Zhu Lingyun frowned. "Every disciple in the sect will activate this treasure?"
"This treasure's power is astonishing. One person alone, or even a few, cannot control it. The more people, the better." Zheng Pingzhang said excitedly. "The more people there are, the greater its power."
"Then include these people as well?" Zhu Lingyun pointed toward the valley.
Zheng Pingzhang said helplessly, "They cultivate different mental arts, so they cannot help yet."
"Then have them switch to our mental art first. Once they can be of use, activate that treasure," Zhu Lingyun said. "Strive to bring out its full power and kill him with a single blow."
"Divine Venerable, this..." Zheng Pingzhang hesitated. "Wouldn't that be too slow?"
"A good meal is never ruined by being late." Zhu Lingyun said. "Chu Zhiyuan is so difficult to kill. It is best to leave nothing to chance."
"This..." Zheng Pingzhang gave a bitter smile.
Ji Qingyun said solemnly, "Since the Divine Venerable has given the order, we shall do as instructed!"
Zheng Pingzhang said helplessly, "...Yes. Then we shall postpone it for a few days and first have these fellows change their mental arts."
Ji Qingyun nodded.
Zhu Lingyun said slowly, "Before I depart, let me offer you a word of advice."
Ji Qingyun hurriedly asked, "Divine Venerable, are you leaving now?"
"The time has come. Even if I wished to remain, I could not."
"Is there no other way?" Ji Qingyun asked.
Zhu Lingyun shook his head. "I can only blame myself for being too careless, and my luck for not being good enough. It is too late to say anything now."
"It is all my fault!" Ji Qingyun looked deeply ashamed.
Zhu Lingyun waved a hand and said indifferently, "A word of advice: do not rush to deal with Chu Zhiyuan."
