Chapter 1030: Chapter 1028: Seven Stars Ruins! Direct Disciples’ Cave Mansion (5 updates)

Lin Bai was particularly interested in this Seven Stars ruins.

It was mainly because it currently was the most suitable place for Lin Bai to cultivate.

This place was once a Cave Mansion of a direct disciple of the Red Immortal Sect, and also an Alchemist’s, so inside there must still be many precious Elixir Pills that haven’t decayed. If Lin Bai could obtain them, then his Cultivation would definitely grow rapidly.

Furthermore, the Demon Clan had already taken notice of this location—even a Great Demon had gone there, which meant other strong ones from the Demon Clan must have come to the Seven Stars ruins as well.

And Lin Bai, at this moment, needed a lot of Demon Blood from powerful members of the Demon Clan for his cultivation.

For Lin Bai, this place was a win-win, whether it was for slaying members of the Demon Clan to seize Demon Blood for cultivation, or to explore the ruins in search of rare Elixir Pills for his practice.

"This Seven Stars ruins is quite good," he said.

Lin Bai stood before the Seven Stars ruins and contemplated for a long time, not moving away.

Because Lin Bai no longer wanted to leave, he inwardly yearned to enter the Seven Stars ruins.

Firstly, the Seven Stars ruins had just been discovered ten days ago. The Demon Clan and the Five Peaks hadn’t had time to take all the Treasures away, meaning there were still a lot left inside.

Secondly, there were numerous members of the Demon Clan congregating here, and Lin Bai could slay them to steal their Demon Blood for his cultivation.

Thirdly, with Lin Bai’s current strength at the Third Level of the Earth Elixir Realm and if he played all his trump cards, he could even slay warriors of the Sixth Level of the Earth Elixir Realm, making this a perfect place for him to brave.

Fourthly, those Four Stars and Five Stars ruins, either had been discovered long ago with most Treasures taken away or had no chance to offer, not a big help for Lin Bai.

Only this Seven Stars ruins was the most suitable place for Lin Bai to experience now.

"Lin Bai?"

Just at that moment, a woman’s voice came from beside Lin Bai.

Lin Bai looked over curiously and smiled, "Ruohan, I didn’t expect to meet you here! Senior Brother Ye is here too."

Lin Bai looked up and saw Jian Ruohan and Yejian Qiu walking over.

By Jian Ruohan’s side, Lin Bai also saw several other young men and women.

"I was going to call you just now, but I thought you’ve been too tired lately, so I didn’t. Why don’t you rest a bit more? The Heroes List has just ended; you should take a good rest," Jian Ruohan said lightly.

"It’s alright. I’ve just arrived at the Five Peaks and also wanted to take a look at the Red Immortal Sect’s battlefield, out of necessity," Lin Bai replied with a smile.

"Brother Lin, with you working so hard, aren’t you leaving no room for us disciples to survive?" Yejian Qiu joked.

Lin Bai touched his nose with an embarrassed smile.

"Senior Brother Yejian Qiu, Senior Sister Jian Ruohan, who is this person?"

At this time, the Man in Purple Robe standing next to Jian Ruohan and Yejian Qiu asked in confusion.

This Man in Purple Robe had an arrogant expression and radiated a terrifying aura of strength from his body.

Lin Bai almost immediately judged that this person must be a warrior above the Sixth Level of the Earth Elixir Realm.

Jian Ruohan said, "His name is Lin Bai, he’s also a disciple of the Sword Art Academy, and moreover, he’s the first-ranked individual on the Heroes List this year."

"Lin Bai, this is a Senior Brother from our Sword Art Academy, Dou Ning!"

Jian Ruohan introduced.

Lin Bai greeted with a mild smile, "Lin Bai has seen Senior Brother Dou!"

"The first on the Heroes List? Heh, it’s not that great, the Heroes List’s credibility has always been low." The Man in Purple Robe laughed, "The warriors from previous years’ Heroes List who came to the Five Peaks, thinking they ranked high and were very strong, ended up dying within seven days of entering the Five Peaks."

"On the other hand, those of us who were previously obscure disciples in the Nine Courtyards managed to live longer after entering the Five Peaks."

"People, once standing at a certain height, upon arriving in a new place, must put down their status and reacquaint themselves with the world," Dou Ning said with a cold smile.

"Senior Brother’s lesson is well-taken," Lin Bai said with a faint smile.

Although Lin Bai answered with a smile, from Dou Ning’s words, it seemed there was a disdain for Lin Bai.

From Dou Ning’s words, Lin Bai could tell that this Dou Ning was just an ordinary disciple within the Sword Art Academy, at best a warrior on the Sword List, but he was not qualified to be on the Heroes List.

