Chapter 268 A Beautiful Figure in the Snow
The next morning——

The enchanting fragrance of musk orchids still lingered in the palace, and colorful skirts and hems were scattered everywhere.

Beside the dressing table, on the side of the carved pillars, and beside the screen, there were scattered silk gauze hanging down in disarray. The silk and satin were wrapped around the beams like colorful ribbons, and the floor was a complete mess.

Inside the sheer curtains, a voluptuous body lay sprawled, occasionally uttering languid murmurs.

Su Cheng straightened his robes in front of the mirror, turned around and looked at his wife who was still fast asleep on the brocade couch, and smiled slightly.

"Sha'er, if there is anything important, you can use this jade to call me."

He gently placed the jade beside his pillow. "I have refined this jade again; not only is the sound transmission clearer, but it can also reflect a hazy image."

"Mmm," Feng Sha's golden hair spread out on the brocade couch, her alluring face still flushed, she responded softly, "My husband, please take care on this journey."

Su Cheng placed a light kiss on her forehead, picked up the puppet whose legs were limp, and quietly left.

"Young Master?"

The maidservant standing guard outside the hall trembled slightly, her face flushed as she asked softly, "Are you going to..."

"I need to be away for a while."

Su Cheng calmly instructed, "Take good care of Sha'er and don't let her overwork."

"Yes, I understand, slave."

The young maidservant quickly bowed in response, but suddenly felt her legs go weak and she almost stumbled and fell to her knees.

Su Cheng casually took her arm and said with a faint smile, "You don't need to come so early in the future, it's fine to come later."

"."

The young maid blushed, her legs clamping tightly together in embarrassment, and she responded in a trembling voice.

Watching Su Cheng ride away on his sword, she leaned against a vermilion pillar, hugging the arm that had just been touched, and curled up in embarrassment.

Tick ​​tock, tick tock.
In the quiet corridor, the sound of a clear spring can be faintly heard.

Chi——!
The sword light pierced the air and in an instant it had left the imperial city.

Su Cheng sat cross-legged on the sword, letting the puppet lean against his chest.

"You're going to ruin so many women in the future."

Shi Xuan sighed softly in her ear: "Unconsciously, your aura has become so frighteningly intense. An ordinary woman probably couldn't withstand your words."

Su Cheng smoothed the puppet's bangs and chuckled, "I'll be more careful in the future."

"Fortunately, your lovers are also unusual."

Shi Xuan's tone turned strange again: "I didn't expect Miss Feng to have such an interest."

On the night of their parting, Feng Sha truly came up with a unique idea, changing into all her treasured fine clothes and accessories, and displaying a myriad of charms in each.
“She was really thoughtful last night.”

This was the first time he had ever seen his Empress's collection of clothes, which was so rich and varied.

Finally, they even dug out the lotus-patterned ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress) they wore as children.
It has to be said that deliberately showing a cute expression with that noble and charming face is truly captivating.

"Ahem, let's not get any wild ideas right now."

Shi Xuan blushed and cleared his throat: "On our journey to the You Clan, shall we ask Xiao Fu or Miss Lü for assistance?"

"They are still in seclusion, so there's no need to disturb them."

Su Cheng calmed himself down, then took out a map and unfolded it. "After all, it's a grudge and entanglement with the Heaven-Seizing Alliance, so there's no need to put them in danger."

Shi Xuan remained noncommittal. If those girls learned of the news after emerging from seclusion, they would likely rush to help immediately.
"However, this land of the Netherworld is indeed very remote."

Su Cheng stared at the location marked on the map, his brows furrowing slightly.

Although the You Clan is located in the western part of the Five Desolate Regions, it is close to the edge of the continent and tens of thousands of miles away from Dongchen.

"Wait, this place..."

Su Cheng's gaze sharpened slightly. "I remember Xuan'er, you mentioned before that this seems to be... the Tongtian Gate?"

"Hmm." Shi Xuan replied, "The Tongtian Gate lies between the two deep valleys. It is rumored to be a dangerous secret realm, but I don't know the specifics of its mystery."

"It seems that we can take the opportunity to investigate along the way."

Su Cheng still remembered the Heavenly Gate Key he had found in the Seven Star Ruins.

Perhaps more truths about the destruction of the Seven Star Immortal Sect and the Underworld can be found within the Heavenly Gate.
As the wind and snow began to rise, the world was already covered in a blanket of white.

