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.
Jia, the poor attendant, timidly approached. "Young Master, forgive me, but should we be worried about facing an army of Demonics in the wild?"
Yun Ming and Baijian exchanged glances. "Our Young Jia might be overwhelmed; he's been acting a bit—let's say, 'off-balance'—lately," Yun Ming whispered.
"Maybe drunk or crazy," Baijian agreed, only half-joking.
The assembly came to an end as they mounted their horses and rode into the dense woods. Qi warriors and archers followed, some young Qi initiates eager for battle mixed in.
Now more familiar with the terrain, it did not take them long to arrive at their first designated stop. With the arrival at the designated location, some archers spread out, setting up for an ambush.
Wuyi was alert, the Statue of Harmony kept giving him feedback. Once the first batch of archers had spread out, they began moving deeper. The archers were their defense in case they had to retreat hastily and needed to buy some time.
