While Xia Tian was having fun with Estella, four won sat together in a room, and one of the won spoke first. "Now no one can eavesdrop on us, so the three of you can tell 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 iqi spoke first because she was the one who had listened to Xia Tian's conversation with the others before. "Her na 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 forr sect master, but they didn't encounter any significant obstacles at that ti, 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 won nodded to her, and Situ iqi 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 iqi 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, rembering the incident in the fortress, Qin Qing also spoke to her in a gloomy tone. "Trust , 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 scread, and her face turned deathly pale, and she almost vomited at the mory. Even though she wasn't aware of her actions, listening to i 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 , i Yin, and Xiao Yuxi into his soulless dolls. However, she didn't do the sa to the three of us, and she only absorbed our energy. But we were lucky that Xia Tian ca with us, or else we would have beco 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 ss around in the Seven Star World. "Then what else happened?"
"Many things happened, Yunzhi." The three won imdiately 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 an they are also his slaves now? Would he also dual-cultivate with them? Moreover, he also has the extrely strong Nalan Qing beside him.'
Unlike Situ iqi 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 so ti, 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 iqi said this in confusion.
The three won turned to Situ iqi in amusent, 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, rember?"
"I see." Situ iqi nodded in understanding.
After they talked about a few other things, Feng Xian'er, Qin Qing, and Situ iqi imdiately returned to their respective places.

Twin Star Sword Sect
i Yun fell silent after she listened to i 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 bla her because she was under Estella's control.
Seeing i 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, i 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-"
i Yun shook her head and interrupted her directly. "Yang Yao is a cultivator, and he also knows that the expedition is extrely 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 i 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." i 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."
i 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.
anwhile, after she left i Yun's room and returned to her own, Xiao Yuxi imdiately took out her communication jade. She then sent ssages 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 !"

dical 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 rembered sothing. "Grandpa, you have to reward ngxin well; she was even heavily injured just to protect , 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 tal, 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 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."
