Long Hong was acutely aware that the Chief of Staff and the Prime Minister's families might rebel; their continual loyalty could likely be attributed to the Guardian Family's influence.
He also knew that the King's authority and power might have some effect on the common folk and ministers, but in the face of the mighty ones in the Cultivation World, they could crush you with just one hand.
What Long Hong was even more concerned about was Ye Tian; he could no longer see clearly the extent of this Young General's abilities, not to mention his interest in the Supreme Elixirs.
Ye Tian was beyond the King's control; a Supreme Alchemist really was that powerful. The idea of enlisting him as the State Preceptor to solely concoct Supreme Elixirs for him was now impossible.
Even one or two Supreme Elixirs could enhance his own abilities and cultivation—surely that was better than having none at all?
