Night Sparrow asks why Snow Crane has come to help him. He knows that the scorpions have ordered him to come to save the little girl instead of saving her life. He wants to know if it was worth it to sacrifice his life for the sake of saving the girl's life that day. He wonders if there is a way to combine his body with a sword. He thinks this is a technique of the xiao sect, but he does not know how to use it. He feels like he is losing all of his vitality. He asks Senior Duan if they have gone far, and Duan tells him that they have not. Duan says that he will take care of the baby, but that they are too timid to do so. Night Sparrow tells Duan that he is the spirit of the sword.
