Chapter 3920
"Mother!" Princess Dorothy cried helplessly, she did not know what she did wrong and wanted to chase
after her mother, but she was long gone.
'How did things end up like this?' she crumpled onto the wooden sofa, unable to make heads or tails out
of anything. 'Why would Mother insist that I was with Darryl when it was so obvious that I was with
Grunt?'
Meanwhile, back at Five Poison Sect in Westrington, Skylar was sitting anxiously in his room while
Kendall was standing solemnly next to him. The news of the Devil Sealed Mirror being stolen had spread
like wildfire throughout the Nine Mainland, kicking up an uproar in every sect.
The various sects headed by the Heavenly Alliance and the Carter family were trying to track down
Skylar and the Devil Sealed Mirror's whereabouts. The Heavenly Alliance and the Carter family were
enemies since the former culled the latter, still, under those circumstances, they had reached a tacit
understanding that there would be no conflict until the matter had been solved.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter all, they should not underestimate Archfiend Antigonus' power. The entire world would be plunged
into chaos should he be released. Therefore, Skylar had no choice but to stay put in the Five Poison Sect,
but even so, the Carter family and the Heavenly Alliance had already set a target on the sect based on
their deductions.
It was not hard to figure that he would be there since Kendall, the Sect Master of the Five
Poison Sect, had been following him around. So, half a day ago, hundreds of thousands of
the Heavenly Alliance's disciples and people from the Carter Family started making their
way to the Five Poison Sect.
Naturally, Skylar started to panic when he heard the news.
Archfiend Antigonus would need another three days to be released from the mirror. All
their previous efforts would be wasted should anything interrupt the process. Skylar had
summoned Kendall to come up with a defense plan, but the two of them could not come
up with anything at all.
"Sect Master, the Heavenly Alliance and the Carter family are coming on fierce. Maybe we
should not fight them head-on and instead hide in the Franga Valley," Kendall said
cautiously.
Franga Valley was where they imprisoned Debra. The environment there was beautiful and
secluded.
Skylar shook his head without even giving it a thought. "That definitely won't work.
Archfiend Antigonus can't leave the secret room at the most critical times."
Kendall's brows furrowed, she was out of ideas. Archfiend Antigonus could not leave the
place, but there was no way they could defend the place with the people they had.
Suddenly, she had an idea.
"Sect Master, I have a suggestion, but I must warn you that it'll bring a bloodbath," Kendall
said.
Skylar smiled and said, "Do tell."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe would not mind the bloodbath if it could solve the problem at hand.
Kendall hesitated before she asked, "Have you ever heard of the ancient poisonous centipede?"
'The ancient poisonous centipede?' Skylar's eyes lit up, and he seemed conflicted.
The ancient poisonous centipede was a highly toxic insect living in Nine Mainland thousands of years
ago. It looked like an ordinary centipede, but it could grow more than one hundred meters, which gave
people chills just thinking about it.
According to legend, the poison inside a hundred-meter-long ancient poisonous centipede could cover
an area of one thousand meters, and the toxic mist it exuded was highly corrosive, whether a cultivator
or an enchanted beast, every living thing would be poisoned once they inhaled the mist. Their
consciousness would be numbed, and they would gradually lose their ability to think until finally, they
became nothing more than bloodthirsty monsters. Therefore, it would not be a stretch to say that the
ancient poisonous centipede was a very dangerous existence.
"Of course, I've heard of it. Just get straight to the point," Skylar said.
Kendall took a deep breath and said, "There is an ancient poisonous centipede that has existed longer
than the Five Poison Sect in the forbidden place on the mountain behind the sect's main altar. They said
it was captured by the Five Poison Sect's founder and then sealed in the forbidden place since then."
