Chapter 1061: Testing Each Other, Terms for Release

Although each harbored ulterior motives, since the other party was willing to negotiate, Qin Xiao was more than happy to oblige.

“Senior, my coming here was an accident. This place was originally the exclusive secret realm of a force under my banner, opening once every ten years. This time happened to be the opening period.
