Reverse War Surpass Immortal

Chapter 37: Deception with False Words



Duan Gujin sighed inwardly; he originally didn't want to get involved in too many disputes, he just wanted to focus on dealing with the enemy lurking in the shadows.

He understood that if he stood up for the Ye siblings at this moment, then without having addressed the hidden enemy, he would be gaining himself a powerful adversary.

Therefore, he didn't stand up for the Ye siblings, but he didn't expect that Cao Dingtian's son, Cao Wentian, would be so badass, to actually send a group of Imperial Guards to intimidate him, warning him to stay away from Meng Yun in the future.

"F**k! This is totally not following the script! This is completely an unexpected disaster! It's unbearable!"

Duan Gujin's mind raced; he had not been part of the Genius Class at Star Moon Academy in his previous life.

As such, he was unfamiliar with the situation and future developments of the Genius Class at Star Moon Academy; he only remembered having seen True Disciple Meng Yun back in Green Cloud Sect.

"Am I supposed to kneel now?"

Duan Gujin's eyes flickered, he found it hard to choose.

"Young man, let me tell you, never get close to Teacher Meng Yun again! If you dare approach Teacher Meng Yun, the Cao Family will not let you off! If you dare approach Teacher Meng Yun, I will definitely break your damn legs!"

The officer said fiercely.

Hearing such arrogant words, Duan Gujin immediately felt furious.

"I don't want to cause trouble, but I'm not afraid of it!"

If Duan Gujin were naturally a person who feared trouble, he wouldn't have risen quickly in his past life.

Before encountering his family catastrophe in his past life, he was decadent because he had the capital to be decadent; he did not have to worry about his future.

Even though the Duan Family was already falling apart at that time, he was fearless and ignorant.

His later drive and strength were because he faced a huge setback due to drastic family changes.

Hence, he burst out with his true strength.

Duan Gujin, by nature, even though he knew that before finding the enemy who had nearly annihilated the Duan Family, he shouldn't provoke a stronger enemy for the Duan Family, he still decided to confront the Cao Family.

"F**k! If I'm so frightened by just the mere Cao Family that I don't dare to confront them, how will I ever make it in the future?"

Duan Gujin's eyes suddenly glinted with sharp light, his look towards the officer turned serious.

This moment, he discarded all his previous hesitations; he decided to face the threats from Cao Wentian head-on.

"Go back and tell your Young Master Cao that Meng Yun and I are just teacher and student, nothing more! If you dare to harass me, watch out—I won't be polite!" Duan Gujin said coldly.

Hearing Duan Gujin's words, the officer flew into a rage—here in Country Gulai, very few people dared to defy Prime Minister Cao.

"You'll die!"

The officer, furiously enraged, his Innate Primordial Power burst forth instantly, and an intense killing aura emitted from his eyes.

He quickly drew a broadsword from his waist and aimed it directly at Duan Gujin's head to chop down.

This officer was a crazed one; he acted this way naturally because he was confident

in his backing— he didn't believe there was anyone in Country Gulai with more power and influence than Prime Minister Cao.

Just when the officer thought he could easily sever Duan Gujin's head with one strike, suddenly, he found that the momentum of his blade halted instantly, and his hand tingled.

Focusing his gaze, he saw Duan Gujin's right hand, two fingers had caught his broadsword.

The officer took another look and discovered there were eleven orange Heavenly Dragon Illusions floating above Duan Gujin's head.

"It turns out his cultivation is of the orange Innate First Level! My God, this man actually possesses an orange Martial Soul!"

Upon seeing Duan Gujin's orange Martial Soul, the officer immediately gasped in shock.

A cold glint burst forth from Duan Gujin's eyes as he looked at the officer, causing the officer's body to shiver uncontrollably.

"You!"

The officer felt as if a fierce prehistoric beast was eyeing him when Duan Gujin glared, creating trembles throughout his body.

"My Master is a Sixth-grade Alchemist; do you want to try some Poison Pills my Master prepared for me? Do you dare to offend a disciple of a Sixth-grade Alchemist? If you dare, just say it!"

Duan Gujin coldly said to the officer.

"What? Sixth-grade Alchemist?"

The officer gasped upon hearing Duan Gujin's words, understanding the hierarchy among alchemists, aware that in Country Gulai, there was only a mediocre Second-grade Alchemist.

Yet, the Master of this Xingyue Academy Disciple before him was even more formidable than the top alchemist of Country Gulai, indicating this man's significant background.

Upon hearing Duan Gujin's words, the officer immediately cowered.

"My friend, I was wrong earlier, I apologize to you, let us depart immediately!"

The officer quickly sheathed his great sword, waved his right hand, and rapidly led his subordinates away.

Duan Gujin did not stop the officer from leaving; he knew that the officer must have been intimidated by his previous words.

In the evening, the officer recounted everything that had happened during the day to Cao Wentian.

Only then did Cao Wentian realize that Duan Gujin had such a powerful Master behind him.

"How is that possible? The Duan Family is just a run-down household, how could there be a Sixth-grade Alchemist behind the Duan Family?"

Duan Gujin had entered the Academy with an orange Martial Soul during the Star Moon Academy's assessment, so Cao Wentian had already conducted preliminary investigations on Duan Gujin and the Duan Family.

After reviewing the investigation, Cao Wentian concluded that the Duan Family was indeed a run-down household.

Because currently, the Duan Family was much weaker in both financial and combat capabilities compared to its peak times.

Cao Wentian didn't think much of the Duan Family. Now, suddenly hearing from his subordinate that Duan Gujin's Master was a Sixth-grade Alchemist, his brows furrowed, showing disbelief.

He pondered for a moment and then asked seriously.

"Did you see him make a move?"

The officer hastily shook his head: "No, when I heard him say that, I was stunned. I didn't know what kind of background that young man had, so I pulled back!"

"Oh!"

Cao Wentian's eyes flickered rapidly; his mind raced as he considered how to deal with Duan Gujin.

"Also, the Soul Fire on that Duan Gujin is very powerful; it completely overwhelms all the students of the Genius Class. If he says there is a Sixth-grade Alchemist behind him as his Master, I think this possibility is quite high! After all, in Country Gulai, even a genius like me has never been unable to exhibit Soul Fire in front of someone!"

Cao Wentian thought about it and felt that the truth might indeed be as Duan Gujin described.

"It's just that now, Meng Yun will get even closer to Duan Gujin! No wonder! I've seen them hanging out together frequently before; so that's why!"
