History

The Misty Sect became tied to the Xiao Family through an engagement arranged before the births of Xiao Huohuo and Xu Ling'er. When Xu Ling'er broke off the engagement due to Huohuo's poor martial aptitude, he tore up the marriage certificate and established a Three-Year Pact to surpass her. 3

As Cangzhou's foremost sect, Misty Sect held considerable prestige among neighboring factions. Its disciples revered Xu Ling'er, while visiting sect leaders regarded her early-Houtian cultivation and mastery of the Wind Sword Scripture as proof that Misty Sect would continue dominating the region. 35

When Xiao Huohuo arrived to fulfill the pact, the sect's gatekeepers and many disciples dismissed him as the same third-rate martial artist they believed him to be. Wu Shan permitted the duel, intending for Xu Ling'er to dispel Huohuo's perceived delusions. 34 36

Huohuo instead overwhelmed Xu Ling'er and destroyed her Sword Shadow Kill with the Great Desolation Prison Heaven Finger, leaving a large crater in the training ground and overturning the sect's assumptions about him and his master, Chu Feng. 38 40 41

Immediately after the duel, the Black Underworld Sect surrounded Misty Sect with five Grandmasters, seventy-four Xiantian martial artists, and further forces. The invaders intended to destroy Misty Sect and eliminate Cangzhou's gathered elite combat power as the opening move in conquering Cangzhou. 43

Yun Xiao and the Supreme Elder attempted to hold off the Grandmasters so Wu Shan could evacuate the sect's elites, but the two hidden defenders were defeated. With the sect facing collapse, Wu Shan and its members appealed to Chu Feng for aid. 44 45 49

Chu Feng ultimately used the Great Desolation Prison Heaven Finger to destroy the five Black Underworld Sect Grandmasters and their subordinates, ending the immediate threat to Misty Sect. 50
