Hearing this, Laozi could not help but frown.
He was no fool. He could tell that Hongjun was being sincere this time; otherwise, he would not be so anxious, much less seek him out for cooperation.
But precisely because of this, the emotions in Laozi's heart grew increasingly heavy.
Based on what Hongjun had said, that so-called treasure was definitely no simple matter. Even the value it carried was bound to be terrifying.
At that thought, Laozi did not state his position directly. Instead, he looked toward Hongjun and said, "What exactly is this treasure you speak of?"
"If that is all, This Seat will not cooperate with you."
"Compared to anything else, This Seat is more interested in killing you. Even if you lost something, that would be a good thing in my eyes."
Hongjun's face darkened at those words.
How could he not understand Laozi's meaning? He was clearly demanding benefits.
Moreover, the latter clearly held the initiative. Hongjun also knew full well that he could not reclaim the thing in Luohu's hands alone. He would still need Laozi's strength to accomplish it.

"Two nearly intact Chaos Demon God corpses. So long as they can be completely absorbed and mastered, they can be forged into a true body with combat power beyond the Dao Ancestor level!"
"Though it would not belong to oneself, it would still be a genuine Hunyuan Wuji Sage-level combat force. It would bring tremendous benefits, and one could even advance further without borrowing the power of the Heavenly Dao or Humanity Dao!"
"And once Luohu completely masters them, it means he will obtain two such combat forces. By then..."
Hongjun did not continue, but the corners of his lips
