War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens-Chapter 4696 Duan Nian Tian’s Leverage; A Favor from a Dao Merging Powerhouse

Xue Ping looked at Sheng An as he had only heard about the appearance of a second Dao Merging powerhouse in the Surging River Divine Kingdom from him. However, he had no idea about the details.

Sheng An stared sharply at Duan Nian Tian as he asked, "Duan Nian Tian, why are you asking about this? Are you implying that you have connections with that Dao Merging powerhouse just because you share the same surname and have almost similar names? Do you think you can deceive us?!"

Before Duan Nian Tian could respond, Xue Ping exclaimed in shock, "Almost similar names?"

Although Xue Ping had heard from Sheng An that the new Dao Merging powerhouse came from the world within the Life Creation Chart, he did not know the specifics. His curiosity was instantly piqued.

Sheng An glanced at Xue Ping and said, "The new Dao Merging powerhouse in the Surging River Divine Kingdom is said to have made a name for himself in the Surging River Divine Kingdom before he broke into the Dao Merging realm. His name is Duan Ling Tian, also known as the God Defying Sword."

Duan Ling Tian was not just famous in and around the Surging River Divine Kingdom, his reputation had also spread throughout various parts of the Divine Land, even to its remote corners. As such, even the Mountains Alliance knew about him and his achievements in the Surging River Divine Kingdom simply because he had become one of a few dozen Dao Merging powerhouses in the Divine Land.

"Duan Ling Tian?!" Xue Ping's eyes widened in shock.

Meanwhile, Duan Nian Tian who was standing next to Xue Ping trembled. Although he was mentally prepared, he could not contain his excitement when he confirmed that his father had broken through and become a Dao Merging powerhouse in less than 100 years after coming to the Divine Land!

Sheng An naturally noticed Duan Nian Tian's reaction. With his current strength, he could easily sense Duan Nian Tian's emotional fluctuations, which seemed like a genuine reaction.

"Their names are too similar, aren't they? It's just a one-word difference!" Xue Ping said. When he saw Duan Nian Tian's excitement, he asked, "Duan Nian Tian, you also come from the world within the Life Creation Chart, and your name is so similar to him... Are you really related to him?"

At this point, Duan Nian Tian had slightly calmed down. He looked at Xue Ping and earnestly said, "Lord Xue Ping, Duan Ling Tian is my father!"

Xue Ping and Sheng An looked at him in disbelief.

After Xue Ping regained his senses, he said, "It's impossible!"

He looked at Duan Nian Tian with a scrutinizing gaze and sneered. "Duan Nian Tian, you must have known about the news of that Dao Merging powerhouse in advance and lied to us, right?

"If you're the son of that Dao Merging powerhouse... Why would you be imprisoned by Miss Guo here?

"Even though he had only recently become a Dao Merging powerhouse, it's said that he was already a level-eight Dao Establishment powerhouse when he arrived in the Divine Land decades ago!"

He was suspicious of Duan Nian Tian. After all, even if Duan Ling Tian was only a level-four Dao Establishment powerhouse, Miss Guo would not have dared to provoke him since their vice leader, Guo Qiu, was only a level-three Dao Establishment powerhouse. Even their strongest powerhouse, the mysterious leader of the Mountains Alliance, was only a level-four Dao Establishment powerhouse.

Upon hearing Xue Ping's words, Sheng An's gaze on Duan Nian Tian also became somewhat skeptical. After all, what Xue Ping said made perfect sense. If Duan Nian Tian really had such a formidable father, would he have fallen to his current state? Would he be forced by the daughter of a mere level-three Dao Establishment powerhouse to this extent?

Duan Nian Tian did not panic. He was telling the truth after all. He smiled bitterly and said, "My lords, with Miss Guo's temperament, if I were to tell her that I have a father who is a level-eight Dao Establishment powerhouse, she would definitely think I'm lying! Even if she didn't think I was lying, by offending me in such a way, she would most likely choose to kill me to silence me!"

He added, "I wasn't with my father that time. In fact, I don't even know where he is in the Divine Land now. Even if I wanted him to help me, it would be like trying to quench one's thirst with distant water! Perhaps, if she intended to kill me, I might have said something. However, she didn't, so I could only choose to endure the humiliation to survive.

Duan Nian Tian looked helpless at the end of his words.

Before they could respond, Duan Nian Tian looked at them and said sincerely, "My lords, I'm not asking you to let me go now... After all, I have no evidence, so it's only normal for you to be suspicious of my words. But, I still hope that both of you will make a trip to the Surging River Divine Kingdom to verify this matter. I believe, if my father knew about my situation, he would definitely come to rescue me himself. At that time, both of you would also receive a favor from my father. A favor from a Dao Merging powerhouse should be good enough for you to give it a try…"

"Moreover, you'll only benefit from this matter. As long as you don't inform Miss Guo and clarify this matter secretly, even if it turns out I'm lying, you don't have to worry about offending Miss Guo."

Guo Li Li, known as Miss Guo by Xue Ping and the others, was the daughter of their vice leader, Guo Qiu.

Upon hearing Duan Nian Tian's words, Xue Ping and Sheng An exchanged a glance, and they both saw a spark of interest in each other's eyes. After all, this was an opportunity to gain a favor from a Dao Merging powerhouse!

In the past, in their eyes, their leader, who was a level-four Dao Establishment leader, was extremely powerful, an existence they looked up to. However, even their leader could not compare to a Dao Merging powerhouse. Gaining the favor of a Dao Merging powerhouse was undoubtedly a golden opportunity for them.

"I think we can give it a try. What do you think?" Xue Ping asked Sheng An through Voice Transmission. 𝐟reew𝗲b𝐧𝚘𝐯𝐞l.c𝚘m

"We can give it a try... It just so happens that I need to leave this place for a while, and the Surging River Divine Kingdom is on the way. I'll go and see if I can meet this Dao Merging powerhouse and verify Duan Nian Tian's words!"
