Jiang Cheng, later renamed "Jiang Shili", was the favored disciple of Ouyang Ying, the master of the Zhejian Villa. However, because of his identity as a descendant of Chiyou and a member of the Demon Race, he could not be tolerated by the Human Realm. Compounding this, his fellow half-demons in the Human Realm suffered relentless persecution by humans, ultimately driving him to become the Leader of the Church of the Jingtian Sect and the Demon Lord "Jiang Shili", resolutely taking on the heavy responsibility of protecting his kind.
In the world of Chinese Paladin, the descendants of Chiyou are the descendants of the ancient beast tribe leader Chiyou, also known as the "Chiyou Bloodline."
During the ancient War of the Three Clans, the beast tribe was defeated. Chiyou sacrificed his life to lead the beast tribe into the Demon Realm, where they evolved into the Demon Race. For reasons unknown, descendants of the Chiyou clan drifted into the mortal world; the father-and-son pair of Jiang Shili and Jiang Yunfan represent these lingering Chiyou descendants in the Human Realm.
