Chapter 1696 - Bug Hordes Will (1/2)

There was only a single sentence in the telepathic voice transmission that Xia Ke sent.

”I sensed the prying of the bug horde's will during my elevation.”

Lin Huang fell into a moment of silence after hearing that.

He teleported Xia Ke from the Great Heaven Palace to where he was.

Xia Ke, in the black bug shell, was clearly one-fold larger now. There were no changes in its combat strength. It was still a middle-rank Lord, but its aura was clearly more powerful than before.

”You said that you sensed the prying of the bug horde's will. What does that mean exactly?” Lin Huang ignored the fact that Bai and the rest were next to him and asked directly.

Xia Ke organized its thoughts before speaking, ”The bug horde's will is our Bug Tribe's supreme will. Its authority is even higher than the Queen Mother's will. All Bug Tribe creatures are unable to disobey it.”

”I sensed the prying of the bug horde's will, but maybe He was just glancing casually. However, as soon as He notices me, there's no way I will be able to disobey any orders that He gives me. That's the thing that I'm most worried about.”

”Have you never sensed the bug horde's will prying or watching you in the past?” Lin Huang continued to ask.

”No.” Xia Ke shook its head, ”Only rank-5 Bug Tribe Queen Mothers are blessed by the bug horde's will once they are born.”

”Then how did you know that it was the bug horde's will?” Lin Huang was rather confused.

”Because the will was extremely majestic. It gave me the feeling that I couldn't disobey it at all. It far surpassed the bloodline pressure coming from the Queen Mother that gave birth to me. Although it was just a glance, it gave me the feeling that it could tear the contract between master and I easily.”

Xiao Hei suddenly spoke as well once Xia Ke was done speaking.

”I sensed that too. That unknown will was unusually powerful.”

”Is it really possible for it to break our contract?” Lin Huang asked instantly.

”It's highly possible. After all, my ability is restricted by your combat strength. The strength of the contract I established for you is only enough to constrain dao-level powerhouses.”

”This is a powerhouse above dao-level. It's entirely possible that it could tear apart someone else's contract.”

Lin Huang squinted slightly and only spoke up after a moment of thought.

”If it's not an accident that you sensed the bug horde's will when you elevated to Pure Spirit rank-6, it proves that there's a high chance of Queen Mothers being noticed by the bug horde's when they elevate to Pure Spirit rank-6. Can I interpret things this way?”

Xia Ke nodded without hesitation. ”The chances of Queen Mothers being noticed when they elevate would definitely be higher.”

”You're from the Bug Tribe. What do you think the bug horde's will do as soon as it finds out about the Queen Mothers' elevation?”

Xia Ke fell into a moment of silence. It gave an answer soon after. ”I've no idea what He exactly would do but, if He really noticed the elevation of the Queen Mothers, He definitely won't allow anyone to bind them with a contract.”

”So, will He destroy the contract?” Lin Huang raised his eyebrows.

”Not only will He destroy the contract, but He will also send His wrath to punish the contractor.” Xia Ke corrected him.

”What's the punishment?”

”I don't know, but it won't be as simple as destroying the contract.” Xia Ke was sure.

Lin Huang nodded lightly and he looked at Bai and the rest.

They were listening as they stood aside. They heard the conversation between Lin Huang and Xia Ke loud and clear.

”Do you have any decent suggestions to address this situation?”

”My suggestion is simple. Just kill all the imperial monsters that might potentially be a hidden threat. Wouldn't it be the same if you used the extra resources on others?” Grimace was the first to speak while smiling. ”Moreover, the slots to get into the virtual realm are limited. We won't have to wait as long in the queue if a batch of imperial monsters are gone.”

What he said clearly crossed the line a little bit.

Even Charcoal who was standing next to him took a few steps to distance himself.

”You…”
