Cultivator With Modern AI - Chapter 593: Meng Family Decision
Meng Family Residence
Everyone in the Meng family residence’s main hall looked gloomy, mainly because they lost many important elders yesterday. They all died simply because of Meng Hao’s stupidity and arrogance.
Even so, they couldn’t decide their future right away, and they had to wait for the decision of their patriarch, who had just returned from a faraway place.
After patriarch Meng got information from the few remaining elders, he rushed back to his clan. He gathered the rest of his clansmen, and he did not forget to ask Meng Yao about the actual incident.
Meng Yao explained everything to them in as much detail as possible, and she also told them about Xia Tian’s slave mark in her soul, causing Patriarch Meng and the others to be completely shocked by it.
Patriarch Meng’s face darkened after hearing everything. He turned to a middle-aged man and a middle-aged woman sitting side by side with looks full of sorrow and anger; they were Meng Hao and Meng Weiran’s parents. “Have the two of you realized your mistake by now? I’ve repeatedly advised you not to always coddle Hao’er, but you never listen to me. In the end, he grew up to be an arrogant person, and he caused our family to fall apart now.”
“Father! If Xia Tian hadn’t done anything bad to Weiran, then Hao’er wouldn’t have done something like that either.” Meng Wu retorted his father’s words.
Since her father-in-law blamed them, Qing Lin, Meng Wu’s wife, also spoke up. “That’s right, Father! You know that Hao’er loves Weiran very much, and Xia Tian’s actions towards her made him dare to do such a thing.”
“You guys still dare to contradict my words?” Patriarch Meng said with sharp eyes as he released his aura to suppress Meng Wu and Qing Lin, causing them to break out in cold sweats. “Meng Yao had warned Hao’er many times not to seek trouble with Xia Tian, but he still arrogantly challenged her. He didn’t even want to admit defeat in the competition in a manly manner, and he summoned Meng Ran and the others to gang up on him instead; if he hadn’t done that, then none of this would have happened.”
Meng Yao and the remaining elders could only shake their heads. They knew both of them loved Meng Hao and Meng Weiran very much, but they spoiled their children too much.
Even Meng Weiran had also grown up to be a haughty and arrogant woman, and she was always hostile towards other women, especially those who were much better than her.
Meng Wu and Qing Lin did not speak further, but it was apparent that they could not accept Patriarch Meng’s words and talked to each other through sound transmission.
Patriarch Meng then turned to the remaining elders and asked them. “What do you think?”
“Patriarch! I think it would be best if we left the southern continent and moved to another continent.” A female elder gave her opinion.
“I agree with her, Patriarch.” A male elder also conveyed his thoughts. “Even though we have to start over on another continent, we can live more peacefully there. Moreover, we don’t know whether Xia Tian will still do anything to us or not, and I’m afraid he will bring those two women to attack us in the future. If they do attack us, then our family will be perish like the Luo and Leng families.”
Hearing the two, Meng Yao sighed softly and spoke. “Patriarch, if you decide to move to another continent, then I suggest not moving our family to the western continent because Bai Yinyue is one of Xia Tian’s wives, or he will find us later.”
After thinking things over for quite a while, Patriarch Meng sighed heavily and made up his mind. “Tell the others, we’ll start packing right now, and we’ll be moving to the eastern continent soon. I have some good friends there, and I’m sure they’ll be willing to help us later.”
“Yes, Patriarch.” The remaining elders immediately left the main hall to carry out his orders.
Meng Wu and Qing Lin also left the main hall, but they didn’t go pack their things. Instead, they left the clan for another place.
The Meng patriarch then asked Meng Yao. “What are your plans now? Are you coming with us to the eastern continent?”
“No.” Meng Yao shook her head at him. “As I said before, Xia Tian imprinted his slave mark into my soul, so I can’t leave this continent. If I move there with you guys, he’ll find our family easily.”
Patriarch Meng nodded in understanding. “All right, but I hope you’re careful here.”
“Yes.” Meng Yao then left the main hall, and her disciple was waiting for her outside.
Lan Yin then asked her. “Are you sure you won’t move with them, Master?”
Meng Yao sighed softly and shook her head. “I have lived on this continent for a long time, Yin’er. Even if Xia Tian had not instilled his slave mark on me, I would never have left my homeland, and I will still live here until the end of my life.”
“I see.”
After that, Meng Yao and Lan Yin left the Meng family residence and returned to the Vermilion Capital Sect.

Without them noticing, two women were standing in the air not far from the Meng family’s residence, and they had been listening to their previous conversation.
“Apparently, Tian has changed quite a bit, Yuhe. He didn’t destroy the Meng Clan outright like the Luo and Leng families.”
Zhu Yuhe nodded in agreement. “Sister Xuan, you are indeed right; Tian changed a bit after learning about the Eternal Night Race. Although he didn’t say anything to us, the reappearance of that race greatly disturbed his mind, and he became impatient to bring us to a higher realm as soon as possible; only then can we all become stronger faster.”
“I don’t know what awaits us in the higher realms later.” Zhao Xuan then turned her head toward the Xia Residence location before continuing. “Tian himself already said that he has a hard time facing that clan at his peak state, then what can we do to help him in the future.”
Zhu Yuhe sighed at that. “We don’t need to think about that matter for now because it’s still beyond our reach right now, and the most important thing we can do now is to cultivate harder, or else we will become a burden to Tian in the higher realms later.”
“I agree with you.” Zhou Xuan then asked. “So, who will you appoint as your replacement later?”
“I think Shui Lihao is most suitable to be the next emperor of the southern continent.” Zhu Yuhe herself had thought about it ever since Xia Tian told them that he would bring them all to the Holy Central Continent. However, she still had to discuss the matter with him.
“Shui Lihao, huh?” Zhou Xuan muttered to herself and nodded in agreement. “Indeed, he is the most suitable candidate for the next emperor. Moreover, his popularity in this continent is not inferior to yours, so I believe the people of this continent will not reject him.”
“En.” Zhu Yuhe nodded to her, and she turned to leave. “Let’s meet Shui Lihao now; I must discuss this matter with him and his wives.”
After that, Zhu Yuhe and Zhou Xuan flew away from that place, and their destination was the Shui Kingdom.

Star Moon Sect
“What happened to you, Weiran?” Yang Wudi asked after he saw Meng Weiran’s expression turn gloomy.
Duan Yun also asked her. “Tell us what happened; maybe we can help you solve your problem.”
Meng Weiran sat limply in her chair, and her expression was extremely ugly after listening to her parents’ transmission. “You guys can’t help me to solve my problem.”
“Why is that?” The two men asked at the same time.”
“Xia Tian… He has killed my big brother and several important family elders.” The two men were shocked by Meng Weiran’s answer, and she then continued. “My grandfather has already decided to move our family to another continent, so I will immediately leave this sect and join them.”
Yang Wudi and Duan Yun exchanged glances after they heard that, but they could not say anything to comfort Meng Weiran.
Suddenly, two people landed in front of Meng Weiran’s room and rushed inside, startling the three of them. “Weiran, do you know where Xia Tian is?”
“What do you want to do, Father?” Meng Weiran asked with a frown, but she had already guessed the purpose of her parents looking for Xia Tian. “I’ve already lost my big brother, and I don’t want to lose both of you, so please stop your plans.”
“No!” Meng Wu shook his head at his daughter. “Tell us where he is now.”
However, a woman suddenly spoke to them from outside the room. “Meng Wu! Qing Lin! I advise you guys to leave this sect quickly, or you two will regret it later.”
