Reverse War Surpass Immortal

Seventh Imperial Uncle asked, "So do you think we should strike back?"

After pondering for a moment, Duan Gujin said, "The time isn't right, our current strength is still relatively weak, at most we could only manage a tie with Cao Dingtian!"

"If we delay, perhaps Cao Dingtian will even have reinforcements arriving, which at that point would be extremely disadvantageous for us!"

Seventh Imperial Uncle voiced the worries in his heart.

"I know!"

Duan Gujin also appeared clueless, although they had defeated Cao Dingtian's forces of over 300,000, and vanquished the Corpse Eating Poison Man, Cao Dingtian's power still tightly guarded the Prime Minister's Mansion within the Capital City.

Breaking into the Prime Minister's Mansion would surely lead to heavy losses of troops and generals.

Moreover, Duan Gujin was particularly concerned about Cao Dingtian's military deployments within the Capital City. He believed that Seventh Imperial Uncle's subordinates probably had no clue what other cards Cao Dingtian might still hold.

They absolutely could not sit idly by, yet they mustn't be reckless.

Having thought for a while, Duan Gujin then said, "Since Cao Dingtian can send someone to assassinate me, I can also strike back!"

"That's not a bad idea, but to counter-kill Cao Dingtian amid thousands of troops won't be easy! If you truly decide to do this, you must be extremely careful!"

warned Seventh Imperial Uncle.

"I understand!"

Duan Gujin was elated in his heart, his mind racing as he thought up numerous methods.

He shared all of his plans with Seventh Imperial Uncle and also asked the Seventh Prince to keep them confidential.

Having heard Duan Gujin's plans, Seventh Imperial Uncle promptly nodded, agreeing to keep them secret.

Led by Seventh Imperial Uncle, Duan Gujin then entered the treasure vault within the Imperial Mausoleum belonging to Seventh Imperial Uncle.

He scavenged numerous treasures from the vault, and after finding all the treasures required for his use, his figure flashed, transforming into a shadow, and disappeared into thin air.

After Duan Gujin left, Seventh Imperial Uncle hastened to completely seal off the area he had been in, preventing outsiders from entering.

Furthermore, he proclaimed outwardly that Duan Gujin was now in seclusion, others must not disturb him.

Any who dared to break into that space, once caught, would be executed immediately.

Once this order from Seventh Imperial Uncle spread throughout the military ranks, all the generals and soldiers within the Imperial Mausoleum believed that Duan Gujin was truly in seclusion there.

Meanwhile, on the other hand, Duan Gujin secretly infiltrated the Capital City of Country Gulai.

He did not act immediately but lay in hiding near the Prime Minister's residence, observing the surroundings.

After ensuring the situation was clear, at night, he set up a Fourth-rank Killing Array in a vast forest near the Prime Minister's Mansion.

For the Array Masters of Country Gulai, the Array he set up now was tremendously powerful.

Even if Country Gulai's top Array Masters were to enter, their fate would only be death.

Duan Gujin set up this Killing Array here to gradually weaken the power of the Prime Minister.

Using some materials he found in the Imperial Mausoleum, Duan Gujin arranged the Star-Roaming Killing Array within the forest.

The essential core for arranging such a Killing Array were the Beast Cores located inside Demon Beast skulls.

These Beast Cores mainly came from materials Duan Gujin found previously within the Death Column.

Relative to the Lost Illusion Array, the area covered by the Star-Roaming Killing Array was quite small, fitting only for small-scale annihilation of enemies, not like the Illusion Array that could cause a multitude of enemies to hallucinate and eventually kill each other off.

After inspecting the Star-Roaming Killing Array to ensure there were no issues, Duan Gujin then rushed into a nearby military camp.

He deliberately alarmed the soldiers there, leading them to pursue him.

As those soldiers broke into the Star-Roaming Killing Array, he decisively activated the Killing Array.

In less than the time it takes for ten breaths, all the soldiers who entered the Killing Array were wiped out.

Divine Sense projecting outward, Duan Gujin quickly assessed that roughly three hundred soldiers had died within the Star-Roaming Killing Array.

Although compared to Cao Dingtian's numerous followers, he had only eliminated a very small portion, not even one percent of the enemy soldiers' total count.

But killing these ordinary soldiers was not Duan Gujin's true intent; his real aim was to instigate panic among Prime Minister Cao's subordinates.

He wanted Cao Dingtian's followers to live in fear, which would severely weaken their strength and make them question their allegiance to Cao Dingtian.

Indeed, just as Duan Gujin had planned, the sudden death of those three hundred or so soldiers did indeed cause panic in their camp.

But the matter was quickly suppressed by those above, so soldiers from other camps did not know that last night, more than three hundred soldiers had suddenly died.

Duan Gujin knew that merely losing three hundred soldiers was not enough to cause significant panic among Cao Dingtian's minions.

So, the next night, he hastily arranged more than ten Star-Roaming Killing Arrays around the Prime Minister's Mansion.

That night, nearly a thousand soldiers died horribly within the Killing Arrays.

After the previous night's events, the military officers of the camps refrained from deploying large numbers of soldiers to search for suspicious targets, fearing to fall into enemy Killing Arrays.

Nonetheless, despite their precautions, the indefensible Killing Arrays arranged by Duan Gujin still caused over a thousand soldiers their lives.

As he saw the number of soldiers dying in the Killing Arrays dwindle, he knew the camp officers must have figured out a way to deal with the Killing Arrays.

Now without sufficient materials to arrange more Star-Roaming Killing Arrays, he gave up this method of harassing Cao Dingtian's followers.

Meanwhile, within the Prime Minister's Mansion, the generals protecting the premises were expressing their outrage to Prime Minister Cao.

"Prime Minister Cao, our enemy has already sent an assassin into the Capital City, we must find a way to locate this assassin!"

"Yes! Yes! Yes!"

All the generals present quickly nodded in agreement.

"Everyone, please remain calm!"

Cao Dingtian first calmed everyone down, then he discussed countermeasures with them to see if there was any way to deal with the assassin who had infiltrated the city.

However, they discussed for a while without any result.

Firstly, they did not know where the assassin was hiding; they also did not know how strong the assassin actually was, and they were even less likely to know what the assassin's face looked like.

They knew that trying to find the assassin in the Capital City was like searching for a needle in a haystack, and the difficulty was unimaginable.

After the generals retreated, Cao Dingtian quickly dispatched his men to invite master assassins from the Assassin Dynasty with a heavy reward.

He did not know that the Corpse Eating Poison Man he had previously invited not only failed to kill Duan Gujin but had instead presented a gift to the enemy.

Had he heard the news, he would likely be filled with profound regret.
