The disciples of the Lin and Xu families spared no longer their spiritual power, ceaselessly unleashing their most powerful martial techniques to bombard the barriers...
After attacking relentlessly for half an hour, these sturdy restrictions finally started to show signs of breaking and began spreading outwards...
Clearly, their being breached was only a matter of time!
Those disciples, who had expended much of their spiritual power, incredulously fixed their gazes on the barrier before them, gasping with frustration, "Damn it! What kind of restriction is this? Its defensive power is unbelievably terrifying!"
"Did the Wei Family disciples really set this up, or does it feel like we've fallen into their plot?"
"Yes! This restriction has held us off for half an hour, and it hasn't even been shattered. This definitely can't be something set by someone at the Earth Immortal Realm, right?"
Lin Mo's eyebrows were tightly knitted, as he clenched his teeth and said, "Who on earth set up this restriction? Could the Wei Family disciples really have managed to do this?"
He had thought that the restriction would crumble easily, but now it seemed painfully naive.
So many people had exhausted their spiritual power and still not managed to break it, clearly indicating the restriction's formidable strength!
Xu Peng, on the other hand, chided coldly, "Lin Mo, I told you earlier that there might be something wrong with this restriction. Do you regret not listening now?"
He had not understood before, but now he had figured it out!
This restriction couldn't have been set by the Wei Family disciples, but by the secret realm itself.
As for why they were trapped inside, they must have triggered some kind of trap!
And by doing this, they were essentially helping the Wei Family disciples to remove the restriction that bound them!
Lin Mo, the one being scolded, did not opt to remain silent but retorted coldly, "Shut up, do I need you to teach me how to handle things? Even if there is something wrong with the restriction, can our two great clans not wipe them out united?"
What he chose to do was not up for others to judge!
Xu Peng's face darkened a few shades, "You..."
But considering that the Lin and Xu families were currently allied, he forcefully suppressed the anger rising in his heart...
...
On the other side of the restriction, the Wei Family disciples seemed much more at ease...
"The disciples of the two great clans have been attacking for nearly half an hour now, and they still haven't broken through the restriction!"
"They've exhausted their spiritual power by now; I'm afraid they'll soon skulk away in defeat!"
"Then how are we going to get out? Though we've blocked the disciples of Lin and Xu clans, I don't want to spend my whole life here!"
"The restriction is starting to break, but to completely shatter it, we'd need to apply more effort. I wonder if the disciples of the two great clans will continue to persist!"
Xu Sheng's dark eyes watched the disciples of the Lin and Xu families, who had gradually ceased their attack...
He murmured, "They've sensed that something's amiss, but the goal has been achieved!"
The disciple standing beside him spoke up, "Brother Xu, the restriction is still intact, and the disciples of Lin and Xu have depleted their spiritual power. It's likely they will choose to leave!"
Anyone would realize by now that this restriction could not possibly be the work of the Wei Family disciples!
Xu Sheng gave him a glance and whispered back, "It's fine! The strength of the restriction has already been weakened to less than one-third of its original state."
Even if only the Wei Family disciples were to attack from within, there's a good chance it will break!
For now, we should wait and see what the Lin and Xu clans plan to do...
...
Outside the secret realm...
The people of Tianyuan City waiting nearby were constantly speculating, "I wonder which family will obtain the precious things from the secret realm, I really hope it ends soon!"
"Yes! Even if we can't get it, we can still feast our eyes!"
"I think it must be the Wei Family. With the Yan Family annihilated, their overall strength should be the strongest!"
"I disagree. The Lin Family and the Xu Family have immense foundations too, and neither is easy to provoke!"
The Lin Family Head's eyes sparked with a sharp light as he said with a light chuckle, "Patriarch Wei, Head of the Xu Family, since we're all so bored right now, how about we make a bet?"
The Xu Family Patriarch sounded slightly surprised as he said, "Oh? I think that's a good idea. What about you, Wei Family Patriarch?"
The Wei Family Patriarch became somewhat intrigued, his eyes narrowing as he asked, "What are we betting on?"
He was confident. If the Wei Family Disciples encountered those from the Lin Family or Xu Family alone, they would definitely defeat them, maybe even kill them!
The tone of the Lin Family Head suddenly turned cold as he began to speak with a smile, "We'll bet on how many of your Wei Family Disciples can make it back!"
Upon hearing this, the Wei Family Patriarch couldn't help but exclaim, "What??"
What did that mean? Had the Lin Family secretly manipulated something?
Ignoring his exclamation, the Lin Family Head continued to speak, "If I lose, I'll give one-third of the Lin Family's resources to your Wei Family. If I win, you will give up the resources you've swallowed from the Yan Family. How about it?"
Hearing this, the Wei Family Patriarch's face darkened...
It was clear that the Lin Family's target was the resources of the Yan Family, but to propose such a significant wager... was he that sure he could win?
After taking a deep breath, he glared at the Lin Family Head and said, "Your Lin Family wouldn't have done anything despicable in secret, right??"
The Lin Family Head laughed lightly, "Patriarch Wei, you can eat more but should not speak carelessly. In this Secret Realm, who can interfere?"
Of course, he hadn't played any tricks...
Could forming an alliance be called a trick?
The Xu Family Patriarch coughed and chimed in, "Cough cough, Patriarch Wei, I think the Lin Family Head has a point. This Secret Realm will not allow cultivators above the Earth Immortal Realm to enter. That is understood, no?"
After considering this carefully, the Wei Family Patriarch felt there was some reason in their words...
In a cold voice, he declared, "I... I'll take the bet!"
Without any tricks involved, he was confident in the Wei Family Disciples!
Seeing the fish bitten on the hook, the Lin Family Head's face broke into a cold smile, "Patriarch Wei is certainly straightforward. Then I'll bet that all the Wei Family Disciples will be wiped out."
The Xu Family Patriarch also spoke up from the other side, "Then my Xu Family will join the bet too, the same as the Lin Family Head. We're also betting on the Wei Family Disciples being completely annihilated!"
After speaking, the two of them even exchanged a secret glance...
The Wei Family Patriarch, who observed this scene, saw his pupils shrink violently...
There was only one thought in his mind!
He had been tricked!!!
They might not have played any dirty tricks, but...
That eye contact just now was a clear sign of some sort of cooperation!
It meant that the Lin Family and the Xu Family were very likely to join forces against his Wei Family!
No wonder they dared to bet a third of their entire family's resources!
Everything was calculated!
