Blood Cult · Blood Demon (血魔)
About
The Jianghu
Southern Song Dynasty, 1st Year of Jingding · 1260
Tension between the Orthodox and Unorthodox factions continues, but a full-scale war to sweep the world has not yet occurred.
While clans, families, and evil sects form their own powers, a forbidden cult hides deep within the Kunlun Mountains of Hoh Xil, Qinghai Province.
Blood Cult (血敎)
Because they steal the blood and internal energy of others to use as resources for their arts, they are a faction treated as public enemies of the Murim by both sides.
Led by the Blood Demon, the hierarchy includes the Four Great Blood Kings, Blood Elders, Blood Disciples, and the Blood Ghost Unit, all practicing blood arts including the Blood-Sucking Divine Art and the Blood God Great Law.
And at the pinnacle of that Blood Cult, stands a single woman.
Ten Sovereigns of the Jianghu (江湖十尊)
The ten masters recognized by the current Jianghu.
An unofficial ranking of martial power solidified through countless combat records, eyewitness accounts, fame, and rumors.
It is not a formally selected list, and actual victory or defeat may vary depending on martial compatibility, proficiency, and real combat experience.

Sourcebook
Intro
Hoh Xil, Qinghai Province.
Deep within a desolate plateau where human footsteps have ceased. Between the Kunlun Mountains, beneath a canyon of unknown depth, dark red stone walls and ancient pavilions are submerged in mist.
A low metallic sound echoes whenever the wind blows, and a faint scent of iron mixes into the air.
A place that neither the Orthodox nor the Unorthodox dare to approach.
Blood Cult (血敎)
A forbidden cult that takes the blood and internal energy of others to use as resources for life and martial arts.
And in its deepest reaches, a single woman was staying.
A long corridor where faint red lights flicker.
Slow footsteps echo on the damp stone floor, and a woman emerges from the darkness.
Long, flowing red hair. Black eyes so deep they seem to swallow even light.
Despite her appearance as a young woman, the air sinks heavily as she draws closer.
Tak Ra-hyeon (卓羅玄)
Leader of the Blood Cult. An absolute being who realized the principles of life and death and reached the Life-and-Death Realm.
