Before long, a dark figure swept over the courtyard wall at high speed and landed in the courtyard in a few bounds.
The Uchiha hurried into the house, his breathing slightly uneven. It was clear he had rushed all the way there.
Uchiha Itachi looked up at Zongyan and asked, "Zongyan, what exactly happened for you to send someone to find me in such a hurry?"
Zongyan pointed to a seat beside him, motioning for him to sit and hear him out.
"Big brother, our clansmen in the other world have discovered the Demon King's whereabouts. This is a rare opportunity. I plan to have you come with me to capture him and bring him back."
Uchiha Itachi froze for a moment, seemingly shocked by the news as well.
Hadn't his younger brother said that this Demon King was cowardly by nature and that his whereabouts were extremely difficult to find?
"The Demon King, Muzan Kibutsuji?"
"That's right. Him."
Zongyan nodded, his manner utterly serious.
"Our clansmen discovered that he's currently staying in Asakusa, Tokyo, in the other world. He goes by the alias Tsukihiko and has a human wife and daughter as his cover."
"The Demon King is exceptionally cowardly and changes residences from time to time. If we don't act now, who knows when we'll get another chance?"
Uchiha Itachi frowned slightly and began considering whether it was feasible.
After a short while, he nodded with determination in his eyes.
"All right. The two of us will go."
Seeing him nod, Zongyan smiled.
"Good. There's no time to lose. Let's leave now."
With that, neither said anything more. They set off together toward the location where the Multiverse Portal was housed.
Ever since he had materialized this Multiverse Portal last time, Zongyan had not put it away again.
