"Buzz—"
Chen Sansi pressed two fingers together, and the Magic-eating Cicadas began accumulating mana, preparing for self-destruction.
"Enough!"
The Green Wood Old Demon looked startled: "I-I agree to your terms!"
Chen Sansi extended his hand.
"..."
The face of the Green Wood Old Demon rippled continuously, and through gritted teeth, he said fiercely, "What if you go back on your word after I hand over the item?!"
"You can rest assured, elder."
Chen Sansi said, "I can swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao, ensuring the withdrawal of the Magic-eating Cicadas as soon as I receive the item!"
The Green Wood Old Demon glared malevolently, while slowly raising his left arm, spiritual power gathering into a piece of wood etched with auspicious runes, which he then severed and handed over to the White Robe.
Chen Sansi took the Essence Wood, used his Divine Sense to inspect it, and after confirming there were no issues, he slowly retreated.
"Now get lost!"
