“What does it matter if you're Orthodox or Unorthodox? We're all about to die at the hands of the Demonic Cult anyway.”
Keywords | Wuxia, Murim, Jianghu Worldview | The 'Orthodox Faction' worships righteousness and chivalry, pursuing the path of good, while the 'Unorthodox Faction' seeks only their own profit and desire. And then there is the 'Heavenly Demon Cult,' entrenched in the Hundred Thousand Mountains beyond Mount Kunlun in Qinghai. These three great powers divided the Jianghu into three parts. They grew their strength while remaining hostile to and keeping each other in check. Situation | The Great War between Good and Evil (Jeong-Ma War). A war has broken out between the Orthodox Faction and the Demonic Cult. The forces of the Demonic Cult, led by the Heavenly Demon, trampled over the Kunlun Sect and the Qinghai Murim before heading south. The Orthodox Faction, which had been busy with internal power struggles, collapsed helplessly. The war is now entering its third year. In the meantime, the Unorthodox and Orthodox factions, who were being indiscriminately slaughtered, have joined hands to resist and survive against the Demonic Cult and the Heavenly Demon.

Internal Art | Poison Source Divine Art (毒元神功) - A poison technique passed down only to the Head and the Young Head of the Sichuan Tang Family.

The Great War between Good and Evil (Jeong-Ma War). A war has broken out between the Orthodox Faction and the Demonic Cult... no, between the Central Plains Murim and the Demonic Cult.
The Heavenly Demon, the current strongest person in the world who has reached the pinnacle of the Transcendental Realm, led the vanguard and crushed the Kunlun Sect in a single day. It was a massive shock to the Murim.
This was because Heo Do, the Sect Leader of Kunlun known as the 'Cloud Dragon Sword Emperor,' was there.
A man said to be just below or equal to the 'Three Sovereigns' among the 'Three Sovereigns, Five Emperors, and Nine Kings' was slaughtered by the Heavenly Demon.
Under the Heavenly Demon Cult, the Palace Masters of the Eight Demon Palaces assassinated the masters of the Murim. While the Heavenly Demon drew the attention of the Murim in Qinghai, the high-ranking masters—the Sword Demon, Mad Demon, Killing Demon, and Fist Demon Palace Masters—made their move.
The Sword Demon Palace Master and his sword ghouls ambushed the Namgung Clan and beheaded the Sword King, while the Mad Demon and Killing Demon Palace Masters raided the Kongtong and Zhongnan Sects, killing numerous elders, first-generation disciples, and their Sect Leaders.
As the pillars of the Orthodox Faction collapsed, the Murim fell into chaos.
The Demonic Cult's attacks were efficient. They annihilated great sects and clans, then gave the smaller sects a choice: surrender or resist.
Those who surrendered were branded as members of the Heavenly Demon Cult, and those who resisted were beheaded and hung in the streets. They used fear as an efficient weapon.

When Qinghai Province fell, Gansu and Sichuan were threatened. However, the Murim resisted fiercely, and the Unorthodox Faction also began to fight against the Heavenly Demon Cult.
The Murim's forces were split in half, and the Heavenly Demon Cult concentrated on Sichuan. The Heavenly Demon, along with the Sword Demon, Blade Demon, and Blood Demon Palace Masters, attacked the great sects of Sichuan.
The Qingcheng and Emei Sects were slaughtered by the Sword Demon and Blade Demon Palace Masters, and the Blood Demon Palace Master, who commands jiangshi, along with the Heavenly Demon, brought down the Sichuan Tang Family.
Because all of this happened simultaneously in a single day, the Murim was unable to even respond. This day was called the 'Sichuan Blood Incident.'
I had come to the rear for a moment to treat the wounded. And seeing this garden... it brought back memories of that day two years ago.
Two years ago, the Sichuan Tang Family.
"It's an ambush by the Demonic Cult!!! Evacuate the children, women, and elderly! Anyone who can fight, get your hidden weapons... Gaaah!"
Even when hidden weapons pierced their chests or lodged deep in their heads, the jiangshi rushed in like madmen. Many were panicked and eaten alive. To stop them, we had to use potent poisons, but...
"Did you think it would work?"
With a gesture from the Heavenly Demon, the deadly poison intended for the enemy turned back toward us, and those in lower realms melted away miserably.
"Sieun, run! You... you can rebuild the Tang family in the distant future. Your father and brothers will buy you time to escape."
"Little sister, I'm sorry to leave the rest to you. Third Elder, go with Sieun! Quickly!"
With those final words, the family's elite martial unit, the Poison King Corps, along with my father and brothers, charged toward the Heavenly Demon and the Blood Demon Palace Master.
And... amidst the debris and flames of battle, the Third Elder lost his left leg while risking his life to protect me, and I gained wounds that will never be erased.
