Chapter 4423
"It'd be such a waste to throw these away when they haven't gone bad, right?"
"Honestly, we've done a pretty good job as guards here for the past few thousand years. Eating a few spirit fruits
about to go bad is not that big of an offense."
Then, the guard reached forward. He grabbed a spirit fruit and bit into it.
A satisfied expression came onto his face as he devoured the fruit. He could not help but exclaim, "Oh, this is
wonderful."
The other guard finally gave in and took a spirit fruit. It was not long before they had polished off all the fruits in
the basket.
Upon finishing their feast, the guards disposed of the basket and continued to guard the Jade Spiritual Realm
entrance while talking and laughing.
"I heard that spirit fruits can make you stronger. Do you feel anything?"
"Not right now. Oh, what do we do with the pits?"
"Oh, I've got something in mind. Let's feed them to the Mighty Butes. I'm sure they'd enjoy them."
The two guards tossed the pits to the Mighty Butes. The beasts caught them instantly with their teeth,

When the Mighty Butes devoured the pits, the guards exchanged a smile.
They were lucky that day. Thanks to a bumbling fruit orchard servant, they got a few spirit
fruits for free.
Wait a moment-
Just as they were lost in delight, one of the guards frowned. It felt like something was off.
It was strange. He had been fine just a moment ago; why did he suddenly feel dizzy?
On top of that, something was suppressing the energy in his body.
"What's up with you?" the other guardian asked hurriedly.
"I don't know. I feel dizzy all of a sudden."
"How could that be? Was there something wrong with the fruits?"
The other guard jerked backward as well. He felt it as the energy from his body drained,
and his head spun as he could barely stand.
Crap!
There was something wrong with the fruits, indeed.
The guards seemed to have realized it at the same time. They tried to channel their
internal energy to call for help, but their heads spun tremendously, and they barely had
the energy to speak.
Soon enough, the guards could not stand upright any longer and fell to the floor
unconscious, one after the other.
At the same time, the two Mighty Butes collapsed as well.
At the sight, a satisfied smirk appeared on Archfiend Antigonus' face as he stood in his
hiding spot. He walked out leisurely and disappeared into the Jade Spiritual Realm in a
swift move.
Meanwhile, at the Carter family members' location.
Chester, Dax, and Yvonne sat in the great hall. They had unreadable expressions on their
faces.
Darryl had been gone for a really long time, and there had been no news from him. That
made everyone grow increasingly worried and panicked.
Then, there was Yvette. Ever since she had gone off to the North Moana Continent, they had lost contact with
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmher. Two days ago, they heard that she had become the New World's Empress, but she had yet to return.
"I have news!"
Just then, a fellow cultivator rushed in and bowed to Chester. "I found out where Lady Yvette is."
Everyone in the hall perked up significantly. Chester said, "Come on then, out with it."
The young man took a deep breath before saying, "I found out that Lady Lane had been trying to track down the
Five Poison Sect ever since she became the Empress. Just a day ago, there had been news that the Five Poison
Sect was in the Great East, and Lady Lane headed there immediately."
What?
Everyone froze in shock before falling into deep thought closely after.
What was going on with Yvette? She had not told them about becoming the New World Empress, and then she
was off in the Great East hunting down the Five Poison Sect. What was she up to?
When everyone fell silent, the young man continued in a lower voice." There’s something else that I don't know if
I should say-"
"Out with it!" Chester nodded without hesitation.
The young man took a deep breath before saying, "I heard from my sources that Lady Lane killed Lord Kenny at
the North Moana Palace. And that she had used the fiend race to do it."
Chester froze in shock as his eyes widened. "Are you sure?"
