There was not the slightest trace of jest on his face; his expression was solemn as he said in a low voice: "The Seventh Young Master Shen Mu has not yet attained the Dao. He forced the sealing of the Ancestral Court and has now suffered grievous damage to his vital essence; he is at the end of his strength. How could he possibly rush here to kill Palace Master Phoenix?"
The corner of Palace Master Phoenix's eye twitched.
Kaihuang Shen Ye said gravely: "He cannot even match Palace Master Phoenix in a head-on contest; how could he slay her with a single blow? Therefore, I was lying. Palace Masters, please come out of the city and kill us."
The Heavenly Emperor Haotian said in alarm: "Palace Masters, strike now!"
But Palace Master Phoenix and Palace Master Hehuan retreated step by step.
The Heavenly Emperor Haotian grew frantic and cried out: "He is indeed deceiving you! Every one of the Shen name lies!"
Palace Master Phoenix said in a low voice: "Fellow Daoist Hao, whether he speaks truth or lies, the best course now is to hold fast in the Jade Capital City and wait for more Palace Masters to descend!"
The Heavenly Emperor Haotian was beside himself with rage and said harshly: "You have squandered the moment for battle, foolish and benighted as you are. How did you ever become Palace Masters?"

Palace Master Hehuan's palm landed on his face, and she said mildly: "Fellow Daoist Hao, mind your place."

"Shen Ye, which of your words is true?"
Behind Shen Ye, the Moon Heavenly Venerate asked softly: "What you said, was it truth or falsehood?"
Kaihuang Shen Ye turned his head, as composed as ever: "The Shen family never lies."
After a moment, he added: "Believe it, and you have already lost."
