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.
"Quitting so soon? You won't get far in cultivation with that attitude," Wuyi chided. He picked up a mysterious Black Bamboo stick, its purpose still unknown to him, though he suspected it might contain a trace of demonic Qi.
"You've got around forty-five frontline Qi initiate warriors, sixteen capable Qi adept warriors, three Qi masters, and one sturdy, albeit old, fortress on strategic land. Your task is to defend a river crossing, a bridge, a stream of frightened traders, and a vulnerable Lower Town with subpar walls. What's your strategy? If it's good, I'll take credit for it and implement it. There are wrong answers, but no single right one. A good plan keeps you alive and earns you some gold. A bad plan means death for you and many innocent lives, including some Lotus Pavilion disciples and local farmers." Wuyi looked at him intently. "Let's hear it."
Jia stroked his chin, mimicking Wuyi's gesture. "Assuming we're fully stocked and prepared?"
Wuyi nodded.
