Yang Kai had thought that his little provocation wouldnt have much of an effect; after all, his strength had been exposed, so no matter how stupid the Black Ink Clan was, they wouldnt fall for it again and again.

The Black Ink Clan might have even laid some kind of ambush here for him. Furthermore, the Territory Lords might also make a move.

But contrary to his expectation, his provocation actually succeeded this time as well! A few Feudal Lords rushed out from the universe fragment with their troops and chased after him.

Just like last time, when Yang Kai reached a suitable position, he turned around and began fighting with the 2,000 or so Black Ink Clansmen.

Nonetheless, he never lowered his guard. According to his estimate, a Territory Lord should be hiding nearby, waiting for an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to him. So, he had to be on guard against possible sneak attacks from tricky directions.

Just as Yang Kai was luring Feudal Lords troops away, the 200,000 strong Black Ink Clan Army hiding in the Black Ink Clouds on the universe fragment split into three forces under various Territory Lords, rus.h.i.+ng towards Dawning Lights location from different directions. The Black Ink Clan was planning to launch a surprise attack on the enemy forces.

The Black Ink Clan had a total of four armies prepared to besiege Blue Sky Pa.s.s with nearly 1 million soldiers in total. This was just one of those four armies.

Although it was not yet time for them to act, the temptation of the Humans lying in ambush on the universe fragment was simply too great.

Not to mention anything else, that one person among the ambushers was sufficient for these Territory Lords to take some risks. Furthermore, after their recent discussion, they had come to the conclusion that there would not be that many Humans lying in ambush as this place was quite far from Blue Sky Pa.s.s. 200,000 Black Ink Clansmen and over a dozen Territory Lords would be more than enough to squash them. So, according to them, there wasnt much risk involved.

They could still move together with the three other armies after eliminating these Humans.

Wu Ying, are you sure Zhong Liang is also there? Along the way, one of the Territory Lords asked.

The one called Wu Ying was the Territory Lord who had volunteered to investigate the Human Races ambush. Hearing this, he immediately gnashed his teeth as he rebuked, How could I mistake Zhong Liangs aura? That old dog severely wounded me back then. I almost lost my life. I would recognize him even if he is reduced to ashes!

The Territory Lord, who had just asked the question, nodded and continued, Good. In that case, weve caught a big fish this time. Zhong Liang is the Army Commander of the Western Army and holds a high position. If he dies, the morale of Blue Sky Pa.s.s will definitely plummet. Perhaps we can capture Blue Sky Pa.s.s this time.

Wu Ying fiercely stated, I want to kill him myself!

Dont worry, you will get your chance!

[Somethings wrong!]

Yang Kai keenly felt this during the battle. This was the third time he had lured the snakes out of their hole. The first time he had done so, he had managed to kill hundreds of Black Ink Clansmen. The Feudal Lord troops were simply unable to escape from him.

The second time, he was unable to kill all of them as there were just too many and he had no choice but to let a portion of them go.

The third time, he was able to lure the same number as he had lured the second time. At first, he had thought that a Territory Lord was hiding nearby, waiting for an opportunity to sneak attack him, but after killing so many Black Ink Clansmen and deliberately showing a few flaws, he still didnt encounter any sneak attacks. He didnt even notice the aura of any Territory Lords.

Was there no Territory Lord here from the start?

This wasnt the most puzzling thing though. What made Yang Kai even more confused was that these Black Ink Clansmen were actually fighting him to the death!

This was very unusual. The Black Ink Clansmen here were clearly in a panic after witnessing their fellow comrades being mercilessly slaughtered and ordinarily, this would be the time for them to escape, but not a single one of them fled.

After some time, Yang Kai managed to kill nearly half of the 2,000 Black Ink Clansmen. If the remaining half didnt flee, they would be wiped out sooner or later.

Yang Kai faintly felt that he had fallen into some kind of trap, but he could not worry about it at this point. Since there was no Territory Lord hiding nearby, he simply started a bloodbath!

After another hour or two, only 100 or so Black Ink Clan soldiers remained. These Black Ink Clan soldiers were extremely terrified and moved as far away from Yang Kai as possible whenever he approached. Nonetheless, none of them showed any intention of escaping.

Suddenly, a boiling Sword Intent appeared not far behind Yang Kai. The next moment, a sword cry reverberated through the void as a figure clad in sword aura came rus.h.i.+ng in, shredding every Black Ink Clan soldier in its path into pieces.

The sword aura suddenly split into several directions before converging the next moment, killing or injuring most of the Black Ink Clansmen.

When the figure wrapped in sword aura rushed towards the last Feudal Lord, Yang Kai hurriedly shouted, Keep him alive!

Yang Kai had deliberately not killed this Feudal Lord, so how could he allow someone else to kill him?

Fortunately, Feng Yings reaction was extremely fast. She immediately changed directions and slaughtered the remaining small fries after Yang Kais shout. By the time she turned around, Yang Kai had already used s.p.a.ce Principles to imprison the wounded Feudal Lord.

Why are you here? Yang Kai turned to Feng Ying.

Feng Ying instead asked back, Why cant your s.p.a.ce Beacon transmit messages in reverse? Martial Uncle Zhong Liang asked me to ask you about the situation here, but since I couldnt reach you, I had no choice but to come here personally.

Yang Kai was stunned, You sent me a message? I kept the s.p.a.ce Beacon in my s.p.a.ce Ring, so naturally you couldnt reach me.

