Shi Feiyang had killed the Scattered Flower Daoist and reclaimed his Scattered Flower Sword.
He looked at the dark sky and the dark sea, surrounded on all sides by the endless ocean, and told Liu Yu'an and Mi Tuo, "I have obtained the Ten-thousand-year-old Coral as promised, so I will grant you your lives. Leave now, quickly."
The two, seeing the prowess of the Black Dragon who had even slain the renowned Scattered Flower Daoist, had been anxious the whole time, fearful that he might go back on his word and crush them to death to send them as Ghost Slaves to the clam spirits. After all, a Black Dragon was an aberration; how could it possibly keep its word? Even humans rarely kept theirs.
Upon hearing Shi Feiyang let them go, the two felt as though they had received a grand pardon. They knelt and kowtowed, saying, "We thank you, Lord Dragon God, for sparing our lives!"
