Chapter 15569 Retreat
Just then, Zhao Hai's gaze was drawn to a group of Sima family members. This group appeared unremarkable, attacking alongside the rest of the Sima family without displaying any particular strength. However, Zhao Hai was captivated by them. The Sima family's Luoshui Illusion technique might fool others, but it couldn't fool Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai's strength far surpassed theirs, so he noticed these Sima family members. However, he remained silent, wanting to see how the Yantian Sphere would respond to such a sudden attack from the Sima family. After all, he was there; even if the Sima family managed to breach the Yantian Sphere, he... He wasn't worried about anything; he would just take action when the time came. Even if he didn't, it wouldn't matter. Even if the Sima family broke through the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall, there was still a huge magic array base behind it. The Sima family would have to break through this magic array base first. Zhao Hai didn't believe the Sima family could do it. If they could, Zhao Hai might as well just dismantle the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall and the magic array base. He knew that he had prepared the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall and the magic array base to be able to withstand the full force of the Divine Realm's attack, just like the Ten Thousand Divine Beast Bone Wall before. If they couldn't even withstand the Sima family, what was the point of keeping them?

Under Zhao Hai's watchful eye, the Sima family's group slowly approached the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall. They used magical artifacts to block the energy weapon attacks of the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall and gradually entered the attack range of the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall's Heavenly Vine.

Because the Ten Thousand Snakes Wall had not discovered their true strength, their attacks were the same as those against the other members of the Sima family. The Heavenly Vine was like a series of long spears, piercing straight towards them.

The Sima family members immediately blocked the attacks of the Heavenly Vine and advanced towards the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall. They were also prepared to deliver their strongest blow to the wall at any moment. However, they quickly realized that completely blocking the Heavenly Vine's attacks and directly reaching the wall was virtually impossible. There were simply too many Heavenly Vines, and they were incredibly agile; they couldn't block or dodge them. If they managed to block all the attacks, they would expose their strength, and the Heavenly Vine would intensify its attacks. If they didn't expose themselves, they simply couldn't withstand the Heavenly Vine's onslaught. This put the Sima family in a dilemma: either they retreated, keeping their strength hidden, or they exposed themselves and charged forward with all their might, breaking through the Heavenly Vine's attacks to reach the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall and breach it.

The Sima family was naturally unwilling to give up, so Sima Xiao was serious this time. With a flick of his hand, a long sword appeared in his grasp. He then swung the sword, unleashing a massive sword aura that slashed forward. This sword aura was enormous and incredibly powerful. With a single swing, all the Heavenly Vines blocking his path were reduced to ashes and vanished. The massive sword aura even struck the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall, leaving a huge sword mark. However, the massive sword aura failed to shatter the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall; its energy was quickly depleted. But Sima Xiao and his group seized the opportunity and charged forward. The Heavenly Vines in their path had all disappeared, reduced to ashes by his sword, creating a passage before them—a passage free of Heavenly Vines.

Zhao Hai witnessed this scene, but he didn't intervene. He simply stood there watching quietly. He knew the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall wasn't so easily breached; otherwise, he wouldn't have needed to build it. Sure enough, just as Sima Xiao and his group charged forward, countless Heavenly Vines suddenly attacked them once more. This time, all the Heavenly Vines shone with golden light, clearly enhanced. Moreover, these vines were all intertwined, transforming into enormous fists that slammed towards Sima Xiao and his group. At the same time, the spot on the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall where Sima Xiao's sword had left a mark was rapidly healing, completely restoring itself in just a few breaths. It was restored. Although the last bit of the sword wound was difficult to heal, the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall directly detached that section of the wall. While the walls had blocked Sima Xiao's sword strike, the power of law within his sword remained entangled in that section, like a leech, impossible to remove. The Ten Thousand Serpent Wall made the right decision, completely eliminating that section of wall. The remaining wall then began to grow rapidly, quickly restoring that section to normal. Then, the Heavenly Vine grew again, blocking the remaining section. By this time, the wall was completely restored, as if it had never been injured. All of this, though seemingly long, only took a few breaths. Meanwhile, Sima Xiao was still dealing with the attacks of the Heavenly Vine, which had transformed into fists.

