Chapter 170 Black Market
"Aren't you already dead? Why are you still standing here? And how did you cure your poison? Aren't you poisoned?"
Zhou Chen sneered and said, "I will tell you this when you die, but prepare to die now."

As he spoke, Bingpo unsheathed the Fengyun Sword and condensed it, slashing towards Li Yun. The entire roof was cut in half by the sword. Li Yun had no way to dodge it, and he couldn't hide because behind him was his son's spirit tablet and Li Tian's body was still lying behind him.

Li Yun used his true energy to raise his hands above his head and took the knife head-on. However, this was his limit. Zhou Chen immediately changed from holding the knife in one hand to using both hands to chop it down. Li Yun groaned and fell to his knees, and the floor shattered.

The true energy condensed above his head was being eroded by the cold air emitted by the Fengyun Sword, and the true energy in his body was also being eroded. Now all the masters in the mansion had been sent out, not to mention a sixth-grade or even a seventh-grade warrior, and there was no way he could use the mansion's formation.

Zhou Chen just shouted softly and pressed down the Fengyun Sword with force. With a bang, cold air scattered and the entire mourning hall was covered with a layer of frost.

Li Yun was frozen into an ice sculpture with a look of horror on his face, not to mention Li Tian behind him. Zhou Chen put away his Ice Soul and turned to leave, when he suddenly thought of something and opened the Eye of Ultimate to check the entire Li family.

After a while of searching, all of the Li family's properties had been collected into his storage ring. As for the secret manuals on martial arts, there were some, but their quality was not high and Zhou Chen had no plans to practice them.

He planned to sell these things afterwards. As for the channel, it naturally could not be the Demon Suppression Division, but he would sell them to other forces in Wu'an County. There were many ways to deal with things of such unclean origins.

After resolving all this, Zhou Chen left the Li family. As for those ordinary servants, Zhou Chen did not choose to kill them, not to mention those guests. The master of the Li family was dead, and these guests would not avenge him. The worst that could happen was that they would switch to another force to continue relying on.

The news of this incident had spread throughout Wu'an County before dawn. Upon seeing this, other forces quickly seized the industries under their names. However, the Wang family was slow to react due to the severe damage they suffered, and only got a very small part of the industries.

The Demon Suppression Division, which usually rarely intervenes in these matters, surprisingly sent people to check it out this time, and Baihu even went there in person.

When Leng Ningshuang and the others saw the situation in the mourning hall, the first thing they thought of was Zhou Chen. After all, they had worked with Zhou Chen for so long, and they knew a little about Zhou Chen's martial arts. This was obviously caused by Zhou Chen's Fengyun Sword.

When Baihu saw all this, he thought of Zhou Chen. Baihu asked everyone to go and interrogate the servants in the mansion about what happened tonight, and he came to the Li family ancestral hall. After searching for a while, he finally found the switch. After turning on the switch, the floor of the ancestral hall opened instantly. When Baihu came out, he had a sword in his hand, and then he ordered everyone to retreat.

As for Zhou Chen, since the head of the Li family was dead and no one had paid the bounty, those warriors naturally did not bother him anymore. Zhou Chen returned home openly, but when he came back, he found his house in a mess, and he didn't know how many people had ransacked it.

Leng Yiyao still wanted to clean up but Zhou Chen told them to throw everything away and buy new ones. Zhou Chen didn't throw away the things himself but found some thugs from Wu'an County and gave them a few taels of silver. They then carefully threw away all the things and Zhou Chen also helped them clean up the room.

If they were ordinary people, they would only take the money and not do the job. However, since Zhou Chen had the ability, they could only do the job obediently. Afterwards, these people helped carry the furniture and clothes that Zhou Chen bought to the house. After finishing everything, Zhou Chen was not stingy and directly rewarded several people with ten taels of silver. Several people took the silver with a smile and said, "Mr. Zhou, if there is such a task in the future, just let me know."

Zhou Chen took out some silver again and handed it to him, "Is there any place in this city that can buy martial arts techniques? The premise is that I will buy whatever it is without asking where it comes from."

The thug lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Zhou, you've finally asked the right person. For things like those that don't have a clear origin, it's best to go to the black market. Most of the things on the black market have an unknown origin, and no one will ask about their origin, so it's definitely safe."

The black market has an unfamiliar name, "Where is the black market?" Then the gangster whispered to Zhou Chen about the situation of the black market. The black market is only open for one day, on the first night of every month, and there are still five days before the next opening.

The next day, Zhou Chen returned to the Demon Suppression Division. Leng Ningshuang and the others were delighted when they saw him. However, Zhou Chen still had to go to Baihu. After all, his previous mission was to protect the Li family, but now that the Li family was destroyed, he was not at all involved. However, he was not afraid. As for the excuse, he had already thought of it. At this time, Baihu was practicing sword in the courtyard. The sword energy was raging in the courtyard. As soon as Zhou Chen walked into the courtyard, the corner of his clothes was cut by a sword energy.

Zhou Chen quickly stopped. Baihu naturally noticed Zhou Chen's arrival. He sneered and turned around and stabbed Zhou Chen with a sword.

Although he could avoid it, he did not choose to dodge it, nor did he use any defensive moves. He just stood there straight. Seeing that the tip of the sword was about to pierce his eyeball, Baihu immediately stopped and asked, "Why don't you dodge?"

"Your Excellency's swordsmanship is superb. I believe I cannot avoid it, so I will simply not hide."

"But why can't I see any fear on your face?"
"Because I know you won't kill me, sir."

"You are too confident. I asked you to protect the Li family, but the head of the Li family died and all the property in the mansion was looted. And now you are standing in front of me. Even if I kill you, Qinglong, you can't say anything."

"Sir, this is exactly why I came here today, to let my subordinates say that it is good for the head of the Li family to die."

"Bold!" The long sword that had been retracted was pointed at Zhou Chen again, and a wisp of sword energy directly cut off a strand of his long hair.

Zhou Chen half-knelt down upon seeing this and said, “My lord, you sent me to guard the Li family before. But as soon as I arrived at the Li family, the head of the Li family, Li Yun, poisoned my subordinates. In the middle of the night, he took advantage of the poison to kill me. I risked my life to get the poison out.”

After hearing his words, Baihu narrowed his eyes, thought for a while and retracted his sword, "Okay, I got it, you can go now."

Then Baihu returned to the house. Zhou Chen and the others stayed quiet for a few days. That night, Zhou Chen changed into black clothes and came to a remote corner of Wu'an County. It was already late at night and a space crack appeared on the wall.

There were two masked men in black standing next to the crack. Zhou Chen came up to them and handed over ten taels of silver. Then one of the men in black gave him a mask.

After Zhou Chen put on the mask, he walked straight into the crack. The moment he entered, the scene in front of him changed, and in a blink of an eye he came to a dim street. This was the black market. The black market was not in Wu'an County, but a secret space opened up by an unknown strong man using supreme magical powers.

Zhou Chen was wandering aimlessly in the black market wearing a mask. The streets were lined with stalls, selling both real and fake items. Zhou Chen would not even look at the items on the stalls.

Although those thugs don't have much money, they are well-informed and have a relatively good understanding of the situation in the black market.

After walking around for a while, Zhou Chen came directly to the Treasure Pavilion, which was the largest shop in the black market. Although the things inside were expensive, their quality was the best, and the quality of the things was also guaranteed.
