There was still about half a month before Great Evolution Pass’ arrival, so Yang Kai wasn’t in a hurry to attack the nearby two ck Ink Nests.
What he was more curious about was whether the ck Ink n’s defensive line was really as effective as they had thought.
With this ck Ink Nest under their control, it wouldn’t be difficult for them to verify this.
Without any dy, Yang Kai arrived at the chamber where the ck Ink Pool was and opened a portal to his Small Universe, allowing the ck Ink Nest to absorb his World Force and use it as a bridge to connect their consciousnesses.
At first, he felt nothing out of the ordinary, but when Yang Kai immersed his mind and carefully sensed his surroundings, he felt his consciousness expanding. Not only had the ck Ink Nest be a part of him, but even the surrounding void seemed to be within his reach.
The range of his consciousness was the area filled with the ck Ink Nest’s ck Ink Strength, though the further away it was from the ck Ink Nest, the blurrier his perception became.
Nheless, he was able to detect a foreign body if it intruded into the region.
As he had guessed, the defence line formed by the ck Ink Strength did serve as the warning system. This was also the reason why the ck Ink n sent a team to investigate them the two times they had approached to within a certain range of the ck Ink Nests so quickly.
Although Great Evolution Pass had seized a Mid-Rank ck Ink Nest and had done a lot of research on it over the years, they had no idea that it had such a function.
It wasn’t that the people studying the ck Ink Nest were careless, but rather that the Humans had invested all their energy into spawning sub-nests. Why would they even think about producing ck Ink Strength? For one, the ck Ink Strength was highly dangerous to the Humans.
Even the Low-Rank ck Ink Nest in Yang Kai’s Small Universe only gave birth to the weakest ck Ink nsmen and did not produce any ck Ink Strength beyond what he deemed absolutely necessary.
As such, Yang Kai was also oblivious to this function of the ck Ink Nests.
After carefully examining it for a moment and making sure he hadn’t missed anything, Yang Kai finally rxed somewhat.
By the looks of it, the ck Ink n’s defence line had two purposes; firstly, it served as a detection, so once a Human broke in, the ck Ink n would be alerted, and secondly, it would create an advantageous environment for the ck Ink n to fight in.
Over the years, the Low-Rank ck Ink Nests had been constantly producing ck Ink Strength, enveloping the region around the Royal City, making it difficult for Human cultivators to enter this ce.
This was the ck Ink n’s strategy to protect themselves.
Correspondingly, if the ck Ink Nests’ warning was only effective to this extent, then his previous n would work. If he could capture the nearby ck Ink Nests, then a gap would appear in defence line. At that time, Great Evolution Pass would be able to pass through and charge straight at the Royal City undetected.
The ck Ink n probably hadn’t even imagined that the Great Passes could be moved!
The Great Passes had remained in ce for countless millennia. Although they were strong and sturdy, they had only been used for defence, never to attack.
Now, they were being mobilized for the first time ever. The Humans would definitely be able to catch the ck Ink n off guard with this move. Furthermore, the influence of the ck Ink Strength on the Humans would be greatly diminished with Great Evolution Pass acting as a barrier and shield. If someone was not able to withstand the ck Ink Strength’s invasion, they could simply return to Great Evolution Pass and recuperate.
This was unlike before, where they could only rely on Warships.
Warships were constantly at risk of destruction, but if the ck Ink n wanted to destroy Great Evolution Pass, it would be extremely difficult.
Suddenly, hurried footfalls came from outside. Yang Kai returned to his senses and looked towards the entrance.
Shen Ao hurriedly walked in and looked at Yang Kai with a solemn expression, “Squad Leader, Bai Yi said that a ck Ink n team is approaching.”
“How many?” Yang Kai asked.
[That’s surprising. We just seized this ck Ink Nest, and now a ck Ink patrol ising? Did one of the nearby ck Ink Nests notice the disturbance ande to investigate?]
Dawn was extremely fast and hadpletely suppressed the fallout from their attack, so being noticed was unlikely, especially since even the closest ck Ink Nests were quite some distance away and there was a thick cloud of ck Ink Strength between them. Logically speaking, it should be impossible for them to detect anything.
“I don’t know,” Shen Ao shook his head.
Yang Kai hurriedly went out and soon arrived outside.
The Seventh-Order Masters of Dawn were hiding at the entrance of the ck Ink Nest, concealing their auras.
Seeing Yang Kai arrive, Bai Yi waved at him and pointed in a certain direction.
Yang Kai focused his gaze, using the Demon Eye of Annihtion, and noticed a ck Ink nsman was indeed flying towards them.
Only one!
In this ce, where everyone moved around in teams of no less than a dozen, it was quite strange to see a lone ck Ink nsman acting like this.
Judging by the approaching aura, it was a Feudal Lord, and they seemed to be heading straight for this particr ck Ink Nest.
[Damn it!]
Originally, Yang Kai wanted to quickly capture the two nearby ck Ink Nests to prepare for Great Evolution Pass’ attack, but he had never expected such an unforeseen event to ur. Be that as it may, since this ck Ink nsman hade knocking on their door, Yang Kai and his Squad had no choice but to silence him.
The upied ck Ink Nest had a huge w, which was that the ck Ink nsmen here had beenpletely wiped out. With not a single ck Ink nsman guarding this ce, if the other party became even a little suspicious, he would very likely realize that something was amiss.
Nevertheless, Dawn could do nothing about it. Yang Kai could not ask Shen Ao and the others to disguise themselves as the difference between Humans and the ck Ink n auras was too great. Their physiques also didn’t match.
Many ck Ink nsmen did have humanoid forms, and although some were Human-sized, most of them were far taller and imposing, with various warped shapes.
Everyone thus held their breaths.
The Feudal Lord quickly approached.
