459: condition

Could it be someone from the Sword Sect?

It's no wonder everyone was suspicious.

After all, powerful Sword Cultivators were probably only found in the Sword Sect!

Of course, the Sword Sect referred to here is not Jun Li's 'Ancient Sword Sect', but a loose organization formed spontaneously by a group of 'Sword Cultivators' in this era for survival and mutual learning, simply called: Sword Sect.

It was also named to imitate the 'Ancient Sword Sect', and to preserve its legacy and inherit its traditions.

Jun Li watched from the side as Li Yuanfeng fought with increasing proficiency, his training almost complete.

Li Yuanfeng also noticed this; using these people for practice was excellent.

Clang!

Suddenly, a sword light flashed, and then, everyone seemed to see a scorching sun hanging high above.

The intense heat gave them no chance to resist.

Puff, puff, puff!

The five Black Market Managers were directly sent flying, falling to the ground, covered in burns.

However, Jun Li held back, not killing them directly. After all, if she had truly killed them, the situation would escalate, and it might even lead to a real war.

Although it was unlikely, Jun Li did not take that risk. After all, she was leaving tomorrow, and the Li family was still here.

"So strong!" The surrounding people saw Jun Li make her move; an expert's single strike reveals their skill.

She defeated five Innate Realm experts in one move, and they were utterly powerless to resist.

Jun Li's strength was terrifying!

"No wonder she dared to say that no one could stop her from returning to Yinjiang City!" someone muttered.

The people around nodded in agreement.

At the same time, they were also fortunate that the situation didn't truly escalate, otherwise, they definitely would have gone to 'intercept and kill' Jun Li, and would have certainly been counter-killed by her.

Hiss! Wait, is there a possibility that she did this on purpose, with the goal of fishing? Black-on-black!

Good heavens! This is too ruthless!

"Do you know who you are going against?!" The Black Market Managers, defeated, looked pained but still threatened Jun Li, as they had powerful backing.

"I don't know!" Jun Li shook her head slightly, then suddenly smiled: "Let me guess... The Chen family? The Fu family? The Zhao family?"

"Since you know, how dare you do this?!" A Black Market Manager said, looking at Jun Li.

"My apologies, but I'm hitting precisely you!" Jun Li shook her head slightly and said: "I already said, I want some compensation, some compensation, but you, on the contrary, bullied us too much! Not only did you not give compensation, but you also wanted to eliminate us. I had no choice; for self-preservation, I could only reluctantly take action and knock you down.

Do you think what I said is reasonable?"

"I don't know if what you said is reasonable or not, but I do know that if there's no explanation today, this matter won't pass." At this moment, a voice sounded, and a middle-aged man stepped through the air, his hands clasped behind his back, his robes fluttering in the wind, looking very imposing.

"There certainly needs to be an explanation! Compensation should at least be tenfold!" Jun Li heard the other party's words and nodded to him as if it were only natural.

"I am Zhao Hongfang of the Zhao family. May I ask who you are?" Zhao Hongfang was not provoked; he merely smiled and asked Jun Li.

Jun Li nudged Li Yuanfeng, who understood.

"Li Yuanfeng of the Li family!" Li Yuanfeng also decisively removed his mask.

"Li Yuanfeng! So it's you! I was wondering!" Zhao Hongfang's expression immediately darkened when he saw it was Li Yuanfeng: "Has your Li family grown bolder? Daring to do such a thing! Are you tired of staying in Yinjiang City?"

Although Zhao Hongfang's expression was grim when he saw it was Li Yuanfeng, he knew in his heart that this matter would probably be settled as is. Although Li Yuanfeng had injured the Black Market Managers, he hadn't killed them, so there was room for maneuver.

Moreover, he also knew the cause of the incident; their side was in the wrong. Of course, they wouldn't be reasonable.

But since the matter couldn't be dealt with, they could only let it go, with both sides suffering losses.

If a real fight were to break out, the three major families of Yinjiang City would definitely be at the forefront.

But none of them were willing to be at the forefront. After all, that person from the Li family, Li Chengshuang, had once fought three family heads without falling behind.

It was at that time that he became famous in one battle, directly establishing the Li family's position in Yinjiang City.

Moreover, although the Li family was said to only have Li Chengshuang as the head, with Li Yuanfeng and Li Yuanfrost below him not yet fully grown, the Li family's retainers were not weak in strength, plus they had the Imperial Dynasty's support.

If it came to a desperate fight, even if the Li family were destroyed, the price paid would definitely be enormous, possibly even changing the pattern of Yinjiang City.

After all, the three major families didn't know who would be injured or even die; no matter which one, it would be unacceptable and unbearable for that side.

Furthermore, the Imperial Dynasty would certainly not sit idly by.

The Imperial Dynasty would definitely protect the Li family; assistance was a certainty.

Otherwise, if the Li family fell, the Imperial Dynasty would likely completely lose control over Yinjiang City.

Yinjiang City would then be directly ruled by the three families.

So, upon seeing Li Yuanfeng, Zhao Hongfang knew that this matter had no further implications.

"Given that both sides were at fault and there were no major casualties or chaos, this matter will be settled. We will reimburse you for half of your expenses in the Black Market today," Zhao Hongfang said to Li Yuanfeng: "This compensation is already quite generous."

"Are you kidding?! This compensation is as good as nothing! Are we people who lack your paltry sum of money?" Jun Li spoke at this moment.

Zhao Hongfang looked at Jun Li, knowing that she was the one whom the Li family head had personally said was to be treated as if she were the family head herself.

"Oh? Then you state a condition." Zhao Hongfang looked at Jun Li and asked.

"I want each of your three major families to let me choose three swords!" Jun Li said to Zhao Hongfang.

...... Zhao Hongfang listened to Jun Li's words and pondered for a moment.

They naturally had collected many swords, sword manuals, and such. Although they didn't use them, they were good for collecting or for recruiting 'Sword Cultivators' and the like.

"That's impossible, at most one." Zhao Hongfang thought for a while and then said to Jun Li.

"That works too! Then please show me all of your collections!" Jun Li didn't care how many she took; what was important was to see if the three major families had what she wanted.

"I will go back and discuss this matter. If there's nothing else, this matter ends here! Tomorrow, I will send someone to the Li family to give you a reply." Zhao Hongfang said to Jun Li.

"Alright!" Jun Li nodded in agreement.

Zhao Hongfang then turned and left, and some belated reinforcements were instructed by him to maintain order in the Black Market.

"Alright, let's go back." Jun Li said to Li Yuanfeng.

"It's over already?" Li Yuanfeng was a bit slow to grasp it.

"Yes, I've seen enough of the Black Market, and there's nothing I want." Jun Li shook her head slightly and said: "But the gains are significant. This time, I'll see if the collections of the three major families have what I need. If not, it's highly likely that Yinjiang City doesn't have it.

Fortunately, you have a White Moon Sword, which is already very satisfying."

"Okay! Then let's go back!" Li Yuanfeng nodded, then led Jun Li away.

Subsequently, the incident that occurred in the Black Market immediately spread.

Li Yuanfeng also instantly became famous; the name of the Li family's Young Master immediately rose.

After all, an Innate Realm fighting five.

This combat power, if he didn't fight, so be it, but when he fought, it was astonishing!

The Li family's Young Master had always been quite low-key, but now he suddenly became 'famous,' and in such a way.
