Arriving at the Palace of the Polestar, two burly young men from the Demon Clan—disciples of Bai Ze the Demon Saint—who had snuck into the Heavenly Court by pulling strings with Nezha, immediately prepared to salute. Nezha swiftly cast an immobilization spell and froze them in place.
Clearing his throat, he announced, "Li Nezha, Thundering General of the Thunder Department, has matters to report and requests an audience with the Great Venerable!"
The burly young demons instantly realized their mistake. Once Nezha released the immobilization spell, they began the formal procedures.
After running through the protocols for a while, Nezha finally met Hao Tian. As usual, Hao Tian was preoccupied with his endless administrative duties. Anyone unaware of the truth might genuinely think he was an extraordinarily diligent Heavenly Emperor.
After waiting for a moment, Hao Tian raised his head, as if only just noticing Nezha's arrival, and asked, "Li Minister, what brings you here?"
