Those who went in first were simply testing the traps for others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, that didn't mean they'd sit back and waste time either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They would enter eventually—but there was no need to be reckless from the start and waste their energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Argh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is this?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And of course, there were always those fools who didn't believe the warning—that the formation would reject anyone older than thirty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some didn't trust Grandmaster Huang's words and tried to sneak inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They paid for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The unlucky ones were crushed under the pressure of the formation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"lucky\" ones had their cultivation severely damaged—some even destroyed completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I told you!
