2661 Chance

Tang Qing'er said, "As far as I know, Hell Lord Frost Springs specially held the consort inauguration ceremony for this woman."

"Hmph."

Tang Kong disagreed. "Hell Lord Frost Springs must have been bewitched as well. It's just a woman, how beautiful can she be such that so many people must be mobilized?"

Hearing this, Tang Qing'er's expression turned complicated and she fell silent.

A moment later, she said, "The beauty of this Hell Consort can indeed be said to be devastatingly alluring and astounding. If I were a man, I would probably be charmed by her as well and might even give up everything for her."

This evaluation was too high.

If it was said by someone else, Tang Kong would still have some doubts. However, Tang Qing'er was his daughter.

Furthermore, Tang Qing'er was a top-tier beauty to begin with. In this aspect, she would definitely be able to compare properly.

However, even Tang Qing'er had to admit that she was inferior to this Hell Consort.

Tang Qing'er continued, "I heard that when this Hell Consort was born from Hell Frost Springs, the Centaureas growing beside the spring avoided her and closed up, feeling ashamed of their inferiority."

"That's pretty exaggerated!"

Tang Kong was surprised.

He had lived to 800,000 years old and was already calm in this aspect. When he heard the various legends about this Hell Consort, he felt curious as well.

Tang Qing'er nodded. "It's said that Hell Lord Frost Springs treats her very well and has been pursuing her for thousands of years. This Hell Consort has never been willing and Hell Lord Frost Springs has never crossed the line as well."

"It's just that for some unknown reason, some time ago, Hell Lord Frost Springs suddenly announced that he was going to take in a consort. Perhaps this Hell Consort was finally touched by his sincerity."

Tang Qing'er shifted her gaze to the Martial Dao Prime Body.

The Martial Dao Prime Body remained silent the entire time and looked into the distance. It was unknown what he was thinking, as though he had something on his mind.

The Martial Dao Prime Body could not help but think of an old friend when he heard the words 'Hell Consort' and Tang Qing'er's conversation.

This old friend had some unforgettable past with him in Tianhuang Mainland.

This old friend had even saved his life before.

Consort Yu of the Great Qian Empire.

Of course, the Martial Dao Prime Body knew that the Hell Consort Tang Qing'er was referring to was a Hell Consort and could not be the same as Consort Yu[1].

However, the two of them sounded the same and were peerless beauties. As such, he could not help but think of this old friend and the past.

Back then, Consort Yu had also undergone Tribulation Transcendence and ascended in Tianhuang Mainland.

Although the Martial Dao Prime Body did not appear, he paid attention to the entire Tribulation Transcendence process. Fortunately, there was no danger.

All these years, the Martial Dao Prime Body had only found Yan Beichen, Ming Zhen, Demoness Ji and Tao Yao among the old friends from Tianhuang Mainland who had ascended. There was no news of the others.

"Lord Desolate Martial?"

Tang Kong asked softly at the side, "It's not too late to leave now. The news of the battle at the North Ridge shouldn't have spread to the Central Capital yet."

When Tang Kong saw that the Martial Dao Prime Body was silent, he thought that the latter was feeling regret after seeing Frost Springs City's foundation.

"Let's go to the Frost Springs Emperor Palace."

The Martial Dao Prime Body put aside some of his past worries for the time being and said.

Although there had not been an Emperor realm expert in Frost Springs Hell for many years, Hell Lord Frost Springs' palace still retained its previous title as the Emperor Palace.

"We're still going?"

Tang Kong felt helpless and complained internally.

Tang Qing'er's heart skipped a beat as she suddenly said, "Father, Senior Desolate Martial, this consort inauguration ceremony might be a rare opportunity for us!"

"Hmm?"

Tang Kong's eyes lit up and he understood immediately.

The consort inauguration ceremony this time round was massive. Any expert with some status and reputation in Frost Springs City would head to the Frost Springs Emperor Palace to watch the ceremony.

