Chapter 1180 - 1280: Chaos Divine Pearl Displays Its Might

When everyone heard this person's words, they turned their heads to look at him.

They found that this person was not very familiar to them, probably just someone from a very small sect.

The Taichu Sect Leader turned his head away immediately, ignoring this person, because just from the aura emanating from this person, he was only at the Baichui level.

To stand firm outside the wall, let alone the Baichui level, even the Shifang level wouldn't be enough to survive. This Baichui level, to put it bluntly, wouldn't even make a splash outside the wall.

So the Taichu Sect Leader was too lazy to pay attention to him, believing this person was just showing off.

Seeing that others looked at him and then ignored him, the person quickly spoke up, "I'm excellent at running away, even the Sect Leader of the Dali Sect couldn't catch me."

Hmm?

Upon hearing this, the Taichu Sect Leader hesitated. The Sect Leader of the Dali Sect possessed Shifang level power, while this person was only at the elementary Baichui level. Being able to escape from her suggested that this person had some skill, but simply being able to escape didn't mean he was suited for the task.

After all, only when the Taichu Sect Leader used his full speed could he avoid the thunder from the sky.

Seeing this person, the Taichu Sect Leader pondered: if this person could exceed his own speed, he might allow him to try. After all, if his speed surpassed that of the Taichu Sect Leader, it would suggest he was suited for the task.

Of course, not just the speed of the Taichu Sect Leader, but also some other sect leaders were similarly capable. Ultimately, all the Chang Sect leaders could dodge thunder when it struck down, although they couldn't avoid its humanoid form's speed.

Thus, the Taichu Sect Leader decided to test this person, to see how fast he really was.

But the Taichu Sect Leader wouldn't personally make a move, as doing so would lower his status and make him seem to be bullying others. After all, being the number one in the world, whether he won or lost would not benefit him. Winning wouldn't cause any stir, as he was already the number one. If he loudly proclaimed victory, it would be disgraceful.

But if he lost, that would create a spectacle, significantly damaging the prestige of the Taichu Sect.

If the speed of the number one in the world was defeated by someone at the Baichui level, it would suggest that other Chang Sect leaders would also lose to this person. Regardless of what others thought, or even what they themselves believed, none of them had directly competed with this person in speed, so there was no confirmation if this person surpassed other sect leaders.

And the Taichu Sect Leader would have truly lost to this person.

Of course, this was just hypothetical. The Taichu Sect Leader wasn't going to personally compete in speed against someone at the Baichui level; it would be too much like bullying. So the Taichu Sect Leader would have others take on the task, such as other sect leaders, using a refusal-free challenge, known commonly as shifting the trouble onto others.

He passed this difficult competition to others and didn't take the risk himself, even though he was certain of winning. As long as the person's speed was somewhat close to that of the Taichu Sect Leader, he would have him try.

Because speed wasn't truly the Taichu Sect Leader's forte, but even so, his speed exceeded the speed of lightning. So as long as the person's speed seemed sufficient, he could evade the heavenly thunder.

The method of gauging this person's speed will be addressed later, but it was easy to do, and since the task was passed to others, the Taichu Sect Leader had other matters to address.

At this moment, the Taichu Sect Leader hesitated over whether to risk Ye Tianfan.

This meant having Ye Tianfan reveal a powerful magical treasure, of course not the Chaos Treasure Lotus, but the Chaos Divine Pearl. The Chaos Divine Pearl, according to Ye Tianfan, was a powerful treasure that could collect everyone into it on the spot and hide in another space, avoiding the thunder from above.

The Sect Leader thought it might be time for Ye Tianfan to reveal the Chaos Divine Pearl, as it, combined with the Chaos Treasure Lotus, would ensure their safe survival outside the wall.

While some might blame them for not having Ye Tianfan reveal the Chaos Divine Pearl earlier, preventing such heavy losses.

Yet the Sect Leader decided to first ask Ye Tianfan if he was willing to reveal the Chaos Divine Pearl, for forcing him to do so might leave a rift in his heart.

Of course, this was only a last resort. If no other solution could be found, the Sect Leader would have Ye Tianfan reveal the Chaos Divine Pearl, otherwise, it might place him in danger.

Having such a treasure and failing to reveal it until many sects had suffered heavy losses would certainly draw their ire towards the Taichu Sect Leader and Ye Tianfan.

If the Taichu Sect Leader had allowed Ye Tianfan to use the Chaos Divine Pearl from the start, the sects inside the wall would not have suffered such great losses, provided they moved together, as its protective range was limited.

If they split up, Ye Tianfan couldn't protect everyone, which could slow their progress considerably. Hence, the Taichu Sect Leader hadn't initially considered it, leading to the current situation.

With this thought, the Taichu Sect Leader walked directly towards Ye Tianfan, unlike the others who watched the person's speed test; it was of little interest to the Taichu Sect Leader.

Although Ye Tianfan was somewhat interested in watching, seeing the Sect Leader approach, he refrained from joining the rest.
