The instant Mu Xuanzhi was crushed to death by the Great Dao Atlas, a mournful cry rang out from the direction of Emperor Star, filled with boundless sorrow.
The crowd, still immersed in shock, turned in surprise toward Emperor Star.
They saw a woman of flawless beauty clutching her head and weeping bitterly. Crystal-clear tears kept rolling from the corners of her eyes. She was heartbroken, consumed by pain.
She knelt helplessly on the ground, sobbing as tears streamed down her face. Trembling, she looked toward the place where Mu Xuanzhi had fallen, her eyes filled with anguish.
He was dead... The only person she had ever trusted... Her companion, whom she had treated like family, had been killed by her own people!
She had seen every little thing clearly, but by the time she rushed out, it was too late. She could only watch Mu Xuanzhi fall with her own eyes.
Remorse, resentment, and grief surged together. Xia Qiuer's heart completely lost control. With Mu Xuanzhi's death, it collapsed in an instant, and her Dao Heart shattered.
"Ah!!"
"Why!!"
"You... Why would you do this!!"
Xia Qiuer screamed herself hoarse, completely lost to despair, her pain unbearable as tears continued to fall.
Her companion, whom she had treated like family, had killed the friend she trusted most. Who could understand that kind of pain?
The one person her heart had left to cling to had died before her eyes. Who could understand that kind of pain?
"Saintess Qiu'er, why... are you here?" Yanqing, covered in blood, stared at Xia Qiuer in shock.
Hadn't Xia Qiuer been sealed away? When had she gotten out? And how had she managed to slip past all the Quasi-Immortal Emperors and leave Emperor Star?
It wasn't just her. Hong Wang and the Imperial Court
