Looking up, Yang Kai saw that there was a place that looked like a camp in front of him where several dozen Black Ink Clansmen were looking in their direction. The one standing at the front had two horns on his forehead and his burly figure made him look like some kind of two-legged Ox Demon.
Those several dozen auras apparently came from this group. Surprisingly, they were mostly Feudal Lords while the Black Ink Clansman who looked like an Ox Demon was a Territory Lord.
There were many powerful Black Ink Clansmen guarding the portal of this Sealed World, and their leader was a Territory Lord. It went to show how important the Black Ink Clan considered this place.
The Feudal Lord, who led Yang Kai to this place, gazed at the Territory Lord and cupped his fist, “Sir Mei Qiong.”
The Territory Lord named Mei Qiong nodded lightly. Just by taking a glance at Yang Kai, he figured out the latter’s identity, “Found a new Artifact Refiner?”
The Feudal Lord replied, “It was Sir Hei Yuan who found him.”
“Hei Yuan…” Mei Qiong snorted. Perhaps he had some grudges against Hei Yuan. Yang Kai could see a hint of disdain flashing through his face at the mention of Hei Yuan, “What’s his rank?”
The Feudal Lord replied, “According to Sir Hei Yuan, he’s a Great Master Artifact Refiner.”
“A Great Master? Hei Yuan is pretty lucky!” Mei Qiong was surprised; after all, since this plan had been started years ago, all the Black Ink Disciples who knew even a thing or two about Artifact Refining had been gathered here. It was hard to find a Great Master Artifact Refiner in the outside world.
Even in this place, there were only a small number of Great Masters.
“I’ll leave him to you, Sir Mei Qiong. I still have to go back and report the matter to the Royal Lord.”
Mei Qiong nodded, “Good. Just leave him here. You can go back now.”
The Feudal Lord went on to say, “The Royal Lord wants me to tell you and Sir Qing Lei to work harder and complete this task as soon as possible.”
In an instant, Mei Qiong appeared annoyed, “It’s not like Qing Lei and I can accelerate the process in any way. The Human Artifact Refiners are the ones developing it.”
The Feudal Lord asked impassively, “Do you want me to pass on your words to the Royal Lord, Sir?”
Mei Qiong felt his brow twitching. Feeling vexed, he uttered, “Qing Lei and I will work harder to supervise them. Tell the Royal Lord to rest assured.”
It was only then that the Feudal Lord bowed his head and flew towards the portal.
After the portal closed, Mei Qiong turned to look at Yang Kai and sneered, “You’re pretty bold. I hope your skills in Artifact Refining are just as great as your audacity.”
Yang Kai put on a fawning smile as he wouldn’t dare to say anything in front of this overbearing man.
Mei Qiong beckoned to a subordinate and ordered, “Bring him to see Qing Lei.”
“Yes,” Upon receiving the order, the Feudal Lord directly pushed his Black Ink Strength and engulfed Yang Kai with it before flying further into the Sealed World.
Just a moment later, they arrived at a huge valley where there was a Grand Hall in the middle of the mountain wall. There were a lot of Black Ink Clansmen moving around the Grand Hall. The Feudal Lord turned his head and ordered, “Come with me.”
He then shuffled into the Grand Hall; naturally, no one stopped him.
Yang Kai followed him closely.
Soon, they moved across the Grand Hall and arrived at an open-air platform on the other end. There was a well-built figure standing on the platform. Looking down from this position, one could watch over the entire valley.
The Feudal Lord, who led Yang Kai to this place, saluted the well-built figure, “Sir Qing Lei.”
Without turning his head, Qing Lei asked in a deep voice, “The portal of the Sealed World was opened just now?”
Although he was responsible for guarding this place, he was a Territory Lord after all. He certainly could detect that the portal was opened earlier.
The Feudal Lord replied respectfully, “An Artifact Refiner has been sent over from the Royal City.”
Qing Lei turned around and examined Yang Kai before nodding, “What’s his rank?”
“It’s said that he’s a Great Master Artifact Refiner.”
Qing Lei said impassively, “Not bad. Leave him to me.”
“Yes,” the Feudal Lord replied, then left the place respectfully.
Yang Kai stood there silently and waited for Qing Lei to speak to him; however, Qing Lei didn’t seem to have the intention of saying anything to Yang Kai as he remained unmoving.
Yang Kai had no idea what the other man was waiting for. Despite that, he had figured out some important information not long after he arrived in this Sealed World.
There was no doubt that Mu Guang Royal Lord treasured this Sealed World highly. Not only did it require a special token to open the portal, but there were also two Territory Lords guarding this place. One of them was Mei Qiong, who was responsible for guarding the portal, and the other was Qing Lei.
Yang Kai had no idea how many Feudal Lords there were in this place, but he was certain there were a lot of them.
The number of powerful Black Ink Clansmen here showed how cautious Mu Guang was. Although Yang Kai always knew this would be a difficult task, he still felt frustrated at this moment.
He could ignore the Feudal Lords, but it wasn’t easy to do anything without alerting the Territory Lords.
As Yang Kai followed Qing Lei’s gaze, he saw a huge Warship hovering in the middle of the mountain valley.
The size of this Warship was similar to the one he saw in Blue Sky Pass in the past. It was much larger than a typical Warship owned by a Human Squad, similar to the size of a Warship used by a Battalion. The appearance of the Warship was imposing.
Since Yang Kai was unable to get closer, he couldn’t ascertain the capabilities of this Warship; however, it had been 20 years since those from Yin-Yang Pass discovered the first prototype Black Ink Clan Warship, so the newer one must have been improved at least a little.
At this moment, there were a lot of Human Artifact Refiners that had gathered together in this mountain valley. Nevertheless, not every Artifact Refiner had the right to refine this kind of Warship. Most of the Artifact Refiners could be ignored. The most pressing issue for Yang Kai was to find out who was the Artifact Refiner that was in charge of developing the Warship. Only by doing so could he come up with a solution.
All of a sudden, a figure shot into the sky, which caught Yang Kai’s attention.
As he looked intently, he realised that the person was a Human, not a Black Ink Clansman.
The person was an elderly man who was in the Seventh-Order Open Heaven Realm; however, he appeared exhausted, as though he hadn’t taken a break from work for a long time.
