A Decade Later

"Heavens! As it turns out, the new Grand Revered Elder of the Duan clan is that person who has the nine stalks of Blissful Flower Kings and three lord-grade Northern Nether Winter Cod!"

"How unexpected! Alas, it'd be difficult to move against him now that he has joined the Duan clan!"

"Only a fool would be willing to offend the Duan clan, a demi-saint-rank force, for nine stalks of Blissful Flower Kings and three lord-grade Northern Nether Winter Cod!"

"There are rumors that Duan Ling Tian has a powerful background. However, no one knows which force he originally came from… Nonetheless, now that he has joined the Duan clan, the clan definitely won't let anyone lay a finger on him!"

Just like that, Duan Ling Tian became a hot topic in Tourmaline Holy City.

Most people could no longer target Duan Ling Tian since it would implicate the forces behind them if the Duan clan took action.
