Chapter 4549
Little did the Nine Heaven Emperor know that Darryl had faked the story. It was to deter Archfiend Antigonus. In fact, there were no other Heavenly Immortals at the Imperial Sky Palace to help them.
Finally, Archfiend Antigonus collected his thoughts and scoffed. He said to Darryl, "The Heavenly Immortals went to help out at the Imperial Sky Palace? Do you think you can fool me like a three-year-old kid?"
Tens of thousand years ago, the fiend race was defeated in the Great War between gods and fiends. Archfiend Antigonus' physical body was destroyed, and he was only left with his remnant soul, wandering at the place beyond the nine heavens. During that time, Archfiend Antigonus met many Heavenly Immortals and was familiar with their innate characters. They were indifferent toward worldly rewards and would not bother with wars in the Godly Region.
Therefore, it would be impossible to get that many Heavenly Immortals gathering at the Imperial Sky Palace to fight the fiend race.
Darryl knew Archfiend Antigonus did not believe him, so he stopped pretending. He chuckled and said, "Ah! You're indeed the supreme leader of the fiend race. I racked my brains to think of a lie, but you exposed me so quickly. Oh, what a pity!"
Then, he tilted his head in the direction of the Imperial Sky Palace and let out a long sigh. "Master, I've let you down."
After being in the world of cultivators for so many years, Darryl had learned one truth-it was always hard to differentiate between the sham and the truth. People like Archfiend Antigonus, suspicious by nature, would not believe him even when he had told the truth. He would certainly not believe it, and he would become more skeptical.
'Huh?' Indeed, Archfiend Antigonus frowned again when he saw the facial expression on Darryl's face.
'Why would that kid admit that he's lying so easily?'
‘This is not right. This must be a trap.'
'Furthermore, he looked in the direction of the Imperial Sky Palace when he sighed just now.'
'Perhaps, it's true. Jade Immortal and the Heavenly Immortals could be really in the Imperial Sky Palace.'
'That-' The Nine Heaven Emperor was also stunned and stared at Darryl as he pondered that.
'That kid dares to create a lie to frighten Archfiend Antigonus.'
'But on second thought, if he had no one backing him up, why was he so fearless?'
