"The devil cultivators have returned!" Bai He's voice rang out, he was currently the strongest and acting as the speaker for today's meeting.

"Wh-what?!"

"How is that possible…"

"Whisper... whisper..."

The sudden announcement of the devil cultivators' appearance was like a thunderbolt from a clear sky. Many thought that this meeting would be as ordinary as usual, but...

It turned out that there was such news! Li Yuilan and Lu Yin did not look surprised, which was understandable - their Masters had warned them.

However, this did not mean that they were not concerned.

"The world is changing," Li Yuilan felt the threads of fate intertwining and chaos beginning: "Cultivators will meet their enemies again... devils hiding in the darkness!"

Bai He twisted the corners of his mouth as his gaze swept over all the cultivators in the room - he felt disgusted at their frightened faces.

Although he was a scoundrel by nature, there was still pride in him as a righteous cultivator. He remembered the power of his ancestors who broke the devil cultivators and was not afraid of them, but rather, he was excited.

"Turbulent times will help me build a foundation of reputation and gather subordinates. Then the Bai family will belong to me alone!"

Some thought the same, but in most cases, people panicked. For them, these two words "devil cultivator" were a nightmare hanging over their heads.

Everyone knew and remembered the reputation of these evil people who were more like monsters. Their power was cruel, their methods were cruel, and every appearance of a devil cultivator was accompanied by deaths and hordes of undead.

An atmosphere of fear and tension hung in the air, gradually replacing the once dominant and fearless aura that had been preserved since ancient times.

Once upon a time, countless righteous cultivators stood on this spot, holding the leash that bound the necks of the devil cultivators.

But now, this leash has disappeared, and the once quiet and hiding in the dark forests enemy has risen, baring its sharp teeth.

They had the motivation to develop, and the righteous cultivators did not. The world had undergone degradation.

Who among the current cultivators would want to cultivate instead of drinking and women? Of course, a small percentage.

In their comfortable conditions, no one wanted to leave their warm nest. And this was the cancer of the current generation.

***

"Pathetic. Pathetic! What a pathetic behavior, unworthy of cultivators! Shameful!"

In a small dimly lit room sat three people. The speaker was Xu Mei, looking at the projection of the cultivators' meeting.

Next to her sat two women - Zhang Mei and Liu Yang. On their faces, one could also see a hint of disappointment.

Xu Mei was the most angered, believing that her honor and dignity as a righteous cultivator had been affected.

"A generation of pigs! What is there to fear from the enemy?! This way, you will show yourself to be nothing more than prey in the eyes of the predator, scumbags!" Xu Mei scolded and crossed her arms over her chest: "Pf! They are not even worth the dirt under my disciple's nails! Shameful!"

"Eh... stop saying such dirty words, Xu Mei. It doesn't suit your status and age," said Liu Yang with an awkward smile.

Liu Yang, the head of the Nine Pills Sect, looked very attractive, which was common for cultivators of her level.

She had long dark silver hair, bright yellow eyes, and no less bright breasts... cough... her chest was of medium size. She was a slender woman.

Notable were her hips, which seemed to beg you to dive face down into them. Her butt was also good, in short, a dream for any culture connoisseur!

"Pf! Whatever, I haven't even started cursing these sons of cheap sluts! There will be a handful of people who won't shit their pants when they see a devil cultivator in front of them!" Xu Mei said angrily, and then slyly giggled: "But my disciple was the first to detect the appearance of these scumbags and thwarted the enemy's plan! Now that's what I call a real man!"

Zhang Mei rolled her eyes, and Liu Yang looked surprised, staring at her old friend. They had known each other for more than a thousand years, had gone through fire and water together, and she saw for the first time how this woman said something positive about any of the men.

"What is your disciple's name? Although I have known about him for so long from my disciple's words, I was busy preparing pills and sect affairs," Liu Yang asked with a gentle smile, emanating an aura of spring and kindness, which became the first reason for her nickname: "May I know his name?"

"Hehe, of course! My disciple's name is Xie Qing!" Xu Mei proudly thumped her chest and said: "He is very talented! Old woman Zhang Mei can confirm it!"

"Pf!"

Zhang Mei only snorted in disapproval but did not deny it. Liu Yang looked surprised and then repeated his name with a smile:

"Xie... Qing? Hm, interesting... isn't he the brother of your disciple, Xie Yu?" she asked Zhang Mei, who nodded. Thinking for a moment, the head of the Nine Pills Sect nodded: "So that's it. From the Xie family, yes...

hm, recently they had an incident and they even asked me to give them pills on credit, but I refused."

"The family of my disciple is currently in disorder, but this is temporary. In a few months, the Xie family will meet a good head of the family," Xu Mei replied proudly.

"Pf, sure... I can just imagine how this boy will manage the family. He will ask all the women in the estate to serve him in turn," Zhang Mei rolled her eyes and commented.

