2662 Consort Yu?

Shentu Lang naturally noticed Tang Qing'er's abnormality and the panic that flashed across her face.

Initially, he was speculating internally. However, when he heard Tang Kong's explanation, he came to a realization and did not think too much about it. "Small conflicts between young people can easily be resolved."

"This is…"

Shentu Lang's gaze shifted to the Martial Dao Prime Body.

After the Essence Martial Grotto-heaven devoured a large amount of the Grotto-heaven power of the Hell Kings in the North Ridge, it no longer possessed the same type of living aura of those from the medium chiliocosm.

However, the Martial Dao Prime Body looked a little strange. He wore a silver mask and only revealed a pair of deep eyes, looking rather mysterious.

"This is a Fellow Daoist I just met."

Tang Kong said ambiguously before changing the topic and exchanging pleasantries indifferently.

A moment later, Shentu Lang said, "The consort inauguration ceremony should be starting soon. Let's enter the palace together."

"Brother Shentu, please go ahead. I have something else to do and will have to wait for a while."

Tang Kong wanted to take advantage of the consort inauguration ceremony to infiltrate the teleportation formation. Naturally, he could not enter the palace with Shentu Lang.

"Alright, see you at the consort inauguration ceremony."

With that said, Shentu Lang led the group of Hell King experts from the South Forest towards the main hall of the Frost Springs Emperor Palace.

After Shentu Lang left, Tang Qing'er heaved a sigh of relief.

Earlier on, in front of Shentu Lang, she almost could not withstand the pressure and panicked!

If Shentu Lang noticed anything amiss, the three of them could forget about approaching the teleportation formation successfully.

"Lord Desolate Martial, let's go over as well."

Tang Kong probed.

"This way."

Tang Qing'er pointed in a direction. "We can avoid many people on the road here, in case we bump into any familiar faces."

The Martial Dao Prime Body did not mind and merely followed beside Tang Kong and his daughter.

Before long, the three of them arrived near the main hall of the Emperor Palace.

If they wanted to reach the teleportation formation, they had to pass through a huge square in front of the Emperor Palace's main hall.

At that moment, the square was already filled with people. At a glance, it was densely packed and bustling.

The consort inauguration ceremony this time round was grand. Not only were many experts from the Central Capital present, many experts from the East Plains, South Forest and West Swamp arrived as well.

Tang Kong stood at the periphery of the square and swept his gaze, spotting three Territorial Lords of the East Plains, South Forest and West Swamp in the crowd.

Apart from some guards and maidservants, there was no one else in the main hall. Hell Lord Frost Springs and the new Hell Consort had yet to arrive.

Tang Kong had a grim expression.

His birthday banquet in the North Ridge was completely insignificant compared to the consort inauguration ceremony before him.

There were only a few thousand Hell King experts at his birthday banquet in the North Ridge.

At this moment, there were probably tens of thousands of Hell King experts gathered in the square, emitting a terrifying aura as they intertwined in the air.

Any living being of Hell who stepped into the square could sense that immense pressure!

If the news of the battle at the North Ridge spread to the Central Capital and the Emperor Palace, their tracks would be exposed as well. At that time, they would be drowned and torn into pieces by the crowd before them!

Right then, a gigantic carriage drove over slowly in midair in the distance.

In front of the carriage, nine serpent wyrms pulled and hissed continuously into the skies. Their cultivation auras had already reached the level of Hell Kings!

Two figures—a man and a woman—sat in the carriage.

The man was dressed in snow-white armor and a thick and heavy sword stood by his feet, emitting a chill.

He had a cold expression and a pale face. His eyes were azure like gems and there was a strange rune imprinted on his glabella—it was the word 'Nether'.

Hell Lord Frost Springs had descended!

Although the Martial Dao Prime Body had never seen Hell Lord Frost Springs before, apart from this person, no one else could emit such a powerful might!

The gaze of the Martial Dao Prime Body shifted to the face of the woman beside Hell Lord Frost Springs.

"Hmm?"

The Martial Dao Prime Body narrowed his eyes slightly and his expression changed beneath the Mara Mask!

If he was not wrong, this woman should be Hell Lord Frost Springs' soon-to-be Hell Consort.

Indeed, this Hell Consort was extremely beautiful. Anyone who saw this woman would sigh at the wonders of creation in the world.

Many living beings in the square, regardless of gender or cultivation, held their breaths instinctively when they saw the Hell Consort and could not shift their gazes away for a moment!

However, that was not enough to tempt the Martial Dao Prime Body.

To his surprise, this Hell Consort was almost identical to Consort Yu of Tianhuang Mainland in terms of looks and figure.

The only difference was that there was a strange Nether rune imprinted on the forehead of the Hell Consort.

"How could this be?"

Instantly, many questions flashed through the mind of the Martial Dao Prime Body.

Could this Hell Consort and Consort Yu of Tianhuang Mainland be the same person?

If they were not the same person, why did they look identical? Even their auras were almost identical.

However, if they were the same person, what could explain the scene before him?

In Tianhuang Mainland, he had personally witnessed Consort Yu undergo Tribulation Transcendence and ascend. Why would Consort Hell come to the Hell World?

What exactly did she experience after she ascended that caused her to be transformed in the Hell Frost Springs and become a member of the Ancient Nether race?

Or perhaps, could living beings from minor chiliocosms ascend directly into the Hell World?

But how was that possible?

Even between the medium chiliocosm and the Hell World, there was an indestructible barrier. How could the living beings of the minor chiliocosm ascend directly into the Hell World?

Countless questions lingered in the heart of the Martial Dao Prime Body.

More importantly, even if the person before him was Consort Yu of Tianhuang Mainland, did she still have her past memories after undergoing the transformation of the Hell Frost Springs?

Tang Qing'er was a woman after all and had seen the Hell Consort before, so she was the first to come back to her senses.

She glanced sideways and saw the Martial Dao Prime Body staring fixedly at the Hell Consort with a strange gaze. She could not help but purse her lips and mutter softly, "Seems like you're not immune either."

Tang Kong had a conflicted expression and wanted to say something but hesitated. "There's actually such a woman in the world. Seriously…"

If he could be hundreds of thousands of years younger, he would even fight Hell Lord Frost Springs to the death for this Hell Consort!

"Stop looking, the two of you!"

Tang Qing'er sent a voice transmission with her spirit consciousness. "This is the best opportunity. Everyone in the square is focused on the Hell Consort. We can leave this place now!"

Tang Kong's heart skipped a beat as though he had woken up from a dream. "That's right. Lord Desolate Martial, let's take this opportunity to leave this place quickly."

"There's a high chance of success if we head to the teleportation formation now!"

The Martial Dao Prime Body remained silent, as though he did not hear anything. He continued to look at Hell Consort in the carriage.

Tang Kong and his daughter exchanged glances with helpless expressions.

The two of them thought that the Martial Dao Prime Body was already obsessed with the beauty of the Hell Consort and could not extricate himself.

Tang Kong was anxious and urged, "Lord Desolate Martial, are you still leaving? This is a rare opportunity and if we miss it, something else might happen!"

"I'm not leaving."

The Martial Dao Prime Body said indifferently. In a flash, he arrived in midair and headed towards the carriage at the front of the square.

No matter who this Hell Consort was, he had to get to the bottom of it.
