Ji Wuming's expression turned cold as he looked at Zhao Hai, who was sitting in the middle of the formation. He had not lied to Zhao Hai earlier. Elder Tang was indeed unable to save Zhao Hai. However, he was not being held back by anyone. Instead, he was being held down by them. Elder Tang had been held down by them before he could even react. Just as Zhao Hai had expected, they did not dare to do anything to elder Tang now. Otherwise, the life and death arena would begin its revenge. At that time, the underworld would be able to find their own comrades. If the underworld and the life and death Ring were to truly join forces, they would not be able to withstand it.
The five families had no intention of getting involved. They did have an agreement to not interfere in the internal affairs of the void realm. Ji Wuming took advantage of this to keep the five families out of the way.
