Chapter 304: Great Demon King, Heart of Beishan The companion of the Great Demon King is also an extremely rare existence in the continuation of reincarnation. Whether in the human race or the demon race, the Demon King is the most powerful one. However, the Great Demon King is even stronger than him. Only the Demon King-level strongman who can mobilize the power of heaven and earth can be called the Great Demon King. Among the human and demon races combined, there are currently only four who can be called the Great Demon King. There are Tushan Honghong, the lord of Tushan, Shi Kuan, the demon emperor of Beishan, the Ten Thousand Poison Demon King of the South, and Fan Yunfei, the prince of the Western Region. Each of them is a powerful being that can dominate one side and destroy the entire human race. Among the four demon kings, only Fan Yunfei and Shi Kuan have reincarnated partners. The girl in front of him was the only one of the Great Demon King's companions among the many people who had reincarnated to continue their relationship. It is not an exaggeration to call it a golden legend. "Elder Wen is so generous! He sent the only two companions of the Great Demon King to me right away."
Jin Renfeng exclaimed in his heart. The biggest advantage of a person who reincarnates to continue a relationship is that he or she is born with some of the demonic powers of the person with whom the relationship is continued. After development, this part of demonic power can be directly converted into one's own strength. Generally speaking, the stronger the object of continuation of the relationship, the stronger the demonic power obtained from the continuation of the relationship. As the continuation partner of Beishan Demon Emperor, one of the Four Emperors, this princess of the Demon Control Kingdom naturally possesses some of the demonic power of Beishan Demon Emperor. If he could be discovered, he would definitely have great fighting power. He could be said to be a natural born strongman. Although Elder Wen himself might not be aware of this, his actions did help Shenhuoshan Villa! "Unfortunately, in my memory, this princess of the Yuyao Kingdom was the reincarnation promised by the Beishan Demon Emperor when he was a child." "In this way, she will inherit the demonic power of the Beishan Demon Emperor in his childhood before he became the Demon Emperor." The demonic power for reincarnation and continuation of the relationship is based on the time when the wish is made. The Princess of the Demon Control Kingdom and the Demon Emperor made the wish of reincarnation and continuation of the relationship when they were young, so what they inherited was naturally Shi Kuan's demonic power from his childhood. It is impossible to compare with Shi Kuan after he became the Demon King. As a result, the Demon King's status as his partner is greatly reduced. "However, judging from the fact that Shi Kuan was born more than a decade ago and his ability to sweep across the rebellious army of Beishan, even Shi Kuan in his childhood should not be underestimated." "It's probably not a problem to reach the level of a great demon king." The strength of the demon race cannot be judged solely by age and appearance. For example, Tushan Yaya has been keeping her childhood appearance for some special reasons, but in fact, her demonic power has surpassed most of the great demon kings. Similarly, Shi Kuan, who grew into a Demon King-level powerhouse in just over a decade, must have been a very powerful being in his childhood. "By the way, this girl said before that her magic weapon of renewal was taken away by Mr. Zhang. Doesn't that mean that the Heart of Beishan was taken away by a rich man?" Thinking of this, Jin Renfeng showed a strange look on his face. The Heart of Beishan is not comparable to any ordinary magic weapon.
This treasure is the medium through which the Demon Emperor of Beishan mobilizes the power of heaven and earth. It is the key to advancing from the Demon Emperor to the Demon Emperor of Heaven and Earth. Li Muchen seized the Heart of Beishan from the Demon Emperor Shi Kuan and only then upgraded the stone demon puppet to the level of the Great Demon King. This is enough to show the power of this treasure. Among the human race, the only treasure that can rival the Heart of the North Mountain is the Sword of Kingship. However, such a precious thing was actually taken away by a wealthy man named Zhang? It's as funny as if a nuclear warhead was snatched away by a gangster with a machete. "Such a precious treasure cannot be left in the hands of a rich man. We must find a way to get it back." Jin Renfeng thought to himself. This treasure is the means for the Beishan Demon Emperor to be promoted to the Great Demon King. If he could get the Heart of Beishan back, in the future, maybe he could use it to step into the realm of the Demon King of Heaven and Earth. "Master, if the gem is lost, is there any problem?" Seeing the young man staring at her without saying a word for a long time, the girl asked timidly. "It won't have any effect on you, but it will cause some trouble for me." Jin Renfeng came back to his senses and spoke. "After all, it's hard to tell whether what you just said is true or false." "Everything I said before is true!" The girl said anxiously. "I will believe what you said before." Jin Renfeng nodded. "But girl, since that rich man took your gem, it should be enough to exchange for a lot of money. Why are you dressed like this?" "That Mr. Zhang is a black-hearted man. There is no way he would give us any money." "You clearly took the gem, but you insisted that it was worthless and was just a piece of stone." "I just fooled him for nothing." The girl looked lost. "This year is another disaster year. The crops in the fields have no water and have all dried up." "All the food in the house has been eaten up, and we can't pay the 30% tax and 40% land rent." "Mr. Zhang brought people and forcibly took away the family's remaining property and five acres of good farmland." "30% tax?" Jin Renfeng looked surprised. "The Dao League stipulates that the tax rate has always been only 3%, less than 10%. Where does this 30% tax come from?" "I don't know either. It was Mr. Zhang who said that. He is the head of the village and is responsible for the taxation of the village."
