Surfing in the air with the sun in their faces, Braedon and Kai Jun both narrowly missed crashing into a flying plane. The pilot, who swore that he just saw some aliens, wondered if he should check himself into a mental hospital.

Braedon looked back at what could have been a disaster, "I think we need to be more careful while we fly."

"Don't worry Braedon, it's not like crashing into a plane would kill us anyway." Kai Jun laughed off his concerns while saying some arrogant, but truthful, words.

"It's not us that I'm worried about, we might come out fine but what about the passengers of that plane. I don't want unnecessary blood on my hands." Braedon still tries to get his point across as a blue light flashed across his eyes. He scanned their surroundings for any signs of a World Guarder.

Lately, they have been flying around the city in order to see if anymore fights have broken out. While they were able to find a few, the two opposing sides unfortunately had no connection to the group they were looking for. Kai Jun even threatened them to make sure that they weren't holding any information back. He even used methods that Braedon did not approve of.

They made almost no progress after searching around for two whole days until they finally got themselves a lead.

A suspicious looking man, with a tiny strand of the phoenix's aura coming off of him, was moving around town apparently in search of something. After stalking him for a few minutes , Kai Jun figured out that he wasn't looking for something but someone.

This was evidenced by the fact that once in a while, he would stop and ask someone if they have seen a person that matched a description he gave them. The description sounded very familiar to Braedon, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it before.

They decided to leave the man alone for now and just keep an eye on him since he just kept walking the exact same path over and over again.

Instead, Braedon have his own request, "how about we go visit my family?"

"You know they still don't remember you, right? Memories of you will return once you've regained your body so what the point of visiting them now?" Kai Jun said his thoughts directly without any sugarcoating.

"I know, but if I could just see a little bit on how they are, I will be completely satisfied. After all, even if they don't remember me, I remember them and as such my duty is to at least see if they are okay or not."

With a loud sigh, Kai Jun agreed to hang honcho this request. He told Braedon to lead the way to his parents' home for a quick visit. They flew at a moderate speed and were able o reach their destination by the end of the day.

After arriving, Braedon creepily stared through a window and watched as his parents and little sister played around. He smiled at the playful scene and remembered his own goal. To grow into a strong cultivator and introduce his family into cultivation.

He was filled with a whole new determination now. It wasn't just that he needed his body back, he must have it back not only for him but for the people he cared about.

After the trip, he was deciding on whether he should visit Zan Fu or not as well. He decided against it, but that led him to think of his other friend, Xiao Hagen. It had been a long time since the last time they spoke. Braedon was very curious on how he was doing.

But just as he was about to ask for one more favor out of Kai Jun, he realized something strange. He had no idea where Xiao Hagen lived. He was sure that Xiao Hagen had told him his address at least once. But no matter how much he thought about it, the memory wouldn't surface.

How strange, "Weird, I wanted to visit one more friend of mine but I can't seem to remember his address." All he could do was say this to Kai Jun.

"Sounds like a problem that you have to deal with. You guys must be terrible friends if you don't even know his or her address." Kai Jun snickered at Braedon's predicament while waving his hand over, "Let's go, we have to leave quickly. Who knows if that man did something while we were gone."

Braedon nodded in agreement and they both quickly rose up and prepared to their stalking, that sounded terrible now that Braedon thought of it. They hopped onto their weapons and flew back. As they were flying, Kai Jun looked at Braedon curiously and asked, "By the way, who was the friend that you wanted to visit?"

"A good friend of mine named Xiao Hagen." Braedon said this without paying much attention or care to it. Kai Jun on the other hand had a serious expression appear on his face for a split second. He began to scratch his head as a single thought swirled in his mind.

"That sounds like a stupid name..."

Braedon began meditating as soon as they got back to their base of operations, which was just his old house. They planned to take shifts and watch the area throughout the night to see if anything big or small happened.

The night went by uneventfully, except for one or two cultivators moving about. Braedon was able to find his old stash of soul crystals and asked Kai Jun if they could be used for anything.

With a mischievous smile, he took the box somewhere far away where Braedon couldn't see what he did with them. He figured that Kai Jun either used them to hire people to help them gather information or he gambled them away.

Kai Jun is either really useful or really useless, there was no in between with him.

He recieved his answer the next morning when Kai Jun waltz in with several more boxes of soul crystals.

"... you are a terrible influence, did you know that?"

"Shut up! More importantly, I used some of my winnings to hire a few groups to gather some information for us. It seems that things are about to become quite troublesome."

Braedon sat up at his words and listened carefully, "What happened?"

"Three things: first is that I discovered that the people who we are after are called the Shadow Guild." Kai Jun said a name that Braedon found very familiar And as he thought back to it, he definitely remembered something big.

"I know about them, they're a freakishly strong group whose main trademark is assassination. Some acquaintances of min had their entire organization destroyed by these very people."

Kai Jun nodded and thanked him for the explanation, "Well then, the second thing is that no information about the phoenix was given to me. But the people that the suspicious man was searching for were his missing comrades who matched the description of the corpses we found."

"This means that either the entity is hiding his identity or he is at such a high rank in the guild that information about him is kept as a secret." Braedon understood what Kai Jun was insinuating thanks to the vast amount of novels Braedon had read in the past.

"That's right. It seems that he is going to be much more troublesome to find than I originally thought. And finally, it seems that the Shadow Guild is currently in some sort of feud with another group."

"Who are they"

Kai Jun shook his head, "I don't know, but apparently these people have a real vendetta with the Guild because many of their branches have been attacked and their above average members have been slaughtered. These branches are extremely weak so the group don't seem to be that strong. But to still be striking at an organization that is many times stronger than them, it seems that they have some serious problems between them."

Kai Jun poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip before continuing, "And the first rule of any war is..."

"...know thy enemy." Braedon finished his sentence with a knowing smile. "So what you're saying is that if this other group is having a huge war against the Shadow Guild and are gathering information..."

"...Something they have gathered might clue us in on the entity. So we have two options, find the Shadow Guild or find this other group."

They nodded in unison while preparing to head out once more, "By the way, don't you think us finishing each other's sentences make us seem like an old married couple?"

"There is just no in between with you Kai Jun. None at all."
