“Purge the Sect” is given by the Brooding Old Archer, sitting on a roof at the Mandate Outpost (Weeping Creek Valley). Break the chains with the Dread Axe, clear out the six archers of the Ruthless Archer Camp, pick up the Broken-String Bow and give it back to him. He gives you the Feather Bow Edge. It is lost if you defeat Bai Chilian before handing it in.
