"The Taoist Research Institute has been empty for almost a month."
"Mr. Gu hasn't shown up either."
"It's rare for him to be gone for this long. The longest he was away before was no more than half a month."
"Something must have happened over there. Did Mr. Gu and the others run into a powerful enemy?"
"We don't know the situation, and we can't help. We should have had them take a few strategic weapons with them."
"Get real. Against opponents who can fly through the sky, burrow into the earth, and turn intangible, strategic weapons would be useless."
"Nothing bad happened to them, right?"
"The chances of that are low. After all, they can travel between worlds, but their enemies can't. And I'm sure they wouldn't go out of their way to provoke a powerful foe. As for an enemy attack..."
"If they can't win, they can still run, can't they?"
Just as the Taoist Office was discussing the matter, they received a message from Yangcheng.
"The Daoists are back."
"Daoists?"
