Ji Qingyun frowned. "Are they going to war?"
Zheng Pingzhang lowered his voice. "Would the Divine Venerable really dare wage war against the Undying Divine Venerable? ...He can't beat him, can he?"
Ji Qingyun focused his power and stared into the distance. "Even if he can't, he still has to fight."
"He could just withdraw directly." Zheng Pingzhang was puzzled. "There's no need to fight to the death, right? ...The Heartless Sect isn't worth this."
"The Heartless Sect is our stumbling block!" Ji Qingyun snorted.
Zheng Pingzhang said, "Does it matter? Especially to the Divine Venerable, if the Heartless Sect won't do, he can just choose another sect. He's establishing his authority either way."
Ji Qingyun turned his head, withdrawing his blazing gaze from afar and settling it on him.

Ji Qingyun snorted. "Don't impose our thoughts on the Divine Venerable. The Divine Venerable isn't like us."
"Right, right. The Divine Venerable is indeed more formidable." Zheng Pingzhang agreed.
Ji Qingyun said, "Life and death in this world are merely a dream to the Divine Venerable. How would you act in a dream?"
"...I wake up from nightmares every day, only to find the Evil Extermination Department hunting me down."
"Pathetic!" Ji Qingyun snorted.
"Then what does Sect Master dream about?"
"I don't dream," Ji Qingyun said.
"Heh, who doesn't dream?" Zheng Pingzhang shook his head dismissively.
Ji Qingyun said, "With a treasure protecting the body, naturally there are no dreams."
"What treasure is that? ...Forget it, don't tell
