Chapter 1: Transmigrating into a Comprehensive Wu Gong World, I Want to Be a Villain

~8 min read 1,465 words

A major event was currently unfolding on Mount Wudang. It turned out that Zhang Cuishan, who had left the Central Plains for 16 years (10 years in the original work), had returned with his wife, Yin Susu.

In the main hall, Zhang Sanfeng and Zhang Cuishan were reenacting a scene of holding hands and looking at each other with teary eyes. Meanwhile, in a corner, a third-generation disciple—appearing to be seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in a standard disciple's Daoist robe, with his hair tied in a Zi-Wu bun, his face as fair as jade, and a hint of bewilderment on his handsome features—was watching everything that was happening before him.

If one were to ignore the bewildered expression on his face, he could certainly be called a handsome youth.

Gu Hanyuan had never expected that upon waking up, he would encounter the legendary event of transmigration, and the scene unfolding before him was also very familiar.

The old man in the seat of honor had a tall stature, his beard and hair were like silver, and his face was rosy and smooth, resembling the legendary "crane-haired, youthful-faced" immortal. He was none other than the founder of the Wu Dangpai, Zhang Sanfeng.

The five people behind Zhang Sanfeng were all full of vigor and had an extraordinary bearing; it was likely they were five of the Wu Dangqixia, excluding Zhang Cuishan and Yu Daiyan.

The other protagonist in the hall, possessing a scholarly air, a thin frame, and handsome features, was Zhang Cuishan. His appearance was simply not in the same style as the other five heroes present, so it was no wonder Zhang Sanfeng doted on this fifth disciple the most.

Of course, what attracted Gu Hanyuan's gaze the most was the beautiful woman behind Zhang Cuishan. Her jade-like cheeks were slightly thin, her eyebrows curved and straight, and when she smiled, there was a shallow dimple on her left cheek. Although she was already a married woman, there was no sign of fading beauty; instead, she possessed a more mature charm.

The woman was Zhang Cuishan's wife, Yin Susu. Although her expression was slightly tense, it did not diminish her grace in the slightest. She was even more stunning than the internet celebrities captured by modern beauty cameras, especially her natural, unadorned, and lotus-like temperament, which was no wonder it left Gu Hanyuan staring in a daze.

Yin Susu seemed to sense Gu Hanyuan's slightly impolite, scrutinizing gaze. Her brows furrowed slightly, but when she turned her head and saw it was just a handsome young Daoist, her mood improved a little. Sure enough, it was a world where looks mattered no matter where one went.

However, being stared at like that for a long time, besides a trace of pride that she still possessed undiminished charm despite her age, she felt more annoyance. Unfortunately, this was not the time to lash out; after all, having spent years being a devoted wife and mother, the ruthlessness and willfulness of her youth had been worn away. Just then, Zhang Sanfeng began to converse with her, so she had no choice but to pretend not to see Gu Hanyuan's gaze.

Although Gu Hanyuan's gaze had been drawn by Yin Susu, he was not so lacking in restraint as to stare for a long time. In fact, if one looked closely, one could see that the focus of his gaze was not on Yin Susu.

It turned out that just a moment ago, Gu Hanyuan had awakened his long-awaited golden finger—the Great Villain System.

This system did not issue various tasks, nor did it have any punishments like erasure. Its settings were very simple: as long as one completed villainous acts, one could obtain evaluations, and the higher the evaluation, the more Villain Points one could obtain.

Villain Points could not only be used to exchange for various existing martial arts and items, directly raising one's cultivation realm, but could also be used to deduce things according to one's requirements, obtaining whatever one desired. Simply put, as long as one had enough Villain Points, it was no different from making a wish; even cultivating to become an immortal in a martial arts world was not a difficult task.

The system even provided a helpful hint: villains and protagonists were on opposite sides, and matters related to the protagonist were more likely to obtain high evaluations.

Gu Hanyuan pondered for a moment and realized the potential for manipulation. The protagonist's opportunities and romantic entanglements all belonged to his prey; they were essentially leeks. Given the protagonist's nature, they would inevitably grow back after being harvested.

Expanding his thinking, it wasn't just the protagonist; supporting characters could also be harvested as leeks, and with proper planning, even the original villains could become his leeks.

Gu Hanyuan's eyes were deep as he decided to replace all the villains and become the ultimate villain.

Looking at Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu in the hall, his thoughts raced.

"Since the protagonist Zhang Wuji is not present right now, I will treat you two as my first test subjects. As the protagonist's parents, you fit the target of a villain in every sense."

Zhang Cuishan was immersed in the joy of reuniting with his master and fellow disciples, but suddenly felt an inexplicable chill down his spine. Yin Susu subconsciously rubbed her arms, leading Zhang Sanfeng and the others to believe they had caught a cold after their long and arduous journey.

Soon, the two were taken to rest, and the others dispersed, though everyone had their own tasks to attend to since Zhang Sanfeng's hundredth birthday was imminent.

Gu Hanyuan discovered that he had actually been brought to this world by the system long ago. It was just that he had experienced the "mystery of the womb," so he hadn't been able to awaken his memories of his past life. Although he was curious about how he had died in his past life, collecting information was more important now.

Gu Hanyuan subtly probed several younger junior brothers and finally understood the situation, while also encountering many surprises.

First, this world was not the *Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber* world he had originally thought, but a Comprehensive Wu Gong World that fused multiple martial arts worlds. There was Qiao Feng, who could strike with the Dragon-Subduing Palm, the couple Guo Jing and Huang Rong who guarded Xiangyang, and even the Iron-Gall God of War Zhu Wushi and the four-browed Lu Xiaofeng who dominated the Jianghu.

Secondly, the area of this world was much larger than the original world, with various countries standing tall and all sorts of place names in disarray. There were three Central Plains dynasties: Song, Ming, and Sui, as well as foreign dynasties including Jin, Qing, Mongol, and Western Xia.

While Gu Hanyuan felt a headache over the chaotic situation, the good news was that the number of leeks he could harvest had suddenly increased.

Besides that, there was the information closely related to himself. Gu Hanyuan was a disciple taken in by Yu Daiyan by chance after he became crippled. However, because Yu Daiyan was already crippled, he was completely indifferent to teaching Gu Hanyuan martial arts. Fortunately, Song Yuanqiao, as the acting Sect Master, made an exception and allowed Gu Hanyuan to watch secret manuals in the library, although he could not take them out.

In the Jianghu, having a master to teach you and not having one were two completely different things. Trying to master martial arts just by holding a manual was a very rare occurrence. The most typical example was Mei Chaofeng, who had forcibly turned the "Bone-Crushing Claw" into the "Nine Yin White Bone Claw." No wonder Gu Hanyuan's original self hadn't cultivated any internal energy.

Because there was no master to test him, and usually no sparring or exchange with fellow disciples, the entire Mount Wudang didn't know how Gu Hanyuan's martial arts were. Although Gu Hanyuan was a bit handsome, he was usually silent and wore the standard disciple's Daoist robe, making him almost invisible.

Having obtained enough information, Gu Hanyuan took the time to pay a visit to his cheap master, Yu Daiyan. As expected, he was paralyzed in bed, looking haggard, and was indifferent to Gu Hanyuan's visit.

After offering a few perfunctory words of concern, he noticed Yu Daiyan's gloomy eyes, clearly harboring worries. It was likely he had already met Zhang Cuishan and his wife and had recognized Yin Susu, who had ambushed him with poison needles all those years ago. However, looking at the calm atmosphere, it seemed he was restraining himself out of brotherly affection and hadn't brought the matter to light yet, but like a suppressed volcano, it would erupt sooner or later.
