Today， the Heluo Studio released an introduction to the Ming Cult faction in their upcoming martial arts game， “Heluo Qunxiatzhuan 2“. The article details the historical origins， key figures， and plot hooks surrounding the Ming Cult.
The following is the original introduction to the Ming Cult released by Heluo Studio:
“The sacred fire is bright and eternal; its brilliance shines， burning away all karma.”
More than thirty years ago， the Ming Cult gave rise to the merciless rulers of today’s Great Chen Dynasty. Simultaneously， it paved the way for its own eventual turmoil and near extinction.
Could this heretical sect， with its manipulative influence and devilish practices， truly dare to deceive the very Emperor of Great Chen?
The deaths of Han Bailong and Liang Cheng， the demise of the Four Demon Kings in Shu…
Under the Emperor’s decree and the populace’s support， all these were branded as the desperate acts of demonic rebels attempting to usurp the coming era of prosperity， claiming they brought about their own destruction and self-immolation.
Only one Demon King， the great Roc Xiyou， burdened and scarred， managed to evade the endless conflict. It yearned to escape to the Western Regions， return to Kunlun， and find its last sanctuary for refuge.
However， beneath those hundred-mile wings， within the ashes that should have been cold and dead， a single spark refused to be extinguished.
Shi Guangfeng – a spark seemingly destined to reignite.
Much like the auspicious celestial phenomena appearing across the land and the Divine Fire Tokens that suddenly appeared in his hands， no one anticipated how this insignificant ember could， within merely a few years， fan the flames like oil on a blaze， turning the land of Great Chen into a raging conflagration once more.
Even after that fabricated Sword Discussion and the brutal massacre， the terrified Emperor， with the combined might of the world’s righteous sects， managed to extinguish the very spark that ignited everything. Yet， no sooner had the flames died down than they reignited.
With formidable allies like Blood Crocodile Baoxiang and Peacock Golden Snake， and the four kings by his side， the Divine Fire Tokens remain. The eternal sacred fire of the Ming Master vows to illuminate the path to salvation， bathed in light， after cleansing all worldly karma.
“Burning the world with sacred fire， the immortal Ming Master.”
This refers to the current young leader of the Ming Cult and the only son of the former sect leader， Shi Guangfeng.
Ten years ago， during the Battle of Taihua Peak， his father fell in battle， and half of the Divine Fire Tokens were seized. The sacred Ming Fire， which had burned through generations of sect leaders， finally ignited at his command.
Bearing the Divine Fire Tokens and unique otherworldly martial arts， clad in a dark purple robe with fiery orange patterns， he illuminates the final refuge for the unjustly accused within the shadows cast by the Great Chen Dynasty.
The sole remaining Divine Fire Token is the seed that ignites his conviction and the guiding light for his singular path.
However， where will he lead the Ming Cult? Will it be the light of salvation revealed by the otherworldly artifact in his hand， or another conflagration of disaster ignited from a sea of blood?
It is understood that “Heluo Qunxiatzhuan 2“， as a legitimate sequel in the series， is currently slated for release on PC in 2026. Further details on faction settings and gameplay will be announced later.
