The Blood Shadow Sect, Waning Sun Gate, Mysterious Darkness Cult, and Blood Separation Sect were four notorious evil sects near Qian City and Kun City, known for their reckless actions and cruel, murderous cultivation techniques.
Apart from the extremely evil members of Demon Cults who went to extremes using living beings or souls for their practice, evil sects generally left ordinary people completely untouched.
However, even for righteous Cultivation Sects, their bases were mostly located deep in the mountains where Spiritual Energy was abundant and more conducive to cultivation.
If it weren't for the appearance of the Divinely Chosen Ones, it was highly unlikely that Cultivation Sects would establish recruitment points in towns inhabited by ordinary people to select disciples.
