"Zhu Chen, you shouldn't have been so reckless."

After a moment, Ye Qingxian finally came to her senses from the shock.

She looked at Zhu Chen, who was still standing there despite his weak aura, her brows furrowed, her expression extremely complicated: "Do you know what you just did? A supreme being, even if he committed heinous crimes, even if he truly deserved to die, at this critical juncture, his death is an irreparable loss to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!"

"The flames of war at the Imperial Pass could be ignited at any moment. We need to gather all the forces we can, even if they are a group of sinners, a group of bastards who deserve to be torn to pieces. In the face of the foreign lands, at least they are still on our side. Their lineage, their disciples, their foundation can all become a flesh and blood Great Wall to resist the foreign lands in the great calamity to come!"

“Every cult leader you kill here today could become a general in command in the future.”

As Ye Qingxian spoke, she teleported in front of Zhu Chen and asked, "You understand these principles, so why do you still insist on going your own way?"

Zhu Chen listened quietly to Ye Qingxian's words.

He didn't immediately refute, but first raised his hand to wipe the blood from his lips before slowly speaking:
"If you are facing the enemy head-on, no matter how strong the enemy is, it is not scary. What is scary is that when you are fighting a bloody battle and entrusting all the defenses to the people behind you, someone will stab you in the back."

"In the late Immortal Era, foreign lands invaded, and bloody battles raged on the borderlands. How many ancestors died on the battlefield, their bodies wrapped in horsehide? But what were those so-called great sects and aristocratic families doing, hiding in the rear?"

"They covet the magical skills of those heroes, fight over the artifacts left behind on the battlefield, and raise their knives against their comrades for their own selfish interests!"

"As Senior Kunpeng was, so too is God Liu."

"If we cannot eliminate these hidden cancers within, today they are besieging Kunpeng and Liu Shen, but tomorrow they may betray the defenses to foreign lands on the walls of the Imperial Pass in order to save their own lives!"

"I came to destroy the Netherworld lineage not out of momentary anger, but to sever the blade that might one day pierce the back of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and to eliminate internal threats!"

Zhu Chen said a lot in one go this time.

He hoped Ye Qingxian would understand.

Not everyone can become each other's comrades.

Some people are better suited to be enemies.

The best option is to kill such a person as soon as possible.

Ye Qingxian fell silent after hearing Zhu Chen's words.

She opened her mouth, wanting to retort, but found her voice stuck in her throat, unable to utter a single word.

Because he suddenly realized that what Zhu Chen said made a lot of sense.

In the face of true life and death, a 'ally' with ulterior motives is far more terrifying than ten enemies facing off head-on.

She knew this better than anyone else.

"Ok?"

Just then.

Zhu Chen seemed to sense something and suddenly turned his head to look in a certain direction at the edge of the Burial Abyss.

Although he was weak at this moment, his spiritual perception was not as good as before.

But they still managed to detect a deathly aura rapidly approaching!

The newcomer was a middle-aged man dressed in the robes of a Netherworld official, whose aura was at the peak of the Divine Fire Realm.

He must have been an intelligence agent from the Underworld Sect, returning from a mission only to find a ruin razed to the ground.

"This...this..."

The underworld official's pupils constricted, his mind went blank, and he even forgot to run away.

Zhu Chen gave him no chance to react.

He raised his hand and suddenly grabbed.

A transparent hand formed from divine power instantly traversed several miles, grabbing the Underworld Deacon from a distance as easily as squeezing a chick, and dragging him in front of him!
"Spare me...spare me, senior, spare me!"

The steward finally came to his senses and, trembling, begged Zhu Chen for mercy. Zhu Chen didn't waste any words with him, but directly reached out and placed his five fingers on the man's head.

Soul-Searching Secret Technique!

"—Ughhhhh!"

The underworld deacon let out a shrill scream, his eyes quickly glazed over, and his body stiffened like a puppet.

Not long after.

Zhu Chen then used the Soul Searching Technique to obtain a lot of information from that Netherworld cultivator.

One of the pieces of information was about the Celestial City!
Someone actually took advantage of his trip to the lower realm and led a group to the Celestial City, intending to threaten him with the lives of Yun Xi and the others.

The two forces that took advantage of the chaos were none other than Heaven and the Demon Sunflower Garden!

These two immortal lineages, along with the Underworld, are known as the "Three Great Assassin Organizations" and are currently joining forces to besiege the Celestial City!

Zhu Chen saw Yun Xi in the picture!
The opponent was standing on the city wall with his sword in hand, his sword aura soaring into the sky, fighting a bloody battle with the cultivators of the Heavenly Kingdom!

Her face showed both determination and exhaustion.

The Celestial City cultivators beside him were falling one after another.

And she... was already at her last gasp!
"Heaven...Demon Sunflower Garden..."

"You're all courting death..."

Zhu Chen released the lifeless corpse of the Underworld Deacon, his eyes erupting with murderous intent. His voice was almost squeezed out from between his teeth, carrying a chilling edge.

Ye Qingxian sensed Zhu Chen's sudden violent aura and her heart skipped a beat. She quickly asked, "What did you see?"

Zhu Chen did not answer Ye Qingxian's question immediately. Instead, he turned his head and looked through the gray mist of the Burial Abyss towards the location of the Celestial City.

After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "The assassins of Heaven... the demonic cultivators of the Demon Sunflower Garden... they are currently besieging Heavenly City."

"what?"

Ye Qingxian's expression changed drastically.

Heavenly Kingdom and Demon Sunflower Garden are actually joining forces to besiege Heavenly City.

At this critical juncture?
You should know that Tianren City is now one of Zhu Chen's bases.

Moreover, Zhu Chen's Daoist partner, Yun Xi, had just given birth to a daughter for him not long ago.

The other party should be recuperating in Tianren City right now.

The purpose of Heavenly Kingdom and Demon Sunflower Garden besieging Heavenly City at this moment is obvious!
Those guys must have wanted to go to Tianren City to capture him after they learned that Zhu Chen was not in Tianren City.

Then, using this as leverage, they forced Zhu Chen to hand over the Ten Fierce Treasure Techniques!

Ye Qingxian took a deep breath and looked at Zhu Chen with a serious expression.

She knew that nothing she said at that moment would make a difference.

Neither grand principles about preventing internal strife nor the pros and cons of the manpower shortage at the border seem as weak and powerless in the face of this news.

Zhu Chen had already turned around at this moment.

He was still very weak, his breathing was fluctuating, but the killing intent and determination that emanated from his very bones made the temperature in this ruin that had just experienced a great battle plummet to freezing point.

"Heaven, the Garden of Sunflowers..."

He read the two names again, his voice eerily calm: "Very well, after the Underworld, the next ones will be you."
