In the martial arts world, he threatens Yin Susu from the start.

Gu Hanyuan followed the crowd to the outside of the hall and looked at the first small leek.

Zhang Wuji was fourteen or fifteen years old. He had a handsome, boyish appearance and looked very much like Zhang Cuishan, but a bit more gentle. Although he was still young and had not yet fully grown up, he had inherited the good looks from his parents.

As for Wutian, he had already fled the Wudang Sect when Zhang Sanfeng made his move.

The puppet master Wutian has already achieved his goal, so there's no point in keeping him around any longer. Besides, the basic puppet technique has a limited lifespan, so it's best to get out of everyone's sight as soon as possible.

Wutian made his appearance, establishing his presence. He used a counterfeit Dragon-Slaying Saber to resolve Zhang Cuishan's crisis of being interrogated by various sects and fulfilled his promise to Yin Susu. Incidentally, he also brought out the Xuanming Elders.

As long as the Xuanming Elders appear, Zhang Sanfeng will surely save Zhang Wuji. In addition, he is busy treating the cold poison, so there is no need to worry about him stopping Wutian.

It can be said that all the plans were completed according to Gu Hanyuan's plan.

As for his confrontation with Kong Wen for the sake of Yin Susu, and later his fight with Kong Zhi, although it was an unexpected situation, the result was still good.

Gu Hanyuan used Kong Zhi to boost his reputation and showcase his talent. From now on, he can openly roam the martial world as a Wudang disciple, and perhaps even earn a title like the number one disciple of the third generation of Wudang.

Although the villain points I earned have been spent, they weren't part of my original plan, so it was a pleasant surprise. I now have 470 villain points left.

Looking at Zhang Wuji, who was receiving healing from Zhang Sanfeng, Gu Hanyuan felt that he could collect another wave of villainous points from Yin Susu.

Many people from various sects have gone to pursue Wutian, but apart from a few grandmasters, he poses no threat.

Unfortunately, none of the masters present were skilled in light-body techniques.

With his familiarity with the terrain, Wutian easily left them far behind.

Not long after, Kong Wen, Abbess Miejue, and other grandmasters returned to Zixiao Palace with the people who had gone to pursue Wutian.

At this moment, only Song Yuanqiao was still entertaining people from various sects in the main hall. The other elders and the Seven Heroes had all gone to the backyard to help Zhang Sanfeng treat Zhang Wuji's injuries.

Kong Wen visibly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Gu Hanyuan was still in the main hall, and wanted to resolve the misunderstanding caused by Kong Zhi.

The whereabouts of the Dragon-Slaying Saber are known, and since Wutian killed Xie Xun, there's no point in searching for him anymore. Today's objective of attacking the Wudang Sect failed, and we've even been caught red-handed – a classic case of trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead. As for the Longmen Escort Agency, it's utterly insignificant.

At this moment, Kong Wen only wanted to find Gu Hanyuan to stop the damage in time, otherwise, if today's events got out, there would be no shortage of trouble.

Based on previous events, Kong Wen also realized that Gu Hanyuan was the type of person who wouldn't act until he saw a clear benefit, so he simply went straight to the point.

"Amitabha. Young Master Gu, I hope you will forgive me for my previous offenses. From now on, the Northern Shaolin Temple is willing to owe you a favor. As long as it does not violate the code of the martial world and the rules of the sect, we will grant your request."

Kong Wen showed great sincerity; it was unprecedented for the prestigious Northern Shaolin Temple to owe a favor to a third-generation disciple.

Although many restrictions were added later, it's probably useless to ask them for help if you really have a problem.

But Gu Hanyuan wasn't concerned about how to repay this favor; rather, he was concerned that as long as the favor existed and spread from today onwards, it would bring him great fame.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Gu Hanyuan didn't press on. Besides, Wudang had sent people to the backyard to rescue Zhang Wuji, so no one could lend him any more leverage. It was better to stop while he was ahead.

"Master Kongwen is indeed wise and reasonable. I was young and impetuous and said many things that were inappropriate. Please do not take offense. I will definitely visit the Northern Shaolin Temple when I have the opportunity in the future."

Seeing that Gu Hanyuan had given him a way out, Kong Wen nodded in satisfaction and bowed again.

"Amitabha, Young Hero Gu is indeed a man of great righteousness."

