In Xia Yuzhen's heart, her enmity with "Shang Yun" had long become a private grudge that could never be untangled.
Her "failure" needed an outlet. Otherwise, without anything external to steady her Dao heart, it would keep sinking until it destroyed itself in madness.
And naturally, she set that outlet upon Li Qingyun.
"If not for Shang Yun, how could I have fallen to this state? If I get the chance, I definitely won't let you off!"
"The Ji clan and Yu clan deserve death as well! How dare they ignore my warning and secretly supply artifact-refining materials to his Qingyun Treasure Pavilion!"
Xia Yuzhen unfurled her form and swiftly searched several nearby Sequence Chains, attempting to find traces related to the disappearance of those two Xia Clan Supreme Beings.
Although she suspected Li Qingyun was involved, the Xia Clan's secret arts she prided herself on showed that he truly had nothing to do with it.
She had now been reduced to an "idle person" in the Xia Clan, able only to handle such unimportant errands.
If she could not even do this well, she would naturally be despised all the more.
From standing at the height of the blazing sun to being shunned by everyone, it was truly too difficult for her—accustomed to holding great power—to adapt to or endure.
And most importantly, the little pawn whose success or failure she could once decide with a single word had now truly grown into something formidable.
"Chaotic times have arrived. For a scoundrel like Shang Yun, it is like a fish in water. It really is possible for him to accumulate a hundred Special Military Merits. I absolutely cannot give him the chance..."
Xia Yuzhen deliberately followed Li Qingyun's trail, intending to hinder him from earning merit through Suppress Witch.
