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.
"So? You are a Yuanjing-trained young master, you might be a better swordsman than I," Wuyi said.
Guan shook his head. "No, it's not about being a swordsman, it's about the power. He is a Qi master. And I feel you are stronger, so most probably your cultivation is higher. I stood no chance."
Wuyi shrugged. "Fine. The way you fought the demonics, I think you are a great warrior."
"That Li Xian imagines himself to be the very best warrior in all of the empire and continent," Guan said.
"Really?" Wuyi said. "How very dangerous."
Guan snorted. "You find that amusing."
"I have a serious side, you know," Wuyi said.
"I never thought I'd be able to chuckle while I told this. He was in Qi armour—I was not." Guan sighed
Wuyi nodded. "He would be, being a foreigner. I have heard some of them don't hold the same noble traditions. They take themselves very seriously."
