Reverse War Surpass Immortal

Duan Gujin rushed to consult with Seventh Imperial Uncle upon hearing the news.

Seventh Imperial Uncle said, "Right now, people outside are spreading rumors that Demon Cultivators have appeared in Country Gulai, and are slaughtering villagers on a large scale. As for the truth, we'll know when the spies I sent out report back."

Duan Gujin's eyes twinkled and he said, "Seventh Imperial Uncle, how about this—I'll go and investigate."

"That works, make it a quick round trip!"

Seventh Imperial Uncle didn't hinder him.

After bidding farewell to Seventh Imperial Uncle, Duan Gujin used his extreme speed and headed towards the outskirts of Chaoyang City.

Chaoyang City was not far from the Capital City, so he arrived at the outskirts of Chaoyang City in less than an hour.

"Demon Cultivators appearing here in Country Gulai? Hahaha! It's clear that Cao Dingtian is setting me up!"

On his way, Duan Gujin thought so in his heart.

Although he had no evidence directly linking Cao Dingtian to the slaughter of those villagers, he knew well that he was currently in a standoff with Cao Dingtian, who had also previously released a terrifying Demon aura.

If Cao Dingtian wanted to eliminate him, and with the Star Pill Association also sending experts to enter Country Gulai, it was very possible for Cao Dingtian to frame him.

Upon reaching the outskirts of Chaoyang City, he saw many soldiers gathered together.

After some investigation, he learned that those soldiers had arranged over a thousand corpses for public viewing.

He cautiously approached the soldiers, extending his Divine Sense.

Soon enough, he did indeed see over a thousand bodies laid out on an open space ahead.

After observing for a while, he confirmed that the bodies were all recently deceased, with most having died in a horrifying manner, certainly not of natural causes.

"Damn it! This is clearly a set-up!"

Duan Gujin was furious in his heart, to him, Cao Dingtian had completely lost his humanity.

"If I continue to stand off with him, who knows how many more innocent people in Country Gulai will suffer. I must fight quickly and decisively!"

Duan Gujin's gaze was focused, and he released his Divine Sense, hoping to find some valuable clues at the site.

But to his disappointment, after a diligent search, he found nothing at all.

"Since Cao Dingtian is intent on framing me—and even wants to frame the experts from the Star Pill Association—he definitely wouldn't leave any trace behind!"

Duan Gujin then gave up on searching for clues nearby, realizing that Cao Dingtian would unlikely leave anything useful close to this area that he could find.

He didn't know Cao Dingtian well, but the Seventh Imperial Uncle had told him enough; he knew that his opponent was a crafty and deeply calculative schemer.

So, he felt certain that Cao Dingtian would not have left any trace here.

"It seems he's planning to wait here for the people from the Star Pill Association!"

Duan Gujin took a deep breath, aware of Cao Dingtian's plot but powerless to stop it.

"Since he can frame me, I can't just sit here and wait for doom!"

Duan Gujin's eyes flickered; he pondered for a long while before finally abandoning the idea of framing Cao Dingtian in return.

Cao Dingtian could use the lives of numerous innocents to frame him, but he definitely wouldn't massacre innocent people to achieve his goals.

"Cao Dingtian and Cao Wentian have been holed up inside the Prime Minister's Mansion and not coming out. Is there really nothing I can do about them?"

Duan Gujin gritted his teeth and thought of a plan.

Although the plan was risky, if he wanted to make a strong counterattack, this method would be relatively secure.

Upon returning to the Imperial Mausoleum, he once again entered the Imperial Mausoleum Treasure Vault and searched inside the mausoleum for Refining Materials.

Seeing Duan Gujin's actions, the Seventh Imperial Uncle was filled with curiosity.

"Duan Gujin, have you already thought of a solution?"

"I suppose so, I must launch a desperate counterattack!"

Duan Gujin knew that he must act without delay, for if he didn't counterattack desperately, Cao Dingtian would keep causing more trouble to deal with him.

If Cao Dingtian successfully framed him and the Seventh Imperial Uncle, the Duan Family would be in even greater danger.

He decided to stake everything on a counterattack!

He was determined to prevent Cao Dingtian from having any opportunity to set him up.

"Yes! Yes! This time we really must counterattack desperately!"

The Seventh Imperial Uncle agreed with Duan Gujin, deducing from the intelligence currently in hand what Cao Dingtian was planning to do next.

Their current standoff with Cao Dingtian was already evenly matched.

If at this time the powerful Star Pill Association joined Cao Dingtian's side, it would undoubtedly lead to a collapse of their army's morale.

Moreover, if Cao Dingtian's framing was successful, their situation would become extremely perilous.

Thus, Duan Gujin and the Seventh Imperial Uncle decided to launch a desperate counterattack.

Then, the two of them discussed their plans in a secret chamber.

"The biggest problem is how to lure out Cao Dingtian! If we can draw him out, the Sun-shooting War Chariot will have the opportunity to shoot him down!"

Duan Gujin stated.

Upon hearing Duan Gujin's words, the Seventh Imperial Uncle pondered for a long while before finally saying: "Let's do this! I'll directly gather all the generals and soldiers from within the Imperial Mausoleum and put up a posture as if we are going all out against him. If he comes out, you can use the Sun-shooting War Chariot to attack him! If he doesn't, then you can use your great bell to bombard those guards!"

Returning to his quarters, Duan Gujin urgently funneled Primordial Power into the Sun-shooting War Chariot, ensuring it was in peak condition.

After confirming there were no issues with the Sun-shooting War Chariot, he then channeled Primordial Power into the Heavenly Emperor Bell, meticulously examining it.

Once sure he could control the Heavenly Emperor Bell, he stored it back in his storage ring.

He exhaled deeply, his mind racing as he contemplated the imminent confrontation in two days.

He and the Seventh Imperial Uncle had decided to launch a fierce offensive against Cao Dingtian in two days.

They couldn't keep taking hits passively; they had to go on the offensive.

"Owning Demon Way Weapons and practicing Demon Techniques are two different concepts. If I don't release the Demonized Martial Soul and let the Star Pill Association members know, ordinary people will have a hard time discovering that I have a Demonized Martial Soul within me!"

Duan Gujin weighed all the advantages and disadvantages before deciding to launch a fierce attack against Cao Dingtian.

All of the generals and soldiers within the Imperial Mausoleum had a good day of adjustment, and on the next day, the Seventh Imperial Uncle commanded all generals and soldiers to leave the Imperial Mausoleum and rush towards the Capital City.

Before departing, the Seventh Imperial Uncle merely told everyone to rest well, without revealing the truth.

The Seventh Imperial Uncle realized that Cao Dingtian must've planted many spies amongst his ranks.

Since they were launching a desperate counterattack, they needed to attack suddenly, catching Cao Dingtian off guard.

He and Duan Gujin knew that such a sneak attack was unlikely to succeed, but what they were seeking was not to ambush, rather to force Cao Dingtian out.

"As long as we can force him out, we will have won half the battle!"

Duan Gujin took a deep breath, knowing that he and the Seventh Imperial Uncle could not afford to fail in this operation.

If they failed, they would have no choice but to flee the Capital City in a sorry state.

Although the Seventh Imperial Uncle had already made arrangements to flee the Capital City, such an outcome was definitely not what Duan Gujin wished to see.
