Chapter 3930
The Nine Heaven Emperor saw things this way: Grunt had feelings for Princess Dorothy. Thus, he had made up
untruths in an attempt to get the wedding canceled.
"Your Majesty!"
Seeing as the Nine Heaven Emperor was not about to believe him, Grunt began to panic. "I swear on my life that
everything I said is true! The Princess cannot marry him, I..."
Grunt was close to tears. His beloved Princess was going to be married to another man! who would be able to
accept such a thing?
"You shut your mouth!"
Before he could finish his sentence, the Nine Heaven Emperor cut him off with a furious roar. "Grunt, I have
always treated you with kindness and honor. I hope you do not take advantage of my good faith in you to make
untruths like this up out of nowhere."
"Darryl Darby and the Princess are in love, and they are the perfect match for each other. I myself approve
greatly of this marriage, and think you should save your words. It is unfortunate you have feelings for the
Princess— all can only be blamed on a case of bad faith, I guess."
"If you continue with your nonsense, I will expel you of your General duties forever!"
The emperor ended his speech with a wave of his hands. "Alright then. There are still things in the Nine
Mainlands you have to sort out. Especially the Devil Sealed Mirror! You have to find it back.
Don’t let me down."

"I humbly retreat!"
Grunt responded, leaving the Imperial sky Palace devoid of all hope. His face was flooded
with tears, too.
Darryl Darby. For taking my Princess from me, I will curse you with a thousand tragedies. 2
On another side, the Nine Mainlands!
The news of Skylar having summoned upon an ancient poisonous centipede that had
infected Cayden and the horde of Heavenly
Alliance practitioners he had led had spread like wildfire across the Nine Mainlands. It
came upon the sects out of nowhere, leaving everyone stunned.
Shortly after, various sects across the land had responded to Chester's request for
assistance by sending over help. Sects that helped included the Elixir Sect, the Famed
Sword Manor and the Westrington Sect to name a few.
Aside from that, the Senior Divine Farmer, Zhu Bajie and Chang Er had also rushed over to
help upon hearing the news.
The sects gathered at the hill a little over fifty li away from the Five Poison Sect. There
were about a few hundred thousand men in total. From afar they looked grand, but
everyone's faces were nothing but solemn.
The hill was a few thousand meters away from the canyon one had to pass to get to the
Five Poison Sect. The canyon was currently enveloped in the poisonous fog, deathly silent.
There was not the slightest sign of life detected— it felt like a ghost town.
At the entrance of the canyon lay the ginormous figure of the ancient poisonous
centipede. It was currently curled into itself, taking a brief nap.
Around it, throngs of people staggered about. Their skin shone a deep green and their
gazes were completely hollow, yet sinister at the same time. They looked like walking
zombies.
These people were those that had been infected— Cayden and his men from the Heavenly
Alliance.
Whew!
At the scene that greeted them, all the sect superiors gulped internally.
It was a terrifying sight, not unlike one you would see in hell. The most chilling thought of
them all was that once infected by the centipede's poison you would lose control of your
thoughts.
"Senior Divine Farmer!"
Chester rushed out to greet the Divine Farmer. "The venom of the Ancient Poisonous
Centipede is horrifyingly destructive. Would you possibly have any ways to cure it,
Senior?"

At the question, the gazes of everyone around turned to focus on the Divine Farmer.
The Divine Farmer shook his head, his expression heavy. "There has never been an antidote for the Ancient
Poisonous Centipede to be found in history. Doctors spent years researching it, as well as tried to cure the
infection, but to no avail..."
They were done for!
Upon hearing so, Chester and the people around him felt their hearts sink with a thud.
"But!"
Just then, the Divine Farmer changed his tone. In a light voice he said, "The Ancient Poisonous Centipede may be
ginormous in build as well as fatally venomous, but it's not completely unconquerable."
"All we have to do is set up a gigantic trap formation at the entrance of that canyon. That way we will be able to
trap the Ancient Poisonous Centipede, as well as the tens of thousands of infected people in it. Then we will have
better control of the situation for the time being."
"After we trap the Ancient Poisonous Centipede, I will research more on an antidote for its venom."
Whoa...
In an instant, joy flitted across the crowd's expressions.
Especially Zhu Bajie, who laughed out loud and full-bellied, "Ha! I knew we could count on the Divine Farmer. The
Ancient Poisonous Centipede, despite all its fearsomeness, was still a mere animalistic creature. As long as we
trap it and do not let it escape, the problem will be solved temporarily while we think of a proper way out. why
hadn't I thought of that?"
