Chapter 480: The New Emperor

An hour later, the towering imperial red walls of the palace reappeared before Li Huowang. Standing at the corner of the wall and looking up at it, he felt an oppressive sensation, like that of a looming mountain.

Li Huowang held no fond memories of this place, and now his only desire was to finish his task as quickly as possible.

Guided by a eunuch, they continued deeper into the palace. Although Li Huowang had been here once before, the labyrinth-like depths of the palace still managed to make him feel somewhat dizzy.

This time, the Golden Hall was nowhere to be seen. Li Huowang guessed that they were not headed to the core where the Emperor resided but to a peripheral complex of supporting buildings.

Speaking of the Emperor of Da Liang, Li Huowang still remembered the news he received last time from Liu Zongyuan—that the Emperor of Da Liang was dying. If that information was reliable, by now, the Emperor should have long been buried.
