It was true that Ambrose had been Sect Master of the Elysium Gate for quite some time, but the Carter family members rarely referred to him as the Young Master.Chester, who had been standing watch the entire time, frowned lightly.Cayden was a reckless man, but he was no fool. Since he had the nerve to challenge Ambrose, it must mean that he had tricks up his sleeve. Chester felt the urge to rush forward, yet he knew he would give the Heavenly Alliance plenty to mock about if he did so. They would say he teamed up with Ambrose to fight Cayde—two against one—outnumbering the opponent.That was why Chester had held back from making a move.Murmurs of conversation rang among the Carter family members. Even the Heavenly Alliance members seemed to have their brows tightly knit—worry for Cayden written all over their faces.Ambrose had made a name for himself long before Cayden had and even had the Tyrant Hammer to wield in his power. The Heavenly Alliance's Guardian might not last thr

What greeted them was an enormous creature approaching them steadily. It was the ancient poisonous centipede.That centipede was a whopping hundred meters in length. A total of two hundred legs lined its sides. It was covered in dark green scales, with eyes that shone with bloodthirst.On top of that, it had two pairs of wings on its back. Its looming figure glowed, illuminated by the green flames that surrounded it.Those green flames were caused by the combustion of the venom that the ancient poisonous centipede was secreting.It was as if everyone could physically feel the temperature around them drop when the centipede appeared. It was spring then. The centipede's appearance made everyone feel like they had been plunged into autumn instantly.Everyone was frozen in shock, a chill creeping down their spines."Holy sh*t, that's a huge centipede!""How long did that centipede cultivate for it to grow that big? And what's with the green flames?"Everyone could not contain the

All eyes were on Cayden as he got to his feet slowly. His entire face had turned green, eyes sparkling with an ominous glow. The sound he let out was hard to recognize— it sounded like a sob and a laugh simultaneously.The Carter family or the Heavenly Alliance members let out a collective gasp as they watched the scene.Chester was right. Cayden had come into contact with the ancient poisonous centipede's venom and had gotten infected. Once infected, one would lose control of their thoughts; they only had bloodthirst in their mind.Cayden looked around wildly, letting out an animalistic cry. He charged toward the Heavenly Alliance members.Kill. Kill. Kill. Cayden had lost control of his senses—there was only a single word ricocheting through his mind!"Argh!"Cayden had been infected, and he had turned into a monster. He began attacking anyone in his path, even biting at a few people. Over 50 Heavenly Alliance members had keeled over in their own blood in no time at all.Every

The servants exchanged knowing looks with each other, smiling.One of them spoke up. "Honored General, you must have not heard the news yet! Her Majesty Princess Dorothy is going to marry. The grand wedding will be in two days."A grand wedding?Grunt's body jerked in shock. He felt a dull ringing in his brain.How could this be?Grunt's brain was in a total state of confusion.He had yet to confess to the Princess, but he was sure Princess Dorothy had feelings for him. Also, he had never heard her speak of someone else she had had her eyes on.What was the deal with this sudden grand wedding?Seeing Grunt's stunned expression, the servants did not place too much thought into it and carried on with their tasks.Whoa.Grunt finally managed to snap back to reality, panic slowly flooding his senses. He had half a mind to burst into Princess Dorothy's chambers there and then."General, please stay back!"At the entrance of the chambers, the guards outside halted Grunt in his st

"As for the people who were tragically infected— they're all as good as dead. No need to worry about them."Everyone around nodded at his words.At this, Chester said with a smile as well, "Your plan sounds great. Well then, let's begin taking action."Many of the sect superiors there were highly skilled in conjuring various formations. It was clear that setting up a simple trap formation would hardly be a problem.Under Chester's lead, the respective sects quickly began conjuring the trap formation for the entrance of the canyon.……Just then, on another end.At the altar of the Heavenly Alliance, Grunt sat on his throne. His face was pitch-black with hatred and demise.Princess Dorothy was to be married to Darryl Darby, whereas Grunt had been tasked with the arduous mission of picking up after the mess that had happened in the Nine Mainlands. That alone was enough to make Grunt murderous.Yet just when he thought things couldn't get any worse, Grunt received news that the te
