But that feeling of familiarity only lasted for a moment. When Han Sen looked at Mister White, it was as if he had never seen him before. He didn't seem like someone he knew.
Mister White was one of the Extreme King, and Han Sen didn't know many Extreme Kings. He didn't know any of them, so there was no way Mister White was someone he knew.
Thinking of this, Han Sen turned his attention back to Mister White's suggestion.
To be honest, Mister White's suggestion was very tempting to Han Sen. That was because Han Sen wasn't sure if Yisha could beat Fox Queen.
Even if Yisha won, wouldn't he have to give her a share of the treasures he obtained when they entered together?
The two of them were close. They were like family, but that was because Yisha didn't know Han Sen was Dollar. If Yisha found out that Han Sen was Dollar, what would she do?
Han Sen didn't know how Yisha would react. After all, Dollar had offended her too much.
Han Sen didn't have to worry too much about exploring the Sacred Leader's treasure with Mister White and the others. He could fight when he needed to, and he could steal when he needed to. He wouldn't hold back.
In this era where profit was everything, there was no need to worry too much. They were just using each other.
Han Sen needed Mister White to bring him safely to the treasure, and Mister White needed the relic. They were just using each other.
If they found the treasure, Mister White and Crime would, even if Han Sen didn't get angry, they would.
Of course, the most important thing was that Han Sen had the power to fight Mister White and the others. He couldn't do that to Yisha and Fox Queen.
"We don't have much time. When they fight, we won't have another chance," Mister White said to Han Sen.
Han Sen was silent. He looked at Mister White and asked, "You destroyed the fourth node. Did you find anything there?"
Han Sen had always been concerned about the item in the fourth node. Perhaps that item would be of great use in the treasure trove.
Mister White was silent for a moment. "When Fox Queen broke the thirty-six pillars, she found the jade flute inside the last pillar."
"So, that jade flute didn't belong to Fox Queen."
Han Sen then remembered that Fox Queen had been trapped in Ghost Bone Palace for a long time. She had nothing on her, so why would she suddenly have a jade flute?
It turned out that he had obtained it from the fourth node, but Han Sen couldn't think of any connection between the jade flute and the things in the previous nodes.
Mister White did not say anything. He just waited for Han Sen to make his decision.
Han Sen thought for a moment and pointed at the skeleton on the chair. "There seems to be something special about this sea. He dived into the deep sea to enter the Holy City. That's why he ended up like this."
"I know."
Mister White coldly said, "That is why we need the relic you have. That is how we can safely reach the Holy City."
"Okay. In that case, let's go explore the Holy City." Han Sen finally made up his mind.
Han Sen didn't know where the Holy City was, but Mister White had figured it out. Han Sen followed him and Crime out of the white whale. They continued to travel deeper into the sea.
The waves of the sea were very strong. Clearly, Fox Queen and Yisha were in the middle of a fierce fight. It would take a while for the victor to be decided.
Han Sen wasn't worried about Yisha. With her power, even if she couldn't beat Fox Queen, it wouldn't be easy for Fox Queen to kill her.
Plus, if Yisha couldn't beat her, Han Sen wouldn't be able to do anything.
Han Sen had already figured out how to pilot the white whale, but he didn't touch it right away. He thought it might be useful in the future.
Under Mister White's guidance, Han Sen and the others went deeper and deeper. The water calmed down, and the shockwaves from Fox Queen and Yisha's fight couldn't affect them anymore.
"If my calculations are correct, the Sacred Leader's treasure should be in this trench." Mister White pointed at a trench as he spoke to Han Sen.
Han Sen stood at the edge of the trench and looked down. It was pitch black. It was like a bottomless abyss. Even with the Purple-Eye Butterfly, he couldn't see what was down there.
Without hesitation, Mister White and Crime walked ahead. Han Sen rode the blood kirin and followed them. They went down into the trench.
After sinking for a while, Han Sen suddenly felt something was wrong. The stone tablet in his pocket was emitting a scorching heat.
Han Sen pulled out the stone plate and held it in his hand. The stone was glowing with a holy light. It lit up a small area of the dark water.
"It is just as I thought. Only with the relic can we enter the Sacred Leader's treasure." Mister White seemed to have expected this. He looked at the stone plate as he spoke.
The three of them and the beast continued to descend. The surrounding water was eerily dark. No matter how strong his eyesight was, he could only see a small area illuminated by the stone flakes. The rest of the area was pitch-black, and he couldn't see anything. It was like a ghostly dark world.
Han Sen didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt as if countless pairs of eyes were watching them from the darkness.
Time went by, and Han Sen didn't know how many meters they had gone. The trench was like a bottomless abyss. It was as if there was no end in sight, no matter how deep they went.
Looking up now, it was pitch-black. Light couldn't reach such a deep sea.
Aside from the ripples caused by their descent, there was no other movement. Yisha and Fox Queen's fight couldn't affect them anymore.
Because it was so dark, even the blood kirin started to feel uneasy. It wriggled its body and started to growl.
Han Sen stroked the blood kirin's neck, and it took a while for him to calm it down.
The blood kirin was so angry that it was harder to calm it down than to make it bleed.
Mister White looked calm, but Crime looked anxious. It seemed as if he was feeling the same as the blood kirin. They both felt uncomfortable in the dark, as if someone was watching them.
Han Sen was sure that there was something bad lurking in the darkness. If he didn't have the relic, they might have ended up like the white whale's master.
Suddenly, Han Sen felt a blurry light appear in the darkness beneath his feet. He couldn't help but focus on the light.
But the light was too blurry, and he couldn't see anything.
Mister White and Crime saw the light, too. They lowered their heads to look at it as they descended.
As their bodies sank, the light became clearer. It grew bigger and clearer. When they saw what was inside the light, Han Sen's jaw dropped.
