Suddenly, with so many cultivators falling, the aspiring individuals who wanted to enter the ruins couldn't help but pause in their tracks. The moment the gates of the ruins opened, they encountered such a terrifying attack. They realized that even more horrifying assaults awaited them once they ventured inside.
For a while, the cultivators hesitated and those who were near the entrance of the ruins took a step back. After all, nobody wanted to go to their deaths. They preferred to wait for someone to safely enter before following suit.
"Let's go in," said Mo Yunjue, raising an eyebrow and exuding confidence with a charming smile on his lips. He locked his gaze onto Bai Li Hongzhuang beside him.
Bai Li Hongzhuang shifted her gaze, and their eyes met. "Alright!"
With that, Mo Yunjue and Bai Li Hongzhuang proceeded forward together. Xia Zhiqing and the others followed closely, although they were not as composed as Bai Li Hongzhuang.
"Mo Gongzi, are there even more powerful attacks waiting for us inside the ruins?" Xia Zhiqing's worried expression couldn't be concealed. They had no idea what awaited them within the ruins.
Indeed, everything was impossible to predict.
Though Palace Master Gong and the others remained silent, they too felt a sense of unease. The traps within the ruins were set by the master of the ruins, concealed in the darkness. If there were traps inside, entering would be like stepping into a firing range, a sure way to court death.
Mo Yunjue smiled, his profound eyes resembling black holes, exuding a reassuring presence with his deep and magnetic voice. "Based on my understanding, the first wave of attacks usually occurs when the gates of the ruins open. Once we enter, it should be safe. If the master of the ruins sets traps everywhere, who would be able to obtain the inheritance?"
Wisdom shimmered in Bai Li Hongzhuang's eyes. The design of these traps often depended on the whims of the master of the ruins. However, as Mo Yunjue had stated, traps were usually not concentrated in one area. If there were successive traps, it would lead to countless casualties, making it extremely difficult for anyone to progress further.
The purpose of the traps set by the master of the ruins was to select suitable inheritors, not to claim lives.
In fact, her thoughts were aligned with Mo Yunjue's. Entering now might present an opportunity. However, Mo Yunjue appeared more confident than her.
Fortune favors the bold. Since that was the case, they would give it their all!
As Bai Li Hongzhuang and the others slowly approached the entrance of the ruins, the gaze of almost every cultivator was fixed upon them.
"These guys are quite daring. They are still charging forward at a time like this. Most likely, they are heading to their deaths!"
"It's good to have such people. Let them explore the path first. We can enter once it's safe!"
"You're right. A team from a medium-sized kingdom pretending to be powerful—aren't they just courting death?"
Laughter echoed among the crowd, but their focus remained fixed on Bai Li Hongzhuang and the others. Once they entered, they would be able to determine the situation inside the ruins, allowing others to prepare mentally.
"Bai Li Hongzhuang and her group really treasure their lives!" Bai Li Haoxuan widened his eyes, still unable to suppress his relief that they hadn't charged forward earlier. It had saved his life.
