Online: I Can See Health Bars Chapter 1796 - 811: Stay

Bai Juetian, still sharp-tongued, didn’t miss an opportunity to mock.

"Seems you’re afraid now. That battle when our army pushed south and attacked was tough, wasn’t it? Now you’ve realized the might of our Da Xia Dynasty and want a title, seeking our approval?"

Mr. Xu’s sharp voice at this moment was even more grating.

Yet the Green Demon did not respond to this, rather he calmly retorted.

"Among you, who can actually decide? Could it be that in this vast Imperial Palace, there’s no one who can make a decision?"

These words of the Green Demon were already somewhat restrained.

But it still made many people present look displeased.

In the Imperial Palace, in the court, on their turf, a mere demon dare to be so arrogant!

Mr. Xu, a master of reading the room, was about to open his mouth to speak for everyone, but surprisingly, someone else spoke faster.

"Green Demon Envoy, your border regions originally belong to our Da Xia. You demons established your Capital on our territory, and now you aspire to cooperate with us, trying to make your territorial plunder legitimate, hoping for the occupied cities and territories to fully belong to you demons, even wanting Da Xia to recognize your status. Isn’t this a bit ridiculous?"

It was the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master, who seldom spoke at court meetings, and is... Mr. Xu’s adoptive father!

Startled, Mr. Xu quickly bowed his head and remained silent.

Clearly, his adoptive father was very angry. Otherwise, for matters like this, he wouldn’t have to speak; it would be handled by him, the naive one.

As for the people offended by his naiveté, that’s when he needs his backer to step in, while the benefits gained by being na?ve would be shared among the Tianji Pavilion.

So these adopted sons, along with the Pavilion Master, form a collective, an interest community, just with different roles.

They’re all eunuchs, which makes them understand each other better.

In this vast Imperial Palace, if they can’t stick together, they would easily lose their place.

At this moment, the words of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master reflected the sentiments of most present.

Though merely a small city or town at the border, occupied by demons declaring themselves as emperor, to the entire Da Xia landscape, it is like being bitten by a mosquito, a trifling matter.

But to formally acknowledge the identity of the opposing side, recognizing the Demon Capital and Demon Emperor, and cooperate, it would be an utmost humiliation for Da Xia!

Like having a lump on the body, reluctantly cutting it off to avoid the blemish. Da Xia would remain pure, without stains.

If they acknowledge the existence of the Demon Capital and the alliance with demons, granting demons formal identity, what image would Da Xia hold in the eyes of other nations?

Not to mention, demons and humans are innately opposed. With demons feeding on humans, cooperation with the Demon Capital might lead to supplying human food to them?

Though in the Capital, this isn’t something new, but it’s a different matter to be discussed openly.

"Does this mean you disagree with cooperation? I advise you to consult your Holy Emperor before deciding, lest differing opinions make you a laughingstock."

The Green Demon spoke with a smile.

Truth is, he was unsure too, but this was Lan Yuhe’s direct instruction, so he was simply relaying the words.

As to the outcome, Green Demon didn’t care much, his expectations for cooperation weren’t high anyway.

"Outrageous!"

"Is court affairs a matter for a mere Demon Envoy to comment on?"

"Someone! Come and take away these two demons from the hall!"

Indeed, as soon as Green Demon’s words fell, several angry voices echoed in the court.

Suddenly, from outside came the sound of neat footsteps, as if an immense army was approaching in orderly fashion.

The Long-haired Fire Stepping Demon turned to look, eyes widening as he saw countless troops nearing the court, their imposing presence so terrifying that just one glance made the Long-haired Fire Stepping Demon grab Green Demon’s clothes in fear, nearly collapsing.

Yet Green Demon, calm as ever, didn’t even turn his head as he loudly proclaimed.

"In diplomatic discussions between nations, envoys are not to be harmed. Is this how you Da Xia treat envoys? Aren’t you afraid of becoming a laughing stock among neighboring countries?"

Neighboring countries? A cluster of minor nations, not worth fearing?

Yet, killing envoys is trivial, losing honor is a major concern.

Da Xia’s spirit hasn’t descended to such depths, getting angry with a mere demon envoy and venting by killing a demon.

"Everyone halt! No military forces are to enter the court!"

Lord Jing loudly commanded, yet he was looking at Bai Juetian.

The troops outside, he had no authority to command.

Sure enough, Bai Juetian casually waved his hand, and the handsome young man behind him loudly ordered.

"All troops, halt!"

Indeed, the order was given, and all troops halted.

Yet the sheer sight of such a dense army created an immense sense of oppression.

And this oppressive feeling was not only directed at the Green Demon but cast a shadow over the psyche of everyone else in the court.

"I was unaware that the Demon Blade Army was responsible for today’s main court defense."

Mr. Xu’s tone of sarcasm echoed again.

But this time, the target is no longer the Demon Capital Envoy, but... the Demon Blade Army Commander, Bai Juetian!

"Lord Bai, moving troops privately to guard outside the main hall, isn’t this action inappropriate?"

The Lord of Fengtian Prefecture, narrowing his eyes slightly, said calmly.
