Reverse War Surpass Immortal

Duan Gujin knew the whereabouts of the deputy dean of Star Moon Academy, so he devised a plan and personally followed the deputy dean at night.

"Who would've thought that this deputy dean actually keeps two female students on the side, damn it! What kind of deputy deans are these!"

After a night of tailing, Duan Gujin learned even more truth.

By the evening of the next day, he arrived at the courtyard where one of the deputy dean's kept women, a student, lived.

At that moment, inside that courtyard, the deputy dean was getting cozy with a female student.

Duan Gujin took advantage of the moment when the deputy dean's guard was at its lowest and sneaked into their living room, where he dispersed Poison Powder into the deputy dean and the woman's room.

After a while, the deputy dean realized he had inhaled Poison Powder.

"Not good!"

The deputy dean immediately sprang from the bed, in such a rush that he didn't even have time to put on his clothes before dashing out.

The next moment, he burst into the hall.

There, sitting in the hall, was Duan Gujin.

"Brilliant! Splendid!"

Duan Gujin promptly clapped his hands, praising.

"Who are you?" the deputy dean panicked.

He quickly prepared for battle, but then he was horrified to discover that he couldn't summon the Primordial Power within his body.

"Darn it! The poison's too deep!"

The deputy dean hastily swallowed some Detoxification Elixir, and could only pray that his adversary would not strike at this opportunity.

"Deputy dean, you needn't worry, I mean no harm! I just want to ask you about something. My son was tragically killed on a bandit-suppression mission a few days ago. I've heard from others that it was all a trap! I want to know what really happened. If you don't tell me, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Duan Gujin altered his voice to that of a middle-aged man, as he coldly questioned the deputy dean.

"So that's what this is about! I'll tell you, it was Prime Minister Cao's order. This order was targeted at a young man named Duan Gujin; it had nothing to do with anyone else!"

The deputy dean knew that Duan Gujin was not dead, and indeed, several students from Star Moon Academy had perished.

Having just heard Duan Gujin's words, he thought that Duan Gujin really was a parent of a student who had died tragically.

Therefore, he told Duan Gujin everything he knew.

"Injustice has a source, debt has a master! Go settle your score with Prime Minister Cao! I just followed his order to lure out Duan Gujin, that's all!"

The deputy dean very readily spilled everything he knew.

The reason he did so readily was partly because he dreaded that he had been poisoned with something that could harm his Cultivation.

For a cultivator, their greatest fear is to turn from a terrifyingly powerful figure into a powerless civilian.

If they truly went from being powerful to being ordinary people, it would surely be a fate worse than death for them.

The deputy dean told Duan Gujin all he knew, because he didn't want to bear the responsibility that wasn't his to bear.

He didn't suspect Duan Gujin's identity, thinking he truly was a parent of a student who died tragically in the bandit suppression.

After all, the students who died in the bandit suppression were from Star Moon Academy, many of whom were from significant families.

Therefore, it was entirely possible that some of these families were extremely powerful and impressive individuals.

Since this middle-aged man had lost a son, the deputy dean, not wishing to provoke him further, told the truth.

After hearing the deputy dean's answer, Duan Gujin exhaled deeply, judging that the deputy dean was likely not lying.

After all, the deputy dean had just specifically named Prime Minister Cao and his own name.

"Indeed, it was him!"

Duan Gujin harrumphed coldly, his body flashed, and he quickly rushed outside.

The vice-dean sighed with relief only after Duan Gujin had left.

It was only moments later that it occurred to him that the other party hadn't left him any antidote.

He hurriedly sat cross-legged, channeling his Primordial Power, expelling the Poison Powder he had inhaled from his body.

Knowing the truth, Duan Gujin's eyes flickered; his mind raced as he pondered how to deal with Prime Minister Cao next.

"Damn it! Since the other side can use such schemes against me, why can't I strike first with strength?"

Duan Gujin contemplated for a while before abandoning the thought.

He knew that Prime Minister Cao was nothing like the intimidated vice-dean of Star Moon Academy; he could offer a high price to hire a large number of skilled protectors.

If that were the case, Duan Gujin suspected he probably couldn't even find Prime Minister Cao in the Cao Family residence, let alone get close to him.

Though he could use poison, his range was limited, and the poison he used could only suppress someone's Cultivation temporarily.

After much contemplation, Duan Gujin could only put aside the thought of dealing with Prime Minister Cao for the time being.

But after this incident, he knew that he was indeed being targeted by Prime Minister Cao.

"Lucky! With Ye Tang gathering intelligence for me, it saves me a lot of trouble!"

Duan Gujin thought he should properly cultivate Ye Tang. The situation in Country Gulai was too complex; if he could build his own forces, it would increase his chances of defeating Prime Minister Cao.

"What kind of Cultivation Technique would be most suitable for Ye Tang?"

He pondered for a while but couldn't come to a conclusion.

So, he called over Ye Tang and asked what kind of Cultivation Technique or Martial Skill he was interested in.

After knowing his unique constitution, Ye Tang told Duan Gujin that he wanted to learn swordsmanship.

"The sword is lithe and swift, emphasizing speed. Are you sure you've thought this through? You sure you really want to learn swordsmanship?" Duan Gujin asked.

"Absolutely! Brother Duan!" Ye Tang said earnestly.

"That's great! Show me a demonstration; I want to see if you have a talent for swordsmanship."

Duan Gujin passed a Longsword to Ye Tang and let him demonstrate swordplay in a small courtyard.

Ye Tang performed the Swordsmanship his father had taught him in the courtyard. After practicing for a while, he stopped.

Duan Gujin's eyes widened, and he looked incredulous.

"Ye Tang, what Swordsmanship were you just practicing?" he nervously asked.

"My father told me that this Sword Technique he taught me is called the Unrivaled Sword Technique. He said my Cultivation is too low to learn more Advanced Sword Techniques."

Unrivaled!

Duan Gujin sharply inhaled. At that moment, he could surmise that the Swordsmanship Ye Tang just performed was indeed the Unrivaled Sword Technique of Fallen Heaven Valley.

Fallen Heaven Valley, a Demon Sect from Xinghen Continent, is a powerful force and a local tyrant there.

Seeing the Sword Technique of a Demon Sect from Xinghen Continent appear in Qiankun Continent, how could Duan Gujin not be shocked? He surmised that Ye Tang's father must be a person from Xinghen Continent.

"My goodness! Who would have thought that the Ye family actually comes from a Demon Sect of Xinghen Continent!"

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Duan Gujin would never have believed there were people from another continent on Qiankun Continent.

"Good heavens! This completely surpasses any of my previous imaginations!"

Duan Gujin's eyes twinkled as he inquired Ye Tang for more details of the Unrivaled Sword Technique.

After a while, Duan Gujin was certain that the Ye family must indeed come from Xinghen Continent.
