Three Pages-Jade Pool Arc (4)

Feeling the strength of the barrier, Wang Ye frowned even more deeply.

If the barrier had possessed this level of strength from the start, then even Wang Ye would have been unable to split it open. Lu Wu would never have had a chance to enter.

Unless...

The Three Pages had done this deliberately.
