Chapter 321: Chapter 272: New Guardian Gods of Dongli Kingdom

Dongli’s capital, Dongping City.

Within the Limin Association Headquarters was a secluded, quiet courtyard. It was a restricted area of the association, and no one would normally disturb the peace here.

In the courtyard, an old man with white eyebrows and a white beard was lying on a rocking chair, blissfully dozing.

Suddenly, the old man sat up, a hint of confusion in his brow.

As the Saint Envoy sent to Dongli by a Sovereign Country, one of his duties was to protect Dongli. Thus, his spiritual senses constantly covered the entire capital.

Any energy fluctuations at the Saint level within Dongping City would be immediately detected by him.

This was also why the Saint-level experts of the Filth Earth Organization dared not enter the capitals of the six kingdoms.

Just then, the Dongli Saint Envoy sensed two auras at the Saint-level Overlord tier flying toward the center of Dongping City at extreme speed, making no attempt to conceal themselves.

The Saint Envoy closed his eyes and focused his senses for a moment. Suddenly, the expression on his face relaxed.

"It’s those two kids? They’re already Saint-level?

"Eighteen-year-old Overlords... Tsk, tsk. I guess I can’t deny I’m getting old!"

The old man closed his eyes again and lay back down in the rocking chair.

The bamboo rocking chair swayed gently.

...

Besides the Saint Envoy, the second person in Dongping City to sense Su Ze and Mr. Ya was Zhou Wenshan.

As a Spiritual-type Overlord, his sensory range was much greater than that of the others.

However, he couldn’t confirm the identities of Su Ze and Mr. Ya, nor did he dare to jump to that conclusion. He assumed it was Overlords from another country arriving uninvited.

Such uninvited guests were often up to no good.

He immediately notified the other Overlords within Dongli’s borders: Gu Chengguang, Li Fayi, and Sun Xiayun.

The four Overlords gathered and flew out to meet Su Ze and Mr. Ya.

But as the two drew closer, Zhou Wenshan’s expression turned strange.

His Spiritual Power had already captured the faces of Su Ze and Mr. Ya.

’Is that them?’

’How did they become Saints?’

’What kind of cosmic joke is this?!’

’It’s only been a short while! They go on one trip and come back home as a pair of Saints?’

Su Ze’s Spiritual Power was strong, and it wasn’t long before he also spotted Gu Chengguang and the other three in the distance.

"They’re already coming to welcome us. Their information network is pretty good."

He and Mr. Ya accelerated, appearing before the four of them in the blink of an eye.

"Su Ze?"

"Yargha!"

"It’s you two!"

Aside from Zhou Wenshan, the other three couldn’t help but cry out in shock. Even the ever-composed Gu Chengguang was completely astonished.

"Mr. Gu, Mr. Zhou, Mr. Li, Mrs. Sun," Su Ze said with a grin, greeting them one by one.

The jump in seniority was incredibly smooth and seamless.

Mr. Ya clearly hadn’t adjusted to his change in status yet. The moment he saw these Guardian Gods of Dongli, he subconsciously put on a fawning smile.

But with Su Ze setting an example, he followed his lead, wiping the ingratiating smile from his face. He straightened his back and greeted the Dongli Overlords with a polite nod and a smile.

’This kid changes fast...’ The four Dongli Overlords all felt their mouths twitch. Before, it was always "Uncle" this and "Grandpa" that, and now it was all "Mr. Gu," "Mr. Zhou"...

Only Mrs. Yun was already used to it. For this rebellious kid, not calling her by her full name was a sign of respect.

A smile spread across Gu Chengguang’s face. He didn’t seem to mind Su Ze’s form of address and said happily, "Dongli has gained two more Guardian Gods! This is a joyous occasion worthy of celebration!"

Mrs. Yun had known the two were aiming to break through to the Saint level on this trip, so she wasn’t too surprised. Li Fayi, however, couldn’t hold back his curiosity. "What kind of miracle elixir did you two take? How did your evolution levels rise so fast?!"

Before Su Ze and Mr. Ya could answer, Gu Chengguang interrupted, "Let’s save the questions for later. Come, let’s go sit in my courtyard first. I still have two tins of good tea there. We can talk while we drink."

Gu Chengguang had a good idea of what had happened. Su Ze and Mr. Ya’s rapid progress was likely related to the alien spaceship from before.

...

In the courtyard where Gu Chengguang usually lived, the Overlords sat around a stone table.

Su Ze was no stranger to this place. He had stayed here for the first few days after arriving in Dongli.

Back then, he had only been at the lowly Pupa Stage. In the blink of an eye, he had become a Saint-level Overlord. It gave him a strange feeling that while the place was the same, everything else had changed.

Counting the time, he had been in Dongli for... it had only been less than ten months!

’So I’ve been in Dongli for less than a year? From the Pupa Stage after the first evolution to a Saint-level Overlord after the fourth evolution in just over nine months... I really am diligent and hardworking!’

A middle-aged man in a sharp suit brewed tea for them.

This man was Gu Chengguang’s new secretary. Su Ze couldn’t help but ask curiously, "Where’s Zhang Tai?"

Gu Chengguang said, "He’s currently focused on breaking through to the fourth evolution. To avoid distracting him, I had him temporarily hand over all his duties to others."

Su Ze suddenly wanted to see the look on Zhang Tai’s face when he found out that he and Mr. Ya had become Overlords before him.

Back then, Su Ze had deliberately put pressure on Zhang Tai, telling him that if he didn’t hurry up, he and Mr. Ya might just become Saints before him.

He never expected his words to become a prophecy!

"Since you two are now Overlords, that makes you Guardian Gods of Dongli. First, I’ll add you to the ’Dongli Guardian Gods’ group chat."

As Gu Chengguang spoke, he sent group invitations to the two of them.

Su Ze and Mr. Ya immediately joined the chat. Including the two of them, there were now seven people in the group—exactly the seven Saint-level Overlords of Dongli.

Su Ze and Mr. Ya immediately changed their chat nicknames to their own names.

This immediately caught the attention of Ning Yushen, the only one who wasn’t present.

[Ning Yushen: Mr. Gu, what are you doing adding these two kids to the group?]
