Steward Chen looked at the invitation and his expression changed. "Haha, it really is an invitation to the Black Market Conference …"
"Black Market Conference?"
Fang Yu was confused.
"It's a conference that the Black Market Alliance holds every few years. Other than discussing the direction of the Black Market's development, they also make some minor adjustments …"
Steward Chen said slowly.
"Then something like forcing someone to abdicate …"
Fang Yu asked.
"Yes, but it's very rare. Unless they really made a big mistake, then the government intervened and forcibly replaced them … But such cases are very rare. After all, the Black Market Alliance was not created to replace people all the time. Otherwise, its existence would be meaningless."
Steward Chen shook his head.
Fang Yu thought. "Then the chances of them succeeding in forcing someone to abdicate at the Black Market Conference are not very high?"
"It's not very high, but it's not small either … At least they have the support of a Martial King. We don't have a Martial King behind us."
Steward Chen smiled helplessly.
A Martial King was not a cabbage. It was not something that could be easily obtained.
Besides, although the Black Market Alliance was called an alliance, it was actually a relationship of mutual benefit and interdependence. There was no need to be too close to each other.
Otherwise, a private alliance would be enough. Why would there be a need for a Black Market Alliance?
Besides, the Li family had been in the limelight for the past few years. There was no need for any alliance.
Who would have thought that there would be such a big change in the past few years? Even though the Li family had a strong foundation, they were still defeated and greatly damaged.
Now that they thought about it, it was most likely related to the Zheng Family. They had misjudged!
"A banquet at Hongmen … We have no choice but to go!"
Fang Yu thought for a while and said.
"I would like to ask the Martial Spirit Patriarch for his opinion."
Steward Chen nodded and said.
"Will he come out of seclusion?"
Fang Yu asked curiously.
He had yet to see what a Martial Spirit expert looked like!
"That might not be the case. However, before Patriarch Martial Spirit entered seclusion, he was actually an expert who traveled the world. He was very knowledgeable and might have a solution … My young friend, if you aren't returning to the Fang family for the time being, you can stay with us. Second Missy always says that cultivation is boring. You can accompany her."
Steward Chen said with a smile.
In fact, if a young genius like Fang Yu were to get close to the two young ladies, he would be happy to see it happen.
Of course, if he wanted to hug both of them, he would definitely oppose it.
The young ladies of the Li family were all precious. They weren't as cheap as being hugged by a man.
Unless it was a true peerless expert!
At the same time, in Skylight City.
"Your Tao Clan suddenly invited us to a banquet. It can't be purely for the sake of eating, drinking, and playing, right?"
The head of the Lin Family asked with a grin.
The head of the Lin family was very young. He was thirty years old and was the youngest head of the Lin family.
However, he had already been a Martial Grand Master for a few years and had accumulated some experience. If he was treated as an ordinary Martial Grand Master, he would definitely be at a disadvantage.
"Isn't that so?
This kind of fine wine costs a thousand Spirit Stones per sip. You can't buy it even if you have money … If you have anything to say, just say it. We are all very busy. "
Another woman chuckled.
She was the current head of the Zhang family. Although she was in her early thirties and her talent wasn't as terrifying as the head of the Lin family, her eyes had inherited some special abilities from her ancestors.
As for how special they were, no one knew because those who wanted to know were all dead.
Fang Zhao didn't say anything.
He had revealed the previous information to Fang Yu because he had received an invitation from the Tao Clan.
Of course, the Tao Clan and the Zheng Family had the same interests, but they didn't act at the same time.
The Li family was too big!
Unless the Dark Demon Martial King came personally and swept everything away, the Zheng Family and the Tao Clan wouldn't be able to deal with the Li family.
Even if the Zheng Family had the upper hand at the Black Market Conference, they still had to personally solve the problems that came along.
The Dark Demon Martial King's appetite was too big. After giving them thirty percent of the profits, they didn't want to pay any more.
If they really wanted to continue paying, the Tao Clan suggested finding another way, which might be easier.
The Tao Clan was referring to the three big families of Skylight City!
"Since you're all here, I won't hide anymore. I'll just ask … What do you think of the black market?"
The head of the Tao Clan asked with a smile.
"Black market?"
Hearing this, the eyes of the three Patriarchs flashed with light.
Although the underground black market had a mediocre reputation, it was responsible for a lot of lucrative jobs.
The three big families had always wanted to eradicate the black market, and one of the reasons was that they wanted to take all these jobs for themselves.
Unfortunately, the black market had been around for many years, and it wasn't something that the three big families could take down.
Later on, out of sight, out of mind, they turned a blind eye to the existence of the black market.
However, this didn't mean that they had given up on the black market.
It was just that they didn't have the ability to control it at the moment, so they could only ignore it.
"Hehe, Head of the Tao Clan, you're really naughty. Do you think we're not interested in the black market?
But the black market is like an iron plate, and nothing can enter … "
As she spoke, a look of surprise appeared on the woman's face, and she stopped talking.
The Tao Clan seemed to have formed a marriage alliance with the Zheng Family of the black market. Now that she was suddenly mentioning it, could there be some changes?
Or could it be that the three big families had a chance to enter the black market?
"The black market was indeed like an iron plate many years ago, but in recent years, things have changed …"
The head of the Tao Clan played with his empty wine glass.
"To be honest, everyone should know that the black market holds a lot of power. In some aspects, even the three big families can't compare to the black market, but the black market is united and strong, and we can't do anything about it. Now that the black market is in turmoil, and the head of the Li family has passed away, their children can't take on the responsibility. In order to prevent the black market in Skylight City from collapsing, the Zheng Family intends to replace it …"
The head of the Tao Clan spoke eloquently.
The three big family heads listened without saying anything, but deep down, they were full of disdain for them!
If they wanted to seize power, they could have just said so directly. Why did they have to find so many excuses for themselves? How hypocritical!
However, this didn't stop them from working together. None of them had a problem with money.
The black market was a huge treasure chest. As long as they set foot in it, they could just wait to make money!
"Head of the Tao Clan, what you mean is that we should join forces to deal with the Li family, but there's a problem. The Li family has a martial spirit ancestor. Even if the few of us are martial grandmasters who have advanced for many years, we still can't defeat a martial spirit powerhouse. You should know this in your heart."
The head of the Lin Family shook his head gently.
He was the youngest among the people present, but that didn't mean he was inexperienced. He didn't even know whether a martial spirit was strong or weak.
Taking a step back, the loss of a peak Martial Master might only be a huge blow to their foundation. However, the loss of Martial Grand Masters like them was definitely a huge blow to the three great clans. It wouldn't be strange if they used this mistake to withdraw from the stage of the three great clans.
It was best not to be blinded by greed!
