Lu Shu shoved the money into his pocket. It did not make sense for him to give up the money he had just received. He asked curiously, “Bro, is this the first time these people have come here?”

Chen Bokang sadly lit a cigarette. “This is the first time I’ve seen them. But people like them have come before. I reckon that they’re from that family. We may have to move again.”

Lu Shu was dumbfounded. “Why do we have to move again? Shouldn’t we be happy that a tycoon has come?”

“He he, from the likes of it, you probably don’t go out very often. We painstakingly bring in these cheap magical stones from overseas to earn some profit. But when we encounter these tycoons, our days become hard. They are not sincere about buying these magical stones,” Chen Bokang said with deep meaning.

Lu Shu realized that the profit these secret practitioners earned from selling the magical stones was their means of living. They definitely could not enter by the normal route, but they were practitioners after all. Their physique was stronger. It was not impossible for them even if they had to cross mountains to enter the country. The profit they earned was enough for them to live.

But Lu Shu was slightly curious. Wasn’t there a tycoon who bought everything before? If so, wouldn’t the secret practitioners live more comfortably as a result? After all, there was supply and demand.

Chen Bokang laughed. “You’re talking about what happened at Xiazhou, right? I was there too. It was true that one magical stone cost three hundred thousand. But that family wanted to leave some room for manoeuvre. Raising the price of your goods was simply a favor. Immediately after that, they used their influence as a family to take control of the entire black market. Doing business under them would mean that higher handling charges needed to be paid. In the first place, we do not earn a lot of money. Demanding a commission of 30% was equivalent to asking us to leave. That was why I came to Luo City. But it seems like they have already set their eyes here.”

So that was what had happened. It seems like these big families had turned their attention to the underground black markets after their unsuccessful attempt at interfering with the Heavenly Network.

The arrival of Nalan Que and Gao Cangi most likely meant that another family wanted to control the Luo City black market, like the family who had gained control over the Xiazhou black market.

Now, the seven major Cultivation Colleges across the country had started lessons. They were afraid that in the future, all the secret practitioners would slowly gather in this area. The concentration of black markets in the city where the seven Cultivation Colleges were would also exceed that of other cities by leaps and bounds.

The first thing that the black market had to consider was the circulation of commodities. Were there others places that had more practitioners than the seven major Cultivation Colleges? No.

Furthermore, the richness of magical energy was also an important factor when the secret practitioners chose their cities. After all, they had to train as well. Even the Heavenly Network was very particular when they chose the location for the schools. The richness of magical energy at the school was much higher than in other places within the city.

Luo City could be said to be a place that the military commanders of the respective big families fought over.

Gao Cang and Nalan Que walked through. They did not take a look at the tools nor goods, but stopped when they saw the magical stones. “One piece for 320,000 dollars. I want everything you have.”

The stall owner in front of Gao Cang was wild with joy. “Boss, I only have two stones here. But the process was extremely complicated. I was almost caught by the Heavenly Network...”

“330,000 dollars,” Nalan Que was somewhat impatient. She did not seem to have the intention of haggling. Rather, it seemed that she was using this price to pressure the owner.

Lu Shu suddenly felt that this robust lady had very delicate features... historical

This pedestrian had also come prepared with a large amount of funds. Once the price was settled, the three bodyguards behind her took out their notebook and began the transfer of funds to the owner.

But Lu Shu was suddenly more certain of his opinion. Nalan Que, the robust lady, was probably the true leader of this group of people. If not, how did she have the authority to discuss the price?

The person called Gao Cang was probably the broker for Nalan Que’s family. Lu Shu was not sure why Nalan Que would personally come down to the market and buy training resources.

Many stall owners immediately gathered close when they heard Nalan Que’s price. They did not have much in their hands either, only one or two pieces. The most one owner had was five pieces. But Gao Cang did not reject anyone. They took whatever the owners had.

Some of the owners wanted to suggest their own price, but Gao Cang did not even care about them. Without Nalan Que’s words, he would not add a single cent.

Nalan Que looked at Wang Zhe and laughed. “Where is your Lord? I haven’t seen him.”

Lu Shu’s eyes lit up. To be honest, he also wanted to see who this Lord was. But he knew that Nalan Que’s intention of wanting to see their Lord was probably not so simple.

She had come with her family to take control of the black market. If their Lord could not bear the pressure of these big families, they would either be controlled by these families, or vanish... it was all possible.

Wang Zhe laughed obsequiously. “My Lord says that his stomach is not feeling well...”

Nalan Que and Gao Cang looked at each other. They did not expect that the so-called black market operator did not dare to even show his face. This was beyond fear. Did he think that the family would not do anything if he did not appear?

The family had always feared the Heavenly King and did not dare to mess with them. This was why they took their money and cleared public places of visitors. This was equivalent to cutting the knot as smoothly as you tied it.

There had been a family who had used the black market business for a mass killing. But the Heavenly Network was always ruthless to these families. The Heavenly Network got rid of black markets the day after these families seized control of them.

The Heavenly King’s meaning was also very clear. They prioritized stability. Whoever thought that force could conquer all, the Heavenly Network would use absolute force to talk to you.

This time the families were quite frank about it. Who could defeat Nie Ting?

But this Lord probably did not quite understand that one or two deaths would not disrupt the stability.

If the black markets in the country all broke the rules to create new ones, it would be like a dispute between a snake and a dragon.

At this moment, a robust figure emerged from the black market bomb shelter, pulling up his pants. The figure wore a pair of large sunglasses that covered his face. “Ha ha ha ha, it would be inconsiderate of me to not welcome my guests. Have you taken an interest to some of the goods?”

Nalan Que and Gao Cang looked at each other. They did not expect that the Lord would appear now.

Lu Shu, on the other hand, felt a tremble from the deepest part of his body. Damn! Even though he wore large sunglasses, but Lu Shu was just too familiar with this figure?!

Li Yixiao, Heavenly King Li. He had recently disappeared, and now he was the Lord of an underground black market?! A legendary heavenly king, operating a black market... what was this?!

So Wang Zhe’s words just now that their Lord knew people within the Heavenly Network was complete nonsense. Your Lord was a Heavenly King!

Ha ha. Lu Shu now wanted to see what would happen when the family bumped into Li Yixiao...
