Perfect: Many children, many blessings! Join the chat group!

Zhu Chen's lips twitched a few times as he looked at Han Li's comment about 'showing weakness'.

It wasn't that he didn't want to team up with this old devil Han for dungeons, it was just that the guy's self-evaluation was really making him lose his composure.

If you say that Xiao Yan is not good at killing, he can remain silent.

Even if Lin Dong said this, he might believe it.

But you might say that Han Li is not good at killing.

He absolutely refused to believe it.

Zhu Chen: Third brother, you're being too modest. I've read your "A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality." Not counting your avatars and clones, the number of people you, Han Li, have personally killed since you embarked on the path of cultivation is a total of 481,804.

You have fallen into a state of crisis five times in your life. One of those times was because you had committed too many killings and were attacked by evil energy.

Ironically, once when you took out the Five-Hearted Demon, even the number one demonic cultivator of the Chaotic Star Sea, the Six Paths Supreme Saint, was stunned, thinking he had met a fellow demon!
If you call this 'not good at killing'? Then tell me, what exactly is 'killing'?
Must the slaughter of millions and the bloodshed of an entire realm be considered 'killing'?

Zhu Chen's series of questions immediately silenced the entire chat group.

No one expected that Han Li, who usually seemed honest and unassuming, was actually a ruthless killer.

Even Han Li himself was stunned by Zhu Chen's precise statistics, and it took him a while to reply in the group.

[Han Li: Brother... what you've described is all part of the history in the original story. Now that I know the future, I naturally won't walk that bloody path of cultivation again. In this life, I will definitely restrain myself and cultivate my character, and commit fewer acts of killing...]

Zhu Chen almost laughed out of anger at Han Li's sophistry.

[Zhu Chen: Come on, you think you can be self-disciplined and cultivate your character? You'll probably kill someone and then pin the blame on 'Li Feiyu,' casually saying, 'What does it have to do with me, Han Li, that Li Feiyu killed someone?' I know that routine all too well.]

[Han Li: ???]

Han Li was at a loss for words and could only send a series of question marks in the group, pretending not to know.

Because what Zhu Chen is saying now is exactly what he used to do.

When the others in the group saw that Han Li did not refute this time, they all showed an expression of disbelief.

[Xiao Yan: Holy crap, Third Brother... no, Brother Han! You really are a master of disguise!]

[Lin Dong: I always thought Third Brother was a steady expert at escaping, but I didn't expect him to be such a ruthless person!]

[Naruto Uzumaki: Our Hidden Leaf Village doesn't even have more than 400,000 people... That's terrifying!]

[Luo Feng: It seems my understanding of Third Brother was too one-sided.]

[Qian Renxue: As expected, none of those who can stay in this group are simple...]

The group members flooded the chat with exclamations of amazement.

It was only at this moment that they realized how horrifying the bloodstains on the hands of this Brother Han, who only knew how to run away in the face of trouble.

However, just as everyone was shocked by Han Li's "killing record", Wang Lin, who was also a cultivator, sent a message of support for him.

[Wang Lin: The number of lives taken is not the sole criterion for measuring good and evil. In our world of cultivation, the strong prey on the weak, and there is constant deceit and treachery. Every moment, lives are lost. My third brother killed over 480,000 people in his lifetime. In my opinion, that is not unreasonable. If we were in his shoes, for the sake of seeking the Dao and for survival, I might have killed far more than that if necessary.]

Wang Lin's tone was calm and even, as if he were stating something perfectly ordinary.

This surprised many people.

[Xiao Yan: Second Brother, judging from your tone, do you mean you've killed more people than Third Brother?] Xiao Yan couldn't help but ask.

Wang Lin remained silent for a moment, seemingly deep in thought, before finally replying in the group chat:
[Wang Lin: If we follow the original novel *Xian Ni*, the number of people I've killed is at least several million.]

[Xiao Yan:...]

【Lin Dong: ……】

[Everyone:...]

Wang Lin's answer at this moment was even more impactful than Han Li's '480,000', sending a chill down everyone's spine.

What does it mean to kill millions of people?
It’s unimaginable!
[Xiao Yan: Second...Second Brother, aren't you cultivators supposed to be most concerned about inner demons? Killing so many people, aren't you afraid of the backlash from your inner demons, causing your soul to be scattered during your tribulation?]

Wang Lin: Killing someone is enough if you have a clear conscience. All the people I have killed had a way to die, either because they blocked my path or wanted to kill me. Killing them is to sever the cause and effect and clear away the obstacles.

This is because one's thoughts are clear and unobstructed; how can there be inner demons?
Even if inner demons arise, simply cut them down.

On the contrary, failing to kill those who deserve death, leaving them to cause trouble, leads to inner turmoil and unease, making it easier for inner demons to arise and obstruct my path.

Wang Lin's decisive and ruthless remarks caused everyone else in the group to fall into deep thought.

Han Li, in particular, couldn't help but think of his early mentor, Li Huayuan, after hearing Wang Lin's words.

He remembered that the other party's path seemed to be seeking a clear mind and a clear conscience, which coincided with the path that Wang Lin sought!

[Zhu Chen: Alright, we can talk about other things next time. I've opened a dimensional portal to the Battle Through the Heavens world. Anyone who wants to come and explore the Ancient Emperor's Cave can go right now...]

Seeing that he had inadvertently veered off-topic, Zhu Chen immediately opened a dimensional portal to the Doupo world in order not to waste time. Without saying anything more, he vanished from the courtyard in Peacock City in an instant.

next moment.

Fight to break the world.

The inner courtyard of Canaan College.

Zhu Chen stepped out amidst a spatial ripple and appeared directly in front of the detached house where Xiao Yan was.

Xiao Yan had been waiting there for a long time. When he saw Zhu Chen appear, he immediately greeted him excitedly: "Big brother, you've finally arrived!"

Zhu Chen nodded, his gaze sweeping over Xiao Yan. He could sense that the boy's aura was much stronger than before, clearly indicating that he hadn't slacked off in his cultivation during this time.

At this moment, the door behind Xiao Yan was opened, and a handsome white-haired man walked out.

Zhu Chen sensed a powerful aura emanating from this person.

"Young friend Zhu Chen, we meet again..."

The white-haired man bowed to Zhu Chen, then smiled and said, "I was able to be successfully resurrected this time thanks to the help of my young friend Zhu Chen!"

Zhu Chen's gaze sharpened slightly as he looked at the white-haired man: "Are you Elder Yao?"

The last time he saw the old man was when he was still in his soul form, and he looked like a wretched old man.

Now, the other party has transformed into an incomparably handsome white-haired youth, exuding an aura of holiness. Standing next to Xiao Yan, it feels as if Xiao Yan has become a supporting character.
