It's just a short four words, but it is no less than a thunderbolt that exploded in everyone's ears, and everyone's eyes widened and looked at Zhang Hanguang in disbelief.

“…… Demon King?! ”

The hall was suddenly filled with a solemn silence.

Zuo Ling was the first to come back to his senses from the shock, he frowned, and asked Zhang Hanguang worriedly.

"Hanyang Zhenren, when did this happen?"

It seemed that Zhang Hanguang was not ready to hide it, so he replied directly: "The news found out by the spies of the Zhang family yesterday, but the specific situation is not clear, so the old man sent a group of people to search while contacting the Dharma Palace, and the rest of the family is also looking for information about the demon king before." ”

Therefore, there will be so few talents in the Zhang family, and the rest will be busy one by one.

Listening to Zhang Hanguang's voice, although several people slowly woke up from the shock, this incident was too much to imagine, causing their faces to be terrifying.

Especially Zhang Longqian.

Just after dealing with a group of wolf kings from the demon world, when she heard Zhang Hanguang say "demon king", her first reaction was actually "wolf king", and then she remembered that the wolf king had died six hundred years ago, and the demon king she was talking about now should be another monster.

The other one, the big youkai that can make all youkai surrender.

Including Kono.

Even if Zhang Longqian didn't fully understand what the Demon King meant like Bai Lu and the others, as long as she remembered the horror of Gano, and then realized that the Demon King was a monster that even Ganono had to surrender, she would be cold.

At least she could understand that the "Demon King" was definitely a monster so powerful that everyone would be afraid of him.

In the silence, Zuo Ling spoke again.

"If the Demon King appears, it is indeed an extremely serious matter, but I don't understand, Hanyang Zhenren, what does this have to do with what you said that you 'have no time'?"

She still has time, but the old man has no time.

That's what Zhang Hanguang said.

Obviously, what he meant was that he didn't have time at the moment, but Zhang Longqian still had time, so the matter of the Five Elements Sword didn't have to be dealt with immediately.

However, even if the Demon King's matter is too urgent, if you want to deal with the Demon King, you must have detailed information about it, and to obtain the information will inevitably consume a lot of manpower and time, no matter what, it is by no means something that can be solved overnight, even if you are in a hurry, it is useless.

From this point of view, Zhang Hanguang's sentence "There is no time" is a little strange to think, could it be that he is just using this as an excuse not to help Zhang Longqian?

In Zuo Ling's puzzled gaze, Zhang Hanguang sighed softly and said, "Because at this time, another worse thing happened. ”

"What could be worse than the appearance of the Demon King?"

Raising his eyes to look at everyone, Zhang Hanguang's gaze was even more solemn than Fang Cai.

"The 'Spirit Snake Bead' has been stolen."

"What's ......?!"

Nangong Piao and Bai Lu stood up in shock, the wrinkles between Zuo Ling's eyebrows couldn't help but deepen, and their eyes were full of shock.

"Hasn't the 'Spirit Snake Bead' been placed in the Zhangjia Ancestral Hall to be the most closely protected?"

"Yes. And in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, multiple prohibitions are usually imposed in the ancestral hall, and then guarded by manpower. However, after learning yesterday that most of the demon kings had appeared in the human world, the old man sent most of the Zhang family to investigate, and after dark, the old man was entrusted by the Dharma Hall to discuss this matter with the elders of the world, and it was only ten minutes before and after. Unexpectedly, someone took advantage of the situation, lured away the guards, and stole the 'Spirit Snake Bead'. ”

His face did not show the obvious panic of Bai Lu and Nangong Piao, Zuo Ling groaned for a while, and asked calmly and seriously: "Are there any clues?" ”

"Judging from the traces left at the scene, it should have been done by a youkai, and it was 'a' youkai."