As for the guards of the Frost Springs Emperor Palace, they would also focus their attention on the consort inauguration ceremony.

That way, the forces guarding the teleportation formation would definitely slacken and increase their chances of success!

Tang Qing'er continued, "However, the teleportation formation is located in the core area of the Emperor Palace and won't be too far away from the consort inauguration ceremony."

"If we get the chance, we have to act quickly and activate the teleportation formation immediately to leave Frost Springs Hell without any delay."

"By the time the experts of the Frost Springs Emperor Palace react, we'll definitely die."

Tang Kong nodded and a trace of hope reignited in his eyes.

No matter what, Tang Qing'er's plan was much safer than breaking into the Emperor Palace head-on.

If their operation went smoothly, the three of them would indeed have a chance of survival!

"Lord Desolate Martial, what do you think?"

Tang Kong turned around and asked.

"We'll see."

The Martial Dao Prime Body replied casually and continued in the direction of the Frost Springs Emperor Palace.

The three of them advanced and arrived at the Frost Springs Emperor Palace before long.

In other areas of Frost Springs City, one could fly in the air. However, in the Frost Springs Emperor Palace, apart from Hell Lord Frost Springs, all other living beings had to descend on the ground.

Looking at the entrance of the Emperor Palace before him, Tang Kong took a deep breath. "Lord Desolate Martial, if you enter the Frost Springs Emperor Palace, there's no way out. You…"

Before he could finish, the Martial Dao Prime Body was the first to enter the Emperor Palace.

Tang Kong was helpless and could only brace himself to follow.

The Martial Dao Prime Body was his savior. If not for the Martial Dao Prime Body, the Tang family of the North Ridge, including him, would have been wiped out!

Even if there was a mountain of blades, a sea of flames and a bottomless abyss ahead, he had to follow the Martial Dao Prime Body in.

Not long after they entered the Emperor Palace, a shout suddenly sounded from behind.

"Brother Tang!"

When he heard that voice, Tang Kong's heart skipped a beat and he cursed internally. He could only stop and turn around.

Not far away, hundreds of Hell King experts were walking over. The leader had a terrifying aura and a dignified expression. His gaze was like a torch and his facial features looked similar to the dead young master of the South Forest.

Tang Qing'er's expression changed when she saw who it was.

When Tang Kong turned around, his expression had already returned to normal. He welcomed the person with a smile and cupped his fists. "Brother Shentu, how have you been?"

This group of people was from the South Forest.

The leader was King South Forest, Shentu Lang!

Shentu Lang approached. "Brother Tang, today was your 800,000-year-old birthday banquet. If not for Hell Lord Frost Springs' consort inauguration ceremony, I would have definitely gone to wish you a happy birthday personally."

"It's fine."

Tang Kong had a calm expression as he waved his hand. "Compared to the Hell Lord's consort inauguration ceremony, my birthday banquet is nothing."

Shentu Lang smiled. "Initially, I thought that you would be focused on holding your birthday banquet in the North Ridge. To think that you would rush over to participate in the Hell Lord's consort inauguration ceremony as well."

"By the way, Ying'er should have already arrived at the North Ridge. Why didn't he come with the two of you?"

At the mention of Shentu Ying, Tang Qing'er's expression changed slightly and she felt guilty. She avoided Shentu Lang's gaze, not daring to look at him.

Shentu Ying had already been killed by the Martial Dao Prime Body and his Essence Spirit was destroyed—how could he have followed them over?

Tang Kong said, "Your son is indeed a fine young man. However, there was a small conflict between these two children. He's with Hell King South Essence and did not join us."

At that moment, Tang Kong's experience and maturity was evident.

Against Shentu Lang's question, Tang Kong had a calm expression and did not react at all, as though he did not know that Shentu Ying had died.

Even his lie was flawless, as though he had prepared it long ago.

Not only that, Tang Kong's words even helped Tang Qing'er make up for the flaw that she had just revealed.
