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 collected a group of warriors and headed down the slope towards lower town. There were two routes—the stone path, which wound in multiple cutbacks down the face of the ridge, and the gravel path, which went straight down the spine of the ridge and had two sets of stairs. Several portions of the path were walled and covered to protect parties going to the Lower Town but, of course, you couldn't take a horse down the path.
Wuyi's group took the gravel path anyway, their feet wrapped in rags to be as noiseless as possible. Given the enemy's dominance of the plain below them, Wuyi put out scouts to either side of their route – Qingyu Xie and Wuxue Pan were moving carefully down the bare rock.
