It was indeed a coincidence.
Hao Shaocong and the others had all fled separately.
The majority of the banyan demon bees that had been startled originated from that banyan tree and were extremely numerous.
If these people had all run in the same direction, it would have been very difficult to shake off the banyan bees, as clearly the more banyan demon bees gathered, the higher the danger level became.
Zhu Minglang noticed that Hao Shaocong was planning to flee towards a dilapidated shrine overgrown with weeds, so he used the Ghostly Garment to move through the ruined city lanes and got to the shrine first to wait for him.
…
Dressed in black, Hao Shaocong rode a Leopard Dragon, trying hard to escape the pursuit of the banyan demon bees.
Fortunately, the banyan demon bees weren't targeting him so after he had run a substantial distance, he noticed that there were hardly any pursuers left behind him, but now he was alone.
