Now, Donglin Yan Xue had gradually calmed down from her initial uneasiness. Aoyama had not found her after all this time, so she firmly believed that Aoyama had already left. She firmly believed that she could leave this place alive.
"Chang Yang, how much longer until the one-year period ends?" Donglin Yan Xue asked gently. Jianchen had always been by her side during the year of hardship. He had truly gone through life and death with her, which made Donglin Yan Xue develop a special feeling for Jianchen.
As a matter of fact, she even developed a slight reliance on him.
"It should be soon," Jianchen said leisurely. He remained composed the entire time.
This was something he showed naturally. However, he had no idea that the presence he had unconsciously displayed had instead established a great figure in Donglin Yan Xue's heart.
At this moment, the cave where Jianchen and Donglin Yan Xue hid suddenly shook violently. The thick layer of soil above them was suddenly blown away by a powerful force. Powerful Radiant Saint Force shone with extremely bright light, causing the gloomy cave to become as bright as day in a single instance.
High up in the sky, a middle-aged woman wearing a white robe was floating in the air, looking down from a high vantage point.
Even though she was currently high and mighty, she did not reveal the slightest trace of arrogance. Instead, her gaze was tightly fixed on the ground below, and she clearly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Master!" Donglin Yan Xue raised her head instinctively. When she saw the middle-aged woman hovering in the sky, she immediately became excited. She cried out and wanted to stand up.
However, she had yet to recover from her wounds, so she had already lost the ability to move. Not only did she fail to stand up, but she even staggered and almost fell over. Fortunately, Jianchen reacted quickly and caught her in time.
The middle-aged woman was one of the elders of the Radiant Saint Hall, as well as Donglin Yan Xue's master, Mu Shui.
With a flash, Mu Shui appeared before Donglin Yan Xue in a single instance. She was unable to contain her excitement as she said in joy, "It's good that you're alive. It's good that you're alive. I thought …"
As if Donglin Yan Xue had found her only support, she hugged Mu Shui tightly and said with a sobbing voice, "Master, Aoyama of the Martial Soul lineage appeared soon after we entered the World of Moon and Star. He hunted us down, so I thought I would never see you again."
"I know. Yan Xue, you don't have to be afraid now. We've already sent many elders into the World of Moon and Star. They're searching for Aoyama everywhere. Once we find Aoyama, he'll definitely die," Mu Shui said softly. Mu Shui said gently, but Jian Chen could clearly hear the heavy killing intent in her voice.
Clearly, this was killing intent targeted towards Aoyama.
Not only had Aoyama ruined the once-in-a-millennium selection of Chosen Saint of the Radiant Saint Hall when he barged into the World of Moon and Star this time, he had even caused heavy casualties to the five candidates. This had already infuriated the Radiant Saint Hall.
"Let's go. You're heavily injured, but you'll recover very quickly once we return to the sacred hall," Mu Shui said to Donglin Yan Xue. Afterwards, she glanced at the silent Jianchen who stood to one side. She became slightly friendlier, "Chang Yang, thank you for taking care of Yan Xue during these birthdays."
Afterwards, Jianchen and Donglin Yan Xue left the World of Moon and Star under Mu Shui's lead, returning to the Radiant Saint Hall.
Many corpses had already piled up on the huge stage in the Radiant Saint Hall. Not only were there over thirty Divine King corpses, but there were even three corpses of candidates.
Out of the five candidates, Gyeonshin, Shi De, and An Da were completely dead. Only Donglin Yan Xue and Xin Bin's fates remained unknown.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the huge Radiant Saint Hall was extremely stifling. Even the two vice-leaders, Xuan Zhan and Mo He, had pale-white faces.
At this moment, another elder flew out of the World of Moon and Star with a corpse. He gently placed the corpse on the stage and said with a pained expression, "Xin Bin is dead as well."
Xuan Zhan and Mo He's gazes sharpened at that moment. At that moment, everyone could clearly sense a terrifying killing intent that could devastate the world brew within the two vice-leaders.
However, elder Mu Zhong's face became extremely sorrowful. He murmured in a daze, "Four of the five candidates have already died. It looks like something has happened to Donglin Yan Xue as well. Is our Radiant Saint Hall really going to be without a Chosen Saint this time?"
"No, not all of the five candidates are dead." At this moment, a voice rang out from the gateway. The elder, Mu Shui, flew out. Beside her were Jianchen and Donglin Yan Xue, who were surrounded by Radiant Saint Force.
"Yan Xue is still alive." Mu Shui directly arrived on the stage with Jianchen and Donglin Yan Xue. The Radiant Saint Force dispersed, and Jianchen and Donglin Yan Xue were immediately exposed before everyone.
As soon as he saw Donglin Yan Xue, elder Mu Zhong's despair-filled eyes immediately lit up with a wondrous light again. Even Vice Hall Master Xuan Zhan and Mo He's expressions softened a little.
Clearly, in their eyes, the loss of the Divine King was nowhere near as valuable as a candidate.
After all, once the Radiant Saint Hall lost a Chosen Saint, the ancient tradition that had lasted for countless years would be broken in this generation. The loss of face to the Radiant Saint Hall would be immeasurable.
Before long, the elders found the second group of survivors after Jianchen and Donglin Yan Xue. They were the three Divine King of Radiant Saint Hall. They hid extremely far away in the World of Moon and Star, so they managed to avoid the disaster.
Of course, the three of them only managed to survive because Aoyama had purposefully spared them. He wanted to reduce the suspicion towards Jianchen and Donglin Yan Xue's survival.
Afterwards, the World of Moon and Star was completely handed over to the experts of the Disciplinary Hall and Disciplinary Hall to investigate. They wanted to find how Aoyama had entered the World of Moon and Star. As for Jianchen and Donglin Yan Xue, as well as the three other Divine King of Radiant Saint Hall, elders personally went to find them to understand the situation.
