Mr. Ghost waved a hand. "Never mind about me. But what I have told you is indeed the truth. Therefore the secret of the Canglan Sect's Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation most likely lies within that Phantom Moon Grotto-Heaven, which only the Qingyun Sect Master may enter." He smiled.

Ming Li said nothing, only fixed his eyes silently upon the man. After a long moment he said coldly, "Just who are you?"
Mr. Ghost stood with his hands clasped behind his back and said slowly, "In any case, remember this: I am not your enemy. That is enough."

Only after a while, from the place where the shadow stood in the darkness, came the sound of a low, cold laugh.
