Wang Tiangu

Wang Tiangu was a Nascent Soul cultivator residing in the Heavenly South Region. He was the puppet sect-master of the Ghost Spirit Sect. The actual sect master used him as a figure-head. He along with other members of his family maintained an iron-grip over control of the sect.
== First Meeting ==
Wang Tiangu was enticed by an offer to obtain treasures and secrets to the Devilfall Valley. As a result, he joined an expedition to find these treasures and secrets from the hidden residence of the only known cultivator to return from the valley. He arranged for his nephew and nephew's wife to join the expedition. Wang Tiangu was crafty and schemed with other practitioners of the Devil Dao to eliminate competition and increase the treasure portion split between themselves. 
When Wang Tiangu met the other members of the expedition, he was surprised to learn that his nephew had a sour relationship with another Nascent Soul elder of the Drifting Cloud Sect. This elder was Han Li who had recently formed his Nascent Soul. As a result, Wang Tiangu was forced to be vigilant in order to protect his nephew. 
The expedition encountered a patrol of Moulan cultivators as they traveled into the Moulan Prairies en-route to the hidden-residence. There were several Nascent Soul sages amongst the Moulan patrol. Wang Tiangu used a special technique to curry his nephew and nephew's wife to safety by fleeing from the band of Nascent Soul sages. 
== Obtaining Cang Kun's Treasure ==
Wang Tiangu successfully fled with his juniors and escorted them to the Cang Kun's hidden residence. He was surprised to see Han Li had already arrived unharmed. Wang Tiangu became even more wary of Han Li's Wang Tiangu thought Han Li merely outran his pursuer. Wang Tiangu did not know that Han Li had outright defeated the Moulan sage that chased him. Wang Tiangu was further stumped when two sages fled from the group in horror when they saw Han Li.
The expedition group managed to break through the formations protecting the hidden residence. Wang Tiangu searched the residence for treasures and artifacts. He sprung his original scheme into action. This resulted in a hostile standoff with Marquis Nanlong who led the expedition. Wang Tiangu also intended to use this opportunity to eliminate Han Li. However, Han Li decisively acted using fearsome Celestial Ice Flames to imprison and ultimately kill another Nascent Soul elder. After seeing Han Li instantly kill another similarly grade cultivator, Wang Tiangu tried to avoid conflict. Ultimately Wang Tiangu's scheme failed as Han Li and the Marquis made off with important treasures. Wang Tiangu recognized that he could not best Han Li in a direct confrontation.
However, Wang Tiangu managed to obtain a relic that contained an ancient soul. This soul was actually the soul fragment of an Elder Devil. The soul enticed the Wang Family into creating an expedition to venture into the Devilfall Valley for treasures. However, the soul fragment was actually plotting to use the Wang Family to free it from imprisonment within the valley.
== Devilfall Valley Incident ==
Years later, the Ghost Spirit Sect organized an expedition into the Devilfall Valley inviting cultivators from across the Heavenly South and Moulan Tribes. Wang Tiangu joined the expedition under the leadership of the actual sect master Wang Tiansheng. Once inside, the Ghost Spirit Sect went its own way under the guidance of the soul fragment. The Wang Family was led to a Spirit Ether Garden under the guise of obtaining rare treasure. The garden was actually a prison for the main soul of the Elder Devil. Wang Tiangu was tricked into assisting the creation of a spatial tear into a dimension that was sealed to imprison the devil.
Wang Tiangu died when the spatial tear collapsed after the Elder Devil was freed.
