Chapter 135 - 131: News about Nono
Outside the Black Guard Dungeon was the Imperial City of Jinrui City, exactly the same as when Lu Hong had visited before; there was no sign that the Eight Great Families had once occupied it.
Under Hegel’s guidance, Lu Hong arrived at Xuan Chen Hall, which was also where Lu Hong met the Great Emperor Konstantin for the first time.
"Are you here?" Hearing the announcement outside the door, Konstantin did not look up and continued to read the document in his hand seriously.
Kneeling on one knee, Hegel said, "Your Majesty, Tu-Ku-Lu has been brought here." He glanced at Lu Hong beside him and quickly whispered reproachfully, "Why aren’t you kneeling upon seeing His Majesty?!"
"Enough, Hegel, you can step back now." Before Lu Hong could answer, Konstantin intervened first, dismissing Hegel and the guards to the sides.
"Have a seat." Konstantin smiled at his nephew, and once Lu Hong was seated, he continued, "Tu-Ku-Lu, I really didn’t expect you to return alive from hell, and to have safely gotten through the rebellion of the Eight Great Families. However, I’m curious, how did you end up joining forces with the barbarians?"
Lu Hong didn’t answer Konstantin’s question, but asked instead, "Your Majesty, could you first tell me where Xiu Si is buried?"
"Xiu Si is buried in the primary plane of the Gold Family, the Yuan Hua Plane."
"I would like to pay my respects." The old man had accompanied Lu Hong through the initial period, and having interacted with Lu Hong like family, the old man’s death deeply saddened Lu Hong.
"I’m afraid that’s not possible; the Yuan Hua Plane is still under the control of the Gold Family." Konstantin shook his head, "The place where Xiu Si is buried has long been reclaimed by the Gold Family, and you cannot go there."
