198: Chapter 198: Searching for Husband 198: Chapter 198: Searching for Husband Within the Mang Array, Hephesto was infuriated by the sudden appearance of Cheng Yaojin, daring to disrupt his plan.
The duck that was almost in his mouth flew away.
When he turned his head to look, it was an old man.
“Allen, you dare to ruin my efforts.” Hephesto recognized the newcomer and shouted angrily.
Poseidon also recognized Allen, who was the Great Elder of the Imperial Church.
They didn’t expect him to be at this hospital either.
However, seeing the group of guards and other Elders behind Reek, the hospital director, he calmly held back Hephesto and said, “The hospital guards are here; we better evacuate quickly.”
“No, the Netherworld Empress is here.
If we capture her, it’s like holding half of the Netherworld King.” Hephesto was extremely angered.
He and the Imperial Church normally kept out of each other’s affairs, but this time, they actually interfered with him.
Besides, with the Netherworld Empress right there, Hephesto wasn’t willing to give up the chance.
Both of them kept channeling their Inner Strength, attempting to break the Array.
The other six Elders, seeing the Array almost couldn’t hold on any longer, immediately came over to aid Elder Allen in reinforcing the Array.
Poseidon exclaimed, “It won’t do; we must leave quickly.
If this matter escalates, even we Main Gods won’t be able to withstand the repercussions.” Inside the royal hospital, many political figures from various nations were staying.
If a commotion broke out here, even Main Gods could get in trouble, especially considering the high-profile political figures; the Main Gods, after all, belong to the Underworld, but political power is out in the open.
“Fine, I’ll remember them,” Hephesto called out unwillingly.
Together with Poseidon, they accelerated the circulation of their Inner Strength; one cold, one hot—two completely different types of Inner Strength mixed together, creating immense power.
With a loud “bang,” the Mang Array was shattered.
If it weren’t for the protection of the barrier, Su Qingyu might have been blown away by the blast wave.
“Allen, you just wait.” Hephesto cursed, and both attempted to leave through the window.
“Thinking of leaving?” Allen sneered, then chanted a spell, and together with the other six Elders, they cast a Sealing Barrier over Hephesto and Poseidon.
“Merely ants, think you can trap me?” Hephesto joined his hands, and from between them, a giant fire dragon emerged, slamming into the barrier.
Sweat ran down the foreheads of the Elders; it was clear that maintaining the Array to trap them was not easy, especially since the ones inside were two Main Gods.
The Sealing Array Formation was the Imperial Church’s secret skill, among the top-tier in Array techniques.
However, the pressure from the two Main Gods was too immense.
“Sea King Fist!” Poseidon shouted.
He punched fiercely at the barrier in front of him.
Together with Hephesto’s fire dragon, they finally shattered the Array, and the two seized the chance to break free.
The hospital guards tried to apprehend them but were directly blown away by Poseidon’s Sea King Fist.
The seven Elders summoned a barrier to defend themselves.
At this moment, a dazzling light suddenly shone in from outside the window, turning night into day, preventing the seven Elders from advancing.
“Let’s go,” Poseidon said, and amidst this gap, the two departed through the hospital room window.
“I didn’t expect Apollo to come too.” After the two had left, Elder Allen’s expression turned solemn.
That light was Apollo’s doing; it seemed he was covering for their retreat.
Elder Allen glanced at Su Qingyu beside him, pondering what kind of woman was she to merit the direct intervention of three Main Gods.
“Are you all okay?” Reek, the hospital director, approached Su Qingyu and her companions, and upon seeing the severely injured Wild Wolf and Short-nosed Crocodile, immediately ordered for their treatment.
“It’s you, thank you so much.” Su Qingyu recognized the individual; it was none other than Anna whom she had accidentally bumped into earlier.
The two of them left the hospital room.
We didn’t get a chance to properly introduce ourselves this morning.” Anna said with a smile.
“My name is Su Qingyu, nice to meet you.” Su Qingyu extended her right hand generously, and Anna shook it politely as well.
“Are you the Princess of England?” Su Qingyu recognized the beautiful Western woman in front of her, the royal Princess of England, and was somewhat excited.
Anna had appeared on certain major occasions before, so Su Qingyu had also seen her in the news.
“Yes.” Anna smiled, then asked, “Miss Su, are you in Europe for tourism?” Anna remembered the commotion earlier and wondered why two Main Gods would intervene to abduct Su Qingyu, becoming very curious about her identity.
to find my husband.” Su Qingyu said with her head lowered, somewhat embarrassed.
“Husband, so Miss Su is already married.” Anna joked.
“Yes, he’s been in Europe for a while, but I’ve been unable to reach him on his phone, so I came to check.” Su Qingyu explained.
Speaking of phones, Anna suddenly remembered that she hadn’t turned on her phone since getting off the plane.
She took it out of her pocket.
At that moment, Elder Allen’s voice sounded, “Your Highness, please come over here.”
“Miss Su, I must take my leave first.” Anna said apologetically, and Su Qingyu nodded.
“Great Elder, what’s the matter?”
“Your Highness, now that three Main Gods have shown up, I think we need to accelerate our progress.” Elder Allen said with a somewhat grave expression, partly due to the recent clash with Poseidon and Hephesto.
Becoming enemies with two Main Gods wasn’t a good sign for the Holy Mountain mission.
Furthermore, the strength of the two Main Gods was immense; Poseidon’s trident and Hephesto’s Fire God Hammer—those Divine Artifacts—had not been displayed, clearly indicating some reservations from their side.
This was precisely what worried Allen.
Anna nodded, turned on her just-activated phone, and noticed an unread message, sent at the time when she just boarded the plane.
a message from Ghost.” Anna opened the message and read it through, her face showing surprise as the phone dropped to the ground.
“Princess Anna, the Netherworld King has arrived at Holy Mountain.
The Netherworld Empress has come from Huaxia, and at the airport was attacked by Poseidon.
They are now at the European Royal Hospital.
I’ve heard you’re heading there too.
Please ensure the safety of the Netherworld Empress, many thanks.”
After the message, there was a photo.
On it was the extremely beautiful woman, Su Qingyu—the very lady Anna had just encountered.
Anna turned sharply, looking at the departing figure of Su Qingyu, and sighed inwardly.
Unexpectedly she was the Netherworld Empress.
Even as a love rival, Anna knew if she didn’t protect her, Ye Shikai would definitely feel disappointed.
Anna felt somewhat relieved that she had asked Elder Allen to act in time.
