Reverse War Surpass Immortal

Chapter 56: Quicksand Fire Poison



She could hardly believe her eyes; she even rubbed them a few times before she finally accepted that she was not mistaken.

"Turns out you actually possess the Yellow Heavenly Dragon Martial Soul! My god, how did you manage that?"

Princess Meng Yun couldn't believe it; she knew that within the Green Cloud Sect, there were some geniuses who had unlocked the third Martial Meridian.

But those geniuses were identified as True Disciples of the Green Cloud Sect, whereas she was merely a common Inner Sect Disciple.

In terms of talent, she definitely ranked first-class in Country Gulai.

However, her talent would be considered very ordinary within the Green Cloud Sect.

It was with great difficulty that she had unlocked her second Martial Meridian at the age of twenty, while this man who had unlocked the third was not even seventeen.

"Duan Gujin is truly defying the heavens!" Princess Meng Yun exclaimed in her heart.

At this moment, a thought flashed through Princess Meng Yun's mind.

"Now I understand, Duan Gujin's Master is extremely powerful, and he himself has tremendous potential, his future is immeasurable!"

"Duan Gujin, with you helping me, I feel at ease!"

Princess Meng Yun no longer doubted Duan Gujin's strength, and she said quietly.

"Don't worry, as long as you follow the Elixir Recipe I provided last time to gather the medicines, the poison inside your father's body can be easily removed!"

Duan Gujin said lightly.

"I know!"

Previously, Princess Meng Yun had deep concerns about Duan Gujin, thinking he was too young.

After all, it was her father who was poisoned; she didn't want her father to be in jeopardy.

But now, seeing the eleven Yellow Heavenly Dragon Martial Souls emitted from Duan Gujin's head, she truly believed in Duan Gujin's ability to help her father.

"I believe you!"

Princess Meng Yun nodded slightly.

"What kind of Master does Duan Gujin have behind him?"

Princess Meng Yun took a deep breath, startled by Duan Gujin's Yellow Heavenly Dragon Martial Soul.

She was very clear that even within the Green Cloud Sect, it was extremely rare to encounter a devilish genius like Duan Gujin who had unlocked the third Martial Meridian before the age of seventeen.

Just now, she was truly stunned by the Yellow Heavenly Dragon Martial Soul emitted by Duan Gujin.

"I really didn't expect it, Duan Gujin, you've hidden so deep!"

She had previously sent people to secretly investigate Duan Gujin's situation, only to find out that just two months prior, he had seemed like a useless person, yet now his potential had suddenly erupted astonishingly, as if he had become a different person!

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Princess Meng Yun would never believe such a thing was possible in this world.

"I wasn't hiding before, it's just that the timing wasn't right. That is to say, my Master told me that if I wanted to enhance my strength in a very short time, I would have to unlock my Martial Meridian at a specific moment; only in this way can my potential be fully unleashed."

Duan Gujin opened his mouth, and the lie came out effortlessly.

"Duan Gujin, come with me for a moment! I have a glorious and sacred mission to entrust to you!"

Princess Meng Yun suddenly said.

Duan Gujin was about to refuse; from her words, he could tell that she was probably asking him to do something she couldn't handle herself.

"Come with me!"

As if seeing through Duan Gujin's thoughts, Princess Meng Yun quickly pulled him into a corner of the Imperial Palace.

The moment they entered the Imperial Palace, they were spotted by a spy of Cao Wentian, and when Cao Wentian received this intelligence, he was furious.

"What a shameless pair of adulterers! I will make sure you both suffer a terrible fate! I let it pass when you were being intimate in the academy, but to think you behave like this in the Imperial Palace too! Shameless! Utterly shameless!"

Duan Gujin originally wanted to struggle, but at this moment, Meng Yun grabbed his right hand, the delicate and slippery feeling stirred his emotions momentarily.

Before he could react, he was pulled by Meng Yun into a large courtyard of the Imperial Palace.

There were originally six guards stationed outside that courtyard.

These six guards recognized her as Princess Meng Yun of Country Gulai, so they did not stop her.

"This place is so big! So open!"

Duan Gujin didn't know why Meng Yun brought him to such a large courtyard in the Imperial Palace, but soon, Meng Yun led him into a large house.

Meng Yun continued to lead him to a corner of the room, where she triggered a mechanism.

A moment later, Duan Gujin heard a series of clicking noises.

Soon, Duan Gujin saw the ground in the center of the large room splitting open into a hole.

"Come with me! I'm going to introduce you to someone, and you must absolutely not speak of what happens here today! If you do, I will not let you off! If you speak out, I will have someone capture you, then castrate you, making you unable to be a man for the rest of your life, just like the eunuchs here!"

Meng Yun threatened fiercely.

She spoke with a heavy tone, but to Duan Gujin's ears, it sounded like an angry kitten.

He chuckled, "Actually, if I could spend my lifetime by your side, being a eunuch wouldn't be so bad!"

"Bitch! If you want to stay by my side, don't you want to enjoy some fun times with me? I saw you touching me several times just now, wasn't it exhilarating?"

Meng Yun scoffed.

Duan Gujin's old face turned red; although he was no novice, this was the first time a woman had openly read his thoughts.

"Didn't expect to be caught red-handed! Aren't you afraid I'll kill you to keep you silent?" Duan Gujin chuckled.

"Come on! I'm not afraid of anything!" Meng Yun said calmly.

Duan Gujin was speechless, and while he was still searching for words, suddenly, Meng Yun cautioned him, "Be careful! We're almost there, don't talk too much later, just do as I say! If you want to know more, I'll tell you later!"

"Okay!"

Duan Gujin nodded vigorously.

They advanced through an underground passage for over ten meters, and soon, Duan Gujin heard wails coming from ahead within the tunnel.

After turning a bend, Duan Gujin saw a large room ahead, lit by more than ten Luminous Pearls emitting bright white light.

Following the direction of the wailing, he quickly saw a middle-aged man in the room.

The middle-aged man was shirtless and his body appeared reddish, as if scorched by fire.

His facial expression was one of severe pain; his body trembled violently every time he wailed.

Duan Gujin observed that the middle-aged man's mouth was stuffed with a rag, likely to prevent him from screaming or perhaps to prevent him from accidentally biting off his own tongue in pain.

"This is my seventh uncle!"

Meng Yun said.

"What? Then isn't he your Imperial Uncle?" Duan Gujin was surprised, utterly confused as to why Meng Yun's seventh uncle would be in such a state.

"Yes, I'm not lying to you, he is my seventh uncle. One day, my father the Emperor wanted a drink of wine, but he drank it first, and unexpectedly, he was poisoned and has since turned into what he is now! My father told me, if it wasn't for my seventh uncle, the person trapped here would have been him! Therefore, my father instructed me to learn Alchemy well, to later save my seventh uncle!"

Meng Yun spoke somberly.

"Have you consulted your sect, Green Cloud Sect, about this?" Duan Gujin asked.

"I have consulted, and the people of Green Cloud Sect told me that my seventh uncle is suffering from Quicksand Fire Poison."

Meng Yun answered.

"Quicksand Fire Poison?"

Duan Gujin's mind raced, trying to remember, but he couldn't recall any details.
