Breath-Nourishing Dao.
Shu Land, Xituo Commandery.
Moonlight White Tara suddenly sensed something. She stepped out of her hermitage and entered the Great Void.
Moonlight spread beneath her divine power.
In mere moments, she arrived at the Deathless Temple.
Clang! Clang!
Great bells rang throughout the Deathless Temple, and the White Bone Dharma King came to its gates in person.
Demon-Subduing Black Tara and Empty Peacock Tara were both there.
Then light flashed in the Great Void, and Steel Strength Dudzi emerged, holding an alms bowl.
A mass of jade-green flame burned inside it, carrying the aura of withered bones and crumbling remains. It was the Withered-Bone Jade Flame!
At Fang Qing's waist hung a sword named Scarlet Firmament.
He had deliberately killed Chu Zhaohuang as Steel Strength Dudzi. That way, he could launder these two Purple Mansion Numinous Treasures and use them openly.
As for the Capital-Sky Blazing Flame Banner? He could only use it, along with the other Purple Mansion Magic Treasures he had seized, in the Qi Refinement Way world...
"My Dharma King."
Fang Qing grinned, showing his teeth. "Chu Zhaohuang incurred a debt of causality with our White Bone Way. Today I return the spirit fire, a Purple Mansion Numinous Treasure—the Scarlet Firmament Sword—and his life and possessions besides... With this, our grievances are settled."
"It was that fiend!"
Demon-Subduing Black Tara and Empty Peacock Tara felt little, but Moonlight White Tara, Miao Shan, had lived through that unbearable chapter of the Deathless Temple's past.
She gazed at the Withered-Bone Jade Flame she had encountered once more, then at the Purple Mansion sword, and pressed her palms together. "If Miao Feng, Miao Shui, and the others knew, they would surely take comfort in this..."
"Well done."
The White Bone Dharma King, Sangji, smiled too, his approval plain.
