The summit of Mount Laishan.
As the battle at Bin Pass concluded, a phantom figure projected down from the Golden Body Divine Statue atop True Yang Mountain. This was the priest who managed the incense and worship for the Xiao Shan Lord, a being constructed from a spiritual consciousness.
When it noticed Wang Ping and the others, it spoke in a completely emotionless voice, "The Lord has given an order. Changqing Zhenren is to return to the Six Heart Sect at once."
"I obey the Lord's command!"
Wang Ping cupped his hands in a salute.
The priest returned the salute stiffly, then vanished into thin air.
"What does the Lord mean by this?" Ganxing asked.
But no one answered him.
Wang Ping glanced at him, then looked around at the others. "After I leave, you will all deliberate and decide on any major issues together. If it's not urgent, you can send me a letter. For urgent matters, Fellow Daoist Zhi Gong has full authority."
"Rest assured, Fellow Daoist!"
