Chapter 1751: Chapter 1427: The Sect Master Condescends to Marry Down? Why is This Happening?_2 Chapter 1751: Chapter 1427: The Sect Master Condescends to Marry Down? Why is This Happening?_2 Before departing, Jiang Hao had scrutinized the Sky Patrol.
There were no issues; the opponent had set their sights on the Great Overarching Heaven, thus they could detach themselves from the Eastern Extreme Heaven and become independent entities.
Thus, Jiang Hao arrived before a mountain peak and began to release the power of the Dao, attempting to attract Seekers.
Killing Seekers was not difficult; the Great Overarching Heaven could easily slay those who had fed themselves to the Dao.
On another front,
within the Cliff of Broken Hearts,
Ku Wu Chang located Mu Qi and the others.
“Is there news from the master?” Mu Qi immediately inquired.
Upon hearing this, Ku Wu Chang nodded, “Yes, I asked the Acting Sect Master. They are willing to release the person, but it concerns Jiang Hao, so I need to ask further.
“What's the other person's name?”
Miao Tinglian was somewhat surprised, “Name?”
For a moment, both she and Mu Qi were stunned.
This baffled Ku Wu Chang, “You don't know?”
“We'll think about it.” Miao Tinglian started to ponder.
Ku Wu Chang found this puzzling; was such a situation normal?
Or were these people simply careless?
After pondering for a short while, a name suddenly popped into Miao Tinglian's mind: “Heavenly Note Sect.”
Instantaneously, she exclaimed, “Heavenly Note Sect, that's the name, has the master heard of it?”
“No,” Ku Wu Chang shook his head, “Among the known disciples of White Moon Lake, there isn't such a person. But now that we have the name, it will be easier. I'll go check with the Acting Sect Master; hopefully, she has finished her inquiries.”
“Master, is this very troublesome?” Mu Qi looked puzzled.
“Yes, it would be quite easy for someone else, but with Jiang Hao, it indeed becomes much more troublesome,” Ku Wu Chang explained further, “Additionally, White Moon Lake has set the terms–they need Jiang Hao to teach and explain the Dao for a month at the Cliff of Broken Hearts.
“And answer questions from the disciples of White Moon Lake.
“Moreover, your divine item must also be provided to assist them.”
“White Moon Lake is really too much, eyeing even the divine item,” Miao Tinglian said somewhat angrily,
“Junior brother has an endless future, and yet White Moon Lake is taking advantage of the situation.”
“They're not asking for your divine item; it's just one use,” Ku Wu Chang spoke.
“It just feels like a loss,” Miao Tinglian said.
“Then have Jiang Hao marry into their sect, and let them take out their divine item for you to use once?” Ku Wu Chang's voice was calm and deep.
Upon hearing this, Miao Tinglian contemplated and replied, “Come to think of it, letting them use the divine item once isn't unacceptable.”
Ku Wu Chang did not linger, heading for White Moon Lake.
“Any news?” Upon entering Baizhi's residence, Ku Wu Chang asked.
Baizhi shook her head, “It's impossible to contact the Sect Master for now; what about you?”
“I got a name,” Ku Wu Chang pondered, “I've never heard this name before; is it really someone from White Moon Lake?”
“What's the name?” Baizhi was curious.
If not, her loss would be considerable.
But without the Sect Master's nod, she dared not agree to anything casually.
Moreover, she was currently unable to contact the Sect Master.
Ku Wu Chang was silent for a moment, seemingly recalling for a long time, before finally remembering that name and saying, “Heavenly Note Sect.”
At the mention of the name, Baizhi's brows furrowed.
After thinking it over, she said somehwat wistfully, “No.”
“No?” Ku Wu Chang was surprised.
“Yes, there's no such person in White Moon Lake,” Baizhi asserted, “White Moon Lake doesn't have many people, and I remember each person's name, so I'm sure there's no such name. But I don't know why; this name gives me a strange sense of familiarity.
“I still don't know specifically; you go back first. I'll check, maybe I really forgot.”
Ku Wu Chang was somewhat taken aback.
But he didn't say much more.
He would come to inquire again in a couple of days.
“Heavenly Note Sect.” Ku Wu Chang's departure didn't concern Baizhi all that much–instead, she was highly puzzled by the name.
“Where exactly have I seen it?”
“Surely I've seen it; otherwise, upon hearing this name for the first time, I wouldn't have felt a sense of familiarity.”
