"Evil Emperor, you would do better to persuade the immortal emperors of your carefree immortal alliance to surrender to me together. Otherwise, even if you manage to escape alone, what will happen to your two masters and everyone else? You rose from a mere mortal to be revered by all major forces in the three realms as the Evil Emperor; you should understand the principle that those who submit to circumstances are wise men. The situation is stronger than people, and the wisest choice is right before you. There is no need for us to perish together."
In truth, the reason Mo Lian did not immediately strike to eliminate future troubles while holding an absolute advantage was largely due to his deep wariness of Chen Xuan.
