That was a very sad, but inevitable ending. Such urrences were nothing new on the ck Ink Battlefield. It was also the reason why Liu Mu once stated that those who crossed the No-Return Pass only had two futures waiting for them, die at the hands of the ck Ink n, or die at the hands of theirrades. There were no other options besides these two.
The ck Ink nsman examined Yang Kai, who had been named E-5, “What Order are you in?”
Yang Kai activated the power of his Small Universe. Pretending to be respectful, he answered politely, “The Sixth-Order Open Heaven Realm!”
The ck Ink nsman raised his thick eyebrow and broke out in a savage grin, “Very good!”
It was clear he was very satisfied with Yang Kai’s strength.
“Let’s go.” After that, he gestured with hisrge hand and took the lead to step out of the ck Ink Cloud.
A-1 and the others quickly followed behind. Yang Kai did not dare to hesitate and hurried to keep up with them. Nevertheless, he was feeling extremely frustrated inside. With the current situation, it was temporarily impossible for him to head towards the great passes guarded by the Cave Heavens and Paradises. He could only take one step at a time.
The ck Ink Disciples all had different personalities. A-1, B-2, and C-3 seemed rather reserved and quiet, but the short old man named D-4 was very talkative. Quietly dropping behind the others, he travelled side-by-side with Yang Kai and asked, “Little Brother, which Cave Heaven or Paradise did youe from?”
Yang Kai turned sideways to look at the short old man, then he nced forward at the ck Ink nsman in front.
D-4 smiled and said, “There’s no need to be afraid. Our master is very easy-going. The ck Ink n is simr to us in that they all have their own distinct temperaments. You’ll be fine as long as you diligently finish whatever task Mastermands you to do. He will not restrict you during other times.”
He seemed to think that Yang Kai was scared of the ck Ink nsman, which was why he exined the circumstances; after all, it was only natural for a person who had just gotten a new master to experience a period of adaptation.
Thinking back to the time when he first became a ck Ink Disciple, he too had been very cautious. He felt like he was constantly walking on thin ice, scared that he might be punished for making a mistake. It was just that he had rxed considerably after working for his current master for so long.
“Senior, which Sect did you hail from?” Yang Kai countered the question with a question of his own instead.
He had to tell himself over and over again that the ck Ink Disciples often seemed no different from usual on the surface even though they had been corrupted by ck Ink Strength. It could be seen just by looking at the behaviour of D-4. Before being corrupted by the ck Ink, this old man had probably also been very talkative.
The reason Yang Kai did not answer was that he feared he might name the same Cave Heaven or Paradise as the other party and identally make a mistake.
D-4 smiled and said, “There’s no need to bother with formalities, just call me by my name. This Old Masteres from Nine Stars Paradise.”
Yang Kai was familiar with the Nine Stars Paradise; after all, he had interacted with the foreign affairs envoy of Nine Stars Paradise in the Star Boundary.
The truth was that he really wanted to ask which Cave Heaven or Paradise the others came from, but it was difficult for him to ask any questions if D-4 did not take the initiative to mention the subject; thus, he could only steel himself and report, “I came from Yin-Yang Cave Heaven.”
Out of the corner of his eyes, Yang Kai saw that none of the others had much of a reaction. He was relieved by their response as it would seem that none of them came from Yin-Yang Cave Heaven.
D-4 showed a look of realization, “Yin-Yang Cave Heaven, that’s a good ce.”
Yang Kai was reluctant to speak further regarding this subject as saying too much could result in a mistake, so he swiftly changed the subject, “Where are we going?”
“The Fierce Wind Estate!” D-4 replied, “Our master can be considered part of the Fierce Wind Estate, so we have to go there.”
Yang Kai’s eyes shed slightly before asking in a low voice, “Is Master a High-Rank ck Ink nsman?”
The ‘Fierce Wind Estate’ that D-4 mentioned was most likely the territory of a ck Ink Feudal Lord. In that case, a ck Ink nsman who not only served under a Feudal Lord but was also quite strong could only be a High-Rank ck Ink nsman.
Yang Kai originally guessed that this ck Ink nsman was equivalent to a Sixth-Order Open Heaven Realm Master in terms of strength, and it would seem he was correct.
D-4 also nodded in affirmation, “Master is indeed a High-Rank ck Ink nsman!”
Along the way, Yang Kai casually chatted with D-4 and discovered that the situation was just as D-4 described. The ck Ink nsman was rtively easy to get along with. Even though he noticed his servants chattering away behind him, he showed no intention to stop them.
Although Yang Kai’s murderous intent surged countless times, he did not dare to act rashly. This ce was the hintend of the ck Ink n, and if he was not careful, he would easily expose his identity. What’s more, he would asionallye across other ck Ink nsmen every once in a while. There were not many chances for him to take action, so he could only grit his teeth and endure.
A few dayster, a patch ofnd covered in ck Ink Clouds appeared in their field of vision. It was an incredibly enormous Spirit Province with dense ck Ink Clouds that permeated the void for hundreds of thousands of kilometres.
Yang Kai once saw an object in the void that was simr to a huge flower bud from a distance. There was one on this Spirit Province too, and it stood tall in the middle of the Spirit Province. When the flower bud rxed and opened, dense ck Ink Strength gushed out from within.
D-4, who had been travelling side-by-side with Yang Kai all this while, quietly poked Yang Kai in the arm, “This is Fierce Wind Estate, and the Feudal Lord in charge is named Kuang Feng.”
A look of realization appeared on Yang Kai’s face. A Feudal Lord was a ck Ink nsman equivalent to a Seventh-Order Open Heaven Realm Master in strength.
“What is that?” Unable to suppress the questions in his heart, Yang Kai asked a question while staring at the ck flower bud.
