When Korby was hit, Zong Shen didn't specifically deal with the beacon, and even spent a night directly in the territory.
The next morning, he and Korby took the mountain path from the north to explore the Temple of the Demon Hunter. Later, it seemed that there was no attack from the Goblin Tribe. Whether they were confused or delayed by other matters, those goblins never followed the beacon to attack Zong Shen.
However, this time, the magic beacon on Zong Shen's body was left by Saintess Shafuri of the Calamity Raven Church. Zong Shen had taken away so much secret silver, and they had sufficient reasons to seek revenge on Zong Shen.
So, the magic beacon must be cleared by some means. Earlier strategy hints mentioned that only magic exorcism was needed to resolve it.
