Elder Zhang asked the question. Although he didn't say it aloud, his heart was full of shock.
Even the two ancestors couldn't handle the matter. Could the King of the Night handle it?
Not only was Elder Zhang surprised, but so were the other elders present. The strength of Wang Wenqing and the other person. They had seen with their own eyes. Whether in terms of strength or seniority, those who could compare with the two of them in all of Daxia could be counted on one hand.
They couldn't think of anyone who could make the two regard someone this highly.
As Li Hanguang the old Daoist nodded in confirmation, the "he" he mentioned was indeed the King of the Night.
Their hearts were even more shocked.
"That King of the Night can handle the issue with Hu San Brother? Are you sure?" Elder Hu Ba asked.
As it involved his own biological elder brother, he was more serious than anyone else present and didn't dare to be vague.
Wang Wenqing looked at his serious expression and naturally understood his thoughts. He immediately said, "You might not believe what I say, but from the bottom of my heart, in this world, apart from him, I can't think of a second person who could make me feel assured."
Before his words had fallen, Li Hanguang the old Daoist followed up, stroking his white beard, and said with emotion, "Indeed, under heaven, it seems that the only one I, this old Daoist, could confidently hand over the matter of Elder Hu San to is him."
The elders were shocked. They hadn't expected Wang Wenqing's answer to be so certain, so decisive. Even Li Hanguang the old Daoist gave such an answer.
"With Fellow Daoist Wang saying this, why not ask that King of the Night for help?" The elder of the Hui family looked toward Elder Hu Ba with questioning eyes.
Although the issue of Elder Hu San affected the mortal realm, in the end, it was Elder Hu Ba's brother. He had to weigh in at least.
The next second, Elder Hu Ba didn't hesitate at all.
"With Fellow Daoist Wang and Fellow Daoist Li both affirming the King of the Night, I believe your judgment is not wrong. Then let's not delay and quickly go ask the King of the Night for help."
"Well…" Wang Wenqing was momentarily choked up, coughed a little awkwardly. "I do have this idea, but it's not like if I say help, he will help. We still have to ask him."
"As long as the King of the Night is willing to help, no matter the cost, I will do my utmost to make it happen."
Elder Hu Ba's eyes were blazing. The look in his eyes, if Qin Ye were to say he wanted his life, he might slit his throat without hesitation.
"Elder Hu Ba, calm down a bit." Li Hanguang the old Daoist patted Elder Hu Ba's shoulder.
"Whether he's willing to help isn't for us to decide, it still depends on him."
"Don't think just because I'm friends with him, and Fellow Daoist Wang is even closer to him, that he'll surely agree. He's rather stubborn — if it delays his matters, he may not agree. But I think this matter is significant, and since he knows Elder Hu San, he probably won't refuse."
"Let this old Daoist ask first."
"Alright. Then I'll trouble Fellow Daoist Li to ask. I'm deeply grateful. In the future, if there's anything I can do, just say the word." Elder Hu Ba bowed.
Li Hanguang the old Daoist smiled and waved his hand. "Elder Hu Ba, no need to be so polite. Like Fellow Daoist Wang said, this is just lifting a hand — for us cultivators, eliminating demons and evil is our duty."
At these words, Li Hanguang the old Daoist didn't dawdle. In front of everyone, he raised his hand toward the distance.
Immediately, in the outer courtyard of Elder Li's house near Changbai Mountain, the bundle that Li Hanguang had brought with him shot out a streak of light.
Elder Li only felt a flash before his eyes, and a streak of light shot out.
"What was that thing?"
Some villagers also noticed a streak of light flew across the sky in broad daylight.
"A meteor?"
"How could there be a meteor in daylight? Have you seen a meteor flying sideways? I think it might be aliens—UFO? Or maybe that South Heavenly Gate project's aircraft."
"That's possible. I saw the news saying our jets were about to go up for the South Heavenly Gate project. It might be a fighter jet flying by."
The streak of light quickly flew by, trailing clouds in its wake. Very quickly, within a few breaths, the light fell into Li Hanguang's hand.
"A cell phone?"
Elder Zhang stared and was stunned. He recognized it as the phone Li Hanguang had taken from Maoshan Sect before leaving, used for communication.
Li Hanguang nodded and unlocked the phone screen.
"Let this old Daoist contact him."
Back when he met Qin Ye, for convenient communication regarding the disappearance of the Earth God and other matters, Qin Ye had given Li Hanguang his phone number.
Li Hanguang walked aside and dialed.
———
[In Daxia, in front of an ancient turtle statue]
Qin Ye, based on online research, had come to what was suspected to be a worship statue of the Little Green Turtle. Just as he was about to summon the Little Green Turtle, his phone vibrated in his pocket.
He pulled it out and saw the caller ID. "I thought it was a scam call—turns out it's Old Li."
Qin Ye mumbled, then tapped the screen to answer.
"Old Li, why are you calling me at this time? Are you done with the Changbai Mountain situation? Hurry up and come meet me. I just made a discovery—was about to tell you… huh? What's the matter?"
Just as he was speaking, Li Hanguang's voice came from the phone, about the matter of Elder Hu San.
"Black liquid? Elder Hu San mutated?"
As he listened to each piece of information, Qin Ye stopped joking and his expression turned slightly surprised.
Very soon, after hearing everything, without waiting for Li Hanguang to speak, Qin Ye already understood why he called and spoke first, "You and Old Wang want me to handle Elder Hu San's issue, right?"
"Exactly." Li Hanguang smiled, not hiding anything, speaking frankly.
"Fellow Daoist Wang and I can't solve this matter for the time being. After thinking it over, we could only think of you. Plus, I remember you once said that Elder Hu San is your friend."
"So I'm asking if you can help."
After Li Hanguang finished speaking, he glanced at the elders nearby. To avoid suspicion, they had intentionally walked away while Li Hanguang was on the phone with Qin Ye, and Li Hanguang had also deliberately stepped aside.
Although they didn't eavesdrop, they still peeked from time to time, trying to get a sense of the conversation.
The anticipation in their eyes was clearly seen by Li Hanguang.
"Elder Hu San is someone I know, and I even made a pact with him to drink fine wine and feast a thousand years later."
Qin Ye said at this point. "But Elder Hu San's matter is a bit strange. I'll try my best. I'll seal Elder Hu San first, to prevent him from escaping."
"That is naturally necessary."
Li Hanguang smiled. He never expected Qin Ye to immediately cure Elder Hu San. After all, he had personally fought Elder Hu San and knew how bizarre it was. Especially since it involved the Heavenly Court, and even the Underworld.
Immediately, seeing Qin Ye agree, Li Hanguang didn't hesitate and said directly:
"Then I'll bring Elder Hu San over to you first, and leave him to your sealing."
But the next second, Qin Ye's voice came from the phone, [No need to bring him to me for sealing. If the seal breaks in transit, it could complicate things. I'll just do the sealing here directly.]
Immediately after, before Li Hanguang could respond, Qin Ye said again, "Old Li, are you all still in Changbai Mountain?"
At the same time, in the south of Daxia, Qin Ye stood in front of the turtle statue, looking toward the distant north, the direction of Changbai Mountain.
