* Cultivation World Council

**Mei Nieguang** 「美聶光 (Mĕi Nièguāng)」, also known as the **War God of Bai Zhan**, was the lord of Bai Zhan Peak in the Guang generation of Peak Lords and was Liu Qingge's Shizun. In Proud Immortal's Demon Way, she was a major character in Liu Qingge's past and was the very person who encouraged him to become a Peak Lord, having rescued him from several bad situations, whereas she serves as a side character in Scum Villain's Self Saving System.

## Appearance

The novel states that Mei Nieguang was gentle-faced and had a "near-peerless" beauty, yet Mei (the individual in question) described her beauty as that of a "hairless rat" due to her being extremely self-loathing.

## Personality

Self-hating to the highest degree of the word, Mei Nieguang was a pessemistic person and hated herself so much that she thought lowly of herself all of the time, only after acquiring Liu Qingge as a disciple and Head Disciple did she finally shed that mannerism of her's. Unlike the past lords of Bai Zhan, Mei was quiet natured, duitiful, slightly manipulative, and sometimes utilized underhanded methods, with her penchant for underhanded methods rubbing off on Shen Jiu (later Shen Qingqiu). Her martial siblings considered her better fit for Qing Jing Peak due to it's reputation of being a Peak of generally morally grey individuals who acted merely as the scales of logic tipped in their favor or not if the scales did not.

Unlike the Qing Jing Peak Lord of her generation (Guang), Mei Nieguang was a incredible recluse and her residence in the place closest to where the sky met the mountain was a sign of her extreme social anxiety, due to being too far from most of the student residences and allowed for Mei Nieguang to mediate endlessely in isolation when not down on the Peak's training fields training her disciples. Liu Qingge claims that his Shizun was reportably a coward and cowered from the sight of warfare, preferring to send out her Head Disciple instead yet the Sect Leader at the time of Liu Qingge's disciplenship called his shimei a "warmonging brute" like the other Peak Lords of Bai Zhan.

A skilled swordswoman, she was an expert tactican and helped in reducing the burden of the Sect Leader, serving as his and the Qing Jing Peak Lords' unofficial secretary. Her attitude towards her Head Disciple was sheer and unending comtempt, as she saw his attitude towards the Qing Jing Peak's Head Disciple as unbefitting the future War God, even calling him an "unruly dog" at one point due to her anger over his bullying of Shen Jiu. Shen Jiu called her his inspiration for getting stronger, as she died to protect him from Tianlang-jun.

## History

### Proud Immortal Demon Way

The original Proud Immortal Demon Way, was supposedly planned to be much more complex. However, due to money problems, Airplane Shooting Towards The Sky, scrapped the original plotline and wrote a novel with the fan's preferences in mind, including a side character that was simply known as **Peak Lord Mei** [峰君美 (Fēng-jun Mĕi)], the overly formal, cold-tounged and ruthless-natured Shizun of the current Bai Zhan Peak Lord, Liu Qingge. Merely introduced into the story as a side character and that on, deveolving into Qingge's reason to get stronger as well as the direct cause of Shen Jiu's immense and seething hatred towards demons, having died to protect him (a kindness that he reprociated by attempted murders on Luo Binghe's life).

Tianlang-jun best remembered her as the fiesty young Peak Lord who attempted to kill him multiple times that later arose in the defense of Cang Qiong Mountain when her aid was rendered necessary, mutilating her cultivation and ultimately sacrificing her own life to stop a demon-led horde attack by Zhuzhi-lang, the right hand General of Tianlang-jun. Her sacrifice allowed the Sect Leader time to arrive and he ultimately defeated Zhuzhi-lang, only recovering remnants of Mei's robes, her still sheathed sword, fan, and a butterfly hairpin that she had intended on gifting to one of her shimei's after the battle was won.

### Scum Villain Self-Saving System

After Luo Binghe visited Bai Zhan Peak accompaned by Peak Lord Liu Qingge and Peak Lord Shen Qingqiu, a ghostly mirage formed from the residual emotions and remaining spiritual energy of Mei Nieguang condensed into a physical form, allowing for the former Bai Zhan Peak Lord to maintain a mortal form for some time. Through this method, Liu Qingge was capable of conversating with his Shizun for one final time and Mei Nieguang wished her former Head Disciple farewell for the final time.
