The First Marquis of Daxuan

Wan Xue, the elder of the Shennong Baicao Sect, knelt on the ground with her head lowered.

There was a stretcher next to her, and Li Guichen was lying on it.

Although Li Guichen's eyes were open, they were lifeless and dull, like a walking corpse.

Tushan Hanyu and Dongfang Liuyun were standing nearby, reporting to Su Mu.

"We already interrogated her on the way back."

Dongfang Liuyun said, "The reason why she conspired with Jiawu and others was because Jiawu promised to help her save Li Guichen."

Wan Xue's conspiracy with Jia Wu had nothing to do with the Shennong Herb Sect, and even the Wan family was unaware of it.

Su Mu had already figured out that it was because of Li Guichen.

"I am the one who has wronged you. You can kill me or chop me up as you wish, but Senior Brother Li is innocent."

Wan Xue suddenly spoke.

Su Mu had no expression on his face and remained silent.

Wan Xue knew that the matter would not be resolved so easily. After all, Su Mu almost died in Daxuanjing City.

In the final analysis, it was all because of her and Li Guichen.

Although Li Guichen himself is not mentally competent, the root cause of this matter lies with him.

There was no way Su Mu would let them go.

Take a thousand steps back.

Even if Su Mu let Li Guichen go, once she died, who would be willing to rescue Li Guichen?
Given Li Guichen's current condition, it won't be long before he dies.

If Su Mu might have tried to find a way to save Li Guichen before, now, after this incident, the little affection between him and Li Guichen has been exhausted. Not killing Li Guichen with his own hands is already giving Li Guichen face, let alone saving him.

"The reason why I agreed to Jiawu is because Jiawu told me that they have contacted Senior Brother Li's master in the Taixu Holy Land. As long as I help them, they will let Senior Brother Li's master rescue Senior Brother Li."

Wan Xue said in a deep voice, "I know that I have committed serious sins, and death is not a pity.

But Senior Brother Li is still useful to you. Don’t you want to inherit the Tushita Alchemy Technique?

As long as Senior Brother Li wakes up, he will be able to pass on the complete inheritance to you."

"Wanxue, Wanxue, at this point, do you still want to play tricks in front of Lord Su?"

Tushan Hanyu sneered, "Do you think Lord Su will return empty-handed after going to Daxuan Capital this time?
The master of Li Guichen you mentioned has been defeated by Lord Su!
Do you think that Lord Su would take seriously a mere inheritance of the Tushita Alchemy Technique?

To this day, if you still have hope and think you can get away with it, then you are truly blinded by greed!
Wan Xue, if you want to save Li Guichen's life, then you should honestly hand over the things Li Guichen left for you!"

Su Mu remained silent and let Tu Shan Hanyu speak.

In fact, he didn't know whether Li Guichen had left anything behind, but since Tushan Hanyu wanted to trick Wan Xue, Su Mu asked someone to cooperate.

Su Mu didn't have any idea about Li Guichen's things, but Su Mu was a little curious. Was Li Guichen's current situation caused by his forced entry into the Taixu Holy Land, or was it caused by his practice of the Tushita Alchemy Technique?

In the past, Su Mu always thought that the reason why Li Guichen became what he is now was because he broke into the Taixu Holy Land by force, just like the Black Iron Scale Guard of the Cangqiong Sect, who was injured by the power that separated the Taixu Holy Land and the outside world.

But now, Su Mu has different ideas.

According to Lu Qian, there are huge problems with the Tushita Alchemy Technique. The God of Medicine ended up in a state worse than death because he practiced the Tushita Alchemy Technique.

Even a being like the God of Medicine would be like this, so what about Li Guichen?
Of course, Li Guichen's attainments in alchemy cannot be compared with those of the Demon God, but his cultivation is also far behind that of the Medicine God.

The God of Medicine is just living a life worse than death, but Li Guichen may not be able to withstand the problems brought about by the Tushita Alchemy Technique.

It was precisely because of this suspicion that Su Mu came to see Wan Xue.