Then Kong Wen bid farewell to Song Yuanqiao, saying that since the reputation problem of the Northern Shaolin Temple had been resolved, there was no point in staying any longer. It would be better to return to the Northern Shaolin Temple as soon as possible and arrange for people to search for Wutian's whereabouts.

After exchanging a few perfunctory polite words, Kong Wen left with his men.

Afterwards, the leaders of the various sects took their leave with their disciples.

Did they really expect the Wudang Sect to leave food for these unwelcome guests?

Before long, the once bustling crowd in the main hall had completely dispersed, leaving only Shangguan Haitang.

She walked up to Gu Hanyuan, looked him over for a moment, and upon closer inspection, found that he was even more handsome than before.

“Brother Gu, I am Shangguan Haitang. Today, Brother Gu’s words overwhelmed the Northern Shaolin and your sword wounded Master Kongzhi, leaving me in awe.”

Gu Hanyuan felt much happier after seeing Shangguan Haitang's delicate face; Kong Wen's old face was really disgusting to look at for too long.

"I naturally know Shangguan Haitang, the master of the number one manor in the world. He is even more dashing and elegant than the rumors say. Just seeing Brother Shangguan is a pleasure. If you have time, why not stay in Wudang for a few more days? I will also give Brother Shangguan a proper welcome."

Upon hearing Gu Hanyuan's words, Shangguan Haitang smiled radiantly, her beauty almost revealing the truth that she was disguised as a man.

Although she was somewhat tempted, she still needed to return to the capital to report today's events to Zhu Wushi, the Iron-Blooded Marquis. Today's commotion was so great; both Gu Hanyuan's sudden emergence and the mysterious Wutian's appearance would cause a sensation in the martial arts world, so she needed to prepare early.

"Shangguan also feels an instant connection with Brother Gu. Unfortunately, I have important business to attend to and must return to the capital as soon as possible, so I cannot stay any longer. If Brother Gu comes to the capital in the future, you must come to the Number One Manor in the World to find me. We will drink until we drop."

"That's a real shame. Once I'm down the mountain, I'll definitely make a trip to the capital, and then we can drink and chat some more. I'll see Brother Shangguan off on his way."

Gu Hanyuan had reservations about Shangguan Haitang's statement that they would not leave until they were drunk, and he was not afraid that his identity as a woman disguised as a man would be exposed.

"Brother Gu, there's no need to see me off. We'll meet again someday. Farewell, Master Song."

After greeting Song Yuanqiao, Shangguan Haitang left Wudang swiftly and decisively.

Chapter 14: Treatment of Cold Poison, Everyone is Optimistic

The celebration of Zhang Sanfeng's 100th birthday was thus concluded. Although it wasn't perfect due to Zhang Wuji, Song Yuanqiao was quite satisfied.

He smiled broadly at Gu Hanyuan and said:

"Han Yuan, I never expected you to break through to the Innate Realm so quietly. My third brother has been crippled for many years and hasn't been able to take good care of you, his junior brother. If you have any questions about martial arts or life in the future, you can always ask us, your senior uncles and aunts, for advice. As for what happened today, you did very well. If you ever travel the martial world in the future, remember not to tarnish the reputation of our Wudang Sect."

"Han Yuan was able to break through to the Innate Realm thanks to my Grand Master Uncle who made an exception and granted me access to the library. Otherwise, Han Yuan wouldn't be where he is today."

Gu Hanyuan naturally understood Song Yuanqiao's meaning; he was worried that Song Yuanqiao lacked a sense of belonging to the Wudang Sect, which was why he specifically gave him this instruction.

In truth, Gu Hanyuan didn't care about this. After all, he had only been in this world for a few days, and the original owner of this body was a quiet and unassuming nobody. As for expecting a modern person to have a sense of belonging to a sect, that was pure nonsense.

Of course, he was quite satisfied with his status as a disciple of the Wudang Sect. The Wudang Sect was very powerful in this world, and being able to leverage its influence was enough.

Song Yuanqiao nodded in satisfaction. He had always liked his humble and polite disciples.

Moreover, Gu Hanyuan has extremely high talent and is the future of the Wudang Sect, which makes him even more likable.

As for Song Qingshu losing his position as the number one young disciple of Wudang, he never cared about it.

"Han Yuan, why don't you come with me to see how Wu Ji is doing?"

