Chương 1180: Immortal Spirit

Hao Xuan felt his heart sink.

'I knew it. Not only did they use me but also made sure I would never be able to do much of anything with it in case I went rogue. But what is it exactly? Is the physique not complete?'

But despite the shocking revelation Hao Xuan did not let it show. It was of utmost importance that Dai Zhi thought that he still had the upper hand.

'I can't be too aggressive. If he sees me as a threat he won't talk. I need to give him something...'

Forcing a smile, Hao Xuan gave a slow and deliberate nod.

"Hmm, is that right? But what makes you so sure that I won't be able to break through to the next physique realm? Nothing is for certain."

Dai Zhi's brow furrowed lightly in doubt, "You don't know, do you?"

Hao Xuan allowed a crack to form in his confident demeanor as he kept up with the act.

"O-Of course I know! You think I would come to you if I didn't!?" he stuttered on purpose.
