CHAPTER 1304: CHAPTER 1278: REUNION

Tangyu brought Lin Feifei and the others back to the Princess Apartments, and their families also hurried over, making the Princess Apartments instantly bustling with activity, directly packed full of people.

Some of Tangyu’s friends heard of his return and also rushed over. Seeing one familiar face after another, friend by friend, also greatly lifted Tangyu’s spirits. This kind of feeling was especially strong.

The lively atmosphere lasted half a day before everyone gradually left, leaving time and space for Tangyu and Lin Feifei and the others.

Meanwhile, the mysterious disappearance of over two thousand girls was entirely resolved, causing a sensation throughout Donglin City. A problem that no factions could handle was suddenly resolved, and the major media outlets and various powers immediately surged forward, chasing the rescued girls for answers.

When told that the one who rescued them was the Divine Doctor Tangyu, the entire Donglin City was astir. This news instantly spread like wildfire online; Divine Doctor Tang, who had been missing for over four years, had returned. Moreover, upon his return, he accomplished a world-shaking feat. Over the years, rumors about Divine Doctor Tang never ceased. This time, once again, Divine Doctor Tang became the center of everyone’s discussions.

Numerous media reporters and some fervent fans also swarmed in, tightly surrounding the Princess Apartments, making it hard to move through.

The police department had no choice but to dispatch a large number of officers to maintain order at the scene. Lin Guotai also dispatched a large number of security personnel to guard the Princess Apartments, preventing anyone from breaking in. Yet, no one was willing to leave, and the number of people kept increasing. In less than an hour, the surroundings of the Princess Apartments were packed with thousands of people, resembling a massive concert, creating an incredibly heated scene.

Such a situation made Tangyu smile wryly and helplessly; he could only stay inside, reuniting with Lin Feifei and the others, chatting and sharing stories from these past four-plus years.

If there was any change, it was that in these past four-plus years, Zhao Yaya, Xia Xiaoyu, and Xiao Yudie had matured significantly, each becoming a grown woman. Although they no longer had their previous innocent charm, they had grown more womanly.

This reunion was a blessing for Tangyu; it was the kind of life he always wanted. However, he couldn’t yet live such a life; he still had many things left undone. His most fervent pursuit was still seeking immortality and the Immortal Realm.

-------

In the small world created by Feng Xiao, the figures of Wan Yang and the other three landed within, looking at the mess around them, and at Feng Xiao’s dead body on the ground, their expressions were indescribably grim.

Wan Yang examined Feng Xiao’s corpse, furrowing his brow deeply: "With just a single Sword Qi, Feng Xiao was cleanly and neatly slain. Such formidable strength. This power is likely on par with mine. On Earth, does such a formidable force really remain hidden? Why haven’t we discovered it?"

The other three also appeared sullen: "Indeed, so powerful. With just one sword, Feng Xiao was killed. No wonder Feng Xiao only had time to send us a distress signal. Who would have thought that within this small world, such immense power was hidden. Since this person killed Feng Xiao, it seems he won’t spare us either. Or rather, he’s already set his sights on us."

"Hmm, who?"

As soon as the words fell, the four of them turned their heads in unison, looking behind them at a figure standing there, grinning at them. It was none other than Sun Wukong, whom Tangyu had left here to lie in wait.

"A monkey? A presence of the Zifu Realm, who are you?"

"Did you kill Feng Xiao?"

Wan Yang and the other three looked at Sun Wukong with both caution and anger, shouting in unison.

Sun Wukong grinned, playing with his Jingu Bang: "It wasn’t me who killed him, but I was waiting here for you to walk right into it. You five dared to cause trouble on Earth, so you must be prepared to die. Tangyu told me to kill you all, so you’re all going to die."

"Tangyu, who is Tangyu?" The four were puzzled and confused until Wan Yang quickly remembered: "Tangyu, the Tangyu from those martial artists’ words, who left Earth over four years ago, supposedly went to the Cultivation World. Could it be that he’s back? But—how could it be, in just over four years, even having gone to the Cultivation World, how could his strength reach such a Realm?"

Sun Wukong said, "I’m too lazy to waste words with you, just die!"

With that, Sun Wukong swung his staff down at the four. He didn’t attack with full strength. Wan Yang and the other three sensed that things were not good, so they had already exchanged glances, secretly planning an all-out attack. When Sun Wukong struck, they too went all out, even using several treasures. Their combined power instantly reached a terrifying level, and their destructive attack caused this small world to collapse immediately.

