While the battle between the Blazing Phoenix Sect and the Wu Martial Kingdom was happening, Huo Shihong was guiding three of the Twelve Shadows through the Fire Labyrinth.
He didn't know that the situation outside was getting out of control and still thought, that the battle between both parties would only happen in about two days.
After entering the Fire Labyrinth, his mind could only concentrate on how to save his daughter and even if he knew of the situation outside, he wouldn't be able to do anything. In fact, even if the entire Blazing Phoenix Sect was on fire, he wouldn't be able to concentrate on saving it, if his daughter was in the situation, she was currently in. Being held as hostage.
"Wait!" Third Shadow signaled for everyone to stop. He closed his eyes and tried to feel vestiges of the aura they were looking for.
