Chapter 672: The Twin Saint Sons of the Reincarnation Holy Land — Sikong Lie and Sikong Yang
That entire scene left Shen Mo and the other two somewhat stunned.
Goodness.
They had never seen anyone so shamelessly familiar.
Wasn't this young girl supposed to be the Saintess of the Divine Flame Sect?
Why did she show not a shred of restraint?
Hic~
Li Yunlong let out a hiccup, patted her flat chest, and gave a cheeky grin. "Think I don't look like a Saintess?"
"Who says a Saintess has to be tall, beautiful, with a big chest and long legs?"
She scoffed, "Stereotypes!"
Lei Zizhen and Shi Tianhao both chuckled awkwardly.
Shen Mo, however, remained indifferent.
Li Yunlong looked at Shen Mo a few more times, seeming somewhat curious about him.
Just as she was about to speak—
Several cultivators from the Divine Flame Sect rushed up to the pavilion.
"Saintess, please come back!"
"Saintess, the Sect Master is angry!"
"Saintess…"
The cultivators were clearly helpless but still spoke in soft, pleading tones.
Li Yunlong pouted. "Alright, alright, I'll go."
She turned to Lei Zizhen. "Hey, Lei clan brat—our Divine Flame Sect came all this way to help. How are you planning to repay us?"
Lei Zizhen could only respond with an awkward smile.
Shi Tianhao said calmly, "Zizhen is merely the young master—he has no authority to discuss compensation."
"And you, as the Saintess of the Divine Flame Sect, are not its Sect Master either."
Li Yunlong glared at him and gave a cold snort. "I don't like you. Annoying."
With that, she turned and left with the Divine Flame Sect cultivators surrounding her.
Lei Zizhen gave a look of gratitude. "Thank you, Tianhao."
Shi Tianhao smiled. "We're friends. This is what I should do."
Lei Zizhen was all the more moved by his words.
Shen Mo watched the entire exchange silently, his expression calm and unmoved.
This was simply one of Shi Tianhao's tactics.
Though he had offended Li Yunlong, he earned Lei Zizhen's friendship—a connection that would bring many future benefits.
After a pause, Lei Zizhen pointed to two figures in the distance.
"Look—those two tall youths are the Twin Saint Sons of the Reincarnation Holy Land."
"The older brother is Sikong Lie, and the younger is Sikong Yang. They're twins."
Shen Mo glanced at them briefly, then lost interest.
The two also sensed the gaze from Shen Mo's group and looked back with mild interest, but did not linger.
"Where's the Dongli Dynasty? Why haven't they arrived yet?" Shi Tianhao asked curiously.
Lei Zizhen answered in a low voice, "The Dongli Dynasty is the nominal ruler of East Province. Naturally, they'll arrive last."
"Their Sword Prince, Li Zangfeng, is also said to be the strongest of all East Province prodigies."
Shi Tianhao grew thoughtful. "How much do you know about him?"
Lei Zizhen gave a bitter smile. "Very little."
"I heard that right after reaching the Nirvana Realm, he was taken into the chaotic void by a Dongli Supreme for training."
"He nearly died in the void on several occasions."
"But it's because of that, his strength is said to be unmatched."
Lei Zizhen sighed. "If it were me, I'd never dare set foot in chaotic void."
Shi Tianhao smiled faintly to himself.
After all, he had wandered the chaotic void for a long time and survived numerous perils—only by coincidence had he ended up in East Province.
Judging by that experience alone, he was probably on par with the Sword Prince.
Buzz… buzz… buzz!
Just then, Shen Mo noticed that the ornamental weapons hanging on the pavilion wall had begun to vibrate.
As if ordinary weapons had sensed the presence of a sovereign.
A subtle shift stirred in Shen Mo's heart. He looked toward the sky outside the window.
Lei Zizhen and Shi Tianhao sensed the anomaly a few moments later and also turned to gaze outside.
As expected—
A majestic, resplendent golden greatsword swept across the sky.