The girl said ignorantly. "Could it be that the Dao League's land taxes have increased significantly in recent years?" Jin Renfeng looked puzzled. In the years since he left the village, he has not paid attention to the increase in farmers' land taxes. "Big Brother, our Dao League's tax rate has always been three percent, and it has not changed over the years!" "But the tax revenue in this area is not determined by the Dao League." Guan Pengyun on the side interrupted. "How to say?" Jin Renfeng turned his head. "Although the Dao League manages all human affairs, all of our members are cultivators. There are too few of them to collect taxes from every village and county." "So the tax collection is done by mortal officials." Guan Pengyun explained, "For example, the village's taxation is handled by the village head." "In the human area, there are countless small villages and towns like this, and there are also countless petty officials responsible for collecting taxes." "When there are many people, greedy people will emerge among them, and deceiving superiors and subordinates is a common behavior." "Once the power to collect taxes is in their hands, how to collect and how much to collect will naturally become a matter of their mouths!" "Ordinary people don't understand this, so they can only let these officials do whatever they want." "There are so many villages in the human race that the Dao Alliance is unable to supervise them." "Looking at what Mr. Zhang said, he must have been eyeing her family's land for a long time. He kept raising the stakes! He wanted to force her family to be ruined so that he could come and take the land." "These filthy beasts!" Jin Renfeng cursed. I didn't expect that when I came to the world of fox demon cultivation, I would encounter evil officials harming people. "Master, could you please take me in?" The girl pleaded urgently, "My parents starved to death, and I was the only one left at home. I had to beg for food to get to the mountain to become a disciple." "If you don't care about me, I'm afraid I will starve to death." Seeing her like this, Jin Renfeng showed pity on his face and sighed. "Don't worry, I, Shenhuoshan Manor, will not stand by and watch someone die." "Whether you can pass the test or not, you can stay in the villa." Since such a Demon King's companion came to him on his own initiative, Jin Renfeng naturally had no reason to push her away.
Even though he is not very talented, the demonic power he possesses supports him to become a powerful man. What's more, his family has been destroyed and he has no place to stay. Even though he was not the Demon King's companion, he would not do anything to stand by and watch him die. Guan Pengyun, who was standing by, couldn't help but feel envious. At the beginning, he worked very hard and passed three tests before he managed to stand out from a crowd of more than a hundred people. The girl had not yet taken a single test when she was scheduled to stay at the villa. "This senior brother is too kind!" "If everyone complains in the future, won't they all be taken to the villa?" He secretly thought. "Thank you, Immortal!" The girl's eyes were filled with tears and she knelt down and kowtowed three times in gratitude. Jin Renfeng helped her up, called a maid, and asked her to take her to wash and change into clean clothes. The girl followed the maid closely and walked into the yard next to her. After settling the girl down, Jin Renfeng began to continue registering the children. But at this moment, he was thinking about how to get back the lost Heart of Beishan. "A treasure like the Heart of the North Mountain is related to the method of obtaining the power of heaven and earth. We must not give it up easily." "Back then, the rich man Zhang took it away by trickery and force. Now that the princess of the Yuyao Kingdom has joined my Shenhuoshan Manor, I can help her get it back legitimately." With Jin Renfeng's current strength and status, it is not difficult for him to get Beishan's Heart back. After all, that rich man Zhang was just a wealthy landlord. "But the problem is, I can't leave Shenhuoshan Villa right now." Jin Renfeng frowned. Not to mention the various tedious matters of establishing a sect and recruiting disciples, he could not leave just because of the threat from the Wang Quan family. Once he left the villa, it would be equivalent to exposing all his fellow junior brothers and sisters to the attacks of assassins. If the Wang Quan family came to attack at this time, Shenhuoshan Villa would not be able to resist at all. If anything happens to his two junior sisters, he will have completely betrayed the master's trust and will be blamed for it. Therefore, no matter what, he had to stay in the villa during the time when his master was away. "But we can't just ignore the Heart of the North Mountain. We still have a clue now. If we delay for some time and let that wealthy man Zhang really sell the gem, it will be like looking for a needle in a haystack." Jin Renfeng was caught in a dilemma. If we stay in the villa, the Heart of Beishan might be lost. Leaving the villa would be an act of injustice to my master and junior sisters.
