Death
After the Liangshan outlaws are granted amnesty by the emperor, Dai Zong follows them on their campaigns against the Liao invaders and rebel forces. He makes great contributions to the nation and is one of the few lucky survivors after the campaigns. He is appointed as an official in Yanzhou but decides to resign after holding office for a short period of time. He goes to a temple and leads a reclusive life there for a few months before his death.
