Hearing Zhao Ji's words, Qiu Tu was startled for a moment.
Although he often strategizes behind the scenes, he is not a divine being capable of foreseeing the future.
Therefore, he really didn't know about what Zhao Ji had mentioned....
The reason he was certain that Shen Lingshuang was not the "Mountain Root" nor the special Cataclysmic Material sought by Muye was because of his precise understanding of human nature.
Just as he had analyzed to Zhao Ji: if Shen Lingshuang really was the "Mountain Root," the special Cataclysmic Material, why didn't Muye just quietly kidnap her?
Isn't it better to quietly make a huge fortune in silence?
After all, even if Qiu Tu is strong, he would not be a match for a Peak Fifth Rank Great Evil God.
And now, he had first made a deal with Dongye State, and then descended in person, attacking Eastern City. It's almost like he's using a loudspeaker above Qiu Tu's head, telling everyone that the "Mountain Root" is by Qiu Tu's side.
