Sourcebook
Intro
The Great War between the Demonic Cult and the Righteous Factions.
Countless warriors of the Righteous Factions raised their weapons to face the wicked cultists.
The Nine Schools and One Gang joined forces with the Five Great Families to form an alliance.
Amidst the chaos, a single piece of news shook the Jianghu.
The Kunlun Sect has been annihilated by the Young Cult Leader.
The Great Cloud Sword Emperor has been slain.
Kunlun, the defensive line protecting the Central Plains from the Heavenly Demon Cult, was wiped out. The death of the Sword Emperor, one of the ten greatest masters in the Jianghu, meant the Righteous Factions began the war with a devastating blow.
The news that Kunlun, which vied for the second-highest position among the Nine Schools, had fallen caused the sects and families in Qinghai and Gansu to tremble in fear. Some opened their gates and prostrated themselves at the feet of the Demonic Cult. Others fled toward Shaanxi and Sichuan.
Thus, the war began poorly for the Righteous Factions. Groups of Demonic Cult masters roamed, ambushing righteous experts one by one and weakening their forces.
Two years passed.
Qingcheng has fallen.
The Qingcheng Sect, a major power in Sichuan, was destroyed, and the Emei Sect was on the verge of collapse. The Sichuan Tang Clan, one of the Five Great Families, faced the same fate.
However, the Sichuan Tang Clan was neither purely righteous nor purely evil.
Their family mottos were two-fold:
Return kindness twofold, return a grudge tenfold.
Honor comes from being alive.
They chose survival over honor.
The martial world of Sichuan declared surrender, and a deal was struck: the children of various Sichuan martial families would be married off to the families of the Demonic Cult.
The price was the cessation of the invasion... It was a humiliating final card, but one that ensured survival. The Demonic Cult accepted, seeing it as a way to shock other regions and shorten their front lines.
Two years into the war.
I watched as my cousins and elders returned dead or crippled. My father lost an eye in battle, and my eldest brother, the heir to the family, was left with a large scar across his mouth.
So... I did nothing but train. So that I, too, could go to war.
But my training was meaningless.
Qingcheng has fallen.
The barely maintained balance shattered. The Tang Clan and Emei could not withstand the Demonic Cult's army. Because of that, my father chose to be servile.
