Travel through the heavens

Chapter 196: Arriving at Apocalypse

In the twenty-first year of Mingde, on the ninth day of the tenth month, it is a good day to get married, pray for blessings, and seek offspring.

It was the wedding day of Taoist Sword Immortal and Snow Moon Sword Immortal. Early in the morning, a magpie landed on a tree branch and began to sing loudly.

On Mount Qingcheng, lights and decorations were hung everywhere, and the atmosphere was filled with joy. Even the solemn and majestic statues of the Three Pure Ones in the Qiankun Hall seemed to have a hint of a smile.

The Fulu Courtyard where Zhao Yuzhen lived, both the courtyard and the main hall, were decorated in an extremely festive manner.

The marriage of the two great swordsmen, Zhao Yuzhen and Li Hanyi, was a major event that shocked the entire Beili martial arts world. However, the two parties did not publicize it, so not many people knew about it. In addition to Fang Muye and his group, the guests who came to watch the ceremony and attend the banquet included Sikong Changfeng and Yin Luoxia who arrived yesterday.

At dusk, when the auspicious time arrives, firecrackers blast and fireworks bloom.

Zhao Yuzhen, dressed in a red robe, gently took the arm of Li Hanyi, who was wearing a bright red wedding dress, and slowly led her into the flower hall.

As the master of ceremonies, Uncle Zhang, sang loudly, the newlyweds began to bow and perform their rituals.

Bow to heaven and earth, and heaven and earth celebrate together.

All the flowers on Wangcheng Mountain bloomed in an instant, and the whole mountain was filled with clusters of flowers and the fragrance was overwhelming.

Bow twice to your parents, and they will be happy.

King Li Su and Yin Changsong stroked their long beards and laughed heartily. Their laughter was loud and clear, echoing through the sky.

The husband and wife bowed to each other, and the music of the zither and the harp sounded in harmony.

All the swords on Wangcheng Mountain made roaring sounds, as if they were congratulating the two great sword masters.

After the ceremony, Zhao Yuzhen and Li Hanyi officially became husband and wife. Everyone present congratulated them and presented them with gifts. Then the wedding banquet began, and everyone drank and talked happily. It was a very joyful occasion.

That night, on the top of Wangcheng Mountain, Fang Muye and Sikong Changfeng stood leaning against the cliff. The mountain breeze blew up their robes, making them flutter, as if they would take off with the wind in the next moment.

Sikong Changfeng sighed and complained, "Although Han Yi relied on her early entry and insisted on being a senior sister, Baili and I have always treated her as a junior sister. I have taken care of such a beautiful junior sister for more than ten years, but in the end, she got the advantage of Zhao Yuzhen. I really want to beat him up."

Fang Muye laughed and said sarcastically, "Brother Changfeng, if you dare to attack Zhao Yuzhen, the first person to stop you will be Li Hanyi."

"Alas, girls are outgoing." Sikong Changfeng sighed again: "However, the entanglement between Han Yi and Zhao Yuzhen lasted for more than ten years. Now they have finally become lovers, which can be regarded as putting an end to the worries of Baili and me."

Sikong Changfeng paused for a moment, and suddenly said, "Brother Fang, don't blame me for being nosy. Isn't it time to settle the matter between you and Luoxia?"

Fang Muye was startled and explained, "Brother Changfeng, Yin Luoxia and I are not like you think. We are just friends."

Sikong Changfeng curled his lips and said, "Brother Fang, you are deceiving yourself. We, the outsiders, can see clearly that after you defeated Luoxia, although you intentionally avoided each other at the beginning, you got along very well in the following days. I can see that Luoxia has fallen in love with you. I don't believe you can't notice it? Also, do you dare to say that you have no feelings for her at all?"

Fang Muye looked at the starry sky with dim eyes and said nothing.

Sikong Changfeng continued slowly: "Luoxia is a good girl, but she met the wrong man. She was wasted more than ten years of her youth by that bastard Song Yanhui. It would be best if she could be with Brother Fang."

Fang Muye said softly: "Let's talk about it after we come back from Tianqi."

Sikong Changfeng nodded, looked into the distance, and suddenly said with emotion: "Tomorrow, you will go to Tianqi."

Fang Muye nodded slightly and said, "Yes."

"In Tianqi City, many people don't want Xiao Se to go back. Once you set off tomorrow, I'm afraid it won't take long for the news to spread throughout Beili. However, with Lan Yuehou accompanying you along the way, and Ye Xiaoying and his double-bladed Ye Ziying protecting you, I think this should be able to shock some people and allow you to return to Tianqi smoothly."

Sikong Changfeng looked deep in the eyes and spoke in a quiet voice.

