Chapter 178: Chapter 169 Breaking the SealThrough the express teleportation portal provided by the general, Lock Fan and his companions instantly arrived at the plane of Holy Light.
But where was their leader, Lu Hong? They didnât know. Even though Nono, the creature with special abilities, was bound by a contract with Lu Hong, the contract wasnât omnipotent. Nono couldnât use it to pinpoint Lu Hongâs whereabouts; at most, it only indicated that he wasnât dead.
Confronted with the groupâs bewilderment, Mei Chuan Qiuku, a student, was the first to speak, "Letâs head to East Look Mountain first. That was the last place the boss showed up before he went missing. Maybe weâll find some clues there."
"Qiuku is right!" Everyone agreed with nods, then set off together for East Look Mountain.
Two days later, the group arrived at the scorched East Look Mountain, now cordoned off, with the guard being the same knight Lu Hong had previously stood up.
"Hey, donât you know this area is off-limits?" As a commander in the Gold Family, his stature had plummeted since the surrender, particularly after being reported for having opposed Lu Hong, a respected hero. His military position was suppressed in an instant, relegating him to the dismal role of a watchman.
Fortunately, the knight harbored no hard feelings. His service in the Gold Family had been merely a means to advance his training and secure resources. Presently located in this desolate place, where neither chickens pooped nor birds laid eggs, he felt quite unfettered. After all, he had amassed a large supply of resources he needed to increase his level and wasnât worried about running out anytime soon.
"Weâre here to find our boss," Mo Bei, dissatisfied, spoke to the adjudicating knight, "Why canât we enter?"
"Because Her Majesty the Queen visits once a month, and in order to guarantee her safety, this area is under restriction," the knight replied, leaning back on a haystack and taking a long swig of his liquor, then continued, "Go back where you came from. Thereâs nothing but ruins here, nothing to see."
"That wonât do," Lock Fan said sternly. "Sir, we must go in. Please grant us this favor. Our bossâs clues could very well be inside. Moreover, weâre acquainted with the current Queen."
"If you know her, that simplifies things. Get an edict from the Queen, and I wonât stand in your way," the knight gestured dismissively, "As for now, you came from where, you go back where."
"Damn it, Lock, letâs sort him out!" The students, now inflated with bravado from battle-hardened experience, picked up their weapons and were ready to fight.
Lock Fan hurriedly intervened. Others might not see it, but he definitely knew â this knight was a Third Transition powerhouse, someone who could crush them in a minute. To fight him would be suicidal.
"What kind of boss, haha!" the knight scoffed at them with a cold stare, "Your boss is a soldier from the Gold Family, right? Let me tell you, in the battle of East Look Mountain, except for the two Grand Offerings, everyone else perished. So itâs best you give up."
"Our boss is Tukuru, who killed the Grand Offerings â heâs no trivial figure!" Someone retorted, cutting off the knightâs words.
"What?!" The knight was taken aback, hastily sitting up straight. From their conversation, it was clear their boss wasnât dead. If Tukuru was their boss, did that mean the powerful figure who defeated the three Grand Offerings from the Gold Family was still alive?!
"Iâm telling you, our boss is the hero who reclaimed Holy Light, and heâs not dead!"
"Come with me inside." Regardless of whether the slayer of the Grand Offerings was his former enemy, such a powerful person deserved the knightâs respect. He quickly pulled Lock Fan with him to go inside, reversing his prior attitude, "Is it really true heâs not dead?"
"Of course, woof woof! Woof woof!"
"Hmm? Is Nono becoming a spirit, a demon?" The knight squinted at Nono, not quite grasping the concept.
"Hehe! Woof woof!" Nono dashed out, sniffing around the charred remains of East Look Mountain in
"You all secure the perimeter; stop anyone else from getting near. If you encounter someone you canât stop, send a signal immediately," Lock Fan commanded gravely, certain that there was a hidden mastermind behind Lu Hong being buried here. The first suspect was Xue Mei, who belonged to Nonoâs people. Although Lock Fan didnât believe Nono would do such a thing, he couldnât be sure since he knew so little about Nono, giving him all the more reason to suspect.
The Knight gave Lock Fan a look, approving of his handling of the situation, then spoke, "Donât worry, my senses are monitoring the surroundings. No one will find out."
"Senior, thereâs no trap on this Ice Seal, right?"
With a smile, the Knight responded to Lock Fanâs caution, "Donât worry, breaking the seal wonât trigger anything on their end."
Then he began to attack the Ice Seal with his power, gradually weakening its chill.
After three days of effort, the Knight finally broke through the Ice Seal.
As the Magic Power of the ice dissipated, Lu Hongâs eyes, which had been tightly shut, snapped open, and the solitary eye bestowed upon him by the demonic ancestral spirit burst forth with a dazzling purple light that shot into the heavens.
Far beyond in the endless interdimensional planes, the demonic ancestral spirit was crossing through one such plane; sensing something, he looked back, smiling and shaking his head, "I hadnât expected you, young fellow, to awaken the power of the Godâs Eye sooner than the tribe of one. Truly remarkable for your age!"
