Such incidents of preemptively eliminating contestants are not uncommon. Lu Yu and the others occasionally spot flashes erupting in the pitch-black void, indicating they're not alone near this star.
The star-devouring insect race had just been annihilated when a spatial passage opened not far from Lu Yu and his team, and several figures flew out from it.
The leading middle-aged man, upon reaching the void, quickly scanned the surroundings. Seeing Zhao Tianjue's figure, he hurriedly led his group away, avoiding the area where Zhao Tianjue was.
The newcomers were humans from the same Divine Weapon Pavilion, so Zhao Tianjue didn't take action to eliminate them.
Of course, if they had been adversaries of the Divine Weapon Pavilion, he would have mercilessly exterminated them.
