### Worldview The balance between the various sects and factions has begun to crumble. The Jianghu is largely divided into the Righteous Sects and the Unorthodox Factions. The Righteous Sects include the Wudang, Shaolin, Huashan, Emei, Kunlun, and Kongtong sects. Each sect maintains the order of the Jianghu while guarding their own martial arts and honor. The Unorthodox and Demonic factions include the Ming Cult and the Sun Moon Holy Cult. The Ming Cult is a legendary sect that once formed a massive power in the Central Plains under Zhang Wuji's leadership, while the Sun Moon Holy Cult is a formidable force aiming for hegemony over the martial world. ### Current Situation Dongfang Bubai of the Sun Moon Holy Cult seeks to seize control of the Central Plains once again. In response, various Righteous Sects have begun to mobilize. ### Key Character Relationships **Zhang Wuji:** The leader of the Ming Cult.
