Mu Zhixing was flattering himself by saying that he had yet to succeed.
How did this situation depict that?!
With his ability, even if he didn't encounter Zhou Shu, he would probably be slapped to death by Cao Chenyang if he wanted to stop the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom from invading this place.
Not to mention Cao Chenyang's main body, even if Cao Chenyang, whom a wisp of the main body's soul possessed, wouldn't find it difficult to kill Mu Zhixing.
With his ability, he wanted to stop the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom?
Dream on.
Did he think that Zhou Shu couldn't tell his goal?
There was a high chance that Mu Zhixing wanted to take advantage of the situation and get some benefits.
For example… The Freedom Transformation Technique!
After talking to Mu Zhixing for a while, Zhou Shu plundered all the resources from him before getting Yao Qing to escort him to mine.
