When Bai Di and his entourage returned to the Bai residence, their faces were ashen.

As soon as she stepped into her room, she went berserk, grabbing whatever was around her and smashing it wildly.

The vase shattered against the wall, shards flying everywhere; tables and chairs were overturned, making a dull thud.

At this moment, she was radiating intense anger, her rage reaching its peak.

"Why?! Why?" Bai Di roared hoarsely, "Why is she still alive? Why doesn't she just die?! I've put in so much effort and I'm so powerful now. I should be the center of attention, but why does she have to show up and ruin my plans?!"

I called so many people to kill her! Why? That damned old man, why did he protect her?!

Why? Why?

Why does she get all the good things?! Why?!

Jealousy surged like a tidal wave, completely engulfing Bai Di and leaving her unable to extricate herself.

She paced back and forth in the room, clutching her hair with both hands until her nails almost dug into her scalp, in so much pain she was nearly going crazy.

From childhood to adulthood, she had never been in such pain as she was now; it felt like a million ants were gnawing at her heart.

How could she accept that someone who had died and disappeared from her life had miraculously come back to life and reappeared in her world?

The patriarch of the Bai family happened to pass by Bai Di's room and frowned upon hearing the commotion inside.

He pushed open the door and saw the room in disarray, with Bai Di looking utterly dejected. He was filled with questions. He turned to the cultivator beside Bai Di and asked, "What happened?"

When the clan leader asked the question, the cultivators dared not conceal anything and hurriedly told him everything that had happened.

Upon hearing this, the clan chief's expression instantly turned serious.

He hadn't expected Bai Ying to be so powerful, able to withstand a move from a Void Refinement stage expert with only the strength of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

A bitter smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.

Such talent is simply monstrous; his future prospects are undoubtedly limitless.

Thinking of this, the clan chief couldn't help but sigh deeply.

He had been in seclusion cultivating until recently, when he heard about Bai Ying from other elders in the clan.

Such a peerless genius was easily abandoned by the Grand Elder and her own parents, so naturally she no longer has any attachment to the Bai family.

The clan leader was filled with regret, but there was nothing he could do to change the situation.

However, before the clan leader could recover from his regret over Bai Ying, the cultivators continued to talk about the old man's deeds.

"Everyone at the scene said with certainty that the old man's cultivation level was at least at the Integration Stage."

At the time, many prominent figures were vying to befriend and curry favor with him, but he simply glanced at them and left with Bai Ying.

As he left, he muttered some inexplicable thing, like he was too late.

The man recounted the news he had heard in detail. As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Di suddenly grabbed a delicate ornament next to him and smashed it down with all his might. The ornament shattered on the ground instantly.

Whenever Bai Di recalls that scene, the jealousy in her heart spreads wildly like weeds, almost threatening to devour her entirely.

Her face was contorted and looked somewhat ferocious.

Has such a powerful person been blinded? Can't he see that she is far more powerful than Bai Ying now? Why does he only have eyes for Bai Ying and ignore her completely?

But as the clan leader listened to the cultivator's description, his previously narrowed eyes suddenly widened, a sharp glint flashing within them, as if he had caught some crucial information. "What did you say?"

His voice unconsciously rose, and then, as if remembering something of utmost importance, he quickly reached into his storage bag and swiftly pulled out an ancient bamboo scroll.

His brows furrowed, and his hands trembled slightly as he rapidly flipped through the dense text on the bamboo slips. Suddenly, as if he had seen something, the corners of his previously tense lips curled up into a meaningful smile.

He turned his head, looked at Bai Di who was still venting his anger, shook his head slightly, and had a faint sense of helplessness on his face.

"Alright, stop being angry. That old man took Bai Ying away not out of protection or concern for her, but quite the opposite; he was sending Bai Ying to her doom!"

Bai Di, who was still consumed by jealousy, looked at the clan leader with disbelief. "Clan leader, what did you say? How is this possible?"

In fact, the clan chief secretly breathed a sigh of relief as he said these words.

His thoughts were exactly the same as those of the former Grand Elder.

Now that Bai Ying has no connection with the Bai family, and given her extraordinary talent, he naturally doesn't want her to become stronger in the future and become a major threat to the Bai family.

Upon hearing this news, he felt as if a heavy weight had finally been lifted from his heart.

"Our Bai family ancestors once left behind a scroll of insights about the Great Secret Realm. This scroll records that the secret treasure of Cangmang Mountain can only be truly opened by using the Spirit Gathering Pearl as a key."

"I previously searched the Grand Elder's memories, and he personally witnessed Bai Ying taking the Spirit Gathering Pearl."

The clan leader was really angry and anxious at that time, but now, he curled up the corners of his mouth and said to Bai Di, "Guess why such a powerful old man suddenly appeared, yet he was willing to fight against all the cultivators for Bai Ying alone?"

Bai Di immediately exclaimed, "He's using Bai Ying as a key!"

“Yes!” the clan chief replied affirmatively.

Bai Di burst into laughter, his joy overflowing.

"So, he will definitely take the Spirit Gathering Pearl from Bai Ying's body. Once he gets the Spirit Gathering Pearl, Bai Ying will be useless to him. At that time, Bai Ying will either die or become a cripple!"

Her eyes were full of anticipation as she looked at the clan leader. When the clan leader smiled and nodded in approval, she was overjoyed.

Aaaaaaah!

Great! She was almost driven to death by jealousy and anger, but she never expected things to take such a turn for the better. The thought of Bai Ying's impending tragic end made her want to burst into laughter.

Judging by the timeline, Bai Ying has probably already had the Spirit Gathering Pearl removed! And I will soon replace her and become the true number one among the younger generation of the Lingchuan Continent!