Sima Xiao's sword struck the fist formed by the Heavenly Vines, but this time he found that the Heavenly Vines had become even harder. He could previously cut the Heavenly Vines into ashes with a single sword strike, but now his fist could only leave a sword mark on the Heavenly Vines. He could no longer cut the Heavenly Vines into ashes. In other words, his attack had actually been blocked by the Ten Thousand Snake Wall.

Sima Xiao's expression changed drastically. He hadn't expected that his attack would only leave a sword mark on the Tongtian Vine. He was a Royal Palace-level expert, and although he hadn't unleashed his full power, and this wasn't his strongest attack, it was still far stronger than an attack from an average Royal Chariot-level expert. Yet, this attack hadn't even destroyed the Tongtian Vine, only leaving a sword mark. This was already considered a successful block by the Tongtian Vine, because the vines were very long and thick when intertwined, like pillars. Leaving a sword mark on the vine had absolutely no effect on it, and it would quickly recover. Therefore, his attack had no impact on the Tongtian Vine, nor on the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall. Thus, Sima Xiao's attack was essentially a failure.

Faced with this situation, Sima Xiao's expression remained unchanged. He was now facing the Wall of Ten Thousand Snakes. He had only managed to leave a sword mark on one of the Heavenly Vines, but there were countless Heavenly Vines here. The Heavenly Vin that he had slashed with had retreated, but the others did not; they continued to attack Sima Xiao.

Sima Xiao let out a long roar, and the next moment he swung his sword. With this movement, a great river descended from the sky, rushing straight towards the Heavenly Vine. This great river was full of sword energy, and the water composed of this sword energy rushed straight towards the Heavenly Vine. The Heavenly Vine, which was blocking the way, was directly crushed by the water. In fact, it was completely shredded by the sword energy in the water. And this river continued to rush forward, heading straight towards the Ten Thousand Snake Wall.

Sima Xiao let out a long roar and charged towards the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall along with the river of sword energy. But at that moment, a giant vine made up of countless intertwined vines suddenly appeared, like a monstrous python emerging from its cave, and crashed into the river of sword energy. With a loud bang, the vine struck the river of sword energy and was shredded into pieces by the sword energy within it. At the same time, the sword energy within the river of sword energy was slowly being consumed.

Finally, the sword energy in the river of sword energy completely disappeared. At this moment, they were still quite a distance from the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall. However, countless Heavenly Vines attacked them from all directions. These Heavenly Vines flashed with golden light, moved extremely fast, and even shrieked as they attacked. This made Sima Xiao's expression change instantly, because he realized that these Heavenly Vines were even stronger than the ones he had faced before. Sima Xiao knew very well that it was almost impossible for him to rush to the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall and break through it. He immediately shouted, "Retreat!" After saying that, he swung his long sword once more, and in the next moment, countless sword energies slashed in all directions, blocking all the Heavenly Vines. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he led the rest of the Sima family to retreat, seeing that this attack was about to be futile.

At this moment, an elder of the Sima family shouted, "Grand Elder, let's take turns attacking!" After saying this, he also swung his long sword, and countless sword energies rushed forward. The other members of the Sima family did the same. After that person made a sword attack, they also attacked with a sword, one after another, so that their attack would not stop for a moment.

Although their attacks did not stop for a moment, they were facing the Heavenly Vines, which were more numerous and had become more powerful. The Heavenly Vines at the back were now radiating multicolored light, and the sword energy of the Sima family members could no longer leave a mark on them.

Upon seeing this situation, Sima Xiao knew that their attack was futile. He immediately shouted, "Retreat!" The other members of the Sima family also noticed this, and their expressions changed. They stopped talking about continuing the attack and instead followed Sima Xiao, retreating until they were out of the range of the Heavenly Vine's attack. Then Sima Xiao shouted, "Everyone, retreat!" He was speaking to the ordinary cultivators of the Sima family. Upon hearing Sima Xiao's order, the cultivators all breathed a sigh of relief and began to retreat. Their attack had made no progress and had instead caused them considerable losses. They had wanted to retreat for a long time, but because they had not received orders, they dared not retreat. After all, the family rules were there, and if they dared to retreat, the Sima family rules would not let them off the hook. So they could only grit their teeth and continue attacking. Now that they finally received orders, they naturally retreated immediately, not daring to delay for a moment.