Otherwise, he would have just asked someone to deal with Wan Xue and Li Guichen, and there would be no need to take time out of his busy schedule to meet them.

"Wan Xue, we already know your secret. Now we are asking you to speak up to give you a chance. This is your last chance. Don't make the mistake!"

Tushan Hanyu scolded.

This is the advantage of having someone under your command.

There are some things that Su Mu doesn't need to say at all.

There are plenty of people who can play the bad guy.

Wan Xue lowered her head, the expression on her face changing constantly.

Although she looks young, she has actually lived for hundreds of years.

As an elder of the Shennong Herb Sect, she has rich experience in the martial arts world.

She suspected that Tushan Hanyu was cheating her, but she had no evidence.

The most important thing is that she can't afford to gamble.

She had spent quite some time in the three Lingnan states and was very familiar with Su Mu's style of doing things.

She knew very well how cruel and ruthless Su Mu was.

She had no doubt that Su Mu would hesitate when it came time to kill someone.

When it comes to killing someone, Su Mu never hesitates!
If what Tushan Hanyu said was true, then this was the only chance for her, and even Senior Brother Li, to survive.

"I said."

After a long time, Wan Xue seemed to have been drained of all her energy and spirit. She collapsed to the ground and spoke in a dry voice.

“Brother Li did leave me something before he left that day, and I can give it to you.

I just hope you can give us a quick death.”

"Wan Xue, put away your cleverness. The tactic of retreating to advance won't work in front of us."

Tushan Hanyu sneered, pretending to be weak was something it had long been familiar with.

In terms of scheming, Wan Xue is not even worthy of Tu Shan Han Yu's shoes.

“I tell you, your only chance of survival is your usefulness.

As long as you are useful, you can live."

Tushan Hanyu glanced secretly at Su Mu.

This promise is actually a bit beyond the authority.

After all, the only person who can decide the life and death of Wan Xue and Li Guichen is Su Mu.

However, Tushan Hanyu found that Su Mu was not angry and did not refute.

It then felt more confident.

Since Su Mu was willing to give it power, it would naturally give Su Mu a satisfactory result.

"Wan Xue, you are a smart person, you should know what to do."

Tushan Hanyu continued, "Don't try to deceive us anymore, you can't deceive us.

If it weren't for the fact that your Wan family has made great contributions to the three states of Lingnan, you wouldn't even have the chance to confess this time!"

Tushan Hanyu's words were as sharp as knives, completely breaking down Wan Xue's defenses.

"Outside Fubo City in Zhuya Prefecture there is a mountain called Osmanthus Mountain. In the mountain there is a pool called Fuxian Pool."

Wan Xue was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "I hid the things that Senior Brother Li left for me in Fuxiantan."

Although Wan Xue is an elder of the Shennong Herb Sect, he is not qualified to possess a storage magic weapon.

The things Li Guichen left her were too precious, so she found a place to keep them.

Tushan Hanyu looked at Su Mu.

Su Mu nodded slightly.

"I hope you're not lying."

Tushan holds the jade path.

"Now that things have come to this, what's the point of me lying?"

Wan Xue said in a mournful tone, "Whether he is here or not, you can just send someone to check and you will know."

Su Mu waved his hand, signaling Tushan Hanyu to take care of Wan Xue and Li Guichen.

As for what Wan Xue mentioned, Tushan Hanyu would naturally send someone to get it back.

There is no need to worry about any accidents in the three states of Lingnan.

Not to mention that Tushan Hanyu sent people to Guihua Mountain to retrieve the things left by Li Guichen.

Just when Su Mu and his men worked day and night to forge the first batch of weapons and delivered them to the Zhang family, Zhang Zhuohua, the formation genius of the Zhang family, came to the three states of Lingnan in disguise.

"It's not worth your personal involvement in such a small matter as a transaction."

Su Mu looked at Zhang Zhuohua and said lightly.

He was quite unhappy because he was disturbed while forging weapons.

These days, Su Mu was obsessed with forging weapons and refining pills. Not only did his attainments in weapon forging and alchemy become more and more profound, but even the points on the system panel were accumulating rapidly.

