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 nodded at his beastmaster. These debates and interactions with Jin were the reasons why Wuyi valued this beastmaster so much. Unlike Yun Ming, who was inconsiderate and direct, Jin comparably had more intellect and empathy.
"You possess considerable mystical knowledge," Wuyi acknowledged.
Jin shook his head, his eyes scanning the forest. "I sense we've disrupted some equilibrium by coming here," he said, disregarding the praise.
"All the more reason to press on," Wuyi declared. "We're not in the business of hunting demonic beast or cultivators, Jin. We want to hunt the beast that killed the elder. I took payment for that."
Jin hesitated. "Young Master," he began, then looked away. "You possess your own mystical arts, don't you?"
Wuyi sighed. He knew what Jin was asking about. He was asking if Wuyi cultivated any Qi that is frowned upon, for example, his shadow Qi. He was being subtle about it, calling it mystical arts instead of demonic Qi.
