Chapter 97: The Legend of the Secret Cauldron

of the ranks and shouted in a loud voice, "Listen up everyone, we are departing!"This two thousand troops were given by He Houde. However, the one leading these troops wasn't someone from He Houde's..."Sister, your fish soup tastes so good."

By the little river, a woman in red held a bowl of fish soup. The delicious aroma made her so comfortable that she even dozed off.

"This wasn't cooked by me." Mu Yinghua covered her mouth and smiled, then pointed to Zhang Liyang beside her, "This is his handiwork."

Unexpectedly, she glanced at Li Yang. The woman in red slightly curled her lips, "You're good at killing, I didn't expect you to be so good at cooking fish soup either."

What's your sister's name

"Sister, my younger sister's name is XiaoXiao, what about yours"

"You can call me Mujie."

"How could Xiaojie be chased by someone"

"Sister Mu, you wouldn't know," seemed to hit Xiao Xiao's sore spot. Her face, which was originally pale with a rosy tinge, flushed red instantly with anger. "I was having a good meal at the inn when suddenly this disgusting man came up and harassed me!"

"Well, if he wants to flirt, let him flirt. I was bored anyway. But he's so ugly and his breath stinks! My sister couldn't stand it so she slapped him."

"Just one slap, and he actually wanted to use force against me!"

A feeling of grievance arose, Xiao Xiao looked at Mu Yinghua with a wronged face, "Sister really had no choice but to kick him in the balls to stop him."

"But he didn't appreciate it, he even drew his sword and tried to kill me!"

Then you killed him

"Of course, he wants to kill me. I can't just let him do it, can I"

Xiao Xiao's words sounded reasonable at first, but upon closer listening, you couldn't quite put into words the feeling of utter disbelief that crept up on you.

What does it mean to be bored, just tease then

What does it mean to kick his balls to make him stop

Can an ordinary person say this out loud

Looking at Xiao Xiao drinking fish soup in big gulps because she was angry, Zhang Liyang muttered in his heart, "She's definitely a demon woman!"

But what worried Zhang Liyang more was that Mu Yinghua actually expressed approval of Xiao Xiao's actions. This made Zhang Liyang mutter again, "Will this person not become a tyrant in the future"

The two continued chatting, while Mu Yinghua also took out the fruit wine that Zhang Liyang had prepared and shared it with them. This piqued Xiao Xiao's interest as she tasted this flavor for the first time.

Only when Xiao Xiao heard Mu Yinghua say that this fruit wine was also made by Zhang Liyang did she glance at Zhang Liyang again, but this time her look was more serious. She then nodded and said, “He's really handsome!”

"...

" Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!

“...”

Zhang Liyang and Mu Yinghua were both speechless. This girl's focus seemed to be rather different from everyone else.

"How did your sister get to the border alone Aren't her family worried"

"It was my family who made me come out," Xiao Xiao said with a pout. "They're all a bunch of old farts, awful people."

As for why I came to the border, sister, don't you know

What do you know

"My goodness! Someone discovered that the Sacred Tripod was being chased and they fled here."

“Secret Tripod What is a Secret Tripod”

Mu Yinghua had never paid attention to the Jianghu, and although Zhang Liyang had interacted with him before, they weren't close. So when they heard this news, both of them were dumbfounded.

Seeing the reactions of the two, Xiao Xiao also widened her eyes, "You don't know about the Secret Cauldron"

"Why don't you tell sister"

“Alright, but my fish soup is finished.”

"Sister, here you go."

"No." Dodging Mu Yinghua's outstretched hand, Xiao Xiao gave Zhang Liyang a mischievous grin and said, "I want him to pour it."

"Don't go too far!"

"Mu JieJie, he bullied me!"

Mu Yinghua's mouth twitched, then she looked at Zhang Liyang with a hint of helplessness. "Zhang Liyang..."

Without a word, when Mu Yinghua looked over, Zhang Liyang directly took Xiao Xiao's bowl and ladled her another bowl of fish soup.

It was only when Xiao Xiao received the fish soup that her fingers, intentionally or unintentionally, brushed directly across Zhang Li Yang's palm.

Feeling that electric touch, Zhang Liyang hastily retracted his hand like a startled rabbit, causing Xiao Xiao to laugh nonstop like a little hen.

"Laugh again, try it!!"

Zhang Liyang's eyes twitched, veins bulging at the corners. If not for Mu Yinghua's face, Zhang Liyang would have punched Xiao Xiao right in the face.

Seeing Zhang Liyang truly angry, Xiao Xiao immediately stopped laughing, but she kept muttering in her mouth, "Even being angry is so handsome!"

Seeing Zhang Liyang on the verge of bursting, Mu Yinghua smiled and said, "Xiao sister, why don't you tell us about the secret cauldron"

The legend of the Secret Cauldron, well, that's a long story.

As Xiao Xiao described, Zhang Liyang and Mu Yinghua also gradually learned about some legends of the secret cauldron.

The legendary "Secret Cauldron" has been circulating in the martial world since time immemorial.

But this legend is not a lie, but a real existence.

The origin of the mystical cauldrons remains a mystery, but it is known that each one holds a spark of fate. The frustrating part is, the size of this fate depends entirely on luck.

By chance, some people obtained a secret cauldron and had an extraordinary opportunity, ultimately reaching the pinnacle of the martial world, commanding wind and rain. Others fought tooth and nail, but in the end, they only received a blood pill!

The disparity is so vast that it could cause some with weak hearts to die of shock!

What's even more frustrating is that after each secret cauldron has been used to gain its opportunity, the time it takes to obtain another one stretches as long as three hundred years!

Three hundred years is enough time for the world to change drastically. Everything and everyone is different now.

But just like that, whenever a secret cauldron appears, it will always stir up blood and carnage in the martial world.

This time, someone obtained a secret cauldron through some means and was chased all the way to the border of Great Gan by people from the martial arts world.

After hearing Xiao Xiao's account, Zhang Liyang voiced the question in his heart: "Are there many Secret Cauldrons"

There are many, but no one knows exactly how many.

Xiao Xiao shook her head and then continued, "Currently, there are only three forces in the Jianghu that are known to possess the secret cauldron."

Which three

"Shangqing Palace, Leiyin Temple, Yunxian Palace!"

Three forces, Zhang Liyang had only heard of Shang Qing Dian, but judging from Shang Qing Dian's battle records, the remaining two families must also be behemoths, behemoths that no one in the world would dare to provoke!

Another question I have is, can the opportunity of the Secret Tripod not be obtained directly

"You're very clever," Zhang Liyang was praised by Qu Xiao Xiao nodded, "That's right, the opportunity of the secret cauldron is indeed within the secret cauldron, but when and if anyone can get it, no one has a precise number."

Maybe you just encountered a mystic cauldron, and you could take the chance within it, or maybe you hold the mystic cauldron your whole life, but never able to take the chance inside!

Hearing Xiao Xiao's explanation, Zhang Liyang nodded in understanding and also developed a bit of curiosity about this legendary secret cauldron.

"Beep, system mission announcement: Capture the secret cauldron!" knelt on the ground. The fire within him, which had once resisted all attacks, was now utterly powerless against this force. It transformed into a raging inferno, consuming everything inside Tamuk an...
