Chapter 305

Ruyang Wang was captured, Tuotuo died in battle, and finally more than 100,000 troops disintegrated. However, Ye Guhong ordered the entire army to rest in place.

After waiting for more than a month, Zhu and Chang’s troops arrived in a grand parade, and the combined force of 600,000 troops marched to the capital with drums and trumpets.

For more than a month, the capital was in a state of panic and fear.

When the emperor heard that the Prince of Ruyang had been defeated, he was first shocked, then furious, and ordered the palace to be ransacked and his family members be punished.

How many experts had the Prince of Ruyang’s palace had in the past? Now it was in a state of desolation.

The young prince, Wang Baobao, stood in front of the door, holding a sword with a broken hand and guarding the last vestiges of the Ruyang Prince’s dignity with tears in his eyes.

Standing next to him was only one person, the head butler, Ha.

The Qieshui army sent by the imperial court charged in in large numbers, and the head butler was killed after a few exchanges. Wang Baobao was determined to die, but was knocked unconscious by a flying hammer and imprisoned with the rest of his family.

When Empress Bo Yan heard this, she secretly sent her trusted henchman to release the family under false pretences of an imperial decree and hide them in her own family home.

That day, the Shu army besieged the city.

The emperor made a big scene, wearing more than ten catties of armour and carrying a half-catty sword, and demanded to personally 鈥渇ight his way out of the city and kill this great thief鈥�. The eunuchs stopped him dead.

While they were arguing, a guard suddenly ran into the hall, pants full of wind and urine, 鈥淵our Majesty, something terrible has happened. Hundreds of people from the underworld suddenly rose up in the city. The leaders were Yu Panghu, Sha Yu and four others. The legendary detective Yan Beian also brought his disciples to help. They all rushed to the city gate and let the Ye army into the city!鈥�

The emperor froze for a moment, and without saying a word, he walked out. The eunuchs cried and wailed, 鈥淵our Majesty is a precious life, you must not engage in a fight of passion with that traitor…鈥�

The emperor kicked one away who wanted to hug his leg, and yelled, 鈥淔ight your own father! Prepare the horse! Prepare the horse! Let the Qieshui army escort me out of the city!鈥�

The emperor fled through the north gate, but after only ten li, he met Xu Da, who had broken through the Juyong Pass and was advancing straight at him. With one charge, the more than 10,000 Qieshui troops immediately dispersed.

Xu Da rode into the formation and saw that the emperor was busy trying to undo his golden armor. He laughed and said, 鈥淵our Majesty need not bother. Just follow me to see my lord!鈥�

A few days later, the capital was pacified. Ye Kuhong changed its name to Beiping, and ordered Xu Da and Chang Yuchun to lead 300,000 troops to garrison here and take turns leading troops to sweep the northern barbarians.

He himself led the main army back, established the capital in Luoyang, and named the country Daxu. Naturally, he generously rewarded the generals and graciously nurtured the people.

Five years later, Ye Gu Hong had perfected the destruction of the evil spirits and returned to Emei, where he ascended to heaven.

Ten years later, Ye Gu Hong was in his forties and passed the throne to his son, leaving Liu Ji and Xu Da in charge of the country. He took his harem of concubines with him and returned to Emei, sitting in the middle of the golden roof 鈥�

at this time, the Emei Sect was in a different state of affairs. The roof of the Buddha Hall was covered in gold, and when the sunlight shone through, it was resplendent. The name 鈥淕olden Roof鈥� was truly deserved.

Ye Guhong sat cross-legged with a generous air, looking at the women, whose charm had not diminished since those days, and smiling. He said, 鈥淲e were husband and wife, but now our destiny has ended. The beauty of it is that you all have children to keep you company, and you can all understand and care for one another. I have no worries. If you really miss me, practice hard. The world beyond the heavens is waiting for you to come and find me.鈥�

Among the women, Long Kongkong, White Snake, Snow Centipede, Jade Toad, Zhou Xiangling, Yang Xiaolong, and even Qing Xie, who was standing behind them as a female official, all had a flash of light in their eyes, while Xie Xiang, Min Min, and Wei Jinyi could only helplessly smile wryly.

