A Hot Commodity and a Deal
Everyone noticed this God of Slaughter on the battlefield.
Jian Changsheng's Aura and actions were truly too conspicuous. While the Hanging Jade Domain was still bitterly maintaining its defense line, he had already slaughtered his way into the rear of the Calamity wave with a single sword, casually slashing two Rank 7s. This battle record was enough to alarm the entire Domain.
One must know, apart from the three current Rank 8s of the Hanging Jade Domain, one couldn't find a single person fiercer than Jian Changsheng anymore.
Moreover, looking at this posture, if Jian Changsheng continued slaughtering, it wasn't even entirely impossible for him to contend against Rank 8 Calamities...
"Who is he??"
This question appeared in everyone's minds.
"Is he soone from our Hanging Jade Domain?"
"Is he Lord Tian Huai's friend? Otherwise, he wouldn't charge out to help now, right?"
"He doesn't look like it either... He seems to simply want to fight his way out, completely having no intention of cooperating with us to resist the Calamity wave."
"He's too strong. If we can recruit him, our Hanging Jade Domain's chances of winning will increase significantly!"
The sa thought also appeared in the minds of all the higher-ups of the Hanging Jade Domain.
Even Tian Huai stopped tangling with the Rank 8 Calamity. After retreating a little, he couldn't help but ask,
"Why do I feel like I've seen him sowhere before? Do you guys know who he is?"
"I know." Huai ng's voice rang out, "He's the Six of Spades of the Dusk Society, his real na is Jian Changsheng."
"Soone from the Dusk Society??"
Hearing the words "Dusk Society", everyone's faces turned strange.
"Yes, I had contact with those people from their 6-series before... Although they have been branded with infamy by the outside world, they haven't actually done any bad things. Back in the Tianshu Domain, if it wasn't for them, we probably would have all died at the hands of the Path of Ghosts."
Huai ng was also one of the people who personally experienced the Wuji Domain incident, knowing that the charges against Chen Ling, Jian Changsheng, and the others were purely fabricated. Back when the Alliance Council sentenced Chen Ling as guilty, he, along with the other owners of the Celestial Star Positions and Han ng, had even argued on Chen Ling's behalf, but unfortunately, it didn't have much effect.
"So, they can actually be won over?" A higher-up of the Hanging Jade Domain was sowhat pleasantly surprised.
Now that the Hanging Jade Domain was in imminent danger, and such a Calamity nesis happened to appear, the higher-ups would naturally think of all ways to win him over and protect their own Domain... just like The Blind Man of the South Sea Domain.
When all five major Human Domains were deeply embroiled in war, the existence of a war machine like Jian Changsheng was definitely a hot commodity.
He was soone from the Dusk Society, so what?
Special asures for special tis. As long as Jian Changsheng could defect to the Human Domains and participate in the war to kill Calamities, the other Domain higher-ups could let bygones be bygones.
Tian Huai's gaze focused on the direction Jian Changsheng left in, not knowing what he was thinking.
...
The black Killing Intent figure advanced straight ahead in the Calamity wave.
It was unknown whether the Thought Calamity discovered Jian Changsheng's intention, but Jian Changsheng only felt that the deeper he went, the fewer Calamities there were nearby, as if soone had specially opened a green channel straight to the Gray World for him, wishing he would leave here earlier.
Jian Changsheng's original intention was just to leave the Hanging Jade Domain. Since those Calamities didn't provoke him, he was also too lazy to actively kill them. A subtle balance ford between the two, allowing the trio of Jian Changsheng, Sun Bumian, and Jiang Xiaohua to beco increasingly unimpeded in the Calamity wave!
Just as he was about to charge out of the Calamity encirclent and enter the Gray World, a puppet bird suddenly flew nimbly across the sky, approaching Jian Changsheng who was running wildly on the ground.
At first, Jian Changsheng thought it was a blind Calamity and subconsciously wanted to chop it down with his sword.
But in the next second, a voice ca from the bird:
"I am Tian Huai of the Esoteric Sect, Jian Changsheng, we've t back in the Wuji Domain."
Jian Changsheng was stunned,
"Oh... it's you? I thought it was a Calamity."
"Ti is pressing, so I'll make a long story short... Huai ng and I have already convinced the other higher-ups. We are willing to cancel the wanted order on you, as well as the Six of Clubs and Six of Diamonds behind you in the Hanging Jade Domain, and grant you formal, legal identities."
Jian Changsheng raised an eyebrow, "This sounds a bit familiar..."
"The Esoteric Sect has never had any conflict with you all. And when the Alliance Council frad you before, we also stepped forward to argue for you... That abstention vote was cast by my direct confidant."
"Good sincerity... tell , what do you want?"
"We want you." Tian Huai spoke solemnly, "As long as you can help our Hanging Jade Domain repel the Calamities and overco this difficult hurdle, no matter what attitude the other Domains have toward the three of you, our Hanging Jade Domain is willing to accept you."
"If I rember correctly, no matter what Domain it is, anyone who sees a Dusk Society mber must issue a wanted order and arrest them... This is the content of the Human Pact, right? Can you really violate it?"
"Out of the Nine Great Realms that forged the pact, only five are left. After this war ends, god knows how many will survive." Tian Huai paused for a mont, "Besides, if the Domain is gone, what's the point of abiding by a piece of paper pact?"
"You have a point."
Jian Changsheng was tempted.
Dusk Society mbers obtaining legal identities in a Domain was sothing that had never happened before. If they could really do it, they would never have to wander around like rats crossing the street, not knowing where their next al would co from.
"I can agree." Jian Changsheng pondered for a mont, "But I have one condition."
"Speak."
"Besides the three of us, I want a legal identity for the Six of Hearts too."
"This..."
Tian Huai hesitated a little. No matter what, the Six of Hearts, Chen Ling, was the Calamity of Mockery after all... Giving a World-Ending Calamity a legal identity in the Human Domains? This was simply unheard of!
But the difference between Tian Huai and the higher-ups of other Domains was that he personally experienced the Calamity of Mockery incident in the Wuji Domain. The Calamity of Mockery was indeed very terrifying, but Chen Ling wasn't a wicked person... It could be said that their lives were saved by Chen Ling.
Tian Huai wasn't the Lord of the South Sea. He didn't have that much disgust towards the Calamity of Mockery, let alone Chen Ling. He believed Chen Ling was controllable.
What's more, the current Hanging Jade Domain didn't have a Demigod holding the fort. The number of Rank 8s was only one-third of the Vain Mountains', and their other Combat Power was also lacking by a large margin... If they continued fighting conventionally, their chances of winning were extrely slim.
Under these circumstances, only by making a risky move could they possibly strive for a sliver of survival...
"Alright, I promise you!" Tian Huai gritted his teeth and still agreed to Jian Changsheng's request.
Jian Changsheng's eyes lit up, and he imdiately stopped his footsteps.
Tian Huai's bird puppet had already flown back to the Hanging Jade Domain. Jian Changsheng regained his senses and found that Sun Bumian and Jiang Xiaohua had already caught up.
"Why did you stop charging? Weren't we about to break out just ahead?" Sun Bumian asked in confusion.
"We can delay finding Hearts for a day or two."
"What???"
Jian Changsheng stretched his muscles and bones, the divine ring of Killing Intent silently swirling behind him. He looked at the nurous Calamities behind him, a faint smile curving at the corner of his mouth,
"I suddenly feel that it's not very good to go find him empty-handed... Perhaps, we can bring him a 'gift'."