"However, the water in Apocalypse City is not only unfathomable, but also has undercurrents. Especially with Xiao Se's identity, it is destined that everyone around him will not be able to stay out of it and will be drawn into the ruthless whirlpool sooner or later. The century-old foundation of Xueyue City cannot be easily shaken. Now that Baili is gone and Hanyi has married into Wangcheng Mountain, I can only stay in Xueyue City. I'll trouble Brother Fang to take care of those young people."

"Okay." Fang Muye's voice sounded softly.

Early the next morning, Fang Muye and his party descended Wangcheng Mountain and saw that a thousand elite cavalrymen from the Ye Camp had already gathered and were waiting at the foot of the mountain.

Everyone said goodbye to each other and went their separate ways.

Of those who came here, Lei Hong is going back to Lei Family Castle, King Li Su and He Qu He Cong are going back to Jianxin Tomb, Xie Xuan is going to Xueyue City with Sikong Changfeng and Yin Luoxia, and Fang Muye, Xiao Se, Tang Lian, Lei Wujie, Sikong Qianluo, Ye Ruoyi, Hua Jin, Yue Ji and Ming Hou are going to Tianqi City with Lan Yue Hou and Ye Xiaoying.

As for Wuxin, due to his identity, it is inconvenient for him to go to Tianqi with everyone else. He will first go back to Hanshui Temple, and then sneak into Tianqi City to meet the person he wants to see.

After leaving Wangcheng Mountain, the large army headed northeast along the official road. After more than ten days of travel, they finally arrived at the magnificent Beili Imperial City.

When Ye Xiaoying's Thousand Leaf Camp was approaching the city, it turned around and rushed back to Ningzhi Military City.

Fang Muye and his party stopped under the towering city wall, and saw the word "Apocalypse" written in iron and silver on the arched city gate, showing its majestic atmosphere.

As soon as they entered the city, Marquis Lan Yue looked at Xiao Se and said with a smile, "Nephew, come with your uncle to the palace to see your father."

"Okay." Xiao Se hesitated for a moment and agreed. Then he looked at Ye Ruoyi and said, "Ruoyi, take Senior Fang and the others to my place first."

Ye Ruoyi smiled slightly: "Okay."

Xiao Se nodded and greeted Fang Muye and others, then rode towards the palace with Marquis Lan Yue.

Ye Xiaoying stared at Xiao Se's back for a long while, then turned around, clasped his fists towards Fang Muye, and said with a smile, "Okay, I have to go back too. If Brother Fang is free, please come to the General's Mansion and have a seat."

Fang Muye returned the greeting with a bow: "Okay, I will definitely visit you some other day."

"Goodbye, ride away." Ye Xiaoying kicked the horse's belly and rode away.

Ye Ruoyi said softly to everyone: "Senior Fang, everyone please follow me."

At that moment, everyone followed Ye Ruoyi on horseback. After walking for a long distance, Lei Wujie suddenly pointed to a place and shouted, "Yong'an Palace."

It was a newly built mansion, magnificent and majestic, but the door was closed. Only a few sparrows landed on the steps at the door, making it look a little desolate.

"This is indeed the desolate palace." Ye Ruoyi smiled and shook her head, "But this is not where we are going."

Lei Wujie scratched his head: "Oh."

Ye Ruoyi led everyone forward and walked all the way to Wuyifang in the west city, and arrived in front of an extremely huge house.

Lei Wujie was so shocked when he saw the four characters on the door plaque that his eyes almost popped out. "Xue...Xueluo Villa? This place is also called Xueluo Villa. It's really completely different from the Xueluo Villa where we first met."

Ye Ruoyi smiled and covered her mouth: "When Xiao Se was still in Tianqi, he always said, "Watch the snow fall in front of the door, and see the Mirror Lake behind the door. I have a villa called Xueluo, which is extremely elegant."

At this time, at the gate of the villa, a butler was standing respectfully, and on both sides of the butler stood guards holding knives, each with a stern expression.

The housekeeper stretched his neck but didn't see the figure he had been looking forward to day and night. He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. However, when he saw Miss Ye, the daughter of the Beili General's Mansion who often came to the mansion, he still came forward and said respectfully, "Miss Ye is here."

Ye Ruoyi dismounted and walked to the door, smiling, "Butler Xu, long time no see."

Butler Xu waved his hand: "What's there to see about an old man like me? Miss, you haven't seen my young master for many years. Miss Ye, I heard that my young master is back. Is he?"

"Chu He is going to the palace to see His Majesty." Ye Ruoyi gestured to Fang Muye and the others, and introduced them to Butler Xu: "These are his seniors and friends. I'll trouble Butler Xu to make some arrangements."

Butler Xu did not ask any more questions. He immediately bowed and said with a smile, "Dear guests, please come in."
