2660 Consort Inauguration Ceremony When Tang Kong saw that he could not avoid it, he said, “Lord Desolate Martial, wait a moment. I’ll go over and make arrangements for my clansmen.” Tang Kong went to the side and gathered many clansmen of the Tang family. He divided them into a few groups and set them off to leave the North Ridge as soon as possible. He realized that he would most likely not be able to return from the Central Capital this time round and could only try his best to preserve the bloodline of his clansmen. “Father, where are you going?” Tang Qing’er asked. Tang Kong sighed internally and did not hide anything. “Lord Desolate Martial needs someone to lead the way to the Central Capital. I can only accompany him.” “I’ll go too!” Tang Qing’er’s eyes lit up. “Nonsense! What are you going for?!” Tang Kong glared at Tang Qing’er. Tang Qing’er glanced at the Martial Dao Prime Body. “I cultivated in the Central Capital all year round and know it better. I’ll definitely be able to help if I tag along.” Tang Kong frowned. “Lord Desolate Martial wants to go to the Central Capital and use the teleportation formation to leave Frost Springs Hell. The teleportation formation is in the Emperor Palace of Frost Springs City and there are countless experts guarding it. How can you help?” Tang Qing’er said, “I’ve been to the Emperor Palace in the Central Capital a few times and I have some impression of the terrain inside.” “If we want to use the teleportation formation of Frost Springs Hell, we can’t barge in by force. We have to plan carefully and find a suitable opportunity.” Tang Kong pondered for a moment. “Alright, you can tag along.” Tang Kong brought Tang Qing’er to the side of the Martial Dao Prime Body and explained, “Qing’er is more familiar with the Central Capital. It’ll be more convenient for us with her around.” The Martial Dao Prime Body did not care about that at all. It did not matter if Tang Qing’er was around or not. In reality, his Essence Martial Grotto-heaven had just devoured too much Grotto-heaven power and needed a relatively long time to digest and absorb it. However, as Tang Kong had said, the news of the battle at the North Ridge would spread to the Central Capital soon. At that time, Hell Lord Frost Springs would lead his Hell Army over and he would not have much time to cultivate in seclusion. The Martial Dao Prime Body might not be a match for Hell Lord Frost Springs given his current combat strength. The Martial Dao Prime Body tore through the void casually and brought Tang Kong and Tang Qing’er into the spatial tunnel, disappearing from the skies above the ruins of the North Ridge. When the many clansmen of the Tang family saw the three of them leave, they obeyed the orders of their leader, Tang Kong, and split into a few teams to leave the North Ridge rapidly. In North Ridge City, many living beings of Hell were stunned on the spot when they saw that. However, they maintained their kneeling postures and did not react immediately. “He’s leaving just like that? Where is the new King North Ridge going?” “Isn’t it obvious? He’s definitely fleeing the North Ridge to find a place to hide and lie low.” “That’s right. The news of today’s battle will spread to the Central Capital very quickly. He won’t be able to retain his position as King North Ridge stably and will be mercilessly killed by Hell Lord Frost Springs!” “That’s right. The clansmen of the Tang family of the North Ridge fled earlier on as well. They’re probably looking for a place to hide.” When they heard the discussions around them, many living beings of Hell came to a realization and stood up one after another. Thousands of Hell King experts stood up with conflicted expressions. Although they survived, their vitality was severely injured. In fact, some Hell King experts’ Grotto-heavens were completely devoured by the Martial Dao Prime Body and their hundreds of thousands of years of cultivation were snatched away. However, compared to Ming Feng and the others and the Territorial Lords of the ten great Hell Ridges, they were considered lucky to have survived. “Let’s disperse.” A Hell King sighed. “In the next two days, Nether King experts will probably descend from the Central Capital and take over the North Ridge. As for whether that purple-robed man and the Tang family of the North Ridge can survive, it will depend on their fate.” Thousands of Hell Kings left and returned to their territories. As they recuperated in seclusion, they waited for news from the Central Capital. … In the spatial tunnel, the Martial Dao Prime Body led Tang Kong and his daughter through. Before long, Tang Kong’s expression changed as he pointed at a spatial node. “If you exit from here, we’ll reach Frost Springs City in the Central Capital.” The Martial Dao Prime Body broke through the spatial node with Tang Kong and his daughter without hesitation and exited the spatial tunnel. The location where the three of them descended was not far from Frost Springs City. What entered his line of sight was a majestic and gigantic ancient city that was snow-white in color, as though it was made of ice. It was extremely conspicuous in the dark and sinister world! The snow-white city wall extended continuously along the horizon. Even with the eyesight of the Martial Dao Prime Body, he could not see the end of the city wall. The entire ancient city was emitting cold air and white fog. The Martial Dao Prime Body had just seen North Ridge City. However, it was much inferior in terms of aura and scale compared to the ancient city before him. At that moment, the Martial Dao Prime Body and the other two tore through the void and suddenly appeared outside Frost Springs Hell. Although some living beings of Hell who came and went noticed them, they were not too surprised. Frost Springs City was the center of the entire Frost Springs Hell. It was not surprising for them to bump into Hell King experts around the ancient city. Many guards stood at the entrance of the ancient city and checked the living beings of Hell who passed by. Tang Qing’er said, “Hell King experts don’t have to care about them. They can fly in the air in the ancient city and don’t have to be interrogated by the guards.” Just as the Martial Dao Prime Body was about to enter the city, Tang Kong suddenly said, “Lord, wait. Your clothes and appearance are a little special and are easy to recognize. Should we disguise ourselves?” Once the news of the battle in the North Ridge spread to the Central Capital, the purple robe and silver mask of the Martial Dao Prime Body would be easily discovered. “There’s no need.” The Martial Dao Prime Body said indifferently. Tang Kong sighed internally and did not dare to say anything else. He could only follow obediently behind the Martial Dao Prime Body and enter Frost Springs City. Frost Springs City was huge but most of the living beings of Hell were squeezed on the ground. The space in midair was relatively spacious and there were not many obstacles. “Strange.” Looking at the crowd below, Tang Qing’er frowned slightly. “There are usually not so many people in Frost Springs City.” Along the way, the three of them encountered many Hell King experts in midair. Tang Kong observed for a moment. “Is there something important in Frost Springs City?” Tang Qing’er thought for a moment and said with a look of realization, “I remember now. Based on the date, Hell Lord Frost Springs’ consort inauguration ceremony should be held in the Emperor Palace today!” “Consort inauguration ceremony?” Tang Kong asked. Tang Qing’er explained, “A few years ago, a beautiful woman was born in the Ancient Nether race. Hell Lord Frost Springs was shocked when he saw her and decided to abolish the original Hell Consort and make her the new Hell Consort.” “Hell Lord Frost Springs even used a Dharmic Dao to manifest the woman’s image above Frost Springs City for three days without dissipating, allowing the living beings in Frost Springs Prison to have a chance to see her face.” Tang Kong sneered. That action was nothing more than to satisfy Hell Lord Frost Springs’ vanity and let the living beings of Frost Springs Hell see how beautiful his consort was.
