C1 [su Yun Leveled Up.]

Inside the chamber.

"Ugh..."

Su Yun sat up on the bed, the remnants of a dreamlike haze prompting him to rub his head as he opened his bleary eyes.

The pink canopy, the white carpet, and a unique fragrance lingering in the air...

"Where am I?"

The sight of the room sparked a flicker of confusion in his eyes.

But then, as if remembering something, he slapped his forehead, "I can't believe I fell asleep in Yilan's room..."

"Where's Yilan, though?"

His eyes scanned the room.

"Ahh!!!"

Just then, a piercing scream from a woman erupted from behind him.

"Hmm?"

Turning around, Su Yun was surprised to find someone else on the bed behind him.

A beautiful girl with tousled hair, clad only in a dudou!

"Yun Liyao?"

Recognizing the girl, Su Yun was momentarily taken aback, "What are you doing here?"

While speaking, he also realized he was wearing nothing but a pair of white pants.

"Su Yun, you despicable scoundrel! How dare you defile my purity? I will kill you!!"

The girl's fury erupted as she raised her hand, sending a surge of creamy-white energy hurtling toward him.

"Defile... your purity?"

Su Yun was shocked.

As she launched her attack, his face paled. He tried to dodge but inexplicably found his body unresponsive.

Thud!

Her palm struck with deceptive strength, belying its delicate appearance.

Splutter!

Su Yun was blasted away, slamming into the wall and rebounding to the floor, coughing up a mouthful of blood.

The pain was excruciating, but even more bewildering was the sight before him...

How on earth did Yun Liyao end up here?

Crash!

But before he could ponder any further, the room's door was violently burst open, and a procession of people entered.

Leading them was a young man in his twenties, dressed in ornate attire.

"Liyao!"

The finely dressed young man caught sight of the tearful beauty, hastily covering herself with a bedsheet, and asked in astonishment, "What's going on here?"

"Brother, this despicable scoundrel tricked me into coming here and drugged me with an aphrodisiac! He... he..."

The girl's voice trailed off as she looked on the verge of tears.

Su Yun was dumbfounded.

He had tricked Yun Liyao into coming here and drugged her? How could this...

"Scum, kill this damn cur!"

Before Su Yun could even process the situation, the young man in fine clothing commanded coldly.

The Yun family members who had accompanied him swarmed forward at his order.

"Wait..."

Su Yun's expression shifted in alarm.

"To think you would defile Miss Liyao, I'll kill you myself!"

But the Yun family members didn't give him a chance to explain; one of them floored him with a solid punch.

Before he could even recover, a barrage of kicks pummeled him relentlessly.

Puff!

Su Yun's eyes popped as he coughed up a mouthful of blood.

The assailants showed no signs of stopping, their punches and kicks raining down without mercy.

Crack! Crack! The sound of his ribs breaking was unmistakable, and the excruciating pain made him feel as though his body was coming apart at the seams.

"Stop!"

Just when he thought his body couldn't take any more, a stern command halted the onslaught.

"I..."

Bloodied and battered, he struggled to lift his head, trying to speak to the young man in luxurious attire approaching him.

Bang!

But a heavy foot on his chest cut him off, forcing another gush of blood from his mouth.

His face turned a deep shade of red, struggling for breath under the pressure.

"You fool, to dare sully my sister!"

The young man looked down at him with icy contempt, his foot poised for another strike. "I'm going to cripple you!"

He targeted Su Yun's abdomen.

"No! You can't..."

Su Yun's face twisted in horror, the pain forgotten as he tried to scream in protest.

Pow!

But his plea was cut short as the foot came crashing down on his abdomen with decisive force.

Bang!

It was like a balloon bursting into pieces.

Su Yun was in shock!

Frozen in place!

Because he could feel it so clearly...

It was shattered!

His dantian, located in his lower abdomen, had been crushed by a single kick from his opponent!

On the Soul Sky Continent, power reigned supreme.

Soul Cultivators were the most common profession and the embodiment of strength. The dantian was the cornerstone of a Soul Cultivator's practice.

Now, the elegantly dressed young man had destroyed his dantian, effectively ruining his cultivation!

He hadn't even grasped the situation, and he was already crippled!

"Yun Feng!"

