And those forces' actions couldn't possibly be kept a secret from Zhou Tian. As soon as those forces harbored such thoughts, Zhou Tian had already discerned some signs from their various performances. And towards the response of those forces, Zhou Tian didn't feel any surprise, because to him, it was only natural for those forces to react that way.
In fact, those forces were too weak. If it were Zhou Tian, he would probably have taken action with just a seventy to eighty percent certainty. After all, in Zhou Tian's view, the end result of such performances by these forces would definitely not be good. Thus, rather than letting the enemies clean up in the end, it would be better to take the initiative and strike first. If the action went smoothly, eliminating the threats by his side wouldn't mean that there would be no issues in the future, but at the very least, it could secure some extra time for development.
