"Have you made up your minds?" Jianchen arrived before the eight protectors and glanced past them as he asked calmly.
The eight Radiant Divine King looked at each other and seemed rather dispirited. They said, "We've already made up our minds. We all believe that we should run as far away as possible. The World of Moon and Star is so large that even elder He Tian's soul can only envelop a small portion of it. No matter how powerful Aoyama is, he's only a Divine King. We don't believe that he can scour the entire World of Moon and Star in just a year. "
"We only need to stay here for a year. A year later, when the World of Moon and Star opens again, the sacred hall will definitely send powerful elders to search the entire World of Moon and Star. Those elders will definitely find us."
"This might be our only chance at survival …"
"If that's the case, let's move quickly," said Jian Chen. This time, he did not say anything. If elder He Tian was still present, the Radiant Divine King would still have the ability to contend against Aoyama.
However, elder He Tian was dead now. Even if all the protectors of the five groups worked together, they would not be Aoyama's opponent. They had already lost their only chance at contending against Aoyama.
Running far away and hiding was indeed the only option for the Radiant Divine King.
Afterwards, everyone continued on their way. Jianchen and Donglin Yan Xue moved slowly due to their weaker strength. As a result, they were enveloped by a layer of light from the protectors, allowing them to travel with them.
Because of that, the speed at which they were traveling was greatly increased.
Donglin Yan Xue had already given up on the mission of collecting Radiant Origin Pearls. Aoyama's arrival had completely disrupted their mission.
At the same time, the four groups led by Gongzheng Xin, Xin Bin, An Da, and Shi De made the same decision as Donglin Yanxue in the World of Moon and Star. The four teams split up and fled in four different directions.
Aoyama's name was definitely a terrifying nightmare in the eyes of all the Divine Kings of the Radiant Saint Hall. As a result, when they learnt that Aoyama had also entered the World of Moon and Star, the Divine Kings of Radiant Saint Hall became utterly terrified. The only thought left in their heads was to flee far away and avoid Aoyama's search. None of them dared to think about fighting against Aoyama.
"Elder He Tian has a way to communicate with the outside world. Something so big has happened in the World of Moon and Star. I'm sure elder He Tian has already reported it to the Sacred Hall in the outside world. All we need to do is carefully hide. The Sacred Hall will naturally send experts to kill Aoyama."
A middle-aged Divine King of Radiant Saint Hall who belonged to Shi De's group said. Although he said that, his face was still filled with great unease.
When elder He Tian fought with Aoyama, all of them chose to flee as quickly as possible. They did not dare to approach him at all. As a result, apart from Jianchen, no one in the World of Moon and Star knew that elder He Tian was already dead.
Elder He Tian did indeed possess a way to communicate with the outside world, but as the World of Moon and Star was of a high grade, the boundaries were extremely tough. He needed to activate the formation cast down in order to communicate with the outside world. However, elder He Tian did not have the time to activate the formation when he was fighting Aoyama.
As a result, the news that happened in the World of Moon and Star after elder He Tian's death did not spread to the outside world like all the Radiant Godkings had hoped.
The outside world had no idea what had happened in the World of Moon and Star at all.
The nine Divine King of Radiant Saint Hall frantically fled with Shi De. All of them pushed their speed to the limit.
However, at this moment, a powerful presence suddenly appeared in the distance. It approached their group at an extremely terrifying speed.
Sensing the presence, the nine Divine King of Radiant Saint Hall all paled. They all cried out in fear.
"It's not elder He Tian. It's Aoyama. Oh no, Aoyama has caught up …"
"Why don't I see elder He Tian? Has elder He Tian already been defeated …"
"Run, run …"
…
The nine protectors of Shi De all paled. The group of ten that had originally gathered together fell into chaos at this moment. Four of them broke away from the group and fled in four different directions in panic.
The actions of the four people were like a fuse, causing the other protectors to abandon Shi De and flee in all directions.
In their opinion, they might have a better chance of survival if they did that.
Shi De was a short little fatty. He looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, but in reality, he had already cultivated for several hundred years. When he saw his nine protectors leave one after another, his chubby round face instantly turned extremely ugly.
In the distance, Aoyama gradually appeared. He radiated with a surging presence as he strolled through the air, directly making his way over. He seemed like he was taking a leisurely stroll, but he crossed a thousand kilometers with each step. He arrived before Shi De in a single instance.
"Which one of the five candidates are you?" Aoyama hovered in the air as he stared at Shi De coldly. His eyes were filled with killing intent.
"I- i- I'm Shi De …" Shi De's chubby face was filled with fear as he stammered out.
"Shi De? Very good, you can die now! "Killing intent flashed through Aoyama's eyes as he extended a finger towards Shi De's forehead.
Spurt!
A finger-sized, bloody hole immediately appeared between Shi De's eyebrows as he collapsed powerlessly.
Shi De, one of the five candidates, had died in an instant.
However, Aoyama acted like he had just done something insignificant. He looked in the direction that the nine Divine King of Light had fled in.
He sneered, "Do you think you can escape just like that? You underestimate me, Aoyama, far too much. This time, no matter how far you flee or how well-hidden you are, all the Hallowed Saint Masters who have entered the World of Moon and Star will die in the end. "
"This time, I, Aoyama, will make it so that the Radiant Saint Hall has no Chosen Saint."
With that, Aoyama pursued the nine Divine King of Light who had scattered.
Before long, Aoyama caught up to the nine Divine King of Light who were responsible for protecting Shi De. Without any exception, all of them were mercilessly slain by Aoyama.
Before Aoyama who could rival the Primordial realm or even kill Primordial realm experts, the Radiant Divine King of Light who only had mid seven-colored soulcores were unable to put up any resistance at all.
After slaughtering Shi De's group, Aoyama stood where he was and closed his eyes. He used a secret technique to sense the surroundings silently.
A few seconds later, Aoyama opened his eyes. He looked to the left and smiled coldly, "I've found the second group." With that, Aoyama turned into a blur and shot off with lightning-like speed towards the second group.
The second group he had found happened to be the group led by Donglin Yan Xue.
When Aoyama pursued Shi De's group, he had unintentionally closed the distance between him and Donglin Yan Xue's group. As a result, not only did Donglin Yan Xue's group fail to distance themselves from Aoyama, but they instead became one of the four remaining groups.