For a moment, he didn't know what to do. "It would be great if this damn Mr. Zhang was under the rule of Shenhuoshan Villa." After some thought, Jin Renfeng couldn't help but sigh. The Taoist families are divided into different parts of the human race, and are responsible for guarding their territories and resisting the demon race. Therefore, every aristocratic family has its own jurisdiction. For example, Shenhuoshan Villa guards the Huaishui area. In this way, if a nearby city is invaded by demons or a big demon causes chaos, the Taoist family can provide nearby support. If Zhang Dahu was in the Huai River area, he could just write a letter and ask the officials in charge of the area to help him get Beishan's heart back. For the sake of Shenhuoshan Villa, even if he is the lord of a city, he has to give some face. But it just so happens that this wealthy man is in Yunquan City, not under the jurisdiction of Shenhuoshan Villa. This way, he was out of reach. "Since I can't leave the villa, I can only entrust someone else to do this." In a blink of an eye, Jin Renfeng came up with a solution. "This princess of Yuyao Country was brought here by Elder Wen. If nothing unexpected happens, Yunquan City should be the garrison area of the Wen family!" "If you want to ask for money or property, it's best for the Wen family to handle it." The corresponding areas are handled by the corresponding families, which is also the most labor-saving solution. "But I don't know anyone in the Wen family." "The only one I'm more familiar with is Wen Bolin, but I don't have much friendship with him. On the contrary, we have quite a grudge against each other." "It's probably going to be hard to get him to do things for me." At the newcomers' competition, he beat Wen Bolin like a dead dog in public. If I ask him to do something for me now, I probably won’t get a good response from him. "Do we have to entrust it to other families?" “But if we ask friends from other families to help, it will be quite troublesome.” Among other aristocratic families, Jin Renfeng has a better relationship with the Li brothers and sisters. Logically speaking, when encountering such a thing, entrusting it to Li Muchen is the best way. But Jin Renfeng had no idea at all. Given Li Muchen's intelligence, if Beishan's Heart fell into her eyes, it would be like throwing a meat bun at a dog, and there would be no return. Even if it wasn't Li Muchen, but Li Jingang, the same logic would probably apply.
The people of the weapon refining family are too sensitive to magic weapons and can easily see through the clues of Beishan’s heart. Once they discover the preciousness of this magic weapon, the difficulty of recovering the Heart of Beishan will increase greatly. "My fellow disciples have just joined the mountain sect, so it's not easy to entrust them with such matters." After much thought, Jin Renfeng couldn't think of anyone he could trust. "It seems I have to wait until Master comes back so I can go there myself." Finally, he looked helpless. If you cannot abandon the villa, this is the safest solution. "But we can't let these two days go to waste." "Although I have a grudge against Wen Bolin, if I ask the Wen family to help me with something in the name of Shenhuoshan Villa, I think it is still possible." Jin Renfeng pondered secretly, After all, he and Wen Bolin only had a personal grudge, but the Wen family and Shenhuoshan Villa were both Taoist families. Judging from Elder Wen’s attitude, he also seems to be trying to make friends. "Send a letter to the Wen family first. If the Wen family is unwilling to take action, we can wait until Master comes back." With this thought in mind, he temporarily handed the registration matter over to Guan Pengyun and went to the study to prepare to write the letter. . . . . . . Over thousands of years, as the struggle between humans and demons intensified, the territorial divisions between humans and demons became increasingly clear. The four great demon kingdoms are located in the east, west, south and north, the Aolai kingdom is isolated overseas, and the human area stands in the core of the continent like an eagle spreading its wings. Its wings and claws are stretched out to form an X shape. Therefore, in order to take care of all four directions, the Taoist Alliance headquarters was set up at the intersection of this central area. Dongfang Guyue and the head of the Wen family left Shenhuoshan Villa and headed northwest. After only a few hundred kilometers, they arrived at the Taoist Alliance headquarters. (End of this chapter)
