The Demonic Cultivator In Zombie World novel Chapter 254

Chapter 254: The Queen Is Seriously Ill, Speaking Nonsense Now!

Chu Xuan was very pleased with Yun Qi and Ma Nanshan's performance. Both possessed not only strong soul power but also clever minds, making them ideal candidates to nurture. Since he could not permanently reside on Soul Star, he would definitely need a proxy to manage affairs on his behalf.

"The news of the Ascendant Faction's rise has been deliberately spread," Chu Xuan murmured, stroking his chin. He eagerly anticipated the moment when the two great kings would intervene.

...

In the underground city, Yun Qi and the other Ascenders returned to the palace. The queen, now old and wrinkled, yet still diminutive in stature, eagerly greeted them.

"Captain Long! How was the harvest this time?" the queen asked excitedly.

Yun Qi knelt on one knee, "The harvest was significant. We captured over a thousand soul beasts and acquired a large number of high-quality soul beast seeds."

The queen nodded solemnly, "Good! Very good! I have always said that the conflict between the Slaughter Faction and the Husbandry Faction is an excellent opportunity for the Ascendant Faction to rise. In time, we could stand equal to these two major factions and become the third great faction on Soul Star. Just wait a little longer, and we might even defeat the Slaughter and Husbandry Factions and rebuild our world!"

Her face flushed with excitement, and her eyes gleamed with the vision of ruling supreme. She took a deep breath and her gaze became frenzied, "Captain Long! By my command, continue to attack Slaughter Faction cities! Our next target is Black Tree City! I give you one year to organize a thousand great soul master troop!"

The Ascenders exchanged glances.

A year? A thousand great soul masters? They couldn't even muster a thousand soul masters in ten years, let alone one. Was the queen losing her mind?

After the battle at Grey Leaf City, nearly all of her staunch supporters were dead. The few that remained couldn't make much of a difference. The Ascenders standing here were already weary of the queen. Previously, they had been cautious because of her loyal supporters, but now they had a new backing.

Seeing the Ascenders not responding, the queen's expression turned sour. "Why are you all hesitating? Captain Long, do you have something difficult to say?"

Yun Qi and Ma Nanshan looked up at the queen. Yun Qi calmly stated, "Your Majesty, I am not Captain Long Yuan."

The queen was stunned. "Long Yuan, what madness is this? If you are not Long Yuan, who else could you be?"

"I am Yun Qi, captain of the Dark Cloud Squad," Yun Qi clarified.

Ma Nanshan grinned, "And I am Ma Nanshan. The very Ma Nanshan who was ordered by the queen to be executed by the Dragonfly Squad."

The queen was left speechless as Yun Qi and Ma Nanshan wiped away their facial disguises, revealing their true identities. The sight of those familiar faces struck terror into her heart as if she were seeing the dead rise from hell to claim her life.

Yun Qi stated calmly, "The queen's orders are mistaken; the Dark Cloud Squad refuses to comply."

Ma Nanshan followed suit, and soon, other members of the Ascendant Faction echoed their sentiment:

"The queen's orders are mistaken! The Hundred Leaves Squad refuses to comply!"

"The queen's orders are mistaken! The Black Bird Squad refuses to comply!"

"The queen's orders are mistaken!..."

Each declaration was like a dagger to the queen's heart. At that moment, she felt as if the whole world was distancing itself from her.
