This is my mechanism sickle; no matter how high a price you offer, I will not sell it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Danlian refused directly, his emotions becoming more and more irritable, and his tone was quite stiff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Fuli didn't care, always smiling, his attitude gentle: \"Then Brother Zheng, don't you want to listen to our offer?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then stated a high price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This price indeed showed his sincerity in this purchase!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Zheng Shuangou on the side couldn't help but be secretly moved by this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Zheng Danlian's attitude was very firm, shaking his head repeatedly: \"I said not for sale, so it's not for sale!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Fuli said again: \"Then I will change the way of purchasing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If your side can sell this Night Rain Demon Soldier, then our side will step forward to mediate the conflict between the Zheng family and the Grand Clarity Palace; perhaps it can solve the predicament your family is facing now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When this was said, Zheng Shuangou immediately showed a look of great interest: \"Fellow Daoist Song, please tell me in detail.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Fuli said: \"The two must know that I am only purchasing on behalf of others.

More accurately, this is his hard work for eight years.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now that he has to purchase his hard work all at once, and for such a reason, it is indeed difficult for him to accept for a while.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Fuli hurriedly 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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Fuli left first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving Zhu Xuanji to communicate with Zheng Shuangou alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Xuanji sighed deeply and told him the truth: \"I have already written to the royal family.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To tell you the truth, I can't make the decision for the current situation. It's not that I am willing to protect you, and I can protect you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I believe Brother Zheng and your clan brother are also well aware of this situation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Assuming, I mean assuming, the result of the royal family's letter is not good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think this line of Cloud Merchant Song Fuli is also a route that the Zheng family can strive to grasp.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is precisely because of this that I introduced it on his behalf.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Shuangou nodded repeatedly and bowed to Zhu Xuanji: \"Lord Zhu's sincere intention, I can understand; thank you, thank you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Xuanji showed a look of shame, nodded slightly to him, and turned to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the cultivation secret room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Danlian had been wiping the mechanism demon soldier for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stretched out his palm and gently stroked the Night Rain Demon Soldier, his face showing deep affection and obsession.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes were full of bloodshot eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bloodshot eyes became denser and denser, finally turning into a smear of red light, lingering at the bottom of his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way.\" Zhu Xuanji, who was about to leave, stopped and turned back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If Brother Zheng Danlian is still unwilling to give up this demon soldier, and the royal family is unwilling to take action...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Perhaps, I can still help you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want to ask, how did you get the information about this demon soldier?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Shuangou thought about it and told Zhu Xuanji: \"About eight years ago, when my clan brother entered the Immortal Palace, he killed a Foundation Establishment cultivator.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At that time, this Foundation Establishment cultivator was holding a mechanism sickle, like a madman, slashing and killing innocent cultivators indiscriminately.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My clan brother couldn't stand it, upheld justice, took action on the spot to kill him, and thus obtained the incomplete mechanism demon soldier and a complete mechanism blueprint.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Xuanji nodded and said he wanted to borrow this mechanism blueprint; I wonder if it is possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Shuangou nodded: \"This blueprint was made public long ago when forging the mechanism black snake.
