The black market running into trouble was one of the scenarios Ning Zhuo had long anticipated.
He didn't feel the slightest bit surprised.
"If it really doesn't work out, just abandon the black market entirely and retreat."
Compared to the Lava Fairy Palace, the black market was just a minor detail. If Ning Zhuo got distracted by this, spending energy and time, it would mean the enemy's schemes had succeeded.
Of course, a full retreat was only the last resort. At this stage, it wasn't necessary yet.
Ning Zhuo immediately sent a reply, instructing the black market to seek help from Ning Youfu and Ning Houjun, the two former family elders.
Ning Zhuo's strategy was long-term, and he had already anticipated many difficulties he would face during the palace tests. Therefore, he had made arrangements in advance, one of which was persuading the former family elders, Ning Youfu and Ning Houjun.
