In the imperial city of Ming-Guang, the only Grand Archmage is imprisoned in a dark room. He tells the imprisoned man that since he is going to kill him, he will let him know before he dies. He says that he is the Fire-Attributed Archmage and that he can do basic magics in a small space. He compares the two of them and says that if they team up, they still have the chance to beat the fire-attributed archmage up. He then shows them how big the gap in their strength is between them. He asks if they have a scripture, and they both agree that they do. He warns them that the fourth prince will die if they do not give him the scriptures, and he says that they have ten more breaths before they die. He also tells them that he will kill them if they fail to give him their scriptures. He adds that he did not expect the kid to have the phoenix, and that the kid is the most wanted of all the demon lords. He explains that the phoenix is just a chick and that it would not be able to handle his fire magics. Since the kid has already known his true identity, he wont hold off his power on him.
