Cao Dingtian naturally did not want to risk revealing himself, as he was unaware of what sort of conspiracy Seventh Imperial Uncle was scheming.
Moreover, the enemy has already besieged the city.
What if his subordinates were infiltrated by Seventh Imperial Uncle's n? Wouldn't he be exposing his target?
Cao Dingtian, skilled in all sorts of underhanded tactics, feared that Seventh Imperial Uncle might have placed his own people among his ranks.
Cao Dingtian was particularly terrified that the Assassins arranged by Seventh Imperial Uncle would attack him at this critical juncture.
This possibility was indeed quite high!
Therefore, Cao Dingtian did not show himself and confront Seventh Imperial Uncle.
Duan Gujin charged into the Pri Minister's Mansion where Cao Dingtian resided, protected by over two thousand soldiers.
He quickly released his Demonized Martial Soul and, together with the soldiers, launched a fierce attack on the garrison in front.
Seventh Imperial Uncle's n had already beco accustod to Duan Gujin's externalized Demonized Martial Soul, so they were not as terrified.
However, the garrison closest to Duan Gujin from the Pri Minister's Mansion were montarily unable to adapt to the externalized Demonized Martial Soul, trembling all over, their movents becoming extrely sluggish.
Soon, Seventh Imperial Uncle's soldiers carved a bloody path through, heading straight for the heart of the Pri Minister's Mansion.
Seeing the large number of soldiers launching a fierce attack, the garrison of the Pri Minister's Mansion reacted instantly, decisively counterattacking the soldiers led by Duan Gujin.
For a mont, the clangor of various weapons colliding echoed throughout the Pri Minister's Mansion.
Everyone inside and outside the Pri Minister's Mansion felt fear, this being their first experience of the mansion coming under enemy attack.
At this mont, they were naturally panic-stricken.
"It's bad! Seventh Imperial Uncle has penetrated inside!"
All the servants inside the Pri Minister's Mansion panicked, many of them scattering in all directions to avoid Seventh Imperial Uncle's soldiers who had broken in.
Only when they heard the sounds of Seventh Imperial Uncle's n did Cao Dingtian and Cao Wentian realize that the enemy had indeed stord the Pri Minister's Mansion.
"My God! Dad, what should we do?"
At this mont, Cao Wentian's face was filled with fear, terrified inside.
He was very clear in his heart, that he and his father, Cao Dingtian, were the true seekers of power and usurpers of thrones.
The fate of power-hungry usurpers could go one of two ways.
If they indeed succeeded in usurping power, then they would beco the Monarch of a country.
From then on, Country Gulai would be their plaything, to do with as they wished, none could stand against them.
If they failed, not only would they be facing death, but their entire family would be exterminated.
The victor becos the King, the vanquished becos the outlawed!
Apart from that, they had no other choice!
Now that Seventh Imperial Uncle had led his soldiers this far, breaking into the Pri Minister's Mansion, Cao Wentian understood that it was the critical mont for them to either beco kings or be defeated as outlaws!
"We have to go out there and stand against their assault!"
Different from Cao Wentian's panic, Cao Dingtian quickly regained his composure.
Cao Dingtian was aware that it was a critical mont for his life and preservation.
If he did not make an appearance at this ti, then his n would be overwheld by Seventh Imperial Uncle in one fell swoop.
Once the Pri Minister's Mansion was broken through, it would an his influence was lost, signifying his complete failure.
And he was very clear about the fate that awaited the defeated.
"Since Seventh Imperial Uncle can charge ahead of his troops, so can I!"
A glint of determination flashed in Cao Dingtian's eyes.
"Good!"
Cao Wentian understood when he heard Cao Dingtian's words that it was indeed the critical mont of life and death for them.
So, they stepped out of their hiding place in the Pri Minister's Mansion.
With the cover of over a hundred subordinates, Cao Dingtian waved a large flag and shouted loudly at his soldiers.
"Ladies and gentlen! Today, everyone who bravely kills an enemy will be rewarded with a thousand Gold Coins!"
"For slaying ten enemies, you'll be promoted one rank."
