The Nine Cauldrons

Chapter 52 A Game of Guessing Pebbles?

On the Great Yan Mountain, the torches burned, making “Chi Chi” sound. Millions of soldiers stared at the young man who was only seventeen years old.

“From now on, I, Teng Qingshan, betrayed Gui Yuan Sect and will no longer be part of it!”

It might seemed heinous, but the innate experts here all knew clearly of what decision Teng Qingshan made! If Teng Qingshan wanted to protect himself, the three thousand Black Armored Army would be able to tie down many innate experts, and Zhuge Yuanhong could feasibly take Teng Qingshan away from this place.

However, if that happened, it would cause the Gui Yuan Sect to fall into a precarious state

And now………the words “betrayed Gui Yuan Sect and will no longer be part of it” and the words “is not related to the Gui Yuan Sect” caused the others to have no more excuse to go against Gui Yuan Sect. Yet, Teng Qingshan himself would now be in an extreme crisis. He is now facing a large group of innate experts by himself like a sheep in a pack of wolves.

“Qingshan…..Teacher is sorry.” Zhuge Yuanhong said in his heart. He closed his eyes painfully and kept quiet.

“Really brave.” Ying Haojian, the one leading the Ying Family, praised.

“He’s a man! Even if he were to die, we must let him die a quick death. We can’t let the men of Qing Hu Island torture him.” The gruff, masculine voice came from the midst of the experts of Shooting Sun God Mountain.

Teng Qingshan’s eyes swept past the large group of innate experts and the corner of his mouth curved into a weird smile.

“You men of Qing Hu Island desired to kill me.” Teng Qingshan pointed at the five men of Qing Hu Island as he said. Gu Yong and his men all wore a gloomy expression. If it wasn’t because there were too many innate experts here, they would have made their move already. Teng Qingshan continued saying, “Gu Yong, don’t show a sour expression. Only eight Law Enforcing Elders died. I think more of your elders will die soon enough.”

Gu Yong’s facial expression turned cold as he responded, “Hmph, Still acting arrogant at the end of your life.”

Teng Qingshan shook his head and smiled.

“The men of Mani Temple want the two cauldrons too, right?” Teng Qingshan walked before the group of Arhats of Mani Temple. Those people all stood calmly and responded in silence. “Not speaking. Looks like they all admitted. Desiring the two cauldrons of the Elixir of the North Sea isn’t something shameful,” said Teng Qingshan.

“The Ying Family, Shooting Sun God Mountain, Snow Hawk Hall, and Hong Tian City.”

Teng Qingshan stepped forward and walked to the expert of Hong Tian City who was at the side.

“You all wanted the two cauldrons of the Elixir of the North Sea, Tell me..Who should I give them to? This gives me a headache.” Teng Qingshan looked at the surrounding crowds. At this moment, none of the people around him spoke, which was rather weird. It was very quiet. Everyone of them stared at Teng Qingshan and occasionally looked towards another group of innate experts.

“How about you guys guess pebbles.” Teng Qingshan squatted down and picked up three pebbles from the ground.

The innate experts froze for a second.

Guess pebbles?

“I have a total of three pebbles in my hand. Each sect has a chance to guess how many pebbles are in my left hand and how many are in my right hand. The one that guesses it right can get the two cauldrons.” A jesting smile appeared on the corner of Teng Qingshan’s mouth, but this smile made the people feel cold from the bottom of their heart.

“Ridiculous.” Elder Wan of the Snow Hawk Hall frowned.

“Teng Qingshan, stop playing,” the long-browed old monk said indifferently. The fight for the two cauldrons couldn’t be decided by a game of guessing pebbles. Mani Temple was the most powerful sect, thus, how would it be willing to rely on luckily guessing pebbles to obtain the cauldrons?

“So boring. No one wants to guess.” Teng Qingshan stood up and said, “Let me announce the answer…….”

Teng Qingshan grinned, and his left and right hands waved out instantly almost at the same time.

Three streaks of phantom-like figures pierced through the air!

Xiu! Xiu! Xiu!

The three pebbles brought along an ear-piercing whistling sound and visible ripples in the air, leaving three blurry phantom-like afterimages. The three pebbles instantly slashed a distance of thirty Zhang and flew towards the unprepared Gu Shiyou, who was in shock.

Gu Yong’s facial expression changed drastically.