In these days when he can see harvests every day, Su Mu hopes that no one will ever disturb him.

At this rate, he would be able to accumulate 100 million points in just a few months.

If he really had 100 million points, his Guiyi Jue would be able to be elevated to the perfect state.

By then, the martial arts of true essence, the martial arts of becoming a god through incense and the martial arts of becoming a saint through the physical body will all be able to reach the realm of returning to the void.

With these three combined, his strength will surely be able to reach a higher level.

However, if one wants to advance the Eight-Nine Mysterious Arts to the highest level, one hundred million points might not be enough.

Thinking of this, Su Mu looked at Zhang Zhuohua with an increasingly unfriendly gaze.

One hundred million points are not enough, he still has to hurry and earn points. Isn't this kid Zhang Zhuohua delaying his work?
Zhang Zhuohua felt a little uneasy when he saw Su Mu's gaze.

It seems that he has not offended Su Mu?

Although they had fought once before outside Zhangjia Island, he was at a disadvantage that time.

Su Mu is the one who gets the advantage.

I came here this time to deliver money to the three states of Lingnan.

That’s right, the weapons and elixirs provided by the three Lingnan states can indeed help the Zhang family, but the Zhang family also paid a price higher than the market price.

In fact, even if we are not allies now, we are trading partners, a win-win situation.

What does it mean that Su Mu looks at him like this?
Could it be that Su Mu knew that I came here this time to bargain with him?

But before he could even open his mouth, Su Mu looked like he wanted to kill someone.

Should I open my mouth or not?

Zhang Zhuohua muttered to himself and said weakly, "Master Su, is everything okay with the things I brought this time?"

For a moment, Zhang Zhuohua began to suspect that there was something wrong with the treasures sent by the Zhang family.

"no problem."

Su Mu said.

I guess the Zhang family doesn’t have the guts to play tricks on him.

"Let me be frank. You came to the three Lingnan states in person, definitely not for such a trivial matter as trading weapons and elixirs."

Su Mu spoke straight to the point.

"We want to borrow the Zhoutian Xuanji Formation Diagram."

Zhang Zhuohua took a deep breath and said seriously.

"can."

Su Mu said casually.

"Really?"

Zhang Zhuohua was delighted.

"nonsense."

Su Mu said impatiently, "Didn't the person I sent tell you clearly?
As long as you can afford the price, let alone the Zhoutian Xuanji Formation Diagram, I have another immortal weapon in my hand that I can also lend to you."

"You don't need the other one. The Zhou Tian Xuan Ji Formation Diagram is enough."

Zhang Zhuohua said quickly.

The Zhang family has no surplus food now, and being able to borrow one immortal weapon is already their limit. They really cannot afford to borrow a second immortal weapon.

"Zhang Zhuohua, if you're here just for this little thing, then there's no need to waste my time."

Su Mu said impatiently.

With this time, he could at least earn several thousand points.

Who has the time to chat nonsense with Zhang Zhuohua here?

"No, I have something else to do."

Zhang Zhuohua said quickly, "I would like to invite you to join me in dealing with Daxuan's Tiance Army."

"You didn't wake up, did you?"

Su Mu raised his eyelids, looked at Zhang Zhuohua, and said with a smile.

"What does the fight between your Zhang family and Emperor Xuan have to do with me? Why should I join hands with you to deal with the Tiance Army of the Great Xuan? You may have forgotten that I am also the governor of the three Lingnan states of the Great Xuan."

"Master Su, celebrities don't speak in secret, and everyone knows the relationship between you and Emperor Xuan.

If our Zhang family is defeated, then you three states in Lingnan will have to face Emperor Xuan’s Tiance Army directly.

We are inseparable, otherwise, why would you sell weapons and elixirs to us?"

Zhang Zhuohua said.

"make money."

Su Mu said calmly, "Why not make money? I sell weapons and elixirs to you just to make money."

"Okay, even if you just want to make money, it's okay for my Zhang family to pay you to do it, right?"