Jin Mingjun couldn’t hold back any longer, and threw herself into Ye Guhong’s arms: 鈥淵our Majesty, no, junior brother! You’re so stupid, and I’ll never be able to find you again. You’ve gone to the Heavenly Realm, so you have to be careful. Our master is a troublemaker with a bad temper who never changes. If you’re not good enough, don’t go looking for her easily, so she doesn’t get you into trouble.”

Ye Guhong laughed heartily, reached out and touched his elderly senior sister, wiped away her tears, and said gently, 鈥滼ian’an, for my sake, take care of your senior sister more in the future.鈥�

Zhou Gangli nodded with tears in her eyes, and Jin Mingjun cried even more dramatically. Ye Guhong gave her a small smile, raised his head, and saw a dazzling flash of light shoot out from his forehead, straight up, swirling slightly in the air before disappearing into the void.

…I am the dividing line between time and space…

Hospital.

White walls, white windows, white bed and white covers, even the bedside table and chair are white.

But if you look closely, you can see that there is a thick layer of dust on the windowsill and the cabinets.

On the cabinets and in the vase, the once vibrant flowers have now become dried flowers.

On the hospital bed, a man is lying, his emaciated body making it hard to tell if he is alive or dead.

Suddenly, the man’s body trembles violently. The faint sound of his heartbeat gradually becomes stronger. In a moment, the man’s eyelids flutter open, his eyes confused.

The man gasped a few times, sat up with some difficulty, and looked around: was this a hospital? Why was it so messy?

After sitting for a while, the man lifted the quilt and got out of bed, holding onto the wall as he walked to the toilet. Looking at the strange yet familiar face in the mirror, he couldn’t help but smile awkwardly.

I’m back?

And it’s still my original body?

Ye Guhong shook his head, closed his eyes, and felt the yang spirit in his eyebrows鈥攊t

It seemed to have shrunk by half. That was the part of his consciousness that had already been reintegrated into this body, and the rest was the vitality and true energy that he had cultivated in his previous life.

Ye Guhong silently practiced his internal energy method, and within a few breaths, his pale face took on a rosy hue. A faint internal force formed in his dantian. He knew that the meridians of this body were indeed not unobstructed, and that they could not accommodate the magnificent internal force of his previous life. It would take time to slowly train and gradually digest it.

However, with the current internal strength, he is already much stronger than when he previously thought he was a master.

At this time, a rumbling noise came from his stomach.

Damn it, no one is feeding me?

Ye Guhong looked at his body, which had obviously lost a lot of weight, and complained in his heart. He left the toilet and pushed the door to walk out of the ward.

Upon entering, he was stunned. He saw large patches of blackened bloodstains, giving the entire aisle an air of doom.

Looking around, he saw chairs and hospital beds overturned all over the floor, and the air was filled with a faint, fishy smell.

Ye Guhong frowned, wondering if he had come to the wrong world, or if something terrible had happened in his own world.

He moved his joints a little, walking faster and faster. He arrived at the central hall and found the same chaos here.

Entering the empty nurse’s office, a mobile phone was quietly lying on the ground. Ye Guhong picked it up quickly and opened it. There was no signal. Looking at the date, Ye Guhong’s eyes couldn’t help but widen 鈥�

I’ve been in the ancient world for forty years, so how could it only be… a month?

Is this because the time flows at different speeds in different worlds, or is it a change caused by crossing the time line?

He couldn’t figure it out for a moment, so he went to the doctor’s office again, found a pair of shoes that fit him reasonably well, and went downstairs slowly, rummaging for a long screwdriver.