After sending the last message, he had put away the s.p.a.ce Beacon because he was afraid that someone would send him a message, which would expose his whereabouts. He had never thought that Dawn Squad would really want to contact him.

Did something happen? Yang Kai asked in surprise.

Feng Ying shook her head, Nothing like that. What about here?

Yang Kai replied, furrowing his brow, Its a bit strange.

Saying so, he turned to the imprisoned Feudal Lord and asked, What are you plotting?

The Feudal Lord was imprisoned and unable to move. He had been beaten black and blue by Yang Kai, and if it werent for Yang Kai intentionally keeping him alive to extract information, he would not have survived till now. Although he was captured though, he just sneered and kept his mouth shut.

If you tell me, Ill give you a quick death, otherwise Ill make you suffer a fate worse than death! Yang Kai warned.

The Feudal Lord turned away his head. The expression on his face said that he was prepared to die.

Yang Kai pushed his spear into the Feudal Lords chest, gently stabbing it in, avoiding his vitals. The Black Ink Clansmans face twisted in pain as he roared, Black Ink Eternal!

Yang Kai frowned. It had been a long time since he had heard these words. Judging by the Feudal Lords att.i.tude, it was impossible to get anything from him. This Feudal Lord knew that he would not survive, so he stubbornly kept his mouth shut.

Whats more, he had no idea about the higher ups plans. He was just following orders to restrain Yang Kai here at all costs.

Yang Kai tried several other methods, but the Feudal Lord still remained silent. Yang Kai knew that he could not get anything from him and decided to finish him off.

Although he could not get anything, the Feudal Lords reaction gave him an eerie feeling. These Black Ink Clansmen clearly knew that they were no match for Yang Kai, but they had still chosen to fight to the death, seemingly stalling for time.

Right then, Yang Kai seemed to have realized something and immediately shouted, d.a.m.n it!

Saying so, his figure flickered as he disappeared from the spot.

Feng Ying anxiously shouted, Squad Leader! But Yang Kai had already disappeared from sight. All she could do now was follow the residual fluctuations of s.p.a.ce Principles and chase after him.

Yang Kai soon arrived at the periphery of the universe fragment where the Black Ink Clan army was stationed. The universe fragment was still shrouded in Black Ink Clouds, making it impossible to see the situation inside.

When he first saw these clouds, he found it a bit strange. Why would the Black Ink Clan waste so much effort to create these Black Ink Clouds? But if they were using it to conceal the movements of their army, it would make sense.

If his guess was correct, then this universe fragment was probably empty!

The Territory Lords had sent 2,000 Black Ink Clansmen to occupy him, while covertly mobilizing their forces. The Black Ink Clan was not stupid.

Although he had some guesses, Yang Kai still wanted to personally verify them, so he dove straight into the Black Ink Clouds.

The facts proved that his guess was right, there really wasnt a single Black Ink Clansman on this universe fragment. The 200,000 strong Army stationed here had disappeared. Presumably, the Black Ink Clan Army had set out just after he left.

[Is it because they had discovered a Human scout and wanted to take Blue Sky Pa.s.s by surprise?]

[Fortunately, things are not that bad. I can instantly return to Dawning Light and report this back to Blue Sky Pa.s.s.]

Just as Yang Kai flew out of the universe fragment in a hurry, he ran into Feng Ying who was chasing after him.

Yang Kai hurriedly ordered, Quickly return to Dawning Light, the Black Ink Clan army has already set out.

Saying so, Yang Kai took out his s.p.a.ce Beacon and activated it, disappearing the next moment.

Feng Ying didnt even have time to say anything before Yang Kai had disappeared on her again. She immediately stomped her foot in anger, That impulsive b.a.s.t.a.r.d!

Left with no choice, she could only activate the Universe Transference Law and return to Dawning Light as well.

On the universe fragment where Dawning Light was concealed, Yang Kais figure suddenly appeared next to Miao Fei Ping. The moment he appeared, he hurriedly shouted, Fei Ping, quickly return to Blue Sky Pa.s.s and inform the Army Commanders that the Black Ink Clans 200,000 strong Army has started moving Eh? Martial Uncle Zhong, why are you here? Whats everyone doing here?

Yang Kais face was filled with shock, staring at the figures around him. He was unable to comprehend what was happening.

Zhong Liang asked, furrowing his brow, You didnt meet Feng Ying?

I met her, she should be back soon, Yang Kai subconsciously replied.

While they were talking, Feng Ying walked out from Dawning Lights cabin, obviously having teleported back through the Universe Array; however, she arrived a few breaths later than Yang Kai.

Whats going on? Upon looking around, Yang Kai noticed that there were 8,000 people on this universe fragment, preparing for battle. Although everyone was silent, there was a murderous aura lingering in the air. This sight caught Yang Kai by surprise, Is this the entire Western Army?

Feng Ying explained, angrily glaring at him, When Martial Uncle learned that there were 200,000 Black Ink Clansmen gathered here, he led the Western Army here to ambush them. He plans to eliminate one of the Black Ink Clan Armies before the battle to reduce the pressure on the Great Pa.s.s.

Why didnt you tell me this? Yang Kai looked at her.

Feng Ying rebuked him with a glare, Did you give me a chance to speak?

Yang Kai couldnt help but scratch his nose in embarra.s.sment. It was a mess caused by him.

Zhong Liang asked, Is there any movement on the Black Ink Clans side?

Yang Kai quickly reported, I dont know where the Black Ink Clan Army has gone, but this Juniors actions must have made them cautious. The Black Ink Clan used Black Ink Clouds to conceal their movements. I dont know their current location.
