408: The gradually disappearing luck

"..."

Newton was actually quite speechless. Come to think of it, Darwin had asked for his help just to hold them off for a moment, so that the two worlds could connect and the dream world could gradually expand.

But now, with aonei luosi destroyed, Newton's mission... should be considered complete, right!

A flash of light swept through the cave, and a large group of monsters suddenly appeared. Standing to the side was Yang Jian, and of course, Hooke, who was lying on the ground, unable to take care of himself.

"My dear Sir Isaac Newton!"

Tang Ku slowly stood up, looked at him, and smiled, "Now, do you still wish to continue?"

Newton turned his head to glance at Tang Ku, but heard Yang Jian shout from the side, "You lot, get to the side!"

The group of monsters timidly retreated to the wall, and Bao Butong, the leader, even greeted Tang Ku.

Yang Jian pointed his Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade at Newton, and Great Immortal Zhenyuan floated down nearby. The two positioned themselves in a pincer Formation, locking onto Newton's position; if he dared to make another move, they would join forces against him.

Newton chuckled, "Outnumbering me? Hmm, that is one way to do it... but I have no interest in continuing to tangle with you here... Hmm, Tang Sanzang, is it? I have remembered you. You are the first person to injure me after I obtained such powerful strength. From now on, you will be on our organization's blacklist. If you encounter experts of my level, I advise you to run away; they are not as easy to talk to as I am... Oh, that's right, to tell you the truth, my mission to delay you has actually been completed!"

Tang Ku was full of question marks, and the others were also confused. Newton just smiled slightly, his body slowly levitating, and he cupped his hands to the crowd, saying, "Let's end it here for today, farewell!"

Yang Jian and Great Immortal Zhenyuan tried to stop him, but were suddenly pushed back over a hundred meters by an intangible force, while Newton suddenly accelerated and disappeared from their sight in an instant.

"That is the repulsive force within the Gravity Law!"

Tang Ku glanced at Great Immortal Zhenyuan and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "These scientists are truly terrifying; they use the Law with such perfection!"

Great Immortal Zhenyuan was silent for a moment, then said, "I am not interested in his power; what I care about is the last sentence he said before leaving..."

"That's right, he said his mission was already complete!" Yang Jian said in a deep voice, "We are clearly the winning side, so why do I feel like something is not quite right?"

"Let's go, return to the city and see!"

Tang Ku stood up and said, "I think that if something has gone wrong, there is a ninety percent chance it is in Chang'an..."

The others nodded. Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng said, "You all travel fast, so you should go back first. We two wouldn't be able to help against such a strong expert, so we will stay here to study the Materials and structure used to create this thing; perhaps it will be useful in the future!"

The leopard spirit Bao Butong hurriedly said, "Immortal, Immortal... then... what about us?"

Tang Ku frowned slightly, "You haven't committed any major crimes, so just stay here in Mang Mountain for now. When the matter in Chang'an is settled, I will come to find you, and at that time, I will give you an Opportunity. As for whether you can grasp it, that will depend on yourselves!"

Bao Butong hurriedly said, "Then... if I have something I need help with, can... can I go to Chang'an City to find you?"

Tang Ku smiled, "If you know the art of transformation or have fully shapeshifted, then just go. Remember not to scare people!"

Yuan Tiangang said, "This Fellow Daoist surnamed Bao is being too lighthearted. Chang'an City has a Formation specifically designed to prevent the Yao Race from intruding. If you want to go..."

He took a token from his bosom and threw it to the leopard spirit, "This is a token from the Si Tian Jian; it can mask Demonic Qi, so you will be able to enter and exit freely using this!"

Bao Butong was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him. Then he dragged Yuan Tiangang away to ask about Chang'an. Seeing there was nothing left to arrange, Tang Ku and the others set off back to Chang'an.

With the three of them traveling, they arrived almost in an instant. When they first arrived in Chang'an, the whole city was filled with wailing, but this sound revealed endless joy; it was the people of the whole city crying with joy after waking up from a nightmare and being liberated from the shadow of death.

Great Immortal Zhenyuan was a bit confused; he did not know exactly what had happened in the Chang'an of the dream world. Yang Jian and Tang Ku briefly described what had happened in the dream world to him one by one.

"In that case, the people of Chang'an City have truly suffered!" Great Immortal Zhenyuan said in a deep voice, "That Darwin is extremely insidious and cunning, but this plan was carried out so directly that it is hard to imagine whether he might have other conspiracies..."

In Chang'an City, apart from the crying and laughing of the people, there was almost nothing strange, which left several of them very puzzled. As they hovered over Chang'an City, Tang Ku felt that something was wrong, though he couldn't put his finger on it. Yet, he always felt that Chang'an was covered by a layer of haze, as if it could be dragged back into Hell at any moment.

This feeling made Tang Ku somewhat uneasy. His intuition told him that something must have happened in the imperial palace. Therefore, he did not answer Great Immortal Zhenyuan, but accelerated and flew towards the palace.

Sure enough, in the great hall where Tang Ku's Disciples were located, the atmosphere was quite heavy. Several people were surrounding Li Chengqian, their expressions very twisted and strange, as if they were between laughing and crying, and a bit incredulous. Li Shimin was sighing at the side, seemingly wanting to say something to his son, but unable to open his mouth.

Only Li Chengqian was staring blankly at his own hands, as if his Soul Emergence had occurred.

"What happened?"

Seeing this situation, Tang Ku's heart sank, and a bad premonition struck him, so he hurriedly asked.

Hearing this voice, Li Chengqian shuddered violently, then couldn't help but look up, saying with a mournful face, "Holy... Holy Monk... is gone!"

Tang Ku curled his lips, "I'm standing right here, for heaven's sake, I'm not lost!"

It is likely that there are not many people in this world who dare to talk to Li Chengqian like this.

"No, it's... it's... it's the imperial jade seal!" Li Chengqian was about to cry.

Tang Ku's mouth twitched, "...Are you sure you're not joking!"

"How could I joke about such a major matter!"

Li Chengqian smiled bitterly, "Just now I was still in the dream Chang'an, helping the Elders resist the natural disasters from the outside world. I didn't expect to return here in the blink of an eye, and the moment I returned, the imperial jade seal... was gone!"

Tang Ku's heart sank, and he couldn't help cursing, "Good job, Darwin. So this guy's real target was actually the imperial jade seal! No wonder he had Newton intercept us; it was all for this! No wonder I felt something was wrong just now; it turns out that Luck was slowly draining away..."
