“Justice Tarnished” (the Spanish name of the tale) is a Mountain of Imprisonment tale about Huangxing, one of the Pillars of Kunlun. It triggers when you pick up a petal of the Huangxing Memory Flower and ends when you gather all 6 petals, which add +10% health. It’s missable if you climb the stairs behind the Green Serpent House without finishing it.
Where does Justice Tarnished start?
On the Mountain of Imprisonment, when you pick up the first petal of the Huangxing Memory Flower. There’s no NPC. To get into the mountain you need the restored Illusory Pipa (see how to get to the Mountain of Imprisonment). The first petal on the route is near the Iron Butcher’s camp, the mountain’s first boss.

Rewards
Vandal (Spanish guide) doesn’t list any reward of the tale’s own. The complete flower adds +10% health.
According to Vandal, when you climb the stairs behind the Green Serpent House (Pangzhen) almost every pending tale fails, and this one isn’t among those that survive. Collect all six petals first. More in the points of no return.