Zhang Zhuohua said in a deep voice, "As long as you are willing to join forces with me to deal with the Tiance Army, just ask for anything you need."

"Oh? You want to pay me to do it?"

A hint of amusement flashed across Su Mu's face.

He almost forgot that he also had another identity: the Silver-faced Killer of Jinfeng Tower.

If you use this identity to take on tasks, you might be able to earn some points.

Besides, the Zhang family is wealthy.

"Zhang Zhuohua, you have to think it over carefully. With my current status, the appearance fee will not be low."

Su Mu said slowly.

"I know."

Zhang Zhuohua nodded and said, "You are the governor of the three states in the south of Daxuan Lingnan, the commander of the Daxuan Taiping Division, and a world-renowned genius.

However, my Zhang family has accumulated wealth for thousands of years, so we still have some resources. If you ask Lord Su to help us once, we should be able to afford it."

After hearing what Zhang Zhuohua said, Su Mu immediately became interested.

If you say so, then I'm going to ask for a huge price.

He sat up straight and assumed a negotiating stance.

"The weakest member of the Tian Ce Army is at the Fusion Realm. It's not easy to deal with them. The risk is high and the price is high. Do you think it's okay?"

Su Mu said.

"Absolutely no problem."

Zhang Zhuohua said excitedly that he was not afraid of Su Mu asking for too much, he was just afraid that Su Mu would not talk.

As long as we can get a strong man like Su Mu to take action, it will be worth it no matter how high the price we pay.

The Zhang family has been operating overseas for many years and has indeed accumulated a considerable fortune.

Even if he really spends it all, as long as he can defeat Daxuan and rule the world, he can easily earn it back.

"With our attainments in formations, plus the Zhou Tian Xuan Ji formation diagram, although we cannot say that we can crush the Tian Ce Army, we can still trap them for a year or two.

Without the Tiance Army, Daxuan is no match for our Zhang family!"

Zhang Zhuohua said excitedly.

"Come on, let's negotiate the price first."

Su Mu interrupted Zhang Zhuohua and said calmly, "I haven't agreed to take action with you yet."

"I see."

Zhang Zhuohua also suppressed his excitement and said in a deep voice, "With your status and position, I'm afraid you don't care about gold, silver and jewelry--"

"Who says I don't care?"

Su Mu interrupted him and said, "If you can't get anything good out of the trap, enough gold, silver and jewelry won't be a problem."

Zhang Zhuohua: “…”

Su Mu was really different from any strong man he had known before. For strong men of their level, gold, silver and jewelry were readily available, so they generally didn't care about these things.

Besides, Su Mu was the governor of the three Lingnan states, so he had no shortage of gold, silver and jewelry.

He had already thought of a set of remarks, but after hearing Su Mu's long speech, he didn't know how to continue for a moment.

How much gold, silver and jewelry would it take to ask Su Mu to help?

He paused for a moment, took a deep breath, and said slowly, "We in the Zhang family don't have much gold, silver, or jewelry left, and we have to use it to buy weapons and elixirs.

But I have something in my hand, and I want to use it in exchange for your help."

"Oh? What?"

Su Mu asked calmly.

He had made it very clear before, and Zhang Zhuohua was also very clear about the cost of asking him to take action.

In this case, Zhang Zhuohua was still so confident that he could use the thing in his hand to get him to take action once. Su Mu was of course curious about what Zhang Zhuohua was talking about.

To be honest, if you want to ask Su Mu to take action, the price must be at least a divine weapon.

Su Mu felt a little bit of anticipation in his heart. Perhaps, the Zhang family really had the divine weapon in their hands.

Of the seventy-two divine weapons that have appeared in the world today, most have fallen into the hands of Emperor Xuan Yang Xiuhu.

Su Mu is the strongest weaponsmith in the world after all, but now he only has one divine weapon in his hand. This is really embarrassing.

If he hadn't been busy supplying the Zhang family recently, Su Mu actually wanted to look for other divine weapons.

The seventy-two divine weapons are said to contain the secret to becoming a Celestial Lord.

