The workings of Heaven and Earth, the Great Void slowly tore open. A green-robed cultivator stepped out, traversing the void amid winds and waves, the pale golden jade seal at his waist swaying to and fro. He stood with one hand resting gently, pausing within the shallow brown sea.
The Great Void before him swirled; out came a woman garbed in purple. At the center of her brow, a spot of purple-gold shone with dazzling light. Her gaze wandered, falling briefly on the green-robed man before her, and she said softly:
"So it is Yuansu Perfected Person. I wondered who it might be… It is your people handling these monsters."
In her hand appeared a slender, pale white object—crystalline and bright, as thick as a lady's slender wrist, it coiled in curves, fully several fathoms in length, gleaming with white light. She spoke clearly:
"Dongfang Ai has perished. I return this dragon tendon to you, thus our accounts are settled."
