In another faction, Ji Jian and Long Sheng finally encountered another person from the Divine Realm, Hao Lian Wushuang.

"Miss Hao Lian, I've heard so much about you!" Ji Jian looked at Hao Lian Wushuang, who was clad in a tight-fitting outfit, and a glimmer flashed in his eyes as he said, "Miss Hao Lian is indeed a match for any hero. It's so great to see you safe and sound!"

Hao Lian Wushuang pursed her lips and said, "Do I know you? Are we that familiar?"

Ji Jian chuckled and said, "You meet once, and you know each other twice. After all, we both represent the Divine Realm. Why should we be hostile to each other?"

Hao Lian Wushuang slightly frowned, glanced at Long Sheng beside Ji Jian, snorted softly, and said nothing.

Long Sheng's face didn't look good either. He could see that Ji Jian wanted to win over Hao Lian Wushuang, but Long Sheng felt quite uncomfortable because he had fought with Hao Lian Wushuang before; they were not exactly friends.

"Currently, there are still eight people in the Angel World, each with ample battle strength!" Ji Jian said lightly, "Chen Xun is now missing, Ling Feng has not been seen until now, and now the Divine Realm can only rely on the three of us. If the three of us can't cooperate sincerely, then our defeat is certain!"

Listening to Ji Jian's words, Hao Lian Wushuang and Long Sheng's expressions changed slightly; they agreed with Ji Jian's statement.

"I know you two had conflicts, but now is not the time to scheme over these!" Ji Jian said, "Moreover, it's better to resolve enemies than create them. You two don't have any deep hatred that can't be dissolved; why establish a rival for yourself?"

With Ji Jian mediating between them, both of their faces eased somewhat.

"Humph, aren't some people just too foul-mouthed?" Hao Lian Wushuang said lightly, "Someone who can't even control his own mouth—I don't think he's indispensable!"

Long Sheng's eyebrows went up; he was about to say something but was stopped by Ji Jian: "Brother Long, as a man of honor, why argue endlessly with a woman over trivial matters?"

Meanwhile, Ji Jian sent Long Sheng a message through voice transmission, "Hao Lian Wushuang is Hao Lian Old Ghost's youngest daughter, also Hao Liancheng's Pearl. Do you really want to fight to the death with Hao Liancheng over a trivial matter?"

Long Sheng hesitated for a moment. Although he was known as the Evil Young Master and acted rather casually, he wasn't a fool. Since this involved Hao Lian Old Ghost, Long Sheng naturally backed down, given that he was an Azure Sky Realm expert, even more wicked than the Evil Young Master!

"Actually, cooperating is very simple!" At this moment, Hao Lian Wushuang suddenly said, "I have only one requirement; if you agree, I can agree to cooperate with you to deal with those Bird People!"

"What requirement?" Ji Jian asked.

Hao Lian Wushuang said solemnly, "I want to win the championship of this Heavenly Battlefield Divine Realm Group; if you help me, I can cooperate with you!"

"What a joke..." Long Sheng blurted out.

"Alright! I agree with you!" Ji Jian said this as well.

Long Sheng looked at Ji Jian incredulously: "Hey, has your mind gone bad? Didn't you hear her clearly? She wants the championship; she wants to be number one!"

Ji Jian said, "I heard clearly, and I believe it. Each of us ten who entered the Heavenly Battlefield wants to win the championship and claim the title of number one. It's entirely understandable!"

"If you know, why agree?" Long Sheng asked.

Ji Jian said solemnly, "Why agree? Because we have no other choice! We are now three people; the other side has eight people, all at the Peak of Divine Realm. Do you think we have any chance of winning? If Miss Wu Shuang does not cooperate with us, we can only admit defeat—either become captives or corpses. Which do you choose?"

Long Sheng's throat was dry: "Even so, we…"

"Now is not the time to scheme over this!" Ji Jian said seriously, "Our goal is to beat the Bird People of the Angel World; as for who wins in the end, I think that's not important, is it?"

Long Sheng curled his lips—not important? You should know that the champion's reward is very generous.

Ji Jian looked at Long Sheng and said, "Brother Long, I think you've hit a dead end. The champion's reward is naturally high, but if we defeat the Angel World, we will receive rich rewards even if not champions, just slightly less than the champions."

"Moreover, isn't this a good opportunity to resolve your differences?" Ji Jian said with a smile, "If this can transform weapons into jade and silk, it would make a beautiful story, wouldn't it?"

Long Sheng saw that Ji Jian was determined to win over Hao Lian Wushuang, so he could only sigh: "Okay, I got it, I also agree!"

Ji Jian showed a smile on his face: "Miss Wu Shuang, welcome to become one of us now..."

Suddenly, a distant voice came from all directions.

"People of the Divine Realm, listen well. We now have three of your companions. We demand you appear within an hour, or else, every hour, we will kill one of your companions. Of course, if you can disregard your companions' lives, you can continue to hide like tortoises..."

This phrase was repeated three times, and the faces of the three present became extremely ugly.

They never expected that the group from the Angel World would be so despicable, resorting to hostage killing to compel others to show up.

"Too despicable!" Hao Lian Wushuang's face showed anger: "How dare they do this? They're simply courting death!"

Ji Jian's face also turned extremely grim; the Angel World's people used this move, which was utterly crazy. If Ji Jian and the others didn't show up, once this matter spread, even if they returned to the Divine Realm, they would be sinners of the Divine Realm.

Although what happens in the Heavenly Battlefield is unknown to the outside world, there's no wall that doesn't let wind through in the world, so they faced a dilemma.

"If we appear, we will surely fall into their trap!" Long Sheng said irritably, "How about not showing up, being caught by them would be disastrous."

"No way!" Ji Jian said solemnly, "We can't do that; if we don't show up, even if we defeat the Angel World in the end, we will still be sinners of the Divine Realm."

"How is that possible!" Long Sheng sneered and said, "We are not obligated to rescue them; our ultimate goal is the victory of the Divine Realm!"

Ji Jian smiled bitterly: "Although true, Xiao Huohuo has been caught. The Xiao Family is not a reasonable family; if Xiao Huohuo dies at the hands of the Angels, the Xiao Family has nothing to say, but if..."

Before finishing his words, Long Sheng already understood Ji Jian's point, his expression involuntarily changed; the Xiao Family, that's a family that would even chop themselves when they go mad!
