Cultivator With Modern AI-Chapter 523 Their Report
While Xia Tian was having fun with Estella, four women sat together in a room, and one of the women spoke first. "Now no one can eavesdrop on us, so the three of you can tell me the truth. How did the ancient ruin disappear? And who is that woman who was with Xia Tian? I can feel that she is very strong, and she is probably much stronger than Zhu Yuhe."
"Yunzi, you are not wrong with that; that woman is indeed much stronger than Zhu Yuhe." Situ Meiqi spoke first because she was the one who had listened to Xia Tian's conversation with the others before. "Her name is Estella, and she is the owner of the ancient ruins."
"Eh? So the news that a cultivator is hiding in the ancient ruin is true, huh?" Back then, Yu Yunzhi herself also participated in the exploration together with the former sect master, but they didn't encounter any significant obstacles at that time, and she only heard from several people whose comrades died in the ancient ruin about the presence of a strong cultivator within it.
"Yes." The three women nodded to her, and Situ Meiqi continued. "Anyway, you don't need to worry about that woman, Yunzhi. Xia Tian has already taken her as her slave, so she won't be able to roam around, let alone do anything bad in this Seven Star World."
Yu Yunzhi looked at Situ Meiqi in disbelief. She knew Xia Tian possessed many extraordinary abilities, but she did not expect him to subdue, let alone enslave, a woman as powerful as Estella. Then she took a deep breath and asked again. "Then where is the ancient ruin now?"
"The ancient ruin was a fortress, and it is now in Xia Tian's hands because he has taken control of it from Estella's hands."
"What!? A fortress?" Yu Yunzhi was shocked once again.
As her body trembled strongly, remembering the incident in the fortress, Qin Qing also spoke to her in a gloomy tone. "Trust me, Yunzhi. You don't want to go in that place; that place is really scary and full of human skeletons, and that woman is even more terrifying."
"What has she done to you? Why are you so afraid of her?" Yu Yunzhi curiously asked; she had never seen Qin Qing frightened like that before.
Before Qin Qing answered her, Feng Xian'er had already answered her first. "Estella turned Qin Qing into a soulless doll, then she controlled her to kill Yang Yao and eat his heart."
"Xian'er!" Qin Qing screamed, and her face turned deathly pale, and she almost vomited at the memory. Even though she wasn't aware of her actions, listening to Mei Yun's story kept her thinking about the incident.
Feng Xian'er just shook her head and continued. "Not only Qin Qing, but she also turned me, Mei Yin, and Xiao Yuxi into his soulless dolls. However, she didn't do the same to the three of us, and she only absorbed our energy. But we were lucky that Xia Tian came with us, or else we would have become her soulless dolls until our energy was sucked out by her."
Yu Yunzhi was completely shocked to hear their stories; Estella's ability to turn people into soulless dolls and control them was simply terrifying to her. But she was also relieved that Xia Tian had taken her as his slave, and she was sure that he would not allow her to roam around and mess around in the Seven Star World. "Then what else happened?"
"Many things happened, Yunzhi." The three women immediately told her everything that happened on their expedition, including the people who were involved in it.
After they finished listening to their stories, Yu Yunzhi pondered deeply, and jealousy welled up in his heart, especially since she knew the Yan Sisters so well. 'Doesn't that mean they are also his slaves now? Would he also dual-cultivate with them? Moreover, he also has the extremely strong Nalan Qing beside him.'
Unlike Situ Meiqi and Qin Qing, and judging from Yu Yunzhi's expression, Feng Xian'er could guess her thoughts. 'I didn't expect that Yunzhi would be jealous of them, but I'm sure that Xia Tian would not do anything to the Yan Sisters.'
After some time, Yu Yunzhi sighed softly. "Sigh, I can only hope that those guys don't tell anyone else about the fortress, or there will be a lot of people targeting Xia Tian."
"That's not a problem, right? Moreover, Xia Tian has Nalan Qing and Estella beside him, so those people won't be able to touch him." Situ Meiqi said this in confusion.
The three women turned to Situ Meiqi in amusement, and Feng Xian'er then explained it to her. "Yunzhi didn't worry about Xia Tian, but she was more worried about people who would target him; he even destroyed the Luo and Leng main families, remember?"
"I see." Situ Meiqi nodded in understanding.
After they talked about a few other things, Feng Xian'er, Qin Qing, and Situ Meiqi immediately returned to their respective places.

