Chapter 4697 Sheng An Visits the Duan Residence

As Duan Nian Tian mentioned, this matter was advantageous for both Sheng An and Xue Ping. There was no harm in giving it a try. If it turned out to be true, they would obtain a favor from a Dao Merging powerhouse. Such an unexpected stroke of luck was beyond their wildest dreams.

After the decision was made through Voice Transmission, Sheng An looked at Duan Nian Tian with a much gentler expression as he said, “Nian Tian, I’ll personally make a trip to the Surging River Divine Kingdom to confirm this matter. If what you say is true, I’ll ensure your father comes here to rescue you as soon as possible. You should understand that even if Xue Ping and I believe you, we can’t save you. After all, Miss Guo’s father is Vice Leader Guo!

“Although we’re also elders of the Mountain Alliance and seem to hold a high status, we’re not comparable to Vice Leader Guo!”

“Not to mention, in terms of strength, even if we join forces, we’re still far from being a match for him. So, I hope you understand our predicament.”

Xue Ping and Sheng An’s attitude toward Duan Nian Tian had changed greatly. After all, if Duan Nian Tian was the son of a Dao Merging powerhouse, they knew they could not offend him and had to curry favor with him. Although they had yet to confirm his identity, they could not mistreat him like before.

“My lords, I understand.” Duan Nian Tian could easily guess their thoughts, but he needed their help now, so he remained polite. He finally had a chance to escape this place. At this time, he wondered and sighed inwardly, ‘Mother should be with Father… I wonder if they had found Si Ling and the others.’

Ever since he was transported to the Divine Land several decades ago, he had been alone. He had companions when he roamed the Outer Boundary, but he happened to be alone when the Outer Boundary collapsed.

Over the years, life in the Divine Land was not unbearable, but it was extremely boring compared to the time he was in the Myriad World and the Outer Boundary. As such, he would reminisce about the good old days quite often.

And now, upon learning that his father, Duan Ling Tian, had become a Dao Merging powerhouse, he realized that perhaps everything he had enjoyed in the past was not necessarily unreachable. Duan Ling Tian was not only a top powerhouse who could protect him in the Myriad World and the Outer Boundary but could also provide him with a comfortable life in the Divine Land.

‘Now, I’ll just have to wait for Sheng An to confirm my identity in the Surging River Divine Kingdom…’

Duan Nian Tian was not worried because he was being truthful after all.

…

In the following days, Duan Nian Tian lived much more comfortably because Xue Ping took care of him, ensuring that he would not be treated like a mule as before.

However, Xue Ping was discreet about it because he could not afford to offend Guo Li Li before confirming that Duan Nian Tian was indeed the son of a Dao Merging powerhouse. His subtle actions were hard for others to detect, but Yue Qiang, who was closest to Duan Nian Tian, had long noticed something was amiss. “Nian Tian, has Xue Ping been in a good mood lately? He hasn’t been bossing you around like before…”

“I guess so…” Duan Nian Tian nodded as he feigned surprise. He did not plan to tell Yue Qiang that his father was the Surging River Divine Kingdom’s new Dao Merging powerhouse for now. After all, it would be bad for him if Yue Qiang snitched on him and told Guo Li Li about it.

“It’s really strange… What good fortune did Xue Ping encounter?” Yue Qiang was very curious about this, but despite racking his brains, he could not figure out why Xue Ping stopped making things difficult for Duan Nian Tian.

…

Meanwhile, after dealing with some matters, Sheng An headed for the Surging River Divine Kingdom. As a level-one Dao Establishment powerhouse, it took him some time to arrive in the territory of the Surging River Divine Kingdom and ask about the whereabouts of Duan Ling Tian.

It naturally led him to the capital of the Surging River Divine Kingdom where the Duan Residence was located. He requested to meet Duan Ling Tian, mentioning that he had news of Duan Nian Tian.

“Duan Nian Tian?”

At this point, although most of Duan Ling Tian’s friends and family members had left the residence, there were still some people who knew of Duan Nian Tian’s existence. Upon receiving the news, someone immediately went to find Zhao An Yi, the level-seven supreme powerhouse from the Azure Cloud Mansion of the Outer Boundary.

Before Duan Ling Tian left, he had asked Zhao An Yi to take care of the remaining people in the Duan Residence.

“Someone brought news about Duan Nian Tian, Brother Ling Tian’s son?”

Zhao An Yi naturally knew Duan Nian Tian had not been found yet. Now that someone had come with information about him, he naturally did not dare to be negligent. He immediately rushed to the Duan Residence.

Zhao An Yi was naturally aware that the newest Dao Merging powerhouse in the Surging River Divine Kingdom was Duan Ling Tian. When he first learned about it, he was naturally shocked. He was also genuinely happy for Duan Ling Tian. Even more so, he felt confident, thinking that among the people from the world within the Life Creation Chart, they had a Dao Merging powerhouse, comparable to the top powerhouses in the Divine Land. He had decided to ally himself with Duan Ling Tian long ago. As such, the stronger Duan Ling Tian became, the more advantageous it would be for him.

“Do you really have news about Brother Ling Tian’s son, Duan Nian Tian?” Zhao An Yi asked bluntly as he extended his Divine Consciousness toward Sheng An.

The domineering energy caused Sheng An to tremble uncontrollably. Not only that, but Zhao An Yi was also staring at him intently, trying to determine if he was telling the truth.

‘He’s so powerful!’

Sheng An was shocked when he discovered that Zhao An Yi was much stronger than a level-four Dao Establishment powerhouse. However, he did not know that Zhao An Yi was a level-seven Dao Establishment powerhouse. He quickly pleaded for mercy. “My lord, please withdraw your Divine Consciousness. I know the whereabouts of Duan Nian Tian!”

“Where is he?” Zhao An Yi’s eyes lit up and stopped pressuring Sheng An. After learning about Duan Nian Tian’s current situation from Sheng An, his expression darkened, and his eyes glinted coldly.

“My lord, please convey this matter to Lord Duan Ling Tian,” Sheng An added.

Although Zhao An Yi was much more powerful than the leader of the Mountain Alliance, his goal was to meet Duan Ling Tian, a Dao Merging powerhouse, after all. How could a favor from Zhao An Yi compare to that of a Dao Merging powerhouse?
