However, Zhou Tian did not hide his footprints nor did he intentionally cut off the intelligence from those NPCs, which meant that he did not care at all about the resistance actions of those NPCs. Even under such circumstances, even if those NPCs had made sufficient preparations, if they really faced Zhou Tian, they would probably still be unable to change their inevitable defeat.
Because of his full confidence in his own strength, although Zhou Tian had made some preparations for the escape of those NPCs, he did not take their resistance seriously. So, even though Zhou Tian knew that those NPCs were actively preparing for war after receiving the message, he still advanced unhurriedly into the interior of the NPC Continent. Judging by his speed, although he did not deliberately slow down, his performance at that time had unknowingly given those NPCs some time to prepare.
