The others, seeing the light gate vanished, were all stunned for a moment. They initially thought the light gate would last as long as it did when they came in. As a result, some hesitating people didn't even have a chance to react.

At this point, another disciple of the West Sea Sect murmured, "I... I also want to leave!"

Swipe!

A soft sound, a bright gate appeared in front of him instantly.

At this point, everyone was completely taken aback, a spine-chilling sensation rising from within everyone.

"I... I was just saying..." The disciple of the West Sea Sect backed away a couple of steps subconsciously.

No sooner had he spoken than a beam of light from the gate formed a sword and plunged directly into his chest. This disciple of the West Sea Sect, whose power had reached the peak of the Enlightening Heart Realm, held a high status within the sect.

However, he had no power to resist against the light gate sword and was directly pierced through the chest.

Afterward, the light sword dispersed into the air.

The disciple of the West Sea Sect weakly lowered his head, glanced at his own chest, and fell instantly on the spot. He didn't even make a sound before he died.

While it might have seemed like a long time, it all happened in the blink of an eye.

Many people didn't even clearly perceive what had happened before it was all over.

Chu Mo could only shake his head in regret, looking at the West Sea Sect disciple who had brought about his own undoing, not knowing what to say.

If an esteemed figure was really buried in this place, then someone who hadn't even reached the Foundation Establishment stage was not even worth compared to an ant. For such a person to jest about this, he was indeed seeking his own demise.

"Everyone, mind your words. This is the ruins," Chu Mo sighed after a moment of silence.

At this point, everyone else was terrified. They had witnessed death before, but none had been as unsettling as the recent one.

It was as if there was an incredible power, silent and observant, ready to claim their lives at any moment.

"Yes, let's not speak recklessly," Hua Sanniang sighed.

"In this place, we must maintain a reverent heart." He Feng said from the side.

Everyone else nodded in agreement.

As for the remaining disciples of the West Sea Sect, they stood there with a feeling of recklessness. Their dissatisfaction and fear had reached an unprecedented level; their comrades kept meeting untimely ends. Despite their insubordination being a contributing factor, they began to lose their rationality.

Thus, these disciples of West Sea Sect harbored animosity against Chu Mo. Unfortunately, they couldn't express these feelings, making them infuriated to no end.

At that moment, a figure emerged from the bright door of the entrance. This was the first person to emerge from the ruins.

Those who were stationed here were taken aback. The members of the Four Great Sects grew restless, assuming one of their comrades had emerged.

However, when Zhou Jun appeared, they realized they didn't recognize him. On the other hand, Zhao Qing, the leader of the West Sea Sect, and Zhou Jun's master Wang Tong both shouted joyously, "Jun'er!"

Wang Tong's voice was trembling. He rudely pushed through the crowd and rushed over, embracing Zhou Jun and struggling to hold back his tears.

He loved his disciple as a son. He was keenly aware of Zhou Jun's flaws but nonetheless adored the child he had raised.

He was extremely anxious about Zhou Jun entering the ruins, especially remembering Chu Mo's earlier warning. He felt an increasing sense of regret for letting Zhou Jun enter the ruins.

Seeing Zhou Jun emerge alive and being the first one to do so, Wang Tong felt substantially relieved. His elation was unparalleled!

Zhao Qing was also delighted. Over the past few days, he had communicated with the Four Great Sects and learned that the ruins were extremely dangerous. The claim 'nine deaths for one life' was not an exaggeration.

Zhao Qing had been extremely anxious, fearing that none of his disciples would emerge. If that had happened, the loss would have been severe!

The younger generation of the West Sea Sect would have been wiped out. It would take at least a hundred years to completely recover.

Thankfully, the result wasn't as disastrous as he had feared. At least one disciple had come out alive!

Zhao Qing's heart was filled with joy.

At this moment, a cold voice suddenly rang out, "Not bad, you came out alive. Now, let's tally up your loot from the ruins."

Wang Tong's face immediately fell, but he didn't dare to resist the Four Great Sects. He patted Zhou Jun's shoulder and sighed, "Jun'er, bring them out."

"Yes." Zhou Jun didn't put up much resistance and took out the rare ores and herbs he had obtained in the ruins.

Immediately, a large group of people gathered. All of their faces were filled with astonishment.

Some recognized a few of the ores and medicinal plants and couldn't help but exclaim.

"That seems to be iron ore..."

Iron ore is not the same as fine iron. Although they looked similar, they were worlds apart in value.

Fine iron was valuable, but even an advanced blacksmith could obtain it through forging. However, not even the world's top artifact forging masters could obtain iron ore through forging.

Adding a bit of iron ore during weapon forging could increase the quality of the weapon by at least one level!

This was indeed a treasure.

However, what surprised them more was yet to come.

"This seems to be copper ore!"

"This... is legendary fine silver?"

"Th-this... this is fine gold… Good heavens, I'm not seeing things, right? The ruins... actually contain something like this!"

Following that, exquisite medicinal plants were revealed.

Most people, including some renowned alchemists from the Four Great Sects, didn't recognize these plants. However, that did not prevent them from recognizing their value!

"These are all treasures… They are precious treasures! This medicinal plant...it has a scent similar to the Dragon's Return grass, but it's a thousand times better! This is unbelievable, the ruins... are a treasure trove!"

An older man was caressing his beard, expressing his astonishment. Yet his eyes were filled with greed.

The expressions of the others were not much different, including the elders of the Immortal and One Sword groups!

These items were invaluable treasures, they all wanted to keep all of them and forget about only taking three-tenths!(To be continued. If you liked this novel, please vote for it on qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. If you are reading on mobile, please visit m.qidian.com.)
