Chapter 512 Zhu Chen: My friends are far more than these!

When Ye Qingxian saw that Zhu Chen wanted to return to the Upper Realm to settle scores with those major sects, she immediately stepped forward and blocked his way.

"You want to go to the upper realm now and settle accounts with them?"

"Otherwise what?"

Zhu Chen looked calmly at Ye Qingxian: "You just saw it too. They mobilized a large force, descended to the mortal realm in their true forms to surround and kill me, and even threatened me with the lives of billions of people in the Fire Kingdom. If I didn't have some ability, I would probably be dead by now, and the Fire Kingdom would be reduced to ashes. Shouldn't I avenge this hatred?"

"Revenge must be avenged, and hatred must be quelled, but the timing and the method must be carefully considered."

Ye Qingxian met Zhu Chen's gaze without flinching and said directly, "Zhu Chen, do you know what the greatest threat to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths is right now?"

Zhu Chen opened his mouth, about to answer.

But Ye Qingxian continued speaking on her own: "It's the alien realm. Darkness surges beyond the Imperial Pass. The iron cavalry of the alien realm has never ceased its covetousness of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. The Immortal King's gaze has always been fixed on this side. The flames of war at the border imperial pass could be ignited at any moment!"

"Though there are countless flaws within the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, when facing the common enemy of the foreign realm, at least they are on the same side. Their strength will also be a force to resist foreign aggression in the future catastrophe that may sweep across the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!"

"I know those people have even committed unforgivable crimes, but if you were to launch a full-scale attack on the Upper Realm now, unleashing a bloodbath and starting a full-scale war with all the religions, it would be a serious internal drain!"

"And this is exactly the result that the alien realm wants to see. When the clam and the crane fight, the fisherman benefits. Zhu Chen, do you want to become the 'crane and clam' that consumes the power of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths because of a moment of anger, so that the alien realm, the 'fisherman,' can easily benefit and use this opportunity to raze our homeland?"

Ye Qingxian spoke a lot in one breath.

She wanted to tell Zhu Chen how serious the matter was.

I hope Zhu Chen won't do anything foolish.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan, Lin Dong, and the others also fell into deep thought.

Although they come from different worlds, they all understand the principle that "when faced with external enemies, internal strife is a major taboo."

If the situation in this perfect world is truly as Ye Qingxian described, then Zhu Chen really shouldn't be causing trouble for those major sects right now.

Huo Ling'er held Zhu Chen's hand tightly.

She could understand Zhu Chen's anger, but she also understood the emphasis and urgency in Ye Qingxian's words.

However, she will not interfere with Zhu Chen's choice.

No matter what choice Zhu Chen ultimately makes, he will support him unconditionally.

"Sigh~"

Zhu Chen sighed heavily.

He is not an unreasonable person.

He naturally understood the principles Ye Qingxian was talking about.

He understood the threat from the alien realm better than anyone else present; it was a formidable enemy that even the future Desolate Emperor would have to fight for countless ages against.

If his eagerness for revenge led to a severe internal conflict within the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, giving the alien realm an opportunity to exploit the situation, then he would indeed be to blame.

"Miss Ye, I understand your reasoning. The foreign lands are a great threat. The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths need to unite all forces that can be united, even those parasites that I cannot stand."

"but……"

Zhu Chen abruptly changed the subject, his tone suddenly becoming resolute: "Understanding the principles doesn't mean I should swallow my anger and let others bully me. This time, it was the Underworld that spearheaded the effort, gathering more than a dozen sect leaders in their true forms to descend to the mortal realm, intending to kill me and seize the fortune within me."

"If I were to give up now and pretend nothing happened, wouldn't I, Zhu Chen, become a pushover in the eyes of the various sects in the upper realms, someone who can be manipulated at will, a pushover who endlessly yields for the sake of the so-called 'greater good'?"

"Furthermore... Today they can kill me for the Ten Fierce Treasures, and tomorrow they can kill other promising individuals for other opportunities. If this trend is not stopped, before the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths can unite to fight against external enemies, their own people will kill each other off. Is this really beneficial to the overall situation?"

Ye Qingxian opened her mouth, wanting to refute Zhu Chen's words, but in the end she found that what Zhu Chen said seemed to make sense.

Unprincipled concessions will only embolden some people.

Making an example of someone to scare others might be the best solution!

Seeing that Ye Qingxian remained silent, Zhu Chen continued, "Therefore, this precedent cannot be set, and this debt must be settled, but there are some nuances to how it should be settled."

"Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt its debtor. This whole mess was caused by the Underworld, so I'm going to settle this score with them!"

"I'm only targeting the Underworld, but I also want to show other lineages in the Upper Realm what price they'll pay for provoking me."

Zhu Chen's thinking was very clear.

He did this to both avenge himself and to consider the bigger picture.

This will not cause the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths to lose too much combat power.

After listening to his story, Ye Qingxian's furrowed brows finally relaxed.

The worry in her eyes gradually faded, replaced by a sense of realization and acceptance.

Ye Qingxian had to admit that Zhu Chen's plan was far wiser and more effective than the all-out war she had initially feared.

If you put yourself in their shoes...

If she were Zhu Chen, and faced such a targeted and besieged attack from those great sects of the Upper Realm, she would never have swallowed this insult.

Zhu Chen is now only targeting the ringleader to intimidate the rest.

Indeed, in the current complex situation, it is a choice that can both protect one's own interests and take into account the overall situation.

After careful consideration, Ye Qingxian nodded and said, "What you said makes sense. The Underworld has indeed gone too far this time. If we let it go easily, it will harm your Dao heart and will not be beneficial to the overall situation in the long run. Targeting the Underworld as a warning to others may be the most appropriate approach at present."

"However... the Netherworld is one of the immortal lineages of the Upper Realm, with an ancient heritage and unfathomable depths. Its true lair must be extremely dangerous. Although you have broken through to the True God realm, you are going there alone..."

"Who said I'm alone?"

Zhu Chen suddenly smiled. He turned around and his gaze swept over the firm and trusting faces behind him.

Xiao Yan grinned, the strange fire dancing at his fingertips: "Wherever Big Brother goes, I'll go! The Upper Realm Netherworld? Perfect, I'll see!"

Lin Dong clenched his fist, and the power of the Ancestral Symbol instantly appeared behind him: "Count me in too!"

Wang Lin didn't say anything, but silently stepped forward to show his attitude through his actions.

Luo Feng, Han Li, Qian Renxue... even Huo Ling'er, all had a look of support in their eyes at this moment.

Seeing this, Zhu Chen felt a warm feeling well up in his heart.

He turned to look at Ye Qingxian again, and said confidently, "Look, I have brothers and friends. Although the Underworld is powerful, it's not a den of dragons or tigers. What's wrong with venturing in? Besides..."

As he finished speaking, Zhu Chen's eyes suddenly became incredibly sharp.

"My friends, Zhu Chen, are far more than just these..."
