On a picturesque mountain peak.
The sunlight was bright, birds sang amid fragrant blossoms, and the view stretched far and wide. The back of the mountain had a strong spiritual vein, making the feng shui seem exceptionally favorable.
This was the burial ground Yi Feng had deliberately chosen for himself.
The woman in light gauze was propped up beside him.
A cool breeze swept past, carrying a slight chill.
Yi Feng glanced at the thinly dressed woman and took out a robe from his spatial ring to drape over her.
Sure, this woman was detestable.
But given the leader’s laughable incompetence, even without her interference, she wouldn’t have been able to kill him anyway.
Besides, Yi Feng had never harbored any ill intentions toward her, nor had he ever thought of harming her. He was merely using her temporarily to draw the Hong Sect’s hatred.
Soon, they’d send hundreds of experts to surround him, bombarding him with all kinds of skills in a chaotic frenzy.
Just thinking about it filled him with delight.
"Beauty, you’ll have to endure this hardship for a little while longer."
"Once I become invincible and immortal, I’ll repay you properly."
Lazily leaning against a rock, Yi Feng gazed at the distant sky, shaking his leg with anticipation as he muttered, "Hong Sect, oh Hong Sect, your experts had better hurry up..."
"Given your reputation as a notorious sect, your reaction should be swift. You’ll probably arrive in no time."
"And you won’t come alone—it’ll be a grand, overwhelming force..."
...
Meanwhile, within the Hong Sect.
The solemn great hall was packed with people.
Without exception, they were all the absolute upper echelons of the Hong Sect.
"Let me repeat—not a single word of this can be leaked. Unconditionally cooperate with Lady Piaomiao Hong!"
The Hong Sect’s sect master lowered his voice as he relayed the order to the crowd.
"Understood."
They nodded solemnly.
Though they didn’t know the full details, they were vaguely aware of the struggles among the Saints.
They understood all too well that in such conflicts, a mere sect like theirs had no right to participate. Even if they forced their way in, they’d only end up as cannon fodder.
Fortunately, Piaomiao Hong—a true powerhouse from the Heavenly Domain—had arrived with Luo Chen, the Butcher, and a maidservant in tow. She requested temporary lodging in their sect, asking only for secrecy, cooperation, and the concealment of their identities.
In return, once the struggle among the Saints concluded, the Hong Sect would receive some benefits.
Though the exact rewards weren’t specified, everyone knew that even the scraps from a powerhouse like Piaomiao Hong would be enough to fill their bellies.
If she were slightly more generous, perhaps the Hong Sect could even ascend to the ranks of a Dao Sect.
The mere thought made the future seem bright indeed.
Just as the Hong Sect’s higher-ups were indulging in these rosy visions, a panicked voice suddenly rang out from outside the hall.
"Report!"
"Sect Master! Sect Master, disaster has struck!"
The elder who had accompanied the convoy rushed in, frantic.
"What happened?"
The sect master frowned, standing up urgently.
"Lady Piaomiao Hong—Lady Piaomiao Hong has been kidnapped!" the elder shouted before recounting the entire incident in detail.
"What?!"
The news sent shockwaves through the hall.
Their golden ticket, their powerful backer—snatched away by some terrifying mystery man?
What kind of cursed luck was this?!
"What about Luo Chen?" the sect master demanded, eyes wide.
"L-Luo Chen... he slashed at the man, but the attacker wasn’t even scratched. Luo Chen nearly died on the spot, then fled with Piaomiao Hong’s personal maidservant," the elder stammered.
"Luo Chen ran too?!"
The sect master’s face darkened to an ashen hue. Clutching his forehead in despair, he groaned, "After finally securing this connection, after clinging to such a powerful ally... The Hong Sect’s future as a Dao Sect rested entirely on her! How could this happen?!"
The blow had come right as they were dreaming of greatness.
"Sect Master, forget about the alliance for now—that’s not even the worst part!" the elder cried.
"The real problem is, since Lady Piaomiao Hong introduced herself as part of the Hong Sect, the kidnapper left a message: he’s waiting for us to come rescue her. If we don’t, he’ll annihilate the Hong Sect!"
"WHAT?!"
The sect master nearly fainted on the spot, frantically pinching his philtrum to stay conscious.
The rest of the Hong Sect erupted into chaos.
What kind of cosmic joke was this?!
How could the Hong Sect possibly measure up?
Anyone capable of kidnapping Piaomiao Hong and scaring off Luo Chen was far beyond their league!
They weren’t even fit to be cannon fodder in this fight!
Truly, when gods war, mortals suffer.
"Reckless... so reckless!"
"We never should’ve gotten involved in the Saints’ conflict, never should’ve tied ourselves to Piaomiao Hong!"
"Someone! Someone!"
Still pinching his philtrum, the sect master barked orders in a panic: "Lock down the mountain! Activate the protective formation! No one leaves—everyone hunkers down and plays turtle!"
Then, he traced a few talismanic symbols in the air before his chest and forehead, closing his eyes in devout prayer as his lips trembled.
"Ohhh mama mia... Bodhisattva, protect us... protect us..."
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”

] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards. For Luo Wei, flirting with every girl he meets and then discarding them is standard procedure. Worried about characters losing affection points? No need. With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back. It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers. However... Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.
