Those who were stopped were furious and even launched an attack, trying to break down the city wall and forcibly breach the barrier.
"Bang..."
"Whoosh..."
However, without exception, they were all bounced back, and before they could even scream, they were instantly burned to ashes.
"hiss!"
The scene stunned the other cultivators who shared the same thoughts, and they felt a chill run down their spines.
Those old men, even the weakest of whom possessed the strength of a king, were killed and vanished with just one strike!
Just what kind of terrifying existence is this Saint-level ruin?!
Having learned from the example of those cultivators who turned to ashes, the other older cultivators who were eliminated also accepted their fate. Some left dejectedly, while others waited nearby, intending to hunt down some of the disciples who had received the inheritance and reap the benefits.
Soon, all the eligible cultivators entered the ruins.
There are a total of four gates. The other gates are fine, but it takes some time to travel. However, the cultivators who enter through the East Gate and South Gate are the closest to the inheritance site and go directly to the central area.
"It's the Hall of Inheritance!"
Upon seeing the inheritance halls, the cultivators who had thought themselves the first to enter all rushed forward excitedly. "Haha, we were right! The central inheritance hall is in the southeast!"
However, halfway there, they were shocked to find that the place had already been taken.
"How could it be so fast?"
The cultivators who were stopped outside were all completely bewildered. "We clearly didn't see anyone coming!"
"Damn it, which little brat moved so fast!"
"How come there are people here now!"
"This doesn't make sense! We clearly didn't see anyone just now!"
"..."
Soon, angry curses also came from other inheritance halls nearby.
"That's a bit strange!"
The newly arrived cultivators were astonished to find that almost all the relatively high-level inheritance halls outside the Imperial Palace had been occupied!
This situation is bizarrely unbelievable.
They never imagined that someone had already taken over before they even arrived.
Finally, those who couldn't find the Hall of Inheritance in the central area could only gradually move towards the outskirts in search of an opportunity.
Even the smallest inheritance hall offers unimaginable benefits.
As for the imperial palace, it wasn't that they didn't want to go in, but rather that they simply couldn't get in.
The gate was tightly shut, and no matter what they tried, they couldn't elicit any response from it. Later, some people speculated that someone inside the imperial palace was undergoing a trial and couldn't enter for the time being.
Some arrogant people thought that the people inside wouldn't stay long before being kicked out, so they chose to wait outside.
Some people, fearing that the inheritance would be completely snatched up, left decisively despite their resentment.
Others came from small, weak families. They knew they couldn't compete with the scions of powerful clans, so they wisely gave up the chance to inherit the family fortune and turned their attention to the various treasures within the ruins. However, they were shocked to find that the treasure trove, which seemed to be the richest, centered around the imperial palace, had been mostly looted.
Completely baffled, the cultivators could only curse and then continue their search elsewhere.
The culprits behind this looting of various treasure vaults were naturally the treasure-hunting team led by Shi Wuxie.
