"But even if it really is like what I imagine it to be, who knows how long it'll take for me to become the ruler of the World of Moon and Star. Ten droplets of essence blood from Grand Exalts isn't that easy," Jianchen dismissed his thoughts and stopped thinking about this for now. Instead, he lowered his head and observed Donglin Yan Xue.
Donglin Yan Xue remained in his arms. Her eyes were still closed, and she was unconscious. Her senses towards the outside world had been reduced to zero.
"Her wounds haven't worsened, but they haven't improved either. Now that the mist is gone, she should wake up very soon," Jianchen murmured. He observed the surroundings before flying off in a certain direction.
Donglin Yan Xue was unconscious, so there was no need for him to continue hiding his strength. He immediately travelled as quickly as he could, flying towards the depths of the World of Moon and Star.
At the same time, he used the Laws of Space. With the assistance of the Laws of Space, he moved extremely quickly. He could cross a thousand kilometres or even two thousand kilometres in a single instance.
A distance of ten thousand miles was merely a few breaths of time in his eyes.
"Although I don't know how much time has passed, I need to get as far away as possible before Donglin Yan Xue wakes up and avoid Aoyama …"
"Although I don't fear Aoyama, it's impossible for Donglin Yan Xue to remain unconscious forever. Once she wakes up, I won't be able to take action, or my identity will be exposed, and I won't be able to enter the Tower of Radiance anymore."
"Now, I can only hope that Aoyama has already left the World of Moon and Star …" Jianchen thought. As he travelled at full speed, he paid attention to Donglin Yan Xue at all times. Once Donglin Yan Xue showed signs of waking up, he would need to slow down.
Jianchen moved with lightning speed. Spatial power revolved around him as if he had fused with space, allowing him to move even faster than lightning. In just a short moment, he had already travelled several million kilometres.
Suddenly, Jianchen came to a halt. He stopped in a stone forest and stared ahead.
A white-robed Divine King lay on the ground a hundred metres away. Most of his pure-white robes had been dyed red with blood. He had completely lost all signs of life, having been reduced to an ice-cold corpse.
Jianchen arrived before the corpse and looked at the familiar face of the Divine King.
He recognised the Divine King. He was one of the protectors who had come here with Donglin Yan Xue. However, he had abandoned Donglin Yan Xue when he was pursued by Aoyama.........................
Jianchen felt no sympathy for the death of the Divine King at all. At the same time, the deaths of these people were within his expectations.
Aoyama had entered the World of Moon and Star to clean up the candidates training there. However, with the enmity between the Martial Soul lineage and the Radiant Saint Hall, even if the protectors abandoned the candidates and fled for their lives, they would not be able to escape death in the end.
"I wonder how many protectors are still alive in the World of Moon and Star, and whether the other four candidates are dead or not," Jian Chen murmured. However, he did not let go of the protector's corpse. He stowed it away in his divine hall.
Now that the Immortal Devouring Orchid had gradually matured, it required more and more corpses as it grew stronger. Instead of leaving the Divine King's corpse here to benefit the vicious beasts, he would be better off using it as nourishment for the Immortal Devouring Orchid.
Afterwards, in order to avoid leaving any traces behind, Jianchen changed the scene into one where vicious beasts had passed by before leaving.
"When the World of Moon and Star opens, the elders of the Radiant Saint Hall will definitely enter the World of Moon and Star to conduct a thorough search.
Jianchen continued on his way with Donglin Yan Xue in his arms. Along the way, he found many dwelling occupied by vicious beasts with the senses of his soul. Perhaps it was because of the strange mist, but all the dwellings were empty. The vicious beasts that lived there had already fled far away, and they had yet to return.
Clearly, the vicious beasts feared the mist very much. Even after the mist had dispersed, they still did not return.
"There are quite a few Radiant Origin Pearls in the territories of the vicious beasts. It's just that every single Radiant Origin Pearl has been purposely placed there by the elders of the Sacred Hall. The number of Radiant Origin Pearls is recorded clearly, so I can't take a single one." Jianchen was filled with pity. He could sense pure Radiant Saint Force origin energy within the Radiant Origin Pearls. If he used it for cultivation, it would be extremely beneficial to any Radiant Saint Master.
Before long, Donglin Yan Xue finally woke up. As soon as she woke up, Jianchen immediately slowed down. He only used the ability of a Radiant Saint Master with a one-colored soulcore to travel.
As a result, he was naturally as slow as an ant compared to before.
"This is … the World of Moon and Star. Chang Yang, how did we make it out of the mist?" As soon as she woke up, Donglin Yan Xue asked.
"I don't know either. I just walked around and came out."
"The mist was very strange. Its appearance made all the vicious beasts in the World of Moon and Star very uneasy. Didn't you encounter any danger in there?" Donglin Yan Xue was extremely curious. She had fainted very quickly in the mist, so she had no idea what had happened.
"No. The mist might have been a threat to the vicious beasts, but it shouldn't have targeted us …" Jianchen casually brushed it off. The mist was actually a combination of the power of the Primeval Artifact Spirit and the power of the curse. He believed that no one else knew of its existence apart from himself and the sword spirits.
"The mist shouldn't have been so simple. If I can make it out alive, I'll definitely report this to the elders …"
Jianchen carried Donglin Yan Xue for an entire day before finding a cave to rest. He acted like he was recovering.
"Fortunately, we didn't come across any vicious beasts along the way. However, I wonder if the greatest threat, Aoyama, has left or not. I hope he has already left the World of Moon and Star." In the gloomy cave, Donglin Yanxue leaned against the wall weakly as she sat on the ground. Deep worry filled her face.
Due to the appearance of the strange mist, many vicious beasts had fled far away in fright. A very large area of safety had appeared in the World of Moon and Star. She no longer needed to worry too much about the threat from the vicious beasts. Only Aoyama's existence made her feel uneasy.
"We should have stayed in the mist for quite some time. The World of Moon and Star should open soon. Perhaps Aoyama has already left," Jianchen said as he acted like he was recovering nearby.
However, his face changed very soon. His powerful soul had already sensed Aoyama's presence. Even though Aoyama did not purposefully radiate with a terrifying presence, he did not hide it at all either. He flew towards Jianchen in a straight line.
"Oh no, Aoyama is actually still in the World of Moon and Star. Not only has he not left, but he's even found my exact location. How did he find us?" Jianchen's heart sank. He looked at Donglin Yan Xue nearby, and the light in his eyes flickered.
Donglin Yan Xue was still conscious right now. If he struck, he would directly expose himself. He had thought about knocking Donglin Yan Xue unconscious, but once Donglin Yan Xue woke up, she would only need to think about it slightly to expose his strength.
After all, Donglin Yan Xue had a peak four-colored soulcore. Even though she was heavily injured, she was not someone a Radiant Saint Master with a one-colored soulcore could knock out so easily.
