"You scoundrel, Nangong Yan! I won't argue with you. Just you wait. The Sacred Altar will soon know of your betrayal, and do you know your fate? I don't need to remind you, you'll face Heavenly Punishment, do you understand Heavenly Punishment!"
Old Chen Tou roared. He had intended to seize the Chaos Bead but was now facing death. It had to be said that this time, his calculation regarding Su Han had completely backfired.
However, facing the Chaos Bead, maintaining composure was as difficult as ascending to heaven. Old Chen Tou could only place his hope on Nangong Yan, hoping she would turn against Su Han and fight him together.
"What about it, Nangong Yang? You probably don't know about Heavenly Punishment, do you? If that thing hits you, hehe, I'm not exaggerating when I say that all the pain in the world would be ten thousand times less severe than it. And once it hits, it's for thousands upon thousands of years. You'll even wish for death sooner, hehe..."
As Old Chen Tou spoke, he let out a cold laugh. Speaking of Heavenly Punishment, it was something even the Ancestors of the Sacred Altar feared. Once targeted by Heavenly Punishment, escape was impossible. Even appearing in the Spirit Realm would result in punishment!
Yet, at this moment, Nangong Yan wore an expression of disdain!
Compared to the so-called Heavenly Punishment, her primary concern was the life and death of this old man before her. Without further ado, Nangong Yan drew her sword and walked towards Old Chen Tou.
"Old Chen Tou, you don't need to talk to me about Heavenly Punishment or anything like that. I'll ask you one thing: even if I let you go now, let you return, can you escape the Sacred Altar's punishment? Heh, don't be ridiculous. I'll be even worse off than before. Don't think I don't know that Heavenly Punishment can only be used three or four times. Saving me... might not be enough!"
These words struck Old Chen Tou with complete despair.
Facing the current Nangong Yan, he couldn't escape. If he fought, he couldn't win. He could only be slaughtered!
Suddenly!
Old Chen Tou looked towards Su Han behind him, as if grasping a lifesaver. He fell to his knees with a thud and said, "Young friend, oh young friend! I know how to use the Chaos Bead. If you have Nangong Yan spare my life, I'll tell you, I swear!"
At this, Su Han sneered. Someone actually dared to negotiate terms with him.
"Hmm, then tell me," Su Han said.
Old Chen Tou thought there was hope and immediately poured out the information like beans from a bamboo tube, "This Chaos Bead is a divine artifact. It has three layers of seals. Judging by its current state, the first layer of seal hasn't been broken yet. As long as you break through all three layers of seals, you'll possess world-destroying power... uh, that is, if you can withstand it yourself. If you can't, it's best not to try..."
The old man rambled on. This information was indeed new to Su Han.
Looking at the old man before him, Su Han was surprised!
"Where did you get this information?"
"This is all from the Sacred Altar's library. After I entered the Sacred Altar back then, I was always the guardian of the library. Alas... it's been a hundred years now. I've reached the end of my life. My only wish is to witness the power of this Chaos Bead, nothing more!"
Upon hearing this, Su Han raised an eyebrow. "That's easy enough. Since you don't want to die, you must become Nangong Yan's servant. If you do that, I can tell her not to kill you for now!"
As soon as these words were spoken.
The old man was stunned for a moment. After all, he had guessed that Su Han's identity was extraordinary, but he hadn't confirmed it.
Now, hearing Su Han speak as if he could command Nangong Yan, the old man was utterly shocked!
"You are?"
"I... am Su Han. Nangong Yan is my subordinate. As for you, you're not worthy of being my subordinate, so you can only be Nangong Yan's servant. Do you understand this?" Su Han said.
The old man was dumbfounded on the spot. After all, he knew Nangong Yan was a top genius and an Emperor Realm powerhouse. Such a celestial being was willing to become a servant under Su Han's command; it was simply sensational.
"You're unwilling?"
Su Han observed. If the old man refused, he could send him on his way at any time. After all, this old man knew too much, and most importantly, he knew about Su Han possessing the Chaos Bead, so he absolutely could not let him leave alive.
As soon as the words fell, the old man immediately shook his head vigorously!
"I'm willing, I'm willing! It's just that I'm shocked. This truly is a case of 'there is always someone better than you, and there is always a heaven beyond the heavens'..."
After some maneuvering, Old Chen Tou soon became Nangong Yan's servant. Moreover, the contract they signed was not a life-and-death contract, but another, more self-serving one.
A Loyal Servant Contract!
This meant that if Nangong Yan was displeased or in a bad mood, she could take Old Chen Tou's life. Furthermore, if Nangong Yan was in mortal danger, Old Chen Tou would die with her.
As for Old Chen Tou, if he died, it would not cause any significant harm to Nangong Yan, unlike Su Han's life-and-death contract, where Nangong Yan's death would cause Su Han considerable damage.
"Chen Jishi, greetings to my master, and greetings to my master's master!" Old Chen Tou prostrated himself, having become Nangong Yan's servant.
Su Han then helped him up and asked, "Chen Jishi, forget it, I'll just call you Old Chen Tou. Tell me, how can I seal this opening so that this passage cannot be used?"
Upon hearing this, Old Chen Tou's spirits immediately lifted!
When it came to formations, he was no longer sleepy. He spoke for over ten minutes, during which Su Han couldn't interject. In one breath, he explained the entire origin and development of the formation, making Su Han realize that this old man was indeed a talent!
"Good, good, good, Old Chen Tou. According to you, we just need to sever one crucial point, and the spiritual energy of the Spirit Realm won't be able to flow in. Those big guys won't be able to come over, is that right?" Su Han asked.
Old Chen Tou nodded repeatedly!
"Master, you are correct. We only need to destroy some of the acupoints. The repair time alone, at least three months, at most several years, will be enough for them to deal with. As for when we want to open it, hehe, we just need to fill in the damaged points!"
"Hmm?"
Su Han looked confused and then asked, "Then won't it take us a long time to fill it back in?"
"Not at all, not at all! Since we know where the damage is, it's naturally very simple to fill it. Moreover, don't you have the Chaos Bead? In my opinion, when we want to pass through, filling it back in will take at most two or three days!"
Hearing this, Su Han burst into laughter!
It seemed that not killing Chen Jishi just now was indeed the right choice. This Old Chen Tou had helped him solve a major problem.
And without this passage, it would be a fool's dream for any expert above the quasi-Emperor realm from the Spirit Realm to come over!
