Chapter 292

"More in-depth cooperation?"

Faced with Jiang Hao's proposal, Tianshu High Priest Wu couldn't help but look startled.

He vaguely guessed something, and his eyes flickered slightly.

Neither agreed nor refused.

Instead, he looked at the other twelve high priests and communicated secretly.

Jiang Hao did not urge them, but waited quietly for them to finish their communication.

After about half a cup of tea, Tianshu High Priest Wu looked up at Jiang Hao again and asked: "I wonder if there are any rules for the in-depth cooperation that Emperor Xia mentioned, what do our priests need to pay, and then what can we get?"

Jiang Hao heard this but said leisurely:

"Now the East Tibetan Dao Realm is in turmoil, especially the new round of the Qianlong Competition is about to begin. The Ji family has won nine consecutive championships. If they win again, they will win ten consecutive victories. There are also rumors that the ancestor of the Ji family may take this opportunity to go further. I believe you and others should have heard of this statement?"

Tianshu High Priest Wu and others nodded when they heard it.

"We have also heard of this rumor. If we are right, this should be someone in the Dongzang Dynasty who secretly sent someone to spread it. After all, once the Ji family goes one step further, the Dongzang Dynasty will be the one that will be most affected."

"So, when two tigers fight, one will be injured. Seeing that the chaos in the Dongzang Dao domain is coming, if we don't want to be affected, we can only form an alliance to protect ourselves."

Jiang Hao said seriously,

"To be honest with you, our major northern forces have now secretly formed an alliance. After all, facing the two giants in the south, our northern forces are much weaker. Only by uniting together can we ensure safety."

"And my proposal is that I hope the Jiwu clan can join our Northern Alliance and become a part of our Northern Alliance."

"When the time comes, everyone will help each other. No matter which force is attacked by foreign enemies, other forces will do their best to help. What do you think of this kind of cooperation...?"

After speaking, Jiang Hao looked up at Tianshu Dajiwu and others.

"Northern Alliance? But our witch clan is a southern power. Wouldn't it be inappropriate to join the Northern Alliance?"

A great witch couldn't help but ask.

"How is this inappropriate?"

Jiang Hao's expression remained unchanged, and he shrugged and said,

"The Northern Alliance is just a name. If you don't like it, the name of the alliance can be changed to the Southern Alliance, or directly to the witch alliance."

"Uh--"

Seeing Jiang Hao so casual, the great witch who spoke suddenly froze, and didn't know what to say for a while.

If that's the case, the name of the alliance doesn't seem to have much impact.

"The real problem is how to ensure that everyone will keep their promises. If they only agree verbally, but don't contribute when they are in danger, or just perfunctorily do things, then isn't it useless?"

The great witch Tianquan pointed directly to the core issue.

"This question is simple."

Jiang Hao flipped his right hand and quickly took out a leather scroll.

"This is the contract scroll. It is indeed hard to believe without evidence, but as long as you swear with your soul and sign the contract scroll, then unless you are willing to damage your soul, you can only act according to the contract, which is much more secure!"

"Is this really a contract scroll?"

Looking at the animal skin scroll in Jiang Hao's hand, everyone was surprised.

Contract scrolls are very rare. It is said that only powerful people with profound attainments in the soul can make them, and the manufacturing process is very troublesome, so contract scrolls have always been invaluable.

The role of the contract scroll is just as Jiang Hao said, swear with the soul and sign the contract scroll. In this way, if any party violates the contract, the soul will inevitably be damaged.

And it is not the soul that is damaged in the ordinary sense, but that part of the soul will be directly gone.

The importance of the soul is self-evident. For any strong person, it is the foundation.

Even if it is only slightly damaged, it may affect the future.

If a part of it is missing, it will directly cut off the path and there will be no hope in the future.

This is something that no strong person can accept.

"This contract scroll was purchased by us at the Hundred Beasts Mountain at a high price. There is absolutely no problem."

At this time, the Nine-headed Venerable who was sitting next to him also spoke in a deep voice.

That's right, this contract scroll was exactly what Jiang Hao looted from the Hundred Beasts Mountain Treasure House.

There are three copies in total. After Jiang Hao read it, he thought it was good and took it for himself without hesitation.

Seeing the doubts in the eyes of the people of the Sacrifice Witch Clan, Jiang Hao did not hide it and directly passed the contract scroll to everyone for inspection..

After a while, it was confirmed that there was indeed no problem with the contract scroll, and everyone in the Jiwu clan couldn't help but be moved.

If there is a contract scroll as a guarantee, then joining the Northern Alliance might be a good idea.

The thirteen great priests looked at each other, and finally the Tianfu Great Priest took the initiative to say: "Why don't I sign the contract on behalf of the Jiwu clan?"

Among the thirteen great priests, he is the oldest. Although he has successfully broken through the Saint Emperor realm, he has no potential in the future. Even if something unexpected happens and he loses part of his soul, it is not unacceptable.

Jiang Hao smiled when he heard this, and did not object. He just said: "If it is just you, then we can only send the Lord of Shengwu City to sign a contract with you."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Jiwu clan glared at each other.

Others don't know the situation of the Lord of Shengwu City, so how could they not know.

The Lord of Shengwu City is just a corpse puppet now. What's the point of him signing the contract?

"It seems that you are not willing, so my suggestion is that all the Saint Emperor Realm strongmen present sign the contract together. In this way, no one dares to violate it, which is the most guaranteed!"

Jiang Hao did not ask the thirteen great priests to sign the contract together. After all, the number of people is indeed a bit too many.

But as long as the four leading Saint Emperor Realm great priests sign the contract, it is enough to ensure that the priests dare not violate the content of the contract.

After hearing what Jiang Hao said, the priests were reluctant, but seeing Jiang Hao's firm attitude, they also knew that there was no room for negotiation on this matter.

Then they discussed the specific content of the agreement.

For example, in what situation do you need help, how many people should be sent at least, how to contact each other, and so on...

Jiang Hao guessed correctly that the priests have not had a good time recently.

After all, the two neighbors next door are man-eating tigers.

The only friend, Moro Temple, had already surrendered to the Dongzang Dynasty.

Now only their priests are left, and they are under great pressure.

Now that many forces in the north have secretly formed an alliance, if they can join it, leaving aside other aspects, they should have no problem protecting themselves.

Of course, they don’t know that the so-called Northern Alliance is purely a guise, and in fact it is Jiang Hao’s one-man show.

This is also the reason why Jiang Hao specifically reminded Ge Wanqian and others before this.

In a sense, this is actually a trap.

As long as the witch clan signs the contract, it is equivalent to being tied to their chariot.
