"It must be that the mother extraterrestrial creature just now spat its own child onto that super-strong extraterrestrial creature outside the town, causing it to roar in anger and come over here to find the culprit!" Taichu Zhenren said with a grim expression.
At this moment, Taichu Zhenren's heart was about to explode. After all, this was his oversight, which led everyone into trouble!
We must understand that if Taichu Zhenren had blocked that extraterrestrial creature and the small extraterrestrial creature it spat out, this situation would not have occurred. But it was too late to say anything now; they had already alarmed the extraterrestrial creature outside the town, and it was inevitable they would have to face it.
Of course, Taichu Zhenren and the others did not necessarily have to face that extraterrestrial creature; they could still hide inside Ye Tianfan's Chaos Divine Pearl.
After all, if everyone hides inside the Chaos Divine Pearl, they could wait safely until that extraterrestrial creature leaves before coming out again.
Although this disrupted their plan, there was no other choice; when faced with a more formidable enemy, they could only run away or find a way to defeat it.
However, at present, there's no way to defeat it. Its strength is too powerful. Even if everyone united could defeat this extraterrestrial creature, Taichu Zhenren felt that it would be a Pyrrhic victory, with at least more than half having to perish to achieve it.
Moreover, the chances of winning weren't high. Completely defeating that extraterrestrial creature was almost impossible, so no matter how they looked at it, their only way was to enter Ye Tianfan's Chaos Divine Pearl.
"Nephew Tianfan, it seems the only way is to enter your Chaos Divine Pearl, otherwise we will have to sacrifice ourselves." Taichu Zhenren said, looking at Ye Tianfan.
It's not that Taichu Zhenren is cowardly, but there are too many people here who would hold him back. Although everyone could damage this extraterrestrial creature, the gap in strength meant they couldn't actually harm it.
Just like how Ye Tianfan could harm Taichu Zhenren, but in a real fight, Taichu Zhenren wouldn't even let Ye Tianfan touch him once, resulting in Ye Tianfan losing because he couldn't land a hit.
The same situation applies here. They couldn't touch the extraterrestrial creature, so in an actual fight, they would just be burdens to Taichu Zhenren, and nothing else would occur, which is why Taichu Zhenren first thought of entering Ye Tianfan's Chaos Divine Pearl instead of preparing everyone for battle.
After all, even Taichu Zhenren couldn't resolve this extraterrestrial creature. If he fought it, it would almost certainly end badly for him. So, without any assurance, he wouldn't let these people take the risk.
Taichu Zhenren knew every one of them was a treasure to their respective sects. If any of them died, it would grieve their sects deeply, much like if Taichu Sect's Bai Feng or Senior Brother Yun Tian died, it would deeply sadden their masters because each of them was cherished by their masters.
Although Senior Brother Yun Tian was no longer Taichu Zhenren's cherished disciple, that position now belonged to Ye Tianfan.
But still, if Senior Brother Yun Tian died, Taichu Zhenren would be very sorrowful.
Everyone here was worth cherishing, not that other disciples were not, but because these disciples had consumed vast resources and their masters had invested a lot of emotions toward them, they generally held them in higher regard than others.
This closeness stems from their talent. Although they may show some kindness towards other disciples, it's not as apparent, and if a talented disciple requested something favorable to them, their masters would strive to obtain it for them.
For ordinary disciples, if they wanted something, their masters would have them wait until it was convenient to assist them; if not, they would wait.
As realistic as it sounded, this was the reality because it highlighted the importance of talent.
Some masters even despised lazy disciples. Although those disciples abandoned themselves, their masters hadn't given up on them. But if they did, they would ignore them no matter what, as long as it didn't affect other disciples and only themselves, the masters would turn a blind eye.
Ye Tianfan nodded after hearing Taichu Zhenren's words, then brought everyone into the Chaos Divine Pearl. Ye Tianfan could monitor external circumstances through the Chaos Divine Pearl, acting as a scout to observe the outside.
After collecting everyone into the Chaos Divine Pearl, it was within three breaths before the extraterrestrial creature reached their location.
Had Ye Tianfan been any slower, they might have lost two or three people.
If that happened, it would have been awkward because any death would impact their morale.
Everyone was enveloped in sadness, especially after having already lost many previously. They had resolved to venture beyond the walls again, yet an unshakable sorrow lingered in their hearts.
If one or two people died in a place where no deaths were expected, it might rekindle the hidden sadness among them.
That could directly affect their morale.
If their morale were affected at that time, it could severely impact them; they'd lose the motivation to move forward, and it would be a matter of just surviving, as they remained unsure if they'd be the next to die.
Such is the importance of morale; once it's gone, they become like zombies.
Ye Tianfan sighed inwardly despite the urgency because they at least managed to hide within the Chaos Divine Pearl before the extraterrestrial creature arrived, avoiding harm from it.
