Reverse War Surpass Immortal

Duan Gujin returned to the Imperial Mausoleum. He knew it was difficult to determine whether the people sent by the Star Pill Association headquarters were truly colluding with Cao Dingtian.

If they were really in collusion, his situation would become exceedingly challenging.

"The people from the Star Pill Association headquarters are beyond my control. All I can manage now is to focus on enhancing my strength!"

Duan Gujin's eyes flickered for a moment, and he quickly entered a state of seclusion.

When Cao Dingtian heard that the Star Pill Association headquarters were indeed sending experts, he was so excited that he could not sleep that night.

Thinking back on the recent events left him deeply shaken.

"Damn it! I thought if I just followed the original plan, I'd easily become the monarch of Country Gulai. But then Duan Gujin appeared, and everything changed!"

Cao Dingtian despised Duan Gujin immensely.

In his heart, Duan Gujin was like a Cheng Yaojin who had emerged unexpectedly, ruining all his plans!

Though the Star Pill Association headquarters had decided to send someone to investigate the collusion between Duan Gujin and the Demon Cultivators, his subordinates could not detect any strong Demon Qi in the Imperial Mausoleum after days of surveillance.

"What if that Demon Cultivator has left? What should I do?"

Cao Dingtian fell into deep thought.

He surmised that the Demon Cultivator who appeared in the Imperial Mausoleum before and helped Duan Gujin fend off their forces had probably already left.

If that Demon Cultivator really had left and the people from the Star Pill Association could not find him, they might think he was lying.

If the Star Pill Association blamed him, he would be in serious trouble.

He was very clear in his mind that the Star Pill Association was likely his last recourse.

Although he could use assassins from the Assassin Dynasty to try and kill Duan Gujin and Seventh Imperial Uncle, their numerous confrontations showed him that powerful experts surrounded his opponents, and those assassins couldn't easily eliminate Duan Gujin and Seventh Imperial Uncle.

"If the Demon Cultivator from Duan Gujin and Seventh Imperial Uncle's side really has left, then I will frame them!"

After a long contemplation, Cao Dingtian finally thought of a plan.

His eyes sparkled briefly, and moments later, he sent his subordinates to summon three important figures.

The forces of Cao Dingtian and Seventh Imperial Uncle continued their tense standoff in and around the capital, with no immediate actions from either side.

But all their people knew that this was just a temporary ceasefire.

Once the battle started, it would be a fight to the death.

Three days later, Duan Gujin received news that Meng Yun was back.

Upon hearing of Meng Yun's return, Duan Gujin breathed out a sigh of relief.

Meng Yun immediately sought out Duan Gujin and Seventh Imperial Uncle upon her return to the Imperial Mausoleum, declaring her intention to fight against Cao Dingtian with them.

"Don't stop me! If you guys are eliminated by him, then I won't be able to survive alone in Green Cloud Sect. He will definitely use all means to eliminate me. Although Green Cloud Sect seems safe, if Cao Dingtian really intends to destroy the Meng Family, he will surely infiltrate Green Cloud Sect by any means necessary to eliminate me! Unless you are absolutely sure you can protect me, I'll have to stay here and fight with you!"

Meng Yun spoke earnestly.

Seeing Meng Yun's determined eyes, Duan Gujin and Seventh Imperial Uncle knew it would be hard to change her mind.

"Alright then, stay and fight with us! Our battle with Cao Dingtian is going to be a fight for survival!" the Seventh Imperial Uncle solemnly said.

"Yes!"

Meng Yun nodded vigorously.

After Meng Yun left, Seventh Imperial Uncle found Duan Gujin.

"Duan Gujin, if Cao Dingtian really manages to turn the tables on us, please take Meng Yun away no matter what. If she also dies, our Meng Family's territory will fall into the hands of the Cao Family! I cannot accept that! We must ensure Meng Yun's safety! So, please prioritize her safety above all else!"

Seventh Imperial Uncle spoke sincerely.

"Alright! Seventh Imperial Uncle, rest assured, I will protect Meng Yun!"

Duan Gujin nodded strongly in agreement.

Duan Gujin's eyes flickered; he understood what Seventh Imperial Uncle meant—they were now in a desperate situation with Cao Dingtian.

If any side failed, the losing side would likely face catastrophic consequences.

Remembering how the Duan Family was wiped out in his previous life made Duan Gujin despise Cao Dingtian immensely.

"That Cao Dingtian is truly despicable!"

His eyes flickered, and in the end, he could only helplessly exhale a sigh of frustration.

Despite being a person of two lifetimes, he now had no powerful treasures or High-level Spirit Medicine to create High-level Spirit Pills.

"I'm dizzy! I have all these strategies and abilities, but now I'm just like a housewife without rice!"

Duan Gujin massaged his temples, feeling immense pressure.

If possible, he would have preferred to eliminate Cao Dingtian through a sneak attack.

However, after multiple investigations, he found that the Prime Minister's Mansion was heavily guarded, making infiltration impossible.

Unless Seventh Imperial Uncle was willing to sacrifice everything, allowing the numerous generals and soldiers within the Imperial Mausoleum to force their way into the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Only through such chaos could Duan Gujin infiltrate the Prime Minister's Mansion.

This plan was extremely risky, and a slight mistake by Seventh Imperial Uncle and his men could lead to total annihilation.

Naturally, Duan Gujin didn't want to witness such an outcome, so he had to think of another plan.

"We can't just sit here and wait for death, can we?"

Duan Gujin asked Seventh Imperial Uncle.

"Right, we certainly can't, but until now, I can't think of any other plan. We're like fire and water with Cao Dingtian! It won't be long before the Fourteenth Prince ascends the throne! I don't even know what to do when that time comes. If the Fourteenth Prince demands my presence in court, should I go or not?"

Seventh Imperial Uncle suddenly said.

Duan Gujin slightly furrowed his brows and put himself in Seventh Imperial Uncle's shoes, understanding his difficult position.

Fortunately, Seventh Imperial Uncle was a true member of the Imperial Family, and he had previously defeated Cao Dingtian's forces.

Thus, Cao Dingtian had not launched an attack on the soldiers in the Imperial Mausoleum.

But what if Cao Dingtian framed Seventh Imperial Uncle and others?

Duan Gujin knew their situation was truly critical. Any slight misstep could mean their complete downfall right there in the Imperial Mausoleum.

Before Duan Gujin could come up with a plan, a shocking piece of news suddenly spread throughout the capital.

"What? Demon Cultivators appeared outside Chaoyang City, slaughtering the local villagers, killing hundreds. Is that true?"

"Yes, it's true, absolutely certain. Now, Country Gulai is gathering the Dukes to head there."