On its back stood hundreds of cultivators from the Dongli Dynasty!
Shen Mo immediately spotted the black-robed young cultivator.
He resembled an unsheathed sword piercing the heavens.
The razor-sharp aura emanating from him, combined with the noble bearing of a royal descendant, naturally drew every eye toward him.
People admired him, were captivated by him, and found themselves involuntarily drawn to him.
As Shen Mo glanced around, he noticed that many female cultivators had already cast their gazes toward the black-robed youth.
It wasn't hard to understand why.
This man was the Sword Prince of the Dongli Dynasty.
At present, the Dongli Emperor had more than a thousand princes.
Some of them, lacking talent or advanced in age, had died before their father.
The eldest prince was over eight thousand years old—already white-haired and aged.
Meanwhile, the youngest prince had only just been born and couldn't even speak.
Yet among these thousand-plus princes, Li Zangfeng's position was unshakable.
No one could rival his renown as the Sword Prince.
Unless something unexpected occurred, Li Zangfeng would succeed the throne and become the next Dongli Emperor.
With such imperial blood, everyone naturally wanted to curry favor with him.
Even a mere trace of what Li Zangfeng might casually cast from his fingers would be enough to bring immense benefit to ordinary cultivators.
However, Li Zangfeng clearly held himself in great esteem.
Ordinary cultivators had no chance of catching his attention.
Only those on the same level of talent and prestige might earn a few extra glances.
But no more than a few.
As the leading genius of the Eastern Province, Li Zangfeng had every right to look down on his peers.
"Hm? More arrivals?" Lei Zizhen looked up at the sky.
He suddenly noticed two more streaks of light.
And these were traveling far faster than even the sects like Dongli Dynasty or the Creation Heaven Sect.
One moment, they were still ten thousand miles away.
The next, they appeared directly over Thunder Saint City.
A massive white elephant.
A colossal purple fox.
The two beasts were so enormous, they practically filled the entire sky.
Cultivators were stunned.
These two possessed vast, boundless auras—clearly not Nirvana Realm cultivators. They had to be Supremes.
Yet to everyone's knowledge, there were no Supreme-level beast clans in the Eastern Province.
Lei Zhonghe was astonished and went out to greet them. "May I ask who the two Seniors are…"
The purple fox answered calmly, "Blood God Beast Court, Hu Qing."
The white elephant's voice boomed, "Sanctuary of Ten Thousand Elephants, Xiang Gu."
"We were traveling across the Eastern Province and heard that the Thunder Prison Clan was facing trouble. We've come to offer assistance."
At that, the cultivators of the Thunder Prison Clan felt a rush of warmth in their hearts.
When the Eastern Province is in crisis, the Southern Heavens responds!
As expected of a Holy Land!
Lei Zhonghe gave a deep, formal bow. "Many thanks, Supreme Xiang Gu. Supreme Hu Qing."
"Please, come with me."
"Very well."
Xiang Gu flickered and vanished instantly.
Hu Qing said calmly, "I have a junior I'd like to entrust to the Thunder Prison Clan. When the Thousandfold Thunder Prison opens, let her enter and temper herself."
Lei Zhonghe nodded solemnly. "Understood."
In the next moment, a petite, white-haired girl appeared in the martial arena.
Immediately, many cultivators turned their attention toward her.
The white-haired girl quickly pulled a hood over her head, covering her hair, ears, and face.
Inside the pavilion—
Lei Zizhen looked on in surprise.
Shen Mo raised a brow.
This Supreme Beast Xiang Gu was from the Sanctuary of Ten Thousand Elephants in the Southern Islands.
Supreme Hu Qing hailed from the Blood God Beast Court.
And that white-haired girl—he recognized her at once.
It was Hu Xinyue, whom he had met several times before.
"How interesting," Shen Mo murmured with a faint smile.
He hadn't expected to encounter someone from the distant Southern Heavens here in the Eastern Province.
Then again, only Supremes could so easily traverse such immense distances.
After all, they could roam freely through the chaotic void.
