The World of Immortal Martial Arts
I woke up to a loud noise, startled. For a moment, I thought I was on a movie set. I tried to calm myself, but suddenly a flood of memories poured into my mind.
That's when I realized—I was inside the body of a young man named Qing Li Same name as me .
Worse… I was in the body of a third-rate villain, nothing more than cannon fodder destined to be crushed by the protagonist.
Standing before me was a young man with blue eyes, staring at me with resentment. According to the memories I had just inherited, he had become crippled—his dantian destroyed.
And the reason?
My grandfather.
He had plotted against him, giving him a poisoned cultivation pill…
It seemed I had inherited a deadly grudge with the protagonist.
After understanding the situation, I closed my eyes—and then I heard a voice.
(System): Ding!
A screen appeared before me.

So… I had transmigrated into a villainous family that would be crushed early in the protagonist's rise.
Chu Feng was originally destined to become an inner disciple of the Seven Peaks Sect, but he had been demoted and expelled.
Recognizing the typical protagonist scenario, I walked toward him. Around us, the disciples whispered:
"He's finished."
Some were influenced by the protagonist's aura—like Wang Xin and Lin Fan, his friends—who tried to stop me in a friendly manner.
But I continued forward.
The disciples whispered again, "He's going to beat him so badly his own mother won't recognize him."
But I didn't strike him.
Instead, I placed my hand on him and said,
"There are cases where a dantian can be restored. That means you still have a chance to return to the path of cultivation."
Wang Xin and Lin Fan were overjoyed.
Chu Feng, however, was stunned.
Has he become a good person? he wondered.
Then he immediately rejected the thought.
Impossible. He wants to humiliate me.
One disciple sneered, "I know Senior Brother Qing Li wants to keep him alive so he can torture him slowly."
Wang Xin and Lin Fan trembled.
Chu Feng clenched his fists. I knew it. He's still a bastard.
I said calmly,
"Junior Brother Chu Feng, I truly want to help you. Don't listen to their nonsense."
From my ring, I took out two top-grade Spiritual Energy Refining Pills.
The disciples were shocked.
I handed them to Wang Xin and Lin Fan.
They were stunned, thinking, This is an opportunity—we can't miss it.
They accepted the pills and stepped aside.
I looked at Chu Feng.
"I can help you."
He replied, "Thank you, Senior Brother… but I want to leave the sect."
I nodded.
"I'll let you go. But you must withstand one strike from me."
Chu Feng cursed inwardly, You bastard! I'm crippled—how do you expect me to endure your attack?
But in the end, he accepted.
He braced himself.
I struck him.
He was sent flying, coughing up blood.
The disciples were shocked—because I hadn't used my spiritual energy at all.
I simply let him crawl out of the sect gate.
After everyone left, system notifications flooded in:
You altered the storyline → +100 Evil Points
You caused the protagonist's friends to abandon him → +100 Evil Points
You humiliated the protagonist → +300 Evil Points
You struck the protagonist → +200 Evil Points
Qing Li enjoyed the notifications. He now had 500 points—halfway to unlocking the system store.
Afterward, he returned to his residence, surrounded by rune formations. It was beautiful and far larger than the homes of ordinary disciples—befitting his status as a elite disciple.
Meanwhile, Chu Feng descended the mountain.
"If I hadn't been poisoned… I would have reached the Saint Realm…"
He sighed.
"Now I'm nothing but a cripple without a dantian."
Suddenly, lightning struck him.
"Am I going to die like this…?"
But then—
His memories merged with something inside his body.
A divine sword.
Its rank had fallen to the Emperor Realm, but it was sealed.
This sword could devour ordinary and spiritual swords, refine them, and convert them into Qi energy.
It began repairing Chu Feng's dantian.
His cultivation started to recover.
Hope returned to his eyes as he smiled.
"I will come back… and take revenge."
He then headed toward Sacred Flower City.
Upon arriving, he met a young woman who asked,
"Are you an alchemist?"—she had smelled medicinal herbs on him.
"Yes," he replied.
She smiled.
"We have rooms available. Ten gold coins per night."
"I'll take one for a week."
He handed her seventy gold coins.
He immediately began cultivating, recovering his strength until he reached the Internal Energy Gathering stage.
"I'll stay here until I recover… then head to Beast Mountain to train and gather herbs."
Later, Liu Ying—his former lover—approached me.
"Senior Brother Qing, you're so kind," she said, trying to flatter me.
I ignored her and went to search for Chu Feng—but he was gone.
I spread my spiritual sense, but found nothing.
I hadn't expected him to escape so quickly.
Then my servant, Li Zhang, approached me.
"Young Master, the inner sect competition will begin in a week. If you don't participate, you will lose your qualification as an inner disciple."
I didn't care.
Finding Chu Feng was more important.
"Bring me something that belonged to him," I ordered. "Clothes, anything."
"Why?" he asked.
"Just bring it."
He returned with Chu Feng's jade token.
Using a tracking spell, I located him.
Sacred Flower City.
Li Zhang asked, "Should we send disciples to capture him?"
I sneered inwardly.
What, and give him free opportunities like in those cliché stories?
(System): Ding! +200 Evil Points (Story slightly altered)
I smirked.
"Looks like I've changed the plot a bit."
Soon after, I headed to Sacred Flower City with Li Zhang.
We asked around, and an old man said he had seen Chu Feng at the Drunken Immortal Inn.
I spread my spiritual energy across the inn and found him—despite the many concealment formations.
But that wasn't enough to stop me.
