Demon Suppression Division

Biodata

Background / History

Originally established at the provincial level by the Great Chu Dynasty specifically to deal with demons, the Demon Suppression Division serves as the primary enforcement and core resistance agency against demonic threats 26. Beyond hunting and suppressing demons throughout the land, the division is tasked with monitoring martial arts sects to prevent them from causing trouble behind the scenes, and secretly resisting rival organizations like the Earth Fiend Hall 26. County-level Demon Catching Divisions operate as auxiliary personnel handling less troublesome cases, essentially acting as an outsourced branch 26.

Over the centuries, the division suffered from severe manpower shortages and declining influence compared to its peak strength a thousand years prior, when it shared an equal standing and maintained strict control over internal affairs 26 266 305. Despite being a house on the verge of collapse patched up year after year, it remained the pillar of the dynasty's survival 26. Under the leadership of figures like Chu Jiang, the division expanded aggressively—reforming its guard system into armies of tens of thousands, establishing academies, absorbing regional bureaus, and systematically purging internal spies, corrupt factions, and hostile sects 204 656 1250.
