After the battle, the ruins returned to its peaceful state. As for the humans who had fallen under the claws and fangs of the spiritual beasts, no one paid much attention to them. They simply stepped over their corpses and continued on their way.
At this moment, powerful auras were being emitted from the long corridor of the ruins. However, the powerful spiritual beasts who had been hiding behind the scenes did not charge out. Instead, they were searching the humans' bodies as if they were searching for something.
When their search proved fruitless, the spiritual beasts withdrew their auras and allowed the humans to walk through the long corridor.
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. It was a good thing that they had obeyed Elder Yun's orders and did not pick up the treasures. Otherwise, the spiritual beasts who had been hiding would certainly attack them again!
"I never thought that after so many years, humans would finally make their way here."
Suddenly, a soft sigh which seemed to have come from ancient times rang out. It fell into the silent ruins and crashed into everyone's hearts.
The crowd quickly drew their weapons and swept their vigilant eyes across their surroundings! They wanted to find the source of the voice.
However, they could see all the way to the end of the corridor and they could not find the source of the voice.
"There's no need to look for me, I'm only a remnant of my consciousness. You will never be able to find me." The voice rang out once again. It was as faint as ever, like the clouds and mist, making it impossible to catch. "However, there's only one inheritance and I can't guarantee that everyone's bodies will be suitable for my inheritance. However, one thing is certain, only one person will receive the inheritance! Have you decided who will receive it? "
Elder Mei's eyes narrowed as a light flashed in her eyes. "Elder Yun, let me have the inheritance. Once we return to the Charm Sect, I will give you my spiritual weapon."
Elder Yun nodded. As long as the inheritance was in the Charm Sect's hands, it did not matter who it was given to!
"Now, we'll have to deal with the others!" Elder Mei laughed icily as she turned her gaze towards the crowd. Her greedy face was now on full display. "The inheritance will belong to the Charm Sect. If you're willing to give it up, perhaps you'll be able to keep your lives!"
Give it up?
It was truly laughable.
They had gone through untold hardships and suffered great losses to reach this point. How could they be willing to return empty-handed?
Therefore, they had to obtain the inheritance, even if it meant risking their lives!
"I think that we should get rid of the members of Wind Valley first. Even though they aren't that powerful, they still have two early-stage exceptional state cultivators. If they were to take advantage of the fact that both sides are heavily injured to reap the benefits without doing anything, I'm afraid that the losses would outweigh the gains."
Among the crowd, a cultivator took the lead to say this, immediately attracting a group of voices in agreement.
It was obvious that they were extremely annoyed with Gu Ruoyun and would definitely deal with her at a time like this.
So what if the man in black had helped her before? Under such circumstances, who wouldn't fight for the inheritance? The black-robed man must have come here for the inheritance as well. Hence, this time, he would never attack for Gu Ruoyun's sake!
"Courting death!"
Puchi!
Just as the cultivator finished speaking, a cold voice rang out in his ear. He stared blankly for a moment, not understanding when this black clothed man had appeared beside him.
While he was still in a daze, a squelching sound could be heard as a hand reached into his chest. His entire body trembled, and his eyes were filled with terror.
