They had already heard of Aoyama's name. Even though they hated Aoyama to the core, they dared not resist at all when they actually saw him. The only thought they had was to flee, flee, flee, and flee as far away as possible. It would be best if they could flee to a place where Aoyama could not find them and hide.
Even Donglin Yan Xue struggled to remain composed after being enveloped by the light of the protectors. Her delicate face paled slightly as deep unease filled her eyes.
Jian Chen was the only person who remained composed among them. However, his brows were tightly furrowed at this moment.
"Let's gather up with the other four groups quickly and combine all the power of the Radiant Divine King before working with elder He Tian. It's not impossible for us to fight against Aoyama," Jianchen said calmly.
However, the eight protectors turned a deaf ear to Jian Chen's words. They directly acted like they did not exist. Not only did they not rush towards the other four groups, but they even fled into the distance instead.
Jianchen could see slivers of undisguised fear in their eyes, as well as some despair.
Jianchen sighed inside when he discovered this. He was extremely disappointed in these people.
Out of the five groups, there were a total of forty-four Divine Kings. If these Divine Kings worked together, they would be a great force. Coupled with elder He Tian, he believed that they would be enough to fend off Aoyama.
Even if they were still not Aoyama's opponent, they would not be completely annihilated by Aoyama.
Even if there was a tiny difference, he could secretly assist them when the time came. They were completely capable of fending off Aoyama. It was even possible for them to suppress Aoyama.
However, he had underestimated the fear the protectors felt towards Aoyama. They did not have the courage to fight against Aoyama at all.
They did not dare to fight against Aoyama, so they remained by Jianchen's side the entire time. As a result, Jianchen could not find an opportunity to assist them secretly even if he wanted to.
Elder He Tian, on the other hand, changed directions after bellowing out. He flew off in another direction to draw Aoyama away.
As for Qing Shan, he glanced past Donglin Yanxue's group indifferently as a cold smile appeared on his face. Afterwards, he continued in pursuit of elder He Tian.
In his eyes, the Divine King of Light was nothing to worry about. No matter how they fled, they would not be able to escape from him in the end. However, elder He Tian was an elder of the sacred hall, so it was extremely likely that he possessed a way to contact the outside world. As a result, killing elder He Tian was his top priority right now.
Aoyama gradually travelled into the distance as he pursued elder He Tian. The booms from their battle grew further and further away as well. In the end, they completely vanished.
The eight Divine King of Light who fled with Jianchen and Donglin Yan Xue did not stop. They did not slow down at all as they fled even further away from the World of Moon and Star.
Along the way, they even flew over the territories of a few vicious beasts, causing the vicious beasts there to chase after them madly. However, they ignored them as well. They only cared about fleeing.
"Sigh." Jianchen sighed inside. He had still underestimated the protectors' fear of Aoyama, which made him feel extremely helpless. He had already sensed the existence of several Radiant Origin Pearls along the way, but he could only watch them pass by in the end. He could not warn them at all.
The flight lasted for half a day. Half a day later, the eight protectors finally stopped and landed in a hidden forest.
"Junior Yan Xue, junior Chang Yang, do you have any way to contact the outside world?" As soon as they stopped, one of the eight protectors, the lord of the Cloud Mist Peak, Le Fan, asked. He was very stern.
The other seven protectors all looked at Jianchen and Donglin Yan Xue eagerly.
They did not even have the courage to fight against Aoyama. Even the only elder in the World of Moon and Star was not Aoyama's opponent. Now, they could only place their hopes on Jianchen and Donglin Yan Xue, two juniors with extraordinary backgrounds. They hoped that they could contact the outside world and let the sacred hall learn about the situation inside so that they could send even more powerful elders to kill Aoyama.
Donglin Yan Xue shook her head gloomily, "The World of Moon and Star is a miniature world. None of the methods I know can pass through the obstruction of the miniature world and reach the sacred hall. I can't contact anyone in the outside world."
The eight protectors were unable to hide their disappointment when they heard that. They all looked at Jianchen. One of them looked at Jianchen eagerly and asked urgently, "Junior Chang Yang, you should have a way to contact vice-leader Xuan Zhan, right?"
Jianchen also sighed gently, "I'm the same as Donglin Yan Xue. We're separated by a world, so we can't contact the outside world at all."
"Probably only elder He Tian has a way to contact the sacred hall here. We can't do anything," Donglin Yan Xue added. She was also heavy-hearted.
The eight protectors' faces became ugly when they heard that. Elder He Tian was currently being hunted down by Aoyama. He was busy running for his life, so how could he have the time to contact the outside world? They had no idea how much longer he could last.
As soon as they thought about how they would all face Aoyama's merciless pursuit, they immediately felt extremely uneasy and fearful.
"You can consider my suggestion before. If you keep delaying it, it really might be too late," Jianchen said again. In his opinion, this was the only way for the Radiant Saint Masters to fend off Aoyama.
The eight Radiant Saint Masters all hesitated. After a moment of silence, they all expressed their opinions and began an intense discussion about Jianchen's suggestion.
Only two of them agreed with Jianchen's suggestion. They wanted to gather with the other four groups and then work with elder He Tian to deal with Aoyama using all the power of the Divine King.
There was also a portion of them who objected. They believed that even if they gathered everyone's power, they would not necessarily be Aoyama's opponent. After all, Aoyama's name had already become deeply ingrained in their hearts. They were unwilling to face Aoyama in an open battle. They believed that they should use the opportunity when Aoyama was focused on elder He Tian to flee far away and hide themselves. This would continue until the World of Moon and Star opened up again a year later.
The final portion of people remained hesitant. They struggled to make a decision.
At this moment, Jianchen and Donglin Yan Xue were no longer of much use. At a time like this, even Donglin Yan Xue's identity as the Divine King struggled to influence the decisions of the Radiant Divine King.
This was because Donglin Yan Xue was not a true Chosen Saint, while the eight Radiant Divine King were only her protectors. Their main mission was to protect her, not to serve as her retainers.
Jianchen felt helpless as he listened to the arguments of the Divine King. He was in no mood to listen to them. He made his way to a nearby tree all by himself before leaping onto the branch. His body was as weightless as a leaf as he sat down on a branch that was only as thick as a wrist.
He stared ahead as light erupted from his eyes. His gaze became extraordinarily sharp at that moment, directly piercing through space and looking into the distance.
