Reverse War Surpass Immortal

Seeing the Captain fall, all the assassins' eyes widened in shock.

They knew the strength of the Captain; had the Captain been slain by an extremely terrifying master, they would not have been as astounded as they were now.

Now, the one who had killed the Captain was just a young man, albeit one who was releasing a yellow Martial Soul above his head, yet his cultivation was merely at the Innate First Level.

Logically speaking, the Captain's strength should have been much greater than that of this demonic young man.

Thus, the sight of the Captain being pierced through had completely overturned their understanding.

At that moment, Duan Gujin swiftly retreated to a spot behind where many guards stood.

The real threat to Meng Yun had been the Captain, and now that he was eliminated, her crisis was resolved.

Seeing Duan Gujin exerting his full force to kill the Captain, Seventh Imperial Uncle knew he did it to save Meng Yun.

His figure turned into an afterimage, then he positioned himself protectively beside Meng Yun.

His cultivation was originally not low, for he was once considered a prodigious youth in Country Gulai.

Had it not been for the severe poisoning he suffered in the past, he would have been the one sitting on the dragon throne now.

Seventh Imperial Uncle moved extremely fast, as he drew his sword and created over a dozen sword shadows.

The assassins dared not approach him lightly, fearing his Sword Qi.

After holding on for a while, they realized success was no longer possible.

Thus, the remaining assassins began to retreat, launching Hidden Weapons laced with lethal poison at the pursuing guards of Country Gulai.

The guards, knowing the poison on the Hidden Weapons, swiftly dodged to the side, avoiding the lethal projectiles.

The assassins took advantage of this moment to flee desperately, leaving the guards of Country Gulai unable to pursue.

Seeing the assassins all escape, everyone present clenched their teeth in hatred.

"Jiang Duan Gujin, how are you feeling now? Are you alright?"

First, Seventh Imperial Uncle arranged for his subordinates to clean up the corpses, then he inquired about Duan Gujin.

"I'm fine!"

Duan Gujin slightly nodded.

"That's good!"

Looking at Duan Gujin, a hint of a strange glint appeared in the eyes of Seventh Imperial Uncle.

Soon, nearby cavalry gathered around.

Seventh Imperial Uncle had these cavalrymen surround them for protection.

Duan Gujin quickly consumed some Spirit Pills to recover his Primordial Power.

An hour later, he had recovered thirty percent of his strength.

Seeing that everyone had regained some Primordial Power, Seventh Imperial Uncle hurriedly led everyone back to a nearby city.

He did not know if there would be another sneak attack, so the best course of action was to return to the nearby city and use the military power within it for protection.

This time, Seventh Imperial Uncle did not dare to be careless.

Half a day later, Seventh Imperial Uncle took Meng Yun to meet with Duan Gujin.

In the heart of Seventh Imperial Uncle, Duan Gujin had too many secrets.

He knew that although Duan Gujin had unlocked the third Martial Meridian and possessed a yellow Martial Soul.

But his cultivation was genuinely at the Innate First Level; facing off against the Captain, he had no chance of winning.

Moreover, during the fierce battle with the Captain just moments ago, Duan Gujin suddenly erupted with a tremendously terrifying aura.

Unlike the other guards present, Seventh Imperial Uncle, who was vastly experienced, recognized the aura Duan Gujin released as belonging to the Demon Path.

Furthermore, he sensed the Demon Path aura that Duan Gujin emitted was similar to a highly terrifying pressure he had only felt days ago within the Imperial Palace.

After pondering for a while, he suspected that the one who had unleashed that terrifying pressure in the Capital City of Gulai Country must have been Duan Gujin's Master.

Given that Duan Gujin's Master could release such a terrifying aura of the Demon Path, it was natural that Duan Gujin, as his disciple, could too.

Prior to this, Meng Yun had informed Seventh Imperial Uncle about Duan Gujin, but he had not personally witnessed Duan Gujin's capabilities.

Thus, he merely regarded Duan Gujin as a devil of Gulai Country.

In his heart, even though he considered Duan Gujin a devil, he was still within the limits of what he could imagine.

Just moments ago, Duan Gujin suddenly unleashed an extremely terrifying pressure, one that even affected his movement speed, completely overturning his understanding and making him realize that Duan Gujin's abilities had far exceeded his imagination and breached the limits of his understanding.

"Now I realize, Duan Gujin harbors many unspeakable secrets!"

Seventh Imperial Uncle knew that the aura of the Demon Path released by Duan Gujin was not of the Righteous Path, and if he entered any sects of the Qiankun Continent, their disciples would consider him a heretic or a Demon Cultivator.

Here in Qiankun Continent, even though the righteous forces have no interest in eradicating the Demon Path, those of the Demon Cultivators are always regarded as unorthodox and seen as scheming and evil.

Duan Gujin just exchanged pleasantries with Seventh Imperial Uncle and Meng Yun for a while, then stressed the need to keep their subordinates' mouths sealed about what happened today.

"I don't want to cause panic among the people of Gulai Country!"

Duan Gujin gave this as a reason.

"Alright!"

Seventh Imperial Uncle decisively agreed, not wanting the fact that Duan Gujin could emit Demon Path aura to spread.

He wants to shape Duan Gujin into an unparalleled expert for Gulai Country, to confront Sky Martial Country.

To have Duan Gujin wholeheartedly serve Gulai Country and fight for it also requires a good reason.

Seventh Imperial Uncle knows that if he tries to deceive Duan Gujin with patriotism, it would definitely not be possible.

Thus, he resorted to the simplest yet most effective method—the beauty trap.

Looking at the young and beautiful Meng Yun, who was also nobly born and stood beside him, he felt she matched Duan Gujin.

His mind rapidly working, he thought of using Meng Yun to capture Duan Gujin's heart.

Seventh Imperial Uncle knew they were currently facing either outright attacks or stealth raids from Sky Martial Country, so he should initially put personal feelings aside.

After parting from Duan Gujin, he secretly transmitted his voice to Meng Yun: "Meng Yun, what do you think about Duan Gujin?"

"What do you mean?"

Meng Yun, upon hearing Seventh Imperial Uncle's words, felt utterly confused.

"I mean about your feelings for him before!"

Meng Yun's pretty face blushed, saying, "Seventh Imperial Uncle, what are you talking about! I'm three years older than him! How could there be any feelings between us?"

Seventh Imperial Uncle laughed and said, "Yun, don't be shy, it's normal for men and women to love each other! He's just three years younger than you, that's not a problem at all, you're the Princess of Gulai Country, the older cow eating young grass is no big deal!"

Meng Yun, with a frown and her beautiful eyes looking around distractedly, seemed nonchalant.

"Let's not talk about this! I'm going back!"

She, being incomparably intelligent, immediately understood the underlying meaning in her Seventh Imperial Uncle's words.
