Outside the magnificent ruins, a faint golden radiance shimmered in subtle waves as the gentle breeze blew. However, despite its fragile appearance, this layer of light was incredibly solid.
During the process of waiting for the prohibition to dissipate, many cultivators attempted to forcefully break through this layer of restriction, but they all ended up empty-handed. The prohibitions set by the owner of the ruins were not easily shattered, their power far surpassing everyone's imagination.
"This ruin is truly immense!" Xia Zhiqing couldn't help but stand up, her face filled with awe. When they arrived at night, she didn't get a close look at the ruins. It was only now that she truly felt the tremendous impact.
Gong Shaoqing and the others wore expressions of astonishment on their faces as well, acknowledging the extraordinary power of these experts. Merely constructing such a ruin required considerable effort, not to mention the legacies contained within.
"The larger the ruin, the greater the risks inside. Everyone must be especially cautious," Mo Yunjue reminded them when he noticed everyone completely immersed in the grandeur of the ruin. Bai Li Hongzhuang raised an eyebrow and cast a faint glance at Mo Yunjue, indicating that he also had some understanding of the ruin.
Sensing Bai Li Hongzhuang's gaze, Mo Yunjue smiled lightly, "The dangers of ancient ruins are documented in many ancient texts."
Hearing his words, Xia Zhiqing and the others nodded in agreement. Ancient ruins were known to be extremely treacherous, but what mattered most to them was the opportunity to obtain treasures within.
Bai Li Hongzhuang surveyed the surrounding cultivators. As the sky brightened, their appearances became more discernible.
"Master, Han Xiling still hasn't shown up. Could it be that she's not coming?" Little Black frowned, finding it strange that Han Xiling hadn't made any moves despite such a perfect opportunity.
"Considering how much Han Xiling is disliked, it's possible that she has offended some powerful cultivators in the past few months and might have even met her demise," Little White remarked.
Bai Li Hongzhuang's profound phoenix eyes flickered with contemplation. She wrinkled her nose slightly, as the current situation couldn't be determined by anyone.
"As long as Han Xiling is not dead, we'll inevitably cross paths in this small world!" Bai Li Hongzhuang's tone turned cold. The conflicts between her and Han Xiling had grown increasingly intense since they first met. If they waited until they returned to the Tian Gang Sect to resolve it, it would undoubtedly become troublesome, given the presence of the elders. Han Xiling's position would not be easily shaken.
Therefore, dealing with Han Xiling in this assessment contest would be the best solution.
Little Black and Little White nodded together. "The heavens have eyes; they won't let that woman continue to have her way."
"Look, the prohibition is becoming fainter!" At that moment, a voice of surprise reached everyone's ears.
Subsequently, many sitting figures stood up, their gaze firmly fixed on the dissipating prohibition that was gradually diminishing in color. The energy ripples also weakened, indicating that it was on the verge of complete dissipation.
In no time, many cultivators prepared themselves, ready to swiftly enter the ruins once the prohibition dissipated entirely.
