Wedding Night: I Am Forced To Marry A Dragon Girl

Chapter 768: Chapter 668: Perhaps This is the Solution
 

Firstly, if the merfolk tribe and that Sword Cultivator had a covenant.

The old man would surely know about it.

After all, if he could even predict that Jiang Xiaobai would possess merit, how could he be ignorant of this?

Knowing everything, he allowed a terrifying Sword Cultivator to stand guard within.

That’s against all reason.

Unless the old man wanted to trap and kill the merfolk tribe.

Although it’s not impossible for him to hold a grudge against them and intentionally trap them to their deaths.

But overall, it poses some issues!

It’s so abrupt, an old man, holding a grudge against the merfolk tribe, resorting to these methods to trap them to death?

He might as well have called upon a celestial being to annihilate them.

Secondly, there is actually nothing special about the Dragon Tongue Grass.

Jiang Xiaobai’s alchemy skills are incredibly strong. Even though he had never seen Dragon Tongue Grass before, he could still perceive its energy after a minimal analysis.

It’s a distinctive type of divine soul power.

Presumably, it was left behind for his own use by the terrifying Sword Cultivator, but to suppress so-called power with it, it doesn’t add up.

Unless that kind of power urgently needs the divine soul power from the Dragon Tongue Grass for suppression.

Otherwise, any strong individual could achieve better results.

“Something is fishy!”

Jiang Xiaobai narrowed his eyes, continuously observing Queen Baijie before him.

He believed, the Sword Saint of Frenzied Wind who had signed the Heavenly Dao Covenant, must not lie.

So, either the merfolk tribe was concealing something, or they were lying!@@novelbin@@

“Ahem, the thing is, Your Majesty, I am the disciple of the disciple of the Sword Cultivator from the Suffering Forest. Essentially, I am of the grand-disciple generation!”

“I have known since the beginning that Patriarch hasn’t died and he is slowly reviving.”

“So, my sect sent me here to help, but I have no idea what to do for the time being, so I came looking for you, Your Majesty, to clarify the situation.”

Jiang Xiaobai was incredibly comfortable lying on the spot.

Without the slightest blush of embarrassment.

Baijie also felt that this seemed quite reasonable!

“I see, but all that was tens of thousands of years ago. I don’t know much about it, but there is an ancient record. Come with me, I’ll take you to see it.”

Baijie spoke and actually brought Jiang Xiaobai into the Scripture Depository.

Jiang Xiaobai was even more puzzled.

If the merfolk tribe was hiding something, would they be this generous?

Afterward, he began to read the ancient book, which recorded a lot of friendship between the merfolk tribe and the Sword Cultivator.

The Sword Cultivator was also extremely kind-hearted, often aiding the merfolk tribe in solving their problems.

It also said that the Sword Cultivator was named Duan Tian.

After reading all the information about Duan Tian in the ancient book, Jiang Xiaobai shook his head slightly.

He couldn’t find anything unusual.

Especially since it did indeed record the event of Duan Tian making a covenant with the merfolk tribe.

If they broke the covenant, it would lead to the destruction of the merfolk tribe!

Such a lousy condition, the merfolk tribe really dared to agree?

Have they gone insane?

“Perhaps, the only contradictory point lies in the staff.”

Jiang Xiaobai speculated in his mind, and then looked at Baijie: “Can I take a look at the staff?”

“No problem, you helped us, the merfolk tribe, by bringing the Dragon Tongue Grass, saving us. This kind of request isn’t excessive.”

Baijie smiled kindly.

Jiang Xiaobai didn’t show any reaction to her words.

But he was already starting to feel suspicious.

What exactly is the merfolk tribe hiding?

And their behavior is truly baffling.

“Perhaps, they think I might not be able to discern anything from it!”

Jiang Xiaobai chuckled to himself.

While others may not see through it, he possibly could.

The terror of the Purple Sky Primordial Spirit isn’t something others can comprehend.

Insight into all things in the world, meticulously seeking the truth within!

Soon, Baijie fetched an sealed box over.

“This object was given to our merfolk tribe by the Sword Cultivator predecessor.”

“Entrusted to the successive generations of merfolk tribe queens for management.”

“Every hundred years, we need to use Dragon Tongue Grass to suppress the aura of destruction within this staff.”

As Baijie spoke, a look of sorrow appeared on her face.

“Humans think this is a supremely precious treasure, possessing terrifying power.”

“In reality, it indeed possesses formidable power but no one can control it.”

After saying this, Baijie opened the sealed box.

Revealing a peculiar staff within.

The material of the staff seemed to be a precious type of wood, but the odd thing was that there were no traces of refinement on this wood!

The staff appeared to have been made by a person who casually picked up a wooden stick from the ground.

On top of the staff, there was a piece of blue crystal.

A terrifying aura of destruction was emanating from the crystal.

The aura’s power was beyond anything Jiang Xiaobai had ever seen!

Even Ningluo and Zhangqianxue, the two immortals who had rushed from the top three thousand, couldn’t compare to even one ten-thousandth of the aura’s terror with their combined might!

Jiang Xiaobai felt extremely anxious just by taking a single glance at it.

“The object is here now, you can examine it at will, young master, but remember, do not probe your divine sense into the blue crystal, there will be fatal risks.”

Baijie warned.

Jiang Xiaobai nodded and started to carefully inspect the staff he held.

For some reason, he suddenly had a feeling.

He has seen this force, this aura before!

It felt familiar!

However, he couldn’t recall where he had seen it before.

Looking at the blue crystal, Jiang Xiaobai had a premonition.

It was a message from his Purple Sky Primordial Spirit.

Do not enter it!

He would die.

He would surely die!

But if that were the case, how should he examine the staff?

As the deadline for the trial mission was fast approaching, he did not know what kind of punishment the system would give if he couldn’t come up with a solution.

“By the way, did the Sword Cultivator predecessor say anything when he left this object with you, the merfolk tribe?”

Upon hearing this, Baijie’s brow furrowed.

Then she shook her head cluelessly.

“No, according to the previous queens, the Sword Cultivator predecessor did not leave any messages. He only asked us to keep it safe and use the Dragon Tongue Grass to suppress the aura within.”

Jiang Xiaobai narrowed his eyes and began to think carefully.

Now, whether the merfolk tribe was hiding something or not was not important.

The crux was how to complete the trial mission!

At present, Jiang Xiaobai seemed to have collected all the information.

Yet none of this information seemed to connect.

“Wait… connect?”

Jiang Xiaobai jolted abruptly.

If there must be a connection, it would relate to the Dragon Tongue Grass.

Every hundred years, the merfolk tribe needs to use Dragon Tongue Grass to suppress the aura in the staff.

And the Dragon Tongue Grass is the key to the revival of the predecessor.

Could these two aspects be related?

Jiang Xiaobai recalled that the Dragon Tongue Grass was a countermeasure left by the Sword Cultivator predecessor.

But, why does it take Dragon Tongue Grass to suppress the terrifying aura within the staff?

“The problem might be with the staff!”

Jiang Xiaobai raised an eyebrow, making a bold assumption!

This staff must also be a countermeasure left by the Sword Cultivator predecessor!

“Your Majesty Queen Baijie, could you bring the staff with you and accompany me into the Suffering Forest?”
