Ultimate Series, Past Lives Revealed

77: Discussing solutions to the Black DragonThe broadcast of the heavenly screen finally came to a temporary halt. After resting her chin in her hand and thinking for a moment, Hao Jiaqi had a bold idea: Could they lure Black Dragon out and settle all the trouble once and for all?

When she shared this thought with everyone, the scene immediately erupted. The most excited among them was Wang Dadong, who was seen rubbing his hands together, eager to try. He shouted through gritted teeth, ”I must give that despicable Black Dragon a severe beating! He actually dared to turn Rex into something neither human nor ghost; it’s simply too much!”

However, before Arthur Wang could voice his opinion, Cai Wuxiong, who was on the side, couldn’t wait to interject, ”I want to participate in this operation too!”

Hearing her sister’s impulsive words, Cai Yunhan quickly spoke up to stop her, ”Sis, this isn’t a game. Absolutely not!”

But at this moment, how could Cai Wuxiong listen to her sister’s advice? She stubbornly pouted and replied, ”Hmph, why not? Can’t I help?”

Seeing this, Arthur Wang also hurried to persuade her, ”Five Bears, don’t join in the commotion. With your current meager strength, going against Black Dragon is just looking for trouble. I’m afraid you wouldn’t even be enough to fill the gaps between his teeth!”

Facing Arthur Wang’s slightly contemptuous words, Cai Yunhan couldn’t help but frown, her face showing displeasure as she glared at him and retorted, ”What do you mean by that? If my sister hadn’t been staying by your side lately, using her bear pearl to help you suppress the demonic nature in your body, you probably would have been controlled by it and lost your sanity long ago!”

Hearing this, Arthur Wang knew he was in the wrong and hurriedly explained, ”Oh, I certainly know that Five Bears’ bear pearl has the magical effect of restraining all evil forces, but I’m saying this out of consideration for her safety. After all, we’re facing the incredibly powerful Black Dragon this time...”

At this point, Ding Xiaoyu, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up, ”Actually, it would be best if we could take this Opportunity to find a way to solve the problem with the sword in the stone in Arthur’s hand.” Upon hearing this, everyone fell into deep thought.

Just then, Hao Jiaqi seemed to think of something, a light flashing in her eyes, and she proposed with confidence, ”I have an idea. I don’t know if it’s reliable, but how about everyone listens to it first?”

Seeing everyone’s gaze focused on her, Wang Dadong urged even more anxiously, ”Tell us, tell us quickly, what is this good idea!”

Hao Jiaqi gave him a sidelong glance and explained calmly, ”Black Dragon has always coveted the Sword Demon within the sword in the stone in Arthur’s hand. If we let him go ahead and annex it, it might not be a bad thing. Once Black Dragon successfully swallows the Sword Demon, the sword in the stone will indeed lose much of its power, but at the same time, Arthur will become relatively safe. Moreover, who can say for sure that these two swords in the stone won’t merge into one because of this Opportunity?”

Wang Dadong frowned after hearing this and shouted dissatisfiedly, ”If that happens, wouldn’t it mean that Big Black Bug gets exactly what he wants!”

Arthur Wang nodded with a serious expression, agreeing with Wang Dadong’s view, and then said to Hao Jiaqi, ”Jiaqi, continue.”

Hao Jiaqi took a deep breath and continued her analysis, ”However, Black Dragon’s ambition goes far beyond that. He not only wants the power of the Sword Demon but even attempts to devour both your energy and the Sword Demon’s energy together. This means you might need to fall into the demonic path. However, Black Dragon is so greedy that he might not be able to withstand such a massive amount of energy; perhaps he’ll end up exploding from being overfilled.”

Ding Xiaoyu interjected, ”The problem is, Arthur is now one with the sword in the stone. Since Black Dragon is intent on seizing the Sword Demon within it, if Arthur falls into the demonic path as well, how could he withstand Black Dragon’s absorption? He might end up being sucked dry.”

The more Wang Dadong heard, the more restless he became. He slammed the table and roared, ”Does the Narcissist really have to become a demon just to satisfy that hateful Big Black Bug!”

At this moment, Cai Wuxiong, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up, ”I have a way to help you. My bear pearl should be useful.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Cai Yunhan’s expression changed drastically, and she shouted sternly to stop her, ”Absolutely not! Five Bears, if you lose the bear pearl, the consequences will be unimaginable. You’ll lose your life!”

Arthur Wang was shocked to hear this and hurriedly shook his head in refusal, ”Five Bears, thank you for your kindness, but I can never let you fall into danger because of me. I don’t need your help.”

