Xiao Tianyang's source for the information should not have been wrong.
Last time, he had become acquainted with the upper-echelon powers of the Abyss Battlefield by giving them the [Core of Energy].
Ordinarily, Xiao Tianyang should not have had much contact with them.
However, paying a small price merely to gather intelligence was entirely acceptable.
As for joining forces to deal with Xiao Fa, that did not hold up either.
First, although the Void was the main force among the upper echelons, its faction was not particularly welcome.
The powers outside had not been born at Tier 9. They had needed continuous growth and accumulation to achieve their current standing.
In other words, they too had once suffered a Void Invasion.
Though they had clearly held it off in the end, the process could not have been pleasant.
Besides, if they sold the Void Will a favor... would it even accept?
Therefore, there was no possibility of Xiao Tianyang being deceived twice.
Second, Xiao Tianyang had conducted the transaction through the [Heavenly Dao Contract].
If they attempted any deception, the Heavenly Dao Will would be the first to react.
At the same time, there was no possibility of exploiting loopholes in the rules of the [Heavenly Dao Contract].
After all, Xiao Tianyang's attainments in that field had already surpassed his predecessors.
Moreover, throughout the Heavenly Dao Realm, he was the only one who could truly gain extensive access to the [Heavenly Dao Contract].
Of course, Xiao Tianyang still had to make the final decision on how to regard the intelligence from the Heavenly Tribulation Sect.
Before that, however, Xiao Tianyang was willing to hear the analysis of the entire court.
Among them, the opinions of Sun Wu, Zhang Liang, and Jia Xu were the most important.
