Xi Yan

## [source]

The last surviving member of the merfolk in the first town Shen Yanxiao visited. Her father, Merfolk King Bo Er, hid her existence her entire life. Her hiding capabilities can even hide from Satan. Shen Yanxiao saved her and made her the new merfolk leader.

She is also the only multi-colored mermaid in the last 10.000 years. Neptune's wife was the previous multi-colored mermaid, but when Neptune was killed, the secret warlock organization killed his wife and implanted her blood into Shen Yanxiao's body.

## Background

Since Xi Yan was born, she could not see anything. She was ignorant of everything in the world. The only thing she knew was that her birth brought death to her mother. On the day she was born, her mother died in childbirth, and her father mourned for her for a long time.

Xi Yan had lived in a small room behind a portrait of Neptune since she was sensible. Her father did not allow her to leave this room, not even half a step, nor did he allow any other merpeople to contact her. Only the mermaid, whom she called Elder Sister Qing, would bring her food and take care of her every day.

For the world outside this small room, Xi Yan was full of curiosity. Although she could not see, her perception was much more acute than that of other merpeople. She could draw any picture in her mind with the help of this perception.

## Appearance

Her long, light blue hair curled slightly all over her body, and her pair of eyes that were supposed to be glittering and translucent were covered by a grayish blue color, lacking focus and spirit. The fishtail, which was half hidden under her long hair, had the same colorful scales as Shen Yanxiao’s.

## Personality

Xi Yan had finally stopped being so timid under the influence of Shen Yanxiao. Although she was blind, she no longer shrank and hid in the corner like she used to. Since Xi Yan was going to be the new ruler of the merfolk, she must have the momentum of a superior, so as to infect other merpeople.

Shen Yanxiao was very familiar with this point. She grew up from an ordinary girl to a Lord of the Barren Land, and then to the leader of mankind. They were also both women, so it was much easier for Shen Yanxiao and Xi Yan to communicate (Chapter 2417).

Xi Yan, under the guidance of Shen Yanxiao, had gradually relaxed her mood and was no longer as reserved as before. She was moving step by step towards being a qualified merfolk ruler.

## Skills

### **High Perception**

She could clearly describe all the trees and grasses in the merfolk’s hometown, the appearance of the palace, and the subtle places. The details were exactly the same as what Shen Yanxiao saw; it was as though Xi Yan really saw those things with her eyes. This was the first time Shen Yanxiao had seen such a keen perception. Even the elemental spirits with extremely strong senses could not reach such a level of sensitivity.

The only thing that could tell whether Satan were coming or not was Xi Yan’s perception of the sea water, but Xi Yan could only perceive him through the murderous energy that permeated this sea water. If Satan curbed his murderous aura, even Xi Yan would not be able to detect his approach.

### **Hiding the Aura**

She can hide her aura. Xi Yan’s ability was almost the same as that of Shen Yanxiao's moonlight necklace. Although the moonlight necklace could hide one’s aura, it could not hide one’s fluctuations in the sea water. However, Xi Yan’s ability could directly block out the fluctuations of the sea water. This perfect hiding skill was more excellent than that of the moonlight necklace (Chapter 2402)!

Her concealing ability can last the whole time. Her father told her to hide herself all the time. So she always does. Bo Er had always asked Xi Yan to hide herself and block out the fluctuations of the sea so that other merpeople could not feel her. This also trained Xi Yan’s stability in handling this ability.

## Weakness

Xi Yan was the weakest of all the leaders. Not only was she young, but she was also blind.

Xi Yan’s perception would only be effective in the sea. After losing her perception by leaving the seawater, she would completely lose all insight. In addition, she did not have any offense, and would easily become the target of the Devil Race’s attack.

## Neptune’s Trident

### **Overview**

Every divine weapon held by a superior god had the great power of the superior god itself, just like the Asura’s Blade. Divine weapons are created by the Lord God himself. Unless destroyed, it can fully rely on itself to absorb the essence of the sun and moon and gradually restore its strength.

If the ruler of the merfolk wants to summon all the merpeople, they need their power to pass through Neptune’s divine weapon to be able to do so. This is the Sea God’s divine weapon. This protects the safety of the Merfolk Race and symbolizes the person's status as the ruler of the merfolk.

### **Background**

Divine weapons were the most powerful weapons of superior gods. Almost no superior god attached a seal to their divine weapon. But Neptune’s Trident had been sealed by Neptune, the Sea God, himself. According to the Dragon God, Neptune is a passionate one. Although he is a superior god, he has a special fondness for the merpeople in the oceans. He inlaid the scale of the multicolored mermaid on Neptune’s Trident. He meant to show his concern for the right person. Only the blood of the multicolored mermaid can unravel this layer of suppression.

