Apart from their respective masters, each of the Nine Cauldrons could bestow its Cauldron Power Blessing on only one additional person.
Thus, if that person also bore a cauldron's power, they could "follow" a master of the Nine Cauldrons, dragged along like a ship's anchor.
This was an unwritten rule among the Nine Nether Aristocratic Clans.
Linghu Jiu Jian nodded without hesitation. This time, he owed the Li Household an enormous favor.
The same went for Tuoba Ye. Though their Tuoba Household had had little connection with the Li Household before, they did now. This time, he had to thank Li Hanyi.
A Righteous Gentleman truly was different.
Qing Sanxiao sat in the distance, taking it all in.
He understood now. Li Hanyi intended to take Linghu Jiu Jian and Tuoba Ye away using the power of the Li Household's Ancient Cauldron, together with the Cauldron Power Blessings bestowed on them by the Linghu Household and Tuoba Household respectively.
But what about him, Qing Sanxiao?
The Qing Household also had a cauldron, but that blue-gray Ancient Cauldron was in Qing Yuanjia's hands. Apart from the household head himself, its Cauldron Power Blessing could be bestowed on only one person, and that person was the Second Elder. Though Qing Sanxiao was the Third Elder, he did not receive such treatment.
In other words, he could not leave.
He would be trapped inside this Rebirth Furnace on the verge of complete collapse, trapped in this damned place whose height and depth were unknown, trapped among these powerful figures watching like hungry tigers.
What could he say? Without his own household's Cauldron Power Blessing, begging Li Hanyi would be useless.
Could he blame Qing Yuanjia? Blame the household head for not bestowing the Cauldron Power Blessing on him? Yet he knew perfectly well
