Now that he's finally back, the ghost master says he'll forgive you. He's not going to let you kill him, he says, because the pact between the two of them broke down when the altar was broken. The ghost master tells the king that he can't be killed, because he is a man who can be killed at any time, and the king wouldn't even feel a thing about it. The king says he doesn't want to know why, but that's the way it is. He says that he lost all his power, and his primordial spirit was shattered. The happy you are now, he tells the prince, will be the sadder when he dies. The prince says he will be when the spirit capture lamp is gone, and that was why the ghost didn't tell him that he was coming back. He wants to know what's going on, and he says that once the ghost's body turns mature, they can bring him back to life. He asks the king if he still wants to help him, and says he can do whatever the king wants him to do. He also says that fan jiuchen was clever, because she wanted to lock him up forever. He suggests that the king give his son and his son's friends badges, and invite some of his master's to help them when they need it, and then reward those who help others with spirit stones.