This frightening power destroyed the small world, allowing the energy to leak out, causing a massive explosion at the abandoned factory, which shattered into countless pieces and flew outward. This explosion naturally affected the surroundings. Although this was in the suburbs and sparsely populated, there were quite a few factories around, and this massive disturbance immediately caused a wave of panic.

One by one, figures rushed out quickly, looking over here in extreme fear.

Sun Wukong hadn’t expected that the four would go all-in so fiercely from the start, so he was at a disadvantage and suffered a loss after just one confrontation.

Wan Yang said, "This monkey’s strength is not simple, and the Tangyu he mentioned is also not an easy character. We should avoid prolonged battles, retreat quickly, and leave here first."

The other three also agreed with Wan Yang’s words, knowing that a hard fight would not be to their advantage. After landing a strike, they directly wanted to escape, having no intention to engage in a prolonged battle with Sun Wukong.

"Don’t flee, leave your old Sun here!" Sun Wukong emerged from a pile of ruins covered in golden light, chasing after Wan Yang and the other three.

At this moment, countless eyes watched Sun Wukong and the five in the sky, expressing shock and screaming.

"Oh my heavens, how can those people fly in the air?"

"What’s happening, what’s going on?"

"Honey, honey, look, look, there are people flying in the sky! Is that an immortal? Look, look, doesn’t that look so much like Sun Wukong?"

"Darling, don’t be silly, they must be shooting a movie, maybe something like Sun Wukong’s battle against urban monsters. Movies nowadays are nonsense, how can people fly?"

"But—it doesn’t look like they’re shooting a film, there are no helicopters, no visible wires, and so many are flying. Look at their powers, each move is so dazzling, so terrifying."

"That’s true, it doesn’t look like a movie, but could it be real? Oh dear, we better run."

Many people took out their phones and started filming, with numerous photos quickly circulating online. Once online, it immediately caused a huge stir, with countless discussions spreading rapidly, even videos emerged.

Of course, many people thought it was for a TV shoot, but many also believed it was real.

Journalists from major media outlets and the police began rushing over, wanting to verify if the news was true.

After Sun Wukong suffered a major loss and tried to chase them again, it was already a bit late. Wan Yang and the other three were determined to escape, using some treasures to teleport away instantly, leaving Sun Wukong unable to pursue, making him feel helpless as he flashed away in a streak of light.

Photos and videos rapidly went viral online, causing an uproar in Huaxia Country, even shocking those in the Capital City, prompting the Ministry of State Security to launch an investigation into the matter.

Soon, confirmed reports began emerging online.

Firstly, it was indeed not a film shoot. Secondly, based on the extent of the damage on site, the power is astonishingly large, equivalent to the explosion power of an intercontinental missile. Thirdly, after photo processing, it indeed showed a person who looked very much like Sun Wukong, and not a dressed-up version.

These reports quickly swept the internet, with major media outlets trying to trace the events, as various departments investigated the matter. Every police officer in Donglin City was busy, and many departments collaborated in investigating these events.

Donglin City fell into an extremely lively state, with countless voices appearing online.

Many people speculated on the existence of immortals in this world, with many wishing to meet an immortal, spreading a wave across Huaxia Country. Even foreign media paid great attention. The Capital City also treated it with high regard, sending multiple work teams to Donglin City.

Amidst the storm and rain outside, Tangyu couldn’t be bothered. She was in the Princess Apartments with Lin Feifei and the others, chatting endlessly.

Sun Wukong returned, Tangyu looked over and asked, "What? They got away?"

Sun Wukong scratched his head with some embarrassment and said, "It was old Sun’s carelessness, they all escaped, not catching a single one. Damn, damn, they fooled me this time; I will not let them off."

Tangyu smirked, waved her hand, and said, "Forget it, leave it be for now. They’re probably hiding somewhere now. No rush, I’ll drag them out one by one. The Earth is only so big, they can’t hide far. Right now, the most important thing for me is to have a few quiet days at home."

Xiao Yu said helplessly, "Quiet days? You’re probably going to struggle with that. It’s already gone crazy outside, with numerous reports exploding online. This matter is probably hard to deal with. Sun Wukong’s battle has already spread online, various factions are investigating the matter, and the Capital has mobilized significant security forces."

Tangyu pursed her lips dismissively and said, "Forget about it, it’s nothing. These things will be public sooner or later. Taoism Cultivation is also a kind of civilization, and this civilization can indeed spread on Earth. It’s just a matter of finding the right timing. Let it be for now."
