At the very beginning of the chapter, a scene of calm water is shown.
The surface is completely still, and beneath it, many fish are swimming peacefully, living their lives without any disturbance.
It is the silence before the arrival of a storm
a quiet, undisturbed water where not even the slightest ripple has appeared yet. ( sorry for disturbing the chapter support and share your library thank you sorry for your disturb)
But then, the scene shifts.
Zhao Tian, the Young Master, is shown preparing to attack Yun Xuan, the main character, once again.
At the same time, the system continuously grants jealousy epiphany points, and notification after notification keeps appearing.
The MC thinks to himself that things will not work like this.
Then, the scene cuts back to a flash.
In that same calm water, a disturbance begins to appear—
and that disturbance is caused by a single, light drop.
A small droplet falls onto the surface.
Because of that one drop, faint ripples begin to form.
Small whirlpools start appearing, and waves begin to rise within the water.
The once calm surface now shows slight movement, which slowly begins to grow, eventually taking the form of a larger wave.
Due to this, all the small and large fish present in the water gradually begin moving toward the edges, heading closer to the shore.
Then, the scene returns to the present.
The Young Master prepares to attack Yun Xuan with his sword slash.
He draws his sword from its sheath and declares that he will not let him leave alive.
Immediately, he begins attacking Yun Xuan repeatedly with his sword.
Yun Xuan does nothing but defend.
Then, one of Zhao Tian's attacks passes extremely close to Kim's face.
His face mask gets slightly cut, and Yun Xuan realizes just how narrowly he avoided the strike.
He thinks that if he had not dodged that attack, a deep scar would have been left on his face.
After that, Yun Xuan activates the first level of his best technique, Sword Slash.
He picks up a nearby iron rod and uses it to block the incoming attacks.
Again and again, he begins neutralizing the Young Master's strikes, making them disappear mid-way.
The Young Masters present there are shocked upon seeing Yun Xuan's defensive fighting technique.
Because of this, the system continues to grant him many epiphany points.
Yun Xuan then thinks that he should stop the fight, since this is a Young Master, and he still needs to raise his cultivation level, otherwise this might create problems for him within the sect.
But then he thinks again—
why is he even wearing a mask?
And why did he give a fake name as Yun Xuan?
This means that no problem should come to him.
Thinking this, just as the Young Master activates his final and strongest technique and prepares to strike—
he launches his attack at Kim.
At that exact moment, Kim activates the second step of his Sword Slash technique and stops the attack midway.
Then, he strikes hard—
a powerful blow directly below Zhao Tian's ear.
Because of that, Zhao Tian collapses on the spot.
He loses consciousness immediately.
Blood begins to flow from his ear and mouth as he falls to the ground, unconscious.
His bodyguard, whose cultivation is quite high, steps forward in anger and questions how he dared to attack the Young Master.
The bodyguard, who is at the second level of body refining, becomes furious and attacks Yun Xuan.
But Yun Xuan frightens him using his technique.
He gathers energy into his palm and launches an attack.
There is no visible effect on the target in front of him—
but behind the bodyguard and the other Young Masters, a terrifying surge of energy explodes outward.
Seeing this overwhelming energy effect, all the Young Masters and the bodyguard become frightened.
No one dares to attack him again.
After that, several guards are shown arriving at the scene to stop the conflict.
However, they intentionally delay their arrival.
Then, they accuse Yun Xuan of attacking and knocking out the Young Master and declare that he is to be arrested.
But seeing the behavior of these guards, present there
scene of Tian Ae is shown, where she is speaking to the guards, saying that because of their negligence, this Yun Xuan has caused such a condition to Zhao Tian. Now take me to your master. You people cannot do anything to him, he is extremely powerful.
But those guards consider Tian Ae's words useless, and they say to her, "My Lady, please forgive us, he is not even strong enough to defeat us, and besides, he tried to cross his limits within the Black Market, because of which now the Black Market will punish him according to its own rules. You should not interfere."
They silence that young princess, because of which the young lady feels deeply insulted.
After that, she tells her guards to teach them a lesson, because of which the female guard of that young lady releases an energy strike toward those Black Market guards, due to which those guards become quite frightened.
At that moment, their senior master comes out, and he begins apologizing to Tian Ae, who is the young princess, and says that, "Young Lady, please forgive us, I have not yet taught them anything. Therefore, I apologize to you on their behalf."
Then that young lady says to that master that it is fine, anyway they are nothing but small trash, I have already taught them a lesson.
After that, Tian Ae says that in this Black Market, our brother has suffered great humiliation. This Yun Xuan attacked our brother, because of which he is now seriously injured, and I expect that you will give this Yun Xuan a very severe punishment.
Seeing this changing behavior, Yun Xuan thinks that now he is about to fall into trouble.
At that moment, a small master of the Black Market appears and says that you people cannot fight here. You people have come here only for trading. Here you should only enjoy the Black Market. Fighting or killing anyone is not allowed here.
After saying this, he turns to Yun Xuan and says that, "Great Master, the power you possess should be used to obtain the resources present here. You are not allowed to engage in fights here."
After saying this, he begins to leave, but Tian Ae stops him and says, "What did you say? This Yun Xuan attacked our brother, because of which the Young Master is seriously injured and has suffered severe injuries. Therefore, this Yun Xuan must compensate us."
At that, the guard says, "Sorry, but it is not a rule of the Black Market that anyone must compensate another. Yes, but there is one thing—the Black Market has only one rule: you cannot kill anyone here. Therefore, unless someone among you dies, the Black Market will not get involved."
All of these conversations are being heard from a distance by an old man, who is quite aged and is selling normal spiritual stones.
Just as their conflict is about to escalate, he steps in and says, "Ah… oh…" muttering like that. "Actually, all disciples present here, please listen carefully."
But all the Young Masters present there ignore his words, and they tell the master, who is the Black Market master, that you must make this Yun Xuan compensate us.
After that, the old master speaks again and says, please pay attention to me, but they still do not pay attention to him.
Then the old master becomes slightly serious and uses sound—uses sound cultivation—and says that all disciples listen to me carefully.
As soon as he says this, intense pain begins in the ears of all the disciples, and even their inner space is shaken. The sound effect is so high that all the disciples begin to think who this old man is.
The master of the Black Market, who is present there, upon hearing this sound effect, realizes that this is the greatest master of their Black Market. He shows his gratitude and says, "Forgive me, Sir, I could not recognize you until now."
His name has still not been revealed, and everyone continues to call him only the Old Master.
He says that whatever has happened here until now, all disciples should forget it.
"And now, after such a long time, in this Black Market today, I have
Chapter 23 end. But
Chapter 24 coming soon.