Even if Su Mu couldn't find all 72 divine weapons by himself, he definitely couldn't let Emperor Xuan Yang Xiuhu find them.

It's too late, but it's soon.

Zhang Zhuohua had slowly taken something out of his arms.

As the Zhang family's formation genius, Zhang Zhuohua's status in the Zhang family is much higher than Wan Xue's status in the Shennong Herb Sect.

Moreover, the Zhang family's foundation is much deeper than that of the Shennong Herb Sect.

Zhang Zhuohua has a storage weapon that Wan Xue does not have.

So when Su Mu saw a long rectangular box almost as tall as a person taken out of Zhang Zhuohua's arms, there was no surprise on his face.

"The Divine Weapon of Destiny?"

Su Mu's eyes lit up slightly, and he said with interest.

"No."

Zhang Zhuohua shook his head and said, "Although it is not a divine weapon of destiny, it is definitely more valuable than any divine weapon of destiny!"

As he spoke, Zhang Zhuohua opened the long box, revealing the items inside.

There turned out to be a long-handled "umbrella" inside.

The ribs of the "umbrella" were made of fine steel, and the umbrella cover was also made of a special material, but there were a few shocking holes on it.

"Umbrella!"

Before Zhang Zhuohua opened his mouth to explain, Su Mu had already uttered three words.

A hint of surprise flashed across Zhang Zhuohua's face.

"Lord Su knows it? If so, then there is no need for me to waste my breath.

Lord Su, you should know its value!"

Zhang Zhuohua said with confidence.

Su Mu nodded slightly.

"If it's an umbrella, then you can ask me to help you once."

Su Mu said slowly.

He could certainly devalue the umbrella, but there was no need to do so.

He wanted to squeeze out the Zhang family's surplus value, but he disdained to use such despicable means.

Just do what you want, there's no need to lie.

The Sky-Shaping Umbrella is indeed not a divine weapon, but it is definitely a genuine divine weapon.

It is also an extremely rare magical weapon.

Even Su Mu only knew of the existence of the sky-covering umbrella, but didn't know how to create one.

The Tiangong Weapon Refining Method records the most difficult magical weapons to refine in the world, among which the Sky-Breaking Umbrella ranks third.

In other words, at the level of divine weapons, the Sky-Blocking Umbrella is almost the most difficult to refine.

Although the Sky-Blocking Umbrella is recorded in the Tiangong Refining Method, there is no secret recipe for casting the Sky-Blocking Umbrella.

“The sky-shading umbrella was brought back by my Zhang family’s ancestor after an unexpected encounter overseas.

Speaking of which, if my Zhang family ancestor could have obtained the Sky-Shading Umbrella earlier, the outcome of the battle between my Zhang family and Daxuan would have been unknown."

Zhang Zhuohua said slowly, "Of course, I admit that the Sky-Blocking Umbrella cannot compare to your Zhoutian Xuanji Formation.

But the Heaven Covering Umbrella has its own special effect, which even the Zhoutian Xuanji Formation Diagram cannot do."

Su Mu nodded in agreement.

The umbrella cover of the sky-covering umbrella is made of celestial silk, and the ribs are made of void black iron. Its most basic function is defense.

The divine-level Sky-Covering Umbrella can withstand any attack below the Destiny Realm.

Above the realm of returning to the void is Tianxuan, above Tianxuan is Tianming, and above Tianming is Tianzun.

It can be seen how perverted the defense of the Sky-Shading Umbrella is.

But defense is only the most insignificant function of the umbrella.

Another function of it is amplification.

When the sky-covering umbrella is opened, it can tamper with the laws of heaven and earth within a certain range, thereby achieving an amplification effect.

Simply put, you can use the Sky-Blocking Umbrella to greatly increase the coverage and strength of the formation.

When used in conjunction with the Zhoutian Xuanji Formation Diagram, the power of the formation can even be enhanced dozens or even hundreds of times.

Alternatively, you can use the Sky-shading Umbrella to increase the power of your weapon.

Alternatively, one can use the Sky-Blocking Umbrella to increase the warrior's strength.

