Chen Xuan slowly spoke, doing his utmost to persuade Old Xin.
Beside them, Jin He and Ye Xiao clenched their fists tightly, anxiously watching the negotiation unfold between Chen Xuan and Old Xin.
Once Chen Xuan finished speaking, Old Xin let out a slight sigh. He cast a complex glance at Chen Xuan and gritted his teeth, saying, "Logically, it is my responsibility to guard the demons. I shouldn’t make such a grave mistake for your sake."
"You have done me a great favor, and since it doesn’t involve the demons I am guarding, perhaps I can..." Old Xin's gaze flickered as he quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind.
Chen Xuan knew that his earlier words had made an impact. He smiled slightly and said softly, "Don’t worry, Old Xin. I won’t let you down. I just need you to send a cow back; I definitely won’t let any demon escape."
Old Xin raised an eyebrow. He turned to glance at Jin He and Ye Xiao nearby, pondering for a moment before tilting his head to look at Chen Xuan. "Are you sure you won’t betray me?"
"Absolutely not!" Chen Xuan replied earnestly. "You know what kind of person I am."
After a long pause, Old Xin finally sighed in resignation. "Fine, this request isn’t too unreasonable. With the vast army of the celestial realm, sending one cow over shouldn’t delay anything significant. I’ll help you this once."
"Thank you!" Chen Xuan exclaimed, his eyes lighting up with excitement.
Meanwhile, Jin He observed Chen Xuan's expression and felt a surge of excitement as he seemed to guess the outcome. He quickly approached them.
At that moment, Old Xin shook his head with a serious expression. "You saved my wife; if I don’t help you with this small favor, then what kind of celestial being would I be? Wouldn’t that make me no different from a demon?"
Jin He was taken aback. "That’s too much!"
Old Xin said nothing more and hurriedly left.
After a while, Old Xin returned, holding something familiar to Chen Xuan—the Formation Jade Plate!
With a serious expression, Old Xin looked at Chen Xuan and asked, "Little Brother Chen, you saved my wife's life, and I wanted to repay you by seeking ascension to immortality. To help you out, I pulled some strings to bring out this Formation Jade Plate. You can still back out if you regret it now!"
"Oh?" Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow at his words.
Beside him, Jin felt a sudden tightness in her chest and nervously bit her lip.
Seeing this, Chen Xuan smiled faintly and replied, "I don't regret it. Let's proceed as planned."
Upon hearing this, Jin's expression relaxed immediately.
"Good!" Old Xin gave Chen Xuan a meaningful glance before walking towards the Cattle Shed with the Formation Jade Plate in hand.
He quickly formed hand seals!
Chen Xuan felt a shift in the air as a massive Black Portal appeared out of nowhere in front of the Cattle Shed, emanating an overwhelming aura of pressure—the Heavenly Gate!
Jin He and Ye Xiao gasped in unison, their eyes fixed on the imposing black door with intense anticipation.
Just then, a green figure rushed forward, seemingly trying to dash into the black portal!
"Don't make it difficult for me!"
Standing at the entrance, Old Xin seemed to have anticipated this situation long ago. He calmly extended his hand, grasping at the air, and conjured a massive white palm that gently swiped, sending the figure flying!
The figure managed to stabilize itself after being thrown off balance. Chen Xuan looked up and was shocked to see it was Qing Yao!
Damn it! Let me go back! Qing Yao gritted her teeth, glaring fiercely at Old Xin.
Old Xin shook his head and smiled lightly. "The negotiations between the Qingmu Divine Clan and the celestial realm are not yet concluded. According to our agreement, I cannot let you leave."
"I'm sorry, but you have to stay here."
"I won't!" Qing Yao's composure shattered as she angrily lunged toward the Heavenly Gate once more.
Old Xin simply shook his head, waving his hand casually, and Qing Yao was sent flying back several hundred meters.
"I said no, and I mean no," Old Xin declared with an air of authority. At that moment, he appeared entirely different from the smiling figure of Ri Na!