Neptune’s approach was to show his determination to his beloved. Unfortunately, he did not expect that he would die in the battlefield, nor that the multicolored mermaid would die together with him. There were no more multicolored mermaids for nearly 10,000 years, and the merpeople did not have the slightest idea what their Sea God had done to Neptune’s Trident. What the merpeople brought back from the battlefield was a divine weapon, most of which’s power had already been sealed. Ordinary merpeople could not manifest the real strength of Neptune’s trident. What they could feel from it was only the thin power beyond the seal, which was why Shen Yanxiao had the feeling that the power of Neptune’s Trident was almost exhausted (Chapter 2410).

It had to be said that the Sea God’s gesture of showing his love had ruined the merfolk for nearly ten thousand years.

This seal can only be revealed when activated with the divine power of the gods. Besides, looking at the whole divine realm, only Neptune would seal his own divine weapon that can protect his entire race.

### **Unsealing**

Xi Yan’s blood was needed to unseal Neptune’s Trident. Although Shen Yanxiao now was also a multicolored mermaid, she was after all an experimental subject and the blood in her body was not pure.

### **Summoning the Merpeople**

It was not difficult to summon the merpeople with the help of Neptune’s Trident. One just needed a certain summoning array. The six-pointed array; each array point needed one person to stand up and become a branch of the array. Xiu, Shen Yanxiao, Dragon God, Tang Nazhi, Bian and Xi Yan were exactly these six people.

After Xiu placed Neptune’s Trident in the center of the six points, he guided his divine power. It stimulated the operation of the entire array.

A blue halo diffused from Neptune’s Trident and turned into a blue light ray, which was directly drawn to Xi Yan. Then Xi Yan’s voice was transmitted to Neptune’s Trident. The blue light transmitted this tense and sincere passage to the sea. Every drop of seawater and speck of sand would transmit Xi Yan’s voice to the merpeople’s ears scattered over all the oceans. This was a message that only merpeople could hear (Chapter 2416).

## Her Personal Sacred Tools

### **Sacred Tool Number 1**

Young merpeople were not good fighters, nor were they good at protecting themselves. Even though Xi Yan could sense the fluctuations of water in the ocean, she did not know how to manipulate the seawater for attack and defense. Xi Yan’s father, who had kept Xi Yan under house arrest inside the small secret room, did not teach her how to use the ability of the merpeople at all; Xi Yan was so weak that she could not even beat the average merperson.

Xi Yan’s body was not suitable for offense so Shen Yanxiao had to make the strongest defense-type superior sacred tool. Shen Yanxiao wanted to build a more defensive sacred tool based on her own sacred tool. After all, Xi Yan was not skilled enough to control a control-type sacred tool, so Shen Yanxiao must eliminate this part and focus on defensibility. Shen Yanxiao used the most flexible rare metal.

This is her third time making a superior sacred tool. She had yet to try to incorporate the power of elemental spirits into the sacred tool, which would likely produce amazing results. Of the several elemental spirits, the earth elemental spirit had the strongest defensive ability. Integrating its power into Xi Yan’s sacred tool could enhance the defensive ability of the sacred tool. Arguably, the water element should be more compatible with the merfolk. However, the defensive capability of the water elements was uncertain, so Shen Yanxiao could only choose to integrate earth elements instead. For the first time, Shen Yanxiao tried to integrate the power of an element into the sacred tool (Chapter 2424).

Its basic form is a dark golden necklace. For the first time, Shen Yanxiao combined the power of the elements with the sacred tool, which was no ordinary amount of work and psychological pressure. The time taken to build the sacred tool doubled directly, and the consumption of her spiritual force also increased threefold.

The sacred tool integrated with the power of earth elements had indeed been greatly improved in terms of defense. After Xi Yan wore the sacred tool and transformed it into armor, even a strike at seventy percent of the Dragon God’s strength could be blocked. When the Dragon God raised this to eighty percent, it would only bring certain effects to Xi Yan. This also meant that Xi Yan could survive, as long as she was not attacked by the devils of the devil general rank (Chapter 2425).

Shen Yanxiao estimated that if a devil general launched an attack at Xi Yan with all their might, the armor would be completely destroyed by the first attack. But in the case where it could withstand a full attack of a devil general, it could effectively prevent the sneak attack of most devils, which was equivalent to an extra life for Xi Yan. As long as any assailants were exposed, the people at Xi Yan’s side could then protect her.

### **Sacred Tool Number 2**

Shen Yanxiao created a superior sacred tool for her in chapter 2617. Its basic form is a bracelet of blue crystals connected together with a string. The blue crystals were made of water elements condensed by the water elemental spirit. Even without the help of the sea, Xi Yan would still be able to summon huge waves through the collected water elements to protect herself.

## The War Against the Devil Race

Before the war against the Devil Race, Xi Yan abdicated and handed over the throne to the heir she trusted, while she herself got rid of the shackles of the throne, so as to not have to worry about whether her death would bring too great a blow to her own race. So she would fight against the twelve devil generals, just like in Shen Yanxiao’s original plan. Better die than retreat (Chapter 2622)!
