217: Chapter 217 The beautiful wife cries out about being hunted down; the painting reveals a scheme involving ice and snow.

On the other side of the jade pendant, Xiao Ruoxue's voice was filled with unprecedented panic and helplessness.

She had just made a Breakthrough to Immortal King and should have been in high spirits, enjoying the admiring gazes of her entire Family.

But in the blink of an eye, the man she loved with all her heart and regarded as a god had been listed by her own Family as a top-Rank pursuit target.

This feeling of falling from heaven into Hell made her nearly collapse.

"Husband, where are you? I... I'll go find you! I don't want to stay in this Family anymore; I want to go with you!"

Xiao Ruoxue's crying carried a hint of resolve.

In her heart, the entire Xiao Family couldn't compare to a single hair on Su Yun's head.

"What are you crying for?"

Su Yun's voice came through clearly via the jade pendant.

It was still that same calm and indifferent tone, as if the person being wanted by the entire Lower Realm wasn't him at all.

"Such a small scene has already made you lose your composure?"

Hearing this familiar voice, Xiao Ruoxue's crying miraculously stopped.

She held the jade pendant blankly, the overwhelming panic in her heart seemingly smoothed over in an instant.

That's right, he was Su Yun.

He was the man who had trampled all the Prodigies of the Xiao Family, suppressed the Tianshu Young Lord with a single finger, and even dared to challenge an Immortal Emperor to his face.

How could a mere pursuit order from the Xiao Family possibly do anything to him?

"But... husband, the Grand Elder and the others are determined to deal with you this time. They've even used the Heavenly Net Mirror left by the Old Ancestor, which can monitor the entire area under the Xiao Family's jurisdiction. You..."

Xiao Ruoxue was still deeply worried.

"Just a bunch of local riffraff; they won't be able to stir up any waves."

Su Yun interrupted her directly, his tone leaving no room for doubt.

"You can't go anywhere right now; just stay obediently in the Xiao Family for me."

"Why?" Xiao Ruoxue was puzzled.

"Because I need an inside agent."

Su Yun's voice took on a hint of playfulness.

"Don't those old fogies want to find me? You just watch them closely for me. See how they jump around, and see what new movements there are from the Tianshu Palace side."

"I..." Xiao Ruoxue hesitated.

To have her betray her Family and be an inside agent, this...

"What, unwilling?" Su Yun's voice turned a few degrees colder.

"No! I am willing! I will do whatever my husband asks of me!"

Xiao Ruoxue's heart shivered, and she instantly threw all her hesitation to the back of her mind.

Family, morality—none of it was worth mentioning in front of Su Yun.

"Very good."

Su Yun nodded with satisfaction.

"Remember, protect yourself and don't let them see any flaws. Once I finish handling the matters at hand, I will go back to find you."

He then taught her a secret code known only to the two of them for future communication before hanging up the transmission.

"Husband, we're just leaving like this? Sister Ruoxue..." Zi Yun was a bit worried.

"Don't worry, she's smarter than you think."

Su Yun pinched her cheek. With a thought, the entrance to the map of mountains and rivers slowly opened before them.

"Let's go. It's windy outside; let's go home and have a meeting."

...

Inside the map of mountains and rivers, it was still the same scene of lingering Immortal Qi,

surrounding a scene of birds singing and flowers blooming.

As soon as Su Yun appeared with Zi Yun, several beautiful figures emerged from the bamboo house nearby to greet them.

"Husband!"

"Young Master!"

Ye Qingyu, Liu Qingyan, Liu Yuqin, and Luo Bingyan, who had been silently guarding the bamboo house.

Seeing Su Yun return safe and sound, they all showed expressions of joy.

Especially Luo Bingyan; her ice-blue Phoenix eyes hadn't left him from the moment he appeared.

When she sensed the aura on Su Yun, which was deeper and more vast than before,

and saw that the Bloodline of Zi Yun beside him had completely transformed, even carrying a faint hint of divine pressure, her pupils contracted imperceptibly.

She knew that while she wasn't looking, her husband and this vixen had gained another incredible Opportunity.

A faint sense of crisis rose in her heart.

Su Yun naturally took in all the women's reactions.

He didn't waste words and directly revealed everything that had happened at the Xiao Family, as well as the pursuit order that had spread throughout the Lower Realm.