"Oh? So he's a womanizer?" Liu Yang asked with a smile that looked somewhat dangerous: "He's just close with my disciple..."

"Hehe. So he has reached your disciple. Prepare a dowry, Sister Yan, your disciple is getting married soon," Zhang Mei rolled her eyes and said, ignoring Xu Mei's sharp gaze. She unhappily commented: "This boy has somehow bewitched my disciple. Just mention the name of this scumbag, and her face turns red!"

Liu Yang gently laughed, but from this laughter, Xu Mei and Zhang Mei's backs were covered in goosebumps.

"What an interesting boy. It seems he's very charming, isn't he?" Liu Yang murmured and looked at Xu Mei with an unreadable smile: "Sweetie, please let your disciple be a little more restrained."

"Eh...?"

Xu Mei was covered in goosebumps and although she wanted to say:

"Huh? Why the fuck should my disciple hold back! Let your disciple not throw herself at him like a bitch in heat!"

However, Liu Yang's smile was too scary. Although Xu Mei was the strongest among them in terms of power, the woman with a gentle smile was much older in terms of seniority.

Moreover, for everyone in their group, Liu Yang was the older sister who had saved them many times in difficult situations. So, the Sword Princess just snorted and turned away.

***

The meeting discussed some possible methods to deal with the devil cultivators, but nothing useful was devised.

Some suggested using mortals as bait, and some asked to ensure the safety of noble-blooded people from the bloodthirsty gazes of devil cultivators.

No one wanted to stick their necks out, which was understandable - everyone valued their lives. But there were also brave ones who fiercely declared the need to fight to protect the cultivation world.

Mostly everyone nodded and supported, but in reality, they considered such people foolish.

Lu Yin and Li Yuilan left the meeting with grim faces. What they saw throughout the meeting were only flattering and fat faces of cultivators who should have united in a moment of danger.

"What a disgrace..." Li Yuilan muttered with a sigh and slightly opened her empty eyes, narrowing them, and closing them again: "I see that disaster is approaching. With such a mood, the cultivation world is doomed."

Lu Yin silently nodded. She was also not in a positive mood. Unless a beacon appeared in the world that would lead all cultivators, the world would be doomed.

Xu Mei was the beacon at that time. An incredible genius who put all previous record-holders to shame and, making her way through the bodies of geniuses, acquired the title of the greatest genius.

However, unfortunately, even Bai He, who was considered one of the brilliant geniuses, could not show himself as Xu Mei did and even more so attracted people.

The character of a hero. That's what the man lacked, besides being weak.

For a good ten minutes, gloom hung between them. The two girls were the main geniuses of the current generation, and there were many hopes for them.

Lu Yin, and Li Yuilan were so far the only outstanding geniuses. The Resting Eagle Sect and the Heavenly Sword Sect had not yet produced a genius worthy of attention.

"I wonder when the hero who will light our way will appear?" Lu Yin thought.

... hey, don't make me rush.

***

Meanwhile, the genius who was supposed to save the world lay on his bed and cultivated.

Next to him sat Xie Meiling with a red face.

The thing was this: five minutes ago, the young man offered to massage her, and the woman was not against it. During the massage, he kept touching her sensitive spot.

And Xie Meiling, unable to hold back, finished. However, that was not all.

The young man first froze, and then quickly sat in the lotus position. His gaze seemed to clear, Qi flowed out of the window, and a vortex formed around him.

The aura emanating from him began to strengthen, and clouds gathered over the Sect of Nine Pills.

Heavenly Tribulation!

Panic immediately began in the sect. Many experienced cultivators looked in amazement as evil clouds formed in the sky, and the world of the sect plunged into darkness.

A few seconds passed in silence, and then...

Boom!

A flash lit up the heavens, and a fierce lightning bolt struck directly at the inn, bypassing obstacles in the form of walls, and pierced the young man's body.

"S-s-ss...!"

Xie Qing inhaled the cold air, and his eyes rolled back from the pain. However, he clenched his teeth and continued to meditate.

Following his cultivation technique, he directed his Qi and emitted an aura, presenting himself as a cultivator one step away from Soul Nascent.

The people from the inn had long been evacuated, and the sect's elders activated a protective mechanism that fenced off the inn.

"Who is this master... decided to break through right in the sect?!" dissatisfied voices were heard.

Several elders were angry. Heavenly Lightning could kill those who were nearby! It was very dangerous.

When some of the stronger, more confident elders wanted to enter, a shout sounded behind their backs.

"Stop!"

The people turned and saw an old man with a long beard standing behind their backs. His face looked wrinkled, his back hunched, and his body thin and emaciated. He wore a dark golden robe.

"Head Elder!"

The other elders, seeing this man, bowed.
