At his words, almost everyone in the room turned their eyes towards him.
"Don’t talk big." Li Chengji managed a bitter laugh, "What will you use to kill him? His mana increases by at least half every two hours. If we delay further, we won’t even be able to defend Yichang City."
"I have my ways!" Li Xuan turned around and said, "We need to hold on a little longer, wait until all the people in Zhijiang have been evacuated. The Dragon Kings can assist with this, with their Style Speed magic, the process will be much quicker."
Li Chengji wondered if they would have to flood the levee again. But then, timing was everything.
Complete evacuation of Zhijiang would take at least a day.
By that ti, how much will Xiangyue’s mana have grown? How much strength will they have left?
Simultaneously, Li Chengji found so hope.
His son had created nurous miracles to this day. Li Chengji found him quite reliable in his heart.
"We must also disperse the rain clouds nearby, this requires the aid of the Dragon Kings from both south and north, as well as the help from Zhengyi Sect’s Taoist temples in various locations--"
While Li Xuan was still speaking, a golden light suddenly shot in front of him.
When the golden light stopped, it morphed into a three-legged red raven.
Li Xuan recognized it as the ’Three-legged Red Raven’ used by their Liudao Division. He paused for a mont and then grabbed the jade green cylinder tied to the red raven’s foot.
Inside are two scrolls, one of them was a docunt authorizing him to mobilize all human and material resources of Liudao Division along the Yangtze River, granted by Zhu Mingyue.
The other one was an imperial decree from the Jingtai Emperor, with the crimson seal of the cabinet on it.
It was likely that the royal ’Fire-Eye Crow’ couldn’t locate them, so they used the ’Three-legged Red Raven’ from the Liudao Division to send the decree.
Li Xuan slightly relaxed. Before, he was only 60-70% confident, but with this, his chances of winning increased to 80-90%.
The people present frowned, especially Ao Shuying and Xue Yunrou, who looked at each other in dismay.
They had the sa thought. Li Xuan was taking things too lightly. The rain clouds over Chuanshu and Huguang were not so easy to disperse!
If they could be dispersed by human strength, they would have already done it. The dragon clan’s forte was Moving Clouds and Rain. The Taoist temples of the Zhengyi Sect have been casting spells to control the humidity ever since they received the imperial order, but so far, it has not had much effect.

At the sa mont, above Kunlun Mountain, on the east terrace of Jinque Palace.
A young man flew in a rush, reaching the woman in light red palace costu, of elegant and refined temperants, and beautiful features.
"Master!"
As the young swordsman bowed to pay respect, he sneaked a glance at the animal parchnt on the desk.
At this mont, it could be clearly seen on the parchnt, ’Jingtai 13, the first month, twelfth day, Earl Chengyi, Li Chengji, died of severe injuries at the second mont of Wu’; ’Jingtai 13, the first month, thirteenth day, Immortal Master Shuide, Ao Shuying, was sealed within Poyang Lake’, the characters were still clear on the paper.
The young swordsman’s eyes first showed relief, but then he looked puzzled," Master, it has been confird that Bashe Changze has been killed, Wu Zhiqi’s main body has also been sealed. The latest news is that Li Xuan and others have appeared in Yichang, Ao Shuying, tead up to repel Xiangyue. In addition, they seem to have realized that soone has set a trap in Zhijiang, preparing to trap Ao Shuying."
He looked up at the woman sitting cross-legged in front of him, "Master, since the founding of Jinque Palace thousands of years ago, such a thing has never happened. The Qianqiu Brush controls the future, the history it writes is bound to happen. But now--"
The woman in the palace costu appeared calm, "Why the hurry? I ask you, what is the ti now?"
The young swordman raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the sky, "The first month, eleventh day, the third mont of Xu (7:45)."
"Isn’t it still before the second mont of Wu on the twelfth day?"
The woman in the palace costu let out a soft chuckle, playing her fingers on the strings before her, "Before this mont, how do you know that what the Qianqiu Brush wrote won’t happen?"
Her gaze was mysteriously deep, "The Qianqiu Brush is a top divine treasure in the world, this ’result’ was written by a person at the heavenly level, using up seventy years’ worth of Zhenyuan, how could it be easily overturned? Rest assured that sowhere unknown to you, sothing will happen to fulfill its prophecy."
At this point, on the shoulder of the Leshan Giant Buddha, Jiudeng groggily awakened from his ditation, and his golden body was already fully restored, yet his face was pale as paper.
The Huaibi master across from him was already awake, also in poor condition, he looked at Jiudeng, " Brother, you shouldn’t have made a move, you should have woken up, I should have taken care of it. Do you realize that your identity being exposed could ruin our many years of planning at any ti?"
"If it were you, by now you would have died with Xiangyue’s law body in Yichang. You have seen how terrifying they are when they combine their two swords. Even when your mana was at its peak, you couldn’t stop them, let alone now?"
Jiudeng made a slight bow, his face calm, "My identity being exposed is better than you and Xiangyue being beheaded by them. At least now, both of us can still look forward to great things and we still have a younger brother in the Court."
The middle-aged man wearing a scholar’s robe and carrying a longsword on his back, stood with his hands behind him, looking at the river surface, "Great things my ass! The water level here is still around twenty feet below the Buddha’s knee and its rising speed is getting slower and slower. With Changze and Wu Zhiqi no longer controlling the water, it will take at least another ten days for the water level to rise!"
He looked calm and said, "No worry, the water level is only because Ao Shuying and all the dragons under her command are still striving to suppress it over in Yichang. Once Xiangyue repels them, the water level will rise sooner or later."
"Besides, this ti, both the Huaibi master and I can openly assist."
Just then, nine massive snakeheads suddenly shot out of the water. They looked up at the sky and let out a roar that echoed hundreds of miles away. This imdiately made the dark clouds in the sky gather more densely, and countless raindrops, like the pouring of a heavy downpour, crashed down from the sky.
