To head to the Heavenly Gate and rescue Nameless, the sooner the better.
But haste without preparation would lead to another outcome—more haste, less speed.
Both Jiang Dali and the Sword Saint understood this.
Thus, after Jiang Dali raised this point, the Sword Saint agreed. However, he sternly rejected Jiang Dali's suggestion of "switching to another body" for battle. Had the one making the proposal not been Jiang Dali, the Sword Saint might have felt insulted enough to reward him with a sword strike.
This outcome did not surprise Jiang Dali. It was no different from someone telling him, "Since you're so strong, why not swing a hammer and become a blacksmith?" The harm was slight, but the insult was profound.
Therefore, Jiang Dali could only temporarily set aside his plans for Guang Chengzi's Immortal Bone Remnant.
With the Sword Saint resisting the matter, no matter how strong Jiang Dali was, he could not force a bull to drink. Moreover, having a primordial spirit take residence in Guang Chengzi's body and wield that invulnerable Immortal Bone Remnant was no easy task. There were many details requiring careful preparation.
The two returned to the Black Wind Stronghold's Mount Emei Branch to stay for the time being...
After washing up and changing clothes, Jiang Dali issued a faction mission, instructing the players and faction members to search the world for Mud Bodhisattva.
He did not have much time left. With every additional day, Di Shitian's injuries would grow lighter, so Jiang Dali had already decided to set out within a week.
But if they could find Mud Bodhisattva within that week, their chances of rescuing Nameless and dealing with Di Shitian would undoubtedly be far greater.
After all, Di Shitian himself was a great occultist, and an exceptionally formidable one at that.
