Su Yao's expression grew gravely serious.
It took only two breaths.
The terrifying presence had already arrived.
In an instant, the surrounding seawater began to boil violently.
Then, a middle-aged man in a gray robe suddenly appeared.
The man was tall, with a vicious look in his eyes.
Su Yao’s pupils shrank instantly.
What she feared had come to pass!
Indeed, standing before her was none other than Yang Xiao, father of the nine-headed serpent Yang Qi!
A mighty Ascension Realm dragon.
How could this be?
Why was he here decades ahead of time in this reality?
In truth, it was pure coincidence.
Yang Xiao had recently reached the peak of the early Ascension Realm and was nearing the threshold of the mid-stage Ascension Realm. His intention was to find a secluded place to enter closed cultivation.
In the dream, it was only after his seclusion that he learned of his son Yang Qi's death and sought out the merfolk to reclaim the Ocean Commanding Trident.
But in reality, he had happened to pass by and sensed the trident's aura.
Out of curiosity, he came to investigate.
What he hadn't expected to find was that the trident was in the hands of a merfolk and that his son Yang Qi's body lay nearby.
Excellent! This day was indeed one to remember! freewebnøvel.coɱ
Yang Xiao laughed angrily.
"Little merfolk, you killed my son and stole my treasure. You are courting death!"
Seeing that Yang Xiao intended to make a move, Su Yao gripped the Ocean Commanding Trident tightly and shouted, "Stop! Or I’ll destroy it right here and now!"
At these words, Yang Xiao’s spiritual energy froze for a moment.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, remaining silent.
Su Yao held the trident horizontally before her and spoke again in a deep voice, "Don't play dumb! What you truly care about isn’t your son Yang Qi but this very Ocean Commanding Trident. It’s the key to unlocking the Eastern Sea’s treasure!"
Yang Xiao's voice turned cold. "How did you come to know that?"
A faint smile appeared on Su Yao’s face.
So, it was true!
In the dream, Yang Xiao’s conversation with Ye Yu during their battle had already aroused her suspicions.
By conventional wisdom, the Ocean Commanding Trident was merely a lower-tier spiritual weapon. Though a rare treasure in most eyes, it shouldn’t hold great value to an Ascension Realm cultivator.
Yet every time Ye Yu had threatened to destroy it, Yang Xiao had shown considerable agitation.
Puzzled, Su Yao had begun to investigate the trident’s secrets.
What she had uncovered was unexpected.
The Ocean Commanding Trident was actually in a sealed state.
Once the Eastern Sea Pearl was embedded back into it, the trident would undergo a transformation, becoming a quasi-immortal artifact.
And most importantly, only the one who possessed the trident could unlock the Eastern Sea’s treasure, where the Eastern Sea Pearl lay hidden!
This was the reason for Yang Xiao’s deep attachment to the trident.
Having confirmed the truth, Su Yao spoke in a calm voice, "Now, either you watch me destroy this Ocean Commanding Trident and then kill me, or you leave!"
From the depths of her heart, Su Yao held no goodwill toward any dragons—especially the nine-headed serpent, Yang Xiao!
In the dream, Yang Xiao and Ye Yu’s mutual destruction had ignited a fierce hatred within Su Yao, driving her to begin slaughtering dragons as a path to enlightenment.
Even now, in reality, her hatred hadn’t lessened in the slightest.
Had her strength been sufficient, she would have certainly stripped and skinned Yang Xiao alive!
