The Sect Master's position of the Heavenly Sound Sect—it was something countless people dreamed of. Could
Probably not. She was likely just saying that.
Young Master Xiuming of the Formless Divine Sect was about to visit the Heavenly Sound Sect, seeking an alliance. Xuan Yue knew very well that being on good terms with Young Master Xiuming would undoubtedly elevate one's status immensely within the Heavenly Sound Sect. However, there was absolutely no chance he would take a liking to her.
Her current position and status within the Heavenly Sound Sect? Young Master Xiuming wouldn't even glance at her.
"Sister Ning'er, Sister Xuan Yue! We just received news—in addition to the Formless Divine Sect, people from the Feather God Sect are also here. They say they wish to visit the former Sect Master!" a young girl with her hair tied in a bun rushed in, panting as she spoke.
"The Feather God Sect is here?" Xiao Ning'er shot to her feet, her face lighting up with expectation, a glimmer of hope shining in her eyes.
She hoped that
Seeing Xiao Ning'er suddenly stand up, looking so agitated, Xuan Yue was startled. Xiao Ning'er was always as calm and clear as still water; such a sudden loss of composure surely meant something. It seemed there was someone from the Feather God Sect that Xiao Ning'er wanted to see!
Xuan Yue couldn't help but smile inwardly with a touch of scorn.
The Formless Divine Sect was one of the six great, most powerful sects, and Young Master Xiuming was the Sect Master's own son.
As for the Feather God Sect, it was at the very bottom of the list. No matter who Xiao Ning'er wanted to see, or what their status in the Feather God Sect might be, they couldn't possibly be compared to Young Master Xiuming.
She couldn't fathom what Xiao Ning'er was thinking, being so interested in someone from the Feather God Sect.
"
"Nie Li? I'm not sure!" Xiao Yi shook her head. "But I did hear that the Feather God Sect seems to have changed Sect Masters. The new Sect Master's surname is Nie, but nobody knows his background yet!"
A new Sect Master? Surnamed Nie? Was it him? Could it be that in such a short time, Nie Li had already become the new Sect Master of the Feather God Sect?
Doubt swirled in Xiao Ning'er's heart, but regardless, the people from the Feather God Sect had arrived, and she absolutely had to go see.
"Xiao Yi, Sister Xuan Yue, let's go together to have a look!" Xiao Ning'er said, looking at the two beside her.
A group of them headed towards the great hall of the Heavenly Sound Sect.
The hall of the Heavenly Sound Sect was extremely imposing, with various immortal melodies lingering within its walls. Legend had it that the sect's first Ancestor was a woman of breathtaking talent, with countless ties to the Divine Ancestral Ground. The Heavenly Sound Sect was a place of extreme mystery, and it only accepted female disciples. While it allowed female disciples to interact with disciples from other sects, marriage was strictly forbidden. The reason behind this was a mystery known to no one.
This had been the Heavenly Sound Sect's tradition for ages.
Nie Li looked up at the plaque above the great hall of the Heavenly Sound Sect and smiled faintly. His fiancée, and his confidante Xiao Ning'er, were both inside.
If the Heavenly Sound Sect refused to let them go... would he tear the entire sect apart?
The group, numbering over ten, with three being Martial Ancestor-level experts, followed Nie Li into the great hall.
