The Netherworld Venerable's proposal naturally caught the attention of Kunlun's four Supremes, led by Zhulong, and set all four of their hearts racing.
At present, the Netherworld Venerable was not the only one lacking confidence and feeling uneasy. Kunlun's unease far exceeded his.
Ultimately, the Netherworld Venerable was unwilling to act because his less-than-pleasant past experiences had made him wary of Immortal Artifacts, while the four-to-two disparity in numbers also left this fellow, who had always advocated "playing it safe," somewhat disinclined.
