Han Sen was shocked, to say the least . He had not expected the two to have known each other . He was hoping Xie Qing King would be freed to eliminate Holy-Sword Emperor, but that wasn't looking likely now .

"You remember me?" Xie Qing King asked, with a smirk .

While he was petrified, he had hidden his powers . Now, he did not have to .

Holy-Sword Emperor forced a smile, saying, "I had only just been born during the times you fought in the spirit base . You were a person I greatly admired; I cannot say I expected to see you here . "

Holy-Sword Emperor was lying; he did not mean a word of what he said . One-hundred-thousand years ago, Holy-Sword Emperor was nothing .

But back then, Xie Qing King was not an emperor, just as he wasn't now . With Han Sen referring to him as one, though, he was taken aback and unsure of what to say .

Holy-Sword Emperor had not known of his imprisonment here . Xie Qing King hadn't actually ascended from king to emperor status, it was just Han Sen attempting to mislead Holy-Sword Emperor .

Xie Qing King was made glad, upon hearing that Holy-Sword Emperor knew his name . He did not pay much heed to Han Sen, since he wasn't on the same level as him . This was different than the way he felt about Holy-Sword Emperor, who was .

Xie Qing King's silver eyes rested upon Holy-Sword Emperor, and he asked, "Have you found anything?"

"This is where Phoenix Emperor once lived . There is treasure here, but evidently, it is well-hidden," Holy-Sword Emperor quickly explained .

"Really?" Xie Qing King did not believe him .

Han Sen then chimed in to say, "I am not sure if he has recovered anything from this place, but I have heard he was able to obtain a certain geno item . That is how he was able to enter this place . Everyone knows because he held a big and fanciful celebration for it . "

When Han Sen said this, Holy-Sword Emperor found himself wanting to swiftly explain .

But Xie Qing King cut-in before him, saying, "Give me that item or die . "

"My Emperor, I . . . " This was all Holy-Sword Emperor was able to mutter before Xie Qing King swung forward with silver light .

Holy-Sword Emperor was not going to hand over the item he much cherished, so he decided to flee .

"If only running was so easy . " Xie Qing King ran after him, and both spirits disappeared .

"Are we the same kind?" Brother Seven mumbled to ask, once the spirits were gone from sight .

"Do you know the Water Pavilion?" Han Sen asked, out of nowhere .

Qin Junhao told Han Sen that, if he saw Brother Seven, he should ask this . It would confirm that he was an ally .

When Brother Seven heard what was said, he happily exclaimed, "Junhao made it to Sword-Furnace Shelter?!"

"Yes, he's taking a well-earned vacation in the Alliance . " Han Sen smiled, and then went on to ask, "So, you are Brother Seven?"

Brother Seven nodded and said, "I did not expect someone to be here, and neither did I expect that someone so young could ever possess such frightful power . If Holy-Sword Emperor survives this ordeal and decides to attack your shelter with all his might, at least you can return to the Alliance safely . "

Han Sen smiled and said, "Smoke and mirrors; I'm not actually that strong . The info you provided us saved our lives . I have come here to bring you back . Holy-Sword Emperor doesn't currently know what you're up to, so he can't kill you with the contract you have signed . It's best that we take this opportunity and return to the Alliance while we still can . "

Brother Seven shook his head, though, and said, "It's not worth the risk . There is treasure here, and if we are able to retrieve it, humanity as a whole will improve . It is of vital importance, and it is imperative that we claim it before they do . "

"But you are under contract . Holy-Sword Emperor can easily take it from you," Han Sen said .

But Brother Seven said, "I know . But now that I have met you, things have changed . Are you willing to go with me to get the treasure?"

"Treasure? Where do I sign?" Han Sen paused for a brief moment, but then backtracked to say, "But I'm serious, you should return to the Alliance . Tell me where the treasure is, and then go . You can return once I have slain Holy-Sword Emperor . "

Brother Seven admitted with a wry smile, "Well, I actually don't know where it is . "

He went on to say, "Holy-Sword Emperor's treasure is a map . It leads to an item, located in the Phoenix Eye . But the location of the Phoenix Eye is ever-changing, so I have no idea where it might be . "

"I've been known to risk much for obtaining treasure . But I'm telling you, your life is far more important than what any item can do for you . "

Brother Seven said, "I am not concerned with myself right now . Come, we should find it . Once we claim it, you can ensure it stays out of their hands . "

Brother Seven then brought out a compass . He looked at it with a concentrated expression, as if he was trying to deduce something complex .

After a minute of silence, he said, "Follow me . "

Brother Seven led them in the direction Han Sen had come from . He passed three of the broken walls Xie Qing King had smashed through .

Han Sen followed him with Bao'er still firmly in his arms . It seemed no matter what he pleaded, Brother Seven was determined to stay .

At every turn, Brother Seven consulted his compass . It meant their passage was rather slow . Four hours later, they reached a dead-end; a ten-meter-tall door barred their way . It was a double door, and each side was emblazoned with the painting of a phoenix .
