Chapter 3132 Discovery
"Where should we lie down?"

"Where to kill them?"

From the perspective of the Xiong Kingdom people, the new emperor felt that there were problems everywhere in this ambush.

Mayi is a typical concave area, with mountains on both sides and the city of Mayi blocking the way in front. It is a perfect place to occupy the mountainous terrain and launch ambush warfare.

Such areas are prone to arousing suspicion.

The real trouble was that the Empress Dowager's military mobilization had taken too long. He was kept in the dark in Chang'an, but it was nothing new to the soldiers at the border. Even the junior officers at the border posts could guess most of it.

This was a hasty ambush, which resulted in a dilemma.

Hundreds of cavalry charged back and forth through the streets and alleys, and the sounds of fighting within the city quickly subsided. The Xiong Kingdom delegation and their Han accomplices emerged from various places and joined up with the Xiong Kingdom people.

Looking at the inside man who had joined up with the Xiong Kingdom's assault team, the new emperor felt a sharp pain in his liver.

He picked up a long spear, swung the shaft at the soldiers in the distance who dared not even fire an arrow, and then began to turn back.

The enormous Nine Dragon Cauldron was bound with straw and stood on a specially made carriage, pulled by four horses.

Zhang Xuezhou and his personal guards, who were assisting him, were cleaning up the horse carcasses on the ground when someone pulled up a demonic horse to pull the cart.

The Han internal agents responsible for transporting the Nine Dragon Cauldrons to lure the enemy also noticed the problem. Some of them stood at a distance and did not come, but instead hid in the nearby customs and trade sheds.

"Transport the cauldron by cart for fifty li, and it will be ours!"

The Great Chanyu calmly and coldly gave his orders.

He was not greedy, nor did he expect to plunder Han men and women after entering Mayi City. He also did not control the neighing and roaring mounts in the distance, and had no interest in the wealth of the nearby trade markets.

The enormous size of the Nine Dragon Cauldron was so striking that he only briefly inspected it before urging everyone to quickly drive away the demon horses pulling the carriage.

"The people of Han are truly good at doing good deeds!"

"It wasn't easy to transport this cauldron out of the palace!"

"Let alone transporting it from the palace, it would be difficult even to cross mountains and rivers along the way. This is the first time I've ever seen such heavy equipment transported on horseback!"

"Can't this be put into a storage bag?"

"Then you, Venerable Weaver, must create a large enough storage bag that can also refine this behemoth!"

"There wasn't much hope when we tried to seize the treasure before. We could only see if the Nine-Headed Lion Saint could use his immense strength to retrieve the imperial palace. If the Nine-Dragon Cauldron could be retrieved from the bag, the Dao Lord would have already taken action!"

"This thing is not only big, it is also incredibly heavy. Daojun said that this cauldron is only inferior to the Nine Cauldrons that Emperor Yu forged by gathering the power of the world!"

……

The demon horse pulled the wheels, and the Nine Dragon Cauldron moved slowly.

After the ropes were tied again and four more demon horses were added to pull the ropes, the transport of the giant cauldron finally resumed normally.

Numerous avatars of Venerables and Dharma Masters appeared on the cauldron, while the Tiger Power Demon King and Sheep Power Demon King of the Evil Luosichuan Holy Land kept examining the cauldron and discussing the matter of refining pills in low voices.

Three-colored light appeared, and Kong Ning also appeared beside the giant cauldron. A white-robed scholar, waving a fan, stepped on the waves and commented on the Nine Dragon Cauldron.

"This cauldron has nine dragons, and its internal circulation design is truly ingenious. It is indeed the most exquisite cauldron cast by the Great Qin Dynasty. If we can decipher its mysteries and find the nine cauldrons, and then use them to suppress my Great Ferocious Kingdom, that would be a wonderful thing!"

"Isn't this just a top-tier alchemy furnace?"

"You don't understand!"

"What do you mean we don't understand? Our boss has been eyeing this kind of cauldron for many years, and he's been thinking of using it to refine an elixir of immortality!"

