Chapter 1317

Everything remained mere speculation, with no concrete evidence to support it.

Thinking of this, Su Yang suddenly remembered the mermaid race.

Instantly traveling from the southern coast, nearly crossing all of Huaxia back to Bingcheng, Su Yang found Sovereign Jiazi.

Perhaps the mermaid race knows some information.

Even if ordinary mermaids don't know, don't forget that the Emperor-Rank Jin Lin mermaid arrived on Water Blue Planet long ago.

Su Yang asked Sovereign Jiazi to summon Xiao Yu, but Xiao Yu also said she didn't know.

Xiao Yu replied: "Every time the Sea Beast Tide occurs, that woman orders our mermaid race not to leave the sea."

"Oh!"

"Our clan has speculated that there might be some threat in the ocean, driving the sea beasts to want to escape," Xiao Yu added, "but that threat probably doesn't affect that woman as much…"

"Some threat?"

Su Yang pondered Xiao Yu's words, his mind racing.

Liu Mengyun said: "Could it be some terrifying ferocious beast?"

Sovereign Jiazi: "Something that forces sea beasts to risk everything to escape must be at least an Emperor-Rank ferocious beast."

"Mm!"

Su Yang agreed with the two women's speculation.

Perhaps there truly is something terrifying lurking in the ocean.

"Actually, I can still ask my sister!" Xiao Yu suddenly said. "Even if she doesn't know, she can definitely help us gather information—have her ask that woman!"

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!"

It was nighttime now, and the mermaid race's gathering place should be active during the day.

Su Yang opened the Chuansongzhi Sect gate and stepped straight through.

Sovereign Jiazi, Liu Mengyun, and Xiao Yu followed closely behind.

As soon as they entered the gate, they appeared deep in the ocean.

"Who is it!"

"Seeing Xiao Shan, we're back!"

The mermaid Seeing Xiao Shan saw Su Yang and Xiao Yu, and relaxed slightly.

Her gaze swept over Sovereign Jiazi and Liu Mengyun, then settled on the Chuansongzhi Sect gate.

"Such a powerful space-type pet!" Seeing Xiao Shan couldn't help exclaiming, "I've heard that any space-type pet capable of opening a Chuansongzhi Sect gate is among the elite of space-type pets."

Su Yang nodded seriously: "The Void Wanderer is indeed powerful!"

Inside him, the Void Wanderer felt delighted at Su Yang's praise.

Seeing Xiao Shan looked at Su Yang and her sister, puzzled: "It's only been a short while… you both seem stronger again!"

"Sister, I've reached Emperor-Rank Mid-Grade now!"

Xiao Yu stepped forward, grinning proudly.

These two sisters had competed for over a hundred years, with Seeing Xiao Shan always holding the upper hand—but now, with Su Yang, Xiao Yu had undergone a complete transformation and completely overshadowed her sister!

How could Xiao Yu not be proud?

Seeing Xiao Shan looked at Su Yang with a complex expression, her golden tail flicking at an unnatural rhythm.

"Sister, you didn't come just to show off, did you?"

Xiao Yu: "Of course not, I'm not that boring!"

Liu Mengyun and Sovereign Jiazi couldn't help smiling at Xiao Yu's words.

Xiao Yu's tone was clearly meant to show off!

"Seeing Xiao Shan, I'll ask you: do you know why a large-scale sea beast land invasion happens every few decades?"

Seeing Xiao Shan nodded: "I know a little."

"Tell us then!"

Seeing Xiao Shan tilted her beautiful head toward Su Yang and the others: "You came here just to ask about this?"

Xiao Yu nodded: "Yes!"

But Seeing Xiao Shan sneered: "Why should I tell you?"

Clearly, Seeing Xiao Shan was in a bad mood today.

Xiao Yu froze for a moment, then looked at Su Yang.

Su Yang and Liu Mengyun remained calm.

"Seeing Xiao Shan, can't you at least give us a favor?"

"Why should I give you any favor?" Seeing Xiao Shan shot back.

"Name any condition—as long as it's not unreasonable, you can ask!"

After all, she was Xiao Yu's sister; Su Yang didn't want to act violently.

He could tell Seeing Xiao Shan had been provoked by her sister.

Last time, she had been quite reasonable.

If the information was valuable enough, he could offer fair exchange.

"Really, I can ask anything?"

"As long as it's not unreasonable and I can do it."

"Then help me strengthen my power!" Seeing Xiao Shan suddenly said. "You look really powerful."

"That… might not be possible."

"Why not?"

"I can only help my bonded beast raise its strength, but you…" Su Yang spread his hands helplessly. "You're not my bonded beast, there's nothing I can do!"

"A beast-tamer's special talent?"

"You could say that."

Seeing Xiao Shan fell silent.

Clearly, it had no intention of becoming Su Yang's bonded beast.

After all, every beast has its own aspirations!

"How about this!" Su Yang said. "If your information is valuable, I'll owe you a favor. If you run into trouble in the future, I can step in and help you once."

"You?"

Seeing Xiao Shan scoffed.

"Yes, you!"

Su Yang said with an open, easy smile.

"If I really ran into trouble, why wouldn't I just ask my mother for help?"

"And what if that trouble is something even your mother can't handle?"

"You don't actually think you're stronger than my mother, do you?"

Seeing Xiao Shan looked at Su Yang with the eyes of someone regarding an idiot.

But Su Yang didn't mind at all and said, "Right now, I may not be stronger than your mother, but there's no telling about the future. You probably don't know what my current rank is."

Seeing Xiao Shan: "Emperor-Rank Mid-Grade?"

"No, Emperor-Rank Top-Grade!"

Seeing Xiao Shan looked toward her older sister. Little Yu nodded smugly: "General Su is indeed already an Emperor-Rank Top-Grade beast-tamer. In a little while, even that woman won't be a match for General Su… General Su is nineteen this year, much younger than you. So tell me, are you afraid or not!"

Seeing Xiao Shan drew in a deep breath.

A nineteen-year-old Emperor-Rank Top-Grade beast-tamer—even in the great world of fierce beasts, there probably wasn't one!

It couldn't figure out how this world, which its mother regarded as somewhat barren, could possibly have given birth to such a monstrous genius.

"Since General Su wants to ask, I'll tell you!"

Seeing Xiao Shan finally relented.

Any sane person would never think to offend a monstrous genius like this.

Especially when the two sides' relationship was already not bad to begin with.

Su Yang said gratefully, "Then thank you!"

Su Yang's attitude made Seeing Xiao Shan feel even more comfortable.

Su Yang's strength was far higher than its own.

"Three days ago, my mother already gave the order, telling the Merfolk Clan to prepare and come ashore in half a month!"