So, Dou Ning didn’t have much fondness for the warriors on the Heroes List, he even felt a bit of jealousy.

However, Lin Bai didn’t mind, nor did he become arrogant just because he was ranked first on the Heroes List.

If Dugu Yun hadn’t been pushed into a desperate situation by Murong Hai, if Lin Bai hadn’t previously promised Pei Ji to win first place on the Heroes List for the Sword Art Academy, Lin Bai might not have participated in it at all.

After all, Lin Bai’s only purpose in coming to the Miracle Ridge was to become the Five Pinnacle Saint!

"Lin Bai, Senior Brother Dou Ning, Yejian Qiu and a few other seniors from the Sword Art Academy are planning to train in a Four-Star ruins. Would you like to join us?"

Jian Ruohan asked softly, "This Four-Star ruins is the Cave Mansion of an Elder of the Outer Sect of the Red Immortal Sect, which also contains great opportunities, and it was discovered just five months ago. Many people perished in this Mansion, hence the danger level is ranked at four stars!"

"If you join us, together we might be able to find some treasures inside."

Jian Ruohan asked with a smile.

"Yeah, Brother Lin, we came here together after all. If we join forces, there shouldn’t be too much danger inside the Four-Star ruins," Yejian Qiu also suggested.

"Four-Star ruins..." Upon hearing this, Lin Bai fell into thought.

"What? Do you have other plans?" Jian Ruohan asked curiously.

Lin Bai smiled and said, "Ruohan, to be honest, I have already decided to explore the Seven Stars ruins."

Upon hearing this, Jian Ruohan said, "Is it the mansion of the Direct Disciple that was discovered just ten days ago?"

"Yes," Lin Bai replied with a light smile and a nod.

Upon hearing this, a cold expression appeared on Jian Ruohan’s face.

Yejian Qiu said, "Brother Lin, that ruin is too dangerous. The Seven Stars ruins are not something we can explore at the moment."

"Heh, that’s what I thought. The warriors from the Five Peaks who came to the Heroes List all think highly of themselves, believing they are strong enough to explore high-level ruins."

"You’re no different from the other warriors on the Heroes List, but they all ended up dead. Heh, it seems that soon I’ll be arranging your funeral," Dou Ning said with a scornful look in his eyes and a snort.

Upon hearing this, Lin Bai’s face also showed displeasure from Dou Ning’s barbed words.

"How do you figure I will die?" Lin Bai asked with a light chuckle, smiling back at Dou Ning.

"Heh, do I even need to say it? The mansion of the Direct Disciple was just discovered ten days ago. Inside, not only are there various Magic Circles and powerful Puppets, but there are also powerhouses from the Miracle Ridge and the Demon Clan search for opportunities!"

"Even the Great Demons from the Thirty-Six Hills of the Demon Clan have gone there in no less than seven, and the Miracle Ridge has also dispatched nine Spiritual Children to this ruin!"

"Do you think you, a warrior at the third level of the Earth Elixir Realm, are qualified to snatch treasures from the hands of these Great Demons and Spiritual Children?"

"If you go to this ruin, not only will you return without accomplishment, but you may also perish within. Your chances of survival don’t even exceed ten percent!"

"I’ve seen too many of you from the Five Peaks on the Heroes List who overestimate themselves, and none of them ended well," Dou Ning said with a sneer.

"Senior Brother is right, but Lin Mou has never taken the Heroes List seriously. Initially, my participation was only because I had promised the Dean and Elder Pei Ji," Lin Bai responded.

"As for my ranking on the Heroes List, it’s either here or not for me!"

"However, I joined casually once and easily secured the first place on the Heroes List, which is still better than certain people who didn’t even qualify for it," Lin Bai said with a disdainful smile.

"Who are you saying doesn’t qualify for the Heroes List!" Dou Ning was immediately enraged upon hearing this and glared at Lin Bai.

As Lin Bai said, when Dou Ning was at the Sword Art Academy, he was just barely placed 98th on the Sword List. He wanted to challenge the Heroes List, but in the end, it amounted to nothing!

"I was just speaking off the cuff. Senior Brother, please don’t take it personally, hahaha." Lin Bai laughed heartily, "I have some things to do, so I must take my leave."

"Ruohan, Brother Ye, take care in the ruins," Lin Bai cautioned Jian Ruohan and Yejian Qiu before turning to leave.

Watching Lin Bai leave, Dou Ning sneered, "Go ahead, you foolhardy fool. Not even I with my sixth level of the Earth Elixir Realm cultivation would dare to venture into the Seven Stars ruins, hmph, I’ll be waiting to see you return in a sorry state!"

Dou Ning said angrily.

When Dou Ning uttered those words, a flicker of cold light and... killing intent, passed through Jian Ruohan’s eyes on the side.
