章 462: Maze

"So tell me, what went on?" I asked.

Meng Hao sighed before he said, "Her soul is like I said, captured within one of the Fire Lord's incense pots. It hasn't been used or emptied, usually, they spend a long time on some random shelf waiting for the day that the Fire Lord needs sustenance, or that's what I've been told. And since he's currently in Secluded Cultivation, I'm desperately needing to grow my strength to get her back," he said.

"Why? If he's in secluded cultivation, that should give you a good time to work on yourself, why are you rushing?" I asked.

"Because he usually absorbs the Pots after he's done cultivating to cement his foundations, and I fear that she does not have a lot of time left," He said.

"Right, listen," I said, "After this trial is over I'll head out with you to rescue her. But we can't just barge in on the Fire Lord's domain like that, we'll be needing to plan for this, it's not going to be easy," I said.
