Chapter 41 (1/2)

Wei Huo looked at the Old Demonic Ant with cold eyes. After a few moments, the Old Demonic Ant calmed down and started muttering to itself, “I see. I finally understand what you mean, Master. We seek Dao, not fame or wealth. We cultivate for truth, not longevity. Fame, status and power are all illusions. The law of all creations is the truth. That is what I should pursue!”

Wei Huo was left speechless.

‘Useless! I think the Demonic Ant Clan is really useless. I was actually worried that they would threaten mankind? I was too naïve.’

Right at that moment, 10086 suddenly rushed in. “Master, we have a problem. The enemy troops are attacking. The Empress has summoned you to the palace.”

The Old Demonic Ant sat upright, “I am now a Dao cultivator. Fame and wealth is not what I seek, let the earthly affairs be gone with the wind.”

10086 was dumbfounded. What was happening?

Wei Huo ignored the fool. He exited the Old Demonic Ant’s library and went straight to the top of the Demonic Ant tower. He was curious about the so-called enemy troops.

The Old Demonic Ant was confused as it saw Wei Huo left, “Great Master has left. Did I say something wrong?”

The Old Demonic Ant thought for a moment and said, “The path of monarchy is also a Dao, the path of war is also a Dao. That is why a Dao Cultivator should engage with the world instead of shunning it. Only then one could observe the great wide world and seek for truth!”

The Old Demonic Ant stood up, “10086, I want to go to the Empress’s palace, lead the way!”

Wei Huo had no idea how his arrival had influenced the Old Demonic Ant. A dark mass of army at the southeast came into his sight as he arrived at the top of the Demonic Ant tower. They were Demonic Ants from another colony. There were thousands upon thousands of them. The ant armies were pitching their camps at the southeast, building Demonic Anthills, digging trenches, and fortifying walls.

Wei Huo was amazed. How did those Demonic Ants know so much?

Then, Wei Huo saw an extremely sturdy armored Demonic Ant walk out from the enemy’s battle formation. That ant was especially gigantic and strong. It emitted a kind of scent, and as the scent wafted across Wei Huo’s nose, he immediately understood what it was talking about.

“The Empress of Nation Code 009, listen to me! Hand over my male-servant immediately, or else my army will attack!”

Wei Huo was confused. “???”

‘What? Male-servant? You are attacking because of a male-servant?’

Wei Huo thought those Demonic Ants would be doomed sooner or later even if they were left alone.

At this moment, the Empress from Nation Code 009 walked out. It also had a gigantic body and was covered in armor. It stood at the edge of the city and bellowed, “Empress of Nation Code 007, your male-servant had been conquered by my charm. Don’t you dare take him away from me. Start the war if you want!”

Wei Huo was speechless. “…”

What a willful Empress!

At this moment, 10086 ran hurriedly to the Demonic Ant tower where Wei Huo was at. Gasping for breath, it said, “Great Master, the Empress had summoned you. Please head to the east city gate.”

City gate? Wei Huo shot a glance to the fence gate at the east side.

What motherf*cking city gate!

Wei Huo arrived at the east city gate. Soon after, he saw the Empress, who was three times the size of a common Demonic Ant, and the Old Demonic Ant Warlock standing at the side.

The Old Demonic Ant said hastily to the Empress after smelling Wei Huo’s scent, “Empress, let me introduce you. This is a Qi Cultivator Ant Great Master. He has strong power and vast knowledge!”

The Empress was dubious, “This was the Great Master you were talking about? Why does he look so young?”
