"If the Daoist friend insists on this, there is nothing we can do to stop you, but we hope you will not block the exit and prevent innocent people from leaving."
Li Zhirui turned and said to Water Clear and Yaihai, two True Lords, "We should also send a few disciples in to watch the portal, what do you two think?"
The two families, despite some discord between them, now exchanged a tacit glance and said, "That would be fine."
It was not hard to discern that the two families were using this situation to compete with each other. They also wanted to stay out of it and not get involved, but they still had many disciples inside the Secret Realm. If they truly couldn't leave, their losses would be enormous!
"Xiaoqing, Hugan, you two enter the Secret Realm."
