The flood dragon nodded its head.
A man and a serpent left the courtyard, leaving the Qingxia Sect behind.

One year later, the Taoist priest received a letter from Tang Yuan.
Tang Yuan's writing was bold and forceful, just like his current state. After having established the Alliance, it took a year for the Alliance to finally conquer the Panlong Sect. Tang Yuan had personally slain Gu Junli in revenge for his parents and had taken back the Panlong Sect.
The letter was an invitation from Tang Yuan asking the Taoist priest to attend his Sect Master coronation ceremony.
"I am but a simple hermit not fit for public affairs, and I will not attend," the Taoist priest declined.
The young Taoist priest had the messenger take a reply to Tang Yuan, stating that he should visit if he finds the time.
Soon after, Tang Yuan replied that he would visit and pay respects to his master in Wuyi Mountains once he had settled the affairs of his sect.
