His ultimate goal isn't power or conquest, but absolute freedom — liberation from death, from the control of powerful lords, and from the confines of this world. Meet Wuyi, formerly a gangster's accountant, now reborn in a world torn between the Righteous and the Demonics. Gifted with a unique ability by the gods of his previous life, Wuyi possesses an exceptional edge in this new realm. While Wuyi yearns for a peaceful life, he's not afraid to become the villain that this world might need. Determined to secure his freedom, he's prepared to upheave this world, paying no heed to its moral divides. He will not rest until he attains the deepest desire of his soul.
Wuyi, dressed in luxurious black robes, acted as a proper noble. Nobles seldom carried their weapons or armor themselves until they were engaged in battle.
It was a grand display when they arrived inside the fort, and Wuyi noticed many faces peering from every window and doorway around the courtyard.
A tall female elder, dressed in a slate-grey robe similar to that of the deceased elder, reached for Wuyi's horse's reins. Another female elder gestured for him to follow. Neither spoke.
Wuyi was pleased to see Jia dismount gracefully despite the rain and take Haruki's reins without physically shoving the female elder aside.
He nodded at the female elder of the Lotus Blossom Pavilion and followed her across the courtyard toward an intricately designed door adorned with ornate ironwork and elaborate wooden panels.
