Great Dao Venerable tilted his head slightly and glanced at the Nine Extremes Heavenly King. "Are you speaking up for him?"
"Ha ha!"
The Nine Extremes Heavenly King laughed, then replied, "Among your nine personal disciples, Zhen Yuanzi is indeed strong, but his ambition is far too great.
Luo Qinghan is strong enough, but she walks the Transcendence Path. Her road has already reached its end; her future is plain to see.
As for the rest, you know better than I do exactly what they are capable of.

In short, do not employ those you suspect; do not suspect those you employ."

Hearing this, the Nine Extremes Heavenly King did not respond.
He knew that Great Dao Venerable would never lie.
After all, everything was for His own
