Upon seeing Xia Zhiqing's firsthand experience of the ancient ruins, alongside Bai Li Hongzhuang and the others, Yuan Xiaoman's mouth formed an "O" shape. It was simply unbelievable.
The ancient ruins were something that many cultivators could never see in their entire lives. Yet Xia Zhiqing and her team were able to explore them together. This was no ordinary stroke of luck.
Yuan Xiaoman and Yuan Zhixin exchanged a glance. Regardless, they were now part of the team.
"Zhiqing, tell me about your previous experience in the ancient ruins," Yuan Xiaoman leaned in close to Xia Zhiqing, genuinely curious about the ancient ruins.
If she could gain some experience from Xia Zhiqing, she would be more prepared when she entered the ancient ruins herself.
Seeing Yuan Xiaoman's great interest, Xia Zhiqing opened up and excitedly shared everything she had witnessed in the ancient ruins with her.
Gong Shaoqing and the others watched Xia Zhiqing and Yuan Xiaoman's excitement, a faint smile appearing in their eyes.
Interestingly, Xia Zhiqing and Yuan Xiaoman had very similar personalities, and they got along exceptionally well.
The tension that had built up due to the imminent opening of the ancient ruins seemed to diminish somewhat with Xia Zhiqing and Yuan Xiaoman's chattering.
...
Two days had passed, and Xia Zhiqing and her companions noticed that there were fewer and fewer cultivators in Wuguang City. Most had already headed to the location of the ancient ruins.
However, there were still some cultivators who had not set off.
"Let's go as well!" Bai Li Hongzhuang glanced at the ready group of people and spoke up.
"Alright!"
Everyone nodded. They believed that the ancient ruins would open tomorrow, and it was indeed time for them to set off.
As Bai Li Hongzhuang and her group departed, many other cultivators from Wuguang City also set off.
Those who set off at this time were usually cultivators who had some understanding of the ancient ruins. Otherwise, they wouldn't dare to wait until now.
Along the way, there were other teams around Bai Li Hongzhuang and her group. However, no one had any communication, all swiftly making their way to the location of the ruins.
In such a situation, no one had any intention of provoking others; they simply hoped to avoid unnecessary conflicts.
After all, the ancient ruins were the most important treasure.
When Bai Li Hongzhuang and her group arrived within the range of the ancient ruins, they were greeted by a sea of people. Looking around, the ground was filled with cultivators, all gazing toward the location of the ancient ruins.
Seeing such a grand scene, Xia Zhiqing couldn't help but exclaim, "There are so many people! It's truly astonishing."
Bai Li Hongzhuang looked at the bustling crowd and sighed, "Many cultivators participating in the assessment contest have gathered here. Almost half of them, I would say."
Gong Shaoqing furrowed his brow slightly. "Hongzhuang, with so many cultivators here, do you think Han Xileng and the others will also come?"
With those words from Gong Shaoqing, the expressions of Bai Li Hongzhuang and the others changed slightly.
For them, Han Xileng had always been a hidden danger. It would be best to resolve it sooner rather than later.
Bai Li Hongzhuang narrowed her phoenix eyes, her beautiful face showing a pensive look. "It's highly possible that Han Xileng will also appear here."
The allure of the ancient ruins was too great of a treasure. Once Han Xileng knew about it, he would definitely not miss the opportunity.
