If Wang Mubai had intended to hide, detecting him would have been very difficult. Once he finished speaking, Dongfang Zhao's usually unflappable expression finally changed.
"I didn't expect he would actually reach this step, much faster than I anticipated—"
Taking a deep breath, he couldn't help but feel shocked. Although Dongfang Zhao had always known that Shen Changqing would one day grow to his current stature, he never expected the other party to have reached this point so soon. And—
Dongfang Zhao knew very well how strong Wang Mubai was. When Wang Mubai had just emerged from the Demon Sealing Tower, his strength not yet fully recovered, Dongfang Zhao himself could only barely suppress him. In other words, Dongfang Zhao was not absolutely confident he could suppress a Wang Mubai at his peak, unless he himself made another breakthrough. However, only he knew just how difficult it was to make another breakthrough at his current realm. This hinged on a specific opportunity.
