When Master Wuchao refused to go to Flame Mountain to help, Jiang Liu pondered over the matter and felt he had no choice but to try asking Red Boy for assistance.
Of course, it wasn't possible to just ask directly; could Red Boy just eagerly rush off to help?
Although on the surface he seemed to have a decent relationship with Red Boy, the Buddhist Sect and the Demon Clan were adversaries after all. Hence, he couldn't appear too familiar, otherwise even a blind man would realize the unusual nature of his relationship with Red Boy.
Therefore, he used the pretext of a high-stakes gamble to divert attention.
Sure enough, after losing the bet, Red Boy, abiding by the gambling agreement, agreed to give Flame Mountain a try, and all things clicked into place.
A party of three traveled through the sky, and soon, they returned to the vicinity of Flame Mountain.