“Yes, Senior Uncle. Han Yuan is also a little worried about Junior Brother Wuji’s condition.”

That's obviously nonsense. If nothing unexpected happens, Zhang Wuji definitely won't die, and he'll most likely suffer from the cold poison anyway. The main thing is to see Yin Susu and try to get some more villain points tonight. I plan to leave Wudang Mountain in a while; my martial arts skills are still lacking.

On the way to the backyard, the system unexpectedly gave me another evaluation. This time, however, it was an evaluation of the entire 100th birthday celebration event. SS-level evaluation, 5000 villain points.

Saving Zhang Cuishan seems to benefit Zhang Wuji on the surface; however, while Zhang Cuishan is loyal and righteous, he is somewhat pedantic. At the very least, he would absolutely not agree to Zhang Wuji becoming the leader of the Ming Cult.

Although Yin Susu also survived, her relationship with Gu Hanyuan was like planting a time bomb.

Gu Hanyuan gained reputation points, and the counterfeit Dragon Slayer Saber even fooled the world.

The only real drawback might be that it upheld the prestige of the Wudang Sect.

Getting the lowest level SS rating is reasonable.

Major events are indeed highly rewarding, and there is even more anticipation for the upcoming siege of Bright Peak by the six major sects.

For example, if the six major sects and the Ming Cult were all wiped out at Bright Peak, I wonder if it would get an SSS-level rating?

The two quickly arrived at the backyard.

The elders of the various sects and the Seven Heroes were all waiting outside a side room.

When everyone saw Song Yuanqiao and Gu Hanyuan, they all came over to greet them.

They were especially curious about Gu Hanyuan, who had quietly broken through to the Innate Realm and made a stunning debut today.

Master Chongxu of Zhenwu Temple, Master Yucha of Baiyun Temple, Master Tianxu of Shangqing Temple, and Master Mazhen of Yuxu Temple were all quite friendly to Gu Hanyuan, mostly encouraging him or hoping that he could exchange martial arts techniques with their younger disciples.

Although Mu Daoren appeared kind and friendly on the surface, Gu Hanyuan could clearly sense the apprehension in his eyes. He was probably worried that Gu Hanyuan's rapid growth would affect his future plans.

Most of the Seven Heroes of Wudang had met Gu Hanyuan before, and although they did not realize his extraordinary abilities at the time, they were all happy for him.

Mo Shenggu, the youngest among them, had the strongest liking for Gu Hanyuan, patting him on the shoulder and praising him incessantly.

After all, Mo Shenggu is a very passionate person, and he was already full of anger when various sects came to his door to coerce him today.

Later, when I saw Gu Hanyuan angrily confront Kong Wen, it was as refreshing as drinking a bottle of ice on a hot day.

Although Zhang Cuishan was worried about Zhang Wuji, he still offered a few words of encouragement without much substance.

Gu Hanyuan looked at Zhang Cuishan, feeling a little strange, but fortunately he didn't show it on his face and remained humble and polite.

Yin Susu, who was standing to the side, felt incredibly awkward and uncomfortable when she saw Zhang Cuishan and Gu Hanyuan talking.

Especially when Yin Susu saw Gu Hanyuan giving her a meaningful look over Zhang Cuishan, her heart skipped a beat. Fortunately, Gu Hanyuan didn't approach her to talk to her, which relieved her.

It took Yin Susu a while to process Gu Hanyuan's suggestive look. After thinking about it for a long time, she realized that he probably wanted to have a private conversation with her.

Actually, she also had many questions for Gu Hanyuan.

Yin Susu subconsciously felt that Gu Hanyuan and Wutian might be related, otherwise why would he come to her door today by chance, bringing news of Xie Xun and the Dragon-Slaying Saber?

If it weren't for Wutian, even if Gu Hanyuan were to argue today, it would at most cause a bloody battle between the Wudang Sect and the other major sects.

Even if we get through today, there will be plenty of trouble to come.

On the contrary, thanks to Wutian, Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu's troubles disappeared all at once.

If it weren't for Zhang Wuji's influence, Yin Susu would have really wanted to find an opportunity to thank him.

After waiting outside for an hour, the door was finally opened.

After Zhang Sanfeng walked out the door, everyone gathered around him, asking about Zhang Wuji's condition.