Of course, the Sky-Shaping Umbrella can only have one amplification effect at the same time.

Even so, it is still incredible enough.

Su Mu didn't expect that the Zhang family had such a good thing.

"When our ancestors got this umbrella, it was already broken."

Zhang Zhuohua pointed at the hole in the umbrella and said.

He knew that Su Mu was the best weaponsmith in the world, and he couldn't hide this kind of thing from Su Mu, so it would be better for him to confess it himself.

"These holes have little effect on the power of the Umbrella. The only problem is that every time the Umbrella is used, the holes will leak out red lotus fire, burning the user's soul."

Zhang Zhuohua said in a deep voice, "Of course, with your strength, Lord Su, this red lotus fire should not cause too much harm to you."

"You think highly of me."

Su Mu said lightly.

The Red Lotus Karma Fire is a legendary flame that can directly attack a person's soul.

Su Mu had never come into contact with the Red Lotus Karma Fire, so he didn't dare to guarantee whether he could withstand it.

Taking the umbrella from Zhang Zhuohua, Su Mu gently brushed his fingers over the ribs of the umbrella, secretly admiring the exquisite design of the umbrella.

Although there are some damages, it does not affect the power of the umbrella.

It can exist as a killer weapon.

Not to mention anything else, if its amplification is placed on Su Mu himself.

As long as the power of Eight-Nine Mysterious Skills is increased——

As for the red lotus karma fire that he endured afterwards, it was more of a disadvantage than a disadvantage.

After all, when you really need to use the umbrella, you will definitely have to fight for your life.

“The umbrella is nice.”

Su Mu flipped his wrist and put away the umbrella.

"If I just want to help you once, an umbrella is enough.

But you are now facing the Tiance Army."

Su Mu said seriously, "As far as I know, among the three thousand Tiance Army, there are not only those at the Fusion Realm, but also those at the Return to Void Realm.

To deal with them, a broken umbrella may not be enough."

“And, if I’m not mistaken, you want to use the Sky-Blocking Umbrella and the Zhoutian Xuanji Formation Diagram to enhance the power of the trap to trap the Tiance Army.

Then I will suffer even more.”

Su Mu said, "You used the Heaven-shading Umbrella to invite me to take action, and in the end I will also use the Heaven-shading Umbrella to help you deal with the Tiance Army.

If one wants to trap the Tian Ce Army, there is no way to retrieve the Umbrella at will.

Zhang Zhuohua, your wishful thinking is really sound."

"But the umbrella is indeed yours."

Zhang Zhuohua said in a deep voice without changing his expression.

He didn't deny it.

In fact, he did think so.

I'm afraid that the Tian Ce Army won't be able to be trapped for too long just by relying on the Zhou Tian Xuan Ji Formation.

Similarly, he could not deal with the Tian Ce Army with just the Umbrella.

Only by combining the Sky-Blocking Umbrella and the Zhoutian Xuanji Formation Diagram could it be possible to trap the Tiance Army for a year or two.

But he alone could not use the Sky-Blocking Umbrella and the Zhoutian Xuanji Formation at the same time.

However, if one wants to use the Sky-Blocking Umbrella, one must be proficient in formations.

That’s why Zhang Zhuohua made this trip.

After much thought, he decided that Su Mu was the only one in the world who could cooperate with him to accomplish this task.

In order to persuade Su Mu to take action, he even gave the Sky-Shading Umbrella to Su Mu.

"Tell me first, where are you going to set up your formation to trap the Tiance Army?"

Su Mu spoke slowly while playing with the umbrella.

"The Tiance Army is now constantly forcing our Zhang family army,"

Zhang Zhuohua's expression became serious, and he said, "Now they are confronting our Zhang family army near Mangcang Mountain.

The terrain of Mangcang Mountain is just right for setting up the formation."

"Zhang Zhuohua, if you want me to join forces with you, I can."

Su Mu said, "I have the final say on when and where to start."

"You decide?"

Zhang Zhuohua was stunned for a moment.

If you have the final say, then who is asking whom to take action?

