The truth has finally come to light, and the sect master demands that Jinghong be severely punished. He says that even if Jinghong survives, he will be imprisoned forever. He tells him to forget that god is watching him, and not to seek his own personal gain. He also tells him that lingfeng is not a demon, but that he is very high in regard for Kuangyun. The sect master says that all the disciples of Xianlu hall will be examined on this day, and that those who support the sect rashly or those who do not report will be revoked. They will also be relegated to status as lay disciples. The new chief of the hall says that he will live up to the expectations of the master, and everyone dismisses him. The old chief tells the new chief that the old chief's wife, who had been at the hall for a few days, has died. She must have died because of her feelings for Jinghong, she says.
