"If you agree, you can live. If you refuse, you'll die."
Chen Feng's cold voice was transmitted into the Insect Emperor's mind. This caused the Insect Emperor, who was extremely active a second ago, to go into hibernation in the next second. Its entire body became stiff.
Who would be willing to be a servant in a high position?
It was no exaggeration to say that the Insect Emperor's position in the Insect World was higher than Chen Feng's. Although this place was not as developed as the human world, the Insect Emperor controlled hundreds of millions of insects!
Just like how the ancient emperors had a vast territory. Other than the generals and guards inside and outside the imperial city, there were still countless generals and generals in the rest of the territory. Chen Feng had killed many insects. Among them, there were not only Gold-rank, but also Legendary-rank and half-step Epic-rank. However, compared to the territory controlled by the Insect Emperor, the number of Insect Kings and Insect Queens lost was only one-tenth or even less.
It had mentioned before that there were many competitors eyeing its territory, and those insects were the loyal subjects who were protecting its territory.
Those insects could not easily leave its territory. In addition, the Insect World was vast. If the Insect Emperor did not summon its Insect Queens in advance, it would not be able to rescue them in a short period of time.
Why would the Insect Emperor make such a deal with Chen Feng? It even declared that it would satisfy the supply of insectoid meat for the millions of people of Order. That's because, to it, this loss was nothing but a drop in the ocean. There was no entertainment here, and to the insectoids, what they did the most every day was killing and mating.
Moreover, once the insects laid eggs, they would lay dozens or even hundreds of eggs. In the territory controlled by the Insect Emperor, there were countless insects. Every year, in order to stabilize the territory and prevent it from exploding due to the excessive number of insects, the Insect Emperor would even order a large batch of eggs to be destroyed at specific times. If it cooperated with Order, it did not need too many eggs. It only needed to let a portion of the eggs survive. When they grew up, it would complete the deal with Order.
Therefore, the Insect Emperor's wishful thinking sounded like it would provide Order with sufficient dried meat, but in reality, it would pay very little.
"I … What if I don't agree?"
After a few seconds, the Insect Emperor stabilized her emotions. Then, a clear and melodious voice was transmitted into Chen Feng's mind. If one ignored her appearance, just based on her voice alone, one would think that a gentle young lady was standing in front of him. Her tone was filled with a sense of playfulness.
"You don't agree?"
Chen Feng smiled. Suddenly, he flicked his hand and a cluster of flames exploded in the void. The flames were not big, only the size of a fist, but the temperature of the flames had reached a certain extreme.
After a period of familiarity, Chen Feng found out that the strength of the Insect Emperor lay in its spirit and not its physical body. Under this terrifying flame, this Insect Emperor might be able to struggle for a while. However, there would only be one ending for it — it would be burned alive and become a charred corpse.
"If you don't agree, then don't blame me for burying you here. At the same time, I'll kill all the insects within a dozen miles of this place. If even a single insect egg is left, then I'll consider my achievements as not high enough!"
Chen Feng said unhurriedly.
Although Chen Feng was merely trying to scare him, with his words and his boundless strength, the Insect Emperor believed that Chen Feng would do as he said.
"The King of Ten Thousand Insects is unfathomable. No one could have predicted that his hidden strength would erupt. If I betray him, no one will be able to bear his wrath, "the Insect Emperor said calmly.
At that moment, the Insect Emperor finally voiced its worries. Just like how Wei Xun had pledged his loyalty to Chen Feng, if Wei Xun turned to the City of Silver now and was discovered, the people below would gang up and kill Wei Xun, even if Chen Feng did not say anything!
This was what the Insect Emperor was hesitating about. Once it swore allegiance to Chen Feng in the name of the King of Ten Thousand Insects, the King of Ten Thousand Insects would know everything. Who knew what kind of fury the true ruler behind the Insect Race would unleash if its general pledged his loyalty to a human?
Chen Feng's expression softened. Judging from the Insect Emperor's tone, it seemed like it had compromised. However, what he was worried about now was being discovered by the King of Ten Thousand Insects!
Chen Feng was no fool. This was especially true after witnessing how terrifying gods were. Naturally, he would not allow the Insect Emperor to swear an oath to the existence he was loyal to. Even though the King of Bugs was currently not paying any attention to Chen Feng, the moment Chen Feng poached the King of Bugs, who knew what kind of terrifying attack he would unleash?
"You don't have to worry about that. I'm already prepared. Saruman, come out." Just as Chen Feng finished speaking, the temperature beside him suddenly dropped. Then, a coffin suddenly rose from the soft soil. Then, the coffin opened, and Saruman's frosty face appeared in front of Chen Feng.
The way it appeared was becoming more and more flashy …
Saruman grasped the profession of death and was only one step away from the Epic Realm. Perhaps it had already accumulated enough energy, but what it needed now was a further understanding and recognition of death.
Thus, Saruman had locked itself in the coffin, attempting to complete the final step of its advancement!
The moment Saruman appeared, he raised his white bone scepter. A black ripple was visible to the naked eye as it enveloped the Insect Emperor in Chen Feng's hand. The ripple was sometimes large and sometimes small. When it came into contact with space, countless miserable cries could be vaguely heard. It felt as if Saruman had opened up a different world completely formed by the undead. It caused one's hair to stand on end and tremble with fear.
This was the first time the Insect Emperor had seen something like this. Its body tensed up, and its mental force was completely shut off. As a result, the ripple could only wander around the Insect Emperor's body, unable to squeeze in even an inch.
"Hmph, if you want to live, this is your last chance. Now, release your mental force!"
Chen Feng angrily shouted at the Insect Emperor.
It was meat on the chopping block. Although the Insect Emperor was extremely unwilling, in order to live, it had to give up some things. It had no choice but to relax its mental force. Then, it felt a cold current sweep through its entire body, just like the hibernation it had experienced a long time ago. The Insect Emperor only felt that every inch of its skin was kissed by frost. Moreover, this was no ordinary cold air, but a trembling emotion formed by the wails and roars of the dead. At this moment, the Insect Emperor felt that countless undead had appeared in its mind. Once these undead wreaked havoc, it would instantly be corroded, leaving behind an empty shell while all of its consciousness would be eaten by the undead.
This pain lasted for more than ten minutes on the Insect Emperor. Just as the Insect Emperor was about to freeze, Saruman put down the white bone scepter. At this time, its cheeks looked incomparably pale, as if it was suffering from a serious illness. Clearly, using this ability was not a small burden on it!
Saruman bowed slightly to Chen Feng as a sign of respect, then returned to the coffin and left.
With a casual fling of his hand, Chen Feng tossed the Insect Emperor onto the ground. The previously all-powerful Insect Emperor that had been able to refine countless insects was now in an extremely weak state. It rolled several times on the ground before regaining some consciousness. Only then did it straighten its body with a miserable appearance.
"I think you know what happened to your body. My summoned beast cast a Soul Sealing Curse in your mind. If you go against my will, tens of thousands of undead will wreak havoc in your consciousness. No matter how strong you are, once your soul is damaged, you'll only become a puppet. You've devoured humans, so you naturally know what it means to be in a vegetative state …"
"Alright, I've given you a chance. It's time for you to state your position …"
The Insect Emperor spent a lot of effort to stabilize its body. At this moment, it was no different from a human when they drank too much. It knew that its lifeline was already under Chen Feng's control. No matter how unwilling it was, at this moment, it had no right to negotiate or refuse. Therefore, this infamous Insect Emperor finally lowered its proud body. A slightly dejected voice sounded in Chen Feng's mind. "Hassan … is willing to respect you as my master … I'll never leave you …"
