The Demonic Cultivator In Zombie World novel Chapter 419

Chu Xuan observed his surroundings, noting that the shards of the mirror had been taken down and placed on a long table outside the prison cell.

Lie Xiao, dressed in prison clothes, lay motionless on the straw-covered floor, his fate unknown. Outside the prison, several jailers paced back and forth, occasionally striking the wailing prisoners.

As Chu Xuan glanced around, he recognized many of the prisoners as Insect Masters from the Fiery Holy Ant Tribe, and further off, he could spot others from different tribes. He couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

The rebellion army has been wiped out? He had expected Lie Xiao's uprising to last for years, but this outcome seemed to differ sharply from his expectations.

"So quickly suppressed... Looks like we have a traitor among us," Chu Xuan mused thoughtfully.

His mind quickly settled on the possibility that the Evil Scorpion Tribe might be involved. He recalled that when Lie Xiao had offered incense at the Fiery Holy Ant Tribe's ancestral hall, he had murmured to himself, hinting that the Evil Scorpion Tribe's leader had been in contact with Lie Xiao and possibly harbored rebellious thoughts.

It now seemed plausible that the leader of the Evil Scorpion Tribe might have been bait, used by the Insect Monarch to fish for larger targets, such as the Fiery Holy Ant Tribe and other factions. If this were the case, the political genius of the Insect Monarch was truly extraordinary.

Just then, a burly Insect Master clad in heavy armor entered the prison. The jailers immediately fell to their knees.

"Greetings, Captain Wei!" they said in unison. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Captain Wei gave a calm order, "The Monarch has commanded that all of Lie Xiao's possessions be brought to him."

At once, the jailers fetched Lie Xiao's belongings and placed them on an iron tray. Captain Wei took the tray, carefully placing it on an exquisite sandalwood plate, before leaving the prison.

Chu Xuan's field of vision widened as he followed Captain Wei's movements. The palace, paved with white stone slabs, came into view.

Looking around, he saw structures at regular intervals—five steps between a tower, ten between a pavilion. Jagged artificial mountains and winding little bridges added to the scene. The fusion of various architectural styles created a strikingly complex aesthetic within the palace.

After a brief moment, Captain Wei entered a fragrant palace, where the air was filled with a sweet, ethereal aroma. Kneeling, he carefully raised the sandalwood plate and announced, "My King, I have brought Lie Xiao's personal belongings."

Soon, a delicate-looking servant hastened out to take the plate, entering the palace.

Chu Xuan's gaze shifted into the interior of the palace. At the very center was a large cauldron, about three times the height of an average adult. Four wooden ladders were positioned around it, and dozens of young people were rushing around the palace, busy with various tasks. Some ground herbs, others squeezed juices or tended the fire, their feet barely touching the ground from their frantic work.

"Your Majesty, Lie Xiao's belongings have been brought," the servant kneeled respectfully.

From behind the large cauldron, a figure emerged. He was draped in a crimson-yellow robe, with disheveled hair and bare feet, walking with a slow and deliberate pace.

The Insect Monarch, despite his elegant features, carried an air of dignified authority even without anger. At first glance, he appeared to have the grace of an immortal; yet, on closer inspection, there was an unsettling edge to him, as if teetering on the brink of madness.

This complex blend of contrasting traits only made him more memorable. In fact, after all the years of cultivation Chu Xuan had undergone, he had never encountered anyone quite like this.

"After all this time, not a bit of progress!" The Insect Monarch's face darkened, and he roared in frustration.

The young workers, no matter what they were doing, quickly dropped everything and hurried out of the palace, all bowing respectfully before leaving.

Soon, the vast palace was left with only the Insect Monarch. He immediately began to rummage through Lie Xiao's belongings. Not long after, his eyes fell upon the mirror shards.
