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
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtbrains 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?'
The Nine Heaven Emperor was also confused by what Darryl had said, mixed between lies
and the truth. Furthermore, he had also subconsciously decided that Jade Immortal and
other immortals had gathered at the Imperial Sky Palace.
Darryl cheered in silence when he saw the confused look on Archfiend Antigonus. 'He is so
suspicious. He's frightened by the few words I just said.'
As he thought to himself, he said, "Archfiend Antigonus, since you've exposed my lie, you
should know that I don't expect my master to save me. Why don't we make a bet?"
"If I win, you'll let me leave here with the Nine Heaven Emperor. If you win, I'll be at your
mercy. How about that?"
'What?' Everyone at the Floating Island, including the fiend race warriors, the Nine Heaven
Emperor, and the soldiers, were shocked.
'What? He wants to make a bet with Archfiend Antigonus?' The soldiers were shocked and
nervous at the same time. 'What a joke! His Majesty is the ruler of the Godly Region and is
prestigious. How could he make a fool out of His Majesty?'
However, the Nine Heaven Emperor put on a solemn face and waved his hand, motioning
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmfor them not to be worried.
Though it was the Nine Heaven Emperor's first time meeting Audric, deep down, he
believed in him.
At that moment, the fiend race warriors were silent. Then, they burst into laughter and
pointed at Darryl, mocking him.
"How shameless of that kid to talk so big. How dare he make a bet with His Excellency?"
"How reckless!"
"Your Excellency, let's kill him and not waste our breath!"
Archfiend Antigonus' subordinates did not stop mocking him, and they even suggested
killing Darryl. However, Archfiend Antigonus remained silent, and his face looked utterly
solemn.
Indeed, Archfiend Antigonus' mood had been ruined by Darryl. 'If Jade Immortal and other
Heavenly Immortals are at the Imperial Sky Palace, it will be a disadvantage to the fiend
race.'
Archfiend Antigonus wished to catch Darryl and the Nine Heaven Emperor alive to use
them as leverage when he fought Jade Immortal and the other Heavenly Immortals.
However, he was aware that that would not solve the problem. Instead, that would cause
bad blood between the fiend race and the Heavenly Immortals.
It was not what Archfiend Antigonus had intended.
