As the gates of the Imperial Palace opened wide, outside the Sangyu Room behind the Imperial Palace, the Black Armor Guards stood at attention every three steps, forming five tight layers inside and out, their expressions solemn.
In the shadow of the grand walls of the Imperial Palace, this place did not appear dark at all. The golden jade floor shimmered bright under the warm lights.
Moreover, there were no shadowed corners where the Black Armor Guards stood, allowing a clear view around the entire study.
Between the gaps in the golden jade floor were diamond-shaped crystal stones engraved with talismans, the flickering light skittering along the strokes of the symbols.
Yet, such stringent security still seemed inadequate. At least, in the eyes of Deputy Commander Jiang Ziqi of the Black Armor Guards, the protection of the array only prevented demons from approaching Emperor Wei closely. To ensure true safety, even stronger individuals were needed.
