Jiang Dali's mind had already come up with another remedial measure that might be of some use—if the worst-case scenario occurred and the Divine Stone couldn't be retrieved before disaster struck, then he'd try to kidnap the Fake Phoenix and the Fire Qilin, sending them to the base of Leifeng Tower. Using the power of these two major fire attribute spiritual beasts, they might replace the Eighteen Divine Monk Relics to block the water outlet, forcibly delaying the outbreak of the calamity.
In this world, there likely weren't any more suitable fire attribute exotic beasts to do this, despite the considerable difficulty in executing it.
Especially when it came to forcibly kidnapping the Fire Qilin; without subduing the immensely powerful Demon Dragon as an accomplice, it was nearly impossible to accomplish.
On that day, Jiang Dali rode the Demon Hawk, bid farewell to Yue Fei and Xiao Qiushui, and returned to Black Wind Village with Wang Yuyan and Murong Qingqing.
