Above the skies of the Scarlet Peony sect,

"This should about confirm it. The ocean turtle cauldron did belong to the Duan family at some point. The spiritual markings of their founder and the subsequent three clan leaders are still present in the cauldron. 

They hid their markings well, almost as if they knew the cauldron would be lost one day. Mmh but I wonder where they managed to find the cauldron.

It looks like it has been around since antiquity and despite almost 70% damage, it's still releasing energy undulations that closely resemble that of a low-tier monarch-grade artifact. Too bad its spirit seemed to have been destroyed ruining any chances of restoring it to its former glory, but even then, I can see why the two of them would rather go to war than let it go.