Within the vast territory of the You Clan, numerous spirit ships shuttled back and forth, as various forces had already arrived in droves.

Above a remote ancient town, an exquisite spirit boat slowly sailed by.

Ding bell~
The gauze curtain was gently lifted, and with the crisp sound of silver bells, a graceful figure appeared. Her emerald green dress danced like lotus leaves, her delicate embroidered shoes lightly stepped across the deck, and her waist-length black hair swayed in the breeze.

As the breeze stirred, her slender legs, encased in white gauze stockings, were faintly visible, making her appear even more pure and lovely.

"The atmosphere here is quite strange." Her delicate voice was soft and sweet, yet tinged with confusion.

“Little sister, your cultivation has indeed improved greatly this time.”

A soft laugh came from inside the cabin: "You've even managed to detect the fluctuations in the aura of this place; that's quite an improvement."

"Hmm," the young woman said, her cheeks flushing slightly from the compliment.

But when he thought of the figure he cared about, his youthful face gained a touch of determination.

If I want to help my brother, my current level of cultivation is far from enough.
She hurried to the railing, stood on tiptoe, and barely managed to peek out to look down.

"The strange source is..."

Her eyes suddenly lit up, and her delicate white hand pointed directly at the tall tower in the town. "It's there!"

"You found it perfectly."

A beautiful figure appeared quietly, brushing her hair aside and chuckling softly: "The source of the evil energy in this town is indeed in the tower, but it's much more than that."

"Huh?" The young lady turned around in confusion: "Sister Wen, is there some other source of trouble?"

"It's the whole town."

Wen Qimeng's smile faded, and she coldly surveyed all sides of the ancient town.

"Although you have achieved some success in your cultivation, remember not to rely entirely on your divine sense. Evil cultivators have countless ways of hiding themselves, and sometimes the naked eye can better distinguish between truth and falsehood."

"."

The young woman seemed lost in thought, then looked towards the ancient town once more.

Only then did they realize that there were few pedestrians on the street, and the few people who were there walked unsteadily, like walking corpses.

"those people"

“They are not living people at all,” Wen Qimeng murmured. “Even this town is probably already abandoned.”

The little girl's face froze slightly, then a look of surprise gradually appeared.

"So, this place isn't inhabited by ordinary people at all, but rather a trap?"

"Yes."

Wen Qimeng glanced meaningfully into the distance. "We didn't wear our clan emblem on this trip, so we're likely being watched long before we even get there."

As soon as he finished speaking, strange spiritual energy fluctuations appeared around the ancient town, and a thick fog began to rise.

The young woman's face tightened slightly, and she whispered, "This place is already the territory of the Heaven-Seizing Alliance, yet a cultivator would still dare to make a move?"

"We're still on the outskirts, so the Heavenly Alliance would likely have little control over us. Besides—"

Wen Qimeng gently instructed, "Fighting among cultivators is commonplace, so why would the Heaven-Seizing Alliance interfere?"

"Young lady, you're quite insightful for your age." A loud laugh suddenly rang out.

The two looked in the direction of the sound and saw a tall figure standing in mid-air, holding a mysteriously patterned umbrella that shimmered with light.

"I assumed you were young, but I didn't expect you to be so naive."

The tall cultivator gently waved his precious umbrella, and the surrounding fog gradually gathered. His face was solemn as he said, "I advise you to surrender quickly, so you can avoid some suffering. If you become the accomplices of this umbrella, then you can..."

"Judging from your attire, you seem to be a cultivator from the Azure Water Sect?"

Wen Qimeng's eyes grew increasingly playful as she casually asked, "Did you come alone?"

Noticing her indifferent attitude, the Biyue Sect cultivator's expression hardened: "My good intentions have been wasted. I'll send you on your way now—hmm?"

The words stopped abruptly.

His pupils contracted sharply, and he saw a burst of mysterious light on the spirit boat, and a coiled thunder dragon actually condensed in the palm of the petite girl!

"Hey!"

The young woman cried out and forcefully hurled the thunder dragon in her palm.

In an instant, thunder roared and exploded, and the sound of a dragon's roar resounded through the sky.

"What—" The Biyue Sect cultivator's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly raised his umbrella, but was blasted hundreds of feet away by the thunder dragon, dragging black smoke as he fell into the town.