"For slaying thirty enemies, you'll be promoted two ranks."
"For slaying a hundred enemies, you'll be promoted three ranks."
Cao Dingtian and others like Cao Wentian imdiately shouted out their bounties, intending to encourage the garrison of the Pri Minister's Mansion to fight valiantly.
Upon spotting a banner among the enemies and the person waving that banner being none other than Cao Dingtian, Duan Gujin was overjoyed.
"The crucial mont to decide the outco has finally arrived!"
He stepped back more than ten paces, allowing the Seventh Imperial Uncle to cover for him as his subordinates stepped forward to protect him.
As soon as the Seventh Imperial Uncle's subordinates finished setting up the formation in front of him according to plan, Duan Gujin quickly released the Sun-shooting War Chariot.
With a thought, his Divine Soul rged with the Sun-shooting War Chariot as one entity.
In the next instant, he directed the Sun-shooting War Chariot to lock onto Cao Dingtian.
Seeing that Duan Gujin was ready, the Seventh Imperial Uncle hurriedly ordered his soldiers to launch a fierce assault forward.
"Kill!"
The Seventh Imperial Uncle's soldiers surged forward like a tide towards Cao Dingtian, and many of Cao Dingtian's soldiers fell where they were overrun.
"It's him! It's Duan Gujin!"
Cao Wentian quickly spotted Duan Gujin and started shouting.
Following the direction of Cao Wentian's shouts, Cao Dingtian saw Duan Gujin and also caught sight of the Sun-shooting War Chariot.
However, in his eyes, there was nothing extraordinary about the Sun-shooting War Chariot, and since he had never heard of its prowess before, Cao Dingtian suspected it might just be an ordinary chariot and didn't take it seriously.
Duan Gujin and the Seventh Imperial Uncle's subordinates charged forward, and soon they were within five hundred ters of Cao Dingtian.
Seeing the enemy in front of him, Duan Gujin was filled with excitent, knowing that the decisive mont was finally upon them!
This was a day of bloodshed.
Duan Gujin looked around and noticed that there were at least hundreds of corpses lying around, and the fresh blood had not yet dried on the ground.
The pungent scent of blood quickly spread inside and outside the entire Pri Minister's Mansion, nearly dyeing the whole place red.
The Seventh Imperial Uncle had already made it to Duan Gujin's side, aware that he needed to cooperate with Duan Gujin in this mont.
Only by Duan Gujin killing Cao Dingtian would this carnage end.
The Seventh Imperial Uncle and his subordinates fought valiantly, gradually closing in on Cao Dingtian.
At first, they were about five hundred ters apart.
Quickly, the distance shrank to four hundred ters, three hundred ters, two hundred ters, then just one hundred ters.
Duan Gujin did not make a move while the Seventh Imperial Uncle and his soldiers pressed forward; instead, he had the Sun-shooting War Chariot target Cao Dingtian.
He wanted to strike at the best mont, to eliminate Cao Dingtian in one fell swoop.
The Seventh Imperial Uncle continuously swung his broadsword in front of them; sotis, he cut down two enemies with a single stroke.
Seeing the Seventh Imperial Uncle mounting a fierce attack and the distance between them growing perilously short, Cao Dingtian knew it was ti to unleash his true strength.
A fierce battle erupted swiftly with Cao Dingtian and the Seventh Imperial Uncle clashing fiercely.
Matching in strength, Duan Gujin couldn't intervene for the mont.
Duan Gujin scanned the surroundings and noticed that Cao Wentian was close by.
Almost simultaneously, Cao Wentian also spotted him.
Upon seeing Duan Gujin, Cao Wentian was furious.
In his heart, Duan Gujin was the rival who had stolen his goddess, so naturally, he despised Duan Gujin deeply.
He quickly transmitted a ssage to two of his subordinates, telling them to work with him to attack Duan Gujin.
"Young Master! Let's retreat to the side and steer clear of these battles."
These two subordinates had previously received orders from Cao Dingtian to protect Cao Wentian at all costs; naturally, they would not allow Cao Wentian to engage and fight against Duan Gujin.
