Venerable He looked at Hong and revealed the smile of an old senior.
"Hong, you've come here personally. It seems that you truly value the cooperation with us immortals. In that case, let's cut the formalities and get right down to business."
Hong coming personally was beyond Venerable He's expectations.
In his mind, they should have found a neutral space to meet and have this discussion, or perhaps even communicated through proxies.
Unexpectedly, not only did Hong come to talk to him personally, but he also fearlessly entered the territory of the immortal race to do so.
What did this mean?
It meant Hong had enough confidence to ensure his own safety.
Of course, the immortal race would not make a move, because it was not in line with their usual style. The celestial race probably would not as well, but the demon race definitely would.
