Shen Mu said with a cold laugh, "To set a trap by such means—he truly underestimates me. The characters below the stele are nothing more than 'lies buried here.' If I brush aside the sand, I will spring his trap and die with no place to be buried!"
Long Qilin shuddered and said, "If the name written on it were mine, I would certainly go up and look..."
Shen Mu looked around. This yellow-sand desert was utterly desolate; apart from them there was no other living thing. No one could be lying in ambush nearby.
"To tell the truth, I am rather curious."
His eyes flickered as he studied the stele buried in the yellow sand. Long Qilin at once had a bad feeling, and said, "Hierarch, do not do anything foolish!"
Shen Mu retreated swiftly backward and laughed: "I would very much like to see whether the man who left this stele to ambush me and the Great Venerable left a signature. So smug and arrogant, he surely left his own name. We will withdraw a hundred li, and then I will work a spell to brush the sand away from beneath the stele!"
