Worse, one careless mistake could end up aiding the enemy.
This wasn't to say that Ang Xiao and Lü Yang were any less cunning than True Monarch Gangxing. The crucial point was the vast disparity in their power.
To say nothing of anything else, as a Great Perfected Lord, if he had the slightest suspicion, he could effortlessly uncover Ang Xiao and Lü Yang's entire plot simply by invoking his Position or divining their karmic links. In the end, their grand scheme would not only fail but also cost them dearly.
Even the Veil of the Trees was useless against this.
