Chapter 950
Ashton knew that he couldn’t act without restraint once his actions were being monitored. He decided to dedicate the entire month to his cultivation instead.
He departed from Javonbury under the radar, making his way to Linton Island while no one was watching.
“I wonder how Mom is doing…” Ashton sighed. He had married Roxy and retired from the martial arts world specifically to give Irene some peace of mind, but unfortunately, things hadn’t turned out the way he hoped.
“Celia…” Ashton couldn’t help but think of his daughter, a sharp glint appearing in his gaze. He hadn’t expected Roxy to take Celia with her and disappear to Trinity Celestial Abbey.
He shook his head, clearing his mind of distractions. He couldn’t afford to let his feelings get in the way of his cultivation at that moment.
“I need to become stronger…” Ashton had only that single objective in mind.
“You have another option. You can abandon your true self and form a soul contract with me. I would then reign over the nine heavens and carry out all the slaughter in your stead, Ashton!” Lord Ashdrake declared hoarsely, his crimson draconic eyes gleaming menacingly in his Sea of Consciousness.

Ashton arrived at Linton Island the following day, continuing his cultivation along the journey. Linton Island was where Irene’s family resided and where Irene herself grew up. Ashton also had memories of living there during his youth. Linton Island was a place of perpetual springtime, filled with many beauties.
Ashton hurried toward the modest courtyard, where Irene resided, an old house in the heart of the city, the place she had chosen to spend her later years.
“Mom!” Ashton called out warmly.
He wiped the grim look from his face and replaced it with a gentle smile. He had no intention of letting Irene see him in such a gloomy state.
