In this chapter, Gu tells Mingkong that he has removed the seal on the "demonic halberd" and that the weapon has become a spirit. Gu says that it is convenient to carry the weapon around like this and conceal it from detection by some experts, since it is a "sphyllable lethal weapon" . Gu then asks Mingkong if he is okay, and Mingkong says that he is, and that he will return to the lower realm.
