Chapter 252

"This Song Fuli is a bit wrong... is it my illusion?" Unlike Ning Zhuo's expression remained unchanged, but he thought secretly in his heart.

Unlike Ning Zhuo didn't notice Song Fuli's action of glancing at him, but Unlike Ning Zhuo's heart lake still rippled, feeling a subtle strangeness from Song Fuli.

Song Fuli then indicated to the two: "Our Cloud Merchants travel the world; every time we arrive at a place, besides selling specialties from the Flying Cloud Kingdom, we also purchase a large number of local specialties."

"Regarding this item, I want to cooperate with the two of you."

When Song Fuli said this, he first looked at Unlike Ning Zhuo: "Young Master Unlike Ning Zhuo, the mechanism fire monkeys you personally researched and refined, our side is very interested."

"This kind of mechanism monkey has low production costs, moves gently and accurately, and can perform dangerous picking operations like fire persimmons."

"Then, letting it enter other dangerous places to pick some rare flowers and plants that are difficult for ordinary people to reach is also possible."

"I don't know if our side has this opportunity to purchase some mechanism fire monkeys from you?"

After Unlike Ning Zhuo heard this, he immediately showed a trace of joy.

He didn't hesitate and nodded directly, agreeing: "For me, this is of course a good thing! I am very happy to do this business with Senior Song."

Immediately, the two of them settled the scale and price of this business in a few words.

After finishing this business, Song Fuli said to Zhu Xuanji: "Lord Zhu, I intend to purchase Night Rain Demon Soldiers."

What he referred to was naturally the one in Zheng Danlian's hands.

"I am clear that you have a very close relationship with the Zhou family, the Zheng family, and the Ning family."

"So please help me introduce; I want to talk to the Zheng family's Jin Dan cultivator Zheng Danlian personally."

Zhu Xuanji thought for a while and nodded slightly: "Okay."

Song Fuli showed a smile: "This is a little bit of my heart, just as the introduction fee."

Song Fuli said, took out a storage bag, and handed it to Zhu Xuanji.

Zhu Xuanji didn't take it, shook his head slightly, and pondered: "This introduction fee, if your business with the Zheng family is successful, I will accept it; if the business is not successful, then forget it."

After chatting for a while, Song Fuli left with Zhu Xuanji, leaving Unlike Ning Zhuo to continue shopping in the Cloud Market.

Zheng family.

Cultivation secret room.

Zheng Danlian was using a handkerchief to wipe the mechanism sickle in his hand gently.

In the dim secret room, the sickle was like a piece of black iron, completely immersed in the darkness, as still as a rock. It made it impossible for people to connect it with the fierce power in the Jin Dan chaotic battle before.

The door of the secret room was suddenly knocked.

Zheng Shuangou's voice came immediately: "Clan brother, Zhu Xuanji is leading the Cloud Merchant leader Song Fuli to visit you."

Zheng Danlian looked up at the door; his eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes, and a trace of irritability and disgust rose in his heart.

"Wait a moment, I'll be out." Zheng Danlian's voice was a bit hoarse, suppressing the slight unhappiness in his heart.

He stood up, carefully put away the mechanism sickle, and pushed the door out.

Not long after, he came to the reception hall.

Here, he saw Song Fuli and Zhu Xuanji.

Song Fuli said bluntly that the purpose of his trip was to purchase the mechanism sickle in Zheng Danlian's hands.

Zheng Danlian immediately frowned, showing a trace of anger: "What? You actually want to purchase my Night Rain Demon Soldier!"

Zheng Danlian glared at Song Fuli and then turned his gaze to Zhu Xuanji on the side.

He was quite dissatisfied and said bluntly: "Lord Zhu, you personally led Song to my place to purchase my mechanism sickle; what exactly do you mean?"

"Are you trying to get me to sell this trouble as soon as possible to deal with the difficulties of the Taiqing Palace next?"

"You must know that the reason why I and my Zheng family have fallen into such a predicament is entirely because we followed your orders and acted according to your plan."

Zhu Xuanji showed a trace of shame and quickly said a few words to appease him.

Song Fuli also echoed a few words.

As a result, he was interrupted directly by Zheng Danlian: "Not for sale! This is my mechanism sickle; no matter how high a price you offer, I will not sell it!"

Zheng Danlian refused directly, his mood became more irritable, and his tone was quite blunt.

Song Fuli didn't care, always smiling, his attitude gentle: "Then Brother Zheng, don't you want to listen to our offer?"

He then stated a high price.

This price indeed showed his sincerity in this purchase!

Even Zheng Shuangou on the side couldn't help but be secretly moved by this.

But Zheng Danlian's attitude was very firm, shaking his head repeatedly: "I said not for sale, so it's not for sale!"

Song Fuli said again: "Then I will change the way of purchase."

"If your side can sell this Night Rain Demon Soldier, then our side will step forward to reconcile the conflict between the Zheng family and the Taiqing Palace; maybe it can solve the predicament your clan is facing now."

When this was said, Zheng Shuangou immediately showed an interested look: "Fellow Daoist Song, please tell me in detail."

