Conflict, expose each other’s scars

"Ji Daier, even if I'm bringing trouble upon myself, so what? There have been many who have fallen in front of Han Xiling, but besides you, no one else has been defeated by a Miss from a General's Manor."

Yan Lingxuan had been fond of Han Xiling for a long time, and although he knew that Han Xiling liked Di Beichen, he still held a slight longing for his goddess.

Now, with Ji Daier saying such things in front of everyone, he felt that his dignity was being trampled upon, so he became even more impolite in his words.

Ji Daier hadn't expected Yan Lingxuan to say such things, and for a moment, she was taken aback.

"Yan Lingxuan, don't go too far!"

Ji Daier stood up, looking at Yan Lingxuan with a stern gaze. The fact that she had been defeated by Baili Hongzhuang was already a sore point for her, and now Yan Lingxuan was bringing it up again, which was truly despicable!

"So what if I go too far?"

Yan Lingxuan didn't back down. Ji Daier had never bothered him before, but now she wanted to pick a fight with him, so naturally, he wouldn't be afraid!

Tensions rose between Ji Daier and Yan Lingxuan!

Neither Ji Daier nor Yan Lingxuan was willing to back down, and it seemed that a conflict was about to break out.

Baili Hongzhuang sat down next to Di Beichen, who was resting with his eyes closed. He had been tense for several days, and now that he relaxed, he appeared quite exhausted.

Han Xiling provocatively glanced at Baili Hongzhuang. The men pursuing her outnumbered and outclassed Baili Hongzhuang by far.

Baili Hongzhuang's lips curled up in a faint smile. Such things might be considered impressive assets for other women, but she didn't feel the slightest bit affected by it.

"I don't know why Han Xiling is so proud. Our master is also pursued by many people, you know?" Xia Hei crossed his arms and expressed his indignation on his face.

Xiao Bai shook his head. "Let her be arrogant. Di Beichen being with our master has already infuriated her."

Hearing Xiao Bai's words, Xia Hei nodded. "That's true. In that case, I'm not angry anymore."

The cultivators continued to gaze at the stone door, refusing to give up. This treasure within the ruins was their greatest hope, and it was impossible for them to simply abandon it.

Just seeing Baili Hongzhuang's gains had already made them envious. Moreover, Baili Hongzhuang's gains were only a part of the ruins, and the most important part of the ruins had yet to appear.

"This ruins are really strange! There doesn't seem to be any mechanism at all on this stone door!"

"Who knows what the owner of this ruin was thinking? There's no mechanism on the stone door at all. In my opinion, why don't we just force it open with brute strength!"

After exploring for a long time and finding no success, some cultivators became frustrated. Since clever methods didn't work, they could only resort to brute force.

"That idea might not work either. We've already tried before, but this stone door is indestructible. With our strength, we can't break it!"

Everyone's faces were filled with frustration. They had thought that finding the ruins was a stroke of luck, but now they were trapped outside the main door.

The feeling of standing in front of untold treasures yet being unable to reach them was maddening.

"Teacher, if we don't open the door to this chamber, can we still leave this place safely?" Xia Zhiqing asked.

At this point, she had lost confidence in opening the stone door, and as long as they could leave safely, it would be considered a success.
