Entering the Ancient Ruins, Zhou Chuan would not return to the Heavenly Sword Sect unless he could find the Heavenly Soul Grass. He had offended far too many people; if he returned from the Ancient Ruins having failed, he would have already lost any value, and it didn't take a genius to figure out what the consequences would be.
He did intend to save Lu Yao, but if he couldn't even protect his own life, how could he save anyone else? The crucial point was to break through to the Nascent Soul stage. Once he reached Nascent Soul, not only would he gain an extra life, but his strength would also undergo a qualitative leap.
Since this was a path of no return, he was going to take everything he possibly could and loot the place blind.
