Bai Lian couldn't help but wonder about how her elder sister managed to deal with people like this all day. Unlike her, she really wasn't good handling clowns like these.

She just hoped that he wouldn't say anything more, or she might really lash out at him. Suddenly, she felt spiritual sense and looked up.

Zhao Lei looked too as he felt the same. Another Soul Sea realm cultivator had arrived at the ruin, and he was a cultivator of the Crimson Flame Palace—someone he knew. "Should we stop him from coming here?"

Bai Lian sighed inwardly and shook her head. "I don't think that will be a good idea. We don't know if we will get enough cultivators to enter the ruin, and these are just outer-area ruins. They might not contain much valuable resources."

She didn't want to be part of any kind of stupid conflict unless they had to fight for the resources. The Skycloud Auction Pavilion had branches in the Southern Region too.

Unlike these two sects, which didn't mind conflicts of this type, she had to be careful not to sour relationships with both of these sects. In the end, she wasn't just a normal member of the Bai clan. Her actions might affect the reputation of the auction house.

If it was a fight for the resources, then she wouldn't back off. It's not like she was low on resources—she got more than enough—but those weren't earned by herself.

For how long would she depend on her family and sister's help? She had to come out and experience hardships. This was the reason why, even though her sister was against her coming to this inheritance site, she came.

The disciple of the Crimson Flame Palace frowned a little but still landed in the clearing where the ruin was located.

Zhao Lei smiled. "Welcome, Zeng Rong. I thought you might have died last time."

"Hump! Don't worry. I wouldn't visit hell without you welcoming me there..." Zeng Rong snorted and looked at Bai Lian. "Sister Bai, what a pleasant surprise. You haven't visited the Southern Region for a while."

Bai Lian smiled externally. "Indeed, I was a little busy." Just like the Eastern Region, their auction house did a mega auction in the Southern Region too. On this day, her sister visited the Southern Region. She had gone a few times with her just to see the Southern Region; now she didn't go.

"Ohh well, so how many cultivators do we need to enter this ruin?" Zeng Rong asked Zhao Lei.

Zhao Lei got stumped as he totally forgot to ask that. He was too engrossed talking with Bai Lian.

When Zeng Rong saw his expression, he snorted. "Tch! As expected"

"Six," Bai Lian said. She had already seen the requirements written on top of a small pillar beside the entrance.

"I see. Let's hope some talented disciples like us break through early and come to this ruin..." Zhao Lei's voice was as calm as possible, but both Bai Lian and Zeng Rong could feel that he was being proud of himself.

Zeng Rong snickered. "You are talented? Thank you for enlightening me... tsk."

Zhao Lei didn't respond as he was looking at an approaching black dot in the sky. Looking at his expression, others also looked towards the incoming dot, which eventually revealed itself to be a cultivator.

Bai Lian frowned as she had seen this guy before.

"Am I seeing things, or is he really a late-stage Core Formation Realm?" Zhao Lei asked with an amused tone.

"He really is a late-stage cultivator. Why is he coming from the outer area..." Zeng Rong stated back. He was even thinking of striking the cultivator but held back because of his image in front of Bai Lian.

Zhao Lei was thinking the same. It wouldn't look good to fight against a weak cultivator if they didn't go overboard.

Lin Feng, who had just arrived at the ruin, looked at the three cultivators standing in front of its entrance.

He had met the woman before, and he had seen the disciple of the Yin Yang Harmony Sect before. This disciple was a friend of one of the alchemists who used to sell pills in the square, so he visited the square a lot of times.

Lin Feng didn't care if they attacked or not, he landed a little farther than them near the pillar. He could see from above that there was something written on it, so he went there directly.

Zhao Lei and Zeng Rong couldn't believe his audacity. How dare a low-realm cultivator ignore them blatantly like this?

Bai Lian just observed calmly. She didn't know what this hidden cultivator was trying to do. First, he entered the area where he could have been easily killed. If he had met someone else other than her, then he would have been dead already.

Seeing him alive was a little surprising. Maybe he had found an unoccupied cave by luck and stayed there. Nonetheless, coming to a ruin was a big mistake. Was this guy really suicidal, or did he not know how cruel the world was?

Lin Feng was unaware of what others were thinking. Even if he had known, he wouldn't have cared. No one could attack him here anyway, although he would have preferred if they could. He calmly read the information written on the pillar.

'Minimum Six Cultivators are required to stand in front of the entrance to open the gate of the ruin. Once the ruin is opened, it will stay open for 30 breaths of time for everyone to enter.'

So, basically, you could only enter in 30 breaths of time, or probably before the test to enter the ruin had started.

This was definitely a way to protect those who had entered first and were exhausted after clearing the test. Otherwise, many cultivators would have waited before entering to reap the rewards.

All in all, everything was fair in this inheritance site. Most inheritance sites didn't have even safe zones, much less this organized structure.

He turned around and, without paying any attention to the other three, sat down beside the entrance lazily.

Zhao Lei and Zeng Rong got more enraged seeing this.
