After entering the Black Ink Nest Space, Yang Kai didn’t immediately take any action. He just quietly waited in a corner, observing the situation
As if everyone sensed that someone new had appeared, the surrounding Divine Senses swept over, but they soon ignored him.
Although most of the Soul Avatars entering this space were acquainted with each other, some unfamiliar faces would come in from time to time, so there was nothing strange about this.
Yang Kai secretly let out a sigh of relief. By the looks of it, he had successfully snuck in.
Inside the Black Ink Nest Space, Divine Senses kept surging again and again as naturally, the various Soul Avatars were communicating with each other. Some Soul Avatars did not conceal their thoughts from outsiders, allowing anyone to read their transmissions, but there were also a few who were secretly sending messages between acquaintances. As for what they were discussing, only they knew.
There were also many people like Yang Kai who just idled by the side, not participating in any chat. As such, Yang Kai did not particularly stand out.
After waiting for a while longer, Yang Kai finally began to wander around, reading the messages in the surroundings.
He did not manage to obtain any useful information after wandering about for half a day. The conversation between these Black Ink Clansmen was quite a mix. Some of them were thinking about how they would invade the 3,000 Worlds of the Human Race in the future and gather a large number of Black Ink Disciples to lord over, while others were worried about the situation of the Royal City; after all, the Royal Lord was seriously injured and the Black Ink Clan in Great Evolution Theatre was trapped. So, the Black Ink Clan’s situation was quite a mess.
There were also a few Black Ink Clansmen who seemed to be diligently cultivating.
After another half a day, Yang Kai had successfully infiltrated a few Black Ink Clan groups and chatted with them.
At the end of the day, Yang Kai had lived in the Black Ink Clan for many years, so he was quite familiar with their habits and lifestyle. As such, he did not reveal any flaws.
Had it been anyone else, they definitely wouldn’t have been able to participate in these conversations, thereby failing to obtain any information on the Black Ink Clan once they exposed flaws.
The conversation between the several Black Ink Clansmen shifted again and Yang Kai was finally able to lead them to a comparison of strength.
Yang Kai added, “The Seventh-Order Humans are equivalent to the Feudal Lords on our side, while the Eighth-Order Humans are on par with the Territory Lords, but if we really fought against a Human of equivalent realm, we rarely win.”
Sighing deeply, he wore a look of worry for the future of the Black Ink Clan.
One of the Feudal Lords disagreed, “There’s nothing we can do about that. Human cultivation mainly depends on a lot of accumulation over time, so their foundation is firmer. We, on the other hand, can use the Black Ink Nests to quickly increase our strength, so we’re naturally lacking a bit in comparison. But that doesn’t mean that we don’t have any advantages. Human growth is slow, and it’s not easy for Masters to appear. Although it’s not easy for us either, we’re much better than Humans in this regard.”
Another Feudal Lord agreed, “That’s right, our Feudal Lords might not be the match of their Seventh-Order Masters in a one-on-one fight, and even our Territory Lord might not be their Eighth-Order Masters opponent, but we still have the advantage in numbers.”
Yang Kai poured a bucket of cold water on them, “It is said that many Territory Lords at Great Evolution Pass died in battle, and the Royal City similarly suffered massive casualties. Although many Eighth-Order Masters from the Human Race have also died, generally speaking, it is still the Territory Lords who suffered more casualties. Many familiar faces have long since disappeared, and even the Territory Lords have fallen, let alone the Feudal Lords.”
The Black Ink Clansmen who were merrily chatting with each other suddenly felt a chill run down their spines and none of them was able to respond.
Yang Kai thought that the mental fortitude of these people was too poor, how could they just give up after a few words? Seeing this, he decisively continued to rub salt into their wounds, “Sir Royal Lord also… in this situation, what should we do in the future?”
Everyone let out a long sigh as the hearts of the Black Ink Clansmen tightened up.
A Feudal Lord who had been silent all this while coldly snorted, “So what if the Humans are strong now? Sooner or later, they will be our slaves.”
Yang Kai shook his head, refuting, “We can’t be so blind and arrogant. Before the Human Race Army attacked us, we all used to think that the Humans were nothing, but now we’re trapped in the Royal City, and we are doing everything to form a defence line to prevent the Humans from attacking.”
The nearby Feudal Lords all nodded.
Before the arrival of the Great Evolution Army, the Black Ink Clan of Great Evolution Theatre were extremely proud of themselves, because they were the only Theatre that had managed to capture a Human Great Pass. In the entire history of Humans and Black Ink Clan, the Humans had only lost Great Evolution Pass. The Black Ink Clan had never managed to repeat this feat in any other Theatre.
But the Black Ink Clan here was completely routed when the Great Evolution Army arrived. In the end, the Black Ink Clan was forced to leave behind a Mid-Rank Black Ink Nest and all their Seventh-Order Black Ink Disciples in order to escape from Great Evolution Pass. In addition, the Royal City suffered massive damage and casualties.
If they could turn back time, they would never underestimate the Humans again.
The Feudal Lord who was opposing Yang Kai let out a cold snort before rebuking, “The defence line is necessary. It’s fine if the Humans don’t attack, but if they dare do, they’ll definitely suffer.”
Yang Kai curiously asked, “Why is this Sir so confident? Have the higher-ups made some special arrangements that we don’t know of?”
Yang Kai assumed a humble look on his face as he asked while the others in the conversation also became curious.
The Feudal Lord hesitated for a moment, but ultimately, he answered in a low voice, “I don’t know whether higher-ups have made any arrangements or not, but the Royal Lord… seems to have recovered.”
Yang Kai’s heart clenched tight, [The Royal Lord has recovered?]
[How did he recover?]
[That’s impossible! The Royal Lord hadn’t been able to enter his Black Ink Nest to heal all these years as Old Ancestor Xiao Xiao hadn’t given him the opportunity to do so. It’s impossible for the Royal Lord to recover without entering his Black Ink Nest.]
Not only did Yang Kai think so, but the other Feudal Lords also thought the same. One of them quickly asked, “Has the Royal Lord really recovered? Is this news accurate? Where did you learn about this?”
The Feudal Lord stuttered, unable to explain.
Yang Kai’s voice turned heavy as he stated, “Sir, this concerns the Royal Lord, you can’t speak irresponsibly. It’s fine as it was just in between us, but if word of this got out, I’m afraid the Territory Lords will condemn you for speaking nonsense!”
Yang Kai didn’t know if the Territory Lords would really do such a thing, but in any case, making a big deal of things was currently to his advantage.
The Feudal Lord hurriedly defended himself, “I’m not speaking nonsense, it’s just…”
“What?”
“It’s just that… a few days ago, we faintly felt the aura of the Royal Lord’s attack. Although it was only for a fraction of a breath, it was definitely the Royal Lord’s attack.”
When the Feudal Lords heard this, all of them became extremely excited and quickly asked whether it was true or not. The Feudal Lord naturally insisted that he was not the only one who had sensed it as the other Feudal Lord in his Black Ink Nest had also sensed it.
Yang Kai’s heart sank as he asked, “How many days ago?”
The Feudal Lord casually replied, “Three days ago.”
[Three days ago…]
[It was right when Yao Kang Chen sent me that message.]
