Reverse War Surpass Immortal

Duan Gujin remembered so clearly the birthplace of Wang Haisheng because the name of the town where that great traitor was born was the same as the Country Gulai.

Therefore, he made a particular note of the birthplace of Wang Haisheng.

Upon further thought, he realized that if he could have eliminated Wang Haisheng earlier, the younger generation of the Green Cloud Sect would not have fallen victim to the traitor.

Originally, it was said that the young generation of the Green Cloud Sect was placed in some secretive location. If they were not discovered, they might have been able to avoid that calamity.

But due to Wang Haisheng's betrayal, all those youngsters were tragically killed.

"I must eliminate the traitor Wang Haisheng!"

Remembering this name, a cold light flashed in Duan Gujin's eyes.

Thus, Duan Gujin felt that his top priority was to rush to Gulai Town immediately, find Wang Haisheng, and kill him early to prevent future troubles.

As long as he killed Wang Haisheng, the young experts of the Green Cloud Sect would not suffer such a massacre.

"That's right! I should eliminate this traitor first!"

Duan Gujin took a deep breath. Knowing that the enemy was in Gulai Town, he could not just stand idly by.

So, he immediately asked for leave from the Seventh Imperial Uncle; he needed to hurry to Gulai Town to kill Wang Haisheng.

The Seventh Imperial Uncle originally planned to arrange for two experts to accompany Duan Gujin, but Duan Gujin declined.

Duan Gujin felt that with his current strength, he should be able to kill Wang Haisheng; he did not need the help of two experts to kill the traitor of the Green Cloud Sect.

"I swore back then that I would personally take revenge upon my enemies!"

Duan Gujin requested the fastest horse from the Seventh Imperial Uncle, and then he hastened towards Gulai Town.

Three days later, he arrived in Gulai Town, following the map given by the Seventh Imperial Uncle.

Gulai Town was a small village, and it had taken him a considerable amount of time to get there.

Upon entering Gulai Town, he found ruins and broken walls everywhere. Not a single house was intact.

Moreover, there were signs of a fire throughout the village. He surmised that a great fire had recently occurred here, one that had burned the entire town of Gulai.

"What happened here?"

His expression shifted slightly. After making a round in Gulai Town and confirming that indeed no one was there, he went to the neighboring village to ask the people there.

The people in the neighboring village told Duan Gujin that the residents of Gulai Town had been slaughtered overnight by horse bandits, all of them dying tragically.

"Everyone died tragically? What exactly happened?"

Duan Gujin drew in a sharp breath, searching his previous memories carefully.

After a while, he felt that his memory should not be wrong.

After entering the Green Cloud Sect, he had studied very hard; he knew there was someone named Wang Haisheng in the neighboring class.

Although they had never met, he had heard of Wang Haisheng's reputation for being extremely diligent in his studies.

"Could it be that he has already been discovered by the people of the Green Cloud Sect, or maybe he has already entered the Green Cloud Sect ahead of time?"

Duan Gujin frowned deeply. He had thought that once he entered Gulai Town and found Wang Haisheng, killing the man would be straightforward.

However, the development of events was completely outside of his prior expectations. He did not expect that upon entering Gulai Town, he would actually fail to find Wang Haisheng.

For a moment, he did not know what to do; he had absolutely no clues.

He thought for a while, then decided to look for clues in the nearby villages and towns.

"I clearly remember, all the disciples were saying that Wang Haisheng was a villager from Gulai Town! Could there be a second Gulai Town by the Qingtian River?"

Duan Gujin carefully recalled some fragments of his memory, judging that he really hadn't remembered the place name incorrectly.

Thus, he considered the possibility of there being a small town called Gulai Town within the Qingtian River area.

To know the answer, he purposely went to ask the people in nearby cities, and only then did he learn that in the entire Qingtian River basin, there was only one village town called Gulai Town.

"If I haven't remembered incorrectly, then Wang Haisheng should indeed be in Gulai Town! But where could he be now?"

In order to find the truth, he once again entered those nearby villages and towns.

After some investigation, he learned that no experts from the Green Cloud Sect had appeared in Gulai Town.

The distinct deep purple attire of the Green Cloud Sect was very eye-catching, and none of the nearby villagers had any impression of seeing it.

Duan Gujin thought again and considered the possibility that Green Cloud Sect's experts really had entered Gulai Town and rescued Wang Haisheng.

As the nearby villagers had low cultivation, they wouldn't be able to recognize the attire of the Green Cloud Sect's disciples.

"Could it be that the lead on Wang Haisheng has been lost?"

Duan Gujin exhaled, frustrated that he knew the residence of Wang Haisheng before he joined the Green Cloud Sect, and even after putting in much effort, he still couldn't find his whereabouts.

"So frustrating!"

His mind whirled, a foreboding premonition flashing across his heart, though at the moment he couldn't clearly articulate what this ominous premonition was.

Without a clear answer, he wandered around Gulai Town.

However, what he saw in Gulai Town were scorched earth and severely damaged houses.

He had heard from villagers in other towns that they had already buried the bodies of the murdered villagers of Gulai Town.

Therefore, there were no bodies on the ground at the moment.

"I clearly remember, that time I even looked through Wang Haisheng's information, it was written he was from Gulai Town, but where is he now?"

Duan Gujin was full of doubts. He had intended to continue the investigation there, but with time pressing on him, he couldn't afford to conduct a thorough investigation.

If he managed to find out the whereabouts of Wang Haisheng, his next course of action would be to immediately eliminate Wang Haisheng.

But since he couldn't even find out where Wang Haisheng was now, he was at a loss.

Having no other choice, he could only hastily return to Country Gulai.

On his way back, a spark of inspiration struck him; he thought he should immediately sort out the experiences following the destruction of the Green Cloud Sect, and then plan strategies targeting certain individuals.

"I remember that the Netherworld Sect was the most active in the destruction of the Green Cloud Sect, they claimed that the Green Cloud Sect had stolen their treasure! In actuality, the treasure of the Netherworld Sect was taken by me!"

Reflecting on the past, Duan Gujin deeply exhaled a breath of turbid air.

At this moment, a bold conjecture flashed through his mind; he felt it was highly possible that people from the Netherworld Sect sensed that it was the disciples of the Green Cloud Sect who took the Netherworld Treasure, hence deciding to destroy the Green Cloud Sect at all costs.

The destruction of the Green Cloud Sect must have always been in the plans of the Netherworld Sect, Duan Gujin knew that the two sects had always harbored deep-seated animosity towards each other.

But what really determined the Netherworld Sect's resolve to destroy the Green Cloud Sect had to be after Duan Gujin obtained the Netherworld Treasure.

The Netherworld Sect wanted to quickly reclaim their own treasure, so they made an early move to eliminate the Green Cloud Sect at all costs.

Duan Gujin connected all the clues he gathered, and he came to think of this as the most likely possibility.