"That's how it is. For the next period of time, we might have to change locations."

Su Yun sat on a stone stool in front of the bamboo house, his gaze sweeping over every woman present.

"Everyone, speak up. Any good places to go?"

Rather than a strategic meeting, this was more like a Family meeting.

"Go to the Star-Moon Holy Land!"

Ye Qingyu was the first to speak, her eyes flashing with the flames of revenge.

"That is the Moon Goddess's largest orthodoxy in the Lower Realm. Now that the Moon Goddess has acknowledged you as master, we can use the power of the Star-Moon Holy Land to consolidate our forces and counterattack the Heaven Burial Palace!"

Su Yun shook his head.

"Too far. The Star-Moon Holy Land is located in the North Cold Immortal Domain, separated from the East Xuan Immortal Realm where we are now by hundreds of millions of miles of void wasteland. With our current Immortal Boat, it would take several months to fly there. There are too many variables."

He looked at Luo Bingyan.

"Junior Sister, what about you?"

Luo Bingyan pondered for a moment before speaking slowly, her voice as cold as ever.

"Senior Brother, I also once left an orthodoxy in the East Xuan Immortal Realm called the 'Extreme Cold Immortal Palace'."

"Although the scale isn't large, the entire Sect consists of female Disciples, and I've used Upper Realm Cold Iron to set up the Nine Bends Mysterious Ice Formation around the mountain gate. It's enough to withstand a full-strength blow from an Immortal Lord in the Late Stage. The location is also relatively hidden, only a three-day journey from here."

After hearing this, Su Yun immediately made a decision.

"Good, we'll go to your place!"

The distance was moderate, the defense was strong enough, and most importantly, it was Luo Bingyan's territory—his own person, so he could use it with peace of mind.

The strategic foothold was thus decided.

The meeting dispersed, and the women went back to their rooms to prepare.

Su Yun noticed Liu Qingyan pulling her sister Liu Yuqin aside, looking hesitant and troubled.

"What's wrong?" Su Yun asked softly.

When he asked, Liu Qingyan's eyes instantly turned red.

She bit her lip and whispered.

"Husband... I've been away from the Wanfa Immortal Sect for almost a year. A few days ago, I received a transmission from my father saying that... something went wrong on his end. I want to... I want to take Yuqin back to see him."

After saying that, she lowered her head in fear, afraid that Su Yun would be unhappy because of it.

After all, they were in need of people right now, and her leaving the team was really ill-timed.

Hearing this, Su Yun laughed.

"If you miss home, go back and visit. It's only natural. There's nothing you can't say."

He waved his hand magnanimously. "Go ahead. It's fine to stay for a while."

As he spoke, he took out a large amount of Immortal Pills and Magic Treasures he had looted from Ye Wuhun, the Xiao Family Old Ancestor, and others from his storage ring and stuffed them all into Liu Qingyan's hands.

"Take these things for protection on the road. Remember, if anything happens, transmit a message to me at any time. No matter how far it is, I will arrive as soon as possible."

"Husband..."

Liu Qingyan looked at the mountain of treasures in her hands, each one enough to make external Immortal Lords fight to the death.

Feeling the undisguised care in Su Yun's words, the tears in her eyes could no longer be held back and fell pattering down.

She said nothing, only pulled her sister and gave Su Yun a deep, graceful bow.

...

That night.

In Su Yun's bamboo house, the candlelight flickered.

A faint fragrance permeated the air.

Just as Su Yun sat cross-legged, preparing to meditate and consolidate his gains from today...

The door was gently pushed open.

Liu Qingyan and Liu Yuqin had both changed into thin gauze dresses, their beautiful figures

looming in the candlelight, their exquisite faces carrying a hint of shyness and a hint of resolve.

"Husband..."

Liu Qingyan's voice trembled slightly.

"We... we sisters are very grateful to our husband."

"Only... only with these pure bodies."

After saying that, she actually took the initiative to step forward.

Their silken garments were slowly lowered by pairs of slender, jade-like hands.

Looking at the erotic scene before him, enough to make any man's blood boil, Su Yun's breathing also became a bit heavy.

He was no Saint.

For a time, within the bamboo house, the spring scenery was boundless.

The night grew deeper.