I was the one who hired you, so shouldn't you listen to me?

If you have the final say, doesn't that mean I have to listen to you?
Could it be that I, Zhang Zhuohua, have found a master for myself using a first-class magic weapon?

"Master Su, I'm asking you to help our Zhang family, not to command our Zhang family."

Zhang Zhuohua said with a frown.

"Your goal is to trap the Tiance Army, right?"

Su Mu said.

"Correct."

Zhang Zhuohua hesitated.

“So, as long as we can trap the Tiance Army for a year or so, your purpose of hiring me will be achieved.

As for the process, is it important? "

Su Mu said lightly.

The expression on Zhang Zhuohua's face was a little confused. This was the truth, but why did it always sound like something was not right?

"The geographical location of Mangcang Mountain is very suitable for setting up the battle formation, and the Tiance Army is there now. I have calculated that it is the most suitable place."

Zhang Zhuohua struggled and said, "Why can't we do it there?

However, if we had not taken action in Mangcang Mountain, I don’t know how many more people in my Zhang family would have been killed by the Tiance Army.

Lord Su, our goal is not only to trap the Tian Ce Army, but also to trap the Tian Ce Army as soon as possible!

The Tiance Army is too strong. Every day they are allowed to move around will cause our Zhang family to suffer more losses."

"What does it have to do with me?"

Su Mu said calmly, "The sky-covering umbrella is only enough for me to take action once, not including my consideration for your Zhang family.

All I have to do is to accomplish my goal of trapping the Tian Ce Army.

Your Zhang family can't stop the Tiance Army, blame me."

"This……"

Zhang Zhuohua was speechless.

What Su Mu said sounded reasonable, but for some reason, he always felt something was wrong.

He felt that if his elder brother Zhang Zhuoxing was here, he would definitely be able to defeat Su Mu.

But he was not good at speaking, and now he had no idea how to refute Su Mu.

"I can tell you that if you take action in Mangcang Mountain, your chances of failure are more than 70%."

Su Mu continued, "As the saying goes, if you take money from others, you should help them get rid of their misfortunes.

Since I have taken your umbrella, I must make you satisfied.

To be honest, even though we took action in Mangcang Mountain and failed to trap the Tiance Army, it wasn’t a big loss for me. After all, I fulfilled my promise and took action once.

But that's not my style.

Since I have accepted this business, I naturally cannot damage my reputation. If I do it, I have to do it well.

I have personally been to the Tian Ce Army’s camp, and I know them better than you do.

So, if you really want to trap the Tiance Army for a year or so, then listen to me."

Zhang Zhuohua remained silent, his heart in a struggle.

Intellectually, he knew that what Su Mu said was right.

Looking around the world, I'm afraid no one would doubt Su Mu's strength.

Since Su Mu said that Mangcang Mountain is not a suitable place to take action, it is likely that Mangcang Mountain is indeed not a suitable place.

But emotionally, it was difficult for Zhang Zhuohua to accept Su Mu's request.

It was the Zhang family who asked Su Mu to help, not the other way around.

Shouldn't it be clear who is the primary one?
"Zhang Zhuohua, is face more important, or is benefit more important?"

Su Mu said calmly, "Of course, you can refuse, and I also have the right to refuse.

I never do anything I'm not sure of.

I don't think it's worth it to destroy my never-failed brand just for a canopy umbrella.

Even if the deal fails, we still have friendship. If you don't agree, the deal will be cancelled.

Don't worry, this will not affect our other transactions. The transactions of weapons and elixirs will continue as usual.

I will also lend you the Zhou Tian Xuan Ji Formation Diagram."

Zhang Zhuohua gritted his teeth. What was the point of buying more weapons and elixirs if he couldn't trap the Tian Ce Army?

Even if ordinary soldiers were armed to the teeth, they would definitely not be a match for the Tian Ce Army.

But apart from Su Mu, who else in the world can help them trap the Tiance Army?

"I--"

Zhang Zhuohua spat out a few words with a ferocious look on his face. (End of this chapter)
