At the main temple of the Poison Demon Cult.
Venom Master Xun walked out of her chamber and into the dimly lit corridors, her black and purple robes bearing the insignia of her Arachnid Branch trailed behind her like a venomous shadow as she moved.
It was deep in the night but the other two Venom Masters, Kang and Gao, stationed with her called for a meeting in the temple's central hall.
The acrid scent of simmering poisons filled the air and the walls lined with jars of wriggling spiders and venom sacs pulsed faintly in the light.
Her steps were confident as her mind replayed the High Priest's audacious plan and the treachery she had orchestrated against Gao and Kang.
If the old man succeeded, the cult would shift irrevocably and she intended to be on the winning side. In their cult, there's not so much camaraderie that was prevalent to all those Righteous Faction cultivators.
They only had their own benefit in mind below their faith in the Great Poison Demon.
