Cultivator With Modern AI

Chapter 581 Enter Seclusion

Sapphira and Sheng Jiang, who were flying toward another village, suddenly came to a halt when a strong aura restricted them.

'What happened? Where is this powerful aura coming from?' Sheng Jiang muttered in his heart.

Sapphira was as shocked as he was, especially since they used artifacts to hide their auras. 'How can the possessor of this aura sense our aura? Moreover, I can't sense the presence of the owner of this aaura.'

However, they were further shocked when a silver-haired woman appeared before them without their noticing. The woman was none other than Ran Qing, and her eyes narrowed as she observed the two people. "Hmm? 1st and 4th Stage Venerable Origin Realm, so you two are people from the holy central continent, huh?"

Sapphira's body trembled as Rang Qing's  gaze penetrated her soul. 'Fuck! I hope she doesn't find out my true identity.'

'Hmm? This woman is so terrible! So she is one of the protectors of this continent? It's no surprise that the one-horned demon is afraid to act alone.' Unlike Sapphira, although Ran Qing also looked into his soul directly, Sheng Jiang still managed to remain calm because the demon seed was in his heart, not in his soul. "You are right; we came from the Holy Central Continent, and we happened to pass through this continent."

"I see." Ran Qing nodded to him, but her gaze never left Sapphira. "What are you doing in this world? If I remember correctly from your aura, you should be a member of the Shadow Race, and you came from the Desolate Realm."

'Shadow Race? Desolate Realm?' As a native of the Seven Star World, Sheng Jiang naturally had never heard them, but he had read about the existence of other realms. 'So these two women came from another realm, huh? No wonder they are so strong.'

Sapphira's body stiffened once Ran Qing found out her identity, but her expression also turned sad after hearing her realm, and she immediately answered her question. "The blood race no longer exists, and the desolate realm has long been destroyed."

"Hmm?" Ran Qing was completely shocked to hear that. "How did it happen?"

"Sorry, I can't answer your question." It wasn't that Sapphira didn't want to answer him, but she couldn't.

Ran Qing frowned at that; she then moved towards Sapphira and touched her forehead, but she was hindered by something as she tried to read her memories. "I see! No wonder you can't tell me; it turns out that someone placed a confinement formation in your memories, and if I forcefully read them, then you will die."

"Yes." Sapphira nodded at her.

Ran Qing asked again. "What's your name? How long have you been in this world? And how did you get injured so badly?"

Sapphira was silent for a moment before she answered. "My name is Sapphira. Two hundred years ago, I arrived in this world heavily injured, and the people from this world also attacked me. Even though I managed to kill a few of them, their attacks made my injuries even worse, and my injuries haven't recovered until now."

'What the hell? She's already very strong, even though she's heavily injured; then how strong was she at her peak state.' Sheng Jiang exclaimed in shock after hearing their conversation.

"You two can go now." Ran Qing said as she retracted her aura and released them from her retraining, but she shot something into Sapphira's body without her noticing.

"Yes! We're leaving now." Sapphira and Sheng Jiang nodded to her before they flew away, leaving her alone.

Ran Qing continued to stare at them as she muttered in her heart. 'I'm sure her existence in this world isn't that simple; I should tell my brother-in-law as soon as possible.'

.

Sometime later, Ran Qing had arrived at the Xia Residence, and she told Xia Tian about Sapphira.

"Sapphira of the Shadow Race?" Xia Tian muttered to himself as he tried to remember the name, but he couldn't find it in his memory. "Aren't you trying to break through that confinement formation on her memories?"

"I can't do it, brother-in-law." Ran Qing replied with a shake of her head. "The person who set up that formation in her memories was extremely powerful, and I believe the culprit was one of those immortals."

"No." Xia Tian replied as he shook his head. "In this entire universe, I only know one person who is so skilled with formations, but he isn't from among the immortals."

"Who is that person?"

"His name is Jiang Chen, and he has spent his entire life studying formations." Xia Tian thought for a while before speaking again. "Sigh, I left the cultivation world for 600 years, so there are a lot of things I don't understand. But I think the destruction of the blood race and desolate realm has something to do with the Eternal Night Race, and that Jiang Chen may also have joined them."

"You mean?"

"Yes." Xia Tian nodded to her. "I think those people used Sapphira to do something in this Seven Star World, and she also has something to do with those demons, including Xie Yuwen."

Ran Qing's face darkened upon hearing that; she thought that she should have captured Sapphira earlier. "Do you want me to capture that woman, brother-in-law? I've implanted my tracker in her, so I can track her down easily."

"You don't need to capture her, and you just need to keep an eye on her for now." Xia Tian then got up from his seat and stood at the door of his room, and he looked up at the sky before speaking again. "The current me is still very weak, and we don't have reinforcements, so we can't act rashly. If we capture Sapphira now, and if she does indeed have some connections with those people, then I'm afraid they will come to this world, and we won't be able to face them."

"I understand." Even though Ran Qing was powerful compared to the cultivators in the Seven Star World, there were still many cultivators much stronger than her out there, and she couldn't possibly protect them alone with her daughter. "In that case, I will keep a close eye on that Sapphira, and I will immediately inform you if she does anything dangerous."

"Okay! Anyway, I'll be going into seclusion for a few days, and I'll only come out when the sect competition starts." After saying that, Xia Tian immediately informed his women of his decision, and he immediately returned to the Star Moon Sect.

After he arrived at his room in Star Moon Sect, Xia Tian immediately summoned Su Fei, Mo Xiaoqi, and Bing Huang to meet him.

Xia Tian also summoned Mu Ruxue and Yue out of his Ancient Sacred Realm, and he explained everything to them about his decision.

The women were really surprised after listening to his explanation, especially about Sapphira, whom he suspected was the leader of the demons.

After that, Xia Tian brought them into his dual cultivation space, and they would be kept in seclusion for the next four days.

The next four days were the day when the inter-sect competition would begin, and he would be joining the competition to obtain a fire crimson soul for his mother.

.

.

"Hey, Sapphira! What are we going to do now?" Sheng Jiang asked.

Sapphira did not answer his question directly, and she thought for a long time before answering. "The presence of that woman makes me uneasy, and I feel that she already suspects me. So for the time being, we will postpone our plans on this continent, and we will go to the holy central continent first, because the energy of the people there is stronger than another continent."

Sheng Jiang frowned, he didn't expect that she would go to his continent, and he then asked. "Aren't you going to tell that hunchbacked old man that we are leaving this continent?"

"No need." Sapphira shook her head at him. "He's just a useless chess piece, and if he dies at their hands, then so be it."

Sheng Jiang smiled bitterly at that, even though he was a cruel person himself, he felt that Sapphira was far more cruel than him.

After that, they flew away swiftly towards the holy central continent.

.

.

Elsewhere, the hunchbacked old man was hiding in a hut in the middle of the forest, and he kept covering his body with his artifacts.

"Damn it! My people are no longer left, and it's the two people's fault; they deliberately didn't tell us that there were strong people on this continent." The hunchbacked old man muttered angrily, looking at the many shattered jades in front of him. "Sigh! I'd better act carefully, and I should also gather more ghosts for now. If I manage to finish off Zhu Yuhe and his people, then I'll avenge my people against these two."
