The Master's First Disciple

{Plot-driven power fantasy + protective redemption + ensemble cast + no central couple in any story + the women are stronger than the men}

Mu Hua Yan, chief disciple of the Divine Sun Sect, is the female cultivator every cultivator envies and the senior sister all the sect’s younger disciples adore.

When the sects that once pursued her master join forces with the demon race and cut off her escape, she lays a trap and wipes out the entire sect.

A demon cultivator mocks her for meddling and secretly sets up a chain of traps to lure her out, only to be outmaneuvered and cut down by her sword.

Mu Hua Yan’s killing intent surges. How his life is decided is up to him.

Her once-obedient, gentle junior brother, who later becomes a crazed and unruly menace: “Senior Sister, I’ll protect you. Your life belongs to me alone.”

The scheming, domineering Human Emperor: “I’d give her my life.”

The cold, arrogant King of Hell: “He’s clingy.”

The patient, obsessive Dragon Emperor: “I’ll take her back to the Dragon Palace and hide her away.”

The wicked, violent Demon Venerable: “I’ll make her a saintess on the spot.”

Her: …

P.S. The perspective is a little chaotic at first, so stick with it. The story is still worth reading. There is a romance, but not much of one; the romantic plot serves the main story.