Song Fuli said: "The two of you must know that I am only purchasing on behalf of others. The person who really wants to buy the Night Rain Demon Soldier is those great power cultivators."

"These people are all existences at the Soul Transformation or Void Refinement level."

"If I report the detailed situation here, it might move them to step forward to reconcile."

"In fact, many things are as heavy as mountains on you and me, but on these existences, they might just be a matter of one sentence."

There was silence in the hall.

Zheng Danlian sneered: "If it weren't for the Jin Dan true disciple of the Taiqing Palace disguising himself as a demonic cultivator, would I have dealt a heavy hand on him?"

"If it is handled this way, let me take the initiative to abandon the sharp weapon that my clan has painstakingly prepared for many years and finally refined!"

"And then compromise with the Taiqing Palace through some great power cultivator."

"Then what about our previous efforts?"

"Does the death of the Taiqing Palace's Jin Dan true disciple have to be fully borne by our Zheng family?"

"Isn't the mistake on himself?"

"As a result, until now, it is us, the righteous cultivators who eliminate demons, who have to pay a heavy price; is this the principle of the righteous path?"

A series of accusations made the silence in the hall even heavier.

Seeing that everyone was silent for a long time, Zheng Danlian stood up, waved his sleeves, and sneered: "If the words are not speculative, half a sentence is too much; send the guests away!"

After speaking, he left the venue directly.

He returned to the cultivation secret room alone and continued to take out the mechanism sickle to wipe it carefully.

Zheng Shuangou showed a trace of embarrassment and sent Zhu Xuanji and Song Fuli to the main gate.

He bowed to apologize and made up for Zheng Danlian: "After this incident, clan brother has always been filled with indignation."

"To tell you the truth, I can especially understand him."

"Because, ever since he obtained the incomplete Night Rain Demon Soldier and the mechanism blueprints eight years ago, he has been determined to build this weapon."

"He painstakingly prepared for eight years, which can be described as painstaking, paying a lot of time and energy, and finally, because the timing was ripe recently, he took the last step and succeeded in refining."

"Is this just a mechanism weapon?! More accurately, this is his eight years of hard work."

"Now, to purchase his hard work all of a sudden, and for such a reason, it is indeed difficult for him to accept for a while."

Song Fuli quickly expressed his understanding and also indicated that his request for this transaction still counted. If Zheng Danlian's intention changed in the future, he could contact him immediately.

Song Fuli left first.

Leaving Zhu Xuanji to communicate with Zheng Shuangou alone.

Zhu Xuanji sighed deeply and said to him truthfully: "I have already written to the royal family."

"To tell you the truth, regarding the current situation, I personally cannot make the decision. It's not that I am unwilling to protect you, but that I cannot protect you."

"I believe Brother Zheng and your clan brother are also clear about this situation."

"Suppose, I mean suppose, the result of the royal family's letter is not good."

"I think this line of Cloud Merchant Song Fuli is also a route that the Zheng family can strive to grasp."

"It is precisely because of this that I introduced them."

Zheng Shuangou nodded repeatedly and bowed to Zhu Xuanji: "I can understand Lord Zhu's sincere intentions; thank you, thank you."

Zhu Xuanji showed a look of shame, nodded slightly to him, and turned to leave.

Cultivation secret room.

Zheng Danlian had been wiping the mechanism demon soldier for a long time.

He stretched out his palm and gently stroked the Night Rain Demon Soldier, a look of deep affection and obsession appearing on his face.

His eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes.

The bloodshot eyes became denser and denser, finally turning into a smear of red light, lingering at the bottom of his eyes.

"By the way." Zhu Xuanji, who was about to leave, stopped and turned back.

"If Brother Zheng Danlian is still unwilling to give up this demon soldier, and the royal family is unwilling to take action..."

"Perhaps, I can still help you."

"I want to ask, how did you get the information about this demon soldier?"

Zheng Shuangou thought for a while and told Zhu Xuanji: "About eight years ago, clan brother entered the Immortal Palace and killed a Foundation Establishment cultivator."

"At that time, this Foundation Establishment cultivator held a mechanism sickle, acting like a demon, hacking and killing innocent cultivators indiscriminately."

"Clan brother couldn't stand it, upheld justice, and killed him on the spot, thus obtaining the broken mechanism demon soldier and a complete set of mechanism blueprints."

Zhu Xuanji nodded and said he wanted to borrow these mechanism blueprints, wondering if it was possible.

Zheng Shuangou nodded: "These blueprints were made public long ago when refining the mechanism black snake. We have already backed them up many times; it is possible for Lord Zhu to borrow them now."

Immediately, Zheng Shuangou ordered people to take the blueprints from the clan treasury.

Zhu Xuanji asked again: "Besides these mechanism blueprints, are there any other things?"

"I have mastered the Root-Tracing Art; the more relevant objects, the better."

"Perhaps, I can follow the vine to find the melon and investigate something."

Zheng Shuangou shook his head: "Eight years have passed; even if something was left behind at that time, it wouldn't be left until now."
