"The Night King? Who is that?"
Director Linde was stunned for a moment, and like everyone else present, he was also looking through the information on the tablet in his hand.
He looked at the notable figures who had recently come on record.
Characters such as the Ghost Queen Rouge, the Black Mist Man, the Black City God, etc. have all been recorded by Bureau 749 and classified as dangerous.
Did a quick search.
The so-called Night King was not found.
"There are no records of the Night King. I also asked Mr. Zhang who the Night King is."
"Old Zhang said he didn't know either. After the Maoshan Sect ancestor mentioned looking for the Night King, he asked the Maoshan Sect ancestor, but he didn't give Old Zhang an answer. He only said that if he wanted to know the Night King, Old Zhang wasn't qualified yet."
"Um?"
Including Lind, all the senior officials of Bureau 749 were shocked.
Mr. Zhang's strength is obvious to everyone.
Even if he is not placed in Daxia, he is an outstanding person among the successive leaders of Maoshan Sect.
"Seriously? Even Mr. Zhang isn't qualified."
Professor Chen looked a little incredulous.
The assistant nodded.
"These are the exact words given by Elder Zhang. He said that this is what the ancestors of the Maoshan Sect said."
Linde and the others looked even weirder when they heard this.
Professor Chen pushed her glasses and asked.
"Even Elder Zhang looks down on him. Who is this Night King? Have you looked through ancient books? Perhaps there's an introduction somewhere?"
The head of the logistics department took over.
"And who is the ancestor of the Maoshan Sect? Has the bureau investigated it? Who is this ancestor of the Maoshan Sect that made Mr. Zhang take him so seriously and rush to find him immediately?"
"Information about the Night King."
The assistant slid the screen.
"After we learned about this, we searched through the ancient Maoshan Sect books that Elder Zhang had borrowed, as well as the ancient books, unofficial histories, and folk biographies in the bureau's collection, but we couldn't find any records that matched the Night King."
"As for the ancestor of the Maoshan Sect, we have investigated it thoroughly."
As he spoke, he clicked on a file on the screen and retrieved the information of the ancestor of the Maoshan Sect.
"This Maoshan Sect ancestor who has emerged is the thirteenth generation master of the Maoshan Sect, Li Hanguang."
Linde and others couldn't sit still at this moment.
Linde's breathing suddenly stopped.
"The ancestor of the Maoshan Sect who made the move is Li Hanguang?! Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
"That's right, it's Li Hanguang."
“…”
Linde and the others were silent.
The conference room was silent for several seconds before a voice was heard.
Lin De said slowly.
"No wonder Mr. Zhang attaches so much importance to him. He is actually Li Hanguang, a Maoshan Taoist priest from the Tang Dynasty and the 13th generation Grandmaster of the Maoshan Sect."
The assistant nodded, looked through the documents, and routinely told Li Hanguang's information.
"Just as Directorate General Linde said, according to the directorate's records on Li Hanguang, Li Hanguang was the head of Maoshan during the Tang Dynasty. He was so powerful that even Emperor Xuanzong of Tang held him in high esteem."
"Even successive Tang Dynasty emperors revered him."
"Furthermore, during the Tianbao period, Li Hanguang was given the title of 'Master Xuanjing', and in his later years he lived in the Ziyang Temple on Mount Mao."
"He and his teacher, Sima Chengzhen, the tenth-generation master of the Maoshan sect, were so influential in the Maoshan sect during the Tang Dynasty that the sect maintained its high status and influence into the Song Dynasty."
"It was not until the middle of the Song Dynasty that its influence began to wane, leading to the decline of the Maoshan Sect. It was not until the middle and late Song Dynasty that the 13th generation master revived the Maoshan Sect."
"And the 13th generation Grandmaster also respected Li Hanguang and was deeply influenced by him."
"According to unofficial historical records."
"During the Northern Song Dynasty, the Maoshan Sect, along with Longhushan and Hezaoshan, was known as one of the three major Taoist talisman sects, collectively known as the Three Mountains Talisman Sect. This sect also had some connection to Li Hanguang. Almost every successive master and leader of the Maoshan Sect was influenced to some degree by Li Hanguang."
