As Liyu Zhen was slaying star beetles, he would occasionally hear the roaring of the deified star beetle.
"Not bad. He has been holding on for this long, but why hasn't he tried to escape the star tree?" Liyu Zhen murmured casually to himself. He glanced in Han Sen's direction but didn't go towards him.
The deified star beetle was pursuing Han Sen because Liyu Zhen had enhanced the presence of death around him. Liyu Zhen had killed many star beetles himself, though. The deified star beetle could smell that, too.
Luckily, Liyu Zhen was far away, and he was using a secret skill to suppress the stench of death around him. If he was any closer, there was a chance that the deified star beetle would sense the presence of its fellows' deaths on him, and go after him instead.
So, Liyu Zhen stayed away from Han Sen's part of the tree. He didn't know that his plan to keep Han Sen from killing star beetles actually wasn't working very well.
