Having made up his mind, Lu Ye did not hesitate. Even with Tai Kun City's Uniting Dao Pearl temptation right before his eyes, no temptation could outweigh his own safety.
The only thing that comforted him was that the Starry Sky Chessboard was not fleeing in his direction. Thus, even if Blood Calamity gave chase, he would not choose Lu Ye.

Lu Ye turned around and unleashed the Blood Escape Art. Blood mist enveloped his body as he immediately prepared to flee.

This thing is rotten to the core!
A powerful aura rapidly approached from behind. It was Blood Calamity.
