Chapter 4497: Poaching a Talent “Greetings, Senior Liu Yan,” Duan Ling Tian said to the old man.

After Duan Ling Tian defeated Qin Yun Yi and became the new Grand Revered Elder of the Duan clan, he had a long talk with Duan Tian Hong and learned more about the Yuan clan and the Myriad Trading House.

As such, he knew that Liu Yuan was the Deputy Master of the Myriad Trading House, a level-three supreme powerhouse like Duan Bing; the Clan Leader of the Duan clan, Chi Ming; the supreme demon, and Situ Lei.

“Ling Tian,” Liu Yan smiled warmly at Duan Ling Tian as he said, “The owner of the Myriad Trading House wants to meet you.

I wonder if you’re willing to meet him?” Duan Ling Tian was slightly surprised upon hearing this.

He knew that the Master of the Myriad Trading House, Chen Ru Fei, was a level-four supreme powerhouse and the second strongest person in the Myriad Trading House.

After a moment, Duan Ling Tian furrowed his brows slightly and said, “Senior Liu Yan, I’ve already joined the Duan clan.” It was not difficult for Duan Ling Tian to figure out that Chen Ru Fei wanted to recruit him to represent the Myriad Trading House to enter the Realm of Origin ten years later.

Now that he had joined the Duan clan, he knew it would be inappropriate for him to be acquainted with the Myriad Trading House.

He had no intention of switching to another force now.

If he was going to switch forces, it would be to a saint-rank force.

Duan Ling Tian decisively sent a message to Duan Tian Hong.

After all, a level-three supreme powerhouse like Liu Yan could easily kill him.

Although it was unlikely for Liu Yan to make a move against him, it was better to be safe than sorry.

“I come with no ill intentions,” Liu Yan said again as he shook his head when he sensed that Duan Ling Tian had sent a message.

After a beat, he added, “The Myriad Trading House is aware that you’ve joined the Duan clan.

There’s no need for you to be wary of us…” Meanwhile, Duan Tian Hong was relaxing and enjoying a cup of tea when he received Duan Ling Tian’s message.

He sprung to his feet immediately and vanished into thin air.

At the same time, he informed the other supreme powerhouses stationed in Tourmaline Holy City about the matter.

In just a short time, Duan Tian Hong and four other supreme powerhouses from the Duan clan appeared and stood in front of Duan Ling Tian.

All of them looked at Liu Yan with a displeased expression on their faces.

“Deputy Master Liu, Ling Tian is now our clan’s Grand Revered Elder.

Why would you still try to recruit him?” Duan Tian Hong asked, looking slightly dissatisfied.

Duan Tian Hong naturally knew the Myriad Trading House’s intention to snatch Duan Ling Tian away from the Duan clan.

Any demi-saint-rank force would be more than happy to have an advanced Supreme God who had comprehended the law of space to the perfect form and the Sword Dao to such a high level among their ranks.

The Duan clan was fortunate that Duan Ling Tian chose to join them due to their similar surnames.

Otherwise, the Duan clan would not have been able to compete with the Myriad Trading House in terms of the benefits and privileges they could offer.

Liu Yan looked at Duan Tian Hong and said indifferently, “Duan Tian Hong, a talented person will choose a patron of integrity.

This has been the case since ancient times.

Moreover, he has just joined the Duan clan yesterday and has yet to benefit from joining the clan.

The only thing he’s received is a meaningless title, right? In any case, if he chooses to join the Myriad Trading House, we’re more than willing to compensate the Duan clan generously on his behalf…” Wealth was nothing to the Myriad Trading House.

Moreover, spending a small fortune in exchange for Duan Ling Tian was a good deal for the Myriad Trading House.

The expressions of Duan Tian Hong and the other supreme powerhouses from the Duan clan turned sour upon hearing these words.

“Liu Yan, do you think the Duan clan is a pushover?” a supreme powerhouse next to Duan Tian Hong said indignantly.

His eyes were like knives when he looked at Liu Yan.

At the same time, Duan Tian Hong bellowed, “Liu Yan!” Following that, a terrifying energy swept out into the surroundings, stirring up a sandstorm and causing the buildings nearby to shake.

At the same time, the ground shook before cracks began to appear like cobwebs.

At the same time, the other four supreme powerhouses from the Duan clan glared at Liu Yan, ready to mobilize their energy as well.

Liu Yan scoffed.

“Just because there are five of you, you think you’re a match for me?” A level-two supreme powerhouse and four level-one supreme powerhouses were naturally no match for a level-three supreme powerhouse.

At this critical moment, Duan Ling Tian also knew that it was time for him to make his stance clear.

He stepped forward and stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Duan Tian Hong and the others.

However, before Duan Ling Tian could speak, an indifferent voice rang from outside Tourmaline Holy City.

“They might not be a match for you, but what about me?” Following that, Duan Tian Hong withdrew his energy.

After all, reinforcement had finally arrived.

At the same time, the other supreme powerhouses from the Duan clan sighed in relief inwardly.

Swoosh! A gust of wind blew past before a figure suddenly appeared in front of Duan Ling Tian and the others, directly facing Liu Yan.
