Reverse War Surpass Immortal

Zhang Deming's shock was imaginable; at first, he thought the young man before him was just a wealthy scion, but to his surprise, he had misjudged. That wealthy scion actually emitted an aura that made his skin crawl with fright.

He felt as if there was an Ancient Fierce Beast standing in front of him, with its massive mouth wide open and a pair of blood-red eyes staring intently at him, instilling him with fear.

He hesitated for a moment, then felt that Duan Gujin was even more terrifying than the Seventh Imperial Uncle.

Thus, he made a rapid move to dodge to the side, attempting to escape the encirclement of Duan Gujin and the Seventh Imperial Uncle.

His actions were noticed by Duan Gujin and the Seventh Imperial Uncle, who had already guessed his intentions.

"Thinking of escaping? Not so easy!"

Duan Gujin knew that if he were to fight alone, he might not be the match for Zhang Deming, he was relying on his side's superior numbers to pressure Zhang Deming.

"Boom boom boom boom!"

However, in the next moment, the unexpected happened as Zhang Deming shot Hidden Weapons in all directions.

Once those Hidden Weapons hit the ground, they immediately exploded.

After a series of intense explosions, Duan Gujin detected a faint fragrance in the air.

"Not good, it's poisoned!"

He quickly circulated his Primordial Power to prevent the potent poison from affecting him.

Moments later, many Cavalry fell to the ground, poisoned.

When Duan Gujin sought Zhang Deming, he discovered that the man had vanished without a trace.

"Don't bother looking for him anymore. He has already used an Escape Technique to flee!"

It was at this moment that he heard the Seventh Imperial Uncle's voice transmission.

"Don't bother looking for him anymore. He has used an Escape Technique to flee!"

"Oh! Got it!"

Duan Gujin had previously sensed a strong spatial fluctuation nearby and judged that Zhang Desheng indeed employed some kind of Escape Technique to flee.

Since the opponent had resorted to an Escape Technique, he absolutely couldn't catch up with his current ability.

With no other choice, he could only give up the pursuit of Zhang Desheng.

In this battle, their side had emerged completely victorious, although at some cost, they had eliminated most members of the bandit group.

The only disappointment for Duan Gujin was that he had not eradicated Zhang Desheng.

The Seventh Imperial Uncle instructed his Cavalry to regroup, and then he joined Duan Gujin in searching for any soldiers from Sky Martial Country who had invaded Country Gulai.

However, to their dismay, they found no trace of the soldiers from Sky Martial Country.

Three days later, they received a secret report from the Monarch ordering them to return to the capital.

Upon inquiry, Duan Gujin learned that it was Cao Dingtian who had repelled the invasion from Sky Martial Country.

Hearing this news, Duan Gujin scoffed in disdain.

His eyes flashed, and he guessed the reason behind it.

"So that's how it is!"

His mind raced as he pondered over what Cao Dingtian's ultimate goal could be.

"Could it be that Cao Dingtian merely wanted to use this opportunity to make a name for his son, Cao Wentian?"

After analyzing for a while, Duan Gujin felt this was the most likely possibility.

"It seems there is a big conspiracy behind all this!"

The Seventh Imperial Uncle said coldly.

"Yes!"

Duan Gujin took a deep breath, he guessed that Cao Dingtian would definitely make a big move next.

So, they immediately returned to court.

Two days after returning to the Duan Family, Duan Gujin learned from Meng Yun that Cao Wentian had been rewarded by the Monarch and had received a not insignificant official position.

"That Cao Wentian is now still attending classes at Star Moon Academy, and he's already obtained an official position. It seems his future career is boundless!"

"Yes!"

Meng Yun hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Back at Star Moon Academy, Duan Gujin was filled with myriad emotions.

After a bout of contemplation, he resumed attending classes and continued his cultivation.

When night came, in addition to concocting some Poison Pills, he also tried to integrate some memories he had seen before into the Demonized Martial Soul he had recently mastered.

After several days of attempts, he finally gave up.

"It seems the skills I learned before cannot be perfectly fused with the power of the Demonized Martial Soul!"

Although Duan Gujin had also learned some moves from masters of the Demon Path, he wanted to integrate those skills into the Demonized Martial Soul.

But he found that they were incompatible.

Duan Gujin understood in his heart that the incompatibility was because his Demonized Martial Soul was a special Martial Soul that could not be cultivated successfully using the methods of a regular Demonized Martial Soul.

After this event, Duan Gujin decided to let the siblings of the Ye family concentrate on their cultivation.

He needed to cultivate his own confidants!

"Now that my enemies are in the light and I am in the dark, only by cultivating two confidants of my own can I oppose Prime Minister Cao!"

He was somewhat worried that Zhang Desheng might infiltrate the Duan Family and harm its members, and that was something he could not tolerate.

Although the Duan Family was now protected by the Imperial Guard dispatched by the Monarch, and among them were some highly capable individuals,

Duan Gujin couldn't be sure that all the Imperial Guard were loyal to the Monarch; what if Prime Minister Cao had planted his people in the Imperial Guard and taken control of them long ago.

If the Imperial Guard who were supposed to ensure the Duan Family's safety turned against Duan Gujin in the end, the Duan Family's fate would be the same as in the previous life, with the whole family decimated.

In Duan Gujin's heart, nearly everyone around him was his enemy.

Up until now, he felt there were really very few people he could trust.

Duan Gujin called over Ye Manxiang and Ye Tang, and gave them some Gathering Yuan Pills he had concocted for them.

"You have been recuperating these past few days and your condition has improved quite a bit. Here are some Gathering Yuan Pills, consume them to slowly increase your strength!"

"Okay!"

Ye Manxiang took the Gathering Yuan Pills passed by Duan Gujin, and upon examining them with her Divine Sense, she found that the quality of the Gathering Yuan Pills was extremely high.

She was astounded. Consuming Gathering Yuan Pills was something she had never dared to imagine in the past.

Her family had been poor and she never had the opportunity to take such Elixir Pills.

She had never dreamed that she would finally have the chance to use Elixir Pills to enhance her Cultivation.

"Thank you, Brother Duan!" Ye Tang said gratefully.

"You don't have to thank me, concocting these Gathering Yuan Pills is really nothing to me!"

Duan Gujin spoke indifferently.

"The enemy of an enemy is a friend! I have good news for you, our Duan Family actually has an enemy, and this enemy is none other than Prime Minister Cao, who slaughtered your entire family. Our Duan Family and Prime Minister Cao are sworn enemies, irreconcilable!"

"Oh! Then let's work hard together!" Ye Manxiang's attractive eyes twinkled incessantly.

In her heart, she didn't completely trust what Duan Gujin just said.

Previously, Duan Gujin hadn't told her that the Duan Family's enemy was Prime Minister Cao, but now he suddenly told her. Certainly, there must be a story behind this!

Duan Gujin had no interest in guessing what Ye Manxiang was actually thinking.
