Dark Guild Donghua - Symbol

Black Demon Design
Donghua Episode 31

Manhua Variant: Name is changed to "Darkness Association."[1]

A secret organization of criminals which is the driving force behind most illegal activities in Glory City. They are considered the enemy of the ruling families.[2] Part of this comes from their habit of kidnapping the children of these families in order to collect a ransom. Their hidden base is thought to be outside of Glory City in the St. Ancestral Mountains.[3] Their robes carry a black demon design on the back.[4]

The Sacred Family's Star Restaurant is a front for the Dark Guild in Glory City to work out of.[5]

Ye Zong has stated that the Dark Guild is trying to push the demon beasts into attacking Glory City. It is implied that this is likely what caused Glory City's destruction in Nie Li's past life, though Nie Li is currently unaware of this possible connection between the Dark Guild and the demon beast attack.[6]

Nie Li later discovers that the Dark Guild is based out of Blackrock City in the Nether Realm.[7] Though he doesn't personally run into them while there. He does manage to push them into a corner by sending several high ranking Demigod level experts after them. However, the Dark Guild disappears before they are confronted.[8]

Note: I am using the term "minion" to label unnamed Dark Guild Members. Two more of the minions listed below have been killed, but which two is not yet known.
