never bothered to fight those weaker than himself.

Because such a person is of no help to him whatsoever.

Now, Li Muchen's goal is to mold Rainbow Cat into someone of sufficient value.

"Okay, come with me to Qingmu Mountain, I'll help you."

"We'll fight again when your sword intent is truly perfected."

Zhang Zheng was well aware of Li Muchen's ulterior motives, but he didn't care.

What he cares about is simply to observe the various sword intents in this world, so as to improve himself and pursue a higher realm.

Among the golden generation, he was not the strongest, nor was his talent the highest, but that does not mean he was unwilling to fight for that highest banner.

Rainbow Cat is the experience he chose for himself.

He believed that he would be the biggest beneficiary of helping Rainbow Cat perfect his sword intent.

"Thank you, Brother Zhang."

"However, Rainbow Cat has some things to tell Brother Zhang first."

"Please listen to this, Brother Zhang, before you decide whether to take in Rainbow Cat."

Rainbow Cat showed a grateful expression and then recounted what he had done in Celestial City.

Hearing Rainbow Cat's honesty, Li Muchen couldn't help but hold his head in his hands.

After all, Zhang Zheng wasn't stupid. If he listened to Hongmao's words and still took him in, wouldn't that be deliberately protecting him and joining forces with the demon race just like Li Muchen?

"It's alright, those bastards, they deserve to die."

"Let's go."

Zhang Zheng's expression remained unchanged after listening.

He finished speaking coldly and then flew into the sky on his sword.

"Miss Li, see you another day."

Please let me know if anything happens.

Seeing that Zhang was about to leave, Rainbow Cat immediately chased after him.

Li Muchen stood there, watching Zhang Zheng's back, his fists clenching involuntarily.

"If it's the eldest or second eldest brother, even if the Dao Alliance really catches them colluding with the demon race..."

"I suppose nothing will happen."

"The confidence of this so-called golden generation is truly disgusting."

Li Muchen took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

She already felt it was unfair, not only because of the talent of the Golden Generation, but also because of the attitude of the Dao Alliance and the major families towards them.

On the other side, Rainbow Cat, following Zhang Zheng, had already passed through the barrier of Green Wood Mountain.

We arrived at a small hilltop, where there was only a very ordinary wooden house and a well.

. . . . . .

Feeling the lingering sword intent around him, Rainbow Cat was somewhat alarmed.

They admired Zhang Zheng's dedication to cultivation even more.

"Brother Zhang, will taking me in really not cause you any trouble?"

Looking at the simple environment, Rainbow Cat felt no dissatisfaction, but was curious whether he would be a burden to Zhang Zheng because of himself.

"A swordsman should not have so many concerns."

"Moreover, I am not the same as Li Muchen."

"The Dao Alliance dares not touch me."

Zhang Zheng looked at Hongmao with a calm expression, but what he said surprised Hongmao.

Although he had long known of the Golden Generation's reputation, he never imagined they would be this formidable.

Li Muchen was afraid of being implicated, so he needed to hurry back to the Li family to test the family's attitude.

But Zhang Zheng was not afraid at all, even though the Zhang family's power was definitely not as great as the Li family's, and was even much weaker.

Therefore, the only explanation is Zhang Zheng's talent and his status in the Zhang family.

"Thank you for taking me in, Brother Zhang."

"Then I won't stand on ceremony."

After learning everything, Rainbow Cat stopped being coy and began to exchange sword intent with Zhang Zheng.

Although Zhang Zheng usually seemed taciturn, he became quite talkative when it came to swords.

As the two became both teacher and friend, time passed quickly, and soon it got dark.

Both Rainbow Cat and Zhang Zheng felt they benefited greatly.

After all, before this, Rainbow Cat only had a superficial understanding of sword intent. Even if he successfully entered this realm, there were still many things he needed to explore on his own.

His application of sword intent and his understanding of the sword are far inferior to Zhang Zheng's.

As for Zhang Zheng, he also gained quite a bit.

He could sense that Rainbow Cat's understanding of swords was different from his own and Wang Quanba's.

This completely different philosophy gave him something new he wanted to try.

Just as the two finished their sword duel, a presence not far away caught Rainbow Cat's attention.

"Zhang Zheng, who is he?"

The person who came was none other than Zhang Zheng's childhood sweetheart and his future wife, Aoki Yuan, the eldest daughter of the Aoki family.

"He is Rainbow Cat, and he is my friend."

"We'll be staying at Aokiyama for a few days."

Zhang Zheng introduced Rainbow Cat to Aoki Yuan, but did not reveal his identity as a demon.

However, by this time, Aoki Yuan had already received news from the Dao Alliance.

"Rainbow cat?"

"So it was you who destroyed the Heavenly Immortal Pavilion and killed thirty-seven members of the Xiao family?"

Aoki Yuan frowned slightly, while looking at Zhang Zheng with anger.

If that's the case, then without a doubt, Zhang Zheng has brought her a lot of trouble.

"Indeed, it is I."

"Please don't blame Brother Zhang, young lady. If it's inconvenient for me, I can leave right away."

Rainbow Cat clasped his hands in a fist salute, knowing that this matter should not be a burden to Zhang Zheng.

But Zhang Zheng waved his hand, indicating that he could sit down.

"There's nothing inconvenient about it. Those bastards from the Xiao family really deserve to die."

"Stay here, it'll keep you company."