Twin Star Sword Sect
Mei Yun fell silent after she listened to Mei Yin and Xiao Yuxi's explanation about the incidents in the fortress; she also didn't expect Yang Yao to die at the hands of Qin Qing, but she couldn't blame her because she was under Estella's control. 𝒇𝘳𝐞𝚎𝓌𝑒𝑏𝒏𝑜𝙫ℯl.c𝚘𝒎
Seeing Mei Yun remain silent, Xiao Yuqi then spoke angrily. "Sister Yun, you must demand justice for Yang Yao, we must capture that woman and kill her."
Hearing that, Mei Yun looked at her with raised eyebrows, and she replied calmly but deeply. "Do you think we can do that? If not for Xia Tian's managing to subdue her, you would still be under her control now, yet you still want to demand justice for Yang Yao."
"But-"
Mei Yun shook her head and interrupted her directly. "Yang Yao is a cultivator, and he also knows that the expedition is extremely dangerous. Moreover, you don't know Xia Tian; if he had told you such things, then he would keep his word, so I won't prolong this matter for the safety of many people."
Hearing Mei Yun's answer, Xiao Yuxi gritted her teeth and clenched her fists, and she then left the room without another word.
"Yuxi is very close to Yang Yao, so it's only natural that she can't accept his death, Sis."
"I know." Mei Yun nodded in understanding. "But I hope she doesn't act stupid and accepts Yang Yao's death, if she goes against Xia Tian, it will be too late for her to repent."
Mei Yin only nodded to her twin sister; she wanted to avenge Yang Yao's death against Estela, but she also realized that she couldn't fight against Xia Tian because the people around him were too strong.
Meanwhile, after she left Mei Yun's room and returned to her own, Xiao Yuxi immediately took out her communication jade. She then sent messages to several people, and she told them about Estella and the fortress. "Humph! Even though I can't do it myself, I will make that damn Xia Tian regret threatening me!"

Medical Sect Valley
Dugu Zhong frowned as he listened to his granddaughter's report about the events inside the fortress, and he did not expect that there were two powerful beasts inside, let alone that his two sect elders were killed by them.
Even so, Dugu Yan did not say anything about Estella and the fortress to her grandfather, and she chose to keep things a secret about them, for she felt indebted to Xia Tian and the others who had saved her. 'I'm sorry, Grandpa. I know your character very well; if I tell you about them, I'm sure that you will seek trouble with him, and it will harm our sect.'
Before long, Dugu Zhong looked at his granddaughter and sighed softly. "Their deaths are truly regrettable, but I'm truly grateful that nothing bad happened to you, Yan'er."
Dugu Yan then remembered something. "Grandpa, you have to reward Mengxin well; she was even heavily injured just to protect me, and if it wasn't for her, I would have died when we were attacked by those beasts."
"All right, I'll give her the best reward." Dugu Zhong unhesitatingly agreed to his granddaughter's request.

Hua's main family residence
"Xiuling, I brought you a gift from the ancient ruin." Hua Shitian said this as he handed his granddaughter a black full-body armor.
Hua Xiuling was stunned when she received the armor; even though it was made of metal, it was very light and flexible. She then got up and put it on. "Grandpa, this armor is really good and suits my body."
Hua Shitian nodded smilingly at seeing her like that. "I know; that's why I gave it to you, and that armor is Heaven Grade, so it can protect you well."
"En, thank you." Hua Xiuling then turned to her grandpa. "Anyway, I want to transfer to the Star Moon Sect, Grandpa."
"Huh!?" Hua Shitian was taken aback by her request; he then raised his eyebrows and asked. "Don't tell me that you want to transfer there because of Xia Tian?"
"Yes, I do want to move there because of him." Hua Xiuling responded without hesitation; she wanted to do so not because she fell in love with him, but for other reasons.
After he observed his granddaughter for a while, Hua Shitian couldn't help but sigh. "Fine, you can go to Star Moon Sect."
