Just as Jared awaited his impending death, the pressure on him suddenly eased. Immediately afterward, the giant palmprint atop him also. gradually vanished. A figure stood beside Jared with his hands thrust forward, resisting the enormous palmprint with all his might.
“Mr. Chance, are you all right?” At that moment, Archer and Skyler helped Jared to his feet, and the man holding out against the giant palmprint was none other than Matthew from Luminous Sect.
“Mr. Campbell, thank you,” Jared expressed his gratitude upon taking in that scene. Matthew withdrew his aura and said, “You’re too courteous, Mr. Chance. I didn’t expect you to have entered this place as well.”
“Matthew, are you going to openly oppose Flying Star Sect for this brat?” Wrey’s voice carried a cold undertone as he addressed Matthew, “Anyone who tries to harm Mr. Chance is ant enemy of Luminous Sect,” the latter replied firmly.
Just then, dozens of people from the hidden realm’s nine sects rushed over from various directions. However, many sects had no grudge against Jared, so they harbored no hostility toward him.
Although they didn’t regard Jared with enmity, that didn’t mean they would lend a helping hand to rescue him. Those people stood on the side, quietly watching the standoff between Matthew and Wrey.
Considering their strengths, Luminous Sect was inferior to Flying Star Sect, but Wrey wasn’t inclined to clash with Luminous Sect at that instant. If they both suffered devastating losses, it would be difficult for them to stake a claim in the secret realm.
Despite the usual harmonious coexistence of the sects on the front, the balance was actually backed by their relatively equal strength. However, if one party were significantly weakened, it wouldn’t take long for the other sects to swallow it up.