"This is no ordinary alchemy furnace. Besides, with Yang Li's alchemy skills, it would be a waste for him to use this kind of furnace to refine pills!"

"What do you mean, King of Ten Thousand Foxes? Your words are sarcastic and mocking. My elder brother is the number one alchemist in the Holy Land!"

"What I mean is that this cauldron can be used to search for the Nine Cauldrons of Emperor Yu..."

"What nonsense about the Nine Cauldrons? That's just the Venerable One spouting nonsense..."

"Shut your beak!"

...The Nine Cauldrons were acquired without much risk. Many Venerables and Dharma Masters who had concealed their Yang Soul forms revealed themselves, and cultivators riding demonic birds in the sky would occasionally jump down to watch the excitement, with no shortage of arguments and discussions.

"I think I've seen you before!"

There are demons with big hearts, and there are demons with meticulous hearts.

Kong Ning rarely spoke, and when he looked around, he even checked on many of the generals of the Xiong Kingdom's army.

Her gaze swept over the new emperor, then over Zhang Xuezhou, who was wrapped in a long gray cloth.

As she ran briskly, her gaze swept back and forth between the two men.

"Greetings, Demon King!"

Zhang Xuezhou changed his voice and bowed and scraped to Kong Ning. The new emperor also mechanically imitated a sentence, and only then did Kong Ning put down the suspicion on his face.

"Your aura is somewhat like that of an unpleasant fellow, yet you also exude an air of wealth. I rarely see such a fragrant man among the slaves!"

Kong Ning pointed at Zhang Xuezhou, then at the new emperor, and even leaned close to the new emperor's neck to take a sniff.

This prompted Zhang Xuezhou to quickly glance at Mayi City, a hundred meters behind him.

Kong Ning's burst speed over short distances is very fast; using the Sky Shuttle would almost make him a target.

If his identity is exposed, he will have no choice but to flee into the city with the new emperor and use the city's buildings to buy time.

"You don't look like a slave officer?"

After sniffing the air in one breath, Kong Ning pulled his head back, his eyes filled with vigilance.

"We, the centurions, are Han Chinese who have been subjugated to this wicked country..."

"Are you the Holy Son of Kunlun?"

Just as Zhang Xuezhou began to explain, Kong Ning suddenly turned his head and scanned Zhang Xuezhou again with his gaze.

“I remember that voice so clearly, it was like they were trying to fool us like children. Let me see your face!”

Kong Ning whispered, then reached out and grabbed the headscarf from Zhang Xuezhou's head.

"Your father didn't mention that you only have one place to live. Are you trying to offend and cause trouble for me as well?"

Zhang Xuezhou bit his lip and whispered.

They wouldn't stand out among an army of 100,000, but they would be much more noticeable among a few hundred.

However, Kong Ning's close contact upon landing caused too much trouble.

Perhaps it was the profound impact of Zhang Xuezhou's two beatings of Kong Ning that made Kong Ning's keen senses remain even though Zhang Xuezhou changed his voice when he spoke.

Before the new emperor's involvement could be established, Zhang Xuezhou was also implicated.

He had to issue a warning.

These warnings made Kong Ning's eyes widen instantly, and his right hand, which was reaching out to pull off the sand mask, trembled several times.

"Zhu Jiuyin is old. Once he dies, you will have no protection. Not to mention the Western Sect Leader, even the Buddha's disciple might come to subdue you!"

Zhang Xuezhou whispered a warning to Zhang Xuezhou again.

Kong Ning took a deep breath, trying to calm the lingering shock in his heart.

"What are you doing here?"

Kong Ning thought for a few seconds before putting down her right hand, which had just removed her face mask. As she followed the convoy, she looked at Zhang Xuezhou and the new emperor with a serious expression.

This is not the right force to intervene at this time, and the other party should not be here either.

Where is His Majesty?

Zhang Xuezhou did not reply to Kong Ning's words, but instead directly asked Kong Ning via telepathy.

Instead of guessing, he might as well ask Kong Ning directly to determine the location of the high-ranking cultivators in this ambush.
