"You may let that young lady leave, but you must stay."
Within the Divine Demon Forbidden Land, the voice of the ancient God and Devil Xing Jiang rang out, spreading throughout the Minor Chaos World.
Ning Chen halted and looked up at the void, a trace of coldness flashing through his abyss-deep eyes.
"May I ask why Senior wishes for this junior to remain?"
Ning Chen asked calmly.
"You need not concern yourself with that. I will not take your life. You need only swear an oath, and I will send that young lady away," Xing Jiang said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Ning Chen narrowed his eyes. After a moment, he said, "What if this junior refuses?"
When something was out of the ordinary, there had to be something sinister at work. This ancient God and Devil so desperately wanted him to stay; there was surely some unspeakable purpose behind it.
"Do you wish for that young lady to remain trapped here forever? Without my guidance, you will never be able to leave this Minor World," Xing Jiang threatened.
"Whether I can leave is no concern of Senior's. Since this junior could enter, I will certainly find a way to get out."
Ning Chen answered coldly, then said no more and continued forward.
"Stubbornly refusing to see reason!"
Above the void, Xing Jiang flew into a rage and roared in a low voice.
As the God and Devil grew enraged, Divine Demon Qi churned through the chaotic world. The laws of heaven and earth shifted, and boundless power pressed down upon Zhì Mìng below without end.
"If you were alive, I might fear you somewhat. But you have been dead for over a hundred thousand years. What do you have left to trap me with?"
Ning Chen snorted
