The Nine Heaven Emperor still did not know that it was not the real Grunt in front of him—it was Darryl impersonating Grunt.
'Oh, sh*t!' Darryl started to panic at the Nine Heaven Emperor's questioning. 'Looks like I came at a bad time. I hope I don't get exposed!'
"Your Majesty, please don't be angry. I've already deployed everyone in the Heavenly Alliance to track the Devil Sealed Mirror. I came back because I have something important to report," Darryl said quickly.
"Well, let's hear it!" the Nine Heaven Emperor said coldly with a frown.
Darryl took a deep breath in preparation for the next part of his playacting. "The person who stole the Devil Sealed Mirror is called Skylar. He is a fiend descendant, and he has a fiend soul in his body.
"He fought with the Heavenly Alliance before he went to the Ghost World to steal the Devil Sealed Mirror. At that time, he forcibly fed the Soul-devouring Bloodworm to several core Heavenly Alliance members, and only the glazed water would be able to drive the worms out. Therefore, I begged Your Majesty to show mercy and give me some of the glazed water so that I can save the Heavenly Alliance members."
He spoke somberly. He had come up with that story when he entered the Imperial Sky Palace. After all, the Heavenly Alliance was established by Rogart at the behest of the Nine Heavens Emperor, so there was no way he would turn a blind eye to their plight.
'Is that so?' the Nine Heaven Emperor thought with a frown.
At the same time, the surrounding officials also spoke up, accusing Darryl of insolence.
"Commander Grunt, are you crazy? You dare to ask His Majesty for the glazed water?"
"Don't you know that the glazed water is the most precious treasure in the Godly Region, and only His Majesty can enjoy it!"