What made everyone heave a sigh of relief was that the other party appeared to bepletely oblivious to the capture of the ck Ink Nest. It did not look like it even crossed this individual’s mind that Humans could aplish this. He simply approached in a seemingly casual manner.
Soon, the neer arrived in front of the ck Ink Nest. The Feudal Lord examined it for a moment before curiously calling out, “Lord Bo Gao, why is there no one guarding this ce? Where did your subordinates go?”
Yang Kai’s expression changed slightly as he learned for the first time that the Feudal Lord he had killed inside the ck Ink Nest was called Bo Gao.
Furthermore, this guy appeared to know him.
This made Yang Kai curious about the purpose of the other party’s visit.
Yang Kai immediately had an idea as he replied in a hoarse voice, “The defence line has been frequently intruded upon recently, so they have all gone to investigate. Sir Feudal Lord has his hands full with the ck Ink Nest, so he is unable to reply. Sir, pleasee inside.”
He couldn’t disguise himself as Bo Gao, so he could only pretend to be one of Bo Gao’s subordinates.
Presumably, the other party wouldn’t be able to find any fault.
“En,” as expected, the other party didn’t suspect anything and simply walked towards the ck Ink Nest.
However, after taking just one step, he instantly retreated.
Yang Kai cursed, gnashing his teeth. This Feudal Lord was quite crafty.
[Perhaps he really hadn’t noticed anything before, but my reply gave him the confirmation that something was wrong, or perhaps the absence of the ck Ink nsmen alerted him, so he pretended to move forward before retreating.]
This time, Yang Kai was caught off guard.
Fortunately, Yang Kai’s reaction was extremely fast. With a single Instantaneous Movement, Yang Kai appeared beside the Feudal Lord and pounced at him.
The next moment, the Feudal Lord who was about to retreat suddenly froze as Yang Kai’s fistnded on his head, releasing a massive amount of World Force. The Feudal Lord immediately felt dizzy.
But this wasn’t the end of it. Yang Kai got a firm hold of his opponent and began bombarding him with punches.
The Feudal Lord felt extremely aggrieved. He was still a Feudal Lord, but he was being beaten to the point where he couldn’t even fight back. Every time he mustered some strength, it would be dispersed by the other party’s violent assault.
A momentter, he spat out a mouthful of blood as all the colour drained from his face.
Yang Kai grabbed hold of this Feudal Lord and returned to the ck Ink Nest in a sh before throwing him to the ground like a dead fish.
Shen Ao and Ning Qi Zhi nced at each other, speechless.
[The Squad Leader has grown even stronger.]
Ordinary Seventh-Order Masters couldn’t easily kill Feudal Lords since both were in equivalent Realms, let alone capture one alive, but Yang Kai was able to snatch up the other party like a helpless child.
Although they were shocked, their hands did not stop. Seals were sent out one after another, isting the ck Ink Nest from the outside world.
After a dozen breaths, the half-dead Feudal Lord slowly regained his senses. He shook his head and opened his eyes, only to see several Humans ring at him.
The Feudal Lord was beside himself in shock.
Yang Kai summoned his Azure Dragon Spear with a wave of his hand and thrust it straight at the other party’s eyes, arrogantly asking, “Do you want to live or die?”
The Feudal Lord didn’t dare to move and kept his mouth shut, sensing the Azure Dragon Spear’s sharpness.
“If you want to live, then answer my questions and perhaps I’ll spare you!”
The Feudal Lord’s expression changed several times before he grit his teeth and snarled, “Forget it, you won’t get anything out of me.”
He also realized that the other party had no intention of sparing his life.
It was obvious they wanted to obtain information from him, but Humans and the ck Ink n could never coexist. So what if he gave them the information they wanted to know? After they were done with him, he would undoubtedly die!
He might as well justmit suicide.
Saying so, the ck Ink Strength in his body started surging as he let out a low roar and he charged at Yang Kai.
Yang Kai’s spear nailed him to the ground as ck blood flowed out of his wounds, “Hmph, want to die? Not so easy.”
He turned his head and shouted, “Blood Crow!”
Blood Crow appeared on the deck and condescendingly looked at the Feudal Lord.
“I’ll leave him to you! Get everything out of him.” While speaking, he tossed the Feudal Lord to Blood Crow with a flick of his spear.
Blood Crow’s eyes lit up as his figure suddenly transformed into a billowing mass of blood mist that rushed towards the Feudal Lord.
A look of fear appeared in the eyes of the Feudal Lord, despite being prepared for death.
He wasn’t afraid of dying; otherwise, his attitude wouldn’t have been so unyielding just now.
However, there was a difference in the way one died.
Although he didn’t know what technique this Human named Blood Crow cultivated, the appearance of this Blood Sea gave him an extremely diforting feeling.
It pulsed with a malevolent aura not inferior to the one given off by ck Ink Strength.
The Blood Sea continued swirling, without making the slightest noise.
Yang Kai put away the Azure Dragon Spear.
Shen Ao leaned over and whispered, “Is it fine, doing this?”
Yang Kai lightly snorted, “What can I do if he insists? Rather than letting him eat on the battlefield, I might as well let him have his fill right now! If there is no other choice… I’ll handle it personally!” As he was speaking, murderous intent shed across his face.
Yang Kai would not show any mercy if Blood Crow really got corrupted by the ck Ink Strength.
A momentter, the swirling Blood Sea converged and transformed back into Blood Crow’s figure.
The Feudal Lord who was surrounded by the Blood Sea was nowhere to be found.
Blood Crow’s face was aglow as he could hardly suppress the Blood Qi in his body. After devouring over a dozen ck Ink nsmen’s Blood Essences, two of which were Feudal Lords, he was just barely holding on, somehow.