“Where then?”
She returned to her room, where it was filled with dense, copious books.
To better manage the sect, she had read a lot of materials.
She also sought to understand the various main branches, ensuring the balance could be maintained and not bring trouble to the sect.
Thus, as long as there were records in the books, she would read them through.
History serves as a mirror to prevent repeating the same mistakes.
“It should be in here.”
With that thought, Baizhi began to flip through books, hoping to find the name.
Well into the night, she read quite a few books but to no avail.
The following day, at noon,
Baizhi took out an ancient book.
This was from the old records of the sect.
As she opened it, she felt the familiarity grow stronger.
“This is the book.”
She began to read carefully.
Books recorded all kinds of observations about the sect.
Someone had researched a medicinal pill that could make people fart, while someone else crafted talismans that could make themselves wet.
In short, all sorts of inexplicable things were recorded.
Soon, Baizhi saw a familiar line of text.
One day, a Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator brought back a woman dressed in red from outside the sect.
She appeared cold, and everyone said she was the cultivator's illegitimate daughter, but everyone knew that was impossible.
How could such a beautiful woman be the child of an elder?
It was said that the young girl liked to wear red and had given herself a similar name, calling herself Heavenly Note Sect.
Boom!
The moment Baizhi saw this name, something in her mind exploded.
Smack!
The book in her hand dropped to the floor.
Instantly, the name Heavenly Note Sect became increasingly familiar, and her thoughts followed suit.
Finally, her body shivered, and she stared fixedly at the book on the ground, her eyes revealing horror.
She…
remembered.
The name Heavenly Note Sect, she had heard it long ago.
Back then, the Heavenly Note Sect was nothing more than a second-rate sect, and that person had become Sect Master amidst chaos.
On the first day, a great war was launched, swiftly subduing all the surrounding powers.
She was one of them.
The war lasted thirty years, and she had early on become a member of the other side's forces.
But as the sect's fate was undecided, she received orders to start organizing all sect materials.
Almost all information on the words Heavenly Note Sect was destroyed.
The words Tianyin Hong replaced everything.
Gradually, she discovered that everyone had forgotten the words Heavenly Note Sect, and she felt a sense of fear, of terror.
Because it was truly forgotten.
It was as if these words had never existed.
Such terrifying power sent shivers down her spine.
Until later, she also forgot these words, but the panic and unrest within her grew even stronger.
Thus, she could only be more diligent, showing sufficient loyalty.
Only this gave her some peace of mind.
Now…
She finally remembered those three words.
The three words she had forgotten for hundreds of years.
The fear in her heart became all the more apparent.
What kind of powerful being could make someone forget completely?
If she wished, even one's cognition could become questionable.
Doubting one's own existence.
These three words were like an endless mountain pressing down on Baizhi as she sat on the floor leaning against the bookshelf.
When she regained her senses, she felt a new kind of fear.
“Why would Ku Wu Chang bring up these three words? And he even said it was to propose marriage for Jiang Hao.”
“Jiang Hao wants to marry the Sect Master?”
“How is that possible?”
Although the Sect Master was very attentive to Jiang Hao, but…
it wouldn't lead to such a thing.
A coincidence of names?
For a moment, Baizhi was somewhat bewildered.
What exactly was going on?
But…
What if it really was the Sect Master?
What if the Sect Master is said to be from White Moon Lake, and she said the contrary, wouldn't that be…
Disobeying the Sect Master?
Although she didn't understand what was happening, she knew she had to do something.
Without hesitation, she stood up and disappeared from the spot.
She quickly arrived at Ku Wu Chang's courtyard.
“Why has the Acting Sect Master come here?” Ku Wu Chang was somewhat surprised.
“Tell me about this matter, explain it from the beginning to the end,” Baizhi paused and added, “If the other party indeed says she is from White Moon Lake, then she truly is from White Moon Lake.
“I already know who she is, now I just need to clarify the sequence of events.”
“This matter was initiated by two of my disciples, perhaps you could ask them,” said Ku Wu Chang.
Two disciples? Baizhi felt even more puzzled.
What was the situation?
Her mind was a bit of a mess, very messy.
Would the high and mighty Acting Sect Master truly condescend to marry?
Could it be that the sect was facing an inevitable disaster, and the Acting Sect Master had no choice but to marry off, seeking protection from the entity backing Jiang Hao?
