Fatal Fissure
Instant
Choose target creature. When that creature dies this turn, you earthbend 4. (Target land you control becomes a 0/0 creature with haste that's still a land. Put four +1/+1 counters on it. When it dies or is exiled, return it to the battlefield tapped.)
Long Feng normally used the Dai Li to silence dissidents, but he wasn't above taking a more direct approach.
Rulings (6)
If a land was animated by earthbend and would go to any zone other than the graveyard or exile, it will not be returned to the battlefield by the delayed triggered ability created by earthbend.

"Earthbend N" means "Target land you control becomes a 0/0 land creature with haste in addition to its other types. Put N +1/+1 counters on it. When it dies or is exiled, return it to the battlefield tapped under your control."

Earthbend doesn't give the land you control a color. As most lands are colorless, in most cases the resulting land creature will also be colorless.
