Exquisite Sound Sect (妙音门) is one of the sects in Scattered Star Seas.[?] The official translation of Miaoyinmen is the Melodious Sect.[1]
Characteristics[]
This sect had only had women in positions of power for generations. This included the position of Sect Master. The female cultivators of the Exquisite Sound Sect were each as beautiful as a flower and well cultured. The sect was famous for their bewitchment techniques. Those in power would often fight over their outstanding female cultivators to be their Dao companion. As such, they received quite a bit of both open and hidden support.
The Exquisite Sound Sect's strength couldn’t be said to be powerful. Apart from the Sect Master, the only other high positions were the Envoy of the Left and the Envoy of the Right. However, they employed Guest Elders.
Their reputation was considered decent, but there were rumours about a small number of malicious conspiracies to murder other cultivators.[2]
Death of the Sect Master[]
Originally, the Sect was led by Sect Master Wang. While conducting trade, Master Wang and its leadership were ambushed by members of the Zenith Yin Island sect led by Wu Chou masquerading as members of the Hidden Fiend Sect. As a result, the Exquisite Sound Sect mistakenly directed their animosity towards the Hidden Fiend Sect. With the death of Sect Master Wang, the position of master was inherited by her daughter Wang Ning.
Relocation to the Heavenly Star City[]
As the Sect Master Wang Ning, she planned to take revenge on the Hidden Fiend Sect soliciting help from various Core Formation cultivators outside of the sect. Unfortunately, the sect discovered the truth that Zenith Yin Island was in fact the true culprit. Given the now hostile situation with Zenith Yin Island - a superpower in the Inner Star Seas, Wang Ning moved the Exquisite Sound Sect to the Heavenly Star City for under the protection of the Star Palace. The Exquisite Sound Sect remained in the Heavenly Star City until war broke out between the Star Palace and a newly formed super-power the Starfall Coalition.
Hostile Takeover[]
The Exquisite Sound Sect was taken over by Fan Jingmei as she plotted to erode the power-structure. Using the Starfall Coalition, the previous sect master Wang Ning was enslaved as a concubine and the Right Envoy went missing, likely killed. This left a power-vacuum that was filled by Fan Jingmei. Unfortunately, the Starfall Coalition actually intended to use the Exquisite Sound Sect as bait to lure Han Li into a trap. As a result, the sect was forcefully relocated to the Outer Star Seas and Fan Jingmei was made a "puppet sect master" with real control belonging to Yun Tianxiao of the Starfall Coalition.
The Exquisite Sound Sect was forced to continuously relocate during its time in the Outer Star Seas. Its mostly-female members were forced to pleasure male cultivators to earn income. Under Fan Jingmei's control, Female members were sold to male cultivators becoming Dao Companions, concubines, or Cultivation Furnaces as favors or for income.