Overcome with rage, Su Yun's shout was tinged with blood, his eyes rapidly filling with veins.

But when he locked eyes with the young man in the luxurious robe, he froze.

Those eyes, once cold and harsh, now brimmed with mockery.

Similarly, the Yun family members and the weeping girl on the bed looked on with scornful amusement.

"You... all of you..."

In an instant, Su Yun realized the betrayal. Bloodshot eyes wide, he glared at Yun Feng before him.

"Yun Feng! Yun Liyao!"

He screamed wildly, trying to rise.

Bang!

But the young man in the robe delivered a brutal kick to his stomach.

Puff!

A gush of blood escaped Su Yun's lips as he was sent flying to the threshold, crashing down hard.

The pain was so severe he nearly passed out.

Yet, the words ringing in his ears filled his chest with a fiery rage.

"Su Yun lured my sister Liyao here with the intent of dishonor, using an aphrodisiac to incapacitate her. Luckily, I sensed something amiss and arrived just in time! Following family law, I've stripped this wretch of his cultivation as a warning to others!"

Yun Feng's voice was icy as he commanded, "Take this scum to the dungeon to await his punishment!"

"You...ugh—"

Enraged, Su Yun spat out more blood. Already grievously injured, his anger overwhelmed him, and he lost consciousness.

The Yun family members acted swiftly, lifting the unconscious Su Yun and carrying him out of the room like an animal to the slaughter.

Pain!

Excruciating pain!

Su Yun felt as though his body was being relentlessly ripped apart. The severe agony had caused him to lose consciousness several times, only to be jolted awake by the pain again and again. Eventually, he even began to lose sensation.

But the fury burning within him refused to let his will be extinguished.

"Yun Feng! Yun Liyao!"

His roar was filled with rage.

He had finally pieced it all together.

The entire ordeal had been an elaborate ruse orchestrated by the siblings!

A few hours earlier, he had been summoned by his wife Yun Yilan's personal maid, who claimed that Yun Yilan had just returned from seclusion and needed to speak with him urgently, asking him to wait in her chambers. Su Yun, unsuspecting, complied and went to Yun Yilan's room, only to inexplicably fall into a deep slumber.

Upon awakening, he found himself in the midst of the chaos that had unfolded.

Reflecting on the situation, he realized the peculiar scent that pervaded Yun Yilan's room was undoubtedly a potent sleeping incense, designed to render someone unconscious and powerless.

Yun Liyao accused him of using the incense to incapacitate her, but in truth, it was the other way around.

And then there was Zilan, Yun Yilan's personal maid...

Su Yun clenched his teeth, now certain that she had been bought off by Yun Feng and Yun Liyao.

Only Zilan, as Yun Yilan's confidante, had the access and knowledge of her mistress's movements to facilitate Yun Feng and Yun Liyao's scheme within Yun Yilan's chambers.

And because it was Yun Yilan's own room, Su Yun had let his guard down...

Their ultimate goal was clear: to ruin him and tarnish the reputation of his father-in-law.

The Yun family was a prestigious cultivating lineage within the East Domain of the Soul Sky Continent. Su Yun, married into the Yun family, was the son-in-law of the Great Elder, while the father of Yun Feng and Yun Liyao held the position of second elder.

With the Old Family Head of the Yun family on the cusp of retirement, these two heirs had become the prime contenders for the next family patriarch.

The repercussions of his supposed misdeeds on the Great Elder, his father-in-law, were not hard to imagine.

"If I, Su Yun, survive this, I swear you'll pay back a hundredfold!"

The sneers and mockery of Yun Feng and Yun Liyao echoed in his mind, igniting a furious roar from Su Yun.

Never had he felt such burning hatred!

His cultivation!

His entire life's cultivation!

He had dedicated himself to grueling practice since the age of six, amassing twelve years of hard-earned progress.

And now it was all gone!

Just like that, gone!

Overwhelmed by sorrow and agony, Su Yun teetered on the brink of madness.

Puff!

The emotional turmoil exacerbated his internal injuries, causing copious amounts of blood to gush from his mouth. The relentless pain wracking his body made it impossible to hold on, and his consciousness began to fade, bit by bit.

In the moment his consciousness was nearly extinguished...

"Buzz!"

A glimmer of light burst forth from his chest, spreading like ripples on the surface of water...
