Wang Baole only had two choices—proceed or retreat!
If he chose to retreat, he would miss out on the eight-inch Spirit Root as he avoided the attacks from the six of them. However, this was also the goal of the six people, as they would never allow Wang Baole, who had interfered midway in the process, to snatch away the eight-inch Spirit Root right before their eyes.
Even if it was someone else and not Wang Baole, the six people would still have unleashed their wrath. They have been fighting intensely among themselves and categorically would not let other people succeed so easily!
However, if Wang Baole chose to proceed, he would have to showcase his incredible combat prowess in front of the six people who had collaborated against him.
