I frowned at the nameâfamiliar yet strangely out of place.
âWhy is that name suddenly coming up?â
Celestial Stream Sect..
It was one of the sects located in Sichuan.
In the past, it had been somewhat famous, boasting a sizable number of disciples and decent recognition in the region.
âBut thatâs about it.â
Unfortunately, Celestial Stream Sect faced a significant obstacle in achieving greater fame within Sichuan.
That obstacle was the presence of the Tang Clan and the Emei Sect.
The Tang Clan, once counted among the Four Great Clans, and the Emei Sect, one of the Nine Great Sects, were both rooted in Sichuan.
Just that fact alone made it difficult for Celestial Stream Sect to assert much influence.
But thenâ
âSomething unexpected happened.â
In my past life, an unusual event occurred.
It was this:
âCelestial Stream Sect discovered the secret records of Geum Cheonyeon.â
More precisely, it was the head of Celestial Stream Sect who found the hidden records of Geum Cheonyeon.
Whatever opportunity he uncovered within those records, his martial prowess improved far beyond what was publicly known.
Not only did the Gate Master grow stronger, but the disciples also gained strength, allowing Celestial Stream Sect to rise in prominence.
That part was fine.
Soaring to new heights through a fortuitous encounter wasnât necessarily a bad outcome.
The problem wasâ
âCelestial Stream Sect was a demonic sect.â
Whether they became a demonic sect after acquiring the opportunity or had always been one wasnât clear.
I lacked the intelligence network to investigate that deeply.
But as far as I knew, Celestial Stream Sect was a demonic sect.
âAnd shortly after the Heavenly Demonâs emergence, they joined the Demonic Cult.â
The Gate Master entered the Demonic Cult, becoming one of its demonic warriors and later aiding in the invasion of Sichuan.
Given how long Celestial Stream Sect had operated in Sichuan, they were intimately familiar with the regionâs terrain.
This gave Cheon Yulang-a a considerable advantage in devising strategies.
âHmm.â
I pondered this as suspicion crept into my thoughts.
âWhy now?â
Why was Celestial Stream Sect being brought up so suddenly?
And with claims of connections to the Demonic Cult?
âNo, that shouldnât be possible.â
