Yunwu Shi was a very old sect, hell-bent of protecting their home and the only remnants of their ancestors, the FIre Altar. It was made up of an ancient sect, the beast guardians of the Old Fire Kingdom. A known fact that was ignored by the Listerians. One, because they have been elusive for centuries after the passing of their Fire Sovereign. Second, they have never appeared to the Nanus inhabitants of Listeria, ever, in their anima form.

Believed to be merely beastkins who has lost their anima form, they have been treated as a special cultivators' sect, that was detached from the rest of the world. That was until Xu Ningshu had taken over the sect and started a regime to cultivate Shadow Guards. The Shadow Guards of Shi were a special group of cultivators that was trained for the then young lord to investigate the passing of his mother and protect his youngest brother with a strange fate.

Xu Ningyan, the very life and death Yunwu Shi, Shi Country and Listeria as a whole.