A flash of inspiration hit Ding Xiaoyu. ”Dadong, ask Xiu if he can help. The Iron Time Dimension might have a way.”

Hao Jiaqi said, ”Use the chat screen to arrange a meeting with Xiu at Arthur’s house.”

Wang Dadong nodded and immediately contacted Xiu. [Wang Dadong of the Gold Time Dimension: Xiu, I have something major to discuss. Let’s meet in the Gold Time Dimension.]

[Huyan Jue Luo Xiu of the Iron Time Dimension: I’ll ask the Alliance Master for instructions.]

[Jiu Wu of the Iron Time Dimension: I’ve approved it!]

[Silver Time-Space Zhang Fei: Is it that easy? Can I join too?]

[Jiu Wu of the Iron Time Dimension: No!]

Wang Dadong stood before the Interdimensional Portal, pacing back and forth anxiously, looking up at the tightly closed door from time to time, silently praying in his heart that Xiu would appear quickly.

Finally, before long, one of the doors slowly opened, and Xiu’s figure appeared at the entrance.

Wang Dadong’s eyes lit up, and he lunged forward, grabbing Xiu’s arm and dragging him aside without a word, muttering incessantly, ”Xiu, this is really a big deal! Let’s hurry to the Narcissist’s house first and then talk in detail.”

Xiu was a bit bewildered by this sudden action. While trying to break free from Wang Dadong’s hand, he complained, ”Hey, hey, hey, don’t pull me so hard! Since you’re in such a hurry, why don’t you use teleportation? Wouldn’t that be faster!”

Wang Dadong was stunned for a moment, then showed an embarrassed smile, scratched his head, and said, ”Oh, look at my brain, I actually forgot about that. Fine, let’s teleport then!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he grabbed Xiu again and instantly disappeared from the spot.

In the blink of an eye, the two had already arrived at Arthur Wang’s home.

At this time, everyone had already gathered in the room, waiting expectantly for Wang Dadong’s arrival.

Seeing them suddenly flash into existence, everyone couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief and greeted them one after another.

Xiu looked around at the familiar faces and asked, ”What on earth happened? Why such a big fuss?”

Before anyone else could answer, Wang Dadong impatiently cut in and said, ”It’s like this, Xiu, ’Compressed Sound Transmission’...”

However, before Wang Dadong could finish, Xiu frowned and interrupted him, ”Wait, don’t be in such a hurry to say that. Given the current situation, how much of a chance do you actually have of handling this? Also, I’m sorry, I cannot directly help you. You must find a way to solve everything yourselves.”

Hearing Xiu’s words, everyone’s expressions became somber.

At this point, Hao Jiaqi, who had been silent, stepped forward and said to Xiu, ”Xiu, actually, we came to you to ask if there’s anything that can restrain demonic creatures. We previously thought Cai Wuxiong’s bear pearl might be useful, but the problem is that removing it from her body would cause her irreparable harm. So, we wanted to ask if you know of any other items that could replace it.”

Xiu pondered for a moment before slowly speaking, ”As far as I know, the most powerful Demonized Family in the Iron Time Dimension is the Yehenara Family, and they possess the famous three ballads of demon suppression. Those are extremely powerful Magic Treasures!”

Ding Xiaoyu, who was nearby, immediately followed up, ”Xiu, didn’t you get some music-related scores before? Is there no piece among them that can eliminate evil spirits?”

Hearing this, Xiu couldn’t help but look embarrassed. He scratched his head and explained, ”Uh... regarding those scores, I actually haven’t successfully mastered them yet. The main problem is the lack of reference material; I only have a few preliminary ideas.”

Just then, Arthur Wang, who had been silent, suddenly interjected, ”Yehenara? I remember Xia Tian and Xia Yu’s father seemed to come from the Yehenara Family?”

These words were like a bolt of lightning flashing through Xiu’s mind, instantly waking him up.

Xiu slapped his thigh and said with sudden realization, ”How could I have forgotten this son-in-law of the Xia Lan Xing De Family! Perhaps we can get important clues about the three ballads of demon suppression from him. Wait for my news.”

Before his voice had even faded, Xiu disappeared instantly like a gust of wind.

Only Wang Dadong was left staring in the direction he had gone, shouting helplessly, ”Hey, why is this guy in such a hurry!”

Standing nearby, Hao Jiaqi saw this and smiled at everyone, ”In that case, Xia Yu and I will also head out first. I’m sure once Xiu has new information, he’ll definitely rush back to tell everyone as soon as possible.”
