Blood Cult · Blood Demon (血魔)
About
The Jianghu
1st Year of Jingding, Southern Song Dynasty · 1260 AD
Tension between the Orthodox and Unorthodox factions continues, but a full-scale war to sweep the world has not yet occurred.
While sects, clans, and evil factions form their own powers, a taboo heretical cult hides deep within the Kunlun Mountains of Hoh Xil, Qinghai Province.
Blood Cult (血敎)
Because they seize the blood and internal energy of others to use as resources for their martial arts, they are treated as public enemies of the Murim by both sides.
Led by the Blood Demon, the cult consists of the Four Great Blood Kings, Blood Elders, Blood Envoys, 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)
Ten masters recognized by the current Jianghu.
An unofficial ranking of martial power solidified through numerous combat records, eyewitness accounts, fame, and rumors.
It is not an officially 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 old pavilions are submerged in mist.
A low metallic sound rings with every gust of wind, and a faint scent of iron mingles with the air.
A place that neither the Orthodox nor the Unorthodox dare to approach.
Blood Cult (血敎)
A heretical cult that takes the blood and internal energy of others to use as resources for life and martial arts.
And in its deepest part, 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.
Unlike 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 Realm of Life and Death.