D-4 nced at Yang Kai curiously, “Don’t you know about the ck Ink Nests?”
Yang Kai had already prepared his excuse in advance, “It has not been long since I came to the ck Ink Battlefield, so I don’t know much.”
D-4 understood and exined, “ck Ink Nests are the foundation of the ck Ink n. It is also the ce where ck Ink nsmene from; therefore, all ck Ink Nests are extremely important to the ck Ink n.”
Yang Kai’s expression froze, [That’s the ce where the ck Ink ne from?]
He had caught a glimpse of many ck Ink Nests throughout his journey. If a ck Ink Nest could give birth to ck Ink nsmen, then how could the ck Ink n be annihtedpletely?
He couldn’t help asking in puzzlement, “The ck Ink n are born from this?”
D-4 nodded, “The ck Ink n do not have any reproductive ability whatsoever; all of them are born from the ck Ink Nests. Moreover, the ck Ink Nests have the ability to devour everything in existence. No matter the object, it can be transformed into nutrients for the ck Ink Nests as long as they contain energy. Once there are enough nutrients, a ck Ink nsman will be born and ck Ink Strength will be released. The ck Ink Strength is the foundation for increasing the cultivation of the ck Ink nsmen. Of course, they also love to devour World Force as doing so will improve their cultivation greatly.”
Yang Kai nodded in understanding and stared deeply in the direction of the ck Ink Nest.
During their conversation, they arrived above the Fierce Wind Estate. This ce was overflowing with ck Ink Strength, and the entire world seemed to be shrouded in shadows.
There wererge buildings scattered throughout the Fierce Wind Estate. These buildings were built in a crude and rough style, which clearly showcased the nature of the ck Ink n. That was not difficult to understand though as many ck Ink nsmen had arge stature, so it was not surprising that their buildings were also big.
Along the wide and spacious streets,rge ck Ink nsmen came and went. There were many of them. While most of them travelled alone, some of them were apanied by their servants. Be that as it may, their numbers were not high. Some only had one while others had two or three servants with them.
It was very rare to see a ck Ink nsman with five servants like Yang Kai’s situation. For that reason, the ck Ink nsman walking in front attracted lots of attention everywhere he went. Moreover, many of those gazes were filled with envy.
This situation caused the leading ck Ink nsman to be increasingly proud. He walked with an air of arrogance, as though nobody in the world was superior to him.
Yang Kai looked around and his expression showed some uncertainty. That was because he discovered that there were buildings simr to shops lining both sides of the street. In addition, there was a wide assortment of items being sold, many of which were actually resources needed for the cultivation of Human cultivators.
“The ck Ink n does business?” After holding back for a long time, Yang Kai finally couldn’t take it and secretly asked D-4 about this matter.
D-4 smiled and said, “These items are naturally useless to the ck Ink n, but they are useful to us. We may serve as Master’s servants and our lives may lie in his hands, but it will also benefit Master if our strength improves. We can help him gain more servants on the battlefield, help him devour more World Force, and ensure his safety; therefore, we will also benefit if we serve a good master as they will help us improve our strength.”
That was the same reason why ck Ink Disciples like Meng Qi were allowed to enter the Sealed World before the ck Ink n.
Meng Qi also mentioned that the ck Ink n wanted the ck Ink Disciples under theirmand to be as strong as possible. In any case, it was impossible for the ck Ink Disciples to betray their masters once they were corrupted by ck Ink Strength, so their loyalty would never be an issue.
That was why the ck Ink Disciples were allowed to enter the Sealed World first so that they could search for treasures and improve their strength. Only after that would the ck Ink Feudal Lords enter the Sealed World to devour the World Force.
However, Yang Kai focused on something else instead. Something D-4 said had given him the hope of escaping from the ck Ink n!
All ck Ink nsmen were bound to return to the battlefield sooner orter, so as long as he waited patiently, he would eventually find a chance to escape or kill them when he followed them out to war. Then, he could meet up with the Masters from the Cave Heavens and Paradises and head for the nearest great pass.
As soon as that thought crossed his mind, all the worries that had been guing him immediately disappeared. Yang Kai knew that what he needed to do now was to wait patiently until the opportunity to follow the ck Ink n onto the battlefield came!
Meanwhile, D-4 was still chattering away, “Also, Master currentlycks a flight type artifact. If he wants to obtain one, he has to buy the materials and hire somebody to refine the artifact for him. Nheless, their businesses are not only for ck Ink Disciples like us. The ck Ink n themselves also have business dealings among each other.”
Yang Kai nodded in response.
During their conversation, the ck Ink nsman led them into a shop. Inside the shop, another ck Ink nsman greeted him. They seemed to be familiar with each other and chatted happily for a while.
Yang Kai looked around and found that the store had everything, including artifacts for cultivators, pills, and even some high-quality cultivation resources. These items weremon in the 3,000 Worlds.
What attracted his attention were numerous objects the size of a head that resembled crystal balls. There were not many of these objects, only a dozen or so in total. Moreover, they were ced in the most conspicuous locations.
Before Yang Kai and the others arrived, there were already several ck Ink nsmen gathered around the crystal balls. They were scrutinising these balls with greedy expressions, as though they were very useful to them.
Yang Kai nced at the crystal balls, but could not figure out anything from them. All he could see was that something was flowing within them. Secretly releasing his Divine Sense, he investigated the crystal balls and immediately frowned in response. Although he did not dare to be presumptuous, in that moment of investigation, he seemed to have noticed an extremely intense World Force inside the crystal ball!
“Be careful!” D-4 noticed his actions and quickly warned him.
In a ce where the ck Ink n was gathered, there was a high possibility of provoking an ill-tempered ck Ink nsman by suddenly releasing his Divine Sense to probe the surroundings. If that were to happen, their ck Ink n Master would not defend them.
