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 men? 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 Prime 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.