After descending three floors, he saw a sea of people, quietly crowding in the lobby, their bodies swaying slightly, their faces facing the direction of the door.

The stench of rotten flesh filled his nostrils.

Ye Kuhong let out a silent whistle.

Wow! Hundreds of people turned their heads at the same time, revealing their ragged and hideous faces.

They then pounced with excitement, as if they had seen food.

They really were zombies!

Ye Guhong was shocked, but not panicked. With a move called 鈥淪amadhi Freedom鈥�, he stabbed the sharp-sounding drill into the eyes of three zombies in succession.

The zombies fell over, blocking the zombies behind them for a moment. Ye Guhong took the opportunity to turn around and go upstairs, rushing to the second floor glass window. With a soft palm, he delivered a blow, and the glass shattered silently. Ye Guhong leaped into the air, gathered his strength, and landed steadily.

What the hell is going on in this world!

Ye Guhong gritted his teeth, looking at the city, which looked as if it had just been devastated by a world war, and a great sense of unease welled up in his heart.

I have to go home and take a look!

This hospital is not far from his home.

Once he had made up his mind, Ye Guhong immediately walked towards home, but as soon as he walked out of the hospital doors, he saw a van speeding towards him, with thousands of zombies running behind it.

Ye Guhong was about to turn back and hide when suddenly the van slammed on the brakes, squealing to a halt in front of him. The door swung open and a middle-aged woman burst out, crying, 鈥淕uhong, you made it! That’s great! We were just coming to rescue you.鈥�

My mom? Ye Guhong was taken aback and looked sideways. Sure enough, the middle-aged man driving the van was Ye Guhong’s father.

My parents have grown some skills, daring to rescue me in this situation?

Ye Guhong was still too moved to react when he heard a cold but sweet female voice from the car: 鈥淪tepmother, his name is Guhong?鈥� Ye Guhong turned his head and saw a cute little face poking out of the back seat of the car, looking to be no more than fifteen or sixteen years old.

The girl looked steadily at Ye Guhong and frowned, saying, 鈥淚f your adoptive father’s surname is Ye, doesn’t that mean his name is Ye Guhong?鈥�

Ye’s mother nodded repeatedly: 鈥淵es, yes, your brother is Ye Guhong! Guhong, this is Fang Qingqing, the daughter of your father’s old friend Fang Laoshi. When we were fleeing for our lives, Fang Laoshi was bitten by a zombie. Before he died, he asked us to take care of his daughter. Alas, I never thought that this girl would be so desperate that she jumped from the third floor at night. Fortunately, she only fainted for half a day. We were afraid that she would take her own life again, so we adopted her as our daughter. From now on, she will be your real younger sister.鈥�

Ye’s father anxiously said, 鈥淟ook at your big mouth, is this the time to talk? Son, get in the car, we’ll talk when we get to safety.鈥�

At this time, the closest zombie had already chased them within ten meters.

Fang Qingqing shouted, 鈥淵ou get in the car, I’ll go block the zombies!鈥�

Before the words had finished, she swept out of the car like a nimble swallow, clutching a sharpened steel bar in her hand, which she swung with a clattering sound, stabbing and knocking over a group of zombies.

As Ye Guhong’s mother pulled Ye Guhong into the car, she spoke quickly without stopping: 鈥淵our sister also practices martial arts, and she is not some fake like the kind you practice. Without her, we couldn’t have saved you…Qingqing, hurry, let’s go!鈥�

Fang Qingqing responded, performing the 鈥淲hite Elephant with Six Teeth鈥� move, stabbing and knocking over six zombies at the same time. She turned around, leapt from the car door, and looked Ye Guhong in the eye for a moment before the two of them spoke at the same time.

鈥淗aha, you’ll be my little sister from now on?鈥�

鈥滻 don’t like that name. Can you change it?鈥�

鈥滺old on tight!”

Ye’s father yelled, slammed on the gas, and the car roared out, carrying the family towards an unknown future.
