Chapter 3927
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.
Everyone was shocked to see the blood that gushed out of wounds that Cayden had bitten from did not flow red
but deep, viscous green.
It was clear that the venom would infect anyone that Cayden bit. Even if it was not fatal
enough to kill them, they would have gotten infected and lost control anyway. 2
The rest of the Heavenly Alliance members stared blankly, both in fear and judgment.

Had the Guardian gone insane? What was he doing, killing his own men?
Amid their terror, many still braved themselves to approach him in an attempt to stop
him.
"Oh, great Guardian! Please calm down!"
"Guar-"
However, before they could get anywhere near close, Cayden's force had rendered them
unconscious.
At the same time, the ancient poisonous centipede had also lost control. It unhinged its
jaw, spitting out jets of venom. Upon coming into contact with the air, the venom
evaporated into a poisonous fog that quickly spread in the direction of the crowd.
The fog spread steadily and quickly. Before long, many of the Heavenly Alliance members
had inhaled it. It suffocated them immediately, their hands flying to their neck and their
expressions morphing into pure agony.
As the poisonous gas spread into their bodies, the men became similar to Cayden. Their
skin began to turn green, and their spirits grew unstable. They had become infected.
The situation was one of absolute chaos, a mix of anguished screams and hoarse shrieks.
It sounded not unlike what one would hear in hell.
The Carter family did not avert their eyes, not even for a single second. Their legs almost
turn to jelly. 2
The centipede was ancient and poisonous indeed. It was a creature of nothing but pure
terror—all it took was one person to be infected for them to lose control, and others would
follow suit.
It seemed like the rest of the Heavenly Alliance members would be infected in a matter of
minutes.
"Retreat!"
Chester was the first to snap back to his senses, deciding to escape. "Quickly! Retreat as
soon as possible." The centipede's poisonous gas was spreading steadily, rendering all
areas within a thousand meter radius of it dangerous. If they were to wait any longer to
escape, they might not make it out in time.
It was not that Chester did not wish to help the Heavenly Alliance. The ancient poisonous
centipede was simply too powerful—he would not stand a chance.
Then, Ambrose and everyone else pulled themselves together without a moment of hesitation, retreating
according to Chester's orders.

they could still see the ancient poisonous centipede perched on the canyon, ceaseless with its attacks. Everyone
took a deep breath, their expressions unreadable.
The canyon had been completely enveloped in the poisonous green fog.
"Uncle Chester!"
Ambrose could not help but blurt out his concern. "What should we do next? It was obvious Skylar Blanc lured the
ancient poisonous centipede here, intending to hold the Heavenly Alliance and us back. I'm almost certain he's
hiding in the Five Poison Sect."
Chester nodded. "You're right. The Five Poison Sect is only accessible through the canyon. But now, it is covered
in the poisonous fog, and we will not make it through. More importantly, that centipede is truly too powerful—I
fear no one in the Nine Mainland can conquer it."
As he spoke, Darryl came to Chester's mind. "If only Darryl were here." He sighed.
At the thought of Darryl, Chester could not help a pang of worry in his chest. It had been five days since Darryl
had left for the Godly Region, but there had been no news from him at all.
Everyone looked at each other, panic starting to flood their senses slowly.
Chester had hit the nail on the head. The appearance of the ancient poisonous centipede had killed Cayden and
his army of ten thousand Heavenly Alliance members; it had left no survivors.
Once the beast exited the valley, there would be a disaster in the Nine Mainland.
