Chapter 4498: The City Governor of Tourmaline Holy City
A middle-aged man with a medium build dressed in a long green robe appeared and looked at Liu Yan, the Deputy Master of the Myriad Trading House, indifferently.
At this time, the four supreme powerhouses of the Duan clan also greeted the middle-aged man respectfully, “Elder Wu Yang.”
Upon hearing this, Duan Ling Tian knew that the other party was Duan Wu Yang, the Grand Elder of the Duan clan’s Enforcement Hall. He was a level-three supreme powerhouse like Duan Bing, the Clan Leader of the Duan clan.
…
At the same time, the onlookers who were aware of Duan Wu Yang’s identity gasped.
“The Grand Elder of the Duan clan’s Enforcement Hall is here! He’s one of the Duan clan’s pillars of strength!”
“Don’t you know who the Duan clan’s members are facing? He’s Liu Yan, the Deputy Master of the Myriad Trading House. He’s on par with Duan Wu Yang!”
“Are the Duan clan and the Myriad Trading House going to have a confrontation here?”
“What’s all this commotion about? I just arrived. Can someone fill me in?”
“It seems like they’re fighting over that young man! Wait! He must be the prodigy, Duan Ling
Tian, who became famous in Tourmaline Holy City very recently!”
“Duan Ling Tian? The new Grand Revered Elder of the Duan clan?”
The onlookers shifted their eyes to Duan Ling Tian in unison.
Meanwhile, Duan Wu Yang and Liu Yan stared at each other intently as their energies surged.
“Duan Wu Yang…” Liu Yan called out. If one looked close enough, one would see a trace of fear in the depths of his eyes when he looked at Duan Wu Yang. Although they were both level-three supreme powerhouses, he knew that Duan Wu Yang was stronger than him. Although Duan Wu Yang became a level-three supreme powerhouse later than him, in the past, Duan Wu Yang had fought a level-three supreme powerhouse to a draw when Duan Wu Yang was at the zenith of the second level. Apart from that, Duan Wu Yang comprehended a law that was superior to the law he comprehended and also had a profound comprehension of one of the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth.
Duan Wu Yang and Liu Yan’s energies continued to struggle against each other. It was clear that a fight would break out soon.
Suddenly…
A scoff rang in the air before an icy voice rang in the air. The voice was loud and powerful.
“Take your fight somewhere else! Tourmaline Holy City isn’t a battleground!”
The onlookers began to fervently discuss among themselves as soon as the voice fell.
“This voice seems to have come from the City Governor’s estate…”
“It’s the City Governor of Tourmaline Holy City! He’s the former leader of the Seven Saints of Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion!”
“I’ve long heard about the City Governor! However, he’s really mysterious! I’ve never even heard his voice until today, let alone see him!”
“Rumor has it that he’s infinitely close to becoming a demi Saint…”
“I also heard that three members of the Seven Saints from that time have already become demi Saints. If the City Governor didn’t get injured during an expedition in the Realm of Origin, he would’ve already become a demi Saint by now. He was their former leader after all!”
Not long after the voice fell, a powerful but old-sounding voice echoed in the city.
“City Governor, please calm down. The Myriad Trading House has no intention of fighting the
Duan clan. Liu Yan, come back!”
Liu Yan looked at Duan Wu Yang for a moment before he finally left without saying a word. In fact, as soon as the mysterious City Governor of Tourmaline Holy City spoke, he was already prepared to take a step back. Even the Myriad Trading House would not be able to protect him from the City Governor of Tourmaline Holy City. After all, the City Governor of Tourmaline Holy City was not just an ordinary disciple of the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion; his master was a Saint in the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion!
After Liu Yan left, Duan Wu Yang looked at Duan Ling Tian with an awkward smile and asked, “Grand Revered Elder Ling Tian, would you like to follow me back to the Duan clan?”
“I’ll have to trouble you then, Elder Wu Yang,” Duan Ling Tian said.
Duan Ling Tian did not plan to stay in Tourmaline Holy City any longer. He did not expect to cause a commotion that needed the intervention of the City Governor of Tourmaline Holy City. Nonetheless, he did not regret sending a message to Duan Tian Hong. After all, if the Myriad Trading House had no scruples, he would have been in danger.
Before leaving, Duan Wu Yang said to one of the supreme powerhouses of the Duan clan, “Repair the damages here.”
The latter mobilized his energy and quickly restored everything with his law of earth.
Once again, Duan Ling Tian could not help but marvel over the strength of supreme powerhouses.
‘Supreme powerhouses’ Divine Energies are truly different and more important than the laws they comprehend. An advanced Supreme God like me who comprehends the law of earth can also repair these damages, but it’s impossible to restore everything to such a perfect state in such a short time!’
The level-one supreme powerhouse from the Duan clan who comprehended the law of earth left an impression on Duan Ling Tian. Although he was only a level-one supreme powerhouse, he could easily kill Duan Ling Tian with just a slap.
Duan Ling Tian continued thinking to himself, ‘Among those below the realm of supreme powerhouses, perhaps only a peerless top advanced Supreme God has a chance of surviving an attack from a level-one supreme powerhouse…’
After that, before leaving, Duan Ling Tian did not forget to say to Duan Tian Hong through Voice Transmission, “Elder Tian Hong, I apologize for troubling you. Will the City Governor blame you for this?”
“Rest assured,” Duan Tian Hong replied through Voice Transmission, “The City Governor rarely leaves his residence. Moreover, that was just a warning. We didn’t make a move after all.”
Despite Duan Tian Hong’s words, Duan Ling Tian could clearly sense the unease and fear in Duan Tian Hong’s voice when Duan Tian Hong mentioned the City Governor of Tourmaline Holy City.
After Duan Ling Tian and Tan Xiu Teng left Tourmaline Holy City with Duan Wu Yang for the Duan clan’s estate, Duan Tian Hong, the Duan clan’s supreme powerhouses, and the onlookers left as well.
Nonetheless, the onlookers were still discussing the matter among themselves.
“It seems like the new Grand Revered Elder of the Duan clan isn’t just an ordinary prodigy… Otherwise, the Myriad Trading House wouldn’t have bothered to recruit him even after he joined the Duan clan!”
“Even if he’s not a peerless top advanced Supreme God, he should be very close to becoming one… Otherwise, the Myriad Trading House would not resort to such a desperate measure.”
“It seems like the Duan clan has found a gem!”
Unbeknownst to Duan Ling Tian, while he was making his way to the Duan clan’s estate, a new rumor began to spread in Tourmaline Holy City.
“There’s suspicion that the new Grand Revered Elder of the Duan clan is the person who obtained a number of Blissful Flower Kings and lord-grade Northern Nether Winter Cod from the Peaceful Might Realm’s Zhong clan and Leng clan respectively!”
Unsurprisingly, this rumor shook Tourmaline Holy City. At the same time, the rumor of the supreme treasures also quickly aroused the greed of many people in the city. .
