The Six Clans, or Six Sects, are the clans that hold a large portion of power and influence in the Heavenly Demonic Cult. Specifically, the Dark Clan, Sword Clan, Spring Clan, Poison Clan, Blade Clan and Sound Clan.
Originally, the wife of the Lord of the Heavenly Demonic Cult, also known as the Holy Maiden (Demonic Lady in the novel), was chosen by the Holy Fire at the Giant Altar. At that time, the child born by the Holy Maiden was allowed to be the heir and Vice-Lord in the future, so no specific clan was able to consolidate power[1]. But due to the untimely death of the 7th Lord Cheon Mu Hui, the elders at that time took initiative to gain an upper hand in power[2], thus leading to the new system of marrying Cheon Mu Hwa[3], the daughter of the late Lord, since the old system of Holy Fire is not appropriate to use. This incident then led to a concentration of power among specific clans within the cult.
