The gaunt old man slowly scanned the crowd, his gaze falling on Zhou Tianji.
Zhou Tianji's body involuntarily tensed.
Though both were Venerable Ninth Transitions, the differences between them remained vast.
The gaunt old man spoke in a deep voice, "Tianji, you have always been wise and meticulous. What do you think?"
"Second Elder, I respectfully follow the orders of the Sect Hierarch and the Elders."
"At this point, don't hide your talents. You've come this far; you understand him better and far exceed us. Share your thoughts!"
"Yes, Your Highness... I really want to kill this Zhu Lingyun, but I also have concerns."
"Concerns about the Divine Venerable?"
"Oh, Tianji, yes the Divine Venerable is strong, but we're not weak either—you needn't worry too much."
The burly old man waved his hand dismissively.
"Yes, Third Elder." Zhou Tianji cupped his fists slightly.
The gaunt old man frowned. "Junior Brother, don't interrupt!"
He spoke gently, "Tianji, continue."
