Lin Mu didn't know for sure what he was about to do would work or not, but he knew this was the only option for now. Xukong was also watching Lin Mu, spatial energy swirling around him.
He didn't tell Lin Mu, but he was always ready to act in case anything happened. So far he had only acted once against Gu Yao, but that had put him back two years in his progress.

"Wonder what thing you will be…" Xukong said.
