Wang Jian's stipulation for joining the Wind Cloud House was clear: he sought the sect's assistance in stemming the flow of Dwarven Race weaponry and armor to the Barbarian Race in the Southern Region.
Given the strategic location of the Celestial Nexus Immortal Dominion to the south of the Central Region, it had the potential to control the passage between the two regions, making this condition plausible.
However, the Wind Cloud House's leaders didn't immediately acquiesce to Wang Jian's terms. Instead, they posed a counter-condition of their own.
The sect had been formulating plans to launch a surprise attack on a formidable Devil Nest situated near their territory.
This nest was notorious for its immense size and harbored an uncertain number of Emperor Realm experts, posing a significant threat.
The Wind Cloud House's proposition was that Wang Jian should commit to aiding them during this ambush.
