Chapter 4698 Duan Nian Tian Can Now Hold His Head High
"Brother Ling Tian has gone on a long journey and won't be back anytime soon," Zhao An Yi glanced at Sheng An and said in a slightly impatient tone, "Don't worry. As long as you help me bring Nian Tian back, I won't treat you unfairly. Although I'm far weaker than Brother Ling Tian, I'm still a level-seven Dao Establishment powerhouse."
At this moment, Sheng An finally came to his senses.
Zhao An Yi had been addressing Duan Ling Tian as his brother from the beginning, indicating an extraordinary relationship between them. Moreover, Zhao An Yi was much stronger than he had imagined, far stronger than the leader of the Mountain Alliance!
Sheng An took a deep breath and looked at Zhao An Yi before he said with a smile, "Lord Zhao, once Young Master Nian Tian returns, I hope you'll put in a few good words for me in front of Lord Duan. My name is Sheng An, and I'm an elder of the Mountain Alliance in Night Forest, east of Carefree Island."
After confirming that Duan Nian Tian's words were true, Sheng An addressed Duan Nian Tian as Young Master Nian Tian, as if they were very close.
Upon hearing Sheng An's words, Zhao An Yi looked deeply at Sheng An, finally realizing that Sheng An wanted to curry favor over Duan Ling Tian. He smiled and said, "Don't worry. If you help us bring Nian Tian back, Brother Ling Tian and I will reward you accordingly. After all, Nian Tian is his only son. Let alone Brother Ling Tian, even I will reward you."
Sheng An was pleasantly surprised. He did not expect Duan Nian Tian to be the only son of Duan Ling Tian. It seemed like he had struck gold this time. At the same time, he thought about Guo Li Li who imprisoned Duan Nian Tian on that island. 'It seems like not only will Guo Li Li suffer, but Guo Qiu and the entire Guo clan will suffer as well!'
Sheng An was no longer afraid of offending Guo Qiu now. He was certain that even if their leader found out about this, their leader would not be unhappy. After all, he had just saved the Mountain Alliance from a disaster. If Duan Ling Tian found out about the matter and came to the Mountain Alliance, could the alliance survive his wrath?
At that time, the leader would definitely be extremely grateful to him. Moreover, with Duan Ling Tian and Zhao An Yi as his backers, he would definitely have a promising future.
"Lord Zhao, when will it be convenient for you to come with me?" Sheng An asked.
Zhao An Yi pondered for a moment and said, "I'll inform the royal family first, and then, we can leave."
Not only was he looking after the Duan Residence, but he also needed to take care of his own people. If he wanted to leave, he had to ask for the royal family's help to look after his people and the people in Duan Residence.
Based on his close relationship with Duan Ling Tian, the royal family definitely would not refuse to help him.
Sure enough, after speaking to them, they even asked if he needed some powerhouses to accompany him.
In the end, for safety purposes, Zhao An Yi was accompanied by a level-seven Dao Establishment powerhouse from the royal family.
Sheng An was not surprised by the presence of an additional person. It was only normal for the royal family of the Surging River Divine Kingdom to send someone to escort the only son of their other Dao Merging powerhouse back.
During the journey, Sheng An told Zhao An Yi about Duan Nian Tian's situation there.
Before Zhao An Yi could speak, the powerhouse from the royal family gasped in shock. He could not believe that someone actually provoked Duan Ling Tian's only son; it was tantamount to seeking death.
Zhao An Yi's expression darkened and killing intent flashed in his eyes. In his eyes, Guo Qiu and Guo Li Li were as good as dead.
…
Sheng An led the way, so it did not take them long to arrive at Carefree Island.
"Lord Zhao, Carefree Island is just ahead... In the past, there was a Dao Merging powerhouse here, but the powerhouse had passed away peacefully 3,000 years ago. Now, the strongest powerhouses on the island are two level-nine Dao Establishment powerhouses."
"The Mountain Alliance is just an ordinary force in the Night Forest. Our leader is a level-four Dao Establishment powerhouse. As for our vice leader, Guo Qiu, he's only a level-three Dao Establishment powerhouse."
Soon, Sheng An brought Zhao An Yi to a remote island near the coast of the Night Forest, which was also the mining area occupied by the Mountain Alliance where Duan Nian Tian was imprisoned.
Seeing Sheng An return with two men, Xue Ping knew that Duan Nian Tian had been truthful; he was indeed the son of a Dao Merging powerhouse!
"Xue Ping, bring these two gentlemen to see Young Master Nian Tian," Sheng An urged. At the same time, he reminded Xue Ping via Voice Transmission, "They're both level-seven Dao Establishment powerhouses!"
Xue Ping's heart skipped a beat. He did not dare to be negligent and quickly led the duo to Duan Nian Tian. "My lords, please follow me."
"Nian Tian, do you still remember me?" Zhao An Yi had met Duan Nian Tian only once but he remembered the latter. Moreover, Duan Nian Tian resembled Duan Ling Tian greatly.
"You're... Uncle Zhao!" Duan Nian Tian naturally remembered Zhao An Yi. After all, the latter was a level-seven supreme powerhouse from the Azure Cloud Sect in the Outer Boundary. "You're right!" Zhao An Yi laughed. "Rest assured, you're safe now! I'm taking you home!"
Duan Nian Tian was naturally excited. He could finally hold his head up high.
