Ning Cheng moved swiftly through the Thunder Tower of the Heavenly Gate, though a twinge of regret surfaced in his heart. Perhaps he should not have outright rejected teaming up with Mo Zhou. Against someone like Mo Zhou, there was no such thing as an excessive strategy. He should have agreed to cooperate with Mo Zhou, only to turn around and join forces with Mo Zhou's opponent to eliminate him.
The unfortunate part was that Ning Cheng had no clue who Mo Zhou's adversary might be. Mo Zhou's evident caution toward them suggested they were formidable as well.
