Master Ghost waved a hand and said, "Never mind about me—but what I have told you is indeed the truth. And so the secret of the Canglan Sect's Immortal-Slaying Sword Array most likely lies within that Illusory Moon Cave-Heaven, which only the Qingyun Sect Master may enter." He smiled and said, "Do you understand?"
Ming Li said nothing, only watched the man in silence. After a good while he said coldly, "Just who are you?"
Master Ghost stood with his hands clasped behind him and said slowly, "In any case, only remember that I am not your enemy—that is enough."
Ming Li regarded him a moment, then suddenly turned and drifted slowly out. As his figure was about to vanish, his voice seemed to come from afar—yet it might have been the wind; it could not be heard clearly.
Master Ghost stood alone in the darkness, motionless. That mote of ghost-fire slowly dimmed, and at last went out altogether, and the gloomy house sank once more into stillness.
Only after a while, from the place where the figure stood in the dark, came the sound of low, cold laughter.
