Invincible from Seeing the BOSS's Health Bar

Upon hearing the news of the Second Prince’s arrival, everyone couldn’t help but widen their eyes, thinking they had misheard.

Because the Second Prince, whether before his disappearance or after returning to the capital, never showed the slightest interest in court affairs, so why this time...

Some people couldn’t help but look at each other in confusion.

However, when everyone saw two people respectfully carrying a tray from the doorway, they were momentarily dumbfounded.

Because the one who came was not the Second Prince.

It was...

The two people carried a tray on which rested a folded paper eye, crafted from red paper.

The eye was not vividly real. If it weren’t for the fact that the paper eye was floating in mid-air along with the tray, no one would have even glanced at it.

Undoubtedly, this red paper eye was being used by the Second Prince to watch over everything in the court.

”...”

Once the people realized what it was, they collected their emotions and adjusted their posture.

”Greetings to the Second Prince!”

Facing the folded paper eye, Lord Jing respectfully saluted, taking the lead in expressing allegiance.

Others quickly followed suit.

In an instant, voices echoed throughout the court.

But the paper eye didn’t even glance at them, nor did it utter a sound; it simply slowly closed as if resting.

No one dared to express an opinion, even the leaders of the Eight Veins standing in the court respectfully acknowledged the Second Prince’s paper eye, and others dared not speak up, even holding their breaths cautiously.

As for the dragon throne before them, representing the Holy Emperor, it remained empty, his figure unseen.

For the civil and military officials in the court, this had become a norm.

They still recalled the early days of the Great Xia’s historical records, when the Holy Emperor had just ascended the throne, concerned with national affairs, expanding the kingdom.

Eradicating corrupt officials at the top, encouraging labor among the people below, reshaping the official roads across the nation, and purging neighboring demons near the cities.

One by one, these deeds were monumental achievements that left a profound mark in the annals of history.

Yet, with the rise of the Da Xia Dynasty, vile ministers and petty men resurged with the wind, plunging the court inside and out into a miasma of chaos.

Moreover, as the Holy Emperor focused on self-cultivation and internal conservation, gradually emphasizing internal refinement, he relinquished more control over court matters, leading to incessant quarrels among the court factions.

Various Noble Consorts of the harem entered the palace during this period, further disrupting court politics and distracting the Holy Emperor.

Fortunately, at this moment, right now, is another pivotal moment of ascendancy for the Da Xia Dynasty!

The balancing among the Eight Veins factions has now reached a state of equilibrium, each minding their own plots without significant conflicts of interest, resulting in almost no violent clashes.

Moreover, the policy of granting power by the Holy Emperor and training subordinates has started to show initial success, allowing the Eight Veins to maintain order in the Imperial City and peace across the land even without the Emperor’s inspection.

The grand era of Da Xia is about to be revitalized under the guidance of the Eight Veins!

So, they did not find anything inappropriate about the Emperor’s absence.

But without a doubt, the one who convened this reception meeting was surely the Emperor, yet he called everyone here but didn’t show up himself, leaving many pondering without finding an answer.

”Demon Capital Envoy—Green Demon Envoy, arrive!”

As the sound came from outside the door, everyone couldn’t help but turn to look.

They saw a tall and slender young man with a captivatingly dangerous aura of long hair stride into the court!

Following him was an old man with a long beard, accompanying him like an attendant, who was also... a demon!

”Is that the Demon Capital Envoy?”

”Both of them put on human skins... I can’t tell whether they respect us or disrespect us!”

”Humph! If they’re not of our kind, their hearts must differ!”

In this place, no one liked demons.

At least, no one liked the demons standing blatantly in the hall, as if claiming this place as their own territory.

After all, the demons many had seen before were the kind crouching on the ground, bowing down to them, not such wild creatures.

”Audacious demon! How dare you not kneel upon entering the hall!”

The first to challenge them was the eunuch from the Tianji Pavilion.

The shrill voice sounded uncomfortable to many, prompting them to shift their gaze.

It was none other than Mr. Xu, the Eldest Godson beside the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master, who spoke.

The Pavilion Master, having grown old, had passed the handling of major and minor matters to his godsons, having reached a semi-retired state similar to Lord He Jing.

However, due to its unique role in the court, even without the Pavilion Master, the Tianji Pavilion remained quite active, needing only minimal intervention from the seniors to successfully settle most issues.

At this moment, Mr. Xu’s stance represented the intentions of the Tianji Pavilion and echoed the sentiments of many present.

Within the Imperial Palace of the Da Xia Dynasty, mere Demon Envoys should be grateful just to step through the door, and yet they showed such disregard for etiquette! Truly, beings who drink blood and eat raw flesh!

Green Demon’s icy gaze swept across the crowd at this time.

For some reason, the moment he stepped into this place... No! The moment he stepped into the Imperial Palace, he felt entirely uncomfortable, a profound feeling of unease.

However, right now, this sensation had eased significantly.

At this moment, he represented the Demon Capital! Representing the dignity of the demon race! To kneel? Not a chance!