"Isn't it 'a group' but 'one'......" Zuo Ling narrowed his eyes, "I can steal the 'Spirit Snake Bead' with my own strength, it seems that the other party is not small." ”

Zhang Hanguang nodded lightly: "Another point, all the territories of the Zhang family are covered with protective prohibitions, among them, all the teleportation spells will be invalid, even the old man can't, but the other party has not broken the outer ban of the Zhang family, and there is no trace of use in several teleportation channels, so it must not run out of the range of the Zhang family, and there is only one place left for it to go." ”

Looking around at everyone, Zhang Hanguang's gaze looked a little solemn.

"Demon Slayer Forest."

Whispering the answer out of his mouth, Zuo Ling looked very serious, as if this was a very tricky place, and then he heard Zhang Hanguang say: "You should also understand the importance of the 'Spirit Snake Bead', this matter must not be delayed for a long time, but there is no manpower on the side of the Dharma Hall to help, there is no way, the old man can only ask you to find it." ”

Hearing this, Zuo Ling looked at Zhang Hanguang with some incomprehension, and said, "With all due respect, Hanyang is a real person." The Demon Slaying Forest is the territory of the Zhang family, and the most familiar person must be you, if you go there in person by Hanyang Zhenren, you will definitely be able to find it quickly, so why make an exception for us outsiders to enter the Zhang family's 'testing ground'? ”

"The problem is that the old man doesn't have that time to enter the Demon Slaying Forest."

"How?"

"The matter of the demon king is imminent, and many details need to be determined by the old man, and now the old man must immediately leave for Zhongkun to close the space passage, otherwise the riotous space passage may completely collapse at any time, causing the collapse of the city. In this case, the old man doesn't have time to go to the Demon Slaying Forest to find the 'Spirit Snake Bead' in person......"

"Go to Zhongkun's closed space passage?"

Zhang Longqian, who heard this, couldn't help but be stunned, and then remembered that Zuo Ling had said before that the Dharma Hall would invite a heavenly master to go to the closed space passage, and she couldn't help but look at Zhang Hanguang with wide eyes: "Could it be ......?"

"Huh? Don't you know about dragon diving? Although her face was full of worry, Bai Lu couldn't help but explain in a low voice as if she heard others talk about her star idols, "Hanyang Zhenren is one of the only three Heavenly Masters today, and he is also the strongest among the three Heavenly Masters, and he is a well-deserved first person in the Dao Law Realm!" ”

The strongest Celestial Master? The first person in the Dao Law Realm?

Zhang Longqian finally understood the current situation.

Although the closed space passage and the recovery of the "Spirit Snake Bead" are probably the same important things, however, the space passage must be completely closed by the Heavenly Master, and the search for the stolen "Spirit Snake Bead" does not have to be done by the Heavenly Master.

"Only you can help with this right now, I wonder if you are willing?"

Zhang Hanguang looked at everyone inquiringly, with a sincere expression, and he had no intention of using his position to force others.

After pondering for a while, Zuo Ling raised his head and said, "It is incumbent." ”

Zhou Miao and the others also nodded, and there was no objection.

Zhang Hanguang's face showed some relief: "Great, fortunately, I have your help." ”

"But," Bai Lu looked at Zhang Longqian, and said with some embarrassment, "Although Longqian said that it was 'loose cultivation', in fact, she didn't know a few spells at all, and it was no different from mortals, could she not go?" ”

"That's natural." Zhang Hanguang smiled, "Don't worry, Bai girl, she will rest at Zhang's house before you come back, and the old man will let people take care of her." ”

"Great! Thank you Hanyang Zhenren! ”

"If you want to say thank you, it should be the old man." Saying that, Zhang Hanguang stood up and said, "Time is pressing, the old man will go and prepare to open the ban of the forest, it will take about an hour, during this time, you can take a good rest, the old man will let someone take you to the lounge." He paused, looked at a few people, and finally stopped at Zuo Ling, and said, "Zuo boy, you can go with the old man, and I can explain some important places to you." ”

Zuo Ling nodded, got up and said to Zhang Longqian: "You guys go to rest first, I'll come over later." ”
